THE DIES REPORT The House committee investigating un-American activities, headed by Representative Martin Dies of Texas, in a unanimous report has placed upjon the Department of Labor-a large part of the responsibility for the subversive activities, espionage and foreign propaganda which have been going on in the United States in recent years. • Secreraty of Labor Frances Perkins Mid her department assistants are charged with failure to enforce the deportation laws, and the committee declared that "the laxity with which the Department of Labor deals with alien agitators would be unbelievable if we did not have before us the most convincing proof." The report also expressed the belief that the National Labor Relations Board should be thoroughly investi gated to determine "to what extent the board members ^nd employees approve the Communistic views expressed by David J. Saposs, the board's economist." Without mentioning him by name, Hie report also criticized the failure to enforce the law and orders of the Courts by former Governor Murphy of Michigan during the sit-down strikos in that state. Murphy was defeated for re-election, but has just been appointed Attorney General of the United States. While the Dies committee has been criticized in various quarters for its findings, it should be remembered that it is composed of five Democrats and two Republicans, and that all seven ijnembers signep the report." It is unreasonable to suppose that the ftve democrats would thus unanimously Condemn officials of thei* own party unless there were good grounds for such* action. We understand that parties from CiueagO"""will, as soon as the weather! ill permit, commence the erection of, a Club House at Slocum's Lake, on ! land belonging to T. V. Slocum. 1 We understand the PSstakee Yacht Club will build an elegant club house] at the Bay early in the spring. - It will be 35x70 feet and finished off in a style second to no building of the kind around the lakes. The many friends of Mrs., Elisha Hubbard of this village, will be pained to learn that she suffered a partial stroke of paralysis the latter part of last week, and has since been lying in a helpless condition at her residence here.

THIRTY YEARS AGO THERE WE HI NO *KNI<*HTS Of THE ROUND TABLE' IN*KIN$*MTHUI& TJME.^ Although many historians^ are doubtful whether such a person as Arthur ever lived, others concede that there may have been a British chieftain by that name, but state that his "existence and deeds have very little to do with the origin of the cycle of romances to which his name is given." He is supposed td have lived in the Sixth century and to have been killed at the battle of Camlan. Authentic history, however, does not have any record of his actual existence--much less the existence of 'his legendary court and "Knights of the Roundtable." WNU Service. Butter remained firm at 29 cents on the Elgin board of trade Monday. C. E. Sherman has had installed in his home a Western gas generator, an acetylene plant, which cooks, heats and lights to perfection. John H. and George D. MacKay, having purchased the Thomas Mc- Bride cottage at Pistakee, will make that place their summer home hereafter instead of the Islay >cottage which they have occupied for the last nine years. Rumor has it that a handsome new coliseum on Water street is among McHenry's possibilities. The venture, we believe, will be a paying one. TWENTY YEARS AGO AN OLD HOUSE By ANNE CAMPBELL The ghost of one who climbed these stairs With halting steps precedes me still, When, happily devoid of cares, I run up with a merry will. This house has borne such tragedy, Andjfrpt its smiling windows meet The sunsetJ^with tranquillity, Whether in gladness or defeat. I hope whatever Fate may do That I shall stand, as this house stands, Strong in each circumstance, the blue Hues over me, and in my hands Such warmth and hospitality That I can draw, as this house does, All sad and weary hearts to me, For comfort where dismay once Was. Copyright. MISS YOUTH--1939 Wm. Karls, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Karls, of this village, bears the distinction of being the first McHenry boy to return home from overseas duties, he having arrived in this village last Saturday morning after nine months' service in France. Most of the walks about town are again free from snow. Now let us make it our business to ke<£p^them so' during the balance of the winter. A new eighty foot brick smoke stack was completed at tn« ooraen milk bottling plant here last week. The windows are now in St. Mary's church and with a few more days of favorable weather the workmen will also complete the tile roofing job. Use of the 'Dog Ring' During the periods of famine in the Netherlands in bygone years, all dogs over a certain size, or those that could not.pass through the "dog ring," were ordered killed because they required too much food, according to a writer in Collier's Weekly.
