LMFORMER RESIDENT IS VISITOR HIRE AFTER ABSENCE OF 16 YEARS Mrs. Adelaide Greenleaf of Orlando, Flk., who is better remembered by old friends here as the former Zue Gallaher, was a guest in the J. N. Sayler home the first of the week. Mrs. Greenleaf is visiting her late husband's Relatives in and around Evansville, Wis., and was brought here by her nehpew, Will Bucker of Rockford, 111., and nieces, Maxine and Marian Kelley of Columbia, S. D., who are also visiting in this region. This is her first visit to McHenry in sixteen years and many changes and improvements were noted by Mrs. Greenleaf. The Gallaher family left here thirty- one years ago in 1908 and went to Milwaukee and later settled in New York City. They came from Minneapolis in 1893 to McHenry where a brother, Fred Pilcher, and sisteiy Mrs. Auringer, wife of Dr. Auringer, were located. Mr. Gallaher, now 82 years old, is making his home with his son, Harry, in Amityville, Long Island, N. Y. Mrs. Greenleaf returned to visit in the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. John McDermott, Evansville, Wis., and expects, also, to visit in Beloit and Minneapolis before returning to Florida where her two sons are living. While here, calls were made on friends in Elgin and Woodstock. Mrs. Greenleaf states that her father has been very well until the last year when he has been troubled with heart trouble. The family is favorably remembered by old friends here. WORK IS BEGUN ON $200,000 PROJECT CRYSTAL LAKE "Y" ro. KLEIN HOME FROM TRIP TO THE NEW YORK FAIR * - WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF EASTERN SIGHTS JOBLESS &ENEI1T8 START ONJUNE 28 Construction of a $200,000 highway grade separation at the Crystal Lake "Y," locatd about eight miles southwest of McHenry, it is hoped, will eliminate the innumerable fatalities and less serious accidents which have occurred at the hazardous intersection in the past years. Work on the project was begun this week. The "Y" marks the junction of routes U. S. 14 and 111. 31. General contract was awarded to Charles Giertz A Son of Elgin on a low bid of $174,553, while the contract for the steel and reinforced concrete superstructure which will support route 14 overhead, was awarded the Davidson ft Doctor company of Orland Park. The bid of this latter ftrm was approximately $25,000. State highway engineers of the Elgin district will supervise the work for the state highway department. Route 31, the north-south highway linking Elgin. Dundee, Carpentersville and Algonquin with McHenry and points beyond, will pass beneath route 14 at the intersection. The east-west road, the Northwest highway, links Chicago and Madison, Wis. There will be a fourteen foot clearance between the surface of route 31 and the steel of the overhead. Construction plans call for completion of the project by about October 1. JAMES WALSH ELECTED GRAND KNIGHT BY THE LOCAL K. OF C.

Klein last week returned home •from a trip to the New York World's Fair and other points of interest in the East. The following article, which Mr. Klein so graciously consented to write, gives an account of his travels. "I left Chicago via New York Central railway on Sunday, June 11, at 1C:05 a.m., the train making stops at Gary, Ind., Niles, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Jackson, and Ann Arbor, Mich., to pick up members of a Powers Tour, and arrived at Detroit at 4:25 p.m., where more members of the ^ party joined. "AH boarded the steamer, Detroit III of the Detroit ft Cleveland line, which is 470 feet long, and left at 5:00 p.m., sailing all night, a distance of 437 miles, and arrived at Buffalo, N. Y., at 8 a. m„ Monday morning. Buses conveyed us to Niagara and across the river to the Canadian side where the Falls may be seen to best advantage. After viewing this giant display for about one-half hour, we were heading again for Buffalo, and once more boarded the N. Y. C. train and passed through Rochester, Syracuse, Rome, Utica, Schenectady and Albany, the capital of New York state, then south along the Hudson river for 142 miles to New York City, arriving there Monday evening at 9:30. Again buses took us to the Lincoln Hotel, where splendid rooms with bath were provided. Toar New York City _ "On Tuesday morning we hid "a sight-seeing tour through all sections of the city. We passed through Al Smith's East Side, Fifth Avenue, Broadway, Central Park, Bowery, and saw Eddie Cantor's and Jack Dempsey's homes. "Also saw many foreign shipa in the harbor, among them the Normandie, Bremen, Aquitania, Hansa and several others. "After lunch we again boarded steamer for a trip up the Hudson river, passing close to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, as far north as the George Washington bridge, then back and into the Blast river, under the famous Brooklyn bridge and six others connecting Manhattan and Long Island, on to Whiteatone pier. From here buses conveyed the party to the New York Fair grounds. The grounds occupied by the Fair had always been a swampy, worthless area, reclaimed by filling in with refuse of every description "While on the grounds about 3 o'clock it began it rain, so got on a sight-seeing bus, of which there are over a thousand on the fair grounds, till it stopped raining, and took in some of the exhibits. At 9:30 we watched the electric fountain display and fireworks. At about 10 we boarded a Long/Isiand train via subway to New York. At the Fair "On Wednesday it rained all forenoon, so remained at the hotel till about one o'clock. By then it had stopped raining so again went to the Fair. First went into the Perisphere and Trylon, then General Motors, both of which were very interesting; then saw, Ford Buick and Chrysler and railroad displays, the latter showing a number of engines of the early '80'f. The Horticultural gardens were very beautiful. Thursday morning we left New York via Baltimore ft Ohio Railway for Philadelphia. From there buses took us to many historic places. At Independence Hall I not only saw, but had the pleasure of touching the Liberty Bell. Also saw Benjamin Franklin's grave, Betsy Ross' home, where the first U.S. flag was made, Wanamaker's famous store; then down Ocean Boulevard, across New Jersey to Atlantic City, and the famous Board Walk along the ocean for seven miles. "WJe crossed the Delaware river from Philadelphia to Camden, N. J., going and returning. As Philadelphia is a very old city it has no skyscrapers like New York, Brooklyn or Chicago, From Philadelphia we were through Delaware, passing Jobless workers of McHenry. 111. who may be entitled to weekly cash Unemployment Compensation payments were advised by Norma T. Scott,, manager of the local Illinois State Employment Service office, to go to the office on and after Wednesday, June 28, to make appointments for filing their first request forjoenefit payments. / The State Employment Office is located at the Post Office Building, in Woodstock. It is open daily from nine o'clock in the morning until ftve o'clock in the afternoon. While actual claims for Unemployment Compensation wiM not be accepted until July 1, the State Employ, ment Office will be ready by Wednesday, June 28, to start scheduling appointments for taking claim? for benefits. If a worker is now unemployed and expects to be unemployed after July 1, he should make an appointment between June 28 and June 30 to file his claim. Manager Norma T. Scott said she expected hundreds of persons to file claims during the first week of Jury. By making appointments Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, June 28-30, jobless workers can save themselves waiting and delay after July 1. . The State Employment Office man. ager explained that Unemployment Compensation is a type of state-administered job insurance. The entire cost of job insurance in Illinois is paid by employers. More than 30,000 employers have been making contributions to the job insurance fund for two years. But not all unemployed workers in Illinois will be entitled to weekly cash bonefits after July 1. Only those persons who worked at insured jobs will be able to get payments. Insured workers include those employed in business, manufacturing, building, mining and service establishments that employ eight or more persons. Certain other employers hiring less than eight persons also have voluntarily insured thqfe workers. Some workers are not iaanred regardless of the number of persons working for a firm or employing unit. These include farm workers, domestic servants, workers in certain non-profit institutions, government workers including those on WPA, minor children attending school or working for their parents, members of crews of ships and interstate railroad workers. Railroad workers, however, are insured under a federal law. An unemployed worker will be eligible for benefits between July 1, 1989 and March 31, 1940 only if: 1. He has earned $225 64 jmore while working at insured jobs in 1988. 2. He is able to work and available for work. No benefits will be ptid for weeks of sickness. 8. He has registered fot work at the office of the Illinois State Employment Service that serves his community and continues to report to that office when requested. 4. He has filed an original claim for benefits at the State Employment office after July 1. 5. He has put in a two-week waiting period after July 1. No period of unemployment prior to July 1, or during which the worker is not registered at the State Employment office will count as a waiting period. Nor can a worker be paid compensation for any week he is not registered. The weekly payment to unemployed workers who meet all eligibility tests will range from $7 to $16 a week. The exact amount that an unemployed per- Ison can get a week will depend upon this or her earnings in insured jobs jin 1938. I Ordinarily an unemployed worker I may expect to get slightly more than half of his average weekly wage, but nob less than $7 a week or more than $16 a week. The number of weeks that a worker may draw benefits also depends upon his earnings on insured jobs in 1938. No worker, however, will be able to get payments for more than 16 weeks of total unemployment between July 1, 1939 and March 31, 1940. MM MtM'l IHHMItHMHI FAIR PLAY WILL BE SPEAKS BEFORE G. O. P. IN CHICAGO Making his maiden speech afc the state's new Republican national committeeman before the 1940 Club at tho Sherman Hotel in Chicago Monday, Hill Blackett declared for a new deal in party management in Illinois. He said: "Too often in the past we have operated as though the Republican party here in Illinois were a country club with a waiting list. Some little cliquc would get together in a huddle, come out with a slate and foist it on the party. If you weren't a member of that particular clique you were out in the rain." After a momentary surprise at this declaration for a new party leadership the large audience in the grand ballroom applauded enthusiastically. Blackett added: "The country is ready to leave the New Deal and turn to new leadership, provided we give them the right kind of leadership ..Any one who has felt the pfcilse of the American people knows they don't want candidates selected in that well-known, smoke-filled back room and thrust down the throats of voters." Hands OIF, His PdkjT"~r The new leader pledged himself to keep his hands off the candidacies in the coming April primary, and declared any citizen who felt the urge of becoming a country saver would have an unobstructed field. j The crowd liked that, but really stood up and gave a from-the-heartout roar of approval when he announced campaign funds collected next year in Illinois would be apportioned to the needs of Illinois before any money trickles through to the national committee. * Reporting on his recent interviews with party leaders and congressmen at Washington, Blackett said: "Everywhere I found new justificable hope for victory in 1940. I say 'justifiable hope' because the one outstanding fact in American life today McHENRY FARM OWNERS .
