NIGHT FOOTBALL INAUGURAL GAME IS BIG SUCCESS The people of McHenry weren't neglecting to attend the football games because they were disinterested; they just weren't able to get to the games when they were held in the afternoon. This fact was established Monday night when the inaugural game was held under the new lights on the McHenry Community High school grounds and about five or six hundred people turned out. Although they were disappointed to see the McHenry team rose, they showed their appreciation to all those who donated much time and energy to make this lighted field possible. The school board, the faculty and all the students are grateful to them *lso, for the increased interest this deed will revive in school activities. For several years the scnool has felt the need for a lighted football field. Several reasons were given for this decision. One of these was mentioned above, namely that the business man and other working people could not leave work to be present at the games. School activities of this sort are always more successful if parents and friends are able to take part. Other schools in the county found that a lighted field relieved their iqain difficulty, as has been proven here in McHenry. Alumni Responsible Actual efforts towards getting a lighted field date back one year when a group of alumni, backed by George Frisby, started making a special Attempt to discover ways and means of obtaining this end. This group of boys went to work with might and main and sponsored several program* last year in order to pay for the actual lighting. Among these programs was a series of boxing bouts. After the fund had a good foundation, the question of installing the equipment was brought to light. However, with the help of these boys and several public spirited citizens in the community, this was accomplished. Clarence Douglas of the Public Service gave many hours of hte time In order to help with the wiring of the poles and installing the lights. Harold Hobbs also donated much time and effort in this service. At the time that the polet were being set up, the Carey Electric Shop lent the aid of two of the men on .the force, Dave Walkington and Ray Hughes, and with the help, Douglas, Hobbs, Frisby, and others, saw to it that the poles were raised. The Trades cldss, under the direction of Mr. Baum, also had a part in this, for they made all the reflectors as a class project. The poles were bought at a minimum cost from the Public Service company. ^COMMUNITY CLUB PLANS CELEBRATION TO HONOR FATHER A. J. NEIDERT Seventy-six members of the Johnsburg Community club attended a very interesting meeting last week. After the adoption of the secretary's report, the president, Mr. Meyers, called for the report of the committee appointed to pay the sheriff a visit in an attempt to discover a means lowering the number of outboard motors which are stolen during the summer season. Sheriff Edingei gave some valuable suggestions, expressing his regret that he could not cover the county as he would like to with his smRll force, but he told them he would co-operate with them to the best of his ability. The committee reported that they also called on the Board of Supervisors at Woodstock, and were received courteously in spite of the fact that the hoard was in session. The latter promised to give full consideration of the problem at hand. This same committee also reported progress made in the , matter of securing a law similar to that of the Automobile code, namely the Regulation Certificate of Title and Anti- Theft act, making it impossible to transfer a motor without title. Talks were delivered by John Pit sen, the Honorable Thomas, A. Bolger, Bob Hoff and others. - Mr. Severinghaus presented a motion that the organization sponsor a Father Neidert Night in appreciation of his two years of tireless good works for the community. The motion carried unanimously. Watch for future plans and activities in this direction in following issues of The Plaindealer. Father Neidert then rose to give his usual pep talk. He told them that it was impossible for one man to accomplish all the work of the past two years alone, and that he was indebted to the entire community for their splendid co-operation and to the hard working committees. He also expressed his desires for a great success on the "Night" dedicated to him and suggested that the proceeds might be use ! to obtain a purer water supply for the schools and other public buildings and to advocate a larger building program to care for the future. EXPECT NEW MINISTER AT METHODIST CHURCH FOR SUNDAY'S SERVICE INFANTS BODY FOUND SATURDAY, CRYSTAL LAIiE An investigation was started Saturday night by county officials after an infant's body was found at Crystal Lake. The body was returned to the property of Ralph Leonard's estate at the east end of the lake by his dog, "Scarlet," a pointer hunting dog. The dog had been running along the shore line and when found by his master was playing with an object, which Leonard said: "... looked very much like a human body." Sheriff Lester Edinger advances the theory that the body had been dropped into the lake and had been exposed to the* sun and air for a long period of time. Physicians said the baby had been four or five weeks ago. PUN TO APPOINT; RECEIVERS TO COLLECT TAXES DELINQUENT LIST NEAR8 $400,000 When the board of supervisors mat Woodstock Tuesday, they resolved that the taxpayers who are behind in paying their taxes in McHenry county would not be handled with kid gloves. They took the following action: Passed a resolution recommending to the county judge to appoint receivers in all cases where delinquent taxes are recorded against real estate owners, where there is an income. - In other words, the board plans to send the finance committee into the county court to ask that receivers be appointed in all cases of delinquent reel estate taxes, where there is an income of any kind.

The Harvard supervisor said it is too big a job for the county collector to handle all the back tax work and he suggested thef board, through th aid in this work. Monday County Treasurer Daly appeared in the county court and securlighting this field was no small task, and it is hoped that the pepole will continue to show appreciation and loyalty to the school by attending the games. The next game under lights will be McHenry versus Marengo on October 18, next Friday. SPONSOR MARIONETTE SHOW NEXT WEDNESDAY F. D. R.

Changes In ministers for many churches ift the Rock River conference of the Methodist church were announced Monday when appointments were read by Bishop Ernest Lynn Waldorf at the closing session of the 101st meeting of the conference held last week at Freeport, 111. Included in this list of changes was the Community Methodist church of McHenry and it is expected that the new pastor will be in McHenry to conduct the services at the church on Sunduy beginning with Sunday school at 10 a. m., followed by preaching services at. 11 a. m. The interior of the parsonage is . being entirely redecorated in anticipation of his coming. It is hoped there will be a large attendance out next Sunday to welcome the new pastor and to start the new fiscal year with enthusiasm, for without the hearty co-operation of everyone interested in the church, it cannot' expect to maintain Ha position in the community. You a>-e invited to attend services at the Community Methodist church next Sunday. Ministerial and lay delegates to the Rock River Methodist conference in session last week at Freeport on Friday put aside problems of policy and social reform to go to Mount Morris and celebrate the founding of the conference which was organized at Mount Morris 100 years ago. The program wis climaxed when a historical marker on the farm where the conference was organized in 1840 was dedicated. Bishop Ernest Lynn Waldorf gave the dedicatory address. Wilmette Methodist cnurcfi, hom« parish of Bishop Waldorf, will entertain the conference next year, it was decided.

While the coroner's jury was deliberating over its verdict, Arthur C. Reynolds, of 232i N. Rockwell street, Chicago, driver of the death car, suffered a heart attack and nearly died. Robert Baumgatren, 14, of 130y Jackson street, Waukegan, a habitual lunner-away, did it again last Wednesday night, North Chicago police were advised. And with him, Mike Dempski, 716 Fourteenth street, North Chicago, reported, is his bicycle. Dempski said Baumgarten delivered papers fur him. Some people evidently take seriously the appeal to do their Christmas shopping early. Emery McNamee. mail carrier; thinks he set some kind of a record last week when he delivered a package to Mrs. A. D. Bailey, 114 South Kensington avenue, LaGrange, plainly marked, "Do Not Open Until Christmas." Funny things occasionally happen in the newspaper business and the following true story is one of them. It applies to a well known Woodstock citizen. Thirty years ago the Woodstock newspapers reported the birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. C. Christensen. But in truth this was a boy, Walter Christensen. The newv papers of that day were in error. Last Wednesday, the Daily Sentinel reported that a girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Christensen at the Woodstock hospital. The item was correct except--it was a boy! Charles Leo Wiard, an artist of note, and the eldest son of the late C. F. Wiards, pioneer Waukegan resident, died suddenly last Friday evening at the age of sixty-five in his Minneapolis studio where he had been living since he left Waukegan twenty years agj. He was a bachelor. Walter Packalen, 715 Pacific ave., Waukegan, thinks that the person who threw a green tomato at his car last Tuesday night at Eight street and Victory street, Waukegan, has » long memory. Said Packalen to Waukegan police: "At the same time last year and at the same place, the same ftkMtir happened to me and my matm" pain at his home, wondering when he would be well enuogh to get out ana attend to his remaining^ farm dutias before the winter set in.

J., under date of October 8. states thst former assistant secretary of state, Raymond Moley. called for a president to serve as "a hired man who after a few years is not likely to thinK he owns the farm." Moley, who served under President Roosevelt in the early days of the New Deal, spoke before a Willkie-for-President club. "Call the roll of Presidents eager to perpetuate themselves." he sakL "The disease of Presidentitis i* spreading.
