Dalziel, who resides near McHenry, had her tonsils removed Saturday morning at the Woodstock hospital. Mrs. Ed Whiting: suffered a broken collar bone in a fall at her home near Ringwood last Friday. John Kelter is critically ill at his home in West MeHenry. X. H. Mosher, Edtor of The McHenry Plaindealer, suffered a slight heart attcak at his honie Sunday evening. He is resting comfortably, but will be confined to his bed for a week or ten days. Approximately $7,500 was mailed oat from the West McHenry State Bank on December 1 to 170 persons who^prepared for this holiday spending by affiliating themselves with the Christmas club. Three hundred sixtyfive million dollars were distributed to more than seven amd one-half million Christmas club members by eight hundred banking and saving institutions in the country, so popular has this institution become. This local figure is a decrease over the amount distributed in December of 1939, since the bank mailed out checks at that time amounting to almost $8,500. *• This system is of no benefit to the bank, but the reward comes hv knowing that by this systematic saving of money, the bank aids the depositor in lightening the financial burden around this time of year. The club members too, are highly in favor of this practice, as they are taught to budget their earnings each week in such a way that the Christmastime spending is a pleasure and not a burden, so that they have money to spare rather than having to scrimp the first few months of the new year. Business men are also numbered among the benefactors, as their business will be stimulated by these happy buyers who have money to spend, OLD GRANDPA WINTER SHOWS OFF, LEAVES ^ TRAIL OF ICE, SNOW '• -- ihlMcHenry has no official weather bureau, no one has quite agreed how low the mercury dipped Monday night (there have been reports all the way from 10 degrees below to 24 degrees below the zero mark) but everyone does agree that we have had oar first seige of cold weather. And then that same night, along with the frozen radiators and water pipes, came a blackout. No sirens screeched, however, and no bombs were dropped on the city. Instead, McHenry was without lights for about a half hour because the sudden intense cold had snapped the electric service wires. The repair job was completed in a comparatively, short time. Now that the temperature has journeyed above the zero mark, but has stayed below the freezing point, skaters, skiiers and all winter sports fanatics are enjoying this delightful pre-Christmas snow. Drivers find their work perilous at present with the ever increasing thickness of ice and snow on the pavements. Would that we could bottle this "perfect" weather for December 26, minus the Icy pavements. ABODNDIHE COURT HOUSE BtttNGS MAN BACK Deputy Sheriff Harold E. Reese left for South Beloit Tuesday afternoon to bring back Clarence Foss wanted in Woodstock on a charge of failure to support.
