Mosher, Publisher, „ ^ ;rt The McHenry Plaindeaiar, ^ r / AlcHenry, Illinois • ^ Hear, bir: . According to the letters that have appeared m your "fuolic Pulse" \ column concerning the Chicago and1 Aorth Western Kaiiwav ana their • attitude on furnishing adequate < transportation shows that our community is becomming alive to the fact that we have outgrown our present service of one tram a day.! Mr. Keevil's letter dn what the < utility companies have done to bring | us better service is indeed interest- ' ing. These utility companies do not > say, "You show us how many nlore customers we will get and we may \ do something;" they go ahead and m^ke the improvements and help bring the new customers. j j xiere are some interesting figures ; which show the increased business: j and number of people served by our ' post offices. | Increase of Postal Receipts for 1947 over 1937 196%. ! Increase of Postal Receipts for1 1947 over 1942 92%. | Increase of Postal Receipts for > 1947 over 1946 30%. | Number of people served in 1937, i 4,460. j Number of people served in 1942, 6,492. Number of people served in 1947, 14,496. The postmasters advise that these figures do not include the summer j figures but show our normal year round population served out of the post office^. Thanks Ray McGee and Elmer Freund for your help in getting me these figures. This t tremendous increase proves tha^- people want to live in McHenry township and its surrounding territory. NoW let us take a look at what the Chicago and North Western Railway thinks of our growing community. In a letter to the Illindis Commerce Commission last May, Mr. R. L. Williams, president of the Chicago and North Western Railway, had this to say and I quote: "Regardless of what our friends at McHenry and the other stations on this branch say to the contrary, the district north of Crystal Lake Junction has not yet' matured to the point where it can support additional commuter service during the fall, winter and spring months. Now the big question is: What constitutes a mature district and when we will mature ? We have residents out here the same as other communities who must report for work in Chicago at 8:00 A. M., and 9:00 A. M. We have the tracks but no trains to run on them. We have 1907 service and pay 1947 prices. We can support additional service, .but must have the trains to prove it. ' I believe Mr. Duker could write an interesting letter on how the walls of both the grade and high schools are bulging because of the increased number of students during the past years. Yours very trul; Louis and in Charaoiaf Mo., her school Taars. were spant. For ten years she was a clerk in the postoffice at Chamois until her marriage on July S, 1901, to Rev. George E. Jones, a young minister in the Christian church or Deseiples of Christ; Thus began a bu&y and fruitful community ministry and a satisfying family life that was to last almost forty-seven years. At Miami, Mo., a beautiful old Missouri river town, the one child of their union was born. The family lived in Miami forvfourteen years. Since retirement from the • active ministry" the church home of tne Jones family has been the Union Avenue Christian church of St. Louis. They lived in that city for eleven years until moving to McHenry in 1939. Mrs. Jones had a fine mind, a keen interest in world affairs, was an insatiable reader of daily newspapers and magazines and loved people, old and young. Her interest in people and things, in her world, never flagged. She had a large place in a great many lives, and those who knew her will keenly feel her loss. Since 1941 Mrs. Jones had been a member of McHenry Chapter, O.E.S., and 'while unable to attend, she was. verv proud of their work and their zeal. Besides- her husband and son and her devoted daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lillian Lawless Jones, she leaves to mourn «her death a brother, Robert I. Moir of Glendale, Calif.; three sisters, Mrs. Florence Miller of Labadie, Mo., Mrs. Jennie Billings of Houston, Tex., and Mrs. T. E. Gram French Dry Cleaning *r "French" dry cl^aninf, like "Tr<>y" laundry, b an amazing vestige from industrial history. It seems that the French actually did discover the actibte^s^various hydrocarbons in dissolvlngfcuLvy spots on garments, although the process #u improved and applied by Germans, British and Americans. The business got its start about 100 years ago. A young Frenchman is said to have opened the first Americsn dry cleaning establishment in Philadelphia." producing aad •tack for farm 0M eoat of ........ ..
