Held Record For , Longest Service • ^ ^In McHenry County "%4. In the little community of Ring- ,',fv. wood, housed within a building ^which also 5 serves residents of .'the area with the general items • ^ carried in a small drug, store, is _ one of Uncle Yarn's postoffices. The old fashioned box,, containers which hold patron's mail are the same which were installed fortyfive years ago, when 8. W.- Brown , was appointed to serve as postmaster there. Last week Friday, June 30, he relinquished hii position and with it went the record of the longest term of service for a postal . employee in McIIenry county. Mr. Brown will be 70 years old next month and in compliance with a government regulation concerning the age of postmasters he would haye been able to hold office only until the end of the quarter in ,*1 September. To simplify natters,, he resigned at the end of the government year. The quick moving, efficient former postmaster received his commission on Nov. 21, 1904, and recalls that this was the day that TheodOre Roosevelt was elected to - the presidency. Mr. Brown has served contiguously since that time, as well as managing a .well __.i. stocked _ drug store through al- 0 most a balf century. He also expects to retire from this work in the near future, as soon as his business is sold. During so long a period of serving a sometimes demanding public, one would expect to have encounter ered many serious complaints, but not so, Mr. Brown. He is quick to add however, that there have been numerous times when he has been held responsible for letters arrival lng late, or not at all, but he ( shrugs off such minor complaints as part of his job. Service Expanded While Ringwood remains a small community, it has grown considerably, as testified by the large increase in service In the postoffice there. In 1904 there wefe sixtyfive boxes within the postoffice and no rural rout*. Today there are eighty-five boxes, in addition A to 676 on the rural route, the latter serving 952 families and 2,831 patrons. Mr. Brown recalls the start of the first rural route in 1906, when Scott H. Harrison was appointed to care for the needs of families in the outlying district, the daily trip having been made by horse and buggy. Others followed Mr. -Harrison in this order: H. W. Allen, Henry Stephenson and the present carrier. Jay W. Crlsty, who has held the position for the past ten years. Third flam One of Mr. Brown's happiest memories is of the advancement of the office from fourth to third class on July 1, 1943.. He also recalls, but unpleasantly, a robbery which occurred during his years as postmaster, but he adds that the V. burglars failed to touch any of W Uncle Sam's mall, confining their theft to items from the drug stor-\ He is succeeded as postmaster by genial Victor Mtlbraifdt, a summer resident of Wonder Lake since 1936 and a permanent resident since 1941. Mr. Milbrandt operated a variety store at the Lake for five years until giving up this business about a year ago. So quietly and efficiently has Mr. Brown carried out his many duties during the last forty-five years that few people roust real- Ice how great were his responsibilities. In addition to retiring from his postal and drug store duties, he also resigned last week from the position of township school treasurer, which he had held since his appointment March 30, 1923. His successor is Ray Page, who was appointed by the ^ school trustees of the township. * Peter Smith, Chancey L. Harrison and Clinton Martin. . REPUBLICANS MIT The Young Republican club held its last meeting at Oakmoor -,.Inn last week. Speakers were County Clerk Raymond D. Woods, and Assistant Supervisor A. B. McConnell of Dorr township, who talked -on the operation of the ft county in relation to the work of the board of supervisors and Clerk Woods. Atty. Wm. M. Carroll, Jr., presided at the meeting. Mrs. Joseph Harrer and daughter, Helen, and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Herdrlch spent a few days last week in Minneapolis, Minn., where they attended the funeral of a rel- . . . . k£c:\ • . * ,A... ANNUAL LEGION CARNIVAL DREW LARGE CROWDS ~ In a season when rain seems to fall with every passing cloud, the McHenry Legion Post, No. 491, and vacationers alike, may well feel fortunate that the weatherman . was kind enough to bring mostly pleasant weather over the weekend. It meant success for the annual Legion-sponsored carnival, as well as a pleasant long weekend for work-weary Chicagoans. Only Saturday evening's rain dampened the enthusiasm of carnival- goers, although low temperatures on Sunday night kept the crowd frotn being sis large as was expected. However, Monday and Tuesday evenings made up for any lack of patrons on the opening nights, providing a really spirited finish to a long holiday weekend. The Fox River and nearby lakes buzzed with the sound of boats during the foyr days, while land sports enthusiasts filled golf courses, tennis courts and baseball diamonds. The only note of regret lies In the thought that the July 4 weekend was the last holiday of the summer until the call of school bells and frosty autumn nights send summer visitors back to the city on Labor Day.

Woodstock Youth Was Boys State Governor A Woodstock youth, Kenneth Merwin, son of the Clifford Merwins, was elected governor of the 19S0 Boys State at Springfield last Friday, defeating John Murray of DeKalb, 493 to 449.

Either a window had been left unlocked or someone had gone unnoticed into the washroom as the attendant was closing and had opened it from the inside.
