S2. The Fords had returned from a vacation trip through the southwest and had stopped to visit at the Sondowski home. Mr. Ford left to purchase a package of cigarettes and has not beea nam since that timft. As week* go by and no clues are uncovered, Cicero police, who have been conducting a state-wide search in conjunction with the Chicago Bureau of Missing Persons, believe there is strong possibility that Mr. Ford may have lost his memory. According to Mrs. Ford, they expressed the view that had he met with foul play, he probably would have been found by this time or at least some clue would have turned up. Mrs. Ford, who has been dividing her time between her home in McHenry and Cicero, where she has kept in constant contact with the police, is opening the local PASS ORDINANCE TO | Local Merchants CLARIFY WARD HUE" uiercnanis IN NEW SUHDIVBUOff The City Council passed as ordinance Monday evening which will clarify ward lines separating parts of wards one and two in the City of McHenry. With the coming of spring (lection, it was found necessary to change the line which fortttrly ran north from the intersection of Front street and Waukegan Road. With new subdivisions develop-, ed, it was found that the ran throfagh some lots. This, course, would cause confusion determining voting places. While the new line will nor affect those who have voted previously in McHenry, it will clear up the question lor those residing in some of the new resldtooea.

' Plan Dollar Days BEGIN PLANS FOR McHENRY Once again McHenry's merch-1 g|m ants are planning on two gigantic I | f f ANI dollar days, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 16 and 17. Next week's issue of the Plaindealer will carry all of the spectacular buys which will be offered residents of the community. The severe winter weather this year would normally provide merchants an opportunity to dispose of all winter merchandise but very poor roads have kept many shoppers at home and confined their purchases to the necessities. For this reason, there is an abundance of fine goods remaining in local stores which will be of interest to both the men and women of the family. This will be sold very reasonably to provide room for spring stock. Watch next week's Plaindealer for some of th^ biggest buys of the year.

Gilbert Waiaahaar of the will blanket its entire gas and electric service area is being completed by the Public Service company of Northern Illinois, it has been announced by Brltton I. Budd, president of the utility. The first substantial unit of the system was put inoperation in the company's southern division about two years ago, followed by similar installations in the Illinois Northern and Western United divisions last year. Fixed transmitter rtations in the new set-up, which will augment the company's present telephone communication facilities, have been installed at twenty-two strategically located spots throughout the area. Receiving sets already are installed in many trucks and service cars and when the Installation is completed, a total of 338 vehicles will be equipped for sending and receiving messages. Under the new system, according to Mr. Budd, the company expects to be able to maintain effective emergency communication between key operating points as well as in the field should an emergency arise such as the severe sleet storms of Jan. 1, 1348 and Feb. 13, 1950. Many will recall the two storms which wiped out practically all communications betweeQ towns in the area and made/it virtually impossible for the company to speedily dispatch repair crews to the many trouble points. The system will speed restoration of electric or gas service following Interruptions regardless of whether the cause is storm, accident, equipment failure or some other, trouble, he said. Orders can be flashed from dispatchers to trouble crews through any of the twenty-two transmitter stations on a second's notice which will efficiently co-ordinate necessary work to be done during emergencies. Separate frequencies are used-- one for sending from the tixed transmitters and one for sending from the vehicles--in order to avoid jamming or overlapping of messages. The twenty-two land transmitters are .located at Waukegan, Northbroon, Crystal Lake, Maywood, Harvey, Kankakee, Joliet, Streator, Lacon. Pontiac, Aurora, Aledo, Sandwich, Mendota, Alpha, Lena, Phophetstown, Dixon, Sterling, Oregon, Freeport and Belvidere. The new communication system is the result of constant study by state and in this community. The body rested at the Peter M. Justen funeral home until Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when last rites were held there, with burial in Ringwood cemetery.

Bill Temple handled the event two years ato and those who witnessed it had only the highest praise for an outstanding show. The 1950 fair was successful in spite of the very cold weather of la6t July and the board members feel that with a little more cooperation from the weatherman this year the 1951 event should be bigger and better. Campaign If Launched To Collect Back Taxes The county treasurer's office at Woodstock haa launched a campaign to collect back personal property taxss due the county. At the instigation of the finance' committee of the board of supervisors, J. G. Stevens, county treasurer, has sent out letters to several taxpayers preparatory to levying upon the property where the tax is not paid wltbln ten days from the date of the letter. About 90 per cent of the personal property taxes have been paid Mr. Stevens says, but there are some taxpayers who believe they do not have to pay this tax and this is an erroneous idea. Mr Stevens states he intends le make a thorough effort to collect these tuxes. TRAIJf 8EBTICE McHenry to Chicago Commuters took the early train at 7 o'clock last Saturday or stayed at home.
