This letter is to compliment you and the McHenry Businessmens' Association fpr the very wonderful Annual Maifne Day Celebration that was held in McHenry, on Sunday, August 5, 1951. I was a visitor in McHenry at the time and watched the parade and the events on the Fox River. It was an occasion that I shall not forget for a long time to come. My age at the present time is 20. I was born and raised here on Chicago's Northwest side. But after visiting McHenry on and off for the laBt ten years, and watch ing it grow so rapidly, I sure would like to reside in McHenry sometime in the near future. That's my one greatest . ambition, Mr. Freund. and I hope that it will be fulfilled. So, once again, Mr. Freund, thank you very much for the wonderful show, and also for the hospitality that McHenry, Illinois extends to its visitors. Respectfully yours, James Patrick Delaney 1059 N.

Animal ailments being treated Successfully with blood transfusions include shipping fever, infectious calf scours, juandice in foals, sweet clover poisoning, anaplasmosis, leptospirosis, and distemper. Veterinarians also give transfusions of whole blood to pets and livestock suffering severe hemorrhage as the result of injuries or surgery. The blood donor must be a healthy animal, free of contagious or infectious disease. It should be fullgrown and not too old. In large animals, those which are three to six years of age make the best donors. Among small animals, donors from one and r one-half to five years of age are preferred. * The veterinary medical association explained that as a ride, a blood donor which has recovered from the illness for which the patient is being treated, is the best choice.

Our population has increased significantly. But our industry has kept pace with it, and there is very little unemployment. The key to expanding industry is the invention of new products, and the key to invention is the incentive provided by our Patent System. A new product can create an empire of manufacturing industries. At the beginning of the century, the two Wright brothers, operating a bicycle-repair shop in Dayton, Ohio, conceived the idea of putting their skill and imagination to work to make a flying-machine. If they could produce a successful flying-machine, it could be patented, and they could get financing to start a manufacturing business protected by their patent rights. They did succeed and by 1910 there were 300 workers making planes. Improvements on the original model were also designed and patented. The industry expanded rapidly. Today, there are 300,000 workers in America making airplanes, and as many employed in allied sources of Supply. The airplane is but one of the many inventions that stand as milestones along the historic road of our industrial progress. Let us feel certain that our future historians will also have bright chapters of brilliant progress toward the betterment of all humankind.
