PUBLIC TWICE TOLD TALES Forty Years Ago A neat little surprise was sprung on their friends last Wednesday morning when Miss Arline M. Stephenson of Ridgefield and John W. Schaffer of this place were quietly married at St. - Patrick's Church parsonfe. Witnessed by only the members of the immediate families and the ceremony of the simplest kind, Miss Dorothy E. Stoffel, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Stoffel of this place, and Curtis C. Westfall of Bushnell were. united in marriage. A very pretty wedding was celebrated at-St. John's Catholic church at Jphnsburg when Miss Celia Barbara Nell and Frank T. Fox were united' in marriage. Sunday and Labor day were record breakers for the hotels in McHenry and from all reports we should say that this village entertained more visitors on these two days than ever before. The cement work on the Barbian Brothers new business block is to be started some time next week. The police .officers of McHenry have received their new uniforms, which gives them somewhat of a metropolitan appearance. * Five Carloads of canned corn of last year's crop were shipped to Chicago from the McHenry factory during the past week. The factory will open for the season's run next week. Jacob R. Justen recently purchased the ninety-two acre farm owned by the Anton Meyers estate and located near Johnsburg. The purchasing price was $166 an acre. Miss Anna M. Carey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Carey of Ringwood, passed away very suddenly at Racine, Wis., on Friday afternoon of last week.

HoClTLLOM LAKflt INCORPORATION My Dear Mrs. Elmo McKim: Were it not for old timers like yourself (who have helped so generously support the improvement projects of the Mc- Cullom Lake community during, your term of residence) leaving our ranks, it would not be necessary to resort to incorporation. How well we do renaember that glorious night that you had reference to in your letter in the "Public Pulse" in last week's edition of the Plaindealer. If our memory serves us right, it was just fifteen years ago when we, too, paid a buck for a ducat which entitled rns to an evening of entertainment at the "Fox Pavilion" in McHenry, and when the final score came in on the proceeds, there was enough left over for a four-block oil job on the roads of our community. The many changes that have taken place in the entire world during those fifteen years have also affected our little community. » Being one of the old timers myself, I can authoritatively state that it is no longer possible to 'maintain our roads and other facilities which help insure our property values by charitable means. The Property Owners Association, through sweat and tears, were able to cope with the problems that presented^ themselves as the years went" by. These problems were ever on the increase as the population grew until they reached a peak where the membership in this organization, which comprised of 50 per cent of our population, could no longer carry the entire burden. As the "Let George do it" attitude began to grow among the new comers, the roads and other improvements suffered. Now, Mrs. McKim, I heartily appreciate the fact that you have the interest of McCullom Lake at heart while you enjoy the conveniences of * incorporated. Caulfield, Mo., hut please remember that we have our principal invested in property at McCullom Lake. For your information, the efforts to incorporate as a village, which were sponsored by the Property Owners association two years ago, were defeated by oflly seven votes. Were it not for the laxity in qualifying voters during that elflVtion, as well as the exclusion of the Knollwood residents, McCullom Lake would this day be enjoying the benefits of incorporation. We have learned a lot during the past two years, and I am confident that when the election day dawns, the property owners of [Knollwood will march side by sidfe with the property owners of McCullom Lake Estates and cast the ballot that will mark a new era in the history of McCullom Lake, fin era of unity and progress. AS the great Emancipator once said "United we divided we fall" Adios! , ' Paul (Yardstick) Struck X 4-: Property owner at Mc- " Cullom L&k«> the future garden spot of America, The Public Pulae . ^ Plaindealer . L' McHenry, 111. Last week in this column, appeared an article by Mrs. Marie McKim, of Caulfield, Mo., warning "the residents to vote against incorporation of JlcCuIlom Lake a3 a village. As former president of the McCullom Lake Community club and present first officer of the Cullom Knoll association, I take exception to her presentation of facts, as related to our subdivision. Mrs. McKim did not contribute to the financial support of either of these organizations and was not enrolled as a member. Therefore, any statements of facts by her should be regarded as second f o r PIANOS or ORGANS See "ikB largest add finest selection in the Fox Valley • ' hand information. Her knowledge of the affairs and solution of same are confused to say the least. The danc4 she mentioned was sponsored by the Property Owners association. It was held at the Bridge tavern and not the roller rink. The proceeds of this dance was for the improvement of the beach and to take care of expenses of the club. The blacktop road she speaks of, was another project, handled separately a few years later. She was not a donor to this blacktop road project and should speak softly. The school bus she speaks about was secured through the efforts of two of McCullom Lake's old timers, who secured this service through a legal technicality, with the cooperation of the then district attorney, Mr. Carroll, and the county superintendent of schools at Woodstock. This bus service was not handed to us through any ones generosity. Mrs. McKim did not contribute either financially or otherwise in helping to secure the blacktop on Greenwood road. We never found Mrs. McKim in the ranks of those people who fought for our lake rights in the early days. We did, however, find her talking against the best interests of the people of this community, in that controversy. While she is now giving advice to the people of McCullom Lake in regards to incorporation, it would be well for her to reexamine her foreign policy, as she is now a foreigner, as far as we are concerned. Could It be possible tljat the town of Caulfield is aii incorporated village and she has to pay her share the upkeep? trwF. W.
