Larry Silva pf Wonder Lake presented the charter. It may seem like rushing the season a bit, even to mention Christmas on a warm July day such as this--but it really isn't. At least, not in the way we've been thinking about it. We believe there's no time like the present to keep your 1955 Christmas card in mind -- right now when you're probably all set to snap pictures of the places and people you visit on summer weekends or longer vacation trips. Some people prefer to send a picture of the family, the children or a pet as their Christmas greeting. Others like to choose a special scenic view or historical spot to carry their holiday message. Whatever the subject, whatever the scene--your o summer snapshooting can provide countless opportunities for catching that "picture-perfect" shot you'll be pleased to send out as your card next Christmas. The family enjoying the pleasures of outdoor living and leisuretime activities should prove happy subjects for your camera. There'll be the children at play with their pets--newforund ones as well as their own familiar favorites. A robin or a bright red cardinal on a tree bough may be your source of picture-inspiration. On your vacation trips, you'll undoubtedly come across historic old houses and churches that you'll want to visit. Perhaps a picturesque' steeple, a stainedglass window, a Gothic spire, a sculptured portal, a close-up of mission bells or a famous church organ will best express your own personal message of "peace (on earth, -good will to men."' --John Van Guilder SHOP AT HOME and SAVE MORE!

Less sensational is the news that reports i,v twenty-six states, summarized by the* U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, showed that drivers traveled on main rural highways in I9.r)i at an average speed of 49.7 miles an hour. Some further aspects of the study are helpful in showing how much speed has increased. Since the end of the war ivers have increased their average speed by about 14 per cent. The average speed in 1954 in central and western states, at r,1.9 was 12 p£r cent higher than the 46.3 in eastern states. Studies made in three states bordering Illinois showed that their average 1 pfj 1 speed was 52 miles an hour. If only passenger car speed is considered,, the. average for the three bordering states is 53.2. Illinois speeds are being studied this year and will probably be close to these figures. At the end of the war, about 6 per cent of drivers were traveling faster than 60 miles an hour but in 1954, 16 per cent were It Pays to Advertise In The McHenry Plaindealei 132 So.

There is ro6m for belief that prevailing speeds are too high and on this basis a progra'm of intensified enforcement and publicity is being conducted' on a national scale from May 27 through Labor Day to encourage curtailment of speed.

In Illinois, signs 'bearing this message will stand for the duration of the program, where all main highways enter the state. This type of program was introduced into eleven northeastern states in 195& and was extended to cover twenty-four states in 1954. The claim is made that it saved 600 lives and achieved the first reported broad reduction in total traffic accidents since the war. If results of this order are realized on a national scale this year, it will be a notable achievement. Lend Uncle Sam Your Dollars You don't need to worry on your vacation!

Anderson A PLACE OF PERMANENT ABOVE GROUND A Community Mausoleum For The Woodland Cemetery McHenry Illinois The Mausoleum Final arrangements have been completed with the McHenry Cemetery Board for the construction of a Community Mausoleum in this city. The building will be as fine as money, art and science can build. The exterior walls and doors will be of time-defying Bedford Stone, the inner walls of hardest reinforced concrete and the interior will be finished in stone and marble. All metal work will be of copper and bronze. Since the first mausoleum was built in '353 B. C., which still exists, for King Mausolus (from whence we get the word mausoleum) such improvement ip building materials has been made that a double walled structure such as this is almost indestructible. It is of such strength that after a few hundred years,-when present cemeteries are obscure and present grave markers arc lost, leaning or fallen, this building will stand out little if any the worse for the time it has stood, as stone becomes harder with time. Progressiveness A growing demand for the Community Mausoleum is shown by the fact that so many such structures have been and are being built. While this particular section of the country has a few at the present time, in many sections of the United States they are predominant. In the past the excessive cost has made this type of buriel oui of reach of the average man, but now it is actually cheaper than the average ground burial. Our Duty To The Living Since the beginning of time it has been man's custom to reverence his dead, and it becomes a comforting thought in any age to know that one has done all possible and has given his loved one the most suitable resting place which the present time has to offer. This 'building provides a place where families may lie side by side In snow-white compartments, high and dry above the ground, where neither water, dampness nor cold can enter. Embalming has reached such a high state of perfection that if a body is kept dry it will retain its present condition for centuries to come. This was true in Egyptian burials because they buried where water and dampness was npn-existent; however, water or moisture quickly nullifies all of this. To make provisions for a final resting place, which will be secure, ready, and one which cannot be molested, is not only a duty owed to our dead but is evidence to the living of our desire for their well being both now and for always. To put off arrangements until the time, arrives is no better business than omitting other business transactions until the last moment. In the case of death the grief is so great and decisions so numerous that many regrettable and unchangeable mistakes are made. There Is A" Better Wa-y From time immemorial it has been customary'"in Europe for families to select a final resting place for their .members in advance of actual needs. This sensible practice has now become the custom in America among thinking men and women. Death is no respector of person or persons, and sooner or later every family must face bereavement. The average death follows a period of heavy expenses, often accompanied by loss of income. The insurance that was intended for the care of the loved ones or the education of the children is depleted and the family left in debt. * . 0 A final resting place must be selected within a limited time, regardless of finances, weather, mental anguish or personal inconvenience. Frequently the choice has necessarily been left to a disinterested outsider and too often have such hasty arrangements been the cause of everlasting regrets. It, is often true that these sad but absolutely necessary arrangements are hampered by lack of adequate funds or lack of time and mental poise for the exercise of one's best judgement. We consign the mortal remains to a shallow earthly grave over which we have scant control at •present and probably none in the future. A drive through a cemetery which is no longer in use will show how quickly earthly burial is blotted out, the grave and. stone obliterated. Only when the mind is undisturfced .by grief or financial uncertainty can this important duty be disposed of calmly and intelligently. Every family deserves the protecUon which the ownership of mausoleum space offers. . Reasons Why You Should Secure Space r- Because: The same business judgement demands it, that prompts you to save money, to carry life insurance and to make your will. Now, in the calm of health, you can consider and choose that which you think is best, an almost impossibility when a death occurs and the family's mind and judgement is racked with despair. Because: Mausoleum entombment is a scientific and civilized, as well as a sentimental mode of caring for the dead. The only way to keep a body perfectly preserved after it has been embalmed is fcy keeping moisture and dampness away from it. Because: At present the.cost is no more and in most cases not as much as ground burial when a lot, monument, steel vault and other cemetery expenses are considered. The building is the monument, far surpassing in size and beauty any other form of monument or memorial. Owners have free use of the interior of the chapel for funeral services, thereby avoiding rain, cold and snow. Because: Thit mode of entombment is both reasonable and scriptural. Our Lord was laid in a rock-hewn crypt and early Christians followed this custom. The wealthier classes of people have used this type of burial almost exclusively for many centuries and most of our national heroes have been buried in stone tombs or mausoleums--some of which include Grant, Lincoln, Garfield, Washington and McKinley. Modern mausoleums now make this type of burial in reach of almost everyone. Because: When you place the familiar form of any of your loved ones in this memorial, it will be a great comfort' to know that they are at rest in a clean, dry place, free from the disagreeable features of ground burial. Because: Preparation is wisdom s cure for worry- the only cure. Insuring the house does not prepare it to burn, but prepares us to live without worry as to the ever-present possibility of it burning. Providing for mausoleum protection is not preparing to die; it is preparation to live without worry as to the everpresent possibility of loved ones dying and being placed in damp, cold graves. Because: It is an investment. It cannot be damaged,or destroyed and will be worth more in later years than it is now. Due to the fact that when a Community JMausoleum is built in a town this size, all space is contracted for before it is built, therefore space is limited to those who have bought, and cannot be used except by those, unless one of the owners desires to sell his or her interests. The Inevitable--For Which We Should Prepare If you desire to be prepared and assure yourself and family a permanent and clean resting place, you should inquire for particulars about the mausoleum to be erected in your city. The cost now is in most cases not as much as ground burial when all expenses are considered. Reservations should be made early because the amount of space is limited. In the event of d^ath between the time of securing space and the completion of the mausoleum, the expense of renting a receiving vault will be borne by the companv. In the event anyone has relatives already buried in the ground and desires them space, arrangements can be made for the transfer. Where Will You Place Your Loved Ones? You have the choice of only three modes of burial--ground burial, which means a cold, black, damp grave: cremation, in which fire blots out name, form and memory; burial in a mausoleum with Its dry, snow-white compartments of stone and marble. Which shall it be ? Eventually you must decide. This project is being financed and supervised by Ralph M. Brock of 1229 N. State Road, Arlington Heights, Illinois. Anyone desiring information, photographs, etc., please contact either Mr. Brock or Dr. J. E. Wheeler, 208 Main Street, McHenry, Illinois, Phone 259-W, who is the local representative foF the Community Mausoleum.
