TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of April 26, 1934 McHenry was in the path of one of the worst dust storms in years, which swept out of the northwest Monday. The tiny dust particles, practically invisible in themselves, dimmed the sun, making the atmosphere appear hazy and gave the sky a reddish tinge. The dust settled into hollows like drifted snow and motorists driving from the west, on Tuesday, reported they were forced to drive with their lights on all day. Joseph B. McDonough, 45, treasurer of Cook county and a leader in Democratic party circles, died early Wednesday of pneumonia.

Phone 3914 Village ol Sunnyside Hawaiian Party Plans Completed Irma Gunther--1577-J Aloha to all lei wearers, and coconut growers. The islands of Hawaii are being brought to our village by the social club, which is no little task considering that half of the trip will be over dry land, but if it means a good time for the faithful few, it will be done. A village wide search for a Hawaiian interpreter has finally turned up a native islander, she anwers to the name of Hula Hula Hips. She was disqovered walking down one of our boardwalks, and although she wasn't wearing her native costume, it was easy to see that when she put it on^the language barrier would be broken. To enable the local folks to carry on a conversation with Miss Hula Hula Hips she has given me a few of the basic words, they are listed in order of their importance Moona Baloona, Bingo Bango Bungo, Nonooki Cooki, and Nosoapi Dopei. I'm not going to translate these beautiful words, because' as in all foreign languages, it loses something in the translation. The words seem to be used in frustrating frequency by our fair lass is Nosoapi Dopei, Curses. See you at George and Sue's Bamboo Hut the night of May 23.

I guess most of you know that we have been charging one dollar a head, for each one who comes, the money is used for the food and refreshments and the money left over is what we use for the different affairs we have for the children.

The four horsemen among the communicable diseases of childhood are measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria. At least, they used to be the most dangerous. Thanks to medical science and new drugs, however, most of their sting is gone. The death rate among children from these four diseases declined 99 percent between 1910 and 1956.
