FIFTY YEARS AGO Taken From Files of Aug. 12, 1909 Miss Kate Heimer is showing her friends a beautiful new dark oak Purcell piano which she won by solving one of the puzzles that the piano company has been publishing in the metropolitan papers of late. The selling price of the piano is $325. Miss Heimer's friends are congratulataing her upon her good luck. From the files of the Plaindealer of a quarter of a century comes the following item: William Watts, w h o lives above Johnsburg, did some big blackbird shooting last week. He used a double barreled shotgun and his first shot was with both barrels, killing seventeen birds. His .second shot was also with both barrels, killing thirty-one birds. But his last shot beat them all. With ony one barrel he killed fiftyseven birds. That made 105 birds in three shots. Who can beat it? The McHenry public school will open this year on the thirtieth- day of August. Teachers for the coming year are as follows: W. F. Rice, principal; Agnes Perry, assistant principal; Mary Knox, fourth room,' seventh and eighth grades; Myrtle Wattles, third room, fifth and sixth grades; Clara Stoffel. second room, third and fourth grades; Mrs. Marian Overton, primary room, first and second grades; Pearl Claxton, assissant; Alina Roggeveen. music supervisor. Ground has been broken for the handsome new cement block business house that is to be erected by N. J. Justen just west of his furniture store on the West Side. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Cravens of Spirit Lake, la., were near Alexandia. Ind., when their automobile was hit by a flyer last Thursday. Mr. Cravens was the son of Dr. Cravens, a former McHenry physician, and the couple, who were taking an automobile tour, were . . . « . . . . . . j . . ^ .i.n. »d * i Although 3D pt er cent of all and an abscess on the top of j the automobile accidents in ;fj;his head. The - abscess was (glanced a couple of weeks ago U«and the baby seems to be combing along fine now. .. Jerry Ryan suffered from a '-""Virus for two days, but he is all right now. This and That Illinois last year occurred in urban areas, less than a-third of the traffic deaths occurred there. On the other hand, while only 20 per cent of the accidents happende in Rural areas, 67.4 per cent, or over twothirds, of the deaths occurred there. enroute to McHenry when- the accident occurred. ' ^ FORTY YEARS/AGO Taken .From Flies Of AU*. 7, 1010 All of McHenry's former buffets are again open and'are now conducted as soft drink parlors. Among the latest to reopen their .places of business are Theo. Schiessle and Henry Heimer. The Chicago passenger, which leaves this station at 8:30 a.m., was made up of ten coaches and carried 495 passengers on Monday .morning of this week, which once more evidences the growing popularity of the summer resort regions to be reached from this branch oif the C. & N. W. tailway. Miss Ellen Walsh left Wednesday morning for Springfield, where she is attending a two weeks' course at the school of domestic science, whteh is being conducted in connection with the state fair. Each county in the state is entitled to a representative at this school and that this honor should be c o n f e r r e d on M i s s W a l s h speaks very well for her. Another much needed rain fell on Monday night and Tuesday morning, which caused the neighbors to smile once more. While the rain came a trifle late for most of the crops, corn was greatly benefited thereby. Harris Zimmerman, engaged in the junk business while a local resident but operator of a grocery store since moving to Maywood, passed away at his home last week. From Ostend comes news that last week's rai% was a great blessing to all- growing things but a disappointment to those all cooked uj*%for the threshing men. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken From the Files of Aug. 9, 1984 The barn on the Ben Justen farm at Ladd's Corners, north of Ringwood. burned to the ground early Sunday morning, causing an approximate loss of $3,000. The McHenry Country club dance was held Wednesday night at the Fox pavilion. Music for dancing was furnished by Lowell Nye's eight-piece orchestra composed of local young men. Sonny Johnson, Vale Adams and -Gordon "Dedo" Granger went to Hinsdale Tuesday to play in the qualifying round of the. -Western Junior Golf championship. Though none of the boys qualified, they got some priceless experience. Mrs. Catherine Young and members of her family held a reunion at the George Young home" at Ringwood Sunday. Folks were present from Harvard, Arlington Heights, Elgin, Waukegan and McHenry. Elizabeth' Weitl, 9-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Weitl, who reside on the Fellows farm, west Of McHenry, was shot and seriously wounded Friday afternoon when a rifle in the hands of Thomas Cujes, a visitor at the farm,, accidentally exploded. . Joe May is building an ^addition onto his garage on John street and he and his wife plan to move there about Sept. 1. The annual carnival-picnic and dinner dates have been announced by St. Mary's church, McHenry, being Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11 and 12. There will be various forms of entertainment and a chicken dinner will be served at noon for fifty cents. Traffic fatalities on county and local roads showed more than 15 per cent increase in 1958. Traffic deaths in rural incorporated areas below 2,500 population increased over 14 per cent. EDITORIAL THE LITTERBUG PROBLEM Litter on a lake or river can puncture the hull of a boat travelling at high speed or damage a rudder or propeller. Such accidents may be fatal. Alarmed at the havoc being wreaked by litterbugs on their favorite beaches, streams and waterways, conservati o n i s t s and sportsmen in many sections of the country have taken it upon themselves to clean up such eyesores. The Phoenix Sportsman's association, for example, held a special "clean-up day" at several different lakes and trout streams in Arizona with such good results that the , Arizona Game Protective association has adopted the idea as a state-wide project. The Sierra club'.of California annually recruits thirty volunteers for a "Conservation and Clean-Up Work Party Outing". And there are many other such examfMes. Soliit\pn to the overall litter problem' however, does not lie with conservation and sportsmen's groups alone. Every citizen, young or old, has a stake in the beauty and cleanliness of his country, and a corresponding- responsibility to help keep it that way. If people could be persuaded to refrain from littering in the first place, there would be no need for the tedious and often costly cleanup job. But why has litter become a national problem of such gigantic proportions? There are four logically casual factors -- more people, higher income per capita, more leis(&e and more mobility. Perhaps the simplest way t^put it is to say that too many people when away from home take a vacation from responsibility as well as from their jobs. Statistics on outdoor resources compiled by Resources for the Future, Inc., indicate the following interesting developments. Comparing 19c55 with 1925, tennis courts have d o u b l e d , s o f t b a l l d i a m o n d s have increased more than nine times, ice skating areas have more than doubled, swimming pools have quadrupled, golf courses and bathing beaches have trebled. The Outboard Boating Club of America says that the number of recreational craft in use has risen from 15,000 at the turn of the century to 7,330,000 in 1958. These statistics mean increased recreational facilities for an ever increasing number of people with, of course, a proportionate increase in the litter potential. Keep A m e r i c a B e a u t i f u l , Inc., offers the following suggestions for promoting good a litterbag or othter container in your car or boat for traveltrash; Never throw evetn a single piecie of litter or trash out -the car window or overboard; Never leave a messy camp or picnic site; Always dispose of trash in a proper receptacle; Set a good exd^kple f o r c h i l d r e n -- h a b i t s a r e formed early. So how about it? Next time you're tempted to toss a wrapper from a candy or ice cream bar, a cigarette pack or the remnants of your picnic lunch, don't! Remember, it just might cost you your fishing license, a stiff fine or a nasty accu|ent. Hold that trash for the Tnext litter receptacle -- and help keep America Beautiful! To^ remove shine from a serg^suit, try this. Dampen a sponge or cloth slightly and sponge the shiny parts quite thoroughly. While the fabric is still damp, go over it gently with fine steel wool (Note: Fine steel wool). With jtfiis, stroke; the fabric, covering about, six inches of the suit with each stroke. Results will usually amaze you, give new outdoor manners: Always carry life to an old suit. Jos B We Have SATURDAY Delivery! !
