THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "Serving The Chain-O-Lakes Region Since 1875" Volume 85 -- No. 50 -- 3 Sections McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY. APRIL 14, 1960 20 Pages -- 10c Per Copy liiiiipr Mcaniieri^ The 1960 primaries are only a memory, but the real contests are just beginning. One of the big incisions, now thA each party has chosen THE IR men, is selecting catchy slogans to put them over with the public. Suggestions we have heard include "I'll Stick With Dick", "My Cup of Tea is Kennedy" and "What's Good for the Country is Hubert Humphrey". Just to set the records straight, the recent slogans, ciotpr as some of them have bero, are really not new at all. Slogans have been making their bids for votes from as early as 1840, when a political party promised the voter "Two Dollars a Day and Roast Beef". Since then the slogan has be- j come as much a part of presi- I dential election campaigns as tlie handshake and the stump. Some of these carefully selk0L> d phrases haven't been ; too successful, as history relates. For instance, Horace Greeley thundered, "Turn the Rascals Out" in 1872, but Grant held the presidency for another term. \ : The country wasn't ready-jfor the "Plumed Knight", Las i James G. Blaine was called in 1876, and the election went to ' Rugfierford B. Hayes. William McKinley promised "the Full Dinner Pail" in 1900, setling a precedent for Hoover's later pledge of "A Chicken in every Pot, a Car in every Garage". i With the price of ciiieken today, and almost every garage with at least one car. t h e p o l i t i c a l b i g w i g s a r e gehig to have to do better tffls year. Might we suggest --" A T-bone steak, a fancy boat, all these I promise for your vote". A notable honor has come to a young McHenry youth, Bobby Nowieki, son of Cornelius Nowicki of Rt. 6.

Ii was interesting, but not surprising, to learn that in Illinois March, 1960. was the coldest month in history, averaging 11.1 degrees per day colder (40 per cent) than last ye.'r and 1.8 degrees per day colder than this past January. * The weatherman attempted to even up the score, however, by0ending unseasenal warmth in December and January. Most of the talk we've heard has been about March, and with spring having made its entrance the twentieth, it's pretty hard to remember anything nice about the warmth of the holiday season. It's been a big week for apparel shops --or if not. someth ®g has happened to the innate love of "dressing up" by milady. With Easter only a few days off. thoughts turn to what living Berlin so happily wrote of, "The Easter Parade". It was a different story in the early days, and clothing manufacturers must have experienced great joy when the world began to dress up for a joUiil parade. In fact, it was bffleved to havp been an earlyadvertising executive with ah eve for business who coined the English rhyme. "At Easter let your clothes be new. or else be sure you will it rue!" We've heard better poemS, but the message went across - - acioss miles and miles to ex- NAME PRIMARY WINNERS McClory Makes Successful Bid For G.0. P.

Results One of the most exciting races of the 'entire primaiy for county residents, and especially for voters residing in McHenry and Richmond, was the contest for county coroner. -AAlthough Dr. John C. Goetschel jeceived good support in the nine McHepry precincts in his first campaign, the countywide vote elected Tfceron J, Ehorn, whose father was also coroner for many years.

In addition, a person is subject to the same fine, or may be imprisoned, for wilfully setting fire to property not his own. or for permitting any fire to pass from his own land, causing injury or destruction of the property of another person. The same fine also has been set for any person who negligently or carelessly causes a fire by means of a lighted match, cigarette, etc.. which damages property not his own. or starts a fire on land not his own or on any public highway In the state and leaves the fire unextinguished.
