SBfij Thursday, September 22, I960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Wonder Lake Governor. Wife Land By 'Copter •f*ne Ducey ™eor^e Gutzman and Charles Miller were chairmen of the welcoming committee which met the helicopter bringing Gov. Stratton and our first lady to Wonder Lake Tuesday. Other members of the committee were Rev. Richard Wright, Paul Jadwick, Mrs. Kenneth Grothmann and John Hiffman. About 250 people were on h^d to watch the 'copter set down on the county road in front of the Handy Pantry at mid-day. The eighth grade class from Harrison school was there to meet the Strattons; a little preview before their educational trip to Springfield next May. • The couple stayed about 20 minutes, shook hands with everyone and gave their autog'^ ph to. all. The firemen in uniform had their "picture took" with the Governor; ineluded were Firechief George, Howard Dolan, Ray Schleicher, Rudy Kreutz and John Rice. Show Down on Personal Property Tax The issue of whether you really must pay your personal p^perty tax has come to a head. The myth that if you refuse to pay you won't have to, is finally to be exploded. Two special deputies started Monday to issue distress » warrants against those in arrears in personal property tax payments. If the residents re- ( fuse to pay after the warrant has been issued, personal property will be confiscated. uncollected personal property tax figures in McHenry township look like this: from 1942 to 48, $210.74; in 1950 the figure had jumped to $1,245.51; and in 1958 there was $62,672.- 41 delinquent. Total for the township since 1942 is $185,- 125.69 outstanding. Training; Center in Operation ^he training center for retarded children had a successful opening day Monday, with everything working out according to plan. The class Is the realization of an aspiration held by the parent group since the.v organized two years ago. Harrison school has made available an unused blackboard which will shortly be mounted on the wall at the Bible church fi#u«& by-the- training center. The classroom has need for volunteers 1o serve as aides to the two instructors. Any Wonder Laker who can donate a day now and then would be welcomed. are Mrs. R. Sullivan, Mrs. E. Ottoson and Mrs. N. Elbersen. Roll call was answered to the "Source of my Drinking Water". Each member gave a short report covering these things: when water was last tested in their own wells, and how water affects cooking utensils (color and flavor). Mrs. Arthur Hoppe and Mrs. Ed Muchow who have very deep wells were surprised to learn thaj when their well water was tested it had the same analysis as Lake Superior water. ^ Mrs. A. Nagel gave the lesson, "Danger in Your Drinking. Water'j. The members learned that an average family 6f four uses about 200 gal. of water a day. A breakdown looks, like this: 17 gal. per automatic clothes washer, 30 to 60 gal. per shower, 5 gal. each flush of the toilet. Experts warn that unless we stop the reckless practice of pouring filth into rivers and streams we won't have enough clean water for our needs. Synthetic detergents used in the home are new cohlaminents, finding their way from sewer and septic tank into the water supply which causes the water to taste oily or fishy. The conclusion reached was to check your water supply, since water is the key to survival. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the house you live in all depend on a supply of clean fresh water. A thank you was received from Mr&. Fisher for entering the Crystal Lake Garden club show. Thp Wonder Lake club has a number of national flower garden calendars for 1961 which can be had for a small donation. Refreshments were served. Weretka s to Move to Arizona When Mrs. Tony Weretka moves to Arizona in October, the Wonder Lake unit of the Memorial Hospital auxiliary will be losing one of its most faithful members.

Fuhrer made aprons Thursday afternoon. Others attending made soft monkeys to be sold at the hospital shop. They were the mesdames Harold Wohnrade, Betty Fiala, Ted Eltoft, Myrtle Davidson, Ed Dornbush, and Don Swanson. Thtfrertay tilgftt 'MMCTtolnrer entertained the hospital card group.

Standards considered conservative and used throughout the U. S. by many, sound a note of caution when the count runs above 1,000 per 100 cc., according to Kirby Walker. Results are merely estimates and will vary from time to tJ0e. North and South beaches were 210, low and very encouraging. Center beach was 1,100, a trifle high but satisfactory.

PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the. public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or less and that all letters have signature, full address and phone number. We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable taste.) THEATRE BEDLAM To All Moral-Minded Parents : The cau$e of this letter being written is the fact th^t my three children and I just returned home from the McHenry. theatre. Friday night seems like an | ideal time to take the children to the show as there is no school the next day. However,! parents should not expect the| show to be a baby sitter as so many of you do. j The conduct of unescorted children in the show is atrocious. Teen-agers use the show as a necking place. Younger, children act like wild Indians, j going up and down the aisles and between the seats andi i talking yo loud no one can j j hear the show. I j Mr. Consago and his able t | staff should not be expected; to take care of the things you parents should be doing. Toj night he had to stop the show I and threaten to close if things i didn't quiet down. The situaj tion was d?p Arable and adds • to McHenry itself getting a bad name. | It's time we parents knuckle j down and instruct our children how to behave in a public place. Do we honestly want the show closed because of our children? I think not. Let's get back td the old rule of parents leading their children instead of the children "ruling the roost". I would like to commend Mr. Consago for his handling of this situation and hope for everyone's sake it needn't happen again. Mrs. John Weichmann CARE FOR AGED Gov. William G. Stratton has announced that he will recommend Illinois law be liberalized for this state to participate in the new Medical Care for the Aged program being set up by the federal government. Gov. Stratton said: "I will plan law and budget changes so that Illinois citizens can participate in the federal plan, and will recommend to the General Assembly that the state match federal funds and broaden the eligibility laws for those elderly persons who need medical care but are not now covered." The governor has asked the Illinois Public Aid Commission to study the new federal law and determine; what changes are necessary in the Illinois law.
