The proximity of children playing in the area to the bullets whizzing by, has avoided tragedy by a hair's breath. Those in charge are hoping the dangerous practice ceases before one of our young ones becomes a statistic! Spearing or des^ troying carp is a help but shooting same is illegal!

GARDEN CLUB HEARS TALK OF VIVIAN RANKIN by Marie Schaettgen - The April meeting of the McHenry Garden Club was one of unusual interest to the fifty or more members and guests who attended. In the absence of Mrs. Dietle, Mrs. Arvidson, vice-president, greeted ' the guests and introduced the speaker, Mrs. Vivian Rankin. A new member, Mrs. Duncan, was welcomed into the club. Chairman for the day was Mrs. Vaughn Jones. With her on the committee were Mrs. Edward Sullivan and Mrs. Erik Braenne. Mrs. John Neuharth presided at the tea table. Mrs. Rankin, a ^member of the Illinois State Conservation department, spoke of the work now in progress on the Fox river and of the future plans for the river and adjacent lakes and parks. The Chain 'O Lakes region is widely known as a fine recreational and residential area at present and will become increasingly so as the plans of the Conservation department go forward. A film showing the many beautiful state parks was shown. Another film of unusual interest to those of us who live in this area was one of the Fox river from its source to its mouth at Ottawa. The film included the opening of the locks at McHenry, with Gov Stratton and local officials participating in the ceremony. The plans for the Fox are exciting. They include deepening and widening of the river and building of locks the entire length of the river to where it joins the Illinois river at Ottawa. Mrs. Rankin explained that funds for this project are derived largely from the sale of fishing licenses and from a proportionate share of a federal tax levied on the sale of all sports fishing equipment. There is a bill pending in the LOOKING FOR A HOME? ^ - Come to Ponca & Logan sts. & see our mode' home in Cooney Heights Subd., McHenry, II Open Every Sunday Afternoon -- Weekdays call . .
