Hackneyed as it may be, it is so true of our feeling for the very warm a c k n o w l e d g e m e n t o f s e r v i c e which <• in our case provided only pleasure. It was with real pleasure that a letter came to our attention last Saturday, written by Mrs. Edwin L. Kessler, Sr., of suburban Roseland, 15 miles south of Chicago, expressing a wish, that she and her 95-yearold father might be able to attend the anniversary pageant and recall old times. Her father is Alfred Revor, who was born in McHenry in 1866, thirty years after the community was settled, and whose brother, James Revor, was local chief of police. Mrs. Kessler said her father speaks so much about McHenry. His mind is keen and he greatly enjoys recalling former days in this community. Mr. Revor is a very unusual man for his age. Recently he entertained at a reception held in celebration of the golden wedding anniversary of the Kesslers. He is adept at playing the "bones" and amazed the 175 relatives and friends at the reception with his talent. Mrs. John R. Justen spent two days the last of the week in the home of her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Ekholm, in Elgin, while the latter attended a concert in Champaign. Their daughter, Susan Ekholm, was concertmistress of the summer music camp orchestra.

The week of July 9 through 16 is one McHenry residents and hundreds of visitors will not soon forget, with its variety of activities designed to recall with pride the long history iof the community, and at the same time provide a week of relaxation and entertainment for events.

In some cases, animals have, suffered ill effects, and parents of small children are fearful that a youngster might pick it up while at play.

He exchanged greetings with the Indians, led by the chief, only partly in view, whose part was taken by George Mrachek. Other members of the group set up their teepees and participated other work customary in the early days. The Indiaiis participated in a snake dance typical of the period, and the young white settlers took part in a square dance. *jnoio oy Kotalik Otto Pyritz takes the part of the absent-minded professor of school legend as he conducts his class in McHenry's first public school, located in the north end of Brown's log cabin tavern in 1840.

CLEAN STREAMS COMMITTEE HOLDS BRIEF MEETING Because of other activities in progress this week, the meeting of the McHenry County Clean Streams Committee on Tuesday evening was brief. An article was read concerning pollution of streams, written by a former resident who now resides in Los Angeles. It read, in part, "I live where streams and rivers are dry beds except when flash floods occasionally rip down a land of dry sand and desert, except where irrigated. A few months of that and you would appreciate your rivers and streams and do something about pollution". Members believe this should make one think and try to help preserve what we are so fortunate to enjoy. GRANT BENEFITS CLINIC The Mental Health Center of McHenry County, located on Waukegan road. McHenry, is listed to receive $42,000 among state grants amounting to $1,- "198.200 for community mental health clinics and other special mental health services.

For this reason it was a special pleasure to h a v e R o i l y L a s c e l l e s f r o m Honduras, South America, at (he last meeting. He was the first visitor from that country ever > to. come to McHenry Rotary and his interesting and affable comments gave a notable lift to the program as he told much about Honduras and its major product, bananas. The McHenry club presented to him for his home club a new banner, -- "a work of art" which members predict will be a conversation piece for all who receive it.

GASOLINE EXPLOSION Members of Company I of the McHenry Township Fire Protection District were called to the Ed. Prather home at 906 S. Totem Trail, Oakhurst, at 8:04 Sunday evening following the explosion of gasoline in the basement. No damage occurred. Ignorance seems to be the threshold to the door of knowledge. Nature can cure most any cold in 5 or 6 days -- with help of doctors, perhaps in two weeks. A divorce trial is too often a blow-by-blow account of one of Cupid's mistakes. Modern gals may or may not make good mothers, but thty very often make poor fathers. L HEN1Y PI OPTOMETHIST At 1224 N.
