ALBERT PURVEY RECOGNIZED FOR SERVICE TO CLUB (Continued from Page 1) car Dahl, Joe Frett (lifted to the "mike" by Joe Gausden), Dick Hester and Henry Jackson soon formed. Mrs. Richard (Yvonne) Matt very ably and pleasantly narrated the history of McHenry •Country Club. A portion of the review is as follows: "The McHenry Country Club deserves all the praise it receives, and especially that complimenting the beautiful fairways and splendid greens, which are undoubtedly some of the finest in the country. Much time, effort, skill and patience is needed to produce such fine results, and we point w-ith pride to Albert Purvey and his assistants, who have worked faithfully and diligently for a number of years to make the club Vine of the best found anywhere." This is a quote taken from the McHenry Plaindealer in 1947. Let's ^o back a moment ;md see just how this whole thing was started. . . During the year 1921. sixty acres of land was purchased from Stenger Owen and Allen for the beginning of McHenry Country Club. Members of the board were H. H. King. Richard B. Walsh, C. W. Stenger. Ben Stilling, A. H. Hannifer, W. F. Vogt, and Attorney Al- , ford Pouse. Harry King was The crash occurred at **:40 ; elected president: Mr. Walsh, in the afternoon when an auto Vice-President; Attv. Pouse, driven by Joseph Klecka of M . Schmitt. as- Crystal Lake pulled out of thc I . , . factory driveway in front of the Schmitt auto. Klecka was uninjured in the crash which followed. Mrs. Schmitt was taken to Memorial hospital for treatment. Both cars were damaged. An Elgin man, William Paull. was blamed by authorities for an accident which occurred Sunday on Rt. 120, near McHenry. £aul was driving on the highway and was reported t?> sistant secretary: and C. W. Go'Hlell presided as treasurer. Under the direction of Mr. King, plans were drawn, and by the Fall of 1921, the ground was prepared and seeded. Ben Stilling supervising the removal of all fences, stones, ;;nd other obstructions was getting the course in shai>e. Mr. Stenger and Mr. Stilling began looking for a greenskeeper and asked Mr. Albert Purvey >.vho was at the Woodstork course to take over. He accepted and on June 1. 1922, j Paulist Fathers was a close second with 164. Carl Stenger, who is now known as the Father of Golf/ gathered his henchmen to consider putting in another 9 holes. The receptiveness of members and guests was overwhelming. By this time, people knowthat All Purvey has something. He received high praise and produced excellent greens *and fairways. In order to make the game one of skill and more interesting. traps and hazards were completed. Rustic bridges over the creeks were added, and there- was money ahead. The course was developing from sand tees to grass. In 1925, a new grass of pure strain made its appearance --- creeping bent. Al began experimenting with it, and eventually all of the 18 holes were seeded. On July 31, 1926, 50 acres -it $525 per acre was purchased from Jacob Just en for completing the course from 9 to 18 hole:;. Chester Goodman was the pat roller at night to prevent vandalism. , By April 15. 1935, a new tractor was purchased to replace "Old Dobbin'". Harry Morris, the Pro, was still with the club. A1 Purvey was still working hard keeping the course in top shape with the aid of latest equipment and by attending greenskeeper meetings in Chicago for the benefit of the course. The years passed by. and the course prospered so that in 1954 a new club house was built by Tonyan Construction Co. A beautiful building, modern in all respects, and a source of real pride to all members. Al, you have done well. A course unsurpassed." Congratulatory letters were read from Frank Low, President of the McHenry Chamber of Commerce/ and Alford H. Poi^se. Thomas P. Bolger, Past President and one of the honored guest's close friends, reminisced in great style. Then Hold Benefit . For Hospital George P. Freund, president of the board of directors and ; building fund chairman of McHenry hospital, announced that Ann Varese, well known entertainer, is chairman of a $25- a-plate dinner to be held on Nov. 25 at the Villa d'Este in Cary. Proceeds of the dinner will be used to build a portico at the entrance to the hospital to protect visitors and patients from inclement weather when entering the building. The portico will also enhance the appearance of the structure and will enable people unfamiliar with the hospital to find the entrance more easily. Mid Freund stated that he felt the committee was fortunate in having Ann Varese head the project. She was in charge of the extremely successful initial benefit at which $10,000 was raised to start McHenry hospital. Mrs. Varese has promised outstanding entertainment for this dinner and is confidant that Ihe guests will be as well pleased as they were at the first fund raising affair.

The average value of land and buildings per farm was $75,534 or $392.30 per acre. These are only a few of the statistics included in the census, but are enough, to convince the reader that agriculture remains a big and important business in McHenry county. K. A.F. This first test was mainly more were classified as com to test the efficiency of the established plan in regard to fire, police warden service and communications. Future exercises will be expanded fo include medical and health services and school evacuation. The next alert is expected to cover a longer period of time and may take place as soon as late November. In only, one area of test was the alert found to be lacking, and those in charge feel lhat they have profited through the exercise. It was found that communications between cars and the base station at the firehouse was not successful for as great a distance as they had hoped, and action will be taken to remedy this in the future. Praise For Ail Director Shay had praise for all who took part in the alert, including state and city police, firemen, wardens and communications men. Mayor Doherty and Chief Joseph Grobel continued to i ide through the city to get an over-all picture of the exercise; Superintendent of Streets Fred Meyer drove the public address car, with Jerry Kalk giving instructions and in the communications car were Phil Doherty and John Shay. Plans are being made to have a representative of another city's civil defense program come to McHenry to check the effectiveness of the next alert.
