These school dances are extra well chaperoned and I see nothing wrong with you attending them. Exciting History Puts McHenry Within Boundaries Of Illinois Most of us take little time to consider the history -- rather exciting at times -- which is responsible for the place we call home. For instance, it was news to us to learn this week that it was a bit of fate which changed the northern l>oundary of Illinois in 1818 and placed McHenry in Illinois rather than Wisconsin. or interest, too, is the fact that the population center of the United States, based on the 1960 census, is located in Clinton county. The state's population figifre of 10,081,158 is 80.7 per cent urban, 19.3 pet- cent rural, And ranks twentyfourth among the states in area and tentji in population. Illinois takes its name from the Incuan woi^Illiniwek, meaning "men" -- and the most famous ot-^fnese~Was Abe Lincoln. Long ago it outgrew its nickname, the Prairie State, for today there is little to make one think of long stretches of lonely plains. It is now one of the busiest parts of the continent and without doubt one of the most important states in -the Union. Illinois has a number of distinctions. On the grim side, the U. S. Weather Bureau reports show that more people in tornadoes here than in any other state, most frequently in the southern part. On the proud side, the splitting of the atom signalling the beginning of tYle-'Atomic Age occurred in 1942, on an abandoned squash court at the University of Chicago. The state leads the world in producing tractors and achinery, and its major city, Chicago, is the world's rain and livestock market, as well as the transportation center of .the Middle West. There is no doubt but that the buzz of activity within Illinois classifies it as one of the busiest states in the nation and our own individual pace assures us that we are a definite part of it. V IllLcimA i lit farj^i machir grai 1962 Ranks Among Best Years In U.S. History For Medicine "The year 1962 should be recorded as one of the most significant in the annuals of medicine, for seldom has any one year produced as many achievements, as many major breakthroughs as reported the past twelve months." This is the view of Dr. New ton DuPuy, chairman of board of trustees for the I, nois State Medical society "Though it may be several years before their significance is fuily Realized, the 1962 breakthroughs will pave the way to a host of .dramatic achievements never before dyearned possible," Dr. DuPuy One of the most important milestones occurred ijvtjje field of human heredity, >.e pointed out, where it's believed we have uncovered the basic substance responsible for transmitting the hereditary characteristics of all living things. This substance, discovered by Nobel Prize winners Drs. F. H. C. Crick, M. H. F. Wilkins and J. D. Watson, is called DNA -- chemical shorthand for deoxrybonucleic acid. "As a result of this discovery," Dr. DuPuy said, "it is reasoned that further studies will eventually allow us to predict and control hereditary factors." Another significant develop t he discovery of a drug capable of curing herpes simplex, a vi rus disease sometime.-, causing blindness. Tremendous strides also were made in the field of medical transplants -- that is, replacing worn and diseased human parts with those of another person. Dr. DuPuy pointed out that "newly-uncovercd proof that the thymus gland is the seat of the body's defense mechanism, which usually rejects transplants, raises hopes that manipulation of the gland and its secretions may soon make successful transplant operations a common procedure." New techniques also spurred advances in other fields of surgery, he observed. For instance: Specilaists developed two methods of stimlating failing hearts. One process uses an electrical shock to make the heart continue beating, while another uses chemical stimulators -- implanted within the heart muscle -- to keep the heart beating. Significant in the field of surgery was the development of surgical means for replacing vital middle ear parts .with plastic or stainless steel. Hypothermis, cooling of th<- body, was given wider use by two ounces, mixed with fine pumice stone, eight ounces, and boiled Unseed oil, 16 ounces. To this, add enough turpentine to make four pints. Let the surface dry, and sand it smooth between coats. Q. How can I get longer life* from candles? A. Your candles will burn considerably longer if they are given a coating of shellac, which tends to retain the molten wax around the wick, Instead of its running down .the sides of the candle. Q. How can I prevent olive oil from becoming rancid? ^ A. Add two lumps of sugar to a quart Jar of the olive oil. Q. Is there any way to remove scorch states from garments? A. If the material is white cotton or linen, moistening it and exposing to direct sunlight may take out the discoloration-- provided the scorch is a light one. Unfortunately, scorch can seldom be removed from colored articles. Q. How can I make lighter biscuits? \. Add just enough liquid to make a soft dough. Then mix It lightly, and just enough to combine the flour and liquid. Any handling after that has a tendency to toughen the dough. Q. How can I test the accuracy of my bathroom scaler? A. Merely by weighing a five or ten-pound bag of flour or sugar on it. Q. How can I make sure that the leftover paint in a can will remain fresh and will not harden? A. This will not occur if the can is sealed airtight. To do this, replace the cover as tightly as you can, turn the can upside down momentarily, then rightside up again. Enough paint will flow around the edges of the cover to make it airtight, and the paint acts as a selfsealer. Q. How can I remove black scuff marks dabs of crayon, and pencil lines from a waxed floor? A. Rub with a little selfpolishing floor wax. The wax dissolves the marks and blends with the rest of the floor without leaving a bi|re spot. You can use this remover on asphalt and other tile floors, too. Q. How can I prevent the interiors of metal or brass j>lanters from rusting through? A. By lining the planters with some aluminum foil. Q. Is there any way at all I "•an down the shedding of my angora sweaters, gloves, and scarves? A. Try keeping your angoras in the refrigerator between wearing*. Works, wonders. FIVE-WATTER CLUB ! HISTORY REVIEWED SINCE INCEPTION The TVi-Courrty Five Watters Club, Inc., one of the area's fast growing organizat i o n s , providing s e rvice throughout t h e community, Was formed by sixteen invested CBcrs on the Sunday of Aug. 13, 1960. The purpose of the club is to create fellowship, promote interest in Citizen Band Radios among its members, their families, local government, law enforcement agencies, the general public and to improve operating techninue and practices in accordance with thc^F.C.C. rules and regulations. The club was incorporated with the state of Illinois as a non-profit organization on July 27, 1961. ^ Thus far the Tri County Five Wf tters Club, Inc., has acted many times as a group in the interest of the community. In 1961, control and rescue details were organized to manage the V-J Day parade in Woodstock and the Milk Day parade in Harvard. This consisted of the control of all marching units in the parade and all the rescue units which meant the use of fourteen mobile units and four walkie-talkies in Woodstock and seven mobile units in Harvard. Also in 1961, police details were organized for Halloween nigh^S^ Harvard and McHenry. requested by--tht^- local police chiety>-A'j:ain success was experienced and a second performance was requested and given in 1962. McHenry also requested our assistance in controling the% Fiesta Day parade in 1962, which was quickly answered with six mobile units. The club meml>ers, as individuals, and as a group, have assisted in many emergency calls on the highways in the area of McHenry and Boone counties in Illinois and Walworth county in Wisconsin. These three counties are noted in the club name. The assistance is given in an immediate call to a monitoring base station which, in turn, speeds the necessary emergency equipment to the area. The club has sc;. aside Channel 9, 27.065 Mc. as a monitoring channel. On the social and business side of the story, the club has meetings once monthly governed by their by-laws as the second Saturday of each month. Also throughout the last year the club has had picnics, educational films and dinner meetings. Presently the club membership is anticipating Red Cross first aid schooling for community benefit. The club membership is open to any interested CBer in possession of a class D license for the 27 Mc. frequency Citizens Barifl and a C.B. unit. Application for membership is approved by vote of the club. The club officers are as follows: President, Lou Belshavv; Vice-Pres., Lou Larson; secretary, Lyle Krause; and treasurer, Roy Schultz.
