Thursday, March 21, 1963 THE McHENHY PLMNBEALEH Page Thlri®«a Twke Told Talet •Wty Years Ago Take* Prom The Files Of March IS, 1913 John Wollar, the enterprising West Side shoe merchant, is offering a pair of shoes free of charge to every baby born in McHenry during the veer of 1913. John L&Fsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Larsen, former McHenry residents, has just won big honors at Princeton university, Princeton, N. J., where he is now a student, Mr. Larsen's name appears in the list of scholastic honor men for the term closed as a result of the mid-year examinations held last month. He is listed among the highest twenty in his class which numbers over 400. When one remembers that in an ordinary column there are 10,000 pieces of type, that there are seven wrong positions each letter may be put in and there are 70,000 ways to make errors besides millions of chances for transpositions, he will not be too critical. In the sentence, "To be or not to be," by transposition alone it is possible to make 2,759,022 errors. So you see the perils that beset a printer. The prize winners in the baby contest at the Central are as follows: First prize, diamond ring, awarded No. 22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Weber; second prize, life sized crayon portrait, donated by Frank Schnabel, awarded to No. 7, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Engeln; third prize, jaunting cart, donated by William Stoffel awarded to No. 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Nye. The contest was a success and proved a close finish which made it all the more interesting. The pleasant country home of Mr. and Mrs. William Whiting was the scene of gaiety and pleasure last Thursday when about thirty of Miss Norma's friends entered there, she suspecting nothing until merry voices mingled with sleigh bells warned her of the surprise. Mrs. Joseph Rothermel entertained members of the Thimble club at her beautiful new home on the banks of Fox river, Wednesday afternoon, with Mrs. James Perkins at the wheel making things lively for all. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. J. W. Smith with Mrs. W. A. Fisher assisting. Forty Years Ago Taken From The File* Of March 15, 1923 This locality in common with others throughout this section of the country, was visited by one of the most severe as well as damaging rain, sleet and snow storms during last Sunday night which has occurred here in years. The storm was accompained by strong wind which played havoc with the telephone and electric lines which run into McHenry which was almost isolated from the balance of the world Monday morning. McHenry was without electric service all day Monday and Tuesday. Most of the local workmen employed at Terra Cotta failed to reach t h e i r e m p l o y m e n t M o n d a y morning as the busses could not get through the snow. Johnsburg is entirely cut off as to electric and telephone service and smiliar conditions exist in many other places in the locality. Fifteen Johnsburg men went <wt with shovels on Monday of this week and Tuesday night had the. road between that place and McHenry ready for travel. These men are to be congratulated upon their public spirit. If such a spirit became general the mail carriers would be able to cover their entire routes instead of only a portion thereof. The influx of telephone and electric light men •nto the village following Sunday night's storm has filled Justen's hotel to its utmost capacity and as a consequence the popular hostelry presents a scene only witnessed during the busy summer season and from present indications this condition will exist for some time. The solemn dedication of the beautiful new St. Patrick's church and chapel of the village will take place next Saturday morning March 17, and with favorable conditions will be witnessed by the largest crowd that ever assembled for a similiar purpose. The buildings on the community high school property, formerly known as the Herbes estate were sold at public auction Tuesday afternoon. The barn on the property was bought by William Etten for $18.00, the Herbes homestead was bought by William Herbes for $39 who also acquired the brick cottage for $1.00 and an out house for $2.00. Work cm the new high school will commence as soon as weather permits. Mrs. Bridget Fleming passed away at her home near Barreville Saturday evening after a several months illness. The funeral was to have taken place from St. Patrick's church Tuesday morning but on ac- •count of impassable roads was postponed until this Thursday morning when an attempt will be made to get through. The average cost of dieting the forty-four inmates in the McHenry cpunty alms house at Hartland, during the past year was $4.81 a week per person; the cost for clothing medicine, medical attendance, tobacco and other incidentals bringing the average up to $5.65 a week. Twenty-five Years Ago Taken From The Flies Of March 17, 1938 J*ast week's spring sunshinebrought out many automobiles over the weekend and lured many Chicagoans out to the country for a day or two. Saturday was the warmest day of the year with the mercury around freezing/Signs of spring are evident with the arrival of the first robin reported, while tuplis and early spring flowers are breaking through the ground.
