Page Ten THE McHENRT PLA1NDEALEH Thursday# October 17, 1963 TWICE TOLD TALES Fifty Years Ago Taken From The Files Of Oet. 9, 1913 The little daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hovet on Monday of last week undoubtedly holds the record for Me- Henry in one respect at least it having two fully developed teeth at birth. This is a very unusual occurrence, one seldom recorded, and to our knowledge is the first one record :d in McHenry. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schoewer have returned Irom a few days visit with their sons in Bcloit, Wis. While there Mr. Schocwtr. celebrated his fortieth anniversary in the blacksmithim; business. Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Block and family, who left for their new home in Elgin yesterday, were tendered a farewell party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Feltz Sunday. The v;ucsts arrived just before the noon hour in time to partake of a bountiful repast served by Mrs Feltz in the spacious basement of the home which was taslefully decorated with autumn leaves and foliage. Twelve members of the Thimble club of Riverview camp of Royal Neighbors were gu&sts of the Roya! Needle society of Lake Geneva at the home of Mrs. Elva Davis on the lake shore. A reception committee met the guests at the train, the president of the society and the oracle of the camp being conveyed to the home of the hostess in a carriage while the others enjoyed the lovely walk. William Stotfel, Jr., of this village owes his life to his presence of mind. While working ais a mason nt the new addition to the WeiUind plant in Spring Grove Saturday his overall pocket was caught, in a rapidly revolving shaft and before Ihe machinery could be stopped he ! Was carried around the shaft eight or ten times. The first time he struck his head against the ceiling. After this he ducked every time which no doubt saved his life. When the shaft was brought to Q stop .everyone thought he was dead as it was necessary to cut his clothes from his back to extricatc him. Fortunately he escaped with a broken arm and bruises. We are informed that the Chicago officials of thef American Terra Cotta company are dhxious to have a train service established for McHenryites employed at the Terra dotta factory. • At the present time there are thirty-three of our people employed there and' we believe with a workmen's train this number could eaaily be doubled. John M. Frett, who resides north of Johnsmburg, informs us that he has lost his entire drove of hogs, seventeen in number, by cholera. Other farmers in the vicinity also report large losses from the same cause. Forty Years Ago Taken From The Files Of Oct. II, 1923 A deal has been consummated whereby Robert F. Clement of Chicago has sold thru Ben Stilling and Son, the summer property known as Clement Lodge, located on the east shore of Fox river, south of McHenry. The purchaser of the property which consists of a summer home and four acres of land are Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dietz of Chicago. The property was purchased by Mr. Clement from Dr. D. G. Wells and John Barbian in 1912 and since then one hundred apple and fruit trees have been planted and several other improvements made. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson was the scene of a happy gathering on Sunday in honor of the eightyfourth birthday of their grandmother. Mrs. H. C. Smith. Of her two children living only Mrs. Alsena Chapell of Chicago was present, Mrs. L. H. Owen of Cushing, Okla., being unable to attend. Twenty-two guests were present from Chicago, Elgin, Waukegan, Hebron, Farmingham and McHenry. Rev. Albert Ash?on is the new pastor of the Methodist church, having been transferred from Maiden, 111. Twenty-two of the forty-seven years of his life lias been spent as a missionary in India rind during the war he was an army chaplain in London. They are still getting them at the old game "dill-doving." Last week a real hunting paity was pulled off. A young man from Elgin is said to have been the victim. Two small boys, who thoughtlessly threw stones into the Universalist church during the services Sunday, were given a sound lecture by Officer Jack Walsh. This is a serious offense and should it happen again the offenders are liable to spend a night in jail. Mrs. Delia Matthews is u new employee at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company, having started work lust week. Twentv-flve Years Ago Taken From The FIICH Of Oct. 13, 1938 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heimer celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their home on Main street Friday, Oct. 7, with members of their immediate family present. The occasion also honored the third wedding anniversary of their granddaughter, Mrs. Travis Jordan, and husband, of Crystal Lake. Mrs. Jordan was the former Elaine Bradley. Henry Meyers, 81, an old time McHenry resident, passed away at the Hartland hospital, Oct. 6, the result of old age and a weakened heart. Martin Conway has been absent from hi.s work at the Riverside Dairy the past week due to an injury sustained when he slipped and fell on the carrier while delivering milk. It required four stitches to close a wound below the knee. Twenty-four members from Elgin, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Marengo, Harvard and McHenry were present at the monthly meeting of the McHenry County Past Oracles club held at the heme of Mrs. Charles Ensign Tuesday. A handkerchief shower was held for Mrs. Carrie Stewart, president of the club, honoring her birthday. Math Weber was surprised by his family and nieces and nephews at a party held at his home Saturday evening honoring his eighty-second birthday. Four generations were represented at tihs happy gathering, Math Weber, John Weber, Mrs. Bernice Freund and small son, Jack.

Green Street McHenry, Illinois Phone 385-4500 HARRISON BOARD APPROVES S300 FOR EQUIPMENT Land Acquisition Discussed In Line With Future Growth A motion to spend $300 for physical education was passed at the Oct. 1 meeting of Harrison school board. The money will purchase balls, bats and similar equipment. The action rather, than amount is. the more newsworthy. It was incorrectly reported previously thai ihe board on Sept. 3 voted $190 for this purpose. At that meeting, the board was deadlocked in a 3-3 tic and the motion failed. This indicates, however, the cost conscious mood as the board examines expenditures against tax-short dollars on which to operate the scht-ul following twice defeated referendums. Make-up of the board at the time of voting on these two motions was a significant deciding factor. Express Views Discussion of these motions produced many prc-referendum pro and con viewpoints, as did another motion on Rev. Richard N. Wright's request of Sept. 17 that the board reconsider its policy of closing the building to outside groups and permit his youth group to use the gym. On motion ot Cnsty, seconded by Haak, the board voted 4 to 1 to uphold its policy and deny Rev. Wright's request. A following motion by Watkins, seconded by Haak, calls for a committee to investigate use of the building by community I groups on a pay-t he-cost basis, the vote 4 to 1 in favor. 1 Supt. Merl F. Thomas is to develop a workable buildinguse cost factor, and the committee will be named at the next board meeting. A subject of land acquisition that has come up informally at previous board meetings, involves about 20 acres adjacent to the east boundry of Indian Ridge subdivision, owned by Wonder Lake Syndicate. Dr. Watkins suggested a Syndicate offer to sell at $1,000 per acre he held open. Thomas noted that long-range planning for community growth merits serious consideration of the offer. He said that experience of other school districts investing in growth sites indicates the land can be sold later, usually at a profit, if not used for school expansion. State law permits land acrjuistion by means of taxes or bond issue. General Dtscwnon Balance of the meeting was devoted to general discussion of such problems as boardadministrator- teacher-community relations, discipline, home work, reaction of parents and youngsters to specific classroom situations, and consideration given to viewpoints and criticism by parents. Thomas reported the first fire drill this year was slightly slower than last year, the building evacuated in one minute and two seconds. Inspection by a state fire marshal indicated previous building corrections are satisfactory, but installation of fire detectors or heat risers was suggested. An audit of the books tinder a new bookkeeping system has been cmpleted, and found to be in good order. Bookkeeping is another responsibility of Gladys Gustavson, secretary. Dec. 1 is the deadline to publish the school's financial statement. The state certificate of recognition has been received, indicating educational standards and curriculum requirements are satisfactory. Reading and I.Q. tests were administered to students Oct. 14-15, school pictures made Oct. 11, and the first junior high play by seventh graders will be Oct. 25. Thomas also reported arlangements were made to I transport a mentally retarded | youngster to the Terra Cotta school at a cost of $5.25 per I schoql day. Transportation is l provided by Victor Gustavson. Next highest bidders were $8 and $11 per day. The district is required to provide this transportation.
