With pride, he points out that he did not sign a single death certificate in that epidemic year. Dr. Klontz, a member of the McHenry COunty Medical society, was truly a "horse and buggy" doctor. Feeding and grooming the four horses he owned put a demand upon his time, he recalls, but it was never necessary to dig the horses out of the snow-- Sortiething he often did with the nlodel T car he bought to replace the horses.

Musin & Meanderin (Continued From Page 1) pressing sincere thanks this Thursday. From the standpoint of protection, where it concerns our pride and pocketbook, we have made it a point to be very polite to police officers. Last week Tuesday night, however, it took a good deal of self-discipline to place that protective measure above our natural instinct to "slug" one unidentified officer who stopped us to ask why we were driving so slow, adding a mild threat that he could give us a ticket if he really wanted to. The time was almost 9:30 at night, hardly a mile after we had left the neighboring village of Lakemoor, which is well posted with speed signs we always aim to keep. With few cars on the road at that hour, it never occurred to us that the fact we were in no hurry would inconvenience other drivers, least of all a policeman. With all the speeders in our midst, it did seem that any officer who really wanted trouble could find it among the drivers who are always in a hurry to get no particular place. When our curiosity finally got the best of us, we asked our own McHenry chief of police and learned that we were within our rights as local highways do not have minimum speed laws. Must have been some poor food the little woman set hefore our disgruntled officer "friend" that night! A Thanksgiving season without a few culinary tips from our Cook's Corner lady," Marie Schaettgen, is hardly complete. This will be the first year within memory that our long time "cook extraordinary" has failed to assist our readers with at least one favorite recipe. However, Marie has recently returned from a surgical stay in the hospital and will be doing probably no cooking and very little eating this holiday. Our best wishes for good health to a very loyal contributor who has been a friend of the Plaindealer these many years.
