**t feljtl AsT .TftHER SUCCUMBS TO HEABT ATTACK | (Continued from Page 1) A • ^ chard drive, was the apparent S victim of a heart attack in his <| home. He was found on the floor J j near the telephone, by his general caretaker, Clifford Mor- :<ris, 15, about 2:30 p.m. Young Morris notified neighbor Harry Berry who called Mrs. Frank • Branham. /Mrs. Branham, a « next door neighbor, called the ? Johnsburg Rescue squad, who answered the plea for help; 'i Mr. Stuhlfeier's daughter, ^ Mrs. Ben (Violet) Gates, 5208 £ W. Fountain lane, McCullom * Lake, had left town just a few •> hours before he was stricken •' and could not be reached over * the weekend. She and her husband were somewhere in the LaCrosse, Wis., area but ef- : forts of state police in the 'two states.were.unsuccessful. '• The couple returned Sunday night to receive the unhappy news, and make arrangements. Arthur J. Siuhlfeier was born ; Feb. 1, 1889, in St. Paul, Minn., . the son of Christine and Wil- - liam. On Oct. 14, 1912, he '» married Maude Bisdorf in Anoka, Minn. They made their home in Minneapolis and moved to Chicago in 1926 with their daughter, Violet, and from there, to Forest Park. The deceased began working at the age of 15 and spent about sixty years in printing and newspaper work. He owned a printing company and the Robinsdale News, handled the ' Oseo News and the Minnetonka Herald. The Stuhlfeiers pur- ; chased property in the village in 1933 and moved there per- ; manently in 1941. He started ; printing the Pictorial News- ' letter eleven years ago. His long list of activities included president of the Re- * publican club, Forest Park; worked for several years with . the National Safety council; ; president of the Cullom-Knoll association for five years six years as village tru 3 • and road commissioner. He was elected village president in April, 1965. In his early years, he studied voice and sang in church and for various organizations. He was inor dl nate ly proud of hi s long affiliation with the Masonic order and received his f Gfty-year pin in 1964 at a special serviceMn McHenry. He was a member of^ Hennepin 4, . Masonic lodge, Minneapolis. > Visitation was held at the Peter Justen and Son Funeral home Monday night, with Masonic services conducted at 8 p.m., Tuesday. The Rev. Ronald " L. Anderson, Ringwood Methodist church, conducted burial services at 2 p.m. Wednesday ^ and interment was in Woodland " cemetery, McHenry, beside his . wife. fa addition to his daughter, he is survived by two grandsons, Glenn of McHenry and Robert, U.S. Navy. He also leaves two brothers, and two sisters, William of Anaheim, Calif., Harris of Blaine, Minn., Mrs.Min- - nie Waleen and Mrs. Emma Hennessy, both of St. Paul, , Minn. He was preceded in death ^by his parents and one brother, Herman. Barracks, 361, World War I barracks. He was presented the Century Club award, a high honor, from the chief commander of this barracks for obtaining 100 new members in a perod of only a year. Survivors are his wife, Vivian (Gorton) McCarthy; a daughter, Mrs. Leonard (Leoda) Freiind of McHenry; four sisters, mrs. Edmund (Nora) Walsh, Mrs. Fred(Abbie)Stone, Mrs. Carl (Elizabeth) Turner and Mrs. George (Ella) Schlesser, all of Chicago; seven grandchildren, John, Darlette, Ronald, Marlette, Donald, Charlette and Jeremiah. His' parents were the late Jeremiah and Mary Sullivan McCarthy. The body rested at the George R. Justen & Son funeral home until Saturday morning. A service was read in St. Mary's church, where a funeral Mass was sung at 10 o'clock Monday. Burial was in the church cemetery. MANY CHANGES (Continued from Page 1) chase the previous night in the Island Lake area, ending when his car was involved in an accident and badly damaged. He is reported to have purchased another auto on the day of his ill-fated encounter with police. Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from Page 1) established themselves among the city's most respected business men. More than a few people will note with regret that they are leaving McHenry* s business scene after forty- two years. Folks who keep urging greater interest at local elections may get a lift by comparing the number of votes cast today with forty years ago. Couldn't help but smile as we read that J. E. Pufahl became president and George H. Johnson and Fred Boger were elected members of the grade school board of education with seven votes apiece. A.E. Nye and E.E. Bassett took their seats on the high chool board with nine votes each. Some of the joy of the Easter season was marred for many of us by the deaths of two men who contributed greatly to McHenry and the surrounding community, past and present. We felt privileged to count each of them among our good friends, and will long recall their service to the people of this area. As we look back on the extended illness of former Police Chief John McCarthy, we remember so well his frequent visits to the Plaindealer office in the quieter days when we were located on Green street. His big Irish grin could melt the heart on occasion, while at other times the smile wrinkles turned to a frown as he administered his duties so capably as head of the city's police department. With the name of McCarthy and a demeanor to back it up, we could almost be sure his strong will would see him through the past .St. Patrick's Day. The death of McCullom Lake Village President Art Stuhlfeier, on Good Friday, was a shock to many. In spite of recent bouts of illness, the aging publisher always managed to bounce back with amazing speed. It should have been no surprise that he was still at work Thursday night after "putting to bed" his last issue of the Pictorial Newsletter the previous day. His two great interests were the people of the village he headed and the readers of his semimonthly paper. No one can dispute the fact that he did all in his power to serve them well. MCHS Senior Essay Winner ~ (Continued from Page 1) in mathematics. His essay reads as follows: JUNIOR COLLEGE "McHenry county, at the present, is engaged in the act of raising funds for a future Junior college within the county. Questions which arise and need to be answered before a Junior college can be built, are of the following magnitude: What primarily, is a Junior college?; What advantage does a Jtinior college offer to the student?; and, What effects would a Junior college have on the tounty? "Ever since Junior colleges were first organized, they have been very successful and beneficial, and will with no doubt continue to remain so. A Junior college consists of the first two years of study of a university. An important feature of a Junior college, which few people realize , is that the two years of a Junior college have the same potential credit rating as the first two years of a university. A Junior college is not a mere sub-college for students who do not qualify for university or college entrances, but for all students of normal intellectual ability. The teachers within a Junior college are just as qualified as those in a university, the competition among students is just as great, and the courses offered are the same as those offered in the first two years of a university. However, a Junior college offers a greater variety of courses from which a student may choose according to his particular need or want. "Because of the large variety of courses offered in a Junior college, the student has a wider field of study to choose from, allowing himself to choose the courses of study in which he believes he will have the most and best opportunity for advancement in our future society. Should the student encounter a problem which he is unable to understand, he will have a most valuable advantage which students in a university do not have. This advantage is the amount of time which can be allotted to him individually by his teacher in explaining the solution or concept of the problem. The reason for the greater amount of time which can be focused on an individual student in a Junior college, is the fact that the number of students in a given class room are less in a Junior college than in a university. It should thus be understood that the student in a Junior college is not as handicapped with the amount of time which cfcan be focused on him individually, as is the student in a university. Also because of the sfze of a Junior college, normally smaller than university, every student has a more equal opportunity in participating in a given event. "A Junior college within a county does not only offer the student an advantage intellectual ly, but also financially. A JOHN MCCARTHY John McCarthy, 74, McHenry police chief for twelve years before his retirement, died March 22 in Hines Veterans Administration hospital following a long illness. He had only recently returned here from vSt. Petersburg, Fla„ where he made his home for several years. Mr. McCarthy was a member of the Chicago police force from 1915 to 1941, and thereafter served as McHenry* s chief. He was a native of Chicago, where he was born Nov. 26, 1892. The deceased was a veteran of World War I, when he served in the Army, and belonged to Legion Post 491 in McHenry. In St. Petersburg, he served as.commander of the Sun City There's noplace like a crowd of 25,000 for running into folks you know. And Alex Justen, our mailman, can prove it. Alex and his wife, Elvera, are vacationing in California. While on a day long trip to Disneyland, amidst such a huge crowd," they met Mr. and Mrs. Jack Laures and four children and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Landgren, former McHenry residents, and Mr. and Mrs. James Bell of Wonder Lake. A planned visit later with Mrs. Charles Stowell, the former Anna Popp of McHenry, made "old home week" complete for the Justens. The most recent report of the McHenry County Board of Health for a one-month period listed expenditures at $2,083 and earned income at $2,945. McHenry listed 20 patients and 117 visits. The number ofhome health nursing visits rose from 22 in July of last year to 301 this past January. K.A.F. Junior college within the McHenry county would allow students who have the desire to attend a Junior college , to stay within their county. The student would thus not be forced to travel outside of his county, allowing him to save financially on transportation between his home and the Junior college which he is attending. It should be quite clear that being able to attend a Junior college in one's own county instead of another county would enable the student to, save money on transportation, which he could use for his Junior college expenses, such as tuition, room rent, and social activities. "A Junior college would also benefit the county in which it is located. Residents who have members of their family wishing to attend a Junior college, and live outside of the McHenry county in which the Junior college is located, would probably be influenced to move into the county. This influx of residents certainly would result in new and improved public works and benefits for the residents of McHenry county. Mcr Henry county would be thus modernized, educationalized, increased in population, and increased in importance, all resulting from the building of a Junior college." MOBILE X-RAY UNIT TO VISIT > COUNTY FRIDAY On Friday, March 31, the mobile chest x-ray unit will be in operation from 12:30 to 5, and 6 to 8:30 p.m. on the south side of the Court House, Woodstock.

Nye, south of Elm street, about 6 o'clock last Wednesday evening. Fire chief Ed Justen said Art Martin noticed the flames from his home and called the fire department. He said a partition separating the shed from the garage prevented greater damage to the latter. While fighting the blaze, firemen noticed smoke emanating from the roof of Dr. Nye's office, evidently caused by a spark. A hole in the roof resulted. How Can I ? Q. How can I cope with silverfish in my home? A. One of the best ways to discourage these little pests is by the use of pyrethrum or a commercial insect powder containing it. Lacking that, the next best thing is sodium fluoride crystals, obtainable at most drugstores. Whatever you use, spread it liberally around under the baseboards and moldings. Q. How can I forestall possible cracks and chips in my new kitchen enamelware? A. Place the new enamelware in cold water, and bring it to a slow boil -- and this should keep it free from cracks and chips for a long time. Q. How can I clean a straw hat? A. After first brushing off all the loose dirt, you can perform a good job of cleaning with a cloth dampened in alchohol. . Q. What is a good way to bind the cut edges of carpets and rugs and prevent their fraying? A. With rubber cement. First trim the nap from about 1/8- inch of the edge of the carpet, then coat the trimmed edge and the underside for %-inch or so with ordinary rubber cement-- at least two applications. Q. How can I bring out the full flavor of raisins and dates? A. Try soaking them in boiling water for about five minutes. Two tablespoons of boiling water for each half-cup of fruit will be satisfactory. Many other such tips on cookery appear in my new household-hints book. Q. How can I sharpen a dull pair of scissors? A. Take a coarse sewing needle in your left hand, and with your right hand try to cut the needle with the scissors. Or, cut the scissors through fine sandpaper several times.
