MushT & Meanderin (continued from page 1) McHenry has special reason to express pride in her youth tMs Week. Last Saturday, for the second time in three years, a local young lady, competing with 500 Girls Staters, has captured the title of governor of the mythical state set up in Jacksonville, nu This year she is Cathy Bolger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bolger. The previous McHenry governor, in 1965, was L$nn Krebs, who is now competing a year spent in study in Switzerland. this month of brides, it seems timely to ponder on the facl that erf all the strides made by mi-lady over the hundreds of years, none is more noteworthy than thatof the gal wti| changes her name this year of |%7. The wedding pictures telt much of the story as she -Iooi|s smug while the groom appears noble, dedicated--and stumed. Today's bride sweeps down the |isle with all the self-satisfaction of a Diana returning front the hunt with a stag slung ove£ her shoulder. But alas, it was .not forever so! There was a day when the June ritual was a far cry from the factory celebration of the predfetory female. Like many marriages today, the relationship didn't last long for very often the woman was simply a captured slave. Experts on the subject believe that mnay of the traditions of today had their start in the days of marriage by capture. They tell us that the best man dates back to the time when a strongarmed friend of the groom held off the woman's relatives while the groom matte his escape-- with his bride. The custom of carrying the bride over the threshold and the honeymoon also are believed to have started back in the early days. Bid in some other primitive cultures, marriage by pur chase was more common than mar- 3*ge_ by capture. The bride was left frith fewer bruises, but the whole procedure was harder on her pride, particularly in those cases when her grdom-to-be placed her value equivalent to one small ox. No wonder the bride of 1967 smiles smugly in satisfaction. She's come a long way! monies leading 19 to the big night, which led her to believe her son must surely be recognized for nothing less than a doctor's degree. And this same mother went on to enumerate such expenses as souvenirs, parties, proms, year books, class rings, photographs, etc., which, she insists, bring the exfor m*"v <"*,,pbB" ?r»d- 5 uates to more than $200 compared with $60 for some of the eastern colleges and universities commonly referred to as "exclusive". Of course, these extras referred to above are many times supplied by working teenagers, except in cases where indulgent nsrwtfs f«**l tW» npwl to reward their offspring for twelve years of learning. The outspoken mother who has been "through the mill" only shook her head as she watched the celebrations expand while the value of the high school diploma heads in the other direction; which doesn't speak too well for the knowledge of most folks on the subject of economy. K. A. F. Sandra Fry, 17, Festival Queen (continued from page 1) Miss Fry will jump into the Miss McHenry County contest activity.

An account of one such parent who very recently survived the ordeal has led us to believe that the cost of graduation has spiralled like most every other part of living.

With the recent annexation of the large area known as the Granger and Hartman farms, the city council feels that it must now consider the annexation of surrounded areas along the south side of Illinois Route 120, and the Lakeland Shores area. Another area along Crystal Lake road in Cooney Heights is also surrounded by the city and annexation by the city is also in the planning.

Current Taxes Is Distributed Two Reminders Are Issued To Late Taxpayers Over $8 million was mailed to the 141 taxing districts in the county this week by the McHenry County Treasurer's office. The bulk of the amount (almost 80 percent went to the public school systems. Other major taxing bodies include cities and villages, townships and county government. All money will be spent by local tax districts. In addition, an undetermined number of late taxpayers in the western half of the county received notices of their delinquency in paying the Personal Property Tax. If they and others who have failed to pay thus far send in their checks before July 1, only 1 percent penalty interest will be charged. The $8 million was the second distribution of current taxes that has been made during this collection season. The first was made in mid-May and is the earliest such distribution of current taxes in memory. A total of $2 million was released at that time because of numerous requests from hardpressed taxing districts throughout the county. This year the Treasurer's office is making a determined effort to convince delinquent taxpayers that it is to their advantage to pay their 1966 Personal Properly tax voluntarily. "We are going to give the taxpayer two reminders and then start suing for collection," Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr., said. Besides the original tax bill, delinquent taxpayers will receive a notice of their nonpayment. Then, the last part of next month the names of tax evaders and the amount they owe will be published in local papers at a cost of $1 apiece to taxpayers. After that, suits will begin in earnest. The Treasurer's office urges individuals and businesses to save themselves time and money by paying promptly.
