PG- 2. ruAINDEALER - Recently the Sunnyside Estates Women's club held its annual Christmas party for all children of the subdivision.

DORR TOWNSHIP •HISTORY, TELLS OF UNSUNG HERO Dorr township, containing the McHenry county seat of Woodstock, is named after a man who can justifiably be called a national unsung hero in the cause of a right that the American people take very much for granted, gamely, free suffrage. The full story of Thomas Wilson Dorr came to light during the past week in preparation of the Dorr Township chapter in "McHenry County, Illinois -- 1832-1968" the big book being planned for distribution' about July 15, 1968. - Prior history on this subject of Dorr township's name being very scanty, Editor Lowell Nye had written to Providence, R.I. for more information. Local histories had said merely that the McHenry county township was named after a Rhode Island Governor "who opposed the English laws which made the eldest son the only heir to his father's estate". A biography from Rhode Island reveals the full story on Thomas Wilson Dorr, who gave up a good legal practice, education and respectability to languish in a state prison under a life sentence because the government he headed which had been dfoly elected by a new People's Constitution was declared illegal by the older Charter General Assembly owing its origin to the English king Charles n restrictions on voting. This restriction declared that a person, to be a legal voter, had to own an " estimated" $134 worth of property and that this voting privilege could then be passed on to his eldest son. The vote on the new People's Constitution was 13,944 in favor to 52 against. All persons in the state, age 21 or over, were permitted to cast a ballot. The electron took place in Oct., 1841. However, the Charter General Assembly meeting at Newport declared" the other government illegal. Thomas Wilson Dorr, who had been duly jlected governor under the new Constitution along with a new legislature, had < to flee the state and a bounty was placed on his head. After a year and half of absence, he returned" to Providence, was arrested for trea- NOW OPEN AT 3325 W. Elm Si JACKIE FREUND Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence G. Freund of 1701 W.

The guest for the adult meeting was A1 Bianchi, assistant district commissioner of the Kishwaukee Districts Mr. Bianchi is a very dedicated Scouterand his enthusiasm over the Sfeout program was certainly felt ..by all present. He gave many worthwhile^ tips on how to have a smooth running Scout pack and how to make this an interesting program for the parents of the boys. At this meeting it was decided not to have a pack meeting in Decemfoerdue to the fact that meeting day fell on Christmas. The next pack meeting will be held on the usual day, Jan. 22, at the VFW hall in McHenry. More information will be available at a later date. One of the highlights of this pack meeting will be the distribution of many awards. We have good news for any boys waiting to join our unit.

Coming events include the Blue and Gold Dinner to be held sometime in February. This ta an event that should not be nursed by any of the Scout families. Trte food is without a doubt, of the highestquality, and the entertainment provides fun for all. Also coming up is the Pinewood Derby and possibly a Space Derby. WEDDING BELLS' Wedding Bells rang out as Ronald Jeschke, son of Mr. and son and was imprisoned. Then followed a state Supreme Court trial that lasted four weeks. It found him guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonments That was in 184|.1 There must have been a great outcry against this finding, because the General Assembly of Rhode Island, a year later, freed Governor Dorr, and ifollowed that, at its January 1854 session with an act reversing the Supreme Court decision. Mr. Dorr died in December of that same year. This background on the naming of Dorr Township, which in a way recalls the signers of the Declaration of Independence and how so many of them lost '<thejr lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor", will be chronicled in the new History of McHenry County, 1832- 1968. The Education Committee of the McHenry County Board of Siqjervisors, publishers of the forthcoming book, last week decided to allow a 30 day grace period on the price of the book. Hie pre-publication price will continue at $16.00 per copy until February 1, 1968, after which the pricg will be $18.50. The book will consist of more than 900 pages containing more than 400 McHenry County Illustrations.
