CAROLE HUMANN 385-1605 BOY SCOUTS EARN AWARDS AT FALL CAMPOREE Boy Scout troop 459 spent the weekend of Oct. 17, 18, and 19 at the Call camporee spon­ sored by the Black Hawk Coun­ cil. This year the camporee took place at the Rockford Airport with some 120 troops partici­ pating. They took part in rope climbing, pacing, compass work, measuring trees, archery and other events. Each boy who attended received a patch to be worn on his uniform. The troop also earned a red ribbon for their troop flag. The Crow pa­ trol earned a red ribbon for their scores and the Moose pa­ trol earned a blue ribbon. In spite of the weather the hardy group of boys camped out in tents although the deluge on Saturday night turned out to be more than tents were meant to take. They returned home on Sunday pretty wet and tired but eager for the next outing. GIRL SCOUT TROOP 320 The meeting last week was a quick one as our troop was taken to the McHenry Fire De­ partment for a tour. Before we left treats were served by pa­ trol 4 and then we discussed the change in the date for in­ vestiture. It will be held on Nov. 5 as we are having a Hallo­ ween party on Oct. 29. The girls are to wear playclothes and bring only a mask for the party. After the discussion was over the troop left for the fire house where we saw all the equipment which is used in fire- fighting and learned what to do in case of fire. We also learn­ ed how the firemen work. Af­ ter leaving the fire house we went back to the community house where we were dis­ missed. Troop 320 wishes to thank Mrs. Schooley, Mrs. Stil­ ling, Mrs. Stupey, Mrs. Hafer and Mrs. Butler for driving the troop to town and back.

REALTORS' STATE CONVENTION IS FINE SUCCESS The Illinois Association of Real Estate Board's state con­ vention was held recently at the Marriott Motor motel in Chi­ cago. The McHenry County Board of Realtors was well represented at this convention, states John Fuhler, president. This convention proved to be exceptionally informative in many fields. Well known as well as well informed speakers brought the 1,000 persons at­ tending this convention up to date on the trend today in fi­ nance, appraisals, taxation facts, the use of computers in real estate, and the general ob­ ligations between buyer, seller and Realtor. During this convention Hor­ ace Wagner and Joseph Sullivan, PUBLIC PULSfc ("The Plaindealer invitc-i the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of gener­ al interest in our commun­ ity.

BOUQUETS "Gentlemen: "A very recent experience has assured me of the tremen­ dous job being done by the McHenry police. As the pro­ prietor of a McHenry business undergoing an attempted bur­ glary, my appeal for aid was answered in an unbelievably short time. The first answering officers alertly noted the pres­ ence of a suspicious vehicle some distance from the build­ ing and apprehended the two occupants. As a result of this fast and professional action all five of the suspects were ap­ prehended. The last three al­ ready were upon or within the building. "The McHenry Police de­ partment, Chief Espy and his fine force deserve commenda­ tion. Without their expert hand­ ling of the situation I and my business may have suffered in­ jury and damage. The officers both with T.P. Mathews, Real­ tors, of Wonder Lake, received membership in the Million Dol­ lar club-meaning each had to sell and close one million dol­ lars worth of sales and/or list­ ings in 1968. This is an out­ standing feat! Mrs. Joan Hill of Northern Illinois Realty Ser­ vice of Crystal Lake received her Graduate Realtors Institute certification at the awards lun­ cheon. The McHenry County Board of Realtors hosted a hospital­ ity room during this conven­ tion which gave them fine op­ portunity to meet other real­ tors from other boards. FPJ. OCTOBER 24, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 17 answering my call showed great personal bravery as well as fine professional observation and alertness. "Respectfully, "William J. Nye" "To the Public: "Recently, four tires and wheels were stolen from new cars in our new car inventory. We reported the theft to the Mc­ Henry Police department and a squad was at our dealership within a few minutes and two very courteous officers made a complete investigation. "In a few weeks, Chief Es- pey came to my office and re­ ported that he had a signed confession from the man who had stolen the wheels and tires, and the case was completely solved. "This is an excellent exam­ ple of first-class police work-- particularly in these days when the United States Supreme Court has done everything possible to make a police officer's job an impossible and thankless task. " My hat is off to these men and Chief Espey is to be com­ mended for the well-trained organization he is leading. "Very truly yours, "James R. Payton "908 N.
