THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER • r_ ^ - w/ "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1075 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 19, 1969 SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 14, 1929) One of the loveliest of fall weddings was solemnized at St. John's church, Johnsburg, Nov. 9, when Miss Dorothy Bauer of Pistakee Bay became the bride of Mr. Mathias Adams of Johns­ burg before a large assembly of relatives and friends. Rev. Father William Weber, pastor of St. John's church, officiated at the ceremony. Ambrose Schaefer received a broken arm the last of the week. The accident occurred while he was trying to start his car. Our gang boys met at the home of Willys Schreiner Fri­ day evening and enjoyed an eve­ ning of fun. Bunco was played and the first prize went to Willys Schreiner and the sec­ ond went to Fred Meyer. The dance given by the Lily Lake school with Miss Mary Bolger as teacher on Saturday evening was a big success. The affair was a masquerade and took place at the Lily Lake hall. A sum of $57 was clear­ ed for the school. Martin Butler and Si Robb of Spring Grove motored to Princeton Thursday with a load of fish from the Spring Grove hatchery. Miss Leone Givens was a Chicago visitor Wednesday eve­ ning. She was one of a par­ ty of girls from the Public Service company of Crystal Lake' who attended a meeting and banquet at the Edison build­ ing in Chicago. Mrs. P.H. Weber, daughter, Helen, and son, Robert, and Miss Clara Schiessle visited in the Harley Johnston and See- ley Johnston home at Cham­ paign over the weekend and saw the Illinois-Army football game. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 16, 1944) An unusual occurrence which spread sorrow through the com­ munity took the lives of a broth­ er and sister within three hours time Nov. 12. They are Etta Cars, Grades don't Mix, Study Shows The more a student uses a car during the week, the poorer the student's grades will be, emphasized an official of a leading insurance company. Referring to ' A Teenage Pattern," a study of 20,000 high school students, the ma­ jor finding: Grades go down as driving privileges are ex­ tended. "Parents are the only peo­ ple who can supervise and en­ force sensible use of the auto­ mobile during the academic year," according to tbe study. In addition young drivers are becoming involved in more auto accidents than ever before. Citing late statistics, par­ ents are urged to exercise strict control over their chil­ dren's driving. Late accident figures from the National Safety council show that drivers in the 15-24 age group have a crash and death rate nearly double that of ol­ der drivers. Young drivers under 24 have crashes at an annual rate of 41 to 100 drivers while dri­ vers aged 40-65 have 18 col­ lisions per 100 drivers. "Many of these crashes could have been prevented if the dri­ vers involved had been prop­ erly trained," said the report. "Experience shows that train­ ed young drivers have 50 per cent fewer crashes than untrained drivers of the same age." But even if the young driver is well trained, studies must come before driving. The "Teenage Pattern" study show­ ed that too much use of a car affects the grades of good stu­ dents as well as poor students. Grades start to suffer when the car is used more than two days out of five during school week. Students who do not drive or who use the car only on weekends have the best grades, while those who drive two to four school days a week h a v e s i g n i f i c a n t l y p o o r e r grades, the survey proved. These are recommendations to parents interested in helping their children become good stu­ dents and good drivers: 1. Make sure that scholar­ ship comes first and driving second. 2. See that they get proper driver training in high school. 3. Restrict the use of cars to weekends and keep the week days for school work. There will be exceptions, but this is a good basic approach. 4. Don't permit a teenager to have a part-time job just to pay for a car or to sup­ port one. 5. Keep the keys in your own pocket and lend the car only under the proper circum­ stances. and David Powers, who lived their entire lifetime in this community.

Bob's Auto Mart, located at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Fluoride May Be Helpful In Heart Disease Fluoride may have an im­ portant role to play in the pre­ vention of heart disease. That much-discussed com­ pound has long been known for its ability to preserve the cal­ cium in bones and teeth. But a recent study suggests that fluoride can do exactly the op­ posite for the body's bloodves- the Crystal Lake blacktop, will hold grand opening Nov. 19 to 22.

These findings have come about through the study of an­ other chronic disease, osteo­ porosis. Osteoporosis is a loss of bone. The bones become porous and less dense, and abnormal spaces develop where bone should be. As judged by x-ray findings, most people begin to lose bone at about 40 years of age. This progresses more rap­ idly in some than,, in others and generally women aVe more susceptible than men. It has been known that people and animals exposed to very high levels of fluoride develop­ ed hard, dense bones. It seem­ ed likely that such bone would be less susceptible to osteo­ porosis and that fluoride might be useful in the treatment of osteoporosis. In atherosclerosis, calcium salts are deposited in the walls of the blood vessels, causing them to become hard and stony -- thus, the popular term "hardening of the arteries." Through x-rays it is easy to see the amount of calcium in the aorta, the major artery of the body, which carries blood from the heart to all parts of the body except the lungs. X-rays from individuals living in high and low fluoride areas were ex­ amined to discover how much the aorta had calcified. Inter­ estingly enough, calcification of this vessel was much less prominent in the high fluoride area and this was especially true in men. These data thus suggest that appropriate levels of fluoride ingestion assist in keeping the calcium in the bones and help prevent calcification of the blood vessels, especially in men, wio are more suscep­ t i b l e t o h ^ - d e n i n g o f t h e a r ­ teries and neart disease. Fur­ ther studies of this kind are obviously needed.
