Woods, because of the reductions in valuations made by the board of review and "assessors last summer. A copy of a letter written by Nicholas Frett in 1841 to a friend of his in the Eifel, Rhineland, Germany, was sent to the Plaindealer by N.M. Freund of St. Louis, Mo. It was published in the Chicago Tribune, Dec. 20, 1931. It told how Nicholas Frett, Nicholas Adams and Jacob Schmitt left their families in Chicago and went out into the country to look for an opportunity, and they found it thirty English miles from Chicago near the village of McHenry where there was an English free school and house of correction. Frett bought a farm of 160 acres which ac­ cording to the German measure makes 200 morgen, at $2.50 per acre, in German money, 6 marks. Nicholas Adams bought the same amount of land and Jacob Sch­ mitt bought 60 acres. The house and premises now occupied by Anton J. Schneider in Hanly Second Addition to McHenry will be sold at the east door of the Court House in Woodstock, Jan. 9. The following article, dated Dec. 11 at Isle, Minn., is an interesting account of a fishing adventure of Dwight Kennedy, a former McHenry resident. He was spearing fish in a small fish house. A big one got in line of fire. Kennedy speared him and failing to draw the monster through the medium sized hole in the ice, grabbed the fish with his hands. This maneuver put Kennedy prone on the ice, face downward. Still he could not make the fish fit the aparture. By his own words, he attacked the thin ice with his teeth and a few minutes later had enlarged the hole enough to draw the squirming fish through. It weighed thirty pounds. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 2, 1947) St. Mary's church was the scene of a very lovely mid­ winter wedding on Dec. 28 when Miss Audrey Rothermel became the bride of Mr. John Glosson. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Nix officiated at the ceremony. May we start the new year with a word of praise for the very fine job done in clearing Sunday morning's deep snow fall from city streets and high­ ways in the vicinity. Friends of Edward Murphy were interested to hear him in a coast to coast broadcast over WBBM Saturday morning. Murphy served as moderator in a discussion of four university students on labor problems and communism. The McHenry youth and two of the others taking part, one from Chicago, and another from Jamaica, are students at Loyola university. Merle Hobart, 60, who resided alone in Richmond, was found dead in bed by a brother, Lester, of Lake Geneva, and neighbors. They believed he died of a heart attack a few days previous. At least two McHenry persons, Vern and Howard Reinboldt, believe that the song writer who composed "June in January" really had something. The two brothers picked a dandelion in full bloom at the Dinkmeyer residence near the dam, Dec. 26. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Achor of Cutler, Ind., was christened Donald Paul at St. Mary's church Christmas morning. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Nix officiated at the service. The baby was christened in the same dress as was worn by his mother, the forrper Dorothy Heuser, her sister and two brothers. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 4, 1962) A tragic highway fatality, the twenty-seventh and last for McHenry county in 1961, took the life of a local woman, Florence Mae Wood, McHenry, on the evening of Dec. 27. Four others were injured but none seriously in the crash which occurred between the two steep hills at Terra Cotta. On Jan. 12 McHenry and the surrounding area will witness the second exercise under the expanded civil defense program. Of primary concern at this exercise will be the evacuation of all public and parochial schools in the McHenry high school district. Police, fire warden and com­ munications service will also participate. Mr. and Mrs. John Passfield of the Volo area were surprised at an open house held at their home Dec. 30, honoring their silver wedding anniversary. Five McHenry children became fatherless through death as the old year ended. R a y m o n d K e n n e b e c k , Riverside drive, McHenry, died at Michael Reese hospital Dec. 31 where he had been confined since Nov. 28. Christmas Day baby Paul Eric Carlson was christened in the Zion Lutheran church by Rev. Carl A. Lobitz. A petition from Dr. Lee Gladstone for reclassification of land at Fourth and James street was approved as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

"Editor: "On Dec. 4, 1971, Officer Mikkelsen of the City of McHenry Police department issued my son, David, a speeding citation supposedly verified by radar as 48 m.p h. in a 25 m.p.h. zone. "Trial was held Dec. 22, with Branch III Court Associate Justice Eugene Daly presiding and Assistant State's Attorney Samuel Diamond prosecuting the case. "David turned right from Fairway drive and proceeded north on Green street up a hill with a fairly good grade less than 500 feet to where the squad car was parked 75 feet from the edge of the road in the Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church driveway, in front of a sign that states, "Thou shalt not park here". "The squad car was parked on private property, violating a definite 'no parking'(sign, which fact was brougljrup at the trial and was just as calmly brushed off by Judge Daly as inconsequential. "My son's car was picked out of a group of three, with him in the middle vehicle. When they arrived at the police station Officer Mikkelsen asked him, 'You were the first car weren't you?' This he naturally denied at the trial. "The police officer testified that he tapped his tuning fork to calibrate the radar unit and immediately after the violation he tapped the tuning fork again to verify the violation. "Only the officer's testimony was presented that the radar unit was accurate and when asked if the radar unit had been sealed and tagged for evidence at the ensuing trial, he an­ swered in the negative. "Judge Daly then interceded and said that it was not necessary as it would remove the unit from use. "This violates all the rules of evidence and the question was raised if this was not an actual violation of the rules pertaining to the tampering with evidence. "My son was also the only one that Judge Daly did not ask the question, 'Do you wish to be heard by a judge or do you want a jury trial?' use of the property will be for apartments. Mr and Mrs. William Martin of Sterling spent Christmas holidays with his sister, Miss Rita Martin, who accompanied them to Waukegan on Christmas to spend the day in the home of their niece, Mrs. Richard Smith. -t~ op s? ALL FALL, W I N T E R & • HOLIDAY M EECHANDISE A "This case should have been dismissed on the grounds of definite discrimination in that why not all three cars should have been stopped? The officer also stated under oWh that he had clear vision atlall times. Perhaps you should\visit the scene, Judge Daly. V "This nefarious treatment accorded to an individual could happen to anyone of us with a possible resultant loss of a driver's license. "Is it any wonder that the young people of today refer to the establishment as 'pigs'?" "I was there at the trial and also visited the scene and made the measurements as stated earlier. "Yours very truly, "Lloyd E. Wagner" Two Million Drivers Must Seek Licenses More than two million Illinois motorists have yet to apply for their 1972 license plates with the deadline for having the plates mounted on the vehicles now only a few weeks away, Secretary of State John W. Lewis said this week. The deadline for having the plates on the vehicles, not merely applied for, is midnight Tuesday, Feb. 15. This applies to all vehicles registered on a calendar year basis. Registration at present totals about 1,900,000 less than half of the expected 4,100,000 to be registered by the deadline, but about 75,000 more than were registered at the same time a year ago, Secretary Lewis said. For the entire year, registration of these vehicles will total about 5,000,000. Lewis urged motorists planning to apply for their plates by mail to have their applications in the Secretary of Goodwill To Observe Annual Founder's Day The Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin will observe its annual Founder's Day Wed­ nesday, Jan. 19. The event is commemorated each year on the birth date of the organization's founder, Dr. Edgar J. Helms, who originated the first Goodwill Industries in Boston, Mass., in 1902, to serve the physically handicapped people. In the past seventy years, the Goodwill Industries movement has grown to include 189 major units in the United States and twenty-eight others in foreign countries. In addition, branch and retail operations are conducted in some 1200 ad­ ditional cities. It has an annual payroll of some seventy million serving over 100,000 han­ dicapped people annually.
