TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 4, 1947) George Kiddelson, 66, of McCullom Lake, was taken to the Woodstock hospital in critical condition early Monday as the result of an accident which occurred on the Ringwood road. He was driving south and failed to see a turn and his car crossed the in­ tersection and crashed into a culvert. Dan Weber was one of two boys from McHenry county to be honored by being chosen by the County champion 4-H baseball team of Huntley to accompany them to Cham­ paign to compete in a state wide tourney. Thomas Thonneson pur­ chased the Emerald Park school building and property on which it stands for $810 at public auction sale. Elliot Robinson of Ingleside, photographer for the Daily News, pictured one representative boy and even his MARKET PLACE SHOPPING CENTER HI-BROW MOUNTAIN HOUSE (Hie following account of his recent trip to Tennessee is given by the Rev. William O. Hanner of 810 N. Oakwood drive, McHenry. Father Hanner is the retired vicar of the Church of the Holy Com­ forter, Kenilworth.) Monteagle, And Parts Of Tennessee About Sewa nee Now is the time of year when America takes to its cars and hies off across the country either near or far for ad­ venture, vacation or visiting. Of course, you can combine any two or all three. My wife and I have just donetthis very thing. We left McHenry one Monday in late July at 4 a.m. The fogs that on occasion beset the Fox Valley followed us south into Indiana, where we picked up U.S. 65. This is the great road to the south and southeast from Chicago. It is four-laned and divided. In northern Indiana it is unbeautiful but nature provided a violent electric storm for us after daylight. These storms were sweeping the midwest at that time and for forty-five minutes we drove through one of the wildest of nature's efforts. The lightning was constant, the rain torrential. There was no place to stop and so we drove on, finding our protection in slower speed but moving. It is easy to get through In­ dianapolis and Louisville on this route. You go over, around and through the; cities. At noon we stopped at the first oasis south erf Louisville for a picnic lunch which Mrs. Hanner had packed for us. It was awfully hot, the oasis was bare of shade or picnic facilities so we pic­ nicked in our air conditioned car. Not so roomy but it works just fine. The last time we had gone over this road it had been winter and there was one of those rare days of glare ice. On that occasion we had made 38 miles in a morning. Half way through Kentucky, just off our route, is a great wonder of America. This is great "cave" country. Here we find Mammoth Cave. Near Mammoth Cave, at Park City, is one of our favorite stopping places on Florida trips. It sits on a hill overlooking a rich valley. There is a small railroad through the grounds. Children and adults l^ye a trip to see the sites the train provides. A small cave, a view from a point over the valley and the hotel's golf course, the ringing signal and flashing lights as the model of an an­ cient engine pulls over a path or road the hotel uses. At Sewanee, near Monteagle, Tenn., the University of the South, with its beautiful buildings, mountain top site and 10,000 acre "desmaine" awaited us. It was our goal, for near here the Rev. Father and Mrs. Feaster, old time friends from Florida days, are building their "now and then" house. NOW you summer in it, THEN you retire to it. From the Feasters' front porch you oeueuld look out over six ranges of Tennessee mountains. Perhaps on a real clear day you could have seen into Georgia or Alabama. People are building homes like this all through the mountains. Our land is filling up. Like one little boy once said, "Isn't there any place where people aint?" The Feasters have designed their own mountain hquse, they call it the Hi-Brow. It is really ten-sided I think. There is an upstairs and a down. Two rooms--but what rooms. Downstairs is almost all master bedroom, but I am glad they have a small room where there are bunk beds. I hope we can be "bunked" there on occasion. There is,of course, a complete bath. Upstairs there is another single room, taking up the whole floor but such a wise use of space. The room centers in a mid-floor fireplace of field stone. The kitchen is a well planned space or area-- every thing is in the open-it kind of reminds you of a "modern" but old fashioned "country kitchen" where the kitchen was large and was a living room for the whole house. I recall such a kitchen on a boyhood farm. There is a second full bath upstairs. I am glad to say it does not share the pub­ licity of the kitchen. Much of the walls are windows but both up and downstairs the inner walls are "board and battin" con­ struction. It is an old fashioned idea that came in just after log cabins. Most of the upstairs is giving room and a dining area, 'here is an outdoor deck shaded by an ancient tree. The exterior is of the hills, the lower half of field stone con­ struction, the upper floor of perpendicular siding in a "natural barn finish" a soft and pleasant grey. You will notice, if you have eyes for those things, the soft and gracious greys of woods and forests - it is so natural that we do not think of it and notice only the greens. And all about are the mountains and the woods and the birds and wild flowers, the common type that folk call weeds - but which if cultivated and fed we would see in florist shops, Queen Anne's Lace, Butterfly Weed, Brown Eyed Susans, Chickery, Blue Wart and seas of field daisies. Travel! As you travel keep your eyes open. The Bible says, "he that hath ears to hear, let him hear." We might paraphrase that to "him that hath eyes to see let him see! For these mountains are of the Cumberland Range, they are known to naturalists as having some of the most magnificient butterflys, birds and flowers in all the temporate zone. (The second part of Father Hanner's story will appear next Wednesday.) elusive dream in a picture appearing in last Tuesday evening's addition of that newspaper. The little boy is Danny Adams, 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Adams of Pistakee Bay, who daydreams in the classroom as his little sister, Dottie, 5, earnestly looks at her color book. Danny's dream appears high in the picture, the image of himself, suntanned and carefree with his dog, Pugsy, happily enjoying a little fishing on Sullivan Lake. The scene was typical of the day dreams of many another Child this week. At a summer festival for the benefit of Christ the King Mission at Wonder Lake, Miss Delores Wilde, 19, of Wonder Woods, was announced queen, "Miss Wonder Lake." TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 6, 1962) McHenry's historic old bridge which for many years was the only means of crossing the Fox river until construction of the new state bridge has taken on a new look^ It has been improved by scraping and wire brushing, followed by a rust proof undercoating and a coat of aluminum paint. The entire project was accomplished at a cost of $5,750, which came from county highway road funds. This money is realized through PAGE 11- payment of real estate and personal property taxes. There was much excitement among Plaindealer employees last Friday evening when Business Manager and Mrs. Larry Lund welcomed their second child and first daughter, Margo Elizabeth. She was born at Memorial hospital. The Ringwood Methodist church was the setting for a beautiful late summer wedding on Sept. l, when Miss Karen Linda Thompson of McHenry became the bride of Mr. Geoffrey S. Moss of McHenry. Rev. Brennehan officiated at the service. The women of the Com­ munity Methodist church will cook and serve a tasty dinner Sept. 19 with serving from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The dinner will honor Larry Thomas who has been ill and confined to his bed for several months. Margaret J. Moore, 92, mother of Mrs. E.G. Siemon of S h a l i m a r s u b d i v i s i o n , McHenry, died Sept. 4 in Memorial hospital. She had resided in the Siemon home for fifteen years. Conversational Gambit? "Where have you been for the last two hours?" "Talking to a girl." "What did she say?" "No!" ' • • L "Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 1, 1932) In a collision with an ice truck at the intersection of Waukegan and Green streets the car owned and operated by Mrs. Lillian Cox was badly wrecked. Hie driver escaped with a few scratches. About thirty old friends from the Chicago postoffice sur­ prised Mr. and Mi?. Chas. J. Watrouse at their cottage on the river. They indulged in games, boating and swimming and at the end of a perfect day voted McHenry and the Fox River were a splendid com­ bination few enjoyment. St. Peter's Catholic church, Spring Grove, is willed $500 with other beneficiaries being the three children in the will of Nickolas N. Weber, who was slain at Lily Lake on Aug. 7. About seventy-five guests gathered at the John Aylward cottage east of Fox river, M o n d a y e v e n i n g f o r a delightful lawn party. Music and dancing on the lawn fur­ nished amusement for the guests with the old time dances as well as the modern ones. A carload of flour was received at Woodstock this week to be distributed by the Red Cross to the needy throughout the county. Through the kindness and assistance of Peter M. Justen and Stephen H.
