/ Twice Told Tal FORTY YEARSAGO /Taken from the files of Jan. 12, 1933) J This week the local branch of •the American Red Cross ".received an allotment of sixty five barrels of flour in 50 to 25 4bs., sacks to be distributed in charity work. Peter M. Justen and Stephen H. Freund have given much of their time to the distribution of the flour in McHenry township. Math Freund, progressive -•business man and implement dealer of McHenry, has .recently purchased the N.S. Colby farm situated on Route 20 •West of McHenry. . Phil Guinto spent three days in Springfield the first of the week where he attended the inauguration of Governor Horner. . On Sunday night thieves paid visits by the wholesale to private garages along Riverside drive where locks .were broken, cars drained of gasoline and tools arid ac­ cessories were stolen. Old landmarks, like old friends, lose their usefulness and pass away. Such has been the case during the past week when the old building com- ;monly known as the Bonslett building, situated at the Creek bridge on Green street, has -been razed by the present .owner, Julius Keg. One of the most ancient landmarks of this city, it is estimated that the structure was built nearly seventy years ago. In 1880 when the population of McHenry numbered only 870 souls, Joe N. Freund lived in the building which he rented from Jacob Bonslett and where Math Freund implement dealer was born. Various uses have been made of the place and it has served as a store, saloon, restaurant and dwelling house. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 15, 1948) Harold "Butch" Justen, son of the Harold Justens who reside on Main street, suffered a broken leg when the sled on which he was riding struck a pole on the public grade school grounds. Joseph Frett and Oscar Hollenbach of Johnsburg have been spending a few days in Minnesota.

The talk he gave was on China. Mrs. Betty Nielsen and daughter, Betty, and Mrs. Harry Durland are spending a few weeks in California. Miss Marjorie Duker, R.N., left Monday for California, where she has accepted a position in a hospital. She had been employed at Cook County hospital, Chicago, since her graduation from the school of nursing there two years ago. American war cemeteries in Europe are beautifully located, well maintained and are deeply respected by the people of the communities in which they are located. This was the report made by Mrs. Norton H. Pearl of Detroit, Mich., last year's national president of the American Legion Auxiliary on her return from a six weeks tour of the cemeteries and battle fields in the European area. She visited cemeteries in England, France, Belgium and Italy.

A TRAGIC WAR "Dear Editor, "The sad part about the bombing of North Vietnam is the loss of fifteen of our B-52 bombers whichig^the direct result of our aSfto the Com­ munist enemiesVltis apparent that our trade with them of parts that make their anti­ aircraft more precise is having the effect of downing more planes, more of our men are becoming POW's and the loss of lives and cost of defense is mounting incredibly in these last days before the surrender of South Vietnam becomes a reality. "You can be assured that wars will not end with the signing of a peace treaty in Vietnam. It will only be a matter of time before our troops will be ordered again, without a declaration of war by Congress, to some other foreign battlefield. "Sincerely, "Mrs. Dorothy Himpelmann" (This is the seventh in a series of reports by the Rev. William Hanner, retired Episcopal pastor, on his travels through the South). MISCELLANEA AT BELOXI, MISSISSIPPI The unexpected amazes, tickles, scares, makes you happy - and may bring sadness to your traveling. To begin - we had not been here long when we were caught in Ocean Springs about dinner time one evening. We were not iressed for going out so an un­ pretentious cafe was indicated. We found it. It Was such fun. When I was asking about a place ,a nicely dressed local resident said, "Why don't you try that little cafe over there? It is not fancy nor well known but a lot of us eat there. It isn't bad at all." Why not? -- something beckoned - in we went. The place was full, a good sign, it was hot - bad sign -- and steamy -- bad also - but the diners were all munching away and this led us to the only vacant booth. They cleared it off and we moved in. Whew! It was hot in there! By this time another table right next was cleared and we moved quickly to get a bit more air. Our booth was preempted by a family, father and mother and four children from six to ten. They were jammed so close to us that I hardly dared raise a Sanka cup (they got me off coffee now) to my lips. Every time a child wiggled, our table wiggled. The two waitresses dashed hither and yon - bearing bowls of soup and surprisingly good and cheap entrees with the side dishes sitting along up their arms--you know the kind. The record player beat, sang, gurgled and choked over in one corner while people came and went. The happy ringing of the cash register kept exclaiming about their satisfaction. Out on the sidewalk in a cleared space a wheezy old truck shivered and belly danced its way over the curb and up alongside the cafe door. Into the cafe strode three enormous men. "Where is it?" they demanded. 1 --n * records the electrical signals that cause the heart to beat.

She was the second oldest and first to die of four sisters whose ages total 382 years. Bishop Loras T. Lane of Rockford spent Sunday in McHenry where he officiated at two impressive Confirmation rites in which 240 boys and girls from the two local parochial schools received Confirmation. Dr. Peter H. Griesbach was elected chief of staff of McHenry hospital by the medical staff at the annual meeting. Dr. Benjamin Massouda was named vice- chief of staff and Dr. Edward F. Wilt, Jr., secretary and treasurjfr. Miss Shirley Mae Dowell of McHeiiry and Mr. Edward J. Geiger of Harvard were married in Zion Lutheran church, McHenry, Jan. 5, in an afternoon nuptial rite. Cadet Robert K. Burns, Jr., of McHenry has been accepted as a member of Wentworth Military academy's chapter of AUSA association of the United States army.. Science Research Associates, Sheridan Road, McHenry, recently acquired the use of a building adjacent to its main office at Erie street. The building will be used for warehousing purposes. The firm is a publisher of educational testing programs and materials for schools and industries. Sudden, Vigorous Exercise May Harm Even Healthy Heart A team of Los Angeles physicians warned recently that sudden, vigorous physical activity without any preceding warm-up exercise may be hazardous to your heart. In a report to the forty-fifth annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart association, Dr. R. James Barnard, speaking for the UCLA School of Medicine research team, said thirty-one of forty-four healthy firemen developed momentary ab­ normalities in their elec­ trocardiograms after plunging abruptly into a strenuous running exercise. However, when the firemen were given prior warm-up exercises, these abnormalities didn't show up. According to Dr. Barnard, neither the state of physical conditioning nor age (the subjects ranged in age from 20 to 50) had anything to do with who turned up with the ab­ normal electrocardiograms. The electrocardiogram UHCOl* FQR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY AUTO •CENSE PLATES COME IN AND PICK YOURS UP...

She couldn't understand it. The above item was unex­ pected and tickled us. - This next item was unex­ pected and made us happy. I picked up the local paper last night and there was a picture of Glen Swetman on the front page. We had stayed at his house our first week in Biloxi. We had been to the Buckley dinner and the symp­ hony as guests of the Swet- mans. He and I had roomed across the hall from each other at the United States Naval academy fifty-one years ago. He had just been elected Biloxi's man of 1972. Congratulation^, busy, generous able Glen.' Unexpected item 3 scared me. The same paper last night said BIG McHENRY TRAIN WRECK.

The meeting will be held in the Lakeland Park Community House, 1717 N. Sunset Drive at 7:30 p.m. The evening meeting is something new for the club. It was felt that the evening meetings would attract more women from the community, as many of them work during the day. Miss., twenty miles away. It was a freight train and no one was hurt. Unexpected item no. 4 will surprise YOU. It is a recipe for ginger cake from Mrs. Jef­ ferson Davis' own cook book that Mrs. Hanner copied when we visited the old historical Davis home Beauvoir on Dec. 20. Mrs. Jefferson Davis' Ginger Cake i cup Molasses 1 cup sugar 1 cup butter 3 eggs 1 wine glass of buttermilk 1 dessert spoon soda Ginger to taste IT salt Flour enough to make a dough. Roll on a board. Cut with a cutter. Bake quickly. I remarked there were no directiomFi about * mixing ingredients nor oven tem­ peratures. Mrs. Hanner withered me. "Any cook would know that!" said she. It is ll&ped that there will be a very large turnout for this meeting and that there will be a lot of new faces joining in the fun. TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Christmas for a family in our community, the Chapmans, was made a lot brighter through the generosity of McHenry residents. Many expressed the true spirit of Christmas, which is "giving". BIRTHDAY CAKES AND CANDLES Jan. 7 is that special day for Barb Meurer and Terry Arroyo. Ron Bierman, Jo Lynn Glosson and Kevin Hahndorf have a circle around Jan. 10. Ed Erb, Jr., celebrates on Jan. 11. ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS The very happiest of an­ niversary greetings go to Leah and Walter Nuss. Their an­ niversary date is Jan. 9. This is number 19 for them. Also, happy anniversary to Gloria and Ken Vanek. They will celebrate on Jan. 10. This will be their twenty-sixth wedding anniversary. L«. j! the l i t t le children "help" make cookies for Christmas. A happy excited, l i t t le face is more rewarding than perfect cookies. A small picture frame around -a cardboard lined with black velvet to display pins and broaches will make an attractive gift for a child to give grandmother. A divided egg poacher is ,ust the thing for heating baby's food. Place the food in the compartments over warm water. Another word of caution about Christmas trees--keep water in the pan of the tree stand and don't leave the lights burning on the tree while away from home. ADULT CLASS Ray Almquist, a practicing, part-time, free-lance writer from Spring Grove, will in­ struct an adult evening class, Spare-time Writing for Pleasure and Profit, at McHenry Community high school.

In underscoring the need for warm-up exercise, Dr. Barnard suggested that these findings may account for the occurrence of some heart attacks in people with normal coronary arteries. Generally, heart attacks happen to people with coronary arteriosclerosis, a hardening and fatty blockade of the hearts own pipelines. But such fatty obstruction is not always found, and the possibility exists that in certain susceptible individuals an abrupt step-up in physical activity might bring about a blood shortage, even if only momentary, to precipitate a heart attack. The UCLA tests were con­ ducted on a treadmill, with the subjects amply wired for measurements of heart func­ tion. One set of tests required subjects who were at rest to jump suddenly on a treadmill set for a thirty percent grade and moving at 9 miles-per- hour, and to run for 10 to 15 seconds. The warm-up which warded off abnormalities consisted of easy jogging in place for at least 2 minutes or walking on the treadmill with a gradual increase in the angle over a 6 to 8 minute period. Dr. Barnard suggests that the average person should jog "very easy" for 4 or 5 minutes before getting into any sudden, strenuous bursts of activity. Associated in the study with Dr. Barnard were Drs. Rex N. MacAlpin, Gerald D. Buckberg and Albert A. Kattus.
