But long before the Inaugural Balls, when the legislative sessions began in December, the creation of new counties was the rhost noteworthy activity of the month. Also, a numbef of" milestones in Abraham Lin­ coln's career bear January dates. The first Inaugural Ball celebrated the swearing in of Gov. John R. Tanner on Jan. 11, 1897, and was held in the State Capitol. The House of Representatives served as the ballroom, the State Library was the banquet hall, and the Senate chamber was used as a promenade. The second Inaugural Ball was not held until 28 years later when Gov. Len Small began his second term, Jan. 12, 1925. It was in the State Arsenal in Springfield and was sponsored by the Hamilton club of Chicago. When Gov. Louis L. Emmerson took office on Jan. 15, 1929 the ball was a very formal affair and the crowd at the Arsenal was estimateclat ten thousand. By the time Gov. Henry Horner was inaugurated for his first term on Jan. 9, 1933, the Great Depression had begun and the governor requested that the ceremonies be made as simple as possible. A "Citizen's committee," however, spon­ sored an informal dan<Se at the Arsenal. When Horner was inaugurated for his second term on Jan. 11, 1937, the economic outlook was evidently brighter because the ball was sponsored by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce. The state Arsenal had burned on Feb. 18,1934, so the celebration returned to the Capitol. An estimated 20,000 guests attended the Inaugural Ball at /the beginning of Gov. Dwight H. Green's first term on Jan. 13. 1941. The main ball was in the new State \Armory, on the old Arsenal site, and there was an auxiliary dance in the Capitol. There was no Inaugural Ball to mark the beginning of Green's second term (Jan. 8, 1945) because of World War II. After the war and with the inauguration of Adlai E. Stevenson on Jan. 10* 1949, .the Inaugural Ball tradition was resumed and some seven thousand danced that night at the Armory. Gov. William,-G. Stratton began both of his terms (Jart. 12, 1953 and Jan>14, 1957) with Inaugural Balls held in the& Armory and private receptions and dinners at the Governor's Mansion. Gov., Otto Kerner repeated this program (on ^an. 9, 1961 and Jan. 11, 1965) and added dancing in the^apitol for the overflow attendance. When Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie took office on Jan. 13. 1969, he introduced a week-long series of inaugural events in­ cluding an inter-faith religious service, a community break­ fast, receptions/luncheons, and an inaugural concert at Or­ chestra hall in ChicagB. There were three Inaugural Balls in Springfield on Jan. 17: at the ArmorylCapitol, and the Holiday nlh East. Before the Constitution of 1848 the legislature met in December. In-that period more new counties weY^chartered in January than in ""Smy other month -- forty-four of^the state's 102. Nin£ central^ Illinois counties can celebrate their birthdays together because they were chartered on the same date, the moslTfbr^ny one day, Jan. 13, 1825./They are Adams, Hancock, Henry, Knox, Mercer, Peoria, Putnam, Schuyler, and Warren. Five northern counties also have the same birth date, Jan. 16, 1836: Kane, McHenry, Ogle, Whitesid^, and Winnebago. Plan Tentative Slate Of SC Club Officers The meeting of the McHenry Senior Citizens Club on Monday evening, Jan. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at Jthe East Campus cafeteria will be a very important one, as the Nominating committee will be making their report and presenting the tentative slate of officers. Anyone who would like to serve as an officer, or know of someone who would like to take an office should contact Lester Baker, France Giel, George Clark, Mrs. Helen Strandquist or Mrs. Lyda Radisch. At the conclusion of the business session of the meeting, the election will be held. It is hoped that more members will become involved and be willing to assume the duties of some of the offices and committees. The program, "Caribbean Cruise," by American Air Lines should be very in­ teresting, and the added at­ traction of information as to how to padk to travel should be of interest and help in getting ready for the next trip. The Obus to the Loop on Wednesday, Jan. 10, will leave the McHenry State bank parking lot at 8:45 a.m. Ringwood Man Claims Bride In Switzerland A wedding of special interest in this community was solemnized in Binhard, Zurich, Switzerland, at 11 o'clock on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 23.

Tips For The Homemaker Pat Sullivan, McHenry County Home Economics Extension adviser, often hears homemakers questioning how to clean the inside of coffee makers. *' She suggests stains a,nd hard water deposits on the ihside of aluminum coffee pots can be removed by using a soap-filled steel wool pad or by perking a pot of water to which one to two tablespoons cream of tartar have been added. To clean aluminum interior or parts, do not use a solution made with baking soda, Chlorine bleach or a water softening agent. Such cleaning solutions cause darkened and pitted surfaces. Also, check the label on coffee stain removers before using on aluminum. Use a commercial coffee cleaner periodically on chrome-plated pots and stainless steel pots and parts to remove accumulated stains which resist regular normal cleaning.
