McHenry Tire Mart 3931 W. MAIN ST. 385-0294 u/ Illinois "Burns" On July 4 100 Years Ago Most Illinoisans celebrated the Fourth of July, 1874, with picnics and fireworks, but the big event of that day was the opening of the Illinois and St. Louis bridge-the Eads bridge across the Mississippi. The two most discussed subjects in a sampling of the 110 newspapers for the period in the Illinois State Historical library' were the heat wave and the bridge The Rock Island Argus reported that "the day was unpleasantly hot," the Peoria Daily Transcript said "the heat was intense and dust covered everything," but the Bloomington Pantagraph found that "most Bloomingtonians staid sensibly at home and exercised their minds in meeting the second Saturday of the month, July 13, will be held at our beach with the weather permitting All residents are cordially invited!

Have a nice Fourth of July holiday and be careful driving if you plan on traveling anywhere! devising means for keeping their bodies cool." • The Pantagraph also reported the mercury in St. Louis "standing for hours at 104 in the shade and not a breath of air stirring " The heat did not discourage the visitors, however, a^id the Illinois State Journal of Springfield said that "the vast net work of railroads centering at St. Louis was covered with excursion trains It is believed that not less than 100,000 persons were present." The Peoria Daily Transcript reported that "Tne formal opening of the Illinois and St Louis bridge was celebrated with great pornp and display. The procession was joined by all the military' and civic organizations . . It was about twelve miles long (and) five hours passing/ the speakers stand."' The bridge was christened with water from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes- poured from silver pitchers. The first of the dedication speakers on the platform at the east end of the structure was Illinois Gov. John L. Beveridge. He was followed by the governors of Missouri and Indiana and by Capt. James B. Eads, designer of the bridge. The only disappointment of the celebration was the evening's fireworks display which was dwarfed by the size of the bridge and won' unanimous newspaper criticism. The most caustic account was printed by the Bloomington Pantagraph, which said that "The bridge fireworks were a first class fraud . . . The only sight aside from the bridge itself worth seeing was the vast crowd; all the rest was little else than humbug." Most of the state's other citizens went to the "grand old woods" for picnics. The crowds, the Rock Island Argus stated, were "variously estimated from 2,000 to 5,000, according to the magnifying power of the glasses worn." At those gatherings where there was a speaker's stand the reading ofJjMe Declaration of Independence was an essential part of the program' Other essentials of the day's festivities were fireworks of all kinds - but they were unanimously condemned by the newspapers. The Chicago Evening Journal said "The^~ Mayor issued a proclamation against the use of fireworks in the city on the Fourth. The order was unheeded by every 'little shaver' in town. Now. the query is: Who runs the city--the Mayor, the aldermen, or the small boys?" On another page, the same paper carried the story of a 13- year-old boy killed by a homemade "volcano" and a long list of those injured in other incidents. The Peoria * Transcript reported that "At Pontiac a fire caused by a fire crackpr entirely destroyed the Phoenix hotel, the court house, with all the records of the county, and the union block, the finest in the town, containing seven large stores." And the Rock Island Argus told of a fire "believed to have been from firecrackers" that destroyed "three new two-story wooden houses." DIES ON JOB An autopsy was scheduled to be performed by the County Coroner to determine the cause of the death of Donald J. Peterson, 36, of 1718 N. Route 23, Marengo, who was found dead in the attic of a home at 21116 Route 20, Marengo. Peterson had been summoned to service and repair an air ccnditioner in the residence. He arrived about noon Thursday and when a co-worker stopped by at 3:15 to assist him, he found Peterson dead in the attic. v WHO WOULD 6UY A SILENT ALARM CLOCK 7 SOMEONE WHO IS OUT OF WORK \\ «i w Quality oi survival ISSfc; Walter Carroll, M.D., professor of surgery, Northwestern University School of Medicine, announced that representatives from thirty-nine hospitals attended a conference on cancer registries in Chicago recently, sponsored by the American College of Surgeons and the American Cancer society.

Such results can be brought to life only through careful compilation of adequate clinical records covering the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of patients with the disease. A cancer registry can be described as the "mirror" which can reflect to the hospital how well it is diagnosing and treating cancer. Dr Carroll emphasized that the cancer registry program throughout the United States is becoming an increasingly effective force in stimulating progress in cancer control, and its impact is greatest in the place where it is most needed, namely, in the general hospital. Local Hospital Represented At Cahper Conference A Cancer Registries conference, held at the American Hospital association in Chicago, was aimed at bettering cancer control in Illinois by expanding cancer registry programs to improve the measurement of he quality of cancer diagnosis and treatment in institutions here. Because the history of cancer, both before and after treatment, may spread over many years, it is necessary that the cancer patient be kept under physician surveillance for a longer period of time than with other diseases.

Each contestant was interviewed by Larry Leafblad of WKRS, who acted as master of ceremonies. The blonde little girl above is Jill Freund.
