For some weeks past the promoters of the plan have been negotiating options on land in the vicinity referred to and a few days ago purchases were closed for a number of farms. The total acreage amounts to 1,668, which has now been closed up for pur­ chase and on which payments have been made. E.R. Hoy, president, and Theo. Hamer, secretary of the Crystal Lake Development company, are the men who are taking a leading part in the deal. It is said that other financial interests are back of the plan. Many improvements were being made in the city. The Theodore Schiessle building in West McHenry is undergoing some repairs and im­ provements. A new front is being built by John Weber and a new cement sidewalk is being made by the Artificial Stone Co. Peter J. Freund of Woodstock is making some needed repairs on the building occupied by Walter Freund on Main street. The roof is being covered with fireproof shingles and other repairs will be made to make it more comfortable for winter weather. The Boy Scouts organization in McHenry has been com­ pleted. S.M. Lucas of Terra Cotta and Robert Weber, McHenry, have been appointed scoutmasters. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 8, 1936) The McHenry Country Club, whose 18-hole golf course is the most popular recreation center in McHenry, has completed another successful season with approximately 7,500 players having registered during the season, in addition to the membership of about 161 golfers. The first frost of the season occurred last Thursday night when the mercury dropped to the freezing mark, bringing the first warning of the ap­ proaching winter season. When a Democratic picnic committee awards a wonderful prize to a Republican precinct committeeman, that's news. i - a > 1 ^ „ 302 CEDAR LAKE RD. > DldSS ROUND LAKE, : w h 6 6 l 3 1 2 / 5 * 4 6 - 5 5 5 1 | Casual *J^LnLng and docHtai[± ROAST LONG ISLAND DUCK ! 1 WITH ORANGE SAUCE, WILD A • AP !

Mrs. O'Shea is the daughter of Ray Conway, the GOP committeeman, who profited by the generosity of the Democrats at the picnic Sun­ day. Peter M Justen has returned from a trip to Denver, Colo., where he also spent some time at Evergreen in the mountains and at Colorado Springs. Mr. Justen was there during the big snowstorm which was most unusual fo£ that time of year and was the first occurrence of the kind in sixty-four years. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 11, 1951) The McHenry community in all probability will have some * excellent farmers in future years as the result of the op­ portunities now being afforded young men in their 'teens with an inclination toward this type of work. Early this fall, W.E. Pictor. vocational agriculture instructor met with C.H. Dukor and the high school board of education to discuss the ad­ visability of establishing an advisory council for the M c H e n r y v o c a t i o n a l agriculture department. An enviable record of 125 years of service to their church will be realized next Monday by two former McHenry residents, Sister Johanna and Sister Baptista (Catherine and Margaret Freund) who on Oct. 15 observe the isxty-fifth an­ niversary of their entrance into the convent. Sister Johanna is now 84 and Sister Batista 81 years old. The public is again reminded of the two open house dates at Edgebrook school, the first this (Thursday) evening, Oct. 11, between 7:30and9 p.m. and the second next Sunday, Oct. 14, between 2 and 5 p.m. The Knights of Columbus announce that the third Holy Hour to be held Wednesday evening, Oct. 17, at 8 p.m. will be at St. Peter's church in Spring Grove. The council urges the families of members to participate in these special hours of prayer for peace. Now you can make a Long Distance call to any other state in the United States for less than you'd pay for an ice cream cone. 1 If you've eaten any ice cream cones lately, you know it's pretty hard to get one for less than a quarter. Yet for only 21C or less you can make a Long Distance call to any other state in the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) with our new one-minute weekend rate. That's 21C or less for the first minute. 16C or less for each additional minute. And all you have to do is dial direct and call on the weekend--anytime Saturday or before 5 p.m. Sunday. Look at it this way. Isn't a Long Distance phone call to your family or friends worth the price of an ice cream cone? Illinois Bell TEN YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 13, 1966) Last Monday night at the regular meeting of District 15, the school board again discussed the referendum set for Dec. 10 of this year. The referendum is set to seek 21 cents for the education fund, 5 cents for transportation and 5 cents for the building fund. These increases in taxation powers are sought because of increased costs in all aspects of the school operation. The tentative motion was passed as the special meeting held Sept. 27. The county board of super-, visors acted Tuesday of this week to approve the new budget and appropriation and also theJljpiual levy. The ap­ propriation was in the amount Of $2,872,959, just $911,441 higher than the $1,961,515 ap­ propriated last year. At a special meeting of the board of High School District 156 held Monday evening, members unanimously voted to change a prior decision con­ cerning the new high school and to assign juniors and seniors to this building. A proposed three acre development of downtown McHenry has been announced by McHenry Savings and Loan association. It will include a complex of seven retail stores, a restaurant and three-story office building totaling 34,700 square feet of operational space. An adjacent parking lot, within a crescent formed by the buildings will accommodate 150 cars. The development will be bounded on the east by Green street, on the north by Elm street, and on the south and west by curving Boone creek. At a special meeting of the City Council Monday night, a contract was awarded to H.J Curran Contracting co., of Crystal Lake to surface Green street from Main street south to Anne street.

Infantino will receive a Doctorate from the University of Chicago in the near future and begins duties as an Episcopal chaplain at Great Lakes this month. At a coffee reception after the service, the minister mingled with the parishioners and answered their questions. Continue Unrestricted Production Of Grain The Secretary of Agriculture announced there will be no cropland set-aside in 1977. This decision followed the con­ clusion of a two-day meeting of the National Advisory Com­ mittees on Grains and Cotton. The secretary said the decision for continued unrestricted production is based on the continuing strong export demand for grain, particularly for livestock feeding, soybeans, and cotton. Under the 1973 farm act, far­ mers have been given freedom to shift crops without restrictive acreage allotments. The Secretary said that far­ mers like the freedom for decision-making that exists under current programs. • In view of projected large supplies of wheat in 1977, many wheat farmers are now making hard decisions in regard to better alternatives to planting wheat, comments by com­ mittee members indicate. On Aug. 23 the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced an accelerated program for new Public Law 480 wheat export agreements for the next fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 and that greater emphasis would be placed on wheat in the Com­ modity Credit Corporation short term export credit program in the new fiscal year.
