An unusual offering of WJJD and WEBH, America's twin radio stations, was heard through the WJJD transmitter Dec. 16 when Clara Clemens, daughter of the late Mark Twain, appeared in scenes from "Joan of Arc" written by her- father and in which she is now touring the country. She has assembled a supporting cast in keeping with the production, which is staged by Paul Stephenson, widely known American producer. It is this last fact which makes the above article of special interest to our readers as Paul Stephenson, who directed and produced this play, was born and raised in Ringwood, 111. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stephenson of Ringwood where as a boy he was always interested in putting on plays and "staging shows" out in the old hayloft. By special favor of the Rt. Rev. P.J. Muldoon, in an­ ticipation of the double jubilee of the parish next June, 1927, and as a special dedication of the new decorations in the church, Christmas midnight Mass will be celebrated at the St. John the Baptist church at Johnsburg. At 11, 11:30 and midnight the church bells will call the faithful for the divine service. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 24, 1936) John A. Bolger was re­ elected president of the McHenry County Cooperative association for the eighth consecutive year at the annual meeting of the association held at Woodstock Dec. 12. The association, with headquarters at McHenry and a plant also at Crystal Lake, had a satisfac­ tory year's business, paying an 8 percent stock dividend and a 4 percent patronage refund for the year. Because of the improvement in local conditions, the town­ ship relief association will not give out charity baskets this year for the first time since the depression. Nearly everyone is working this year and con­ ditions have rapidly improved over those of the past few years when truckloads of Christmas baskets were delivered to those in need of provisions. A long threatening comes at last, we beat Woodstock, beat them 42 to 41, on our local floor last Friday night in as thrilling a basketball game as you will see in many a moon. With fingers crossed, McHenry fans watched and waited through many contests in recent years, hoping against odds that our boys would take the mighty men from the west down the line. The boys put their hearts in their task Friday night and played basketball in praise worthy fashion. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 27, 1951) Lt. Robert O. Jensen, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Reiker of Weingart's subdivision, McHenry, has been assigned to Amarillo Air Force baae, Tex., as adjutant of the 333th air installation squadron, Col. Ray H. Clark, base commander, has announced. Lt. Jensen was transferred to Amarillo from Illinois and has been a member of the Air Force since June, 1945. He is a graduate of the McHenry Community high school and a former employee of the McHenry Plaindealer. Residents of the McHenry community need no sales talk for the approaching March of Dimes drive, which gets under way after the new year througout the nation. This year ther^were forty-two cases in this county and McHenry was far in the lead with number reported.(One of the two deaths was of a McHenry child, Carol Ann Reiiiboldt, 10 years old. The McHenry Township Kiwanis club, in cooperation with a program outlined by the recreation department of the Great Lakes Naval Training station, will be host to sixty servicemen returned from the Korean battle grounds in the near future. The returned American boys will be received by the local Kiwanians, their wives and a few friends, as space will permit at LaGreca's Lake View Inn, Wonder Lake. Harold J. Fox of Johnsburg was elected president of the McHenry County Deputy Sheriffs' association held on Dec. 19. Other officers elected include Roger Hansen of Wonder Lake, vice-president. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 29, 1966) Alfred P. Regner, Jr., son of Alfred P. Regner of the Volo area, has been named a Peace Corps volunteer after com­ pleting thirteen weeks of training by the University of Pennsylvania at Camp Shawnee in the Pocono mountains. Al's group of fifty left for India on Dec. 13 and worked in the western state of Gujarat. Their assignment is to promote the use of hybrid seed and work in basic nutrition, vegetable gardening and poultry. They will be assigned to rural villages. Sgt. James Toepper leaves this week for his third trip to Vietnam in little more than two years. The young serviceman arrived unexpectedly Christmas night and surprised his wife, who resides in Chicago, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Toepper of 2617 Apache drive, McHenry. McHenry will hold its fifth annual Twelfth Night tree burning ceremony in the for­ mer Legion lot on Green street next Friday evening, Jan. 6. This year's event will take place at 7:30 o'clock. Because it falls on a night when stores are open, a large crowd is ex­ pected. A petition has been filed for Royal and Neva Raven requesting a conditional use classification from "F" far­ ming district in order to operate a motorcycle track. The property is located east of River road about three miles south of the city. r p* * * * * * * BICENTENNIAL BYPATHS _ QUI COUNTRY ?00YIARS AGO An account of Christmas at Salem, N.C., December 24,1776, reports that Christ­ mas service began at five o'clock Christmas Eve for the children, with written Christmas verses and lighted candles. After that, a service for older Brethren and Sisters, including the people who were spending the night in the local tavern. *0dingsofJ5>uf' from our family to yours at Christmas MMWI HALM'S WONDER LAKE FUNERAL HOME 7611 Hancock Dr. Wonder Lake YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Human Vaccine For Puppies: Combination Protection Against Canine Distemper Canine distemper is a dreaded disease that occurs most often in puppies. By 12 weeks of age, the average pup is very likely to have been exposed to canine distemper -- CD, as your veterinarian calls it. Symptoms of canine distemper are similar to thosfe of an upper respiratory ailment. A runny nose, flat and dry cough and loss of appetite are the first signs. This is followed by a high tem­ perature, vomiting, a white crusty material around the eyes and nose, thirst and diarrhea. If secondary in­ fection sets in, there may be muscular twitching, con­ vulsions or paralysis. Canine distempter is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus that is carried through the air. It is more common in the colder months, although a pet may contract the disease in any weather. The infection can be spread very quickly by the sick dog or by the people caring for it. Even a cough or sneeze from an infected animal or windblown germs from the urine of a pet with distemper can spread the infection. To prevent distemper, it is important to have your pup vaccinated as soon as it comes into your home and to follow with booster shots at intervals set up by your veterinarian. Puppies receive what are known as maternal antibodies from their mother's milk. These antibodies temporarily protect the pup from specific diseases which the motner is immune to. If the mother has distemper immunity, for example, she will pass on distemper antibodies. If the the antibody level is high enough, it will neutralize the effects of vaccination. From six to 12 weeks of age as the pup is weaned and becomes fairly active, it runs an increased risk of exposure to canine distemper. This in­ creased risk happens at the same time the pup is losing the antibody protection which it received from its mother. At six weeks of age, about half of all pups lose their maternal antibodies; by 12 weeks, almost all dogs are susceptible to canine distemper. Researchers have discovered thaf~hmnaj» measles virus will protect puppies between six and 12 weeks of age from canine distemper and will be unaffected by the pup's maternal antibodies of distemper. The distemper- measles concept for distemper protection has been perfected in a vaccine which is capable of protecting pups against distemper better than ever before, whether or not maternal antibodies are present. Your veterinarian can give you details about this vaccine. The death rate from distemper is high, and many pets that survive are disabled. Blindness in one or both eyes may result from discharges affecting the cornea. Similar discharges sometimes leave the animal deaf or without the sense of smell. Permanent damage to the nervous system may cause chorea (twitching) for the rest of the pet's life. If there is a case of distemper in your neighborhood, keep away from the house and everyone in it. Even a short visit from a member of the family with the diseased pet could carry the virus to your pet If your dog should suffer an attack of distemper, good nursing care will be vital to bring him through. Your pet should be kept quiet and isolated in clean, warm and dry quarters. Simple foods such as beef broth and coddled egg may be given in small amounts. Your pet may need to be spoon­ fed several times a day. Follow the advice of your veterinarian concerning medicines and treatment. Dec. 27 Opens Filing For Nunda Township Candidates interested in filing nomination papers for the offices to be filled at the April 5 Nunda township election may file at the office of the township clerk, 95 Grant street.

Officials to be elected are supervisor, town clerk, assessor, road com­ missioner and four trustees The latter official was formerly known as township auditor Canine distemper is a dreaded disease that can usually be prevented. Booster shots at prescribed intervals will keep your pet's immunity at a high level so it can resist infection. See your veterinarian. Distemper is much easier to prevent than to treat. . Dr. Stear regrets that he is unable personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems.
