1WC.K H - FLA1NDEALEB-FRIDAY. APRIL 1. 1977 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 31, 1927> The opening gun in the coming city election campaign was fired Wednesday of this week, when a petition was started on behalf of the can­ didacy of Peter W.

Tl OUR REGULAR MENU ALSO AVAILABLE HILL GOLF A REBUTTAL BY ANITA SHERWOOD Candidate for tha office of Supervisor of Nunda Township, to tho twisted facts and mochino tactics of my opponent for tho of* fico of Supervisor. The following points are true facts: 1. It is a matter of public record that I hold three positions,Township secretary/bookkeeper, Town Clerk and Executive Secretary to the Cemetery Trustees. I have held all 3 positions since 1969 with full approval of the Township Board, C.P.A. and Attorney. I was asked to accept the last two, it was not my idea. 2. The Township Board asked me to run for office of Town Clerk and appointed me to that off fee in February of 1969 when the former Clerk resigned. I was elected in 1969 ond again in 1973. I told the Board a year ago that I did not wish to be a candidate for Town Clerk a 3rd time. 3. My salary this past year was $8,340.00 as secretary/bookkeeper,$1,800.00 as Town Clerk, and $500.00 as Cemetery Executive Secretary, for a grand total of $10,640.00 I received no over-time salary even though I often work 50 hours and more per week. If I had but one job (that of secretary/bookkeeper) I would be better off financially due to the number of hours I work. 4. The Supervisor has two part-time office workers, besides me, and it was a bit of a suprise to them to learn they are so "well paid". They are paid on an hourly basis and receive no vacation pay, no overtime, and no hospitalization and life in­ surance benefits, as do Mr. Rezabek's two full- time employees. He also employs two part-time assistant deputy assessors! 5. No one has mentioned that my assistants and I have saved the township thousands of dollars in C.P.A., Attorney's and County Treasurer and bank fees over the past ten years, not to men­ tion other areas juch as earned interest on short term investments, errors in billings and good bookkeeping practices! We also recouped $2,263.00 in traffic fines from the County for the road district in the past two years! 6. The Republican Party candidates for Supervisor, Assessor, Town Clerk and Highway Com­ missioner have asked for healthy increases in salary! The Assessor alone has asked for a $5,000.00 yearly increase over the incumbent! 7. Do you know that Nunda Township Assessor Frank J. Rezabek, Jr. is the only Assessor in McHenry County who has a full time deputy assessor at a cost of close to $10,000.00 a year! Why when both Algonquin and McHenry Town­ ships have about 5,000 more parcels of proper­ ty? 8. Knowing that I could not support and vote for Mr. Rezabek I had no recourse but to file as an Independent in order to oppose him for the of­ fice of Supervisor. The choice not to be on his ticket was mine as I would not have accepted if asked. Is the public aware that Mr. Rezabek and a few committeemen "dumped" the incumbent Supervisor Harold Freese without the knowledge of most of the remaining 16 commit­ teemen? 9. is the Republican Party aware that Frank J. Rezabek, Jr., current Assessor of Nunda and the Party's candidate for Supervisor, ran for office of Assistance Supervisor of Nunda Township on the PEOPLE'S PARTY ticket in 1965 and lost! 10.1 am a registered Republican and will remain so in spite of Mr. Rezabek and his machine tactics. Hopefully this is still a free country and I will not be intimidated and coerced. The choice is mine not his! As Supervisor I will continue to represent all people of Nunda Township fairly and impartially and will not be prejudiced by party affiliations.

Si A fire, which threatened all of the buildings on the premises, totally destroyed the garage and its contents on the D A. Whiting farm, between McHenry and Ringwood, early Sunday morning. A practically new Paige sedan and an Elgin car. which were in the garage were completely burned and the chicken house and corner of the barn were badly scorched and damaged. The McHenry town team nosed out the Wauconda tive in the closing minutes of play after trailing at the half and at the third quarter. Wauconda led at the half 19-13 but the locals tied it up in a hurry at the start of the half. McHenry came through in the last quarter that gave them a lead they never relinquished. Bacon and Whiting proved to be the scoring aces while Marty Conway played a whale of a game at guard. FORTY YEARSAGO . (Taken from the files of April 1, 1937) "Agony in the Garden" a painting appropriate to the Easter season painted by Jack Keenan, decorative artist of McHenry, is on exhibition in the window of the Carey Electric shop and is attracting con­ siderable attention and ad­ miration by its appropriate beauty at the Easter time.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 6, 1967) About 5,200 voters went to the polls in eighteen McHenry township precincts this week Tuesday to re-elect a super­ visor and two assistant supervisors and name a new highway commissioner. Walter Dean was returned to office as supervisor, and taking office with him were Assistant Supervisors Edward Buss und Thomas Huemann. By a margin of 536 votes, Clarence Regner, a previous candidate for the same office, won sup­ port to be elected highway commissioner. McHenry residents took more than ordinary interest in the tragedy that took the lives of nine Juda, Wis., high school senior girls when they learned that the school superintendent is Jerome Kalk, a former teacher in the local high school. Mr. Kalk and his wife, the former Jayne Dean of McHenry, spent Easter Sunday there and then proceeded to New Orleans, La., to act as cbaperones for the class trip. TV viewers heard from Mr. Kalk a detailed description of the events foUowing the plane crash into a motel where the students were staying and the fire which killed nine students. The Mental Health referendum won support of voters by 190 in McHenry township's eighteen precincts last Tuesday and also squeezed through in the total county vote, which was 8,519 to 8,065. The McHenry totals were 2,570 in favor and 2,380 opposed. A-l HEARING AID SERVICE Free Loaners - Complete Servicejjn all Makes Custom Earmolds - 30 Day Trial on New Aids Try Before You Buy!

"QUALITY BUILDINGS SINCE 1925" "We are proud to honor two people who are typical in so many ways of the finest in community newspapering," said Robert E. Best, president of the IPA and publisher of the Moultrie County News, Sullivan "They are typical of thousands of husBand-wife teams who work in com­ munities throughout the nation serving and protecting the interests of their readers. They are typical also of the kind of courage many of these com­ munity newspaper editors exhibit daily in the course of their work. We are pleased to be able to honor them and their accomplishments." . The Russells published ac­ counts of misdeeds in the office of DeWitt Sheriff Keith V. Long. A special prosecutor was appointed and a grand jury investigation is under way. The stories appeared in December simultaneously in the Russells' paper, the DeWitt County Observer, and the Chicago Daily News. The stories broke while Charles Russell was dying of cancer. Despite his illness, he maintained an active in volvement in the stories^ with Virginia and their reporters He directed their work and edited their stories even from his hospital bed. When he died early in January, Virginia delayed the funeral until Thursday, the day after the Observer and the Russells' other paper, the Farmer City Journal, were published. "His main aim in life was to get these newspapers out, and if we in­ terrupted that now in any way, he would be very unhappy, Virginia explained. Charles had often told his staff, "If anybody here is going to die, we'll just step over them until we get out the papers CHURCH HISTORY -- Mrs. Marian Krai accepts a booklet depicting the history, doctrines and sacraments of the Episcopal church from her pastor, the Rev.
