SECTION 2-PAGE4- PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. MAY 27. 1977 m M Twice Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 26. 1927) The rainy weather has been anything but favorable for the continuance of the road work but the men were able to work all day Wednesday and hope to complete the short stretch of cement on Waukegan street between the Overton & Cowen garage corner and the railroad tracks this week. The remaining stretch of Route 20. between the railroad tracks and its connection with the old slab at the top of Sherman's hill will be open for travel this Saturday noon. This will be welcome news to tourists who have been using the detour around McCullom Lake for several months, and a great accommodation for the extra travel which comes at the • holiday occasioned by Memorial day. On Monday, May 30. the local Legion post has arranged a program at the Community high school auditorium, to start at 10o'clock a.m. The post feels very fortunate in having ob­ tained Mr. James Welch of W aukegan as the speaker of the day. Mr. Welch was formerly state's attorney for Lake county and is counted as one of the closest friends of the Legion cause. A special election will be held in the second ward in the city of McHenry on Tuesday, May 31. for the purpose of selecting an alderman from that ward to fill a vacancy. The only name to appear on the ballot as can­ didate is that of Raymond S. Howard. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 27, 1937) And speaking of birthdays - the McHenry Plaindealer will celebrate another anniversary this week when it will be sixty- two years old. Older and wiser we grow as the years roll around, learning from ex­ perience many things that we should have done and many things that we should have not done, but always we have made everv effort possible to serve the public to the best of our ability and maintain a standard of cooperation with our readers and subscribers which we will . endeavor to continue. Donald Weingart, a pupil of St. Mary school, and a member of the safety patrol has been selected by the Chicago Motor club as the outstanding patrol boy of McHenry county for 1936-37. As a result of Donald's activity as a patrol boy, he has been presented with a lovely plaque indicating his merit. Claire Whiting, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Whiting, who is attending Marmion Military academy at Aurora, has the honor of having the highest average of the 124 freshmen attending the college this year. Mrs. Fred C. Schoewer at­ tended the fourteenth biennial state convention of the Catholic Daughters of America at LaSalle the last of the week. McHenry's ball team went over io Volo last Sunday and took a sound trimming. The more experienced array of talent trotted forth by Volo proved too strong for the local boys who are working hard to make the grade as ball players. The score was 16 to 1. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 5, 1952) The first officers of the village of Lakemoor have been established as the result of the election which took place June 3 at the Bible church in that community. The Progressive party, headed by Claude F. McDermott for president, was successful except in two in­ stances, where trustees were elected from the Voters League party. Others on his party to be elected were Theodore Budil for village clerk, Joseph Yaeger for police magistrate, Lorain Booster, Raymond Cynowa, Clifford Kiehl and Henry Wojtas for village trustees. On the Voters' League ticket James F. Wall and Mary Schiavone won trustees posts.

It was all Shamrocks in the Memorial Day game at the V.F.W. park last Friday. Sonny Miller started for the Shamrocks but was taken out at the end of three innings with the score 18 to 0. He was being saved for the Woodstock game. The Shamrocks beat the Merchants 25-5. The Shamrocks will be host team in the District Baseball tourney starting June 12 at the V.F.W. diamond. The Johnsburg tigers, riding high on a victory wave, bumped into trouble in their holiday game and lost a 6 to 2 decision to Richmond TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files pf June 1, 1967) Miss Ellen Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M.F. Clark of McHenry, returned recently from Malaysia, where she spent two years with the Peace Corps. Miss Clark is a graduate of Clarke college in Dubuque, la., with a BA degree in history and of Columbia university with a Master's degree in journalism. Howard V. Phalin, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Field Educational Enterprises Corp., a former McHenry resident, delivered the graduation address Memorial day at St. Procopius college, Lisle. The college ^presented Phalin with an honorary doctor of laws degree. He is a member of the college's board of trustee. Michael Rex Hester will receive a Bachelor of Arts (magna cum laude) degree and Dean R. Kennebeck will receive his Bachelor of Science (cum laude) degree at Loras college commencement exercises June 4. Gary Vycital was one of twenty-seven seniors from the College of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn., who received fellowships, scholarships or assistantships for graduate and professional school next year.

During that same ten-year period, six times as many Americans were killed by arunk drivers. From 1961 to 1971, 274,000 U.S. citizens died in vehicular crashes involving alcohol! In fact, alcohol is a factor in half of all highway fatalities. In the United States, nearly 100 million people over the age of 21 drink alcoholic beverages, at least occasionally. In one year, these 100 million men and women consume about 170 million gallons of wine, 275 million gallons of "hard" liquor (whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, etc.) and 1,600 million gallons (100 million barrels) of beer. And, did you know that, medically, alcohol is a drug? It depresses your central nervous system as a general anesthetic, slowing the activity of your brain and spinal cord. Your body does not digest alcohol as it does food. The alcohol you drink is absorbed directly from your stomach and intestines into your bloodstream. This absorption takes place rapidly, especially if your stomach is empty. What often happens, then, is that people who have "had a few", will drive. Even the "social drinker", who thinks he's all right and not affected by the alcohol, is dangerous behind the wheel. He is, after all, driving while his central nervous system is depressed and his brain activity is slowed down. And, the "problem drinker", who has a record of arrests for offenses involving alcohol, is an even bigger problem. This type of drinker is responsible for two-thirds of the fatalities involving alcohol. All fifty states, plus the District of Columbia, have laws against driving while under the influence of alcohol. In most states whether you are "under the influence" is determined by your Blood Alcohol Con­ centration (B.A.C.). In all but two states, you are presumed to be intoxicated if you B.A.C. is 10 percent or higher. (In Utah and Idaho, it's .08 percent). If you drive while your B.A.C. is .10 percent, your chances of having an accident are seven times higher than when you are sober. If your B.A.C. rises to .15 percent, you are 25 times more likely to have an accident! How much B.A.C. is there in one drink?

If you know your're going to be driving...don't drink! How­ ever, if you insist on drinking before driving, here are some tips: l) eat first...have something in your stomach to slow down the rate of absorption; 2) drink slowly...space your drinks to give your body time to handle them; 3) know what you're drinking; 4) set a limit on the number of drinks you will have...and stick to it!; 5) stop drinking in time to give your body a chance to reduce your B.A.C. to a safe level before you drive; and 6) be honest with yourself...if you know you're drunk enough to raise your B.A.C. over ,05 percent, don't drive!

Sag Bass Bedding Many of the thousands of tragic accidents suffered each year by children could be a- verted by clear, demonstrative parental warnings, says Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety specialist and former medical, director of the Prudential Insurance Company. "It is very important," Dr. Domm asserts, "that in teach­ ing youngsters proper safety habits, the parents associate the danger with the warning or admonishment." All too often this is not the case. As an ex­ ample, he points out the hypo­ thetical case of the tot who was told by his mother that Dr. Albert he would be H. Domm spanked if he went into the street. Thus, the next time the tot crossed the street, instead of looking for traffic, he glanced back over his shoulder to see if his mother was watching and was struck by a car. "You see,"says Dr. Domm, "the child was fearful only of a spanking and was not aware of the real danger -- the automobile." He reminds parents that in addition to making the danger clear to their young ones, they must protect and teach them through action. "It is tiring and troublesome for parents, but a child must be removed from danger again and again with the action supplemented by a clear, forceful 'no',"says Dr. Domm.
