JUNE 15 baOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Twice Told Tales mnnoooouuLt 1977 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 16. 1927) The Salvation-Army will put on its Home Service drive in McHenry and other towns in McHenry county next week and at that time everyone will be solicited The quota for the city of McHenry is $300 and as this is the first appeal made by the Salvation Army here since 1924 there will be no trouble in raising this amount if residents will show their former generosity and assist them in carrying on the great work in which they are engaged. McHenry was the unanimous choice of the Eleventh district American Legion convention at Elgin Saturday for the next meeting place of the veterans of Will. DuPage. Kane and McHenry counties. Clayton Hepner of Crystal Lake, lineman for the Public Service company of Northern Illinois, was almost instantly killed Monday afternoon when he accidentally touched a 22.000-voljt high tension wire while placing a cross-arm on a new electric power pole on the shores of Pistakee Bay, two miles east of Johnsburg FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 17. 1937 > SO insulated reusable disposable foam cups. •t Disposable Lighter with FREE Coed Newsm Razor FREE Good NewsTM Disposable Twin Made Razor with your purchase of Cricket Disposable Butane Lighter Our Reg. 2.08 Stops pain of sunburn and minor burns and shin Irritations.

Time continues to work changes in McHenry and old timers and former residents will be interested to learn that "the old school" used for many years as St. Mary's parochial school, has been torn down during the past week to make way for a new and modern school building for St. Mary's parish. Thus McHenry's oldest landmark has become a thing of the past, but the memories that have centered around it, bringing back to many of us scenes of our childhood days, will ever remain fresh in our minds treasured among the keepsakes of bygone days. Gardens and lawns in McHenry are at their best this week as the warm June sun brings out the colorful peony blooms and other early sum­ mer flowers and local residents may well be proud of the fine appearance of their homes and surroundings which give proof of much interest and work expended in making them attractive. It has seemed to be a general opinion for many years that the care of flowers was a woman's work, but not in McHenry and vicinity, for here we find several men who raising beautiful flowers and take pride in beautifying their homes. A bill forbidding any local milk inspector or board of health to cut off the sale of milk of any farmer until the state department of health has ap­ proved the order, introduced by Rep. Thomas A.

At present 170 young people from St. Joseph's school at Lisle. 111., are enjoying a vacation at this beautiful setting. McHenry stock car racing fans are taking quite an in­ terest these days in Bill Cristy of Ringwood who pilots Buchert's garage special, a blue 37 Ford Circle Three. Bill has driven this car for the past two years and is reported to have done a wonderful job. This past weekend members of the Pistakee Yacht club gathered for the club's official opening of the regular Saturday and Sunday series of sail boat racing. Preceding the Saturday race, flag raising ceremonies began with the firing of a gun and a review of the fleet by Commodore Walter Deroche. The Saturday race was won by Jack Deroche as skipper of "Freckles II". TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 22, 1967) Sandra Fry, 17, a poised vivacious brunette, won the Miss McHenry contest and the "pot of gold" that goes with the honor. Her immediate "gold" is a trip to Expo 67 for Miss Fry and her mother, Mrs. Earl Fry. Gail McCormack was first runner-up and Nancy Kralowetz, second runner-up. The subject of Landmark school and its designated use as a central administration building came up for discussion at the meeting of the board of School District 156. At the regular meeting Robert Freund of Crystal Lake was employed as architect to work with James Althoff and Dr. Leslie Krieger of District 156 and representatives of District 15, which owns the building. Later it was disclosed that future plans were uncertain pending a future decision of District 15 on whether or not to sell the Landmark building. A special committee ap­ pointed by Supervisor and Board chairman Walter Dean of McHenry, met twice this week to further discuss sites which had been retained after an earlier meeting on possible courthouse locations. Probably the most notable progress to date was made at a meeting last Thursday in the courthouse annex, where twenty-four sites were presented with slides shown. Following a vote on each of the sites presented, the majority were rejected. More than 200 Girls Scouts, including four Brownie units, three Junior units and one Cadette unit, attended 1967 Valley View day camp last week at Camp Lewis, Lake Defiance. 4-H Fun Day Set At Hebron The Hebron Helping Hands 4- H club had a special meeting June 6 to discuss the 4-H Fun day Saturday, June 18, to raise funds for the trip to State Fair in August as McHenry county's representative in the state 4-H Share the Fun contest.
