The Helping Paws Shelter committee met with Dr. Johnson, head of the McHenry County Health department ly, July 6, to discuss possibility of the Animal Control center staying open Saturdays and-or Sundays, and using volunteers to assist them in any way that best serves their needs.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 14, 1927) The north side of McCullom Lake just northwest of McHenry, was the scene of an accidental drowning on Saturday, July 10, when Ed­ ward Bolger seeking relief from the heat, lost his life about 6 o'clock Sunday evening. Hie young man attended a ball game in the afternoon and upon returning to his home decided to enjoy a bath in the lake although he could not swim. Building activities in our busy little city are progressing nicely with promises that very soon several new store buildings will be ready for occupancy. The Carey building on the west side of Green street is now enclosed and work is progressing rapidly on the interior. This building will comprise three separate en­ terprises with Smith Bros, drygood and grocery store in one apartment. McGee's clothing store in another, while the Carey electric shop will probably occupy the third section-. The McHenry Grays won their third consecutive ball game, Saturday by defeating State Line by a 12 to 10 score. The losers staged a ninth inning rally but fell short of tying the score. The Grays hit Miller and Edgar for 18 hits and 12 runs while the Liners hit Schoewer freely. The formal opening of the Colemar Country club near Spring Grove, took place Sunday, July 10. The land was formerly the 450-acre Cole estate and the clubhouse, which was the old Cole residence, stands at what has always been known as Cole's Corners, a short distance east of Spring Grove. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the Hies of July 15, 1937) During the severe electrical storm Sunday afternoon a tool shed and hog house on the John Kelter farm, just outside the city limits was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The farm, which is better known as the old Hanly farm, is run by Mr. Kelter's nephew, Martin Cooney, who with his family, resides in the large brick house on the farm. The bolt of lightning struck about 4:30 Sunday afternoon d soon the buildings were veloped in flames, from ich rose a dense, black smoke,, probably from the tar roof. Lowell Nye, who spent a short vacation in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Nye, here, left Friday for Ilion, N.Y., where he has a fine positiqn with a publishing firm. For the past year and a half, Lowell was employed with the Meyers Publishing company in Chicago. As he intends to be a journalist, he plans to seek employment in different parts of the country, thus learning by observation and experience and preparing himself for his journalistic work. McHenry county's allotment of state motor fuel tax, paid into the state treasury for the first six months of 1937 amounted to $35,384.75. The allotment for June tops all of the previous five months of this year when $7,178 was paid into the treasury. May was the second highest month with $6320.25. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 24, 1952) McHenry's first major hearing on a zoning problem took place on Tuesday af­ ternoon of this week in the city hall. The petition filed by At­ torney James Rich in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. William Goett- sche requested a reclass­ ification of a lot from residential to business class. The property described in the petition is on the Fox River, south of Elm street and east of Riverside Drive, formerly owned by Albert Gehrman. The northerly lot was zoned for business with the passage of the zoning ordinance. Learning water safety and the art of swimming in par­ ticular, under the Red Cross program is distinctly a treat these very warm summer days, according to the almost 200 children who have enrolled for instruction locally. Throughout the day the McHenry beach is crowded with youngsters of all ages who combine expert in­ struction with relaxation as they "beat the heat". Edgar Lacy of McHenry is lifeguard at the local beach. Local in­ structor is talented Bonnie Masslich McConnell of Woodstock, who is coming to McHenry for her second year under the Red Cross program. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 20, 19fe7) $ A crowd estimated at bet­ ween 23,000 and 25,000 crowded into McHenry last weekend to witness activities concluding one of the city's most suc­ cessful marine festivals. It was the largest attendance ever recorded at this annual sum­ mer event. The Sunday street parade, which moved briskly through city streets in an hour and a quarter line of march, probably brought out the largest number of people of any event. The first advance from the state of Illinois td help tile new McHenry County Junior college district meet initial costs has been deposited Everett Nichols, president, said this week. Nichol^ and other members of the board have deposited the check for $10,000 at the McHenry State bank with Thomas Bolger, who has been named treasurer for District 528. Voters of McHenry county approved formation of the district at an election last May 27. Since then the new board has organized, elected its president $nd moved forward in many areas to make the district become a functioning, servicing organization. Earl "Marty" Conway, popular McHenry tenor, will be featured guest on this week's concert of the municipal band. It will be held in the city park band shell on Thursday evening.
