SURPRISE BIRTHDAY LUNCHEON Doris Low had a surprise birthday luncheon in her home Monday of this week to honor her mother, Mabel Thomas, and niece, Vickie Fernstrom Reese. Mabel thought it was a get-together for the cousins because Vickie is home visiting from Virginia for a couple of Sanders Tour Southwest And Mexico \ Frank and Marilyn Sanders enjoyed a very full and busy three and a half weeks seeing the sights of southwestern United States and part of Mexico. They traveled by wav of Missouri, Arkansas to Brownsville, Tex., where they stopped to visit friends and then on to Lubbock, Tex. Marilyn is an elementary school teacher and at Lubbock they joined a group of forty educators to travel into Mexico where they spent eight days studying the cultural and en­ vironmental aspects of Mexican life and how it affects the people. They stayed in Nuevo Casas Grande (new big houses) and toured the Pagime Ruins, visited a thriving Mormon colony, and camped in a box canyon up in the Sierra Madre mountains. In Juarez they shopped for Mexican artifacts. Other highlights of the trip were visiting Carlsbad Caverns and viewing the Grand Canyon. HERE AND THERE Alice Peet returned home last weekend after a two week bus tour to Jasper, Canada; Banff and Lake Louise. The weather was not the best but it was an enjoyable trip and the flowers throughout the area were absolutely gorgeous. Thirty members of the Baker clan gathered in Strawberry Point, Iowa, for a wonderful reunion. Art, Mary and Laura Baker drove out to join in the festivities and reminisce. It was a delightful evening last Friday night when Celia Freuhling, Nellie Hepburn and Art Jensen joined Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Rogers on the Rogers' pontoon boat for a cruise down the river. Rain didn't spoil the fun and enjoyment of the Blackmon family reunion held in the town hall at Sommers, Wis., last Sunday. Nellie Hepburn, Jane Blackmon of Richmond, and Art Jensen attended from this area. Yvonne Piesens visited the home of Shirley and Harry Hartjes. Yvonne recently retired as secretary to the chief examiner of the Federal Home; Loans bank board. "or> After her retirement she visited her niece, Barbara, and husband in Panama, where he is stationed in the service. She then went on to Florida where she enjoyed the beautiful weather. She visited herj brother in Fox Lake before! coming to visit the Hartjes in Ringwood, who enjoyed her i visit very much. The Walt Lows went camping last weekend in the Spring Grove area with Walt's Wednesday night card group. Those were the best steaks ever. Donna Low Meyer arrived home last week to spend a few weeks with her parents. Last weekend she spent visiting with sister, Linda, and her family in Dubuque Iowa. Monday evening and Tuesday she spent with her sister, Pam and Dan Kehoe, in Elkhorn. Glad to see you home, Donna, if for only a few weeks.

He conducted the examinations of the defendants in several of the cases until Assistant State's Attorney J.J. McCauley arrived in court. Several of the men pleaded guilty to having in their possession slot machines and for the operation of the same in their places of business. They were fined $100 on each count. Mayors from about a dozen cities in the Fox Valley were at a meeting in McHenry Sunday to investigate and study con­ ditions in connection with the proposed dam in the river above McHenry. Not only the mayors were present but aldermen and prominent city officials and friends were on hand from Antioch on the north to Ottawa on the south. A few were present to promote the building of the dam, for which the state has appropriated $175,000, but the; very large majority came to enter a protest. The Ringwood Homecoming association held its second annual meeting at the M.W.A. hall at Ringwood, Aug. 26. Invitations to attend this meeting had been extended far and wide and over 300 people gathered to enjoy the day together. A cafeteria supper was served at 5 o'clock and an outdoor pageant of living pictures was the entertainment of the evening. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 2, 1937) The Community high school had its annual registration on Monday, Tuesday and Wed­ nesday of this week and it will be interesting to note how many this year choose to take ad­ vantage of the advanced educational facilities offered by our community. The high school has seen a steady growth during the past several years, enlarging from eighty-five pupils when the high school was first organized to ap­ proximately 200 students at the present time. Each year the enrollment has increased gradually until at the present SECTION 2 - PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1977 time it indicates an increase of over 100 per cent during the past ten or fourteen years. An estimated crowd of 450 members and their families of District No. 6 of the Pure Milk Association enjoyed a picnic in the McHenry park. The annual event was well timed, coming as it did, after threshing was over and just before silo filling was commenced when the busy farmer felt free to take a day's respite from work. John A.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 11, 1952) McHenry continues to hold an attraction for a former resident, local police found this past week. On Friday evening, they received a call from the Hiehle family of Aurora, for­ mer residents of Lakemoor, asking for aid in locating their 15-year-old son, Russell, who had run away from home. Because of their former residence in this community, they believed he might have returned to McHenry. A two- hour search was rewarded when police officers found the youth in the McHenry Recreation. His parents came to McHenry and took him home. The first fall meeting of the McHenry Chamber of Com­ merce will be held Monday evening, Sept. 22, at the Legion home. The program for the year will be outlined during the evening, including the street lighting project which has been before the organization for some time. Plans for the 'teen canteen program will also be made, after which committees will be named. They did it again! Those Shamrocks aren't fooling about wanting to enter the McHenry county league playoffs. It was do or die at Algonquin last Sunday, and they didn't die. They beat the Simplex Ironers, 5 to 3 and did it with a deter­ mination that has lifted the team from an also-ran start to the position of respected contenders for the crown. It was a six-run splurge in the first inning that brought victory to the McHnery team. There is of wait! this story to tell you that no need waiting too long in to tell Manager Bill Bolger played the game of his life in right field. You know they have a lot of big trees in that right field and Bill must have fancied himself as quite a woodsman as he blazed a trail in and out, snaring supe 'hits. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember ?, 1967) As school bells rang in mid­ week In McHenry, they were answered by approximately 5,225 young people betweefc the ages of 5 and 18. The enrollment iiytht city's five public and two pWMihial schools was about 328 more than attended locally at the opening of the 1986 fall term and set a new record. M.C.H.S., literally bursting at the seams, will this year hold about 1,870 students. Last fall opened with 1,462 and jumped to 1,481 by October. New this year will be the transfer of math classes to Landmark school because of high school crowding. McHenry residents will have an opportunity to easily put ZIP into their mail in late Sep­ tember, Postmaster LfRoy Smith has reported. During the last half of September, the poet office will deliver ta every householder a kit of eight postal cards which can be mailed back to the post office with addresses needing ZIP codes. Mrs. Eva Sparks, McHenry township assessor , learned this past week that she had suc­ cessfully passed the inservice training program examination of the Association Of Officers. In the future she carry the initials CIAO (Cer­ tified Illinois Assessing of­ ficial) after her name. Mrs. Sparks is the only assessor in the county to hold the title. The board of Consolidated Grade School District 18 on Friday answered questions posed in last week^s issue of the Plaindealer concerning the future of Landmark school. A vote on that future may come when the board convenes in regular sessiop next Monday evening. Truckts Vow TO Catch Truckon A new crackdown is in the works against truckers who break the 88 miles pet hoar speed limit in California. The .surprise is who is doing the cracking down: titfv Cali­ fornia Trucking Association. The whole point of the enterprise is image. CTA President A. J. BjrrSttd ad­ mits that the public thinks of truck drivers as the prime culprit in highway speeding, and bs insists that is Just not true. "Ifs a feet of life that when jroU're big, yen attract attention and make a good target," Byraud says philo­ sophically. He plans to have his mem­ bers Mset an example of 88 m.p.h. compliance for the rest of the motoring public and for all trucks on the .read." To put the heat on those who. do not, Byraud has asked anyone who spots a truck speeding to "get the license number, or trailer or track number, the time and place, and notify the California Trucking Association." • l\ 1 Safety Pin The. modern safety pin was tn 184S V
