Mayor Overton and his entire board were present. The monthly reports indicated that the city collector. Miss May me Buss, had a busy time. Payments of water bills amounted to $1,735.88 and sewer $882.80, while various amounts were collected on special assessments. The treasurer's report showed the sizeable balance of $11,175.58. This amount includes about $800 of Motor Fuel tax funds. A representative group of summer resorters residing south of McHenry were present to discuss with the Council the serious problem of pollution in the Fox river. The committee stated that a water analysis from the Bureau of Laboratories, Board of Health in the city of Chicago indicates a high bacteria content. The final curtain was drawn for one of life's troupers Wednesday night of last week when Mrs. Mattie Smith, 75 years old, owner of the Empire theater, slipped quietly away, alone, as she had done in more youthful days on the road when the applause of admiring audiences would have called her return. In 1907 Mr. and Mrs. Smith settled in McHenry and managed the Central Opera House and also conducted an airdome on Riverside drive. Here they pioneered the movie SAVE • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • I AT OUR SUMMER FRIDGIDAIRE CLEARANCE SALE FRIDGIDAIRE REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER LIST PRICE '469.95 I346MJ ECONOMY WITH ELEGANCE HARVEST GOLD AND GREEN ONLY FCD-150T 4.9 CU.

Later they built the Empire theater, which was opened in 1918 and which has been McHenry's only theater throughout the years, standing as a monument to the memory of its founders. t ' TWENTY-FIVE YE^RS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 18, 1952) Earl Walsh, chairman of the local Ballot Battalion organization, announced that all preparations for a short but intense campaign to get out the votes has been worked out and the meeting of the entire committee will be held Mon­ day, Sept. 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion home. Although this Ballot Battalion program has been spearheaded by the Kiwanis club of this region, the work of promoting the program rests in the hands of representatives of all of the leading organizations in the community. Mr. Walsh urges those organizations who have not sent a representative that they do so at the next scheduled meeting. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 14, 1967) The board of School District 15 acted in the presence of thirty-four dissenters to the sale pf Landmark school last Monday evening and approved purchase of a building at 3924- 26 Main street for use as ad­ ministration offices. The unanimous vote was followed by a. statement that the pur­ chase at a low $28,000, plus closing costs, relieved the pressure for the sale of the Waukegan road school. However, President August Uttich stated that it would be impossible to allow Landmark to stand unused indefinitely. Fire Chief Ed Justen said a fire at the McHenry Lumber company yard at 4030 W. Main street, McHenry, apparently was deliberately set. It resulted in about $300 in damage.' A passerby noticed the flames and alerted the firemen of Company I. They found roofing paper burning in part of an old, cement wall, open shed An extensive fire destroyed a good portion of the buildings early last Mav. Keys to the new building recently completed which houses wash rooms and storage for football and other equip­ ment, will be formally presented to the McHenry high school during half time in the Friday evening, Sept. 15, football game at McCracken field. The building serving a very real need,' has been donated by the McHenry Rotary club and was con­ structed entirely by members. Benefits Cut Due to a decline in unem­ ployment in Illinois, the Federal Supplemental Benefit (FSB) program which provides up to thirteen weeks of benefits in addition to the basic twenty- six week program, has ended. C. Thomas Ross, administrator of Illinois Bureau of em­ ployment Security, emphasizes that individuals currently drawing benefits under the FSB program will continue to receive those benefits. Ter­ mination of the program af­ fects only individuals who exhausted the basic twenty-six weeks of benefits after Aug. 20. ALEXANDER LUMBER CO.

CHAPEL HILL RD. McHENRY, ILL. 385-0333 FOR RESERVATIONS GOLFU CANCER I Answer̂ line (Editor's Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer Society, in cooperation with the McHenry county unit, Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer). A frequent traveler writes: "What's this I hear about the Civil Aeronautics board ban­ ning all inflight smoking? I think it's a great idea if true!" ANSWERline: Because of complaints from travelers, the C.A.B. is considering changing its rules to ban cigar and pipe smoking inflight. The agency invited public comment on that move as well as the entire in­ flight smoking issue. To date, the C.A.B. has received 25,000 letters from the public. Board members are now reviewing* them. It will be^ number of months before any kind of a decision is reached. If a total ban on all forms of inflight smoking is con­ templated, a further public discussion might be necessary. The C.A.B. has the power to make such regulations to in­ sure that carriers maintain "adequate service" and "just and reasonable services." Some people claim that the present method of setting aside an area of a plane for smokers still subjects other passengers to involuntarily-inhaled smoke. It might interest you to know that feelings about cigars and pipes are so strong that at least three airlines in the country have already totally banned these forms of smoking aboard their aircraft. A sportswear designer writes: "My brother-in-law died of cancer of the kidney, and I believe that you should explain the signs and symp­ toms of this disease and the need to detect it at an early stage." ANSWERline: Signs and symptoms vary from in­ dividual to individual but anyone noticing blood in the urine, or persistent pain either in the back or along the side of the body or below the ribs or the presence of a lump or mass in the flank area should see a physician right away. ' Fever or weight loss also may be symptomatic of cancer of the kidney, which can be accurately diagnosed by special X-ray techniques. As you note, it is essential to detect this disease at an early stage when surgery can most suc­ cessfully be performed. Cancer of the kidney is a relatively uncommon form of cancer: In 1977, for example, there will be about 15,000 new cases as compared with 98,000 new cases of lung cancer. A bookkeeper asks: "Does the American Cancer society or the federal government give any kind of financial aid to cancer patients or their families?" ANSWERline: The ACS does not give direct financial aid except in some special in­ stances when funds for drugs may be provided. The ACS does refer patients and their families to the proper com­ munity resource-for example, free vocational rehabilitation services. Or the ACS can show the patient how to have a, prosthetic devise paid for by insurance coverage. The ACS can also help by providing sickroom supplies and equipment and tran­ sportation service to treatment centers. The National Cancer Institute gives grants to special hospitals for clinical research. Patients' expenses can sometimes be covered by these grants. The NCI also conducts research programs at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health at no cost to its patients. For most patients, however, governmental aid is available through programs like Medicaid and Medicare. The government also sup­ ports a wide variety of local health centers and health services which help the public, either the ACS or regional offices of the Department of HEW can help locate these services. I TAX FACTS I Taxpayers who filfd estimated tax on their 1977 income must pay the third quarter installment by Thur­ sday, Sept. 15. \s The provision in the law for taxpayers to pay estimated tax in four equal installments means that three-fourths of the tax should be paid by Sept. 15 using declaration-voucher three from the Form 1040-ES package, the Internal Revenue Service said. Taxpayers whose anticipated income during 1977 has changed may have to file an amended declaration. Space appears in the estimated tax package to compute an amended estimate, the IRS said. For more detailed in­ formation, taxpayers can obtain IRS Publication 505 , "Tax Withholding and Declaration of Estimated Tax," available fre&irom local IRS offices. Bicycle Safety Bicycle accident fatalities in Illinois decreased 25.8 percent last year, nearly triple the national average im­ provement, Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon announced recently. "No one will ever know how many lives are being saved by educational programs of local government, schools and civic groups, encouraged by the Bicycle Safety program of our office," Dixon said. A copy of the bicycle "Rules of the Road" is available from Alan J. Dixon, secretary of state, Springfield 62756.
