Twice Told Tales SECTION 2 ̂ PAGE 7 • PLAINDEA' • FRIDAY. ^PTRMBRR 1«. Ifl7. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 15, 1927) Following a meeting held Sunday afternoon in a tent, just outside of Antioch, at which time the question of locating another dam in the Fox River was discussed, the Chicago Tribune and the Waukegan Daily Sun came out the next day with news stories, stating that an agreement was near in the Lake County dam con­ troversy and that peace was in sight for the Fox River dam. Before going any further let us inform our readers that from all the information this newspaper can gain there has been no compromise and no talk of a settlement except by a few who may have talked to newspaper reporters for the sake of spreading some propaganda. Peaceful Woodstock was rudely awakened at 12 o'clock Tuesday night by an explosion which was heard for several miles around the city and fairly raised hundreds of people out of their beds in the neighborhood where it occurred. The report vas an explosion of a bomb on the front porch of the John Wienke home on Lincoln avenue in that city. The bombing of the Wienke home was undoubtedly the work of professionals and probably an aftermath of some of the recent raids on law violators in McHenry county. A most unusual incident occurred late Saturday af­ ternoon when the silo on the William B. tonyan farm bet­ ween McHenry and Ringwood collapsed to the ground. The silo, which was made of brick, had just been completely filled and the accident occurred while the family was eating supper. Road work in this locality is progressing nicely with favorable weather conditions existing for some time making it much easier for the work to be accomplished. The piles from around the piers of the river bridge were pulled out last week by Julius Keg and his dredging gang, which has added much to the appearance of the bridge. The work on the railing of the bridge is progressing nicely and it will now only be but a matter of a few weeks before the bridge will be ready for travel. The board of supervisors in regular session Tuesday failed to appoint a special state's attorney to succeed Alford H. Pouse who "threw up the sponge" a few weeks ago and departed for parts unknown to relatives, friends and enemies. An adjourned meeting of the McHenry city council was held Monday evening, to consider the floating of a bond issue for the sum of $23,000 and the holding of an election in the near future. One reason for this is that the issue which was voted by the people of McHenry last spring has been declared illegal owing to the wrong drafting of the ordinance covering same. Represen­ tatives from two bonding houses were present and submitted bids, subject to the election being voted favorably. All expenses of the election will be borne by the successful bidder. The ordinance will be passed at the next meeting of the council, after which full details will be published. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 16, 1937) "Plane all washed up. Tony o k." was the terse message fraught with great meaning sent from the Cleveland air races recently which con­ cealed, perhaps, a greater feeling than is often expressed in a telegram. In the expensive vernacular of youth, the disappointment in a cherished dream and the blasted hope of a successful flight in the air races, as well as the tragic end to over a year of work and anticipation, was expressed. This was the experience of Marshall McCannon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe McCannon of Ringwood, who, with four friends and co-workers, had labored for over a year to build a tiny, but speeding airplane, which they intended to enter in the National air races at Cleveland, Ohio. Never quite satisfied, the youths had worked on the model for over a year and with the exception of the propeller it was ready for the air races last year. However, a desire for more LOSE WATER BLOAT WITH ODRINIL -NATURE'S WAY f • N New OORINIl can help you lose excess weight due to excess water retention during the pre-menstrual cycle OORIMl-a gentle diuretic compound- contains natural herbs in a tablet that is effective and fast acting ODRINIL--the Natural water pill-is guaranteed to help you lose that un­ comfortable water bloat and temporary weight gam or your money will be refunded 00RIML is sold with this guarantee by MAY'S REXAU. DRUG STORE 4400 W. RTE. 120, McHENRY speed prompted the young builders to change the wing for a smaller and somewhat dif­ ferently constructed one. Feeling confident that everything was o.k. they did not test the plane on arrival at the Cleveland airport, however they found that the aeilerons did not have enough surface and the tiny plane rolled and crashed. The board of supervisors on Tuesday approved a 1938 farm to market road program which ' calls for the expenditure of $95,000 from the county's share of the state gas tax fund. The program calls for the con­ struction of approximately eleven miles of blacktop road. Among the numerous items of business transacted by the board of supervisors Tuesday was passing of the annual tax levy for the coming year. County Clerk Raymond D. Woods was authorized by the board to extend the amount of $146,000 on all taxable property in the county. This levy is $14,700 more than the levy made for last year. The raise is due to the fact that $4,500 is levied for county aid in repairing bridges next year as against $500 last year. Also there is $400 more for com­ pensation of the county superintendent of schools; $1,000 more for postage for county officers; $2,500 more for salaries of county home, etc. The levy is made up of $102,040 for general purposes and $44,000 for maintenance of state and state aid roads. There is no levy for the care of the poor, this being taken care of by the various townships. Albert Buch and his brother, Jerome, were injured in a serious accident Saturday evening when their coupe was demolished in a collision with another automobile. The youths were returning from the store operated by Mr. Buch and his son, Albert, at Crystal Lake and at Terra Cotta were crowded off the pavement by an approaching car. Albert was thrown through the windshield and received cuts about the head and face and stitches were taken in a gash on his head. Jerome, who was driving, was also cut and bruised. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 25, 1952) A total of 205 residents of a large portion of McCullom Lake went to the polls last Tuesday and decided by their vote against incorporation of the community as a village. The territory in question in­ cluded all of Knollwood sub­ division, Knollwood addition to McCullom Lake Estates, McCullom Lake Estates and lots 20,21,22 and 23 of Oak Glen subdivision. Opposing the move^ were 155 residents, with 126 favoring incorporation. There were twenty-two spoiled ballots and two who attempted to vote were turned down because of die decision of the judges regarding their status as permanent residents. This was the second attempt at in­ corporation at McCullom Lake in the past few years. Registration at the five McHenry precincts in McHenry township was reported light on the first of two days set for special registering of county voters last Saturday. The s e c o n d c o u n t y - w i d e registration day will be Oct. 7 in the precincts. Two certain signs of winter greet folks this week. The first was the closing of the summer season last Tuesday. The second is the end of daylight savings time next weekend. Short in numbers but long in enthusiasm might describe the assembled members of the McHenry Chamber of Com­ merce as they met in the American Legion hall for the annual knife and fork meeting. President John Looze ad­ dressed the members, ex­ plaining the aims, efforts and problems of the Chamber of Commerce which is a con­ tinuation of the highly suc­ c e s s f u l B u s i n e s s m e n ' s A s s o c i a t i o n . M e m b e r s discussed various projects and the proper approach to han­ dling them. McHenry now has five seminarians from the city with the entrance of a young 14-year- old boy in Sacred Heart Seminary, Geneva, 111. He is Thomas Thennes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thennes. The other four are Richard Pad­ dock, who is in his sixth year at Salvatorian seminary, St. Nazianz, Wis. James Weber, son of the Henry Webers, in his fifth year at the same school; Frank Zimmermann, son of the Frank W. Zimmermanns, who is in his third seminary year at St. Paul seminary, St. Paul, Minn., and Adolph Weideman, son of Mrs. Clara Fredricks, who is attending a seminary in the East. More than $2,400,000 in 1951 taxes on its operating and other properties in twenty-four Illinois counties will be paid by the Chicago and North Western Railway this year. The total taxes are $2,427,376.29 of which $1,347,182.88 or more than half, constitute the various school taxes. Bob Switzer, 20-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Switzer, added to his growing laurels when he captured the National Outboard racing championship in Class D at Oakland, Calif., with his boat "Hi-Strung", TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 21, 1967) At its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, the board of School District 156 signed a certificate of levy in the amount of $1,169,660 to be forwarded to the county clerk. In other action the board voted favorably on the formation of a citizen's consulting committee patterned after such a group which functions in Decatur, 111. Seven of the members will be part of a permanent committee which will select other com­ mitters to perform particular needs, serving in an advisory capacity to the board. Word has been received from State Supt. of Public In­ struction Ray Page that full recognition has been granted to McHenry high school District 156 for the 1966-67 school year. The decision of the state is based upon an evaluation of the total educational program, including any visitation by the supervisors, a careful study of the annual report, a review of conditions found at the time of t h e l a s t v i s i t a t i o n f o r recognition purposes and the recommendation of the county superintendent. Despite inclement weather, the Warriors of McHenry played to a full house Friday night in their season opener against the highly ranked Barbs of DeKalb. Those fans who braved the rain were treated to a real thriller as McHenry pulled out a last minute, come from behind victory, 13-12. The city council heard a report by H.S. Sundin, representing Baxter and TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS: Because many of you were not able to attend our Special Fur Sale due to vacations and other reasons, as a courtesy to you, We Have Extended 'Our "Special ^August fur 'Sale thru September 18th! EXTRA SAVINGS STILL POSSIBLE --SAVE UP TO 50* ON FURS OF ALL KINDS A Small Deposit Holds Your Fur Selection Until Christmas Woodman Civil and Sanitary Engineers, at the meeting Monday night concerning near future plans for expansion of sanitary sewer service. Mr. Sundin reported word from the state of Illinois that McHenry will not be required to install tertiary treatment since adequate treatment and chlorination are now meeting requirements. Such additional treatment may be required in the future. From the report recieved, it appeared that a plan for expansion of the present plant will follow. Construction of new mains to the recently annexed areas will be necessary. During the half-time proceedings at the DeKalb- McHenry football game of last Friday night, the McHenry Teachers' Association awarded Mac . McCracken, athletic director of McHenmry high school, a gold pin for his forty years of service to the McHenry schools. For forty years Mac McCracken has watched the athletic teams of McHenry high school; has coached boys in every sport, seen them grow into men, and then has coached their sons. Forty years is a long time for some, but not for Mac. He's always too busy for sitting around and becoming nostalgic. Grandma and Grandpa S.I.H. are happy as all get out this week with the arrival of an eight ppund grandson, Brendan Edward Walsh. Local Group Given Chapter Secretary of State Alan Dixon recently announced the issuance of a not-for-profit corporate charter to an area group. The charter was given to the Johnsburg Pigtail league, headed by Dorothy Cooley, 405 Pleasant View, McHenry, for the purpose of engaging in educational and recreational activities. A domestic corporate charter was granted to Basudeb Saha of 4901 W. Rt. 120, McHenry, for the purpose of practicing medicine.
