However, chemical changes, caused by enzymes, occur in food all the time. Because of these changes, canned foods should be used within a year--and checked periodically during the interval. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 27, 1927) The weather is an important factor in road work and with the very favorable weather of the last week the work is progressing rapidly. E.H. Merrick has completed the short strip of pavement leading to the mill pond bridge from Ringwood road and probably in another week with conditions favorable, the laying of the slab on Route 61 beyond Ringwood will be finished. The Fox river bridge will probably be opened for traffic in a week oc two as soon as more gravel is added to the approach at each end of the bridge. Rudolph E. Johnson, proprietor of the Bald Knob resort on Pistakee lake, in­ forms the Plaindealer that he has just received a letter from Rep. Roy Stewart stating that Director William Stratton has announced that a truck load of small-mouthed black bass (approximately 1,000,000) will be dumped in the lake at Johnson's place within the next ten days. The laundry at West McHenry which was recently taken over by L.V. Adams of Woodstock, is now in operation and the first week was a most satisfactory one to all con­ cerned. Mr. Adams took over the equipment which was in the laundry and has added several pieces of new machinery. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 28, 1937) The body of John Williards of Chicago, bricklayer foreman on the St. Mary's school job here, was found at.7 o'clock this Thursday morning at the foot of the stairway in the Cadillac hotel on Riverside drive. His neck was broken, caused ap­ parently by a fall from the second floor. Mr. Williard had been a guest at the local hotel for the past three months, being employed by the Tonyan Construction company on the school job since the beginning of the brick work. Confirmation was ad­ ministered Sunday afternoon to the children of St. Patrick's parish by His Excellency, Edward F. Hoban. Parents, relatives and friends awaited the confirmands who came in procession through the main aisle of their unusually devotional and neat little church while the choir sang the "Ecce Sacerdos". The girls in their white dresses and veils, boys in dark suits, white cassocked acolytes and sur- pliced priests, together with Monsignor Nix and Bishop Hoban in the ecclesiastical robes, all contributed to the beauty of an impressive procession. There were forty- six in the class. In the contest for the longest ear of corn, sponsored by the Central Market last Saturday, Martin Cooney, Jr., was winner of the ten-pound ham, sub­ mitting an ear thirteen inches long, which was grown on the J.B. Kelter farm on the Crystal Lake road. Thirty ears of corn were entered. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 6, 1952) There were so many highlights in last Tuesday's election, it would be hard to cover them all. On one thing all concur, it was an election which will go down in history as one of the most interesting, and, in many ways one of the most important ever recorded.

McHenry county recorded the highest vote of all time, as did the five McHenry precincts. The local total was 4,507 votes cast and the county vote 28,540. Mrs. Gertrude Justen was probably McHenry's oldest voter but held the same enthusiasm for the outcome as ybunger folks might. Mrs. Justen, who became 94 years old last June, studied a sample ballot and then went to the polls with her magnifying glass to be sure it was marked correctly. A preliminary hearing was held last Friday for ten ap­ plicants seeking citizenship in the United States. The list in­ cluded Maria Dierken of McHenry, and Stanley Wilson of Wonder Lake. Robert W. Gardner of Solon Mills recently qualified for the Progressive Breeders award presented by the Holstein- Friesian Association of America.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Precautions Provide Safe Grain Storage Grain can be stored safely on the farm providing a few precautions are taken, Jim Lucas, County Executive director, McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service said. "Particular attention must be paid to the moisture content of the grain, and you need a structurally strong and weather tight building." "Grain must have a low moisture content for safe storage. Excessive moisture will cause souring, heating, or molding, and will promote insect infestation. Grain can be dried in storage to a safe moisture content using either heated or unheated air. "Even in dry grain there is a tendency, in the colder climates and in the larger bins, for moisture to build up in the upper layers of grain during the fall and winter," Lucas said. Afc the season of the th'inclads icioefe, She' tWrriors managed to garner a fifth place finish in the North Suburban Cross Country meet at Libertyville. Spoilage can be prevented by installing perforated pipes or ducts in the bin. Then, during cold weather, a small fan can draw cool air through the grain to equalize the temperature and prevent moisture from being deposited in the upper layers. "Even clean grain with a safe moisture content can't be stored and forgotten," Lucas warned. Occasional inspection is necessary to detect leaks, insect infestations, and moist, molding or caking grain. TURN ONS Iceland Exports Fishing accounts for 80 cent of Iceland's exports.

HoWd he like it? "It's just been great-one unit that both heats and cools. It really does the job." says John. How the heat pump wozks. Most heating systems heat by burning fossil fuels, like natural gas or oil. The heat pump is different. It doesn't burn anything. It uses electricity to move heat from one place to the other-heat that already exists. Where? In the air around us. Even on cold, cloudy days, there's an abundance of heat in the air-solar heat energy that the heat pump cap­ tures and moves indoors. . In warm weather, the process auto­ matically reverses for cooling. The heat pump captures excess indoor heat and humidity and removes them to the outside The Remarkable Electric Heat Pump. Better efficiency. Today the heat pump is the best al­ ternative to heating systems which consume scarce fossil fuels. It taps an energy supply that's virtually limit­ less-heat energy from the sun con­ tained in the air around us. And tt is the most practical system to capture solar energy efficiently. In northern Illinois the heat pump, based on average performance for a heating-season, can deliver more than 1-1/2 units of heat energy for every unit it consumes This means the heat pump not only saves energy, it can also gen­ erate long-term operating cost savings If you want additional heat pump information, call your local Commonwealth Edison office and talk to one of our marketing engineers To get the full advantages of the heat pump, it's important to get a quality product, properly installed and ser­ viced.
