PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1»77 •nwniM Twice FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 3, 1927) . Residents and property owners of McHenry may now feel more secure in the knowledge that we are once more well taken care of in the matter of fire protection. The new up-to-date fire truck, which the committee pur­ chased from the Peter Persch company of Kenosha, arrived in town last week and is a truck of which we may well be proud, with the appearance of being equipped to meet every emergency. The new outfit was purchased at a price of $6,500 with $1,500 being allowed in trade for the old fire truck. The members of the local American Legion did a great deal in the raising of funds for the Peter Persch outfit which is a necessity that we cannot be without. Two events in which every Scout in McHenry was much interested took place in Woodstock on Friday and Saturday of last week. The first o event was the Court of Honor which was held at the cour­ thouse. At this time merit badges and first class badges were given out by the chair­ man, F.E. Covalt, of this city- Several of the McHenry boys were present and Arthur Cox received his first class badge at this time. The McHenry boys took part in the knot-tying contest, string-burning, signalling and pony express. Our boys won first place in knot-tying and third place in string-burning contest. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 4, 1937) The first issue of the "Flying Flash" was published by students of the eighth grade at the public school recently and is a neat output, showing considerable work on the part of the students, who give the news of interest at the school, and enumerate the various events of the school.

Few of the hunters in this vicinity who went forth Monday morning into sloughs around the various lakes in this region returned empty handed and the majority of them found ducks and mud hens plentiful, ac­ cording to reports. Schaefer Brothers celebrated the grand opening of their new bowling alleys last Saturday night. The owner of, the National Billiard company cut the ribbon to open the alleys for competition. Mike Conway rolled the first ball. He got three pins. Dorothy Burmeister of the Logan Square Buicks, who is holder of the Chicago Evening American singles, doubles and all events records, was the guest of the evening.1 Dorothy showed her class by beating one of McHenry's best bowlers, Herb Simon. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 13, 1952) Miss Charlotte Hogan, Ringwood, has been named as winner of (Hie of two J.R. Watkins company scholarships awarded to outstanding Illinois 4-H members. This honor came as an achievement award climaxing nine years of 4-H club work in McHenry county. Charlotte has been a Junior leader of one of the Ringwood clubs for three years, clothing and food projects consume a great deal of her record. Charlotte is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hogan. She is enrolled in the University of Illinois as a freshman in home economics. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Larson received word this past week that their son, Pvt. Lee Larson, Jr., had been wounded during action in Korea. No further word has been received as to his condition. On Nov. 20 the board of directors of the McHenry County Chapter of the Illinois Association for the Crippled will open a physical therapy department in separate quarters of the Clay street school in Woodstock. This is another project that the directors of the chapter have instituted to help restore the physically handicapped in our midst. Many know about the. very successful speech clinic held during the summers for the past several years. Both of these projects are due to the public's generosity in donating to the Easter Seal campaign. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 10, 1967) The gymnasium of Rich­ mond's enlarged high school will be the setting for the county's most spectacular musical event of the year when 450 young vocalists from seven high schools gather there to present the annual McHenry County Music festival. Monday, Nov. 6, signalled the start of the bond issue cam­ paigns for school Districts 15 and 156. At 4 p.m. Dr. Carl Bergstrom presented the faculty with the new plan for the schools and the needs for the schools; then at 8 o'clock Ed Buss presented the plan to a group of about fifty interested citizens. A nominating committee composed of Myrt Mart ell, Don Howard and Clint Claypodl was named at Tuesday's board meeting of the Chamber of commerce: They will assume the work of selecting nominees for four places on the board which will become vacant at the end of this year. The committee also will make plans for the annual Chamber meeting in January when the board will be elected. From S.I.H. "Our old pal "Red" Winkel retired from his duties in the McHenry post office this week after thirty- eight years of service. Bade when his service started the staff was small and there was no delivery service in the city. Those were the days when everybody was a box holder and the post office was a great meeting place."

Nearly 300 children and parents par­ ticipated to enjoy the fun and games provided free of charge by the Edgebrook PTO. The party, organized by PTO co-vice-presidents, Don and Regina Cameron and Edgebrook's teacher representative, Dan Mohija, offered a fun-filled safe Halloween celebration along with an opportunity for the family to spend an enjoyable day together. The highlight of the party was the spook-house designed and constructed by Mr. Mohija and PTO parent volunteers. Children and parents alike all enjoyed the movies, popcorn, apples and drinks provided by the PTO. The spirit of the party was best described by a 3rd grade child who remarked that he was so scared in the spookhouse, he had to go back in again and make sure it was real. _ l" The officers of the PTO board expressed delight and surprise at the large turnout arid plan to provide such entertainment for the children in the future.

"How are you getting along at school, Henry?" asked the father. "Fine," answered the son. "I have learned to say 'thank you' in French." "Good." came back the father, "that's more than you ever learned in English." Carter And South Africa Isn't it time we laid off south Africa for awhile? Already, in its first ten months in office, the Carter administration has won the International Busybody championship with its non-stop scolding of South Africa and other allies whose internal policies don't suit it. At the same time, Carter's unevenly- applied human rights crusade has put the U.S. in first place for, Hypocrite-of-the-Year award. The administration has studiously ignored the sorry state of human rights in such places as Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, Panama and most African nations. Add to this its ignorance of South Africa's history and its misunderstanding of that nation's complex problems and you have a White House that is making matters worse - not better - for South Africa's Macks and colored (mixed race) citizens. The recent harsh crackdown by the Vorster government on political and journalistic dissidents is party due to the need it feds to put on a show of strength for hardliners so that it can win big in next month's elections. But, the repression can also be traced, in part, to the Carter administration's meddling. Making Progress South Africa had been making progress in improving things for its non-white citizens this year. The Afrikaner university announced it would begin admitting non-white students. Pretoria businesses signed a pledge supporting equal pay for equal work and non-discrimination in job promotions. The postal system opened up new_ technical I I I I I GIVE SANTA A BREAK..

Perhaps most significant was the public support by Foreign Minister R.F. Botha for an end to the Mixed Marriages act. Progress 'might have con­ tinued had the White House not been so determined to treat the South African government like Typhoid Mary. In May, Vice-President Mondale told Vorster that the price of U.S. friendship would be one-man-one-vote in South Africa. Andrew Young, when he visited South Africa, called the government "illegitimate" and said that blacks should mount an economic boycott. But Jimmy Carter's famous Playboy interview last fall may hold the most revealing clue. He was asked if he had ever had "a failure of moral nerve." In his reply be cited "...the fact that I didn't crusade at a very early stage far civil rights in the South, for the one-man-ooe- vote ruling. It might be that new I should drop my cam­ paign for president and start a crusade for black-majority rule in South Africa and Rhodesia." It begins to look as if U.S. policy toward Africa is to be guided by Mr. Carter's guilt feelings. * ^ Different Experience South Africans argue that the American experience and theirs are not similar. They view our society aa multi­ racial, theirs as multi-national in which the whites are one of several "tribes." Foreign Minister Botha says of the whites: "Likethe black peoples of our country, we also have our roots deep in the soil of Africa. We do not want to rule over them and we do not want to be ruled by them. Indeed we are committed to divest ourselves of the political power to govern blacks." Within the geography of South Africa there are already four independent states. The latest one, Transkei, was created last year as a homeland far the Xhoea tribe. Critics claim that Transkei is just part of the apartheid system, yet its prime minister, jl | long. time opponent of apartheid. Altogether, the South African government plans 10 such homelands where the tribes trill rule themselves. This means carving up die nation, including ah area for the whites. • The Carter White House has a different idea. It seams to think that South Africa must become a carton copy of the U.S. racial experience. This accounts for the scolding, but so far ad­ ministration officials have managed tn Inflame the racial situatlon in South Africa rather than Mp improve it. Mian- while, the Russian bear, which wants all of Southern Africa destebHlised so it can pick up the pieces, looks on and smiles. As for letting the South Africans work at aolving their problems while we solve our own, nil in favor say "Aye." r,u4KXJO "I hmd a great night's tUtp.

The American Medical association points out that a walk of just an extra mile per day for thirty-six days is a year this would mount up to about ten pounds. The extra mile means just that - a mile of walking in addition to the customary walking now done each day. Also, walk at a brisk clip, don't just saunter along. And without increasing your present food intake. Once regarded as a major factor in losing weight, physical activity was liter accorded less importance. U was recalled that considerable effort was required to shed even one pound of extra tissue. Would-be reducers found comfort in some expert opinion that calories expended through exercise would be immediately replaced, due to automatic increase in appetite. Fortunately, for fitness as well as for fatness, exercise has been restored to grace and enjoys respectability. It still takes calorie control to keep weight under control rmanently, but exercise ~ calories; within the usual range of activity, it need not stimulate appetite excessively. The energy output required to offset a pound fcffai is approximately 3,500 calories? but the weight need not be lost all at once. Instead of the exhausting, often Impossible, thirty-six mile hike within a span of hours, a walk of just one extra mile a day for thirty-six days will get rid of that extra pound. Weight gain usually is relatively slow, and the extra mile will - for most persons r- help keep weight down to a reasonable figure. TO be effective for both weight reduction and for general physical conditioning, exercise must be a regular way of life, and not something that is overdone Moon?' Moon?"

The Beaver Moon this year comes on November 25th, the night after Thanksgiving. These moons always follow die Harvest Moon, which is the foil moon nearest the autum­ nal equinox, and which can therefore vary from month to month--contrary to what , many people believe.
