PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1S78 m A VISIT FROM EASTER BUNNY - "Close your eye« and put out your hands," said (he Easter Bunny ai McHenry hospital. Pediatric patients, Kathleen Keating and Denlse Jones, obeyed promptly and received "goodies" from a disguised Edythe Lavin, supervisor of the hospital's Central Supply department, for being Ideal patients. Twice Told Tales | - - -|i-- mi FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 29, 1928) McHenry county's greatest interest in the present cam­ paign for governor of Illinois is the question of the building of roads. There is no other im­ portant issue before our people. This county now has about ninety miles of these roads, twenty more miles are now under construction and about eighty miles of roads are yet on the program to be built. Gov. "> Small, the incumbent, is op- • posed by Secretary of State Louis Emmerson for governor. A slough fire, burning near the Albert Vales home last f Friday, caused some ex­ citement in that vicinity as it neared different farm buildings and no men could be found at home to assist in checking the flames. McHenry's Quality Market is the name of a new meat market opened in the Richard B. Walsh building on Green street the first of the week. L.A. En- smennger is the proprietor of the new business on Green street and he is not a stranger in this city, having conducted a meat market in this city not hi many years ago. McHenry band men are asking this community to vote in favor of the one mill tax movement for band purposes, which is to be voted on by local citizens at the city election in April. Band concerts will do more for McHenry than five times the same amount of money spent on almost any other municipal improvement. FORTY YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of March 31, 1938) George P. Freund, in con­ nection with his food grinding business, has taken the agency for the J.I. Case Implement Co., and has already received a shipment of this well known make of farm implements. He is located in the former John Pint blacksmith shop building on Pearl street. Seniors at the Community high school have commenced practice for their play "Broadway Bound", to be presented May 6 at the high school auditorium. The classes and various organizations have elected officers for the year with officers for the senior class being Vale Adams, president; Louise Stilling, vice- president and Lorraine Engeln, secretary and treasurer. Of­ ficers of other classes are juniors, Dorothy Lay, president; James Larkin, vice- president, and Gladys Shepard, secretary and treasurer; i sophomores, Harry Conway, president; Mabel Bolger, vice- president; Anita Althoff, secretary and treasurer; fresh­ men Erwin Laures, president; Betty Neilsen, vice-president, Earl Pomrening, secretary and treasurer. You can mark this down. The M.A.A.C. - MCHS basketball game was a grand success last Saturday night. In most games it is well to stress the score. The score made little difference in this game of games. The high school boys won 47 to 31. That was to be expected. Of greatest interest to long-time fans was to see our great players of ten i to fifteen years ago trot out to see just how much of the old skill was left. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 2, 1953) Voters of McHenry township will go to the polls in five local precincts next Tuesday, April 7, when they will elect an assessor, a town clerk, five justices of the peace and five constables. Floyd Covalt was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of the board of directors held on Tuesday evening of this week. He will assume duties capably handled last year by John Looze. Gus Freund was elected vice-president, Dan Justen, secretary and Earl R. Walsh, treasurer at the same meeting. There are uneves who are downright mean and then there are others who have an honest streak. So the owner of Buss Motor Sales decided last week when a 1951 Ford was recovered, after having been taken on a trial run around the block forty-five minutes earlier. A young stranger walked into the garage about 10:45 that morning, looked at a 1951, green Ford and asked if he might take it around the block before making his final decision as to its purchase. When he failed to return at 11:15 local police officers were notified. They, in turn, called state police. As the call was being carried to sheriff's deputies' cars, one of these autos happened to be ap­ proaching the city limits of McHenry. On hearing the notice of a stolen car the deputy remembered having just passed a car answering the description near the top of Sherman hill. Within a few minutes, the deputy with local police identified the auto. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 3, .1968) un Friday, March 29, William B. Camp, comptroller of the Currency, announced in Washington that a preliminary charter has been granted to organize a new national bank in McHenry. Winn C. Davidson, agent for the organizers, stated the application was filed several months ago and since that time the Comptroller's office had made an exhaustive examination of the need for another bank in McHenry and had also extensively reviewed the qualifications of nine proposed directors, M. David Cain, Lyle C. Davison, Winn C. Davidson, Harry Hans, Christian E. Jepsen, Paul S. Jessup, David T. Kent, Harry Stinespring, Jr., and Anthony Corcoran. The new bank will be capitalized at $750,000, con­ sisting of 15,000 shares of common stock to be sold for $50 a share. Present plans are for the bank to be located at 3816 West Elm street, in the former Hornsby building. On Thursday, April 4, the Citizen's Advisory committee for the McHenry public schools will meet in the high school cafeteria for its second meeting. The Citizen's Ad­ visory committee is attempting to study some of the problems that local schools are facing, and have organized several study committees for 1 in* dividuals to join. HONOR NURSES - Nurses at McHenry hospital received flowers from the hospital's auxiliary during National Nurses week. Shown presenting a corsage to Mary Ann Lundquist, R.N., of McHenry, is Hjordis Karlsen, first vice-president of the auxiliary. PATIENT LABELING FOR lUD'S About three million wo­ men in the United States use intrauterine devices (lUD's) for contraception. To make sure that women who want to use IUD's are fully in~ formed on their benefits and risks, the Food and Drug Administration now requires that a special brochure be supplied to women before IUD's are inserted by their physicians.
