Alderman Stoffel objected to the question being voted on without a discussion.

FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 26, 1938) The Plaindealer is well on its way to a grand old age. And unlike some women of today, is not afraid to tell its age. It proudly proclaims to all that this week marks its sixty-third birthday. The older we grow the wiser we are and through mistakes we learn. New generations have sprung up and old ones have passed; there have been changes in the social, political fnd economic life, but through these epher- meral years we have made every effort possible to serve the public to the best of our ability and maintain a standard of cooperation with our readers and subscribers which we shall endeavor to continue. At all times we have tried to present the news in an accurate and interesting manner.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 21, 1953) The sky over McHenry was filled with jet planes on Tuesday morning of this week and it was only several hours later that residents realized their purpose was to locate another plane which had ex­ ploded in air near Crystal Lake. The Air Force pilot, Capt. William Carrington, 30, parachuted to safety and later was treated at a physician's office where particles of glass were removed from his head. According to the captain, he was flying at 10,000 feet on a routine flight when he suddenly heard an explosion behind him and the plane went out of control. He decided to jump out immediately. Patty Goranson and Ray Sch- mitt, high school seniors, received the 1953 Arion medals, national music awards, at the annual band and orchestra banquet held Tuesday evening of this week in the high school cafeteria.

Not too many villagers were present for the meeting, of course, and so the board did not get too much feedback. There will be one more chance for you to get youf i cents worth in, though, at the Revenue Sharing meeting preceeding the next village board meeting May 23 at 7:30. At the regular «board meeting, it was announced that Jim Wright has resigned from the police force. Another officer will be hired to take his place shortly. Officer Jack Bjerke has finished his police training, coming through with flying colors. Just a few reminders from the village clerk, Lesley Curran. New guest passes are available at her office, which is in her home at 4807 W. Mc­ Cullom Lake road, and should be picked up at your con­ venience during her hours, which are 3-7 p.m. every Wednesday. Each household is allowed permits, with additional per­ mits available for large par­ ties. The clerk also reminds you that you should either register your boat or renew your previous registration right away. Vehicle stickers are also still on sale, and are now well overdue. Tickets are being issued to residents who do not have stickers on their vehicles. Why not buy your village sticker now, and save yourself the fine? The last reminder from the clerk is about dog tags. Some of you may not be aware that you can purchase your dog's tag directly from the clerk, without having to bother about sending the form in to the county. You pay exactly the same price, and you can get the tag on the spot. It will be a lot easier for the records, also, because then the clerk will have a record of all the dogs in the village. STRUCK OUT Due to the lack of registrations, the McCullom Lake Girls Softball association regrets the closing of its baseball league for this year.
