Twice Told Tales sssssssssssssssssa Health Tip FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 20, 1928), The home of Cole Peterson, a special deputy sheriff and a member of the Citizens' League of McHenry county, was bombed Wednesday evening about 9;30. Mr. Peterson and family occupy a farm home on the Woodstock-Marengo road. The bomb was placed at the southeast corner of the house, between the bedroom and the porch Fortunately none of the occupants suffered injury, but the house is almost a total wreck Mr Peterson has been very active in the recent happenings in connection with the drive of the Citizens' League to rid McHenry county of some of the illegal traffic in liquor He was one of the leaders in the raid on the still recently discovered near Ridgefield. The McHenry Kiwanis club enjoyed a ladies' night and their third birthday an­ niversary party at a dinner dance held at the Pistaqua Heights Country club.

Request for an ap­ propriation to build a new dam across the Fox river will be made at the next meeting of the state legislature, it was an­ nounced by Dr. A G. Highgate, president of the Fox Lake Lions club. It was declared that the present McHenry dam at the south end of the Chain-of-Lakes is inadequate to accommodate the lakes when they are at flood stage, as it is old and obsolete. Since the floods of last July, plans for a new dam have been drafted. The young people of McHenry and neighboring towns will no doubt be thrilled to learn that McHenry is to have a new form of amusement this winter~a roller skating rink. Grand opening will take place Oct. 1. The George Stilling building on the corner of Elm street and Riverside drive has been transformed into an ideal skating rink. The cement floor has been covered with hardwood maple and a new Hammond electric hand played organ has been installed for music. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 24, 1938) The City Council entered into an agreement with Motorola Communications 4 Elec­ tronics, Inc., to install a new police radio system. Since the system has been changed in various law enforcement of­ fices, it is necessary for cities to follow the trend. The sheriff's office took the lead in McHenry county and cities have followed. A civil defense ordinance was passed clearing the way for federal assistance covering one-half of the cost of the new communication system. The chairman of the Waterworks committee has been authorized to have tests made to determine the amount of water available in an existing well in Cooney Heights. This well has been offered to the city and may prove to be of great benefit in avoiding water shortage in case of emergency. A dream of many years standing for a number of McHenry folks will be realized Sept. 27, when the McHenry public library opens in its new location on the corner of Main and Green streets. After months of remodelling one would hardly recognize the library as the century old former Tesch residence. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 25. 1968) According to enrollment figures compiled this week in the seven McHenry public schools and two parochial schools, increases have totalled about 400 and brought the figure to an all time high in the city with 5,273 attending classes. The high school in­ crease from the same time last year is thirty four, with 735 juniors and seniors attending the new West campus Forty faculty members instruct these young people in the most modern educational system known as modular flexible system The east campus enrollment totaled 869 in­ cluding 469 freshmen and 400 sophomores. They are in structed by a faculty of fifty A design of the 1970 TB The Aging Eye The aging process, graceful and kind to some, less so to others, affects every part of the body. The eye is no exception. It, too, goes through specific changes in muscle tone and other tissues, and is more likely to develop certain disorders and diseases. Yet. diet and exercise can help one to remain active and physically fit. and so can regular, preventive eye care help protect sight in later years. While one is more likely to experience vision problems with age. they can often be corrected and should not be simply shrugged off as "the price of getting old." Never­ theless. millions of older people. through fear, ignorance, and neglect, endure vision disorders and failing sight without seeking help. Because of this, half of all bind people are over 65. although the 65-and-over age group makes up only 10 percent of the population. Probably the most commonly known condition, and one that is frequently related to aging, is cataract. Vision impairment from cataract afflicts more people than any other single cause. In fact, it is generally agreed that if one lives long enough, most will develop a cataract. "But even though the con­ dition develops, vision im­ pairment does not have to be permanent." stressed Virginia S. Boyce, executive director of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindess. "In more than 95 out of 100 cases for which it is recommended, cataract surgery, one of the safest operations a patient can undergo, will successfully restore useful vision." ^Glaucoma is another age- related, disease. though many of its victtma are still in their most productive middle years. Often referred to as "the sneak thief of sight." it may be without pain or other symp­ toms in its early stages, even though vision is already being destroyed. Readily detected by a simple, painless test which should be taken at least once every two years, glaucoma's progress can usually be halted, generally with medication. Any amount of vision already lost, though, cannot be recovered. "The great frustration in our work," continued Mrs Boyce. "is that the two leading causes of blindness, responsible for so much suffering and anguish, can both usually be suc­ cessfully controlled and sight saved If only people would pay more attention to their eves, their care and protection, and seek the help that modern medicine can provide " Regular eye care, including a professional examination, should be an established and continued routine An excellent brochure is also available that can answer many questions.
