MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) and normalcy returns, this little gal from Parkland school will be high on our list of people to contact In the same mail, but of different content, was a note and renewal of subscription from Mrs. Rose E. Simpson of Chicago. Her message will bring memories for old timers. Mrs Simpson was as near to being a native of the com­ munity as anyone could be without a birth certificate from McHenry She was only a month old. the oldest of twelve children, when her parents, Mr and Mrs. Louis Oertel, moved to the community in July of 1898 There is always a good feeling to know that people with such early ties to McHenry retain their interest long after they have moved away It proves to us again that McHenry is somehow a very special place K A F CHURCH LANDMARK IN EXPANSION (Continued from page 1) prayer-group meeting of eight people in the home of Mr and Mrs Ira Colby in 1840 McHenry at that time was a hamlet barely 4 years old The First Methodist church which grew from that meeting met for some years thereafter in a schoolhouse on the site of the present Masonic hall, often with services conducted by licensed "circuit rider" preachers, or. when roads were impassable, by appointed lay preachers from the local congregation In 1859 the George Gage family deeded land for a church and parsonage, and the present sanctuary was built at the cost of $400. and with many man- hours of labor donated by men of the community Candles were its only lighting In 1878 the first parsonage was built beside the church. and a shed put up behind the church to shelter horses during services. In 1938, during winter months, men of the church hand-excavated a basement under the sanctuary. In 1950 the present parsonage was built, and in 1953 an education unit added to the church supplied more Sunday school space, church offices, and fellowship facilities In 1964, the interior of the old sanctuary was remodeled. Through its long history of service to the community and to members who had made it their church home before denominations of their preference were founded in McHenry, the church was also known for some years as the "Community Methodist." In 1968, however, following the world-wide merger of Methodists and United Brethren, it became the First United Methodist church of McHenry, the name under which it continues to serve.

STAFF PHOTO-JOE DEHN It's a book you'll find in virtually every home, and people use it every day. But nobody ever reads it from cover to cover. That's the telephone direc­ tory. of course, and copies of this year's edition are being delivered to McHenry area homes this week, according to Stan Jozwiak. Illinois Bell manager The cover of this year's directory portrays some of the varied attractions of Illinois, the Prairie state But a book shouldn't be judged by its cover, and there's a lot more than just names and numbers inside the telephone book. "Inside the ,front cover," Jozwiak said, "are the vitally important emergency num­ bers-where to call for the local police and fire departments, or for medical help." « The first few call-guide pages in the new book make it easy for phone users to find facts about rates, types of long­ distance calls, local services, money-saving tips, area codes and prefix locations The new directory again will include a "helpful number list"' of frequently called or hard-to- find numbers such as govern­ mental agencies and organizations that provide community services. The call-guide pages also will include information about a new service called Zero-Plus calling that Illinois Bell will introduce in the McHenry area Saturday, Oct. 7. "With Zero-Plus calling," Joswiak said. "McHenry phone users will be able to dial their own person-to-person, collect and credit card calls Customers placing a person-to- person call? for example, will dial Zero (Operator) plus the area code, if it is different, and the seven digit number " B l a m e W a u k e g a n D r i v e r I n T h r e e - C a r A c c i d e n t CLOSE AID OFFICE On the observance of Columbus day Monday, Oct. 9, the Department of Public Aid office, 1316 N.
