I Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 31, 1929) State tax figures arrived in the office of County Clerk Guy E. Still. The total valuation, including figures of the assessor's and state tax commission, amount to $52,992,748. This is an increase over the preceding year, which was $52,148,412. The difference in the total of 1928 against 1927 amounts to $464,336. It will be several days before Mr. Still will be able to give out the rate by townships. Whether it will be more or less than last year is not known at this writing, although it would seem that there will be very little dif­ ference. ' , V McHenry's fast stepping basketball team again proved its superiority over teams of this region by trouncing the Foulds Macaroni team of Libertyville 65-14 last Sunday afternoon at the local school gym. Freund and Bacon led the scoring with 20 and 22 points, respectively, while Fay had 14 and Overton 9. Overton's floor game was the real outstanding feature of the game. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 9, 1939) Arthur S. Smith, chairman of the state liquor commission, reports he recognized a "growing dry sentiment" in Illinois and urged locjal officials to be vigilant for strict en­ forcement of the liquor control law. Smith termed the system of divided authority between local and state officials "cumbersome". Direct relief cost McHenry county taxpayers $119,413.12 during 1938, and increase of $26,182.48 over 1937, according to figures released by the Illinois Emergency Relief commission division of allocations and statistics. Of the total amount $98,868.12 was paid from local funds while the state contributed $1,348 less in 1938 than in 1937 while the township paid $27,530.28 more in 1938 than in 1937. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H.

The theme of the ob­ servance is "Forward on Liberty's Team", the current major emphasis of the movement, which seeks to produce a greater functioning manpower and provide a higher quality program for its ever increasing boy mem­ bership. The anniversary is to be observed by 89,000 units in all parts of the nation. Among the busiest people in the county are the residents of Lakemoor and they have a really worthwhile reason for this activity. They are com­ pleting a very large community center for all-purpose use throught their own efforts and skills and toward the end of February folks in the little village will hold a large car­ nival there. Residents also point with pride to newly widened and graded streets, the promise of street lights and other marks of progress which have been accomplished in a short time. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 29, 1969) With the deadline for township filing reached Jan. 27 (except for caucus candidates), contests are evident for at least two offices. The most complete ticket to date U that of the Independent Taxpayer, which includes three incumbents, H. Walter Anderson for town clerk, Charles Weingart for assistant supervisor and Harry Freund for auditor. With the decision of Chas. M. Adams and Arnold Rauen not to seek reelection for auditor, the names of Edward J. O'Brien of Wonder .Lake and Phil W." Mangold of Sunnyside will appear on the ticket. As the result of a 4-2 vote by members of the McHenry County college board in meeting, McHenry was selected as its choice of site for a new college building. The board expects to carry on further negotiations before the next meeting, when a report of approval by the Illinois Junior college board is anticipated following a visit to the proposed site by a representative of the board. No figures were divulged on the price of the Brackman-Backhaus property, located just north of the Bull Valley blacktop, on the west side of Crystal Lake road, known as the former Whiting farm. • • * • Life's hardest task: living each day by the Golden Rule.
