NAME ADDRESS - CITY ZIP MONEY BACK GUARANTEE FOR UNUSED PORTION" Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 7, 1929) At a very fitting program, the four rooms of St. Mary's parochial school were each presented with a beautiful flag by the local James B. Perry Fortress of the Daughters of the G^A.R. A committee representing the local chapter Fortress visited each room and after each flag was presented the pupils gave a most in­ teresting and patriotic program, including the pledge and salute to the flag. A large crowd that has anxiously waited to see our team defeat the district champions from Wauconda went home with satisfied smiles. There was glory in winning this game and the boys gave their very best to turn the trick. The 31 to 29 score reveals that it weft no easy task to set down Wauconda's well chosen array of stars. Dick Overton was high point man with five baskets and a classy floor game to his credit. Fay turned in four baskets besides putting up a hard scrap all through the game. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of March 16, 1939) Probably two of the fastest growing lake regions in the middle wf*tare seeking better road conditions in their districts-the McCullom and Wonder Lake communities. A group of the McCullom Lake citizens visited the County board meeting in hopes of gaining the cooperation of the board members in improving a seven-mile stretch of road leading from Route 31. At present there are some 270 homes in the McCullom Lake area and in the Wonder Lake region there are more than 600. The Automobile department, under Secretary of State Ed­ ward J. Hughes, announced that a total of 890,728 drivers' licenses had been issued to Illinois motorists as of March 1. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 11, 1954) It is interesting to note that the assessed value of the McHenry grade school and the Community high school has increased about $1,500,000 this year. Part of the increase is due to added territory. Cherry Valley became a part of the grade school and two square miles at the south side of Lakemoor became a part of the high school. In each case the addition of territory caused an increased value of about 1500,000. These, increases have pretty well offset the rise in expenses in the districts. All plana have been com­ peted for the annual meeting of the McHenry County Education association which will be held March 12 at the Woodstock high school auditorium. Folk dan­ cers from Wonder Lake will open the program, to be followed by a talk by Frank Hughes. St. Patrick's basketball team under the guidance of Father McGowan brought joy to a large following as they won the Northeast Catholic Grade school sectional at Elgin. Capt. Denny Conway received the trophy in behalf of his team. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 5, 1969) Joseph R. (Jake) Levesque, McCullom Lake, was appointed SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 7.1070 by Governor Richard Ogilvie as assistant director of Aeronautics for the state of Illinois. Although based out of Springfield, Levesque expects that much of historic will be in the Chicago area. Military personnel from Fort Sheridan called at the Ernest Freund home with the notification that their son, Carter J., 22, had been killed in action in Vietnam. In an emotion-packed presentation made during the McHenry fireman's dinner held at the V.F.W. clubhouse, Thomas Diedrich of 1208 N. Park street was awarded a certificate of recognition from the American National Red cross. It was in recognition for extraordinary personal action in carrying Scott Rehberg 25 feet to shore when he was found unconscious in the bottom of the Fox river. This is only the fifth award of this type lo be issued in McHenry county since 1953. Mental Health Staff In National Training Toss-Up Time One of the regulars was late for his Sunday morning golf date, but he had an excuse. "It was a toss-up between golf and church," said the tardy one. "1 had to toss the coin 15 times before it said I could play golf. " Family Service and Com­ munity Mental Health Center for McHenry County is an in­ tegral part of an operations grant soon to be awarded to the McHenry County Com- prehensive Mental Health Service system by the National Institute of Mental Health, (NIMH). In continuing to prepare for programming that this grant provides, two staff members recently attended national training courses sponsored by NIMH. Christine Eagen, ACSW, coordinator of the Adult Day Treatment program, attended the course on "Beyond Desinstitutionalization: New Directions for Community Based Services for the Men­ tally 111," held in New Orleans. The purpose of the course was to share information on programs in various states and to develop a psychosocial rehabilitation model that would help long term mentally ill clients from returning to the psychiatric hospital. The focus of the workshop was on the process of main- streaming clients into the community as much as possible rather than isolating them by institutionalization. Mary Kay Messling, M.A., coordinator of the Community Consultation and Education program (C&E) attended the course on "Management of Community Education Programs" in San Francisco. The main issues addressed in the course included: the role of preventive mental health programs in a comprehensive community mental health center; knowledge about the nature, range, and ef­ fectiveness of community e d u c a t i o n a c t i v i t i e s ; development of information systems which document C&E services; and development of procedures to evaluate the outcome of C&E interventions. The goal of a community education program is primary prevention of mental illness.

Tax Report In its final report to Governor James R. Thompson last week, the Governor's Advisory commission on taxes proposed a limit on state and local government spending, and administrative reforms in assessments and governmental budgets. The commission also proposed that the public be given a greater voice in fiscal decisions of government. Alan S. Ganz, commission chair­ man, said the report was based on testimony taken at four public hearings held throughout the state as well as research and study by com­ mission members.
