CONDOLENCES With the death of Maxwell Razee on April 12, the Kawell family lost a dear father, grandfather and great grand­ father. He had been hale and healthy through his eighty- second year, after which falls resulted in broken bones and hospitalizations. He leaves a good legacy for all his family. Mrs. Jim Cunningham died April 16 at her home. She had been ill, and was being cared for by her husband, Jim, and her son. Our deepest sympathy goes to this devoted family. Neighbor Chris Sances is among those who are very saddened by Astrid's death. May pain one day be eased by the happier memories. GET WELLS Dear lady Mary Behrendt is home from the hospital after having a hip problem taken care of. And Louis Schueler came home in time to spend Easter with his devoted LaVerne and other family members. Sally Rogers would appreciate get-well cards and prayers. May all who are ailing be comforted.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 29, 1954) McHenry may be the proud possessor of a new and modern swimming pool if the fund raising campaign which began this week is successful. In discussing such an undertaking it was felt a pool large enough to accommodate a community this size could be erected for $30,000, including all necessary facilities. A number of sizeable contributions have already been made. Dr. Lee Gladstone is chairman of the fund raising campaign. It is hoped that the pool may become a reality within the next year. A committee of subdivision and organization members was formed at the Chamber of Commerce meeting to work with the City Council on correcting the pollution of the Fox river. The new Gies shoe store opened for business on Riverside drive. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 25, 1969) The more than century old Justen building of 1265 N. Green street was entirely gutted by flames in an early morning fire which for a time also threatened Bolger's drug store to the south. Early damage estimates were set in excess of $70,000 by a member of the family. James Althoff was elected president of the McHenry high school board to succeed Vale Adams, and Dr. Peter Griesbach was named to head the consolidated grade school board. Walter Dean of McHenry stepped down as chairman of the county board of super­ visors, completing two terms of devoted service to that group. Willert Russel of Seneca township was named the new chairman. Limited time only.
