Added to the two truck plows now in possession of the county and the 20 single horse plows, the new plow will provide all the apparatus necessary to keep open the 175 miles of road under the jurisdiction of the county. These 175 miles do not include state routes, or the 725 miles of township roads, which are under the jurisdiction of the 17 townships. The bank building located on Green street, which was the property of the Citizens State bank, was sold at public auction together with other eal estate, including river lots which had been more or less frozen assets of the Citizens bank, which is now in the hands of a receiver. The building was sold to Frank Wattles for $17,400. H.C. Hughes purchased about 8 acres of river property for $750.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of November 4, 1954) Selection of a police officer to fill the vacancy in McHenry's department was one of the most important items facing the City Council at the regular meeting. Four written applications were submitted and qualifications of each applicant studied. No appointment was made since the Council decided that per­ sonal interviews would be necessary in the selection. Information secured by City Attorney John E. Looze and reports from the city engineer indicate that' an agreement between the county board of supervisors and the City Council of McHenry on the construction of a new bridge near Edgebrook school will soon be completed. Since the city's share is to be paid through motor fuel tax funds, the plans and specifications are now in Springfield awaiting stamp of approval.

SUBSCRIBE To The McHenry Plaindealer . , . ^ rlMt I J" I III IJ If I "" >*< How do high hills and mountains help form clouds? A high hill (perhaps 1,000 feet or more) or. a mountain helps form clouds because it heats up faster in daytime and cools faster (than the valley or surrounding low­ land) at night. Thus it creates moving air (a breeze) since warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to replace it. In day­ time, as wanner air rises, air from the valley rises to replace it and often becomes saturated as it rises and cools and its moisture capacity decreases. Thus one can often find a cloud above a mountain top, or many of them. That's why there's more rain in the mountains than elsewhere- especially in summer. The ' mountain also produces clouds when air masses are forced to rise, passing over it, and condense into clouds.

The best anti freeze or coolant, as it is more correctly called, is seldom effective after a year, or 12,000 miles. Coolants not only offer protection against freezing, they inhibit corrosion and system-clogging rust particles. To keep your cooling system in the best condition, we recommend a yearly drain and pressure backflush of the system, and the installation of fresh coolant. * Don't put it off. Have your coolant checked at least once a year by the cooling system specialists. We're always ready to serve you.
