Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 12, 1929) The Bowman^r Bottling plant at Ringwood will be closed this week according to information given out by officials of the company. This will be the last factory in this locality to shut down and very soon the one-time numerous milk factory will be a thing of the past. The Ringwood plant will be used as a collecting station for that vicinity and the milk will be taken by truck to the Chicago headquarters^ where it will be bottled. The plant receives an average of 60,000 pounds a day. The closing of the factory will throw about 10 or 12 men out of employment as only four employees will be retained on the payroll. It w?s a happy group that returned to McHenry after the local high school basketball team had travelled to Wauconda for the first game of the season and returned with a well earned victory. The score was 22 to 17 in favor of McHenry. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 21, 1939) The Spring Grove Methodist church was recently dressed-up by the addition of a wing and a room on the right hand side of the church. Facing south, this one-story frame building was built because of the need of a larger hall for social and recreational activities. Well • lighted and heated, the addition is equipped with modern plumbing and facilities for cooking and serving meals. The church itself dates back about ninety-two years when the Cooks and Stevens families combined their efforts and established a house of worship. The present church was built 67 years ago. The public grade school students put on a fine per­ formance when they enacted "The Magis Gift" in the high school auditorium. The operetta portrayed a Christmas eve in merry old England with all the color, costumes and festivity of the time. The large cast was ably directed by Paul Yanda, and much credit is due him.

Sixty-five folks associated with the company were there to present a "This Is Your Life" sketch. Fourteen slot machines were confiscated in McHenry county in a raid of four taverns made by Sheriff Harry Herendeen and deputy sheriffs. Machines were taken at Big Foot, Harvard and Chemung. Public Service company is in the process of bringing a 34,500 volt line into McHenry with a new distribution center located in the rear of the Hester station on West Waukegan street. The rapid growth of the community has been responsible for the extra power needed locally. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 19, 1969) The board of High School District 156 voted unanimously in support of SEDOM, the Special Education District or McHenry planning for building facilities to house the district's special education children and the special education ad­ m i n i s t r a t i o n o f f i c e , d i a g n o s t i c s e r v i c e s a n d s u p p o r t i v e s e r v i c e s facilities.

The cost of the survey is estimated at $2,000. Gov... Richard B. Ogilvie has announced the distribution of $6,340,306 to local governments as their share of November income tax collections. McHenry county's total was $23,742.06, and of this amount $3,462.04 is being distributed to the city of McHenry. Crystal Lake led county municipalities with $7,277.68 and Woodstock was second with $5,772.98.

This will keep the cord from pulling loose and causing a short. Twist small wires together and wrap around the screws in clockwise manner. By Alan J. Dixon Secretary of State There are several offenses which can cause you to have your drivers license revoked, but three offenses are most prevalent. Driving* while intoxicated is one way. "Under the in­ fluence of intoxicating liquor" means having 0.10 percent or more of alcohol by, weight in the blood. Conviction of driving while intoxicated will result in mandatory revocation of driving privileges. Carrying any alcoholic liquor within the passenger area of a motor vehicle, except in the original package, seal un­ broken, is prohibited. Drag racing is another way to lose your license. Drag racing is when two or more people compete or race on any street or highway, when one driver tries to prevent the passing or overtaking of the competing driver by acceleration of when one or more drivers compete in a race against time. The third way to end up walking is by reckless driving - "Willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property". Convictions of three reckless driving violations in a 12- month period will result in mandatory revocation. Your driver's license is valuable; don't lose it through foolishness.

OftPfXS MV OfttVK*... book mm CSPS New Swine Testing May Affect Marketing Illinois swine producers who sell breeding swine may need to make marketing decisions earlier-because of new pseudorabies testing requirements that become effective Jan. 1, according to Dr. Paul Doby, superin­ tendent of the Illinois Department of Agriculture's Division of Meat, Poultry and Livestock Inspection. Those new regulations will require that a health cer­ tificate or test record ac­ company all breeding stock over four months of age that are sold, traded, loaned or leased within the boundaries of Illinois. That health certificate must shew that the animals have reacted negatively within the previous 60 days to the serum neutralization (SN) test for pseudorabies. The SN test, which requires about 10 days for com­ pletion, is the test most commonly used to detect the dreaded swine disease. The regulation does not apply to feeder pigs which eventually will be slaughtered-or to breeding swine originating from a "qualified pseudorabies negative herd". (That means the entire herd has reacted negatively to the SN test, and 25 percent of the herd is retested for the disease every 90 days). Doby says the new regulation is aimed at slowing the spread of pseudorabies which has escalated dramatically in Illinois in recent years. Studies indicate that the sale of untested breeding swine has been the major con­ tributor to the spread of the disease. Pseudorabies is a costly swine disease that results in high death losses of baby pigs, abortions and retarded growth. If a man is often the sub­ ject of conversation he soon becomes the sub­ ject of criticism. -Immanuel Kant. CANCER New ways of doing a job related task June 21-July 22 stimulates creativity.
