"The fire truck in the park (Pearl street) was one of our main trucks," he said. "We had maybe 12 volunteers taking care of 100 square miles of McHenry township." Today, Justen pointed out, the department, encompassing all three companies, has about 16 pieces of equipmeht and about 65 men. The fire fighting equipment was kept in the old city hall on Green street, Justen recalled. One of the most memorable days for him was when Harold "Red" Hobbs retired as fire chief and the trustees asked Justen to take the position. Justen joined the department around 1945 and still helps out today taking care of some of the radio communications. Edward Justen has lived in McHenry all his life and both his parents were born here. Likewise, the McHenry Plaindealer has been a part of the Justen family ever since he can remember.

A return can be amended using the 1040X any time during the three years following the due date (in­ cluding extensions) of the original return, or two years from the time the tax was paid, whichever is later.

My 23-year-old daughter is going to marry a guy we do not like. Believe me, we have good reasons. But I just cannot stand to even lode at him, so of course I never see him. He is not allowed to come to our house. I do not want to go to the wedding, and I told my daughter I wouldn't. Do I have to? This hurts me so, for we were always so close. Also I have been tied down to a paraplegic son for 4 years, and I hate it. I feel like I will explode any minute. What can I do? Disappear? A. Better make peace with life. Whether we, as parents, like it or not, our children have the right to choose their mates in marriage. Sometimes time proves them wrong, but in other cases they are proven to be right. But, right or wrong, it's their choice. So out of respect and love for your daughter, it's your job not to mar an important moment in her life. The problem of the paraplegic son is a heavy one. Investigate the social services in your community. Advice and help are usually available. So don't "disappear." Stand up to your problems, handle them rightly and you will find peace. We are sending you our booklet, You Can Overcome Any Problem, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. Gone to the Dogs How can one stand 13 dogs in a mobile home? They shake themselves, and mud flies everywhere. They sleep on the beds and furniture. Every night I have to wash all the floors. The carpets were so dirty and mildewed from urine we had to burn them all. The barking is deafening. I have to go and sit in the woods away from all this. Relatives and friends refuse to visit us anymore. They can't get in the door for dogs. They also complain about the odor and hair. My husband tells me if I don't like it, get out. I am 68 and Social Security isn't enough to live on. What can I do? A. The situation you describe is not only unpleasant; it is unhelathy. Some way must be found to provide homes for some of the 13 dogs. Go to the local pound or SPCA. Advertise in the "Free" column of your local paper. Convince your husband that others will care well for the animals, leaving you two to live in an environment fit not for dog but for man. Why Should He Die? Q. I am a 20-year-old college sophomore. Andy and I began dating our junior year of high school. We dated off and on for 3 years until he was killed in a car accident. I think about him every day. So many things remind me of him. We went to different colleges and would go out when we were both home on weekends. Now I hate to come home because I have nothing to do on Friday and Saturday nights but think of Andy. It doesn't seem fair that such a young, loving guy like him could die. Please help. A. We share your grief and pain in losing a special friend at such a young age. Often, when tragedy occurs, we cannot think of anything but the loss. We feel bitterness and anger because we do not understand. These are natural human emotions. Look beyond the bitterness and be thankful for Andy's life. Your sadness need not hamper your involvement with today. Seek out other friends (even though you may find this difficult at first) and plan activities with them on weekends. Immerse yourself in your college courses. Your memories of Andy will always be a part of you. They can give more meaning to your life in the present and in the future.
