SECTION 2-PAGE I - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MAY M(ltM Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 5, 1930) The regular meeting of the City Council was held June 1. The ordinance committee had prepared and presented a new ordinance covering through streets which will be as follows: Green street from the North side of Route 20 to Washington street; Riverside drive north of Route 20 to city limits; Elgin road from Waukegan road to city limits; Main street from Elgin road to Route 61. The ordinance was accepted and will be in force as soon as signs can be erected Congressman Frank R. Reed has taken up the matter of a fish hatchery for the McHenry district and is bending every effort to get one of these hatcheries located here. At the time the proposition was presented to the congressman the bill authorizing a five-year fisheries program had not passed the Senate, although it had been QK'd by the House. Now the good news comes along that it became a law on May 21. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 30, 1940) Another road meeting was held at the McHenry city hall attended by representatives from the nearby com­ munities, when plans were again discussed for the township bond issue. Petitions are now being prepared, asking for a call for a special election to be held on the bond issue proposition. These will be circulated within the next few days. Forty-eight students are looking forward, not too eagerly to Friday night, May 31, when they, the class of 1940, will assemble to receive their diplomas at the McHenry Community high school auditorium^ \ At the Court of Honor held at the high school auditorium, two local Bpy Scouts were recognized as Eagle Scouts. They were Ted Belling, Jr., and Glerin Peterson, Jr. The award of Life Scout was presented to Thomas Lawson. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of June 2, 1955) A quarter of a century in business was chalked up June 1 when Albert S. Blake completed 25 years of ser­ vice to the driving public. It has been a most purposeful period of progress which should be a source of pride to the owner.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 5, 1970) Rae Dee Beno of this year's McHenry Junior high graduating class is the subject of an unusual scientific investigation at Northwestern university. She has been observed and tested at three universities to date in the Middle West. Rae Dee, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Beno of Lakeland Park, has demonstrated a remarkable ability to read non-fiction college level material at fantastic rates of speed with perfect or near perfect scores on comprehension tests relating to the material. Mayor Donald P. Doherty reported at the City Council meeting that the State of Illinois House of Representatives and the Senate had passed the bill which will give assistance to the city in correcting the drainage problem in the Lakeland Park area. The bill, which provides $105,000 for the project, awaits the signature of Governor Ogilvie. Wprk Continues Renovate Opera House The exterior Restoration of the historic Woodstock Opera Home is continuing with support from McHenry county businesses and service organizations, ac­ cording to Opera House officials. The two-year project is intended !to restore much of the facade of the Opera House to its 1890 condition, to protect it from weather, and to repair and restore damaged ornamental features. Over $20,000 in con­ tributions have been made over the last several months specifically to assist the project estimated to cost $80,000 for completion. „ M c H e n r y c o u n t y businessman, John Lillie, and a committee of other business people are credited with securing many of the contributions received to date from businesses and manufacturers located in Crystal Lake, McHenry, Woodstock ahd other areas of the county. "The Opera House is an historic, cultural, and en­ tertainment asset to the entire region. As we continue to preserve this landmark structure for future generations, I am personally pleased to see expanding audiences taking advantage of the programs offered by this one-of-a-kind facility," commented John Lillie. The Woodstock Garden dub, also responsibly for the landscaping of Memorial hospital for McHenry county, has committed support from the organization and its members to. provide the plantings that are part of the project's first phase. "The Woodstock Garden club believes in supporting projects that benefit people, and that make our county a special place to live. The history of this community makes it special, and the Opera House is part of its history. Plans for the second year include repair. and restoration of the or­ namental terra cotta and Illinois limestone that are used throughout the four- story facade of the Opera House. The interior of the Opera House was restored in 1977 at a cost of $500,000. The majority of that figure was raised through the efforts of a group of citizens called Woodstock Opera House Community center, Inc. This not-for-profit organization is currently dedicated to the continuing restoration and preservation of the Opera House which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Asked about plans for future fund raising ac­ tivities, president 'Donna Gregg responded, "We are expanding our membership programs and offering special gift items which are inspired by the historic nature of the Opera House. The membership program offers a group of privileges and premiums based on the amount of contribution. In the last several months we have enjoyed the support of nearly 190 new and renewing members, whose con­ tributions exceed $30,000." I n f o r m a t i o n a b o u t membership may be ob­ tained by calling the Woodstock Opera House at (815) 338-4212. Individuals wishing to be placed on the mailing list or inquiring about coming events may call the ticket office at (815) 338-5300. FUNNYSIDE 'It's for you -- your mother's calling."
