| Twice Told Tales | FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken 'from the files of June 19, 1930) Albin Anderson, son of John Anderson of McHenry, graduated from Harvard university with honors on June 17. He will now enter the Harvard law school, wh<ere he has three more years of study to complete his lato course. During the summer vacation he expects to work in the big Stillman bank in New York City. Arnold Anderson, who has been attending the Nor­ thwestern unviersity in Chicago,is spending the summer vacatioji at his home here. Walter An­ derson, who has been at­ tending an art school in New York City for the past few years, has also completed his course and will return to his home here for the summer. A committee to seek relief for the low water condition of the Fox river will be ap­ pointed within two weeks. The committee will takejhe case before the IllirioisT' Waterways commission. Water between the dams at McHenry and Algoqnuin averages about one and one- half feet in depth, and is stagnant in many places. Thomas Bolger explained that 32 inches of flash boards were being used on the McHenry dam, thus restricting the normal flow at that point. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 13, 1940) The McHenry Country club subdivision association held its annual meeting with an exceptionally large at­ tendance present in which officers for the ensuing year elected were as follows: R.L. Wildauer, president; Joseph Letang, vice-president; Harry E. Eckland, secretary-treasurer; and Peter W. Seyl, sergeant-at- arms. Before any signs or markers were erected to guide motorists on high­ ways, many experiments were conducted and engineering studies made to obtain signs that were visible during both daytime and darkness at tjje fur­ thermost distance, to make the signs understandable to the motorist, to place the signs at the psychological spot for the purpose desired, and to eliminate any un­ necessary signs which would only confuse the motor car operators. The McHenry post of the American Legion will again stage another big Fourth of July celebration this year at the grounds on Green street.

Smith of McHenry pleaded "not quilty" when he was arraigned before Judge William M. Carroll in Circuit court. Smith is charged with the murder of Miss Jean Ann Lingenfelter, I7. As the result of a report from City Attorney John E. Looze, the City Council passed an ordinance repealing Chapter 13 of the Municipal code in its en­ tirety and adopted a new ordinance which covers traffic and motor vehicles.

Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott has con­ tinued on three fronts his fight to save Volo Bog, the state's 12,000-year-old ice- age treasure which serves as a rare and valuable source for continuing ecologic study and research. Gardening For Fall Vegetables Missed out on getting in your spring vegetable garden? Even though Summer is here it is not too late to grow many fine vegetables. In fact, now is the time to plant your Fall vegetable garden, according to Dr. Jim Gauss, hor­ ticulturist and landscaper. A garden planted now for late summer and fall harvest can provide bountiful, premium vegetables. What can you plant now? It is not too late to plant summer squash, beans, cucumbers, early-maturing corn or early-maturing tomatoes or peppers, but plant them before the end of June. Long-season cabbage and broccoli (90-100 days from seed) should be sown now. Sow rutabaga, short season cabbage and broccoli (70-80 days), cauliflower, carrots, beets and collards by July 1 and transplant or thin root crops to the proper spacing. July 1 to 15 you can sow Swiss chard, leaf or head lettuce (if mulched and kept well watered), endive, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, collards, beets, spinach, green peas and turnips. Leaf lettuce, spinach, kale, collards, mustard and turnips for greens can also be sown as late as Aug. 15 and still produce a har- vestable crop. In southern Illinois you may start the above crops up to two to three weeks later. • • • • Read a good book reg­ ularly, even at the risk of straining your mind.

Most everyone has heard all the adverse publicity that the press has given nursing homes. Well the staff here at Carestoel would like to invite everyone in McHenry to come in and see for yourselves how a good nursing home is run. We here at Carestoel take pride in our facility and most importantly we take a special pride in all our residents. We're all working, riot only for a paycheck but for each and everyone of our patients. Caring is what we're all about. That is why our dedicated staff has given their time, talents, and energy in putting on a Vaudeville Show for the residents and their families on June 14th in our gym at 2:30 p.m. We wish to invite, at no charge, any McHenry resident to come in and sneak a peek, and see for yourselves why we think we're num­ ber 1. YOU CRN BANK on it! Presented by STATEBANK OF RICHMOND membvr F.D.I.C. Double-digit doses of inflation on a regular basis cause just about everybody to question the viability of an economic system which alows that to happen. We hear a barrage of questions like, "What's happened?", "Why hasn't the system corrected inflation?", "Will it ever end?", etc. Unfortunately, the an­ swers are not as easy as the questions. In a free en­ terprise system, there will always be swings of the economic pendulum - prices go high . . . profits are up ... then new competitors are attracted . . . prices and profits go down. So why isn't it working like that? Most economists who advocate the free enterprise system say the culprit is govern­ ment's tinkering with the economy. They argue that free enterprise should operate with the emphasis on FREE. Controlled-free enterprise is a contradiction in terms. You can't have "control" and "free" both describing the same economy. It needs to be one or the other. We've seen evidence that y"""tthe "free" will work. It built ^Tthe greatest nation with the highest living standard in the history of the world. FREE enterprise is still the best system . . You Can BANK On It! v CLIMB ABOARD A SIMPLICITY LANDLORD. NOW...THERFS A GARDEN TRACTOR!
