PAGE 12 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18.1980 Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 26, 1930) Simon Stoffel, well known West McHenry business man and vice-president of the West McHenry State bank, is now president of the West McHenry State bank and the Peoples State bank of McHenry, having been elected at a meeting of the directors of the banks, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Parker S. Webster of Chicago, former president of the banks. F.A. Bolander, a director of the West McHenry state bank, was elected vice-president to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Stoffel. M L. Schoenholtz, fifth grade teacher in the public school of McHenry, will serve on the Scout staff at the Boy Scout camp at Beloit this summer, in the capacity of swimming, life saving and first aid instructor. From Bacon's Strip: "Hoopy" Schoewer started for the MAACS Sunday and gave not a hit in the four innings he worked before the heat got the best of him. This makes thirteen innings "Hoopy" has worked on the home grounds and but one hit has been made off him. Frank Meyer is the one who has been keeping the MA^C diamond in such excellent shape that all the visiting teams are remarking as to its wonderful condition." FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June ). 1940) The Community Methodist parsonage on Main street is having its face lifted this week and will present a much improved appearance when the new small front porch which is replacing the larger porch along the front of the house is completed. As usual the work is being done by several generous and ambitious men of the church who are giving their time and efforts to complete the much needed improvement. This and other im­ provements and refur­ nishing will be accomplished during the year both on the Methodist church and parsonage in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the organization of the Community Methodist church in McHenry. The 26 students of the eighth grade at St. Mary-St. Patrick school,, were presented with their diplomas when com­ mencement exercises were held in the high school auditorium. The tWo parishes awarded the diplomas and the American Legion school awards went to Grace Bolger and Robert Smith, who have led the class throughout the year. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 23. 1955) Full accreditation by the Joint Committee on Ac­ creditation of Hospitals ranks Memorial Hospital for McHenry County with the nation's best. The McHenry State bank has announced that effective July 1 it will make a 50 percent increase in interest ,rates paid on savings deposits. The board of directors feel that the continued fine return from loans and investments .makes an increase possible. The bank is very pleased to be able to reward its hun­ dreds of savings depositors who through their regular saying habits have kept the savings deposits well in excess of four million dollars. Dick Wissell, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Wissell, distinguished himself by being elected Section 6 FFA vice-president while at­ tending the twenty-seventh annual state FFA con­ vention. Over 2,000 of the 18,000 FFA members in Illinois met at the state fair grounds at Springfield to transact the annual business and to witness the presen­ tation of awards. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 24, 1970) McHenry's 1969 Marine Festival queen has con­ tinued her winning ways to be named Miss Illinois AMVET. Lovely Cheryl Tamao, Pistakee Highlands, who just a year ago earned her first crown by topping a large field of McHenry contestants, was crowned Miss AMVET in ceremonies held in Mount yernon, 111. Cheryl's prizes were a trophy, a crown, a bouquet of roses and her choice of a $500 scholarship or cash award. The new title will send Miss Tamao to New York in Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas Area 385-4934 Firemen Plan Summer Event Men of Company 3, McHenry Township Fire department, are planning a fund raising event to pur­ chase new equipment for our protection. The volunteer firemen will be making house-to-house calls to promote the Summerfest, which will be held Aug. 9, in the hills of Lily Lake Park subdivision. There will be liquid refreshments for the thirsty and grilled sausages and roasted corn for the hungry. There will be music for singing and dancing, with one band from 12 to 5 p.m. August to compete for the national crown. Exuberance because the caliber of entries reveals increased artistic talent, workers at the Country Art Fair in McHenry look for­ ward to the opening of this fourteenth annual event. The works of more than 125 artists in McHenry county will be on display at the McHenry Junior high school. Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Meyer were guests of honor at a dinner held at Floyd's restaurant, Dundee, June 20, in celebration of their golden wedding anniversary.

P.J., (Phyllis, president of Lilymoor association), hosted a yard party on May 25 for Dan. Fifty-three people came to visit, remember, and enjoy each other. Good games of all kinds including volleyball and Polish horseshoes, good food, and good talk, all made for a memorable day. On June 1, Dan returned to New York where he is working with magazine photography. He took with him news of family and friends to be shared with his aunt and uncle, with whom he lives. Dan's friends and family, especially his mother and father Joan and Ivan, wish him success in the Big Ap­ ple. SO SORRY June 14 was a Saturday not a Sunday, as stated in last week's column. John LaBarbara, The Covered Wagon, was not responsible for the "Sunday", as nowhere in the description of the CB'er picnic was that word used. My apology to anyone who went to Petersen park last Sunday, expecting to enjoy White Cat, Gopher, and all the other CB'ers, only to find the picnic was all over, with just chipmunks and squirrels around. MAPLE TREE DAMAGE Alma Hueckstaedt called in regard to the destruction of maple trees in our area. Ruth Freeman had noticed the tops of some dying off. A call to the McHenry County Cooperative Extension Service of University of Illinois in Woodstock, gave general information Tlie culprit is an "or­ namental insect". The eggs are laid on the branches shrouded in a white covering, then develop into caterpillars which com­ pletely strip the leaves off the branches. A spray can be used to destroy the insects. It, is not known if these are as deadly to the trees as the gypsy moth.

COURT SYSTEM Wednesday mornings are always very busy at the Circuit Court traffic proceedings in McHenry. Last Wednesday, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Maribeth Karas, Maggie Dunnagan and I sat in the court room, listening and waiting for a special case to be called. Maribeth had asked for a bench trial to refute a citation she had received after an accident on Route 120 and Crystal Lake road. We were impressed ciy the courtesy, attention and quiet authority of Judge Haskell M. Pitluck throughout the long morning. Prosecuting Attorney, Ms. Regina Narusis, conducted the questioning in a thorough and understanding manner. The many cases were handled efficiently and as quickly as possible, giving those of us waiting a good example of our legal system at work. And how did Maribeth make out? She was exonerated.
