GOD BLESS Twice Told Tales UTWlAM FROZEN SOFT It won't be long before you may be seeing frozen pancake batter and orange juice concen­ trate that can be poured without thawing. One of the latest break­ throughs in frozen-foods tech­ nology is a new process that allows products to freeze with­ out making them brick hard. GO PISTACHIOS! Pistachio lovers should be pleased to hear that the much- prized nut which has historical­ ly come from Iran and Turkey is now growing bigger and bet­ ter on U.S. soil. The young California pis­ tachio industry may be the world leader as soon as recent­ ly-planted acreage comes into full production. Heat Loss If any part of your body is cold, put on a hat or scarf. Almost 90 percent of the body's heat loss is at the bead. If the head is covered up, the excess heat that can no longer be lost goes to other places, to the hands or feet, for instance, making these areas wanner. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Tsken from the files of December 18, i960) The charity conceit given by the combined McHenry, Crystal Lake and Dundee Ugh school orchestras at the McHenry Community high school auditorium was a big success, financially as well as in its rendition, and much commendation was given to the group of young people who so cheerfully and willingly gave their time and talents in promoting the cause of charity. The concert was sponsored hy the Mothers chib and Catholic Daughters of America of this city and these two organizations will receive the net proceeds for use in helping needy families and relieving suffering in this vicinity during the winter months. Postermaster Albert Krause informs us that someone has been stuffing refuse in the new mail box at the corner of Green and Elm streets. It is presumed that this is being done by young b^ys. Parents are asked to warn their children. Uncle Sam will not countenance such actions and the penalty might be heavy. FORTY YEARS (Taken from the files December 19, 1940) Figures released by County Clerk Raymond D. Woods revealed that the valuation of property in McHenry county decreased from $35,253,657 in 1939 to $35,192,366 in 1940. The total assessed valuation of all property in the county as assessed by the various assessors, equalized by the county board of review and state tax commission is $35,192,366.

V TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of December 8, 1965) One of the most active members at the 4-H Club Congress in Chicago was Miss Mary Lynn Hogan of Ringwood, daughter of the John Hogans, who represented Illinois in the national leadership contest with five years of junior leadership. Loren Boppart, Woodstock, was another of the outstanding represen­ tatives at the Congress, being a state and national winner in the electric awards program. The special election held in McHenry brought out more spirited interest than has been seen in recent contests. The heaviest vote and closest race took place in the second ward, where Glenn D. Dixon was successful in winning the aldermanic post vacated by Donald Johnson. Dixon drew 84 votes while 70 were cast for his opponent, Robert A. Stueben. In the third ward, George J. Kauss, Jr., had the hacking of 78 voters against a total of 36 for William Goettsche. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 18, 1970) Representatives of 14 churches have met to form a new group called the Church Women United, an ecumenical organisation to unite the efforts of Christian people in a variety of ways. Mrs. Mae Strinespring, McHenry, is the presiduit. The group has chosen a new banner to depict its desire to work together and its symbol is "Hand to Hand", designed by Mrs. Martha Dresen. The Warriors saw a nine point lead disappear into a seven point deficit, then came back to win 87-88 en a fifteen foot Jump shot from the corner by Mark Hoffman with only three seconds left in the game. With 2:98 remaining, McHenry led 66- 56 only to see the veteran Wildcats of Libertyville overtake them with a ten foot turn-around jumper to put Libertyville up by one point with only 10 seconds remaining. The Warriors quickly brought the ball up the court and Joe Dehn made a perfect pass to Hoffman who was open in the corner and his shot was perfect. Property Tax Relief Forms Now Available 1980 senior citizen tax relief forms should be in the mail by now, reports State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. "For the first time since 1972, the maximum income limit has been raised. In­ stead of only those earning less than $10,000 from all sources being eligible, legislation passed this year increases the limit to $12,000", Skinner said. Those who have received property tax relief forms from the Illinois Department of Revenue in the past can expect to receive them again this year. Those who will turn 65 during 1960 and those receiving from $10,000 to $12,000 income from all sources probably will not receive forms from the state. Copies may be ob­ tained by writing State Rep. Skinner's office at 35 East Crystal Lake avenue, Crystal Lake, or the Illinois Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 3124, Springfield, m., 62706.
