In a copy of the Wonder Lake Grapevine, an early Wonder Lake publication which Don still has, there is mention of the post office which was located in Reuter's General store. The paper is dated 1952. This was our post office before the present building was built in 1960. Don is really an old timer at Wonder Lake. His family moved here in the late thirties and his father was one of the founders of the Fire department. Don still has one of his report cards from Harrison school dated 1942. I also received in­ formation about the Rolaine Grill which is now King's Row. The Rolaine was built and operated by Ivar Fredrickson and obtained its name by a combination of Fredrickson's two children's names, Ronnie and Elaine I must be getting old because all these facts are so interesting. What's even worse, is the fact that I remember many of them! CUB SCOUT PACK 456 The Cub Scouts of Pack 456 have kept*busy this summer with an activity in June, July, and August in order to earn their summer badges. In June, a trip was taken to the Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin, and a swimming party was held in July. The August outing was to be a softball game but because of many other ac­ tivities planned for the same day, this event had to be cancelled. Instead, another swimming party will be held Aug. 21 from 2-3:30 p.m. at Lisa Kelly's pool. Their first pack meeting will be held in September. SPECIAL DAYS Happy birthday to Len Spencer on Aug. 21.

There are currently no beds available for in-patient psychiatric care in McHenry county, Robert Lesser, coordinator for the new program, said in announcing the start of the program this fall. Patients presently are referred to hospitals as far away as Chicago. When this service starts, a staff of psychiatric nurses and mental health technicians will work with the program along with professionals from the Mental Health Center. Treatment will meet both physical and psychiatric needs, Lesser stressed. "Researchers have shown a strong correlation between physical and mental disorders," he said. Psychiatric staff members will also use the support services of the hospital. Before patients are ad­ mitted in early fall, Lesser plans to educate not only his staff but all hospital em­ ployees about mental health services. Taste Treat Instead of garlic on your French bread, try a mixture of butter, brown sugar and grated orange or lemon rind. REMEMBERING WHEN - Courtesy of Leo Heimer, the Plaindealer to pleated 10 show a picture of construction of McHenry'i first public water well. This well was dug Just north of the city hall, where in later years a gravel packed well was installed. This to now known as No. 1 or the standby well. The first well dates back to 1897 when the village board decided McHenry needed a public water supply. It was pointed out that the value of property would be increased and insurance rates would be lowered. In spite of these sales pitches in favor of the project, the Plaindealer of that time reported there were a few "kickers". The contract was awarded to H.A. Keith St Co. of Chicago in the amount of $21,662. The few old timers remaining advance the thought that the husky man at the far left in the picture was William Bacon, local well driller. Villus President Story and Superintendent Wentworth reported when work was completed, McHenry could now boast 77'9" of pipe with an 8" stream. It was also reported the flowing well produced 56,000 gallons every 24 hours. Further that the water was clear as crystal and cold as spring water. In addition to the standby well, the city now has four wells in operation producing 1800 gallons per minute. Well No. 7, now under construction, will Eoduce approximately 700 gallons per minute. This Formation was recently put together by Jim Wiser and Gary Gough at the city water plant. Contrasting then and now, the old standpipe on Waukegan street had a capacity of 105 thousand gallons. The large ball in Cooney Heights holds 500,000 gallons. Now another tower to planned near Well No. 7 on Crystal Lake road. Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aide 344-1984 Surprise At Board Meeting The meeting of the Board of Trustees Tuesday, Aug. 11, started with the roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance. After that, President Grimes opened the meeting by reading a letter addressed to the residents of McHenry Shores, containing his resignation. After having promised that the transition would be smooth, David M. Grimes who had been president of the Village of McHenry Shores for over two years, left the meeting. Rich Panerali, the president pro tem, presided over the remainder of the meeting at which, however, due to the surprise an­ nouncement, not much further business was transacted. Village attorney William Cowlin has been approached about the legal aspects of the resignation and the succession. Particulars about the meeting were published in the Aug. 14 issue of the McHenry Plaindealer. Mr. Grimes' letter to the residents is on file at the Village Hall and may be viewed at regular business hours. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING The % newly appointed members of the planning commission were sworn in by trustee Rose Lillegard in a meeting Monday, Aug. 10, joining the only incumbent member Larry Weber. Howard Lexow was elected chairman of this committee. A large part of the meeting was concerned with bringing new members up-to-date on what the commission had accomplished in the past. The proposed boundary line agreement with the village of Prairie Grove had been handed to the board of trustees with the recom­ mendations of the planning commission several months ago, and it had been tabled by the board. The request was made that this agreement be untabled and returned to the planning commission. MARCH OF DIMES The annual Mothers' March of Dimes is getting on the way. The chairman for the McHenry area is Lorre Miller, a resident of McHenry Shores. Captains, lieutenants and marchers are still needed. As you probably know, the March of Dimes, after reaching its first goal of defeating polio, has now turned its attention towards birth defects. Anyone familiar with the plight of the more than 250,000 babies who are born with some kind of birth defect in this country every single year, cannot close their minds against this desperate need. Every baby should have a chance to be born healthy and beautiful. That is what the March of Dimes is all about. Please help us to help, and call Lorre at 385-8446 or Inge at 344-1984.
