" wmm; >r> PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER If k Twice Told Tales HKTV YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept 17. 1931) Six Chicagoans were rescued from drowning Sunday afternoon in a drama of heroism and tragedy at Fox Lake as Frank Gans of McHenry saved them at the risk of his own life. The cause of the near tragedy * SV * (\°% & was a sudden storm which broke over Fox lake when wind, rain and hail beat across the' treacherous waters of the lake, making it dangerous for crafts unable to reach shore. Gans was in a speedboat used as a demonstrator for the Hunter Boat company and was able to rescue the six persons clinging to a small boat. An early fall wedding was solemnized at St. Mary's church, Sept. 12, when Miss Kathrine Blum and Mr. Paul Brefeld were; united in marriage at St. Mary's Catholic church. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 18, 1941) Should there b6 any parent who is worried about the safety of his children who ride to and from school each day on the school bus, let us inform you that every possible precaution is being taken, insofar as the mechanical working order of the bus, the equipment and the physical and moral fitness of the driver himself is concerned. To every school operating a bus service for their pupils in Illinois, a booklet is issued, entitled "Safe Tran­ sportation," and it contains the rules and regulations 1981 governing school pupil transportation in the state. The City Council met in special session with the greater part of the time spent in discussion of con­ tinuation or termination of Daylight Saving Time on Sept. 28. "Old Time" or Central Standard prevailed. The ordinance provides that the city revert to Central Standard Time on the last Sunday in September. An amending ordinance would be necessary to effect a change. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of September 20, 1956) McHenry Council No. 1288, Knights of Columbus, will extend observance of Columbus day to Sunday, Oct. 14, and will start the day by attending 8 o'clock Mass at Christ the King church, Wonder Lake. A family breakfast will follow in Mathews hall near the church. The local council recently purchased a tract of land on which they expect to erect a building, perhaps during the coming year, which will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the McHenry organization. Following many appeals and placing of courtesy tickets on cars, the City Council finally found it necessary to pass an or­ dinance prohibiting all-night parking on all city streets. This will replace what was termed the snow-removal •if i f ordinance passed last year to aid the street department in removing snow. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 22, 1971) The city of McHenry will receive a total of $1,148.01 as its share of a state distribution of $1,884,071.14 to counties and municipalities as their share of the July state income tax collection.
