P AGE 20 - PLA u\DEALER - FRIDAY. TWO BUSINESS ANNIVERSARIES PETER M. JUSTEN & SON (Continued from pag* 1) However, when the first auto hearse was manufactured, Nick Justen purchased one of the first power- driven hearses in the county. It was in 1915 that his son, Peter M. Justen, entered the business and in 1939 built the funeral home which serves the community today. The latter's son, Daniel A. Justen, took over management and operation of the business in 1958, later engaging the services of Laverne R. Sund, who is still affiliated with the business. GEORGE R. JUSTEN & SON (Continued from pag* 1) interest of Albert and the name was changed to the same the firm carries today." Upon the death of George in 1960, Robert took over ownership of the funeral home and a younger son, Dennis, took over ownership of the furniture store. This landmark was destroyed by fire in April of 1969 and never replaced. In 1975, Mark and Krista justen, children of Robert, joined the business, making Hie fourth generation to serve the community. As their observance of the 100th annivesary of the business, the George R. Justen & Son funeral home, 3519 W. Elm street, is sponsoring Music Fest '82 Sept. 25 from 1 to 11:15 p.m. in Pearl street park. Pictures of entertainers appear elsewhere in this issue. At the event, the McHenry and Johnsburg Rescue squads will be handling the beer wagon Jo raise necessary money to operate the squads. The Lions, Kiwanis, nad Jaycees have been asked to be the food vendors and money raised by these groups will also benefit the McHenry community. Money raised by the civic groups help the park program, blind, han­ dicapped, and other programs. Music including Jazz, Blues, Country and Western, Folk and Rock are planned. Also, Stage and Show bands will make their appearance. SEPTEMBER 17,1982 SEARCH FOR • ANSWERS TO CARE OF SEVERELY DISABLED * . (Continued from pogo 1) desirable method is to use existing agencies. Ms. Roberts said, "It needs autonomy." Ms. Patla added, "It (the new system) should be in effect in 1964 and start next July". Smith delcared, "We can predict a radical change in service delivery systems. Things are really different since the federal grant (act) was written." He believed most of the changes are positive and they can do well with them by controlling ex­ penses and doing things better with the money. "It's a big challenge. If we don't face up to it, we can be back to where we were. People (in the mental health system) who can perform will remain in the business." Board chairman, Jan Marsh of Woodstock, urged that they get the new members of the P & M Board into " the meetings as soon as possiole. This would include one representative from each of the three major organizations who are permanent members in the 706 system; Family Services and Mental Health Center, Pioneer center, the Psychiatric In­ patient unit at Memorial hospital, and Family Alliance, Inc. (senior citizen counseling service) as a rotating member. Changes in the P & M board structure were made in a recent meeting following the state assump­ tion of the distribution of block grants of federal mental health money. MUSIN' AND; MEANDERIN' (Continued from pogo 1) heralding the arrival of a new season of programs. ...Unmatched aromas emanating from the kitchens of cooks using products of a prolific garden or fruit tree. ...Bicycles - hundreds of them - with drivers who are no more aware of fast ihoving autos than they were in summer. drivers, hurrying to get somewhere, or nowhere, and still oblivious to the dangers of the youngster on foot or bike. ...Politicians on the march in pursuit of an office in the November election. ...Club officers* busy getting0 volunteers to help launch a new year. ...Girls on the tennis courts, en­ forcing their rights to dominion over the playing surface in fall. ...Newspaper editors (and everyone else on the staff) looking for some excuse to play hookey on beautiful, crisp days when the sun gives way to darkness all too soon. KAF GOLD DISCOVERY IN McHENRY (Continued from page 1) has recently experienced. For the first time, participating local merchants, retailers and businesses will allow their customers to prospect for 24 Kt. pure gold in the form of Gold-In-Card! Gold-In-Card, the product of Superior Gold company, is a small gold ingot, laminated to a certificate of authenticity. Gold-In-Card is approximately the size of a credit card and contains a 24 Kt. grain of pure gold, making it the smallest and most affordable offering of gold available today. For the first time, consumers can prospect for the precious metal, without charge, merely by shopping in McHenry, at the various locations displaying the "Gold Available Here" poster. Customers will receive a "Prospector's Gold Card", which upon scratching off the silver stare,* will reveal if they are a winnepf" Non-winning game cards will read: "Keep On Digging". Winning game cards will read: "You've Struck GOLD!" Winning game cards can then be redeemed only at the Erticipating merchant, retailer or siness Who issued the game card! Over 6,000 grains of pure 24 karat gold will be given away during the course of this promotion. Under the 4feeme of "Strike It Rich In Our Town - McHenry, Illinois", Fran Olsen, executive director of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, is extremely excited with the "Gold Theme" promotion. Said Mrs. Olsen, "This is one of the most exciting, unified town efforts to draw business into our town, and to keep them coming back for More & More gold!" The McHenry "Gold Rush" promotion is scheduled to begin Sept. 1% and continue through Dec. 18. However, this promotion officially ends upon distribution of all game cards. At the conclusion of this promotion, various other "Gold Theme" promotions are in the works. DEADLINE FOR TRACK PURCHASE (Continued from 1) More recently the ICC ruled that both parties must accept a quit-claim deed. That means the railroad must quit their interest in it," Hennerley said. Thomas Judge, manager of public relations for the C4NW, seemed dissatified with the price ruling, adding "we're going to have to live with it." However, the rail carrier is pleased that the ICC opted for a quit­ claim rather than a warranty deed. He said while the former gives up all property rights the C&NW now possess, it does not bind the company to guarantee these rights will remain forever. "All the jights are ours," Judge said. "But iii the course of time that may not be true." There is no threat of the land reverting to original owners as long as the association maintains common carrier status, Judge said. But if they decide to mine or otherwise use the land, he warned an unforseen com­ plication might arise. Hennerley said he expects no problems lining up the money now that definite guidelines have been determined. The Wisconsin Depart­ ment of Transportation is providing a one-year loan totaling $454,076. The rest is coming from private investors. He added that in order to make the line profitable the GLA is examining recreational uses in addition to freight and passenger service. Regardless, what it is used for and when the GLA assumes control, Hennerley acknowledges that the track is in need of repair. The line is operable at reduced speeds, but Hennerly said the GLA membership -- composed of area businessmen and the municipalities of Lake Geneva, Fontana, Genoa City and Richmond -- forsees spending about $400,000 over the next three years to repair track, stations and other rail equipment. County Mayors To Hear Candidates Candidates for various offices will appear before the Wednesday, Sept. 22, meeting of the McHenry County Municipal association. It will be held at Giordano's, Fox River Grove, and will be hosted by President Harold Norbrothen and the Village of Fox River Grove. A 6:30 social hour will be followed by 7:30 dinner. ?

Make Arrest In City Vandalism A 19-year-old McHenry man has been arrested, and charged in con­ nection with shooting out a large window at McHenry Favorite Sports Center, 1210 N. Green street, McHenry. Lawrence Halverson, 2708 Justen road, McHenry, was charged with criminal damage to property over $300. Halverson reportedly used a BB gun to shoot out the window. A domestic dispute Sept. 14 ended with the arrest of Gary W. Dawson, 24, of 4605 W. Elm street, McHenry. Police were called to the residence at 5:30 a.m. A traffic stop resulted in drug and firearm charges being brought against Paul L. Olmen, 18, of 2613 Emerald court, McHenry. Olmen faces charges of possession of can­ nabis and possession of a firearm without a firearm owner's iden­ tification (FOI) card. Two autos speeding side-by-side on Route 31, near Route 14, attracted the attention of the McHenry County Sheriff's police. The county police chased the two vehicles at speeds that surpassed 90 mph. The drivers of the vehicles, Carl Smith, 19, of 300 Valhalla Court, Crystal Lake, and Roger Reid, 21, of 2409 Bittersweet, McHenry, were charged with speeding.
