PLAQUE HISTORIC CHAPEL (Continued from pog* 1) at Johnsburg and walk to the little chapel, where Mass would be read. The oldest son of MaryMuller, John M. Muller also received special help and protection from the Virgin Mary. His wife died at the age of 36 years and he became the sole support of his family of eight children. Many private petitions are laid at the feet of the Virgin Mary. Later; thank-you notes of gratitude can be found in the same location. The care of the chapel has been handed down from John M. Muller's daughters to grandchildren. Only once in its long history has the chapel had major vandalism. At Thanksgiving time two years ago, * someone stole the century old Stations of the Cross with their antique frames. Their value has been estimated at $1,000. Nothing of this great value remains. > Family members indicated they will now seek to have the chapel ac­ cepted for placement in the Illinois Historical society register. O.K. DUCK FUND AID (Continued from Pepping's motion so that the city would augment the "Peed The Dude" campaign up to $300. The vote to amend. the motion passed 4 to 3. Aldermen Meurer, Smith, Datz and Bime voted in favor. Aldermen Pepping, Nolan and Serritella opposed. Alderman Michael Wieser was absent. - Aldermen Pepping, Nolan and Serritella voted against the motion to amend because they favored the flat, $260 donation to the campaign. Voting in the majority, the other coundlmen wanted to supplement the money raised by donation. The amended motion passed on a 6 to 1 vote. Alderman Cecilia Serritella cast the sole dissenting vote. In other business, Mayor Joseph Stanek appointed Alderman Busse to the Police committee. Alderman Jack Pepping (1st ward) questioned Park Director Peter Merkel about over-expenditure of the Park budget. Pepping said that with five months gone, or shout 41 percent of the fiscal year, the Psrk depart- ivlJ.NJLM>.\Y, Ot lOW'.rt »5K»Z ment had spent about 64.5 percent of its budget. The average expenditure at this point was 47 percent, Pepping said. "You'fe going to be able to go through 60 percent of the year with 30 percent of your budget?" Pepping asked. Merkel said he could, noting the seasonal nature of the Park depart­ ment. The Park director said the big equipment and maintenance ex­ penditures had already been made and summer help was gone. The council approved the $13,688.82 purchase of the Freund lot on Maple avenue for an extension of roadway into McHenry Lakes Estates sub­ division. At the mayor's request, the council okayed the paving of the alley bet­ ween West avenue and Clearview at a cost of about $1,500. The Purchasing committee, chaired by Alderman Ronald Meurer (4th ward) recommended the purchase of two, two-and-a-half ton dumptrucks from Buss Ford. The measure was approved unanimously, v The Park department is looking into the installation of either coin-operated or direct line phones in the paries, primarily for emergency use. No action was taken. The council also tabled action to allow group homes for the develop- mentally disabled as a permitted use in R-l and R-2 residential districts. Any change in the Zoning ordinance will have to come before the Zoning Board of Appeals. The council approved the payment of $1,231 to Norbert Sauers, a former Village of McHenry Shores police officer, who sued the village after his employment was terminated. Sauers charged that he was entitled to insurance coverage for his wife's pregnancy, which the village ap­ parently never obtained. The court awarded the $l,200-plus, which in­ cludes court costs and processing fees. Sauers also claimed he had an "employment contract" with the village and was unlawfully ter­ minated. Thus, the village owed him the remainder of his year's salary. The court brought judgment against Sauers on this point. Police Chief George Pasenelli reported that the tricycle safety clinic held last weekend was "very suc- i) cessful" with more than 200 bicyclists participating. Halloween hours were set from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 31. The chief urged parents, where possible, to ac­ company their children, stay in their neighborhoods and know the people to be "trick or treated." GIVE SCAM WARNING (Continued from pogo 1) said, the department received a call from another victim. In this scheme, the con-man as an employee of the Mc Savings and Loan and said someone was trying to withdraw $5,000 from the victim's account. The fake em­ ployee wanted her to come down to the savings and loan. Instead of meeting the phony em­ ployee, the victim called the McHenry Savings and Loan, where an employee told her to notify the McHenry Pol department. "Two different schemerc6ccurring' at about the same time and no one was hurt," Pasenelli said. He also credited the news media with repeatedly making people aware of the various schemes and how they work. Woodstock Police Chief William Patrick reported no instances of the con-games being perpetrated in the area. He noted, however, that all the Woodstock area banks were alerted after he received word from Chief Pasenelli last Friday. "Typically, they'll hit one area and then move on," Chief Patrick said. Likewise, in Crystal Lake, Police Chief Samuel Johns said, "We haven't been hit by anything like that here, but all the area banks have been notified." < The bank examiner scam is not a new one and it has been used in McHenry and McHenry county before. Police officials and bankers alike urge citizens to call either the Police department or the bank if someone purporting to be a bank examiner or auditor should call. As Woodstock banker Lawrence Hansen noted, "No federal officer or agency will ever approach a customer for any reason." . Pasenelli poihted out that the usual "targets" for the con-man are the elderly. Many times, the people believe they are actually helping to catch a dishonest teller or solve a computer problem. NO WASTE WATER DISPOSAL (Continued from page 1) temporary blockage. The RDG spokesman said a snowplow had knocked the cap off a manhole and gravel and sand from the roadway had washed into the sewer during the April rain. "You nc*er know what will get into the sanitary sewer," Berg said. "We did find it surcharged for three or four hours, which raised the level and caused the backup in that house." Berg commented that in a heavy July rain, there was no problem anywhere in the system. "Those homes will have occasional problems because they are at a lowpoint in the system," he added. E FATHER- LIKE SON (Continued from page 1) specializing in policy and procedure development and purchasing- contracting. A'lifelong resident of the McHenry area, John Regner attended St. John's and St. Mary's schools and McHenry East campus. He graduated from Marquette university, Milwaukee, Wis., with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. He received a Master's degree in Public Administration from Webster college, St. Louis, Mo. Regner spent many years as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army, serving tours of duty in West Germany, South Vietnam, Maryland, South Carolina and Kentucky. He is currently a major in the reserves. "I'm extremely pleased and honored to succeed to the position," John Regner said. "I look forward to serving the electors in the same fine tradition, using a minimal tax base." Regner ssid the position represented a challenge which he fully intended to meet. "I've been a long-time township resident," he pointed out. "It's not as though a new guy were coming in." Clarence Regner said he was happy to retire, looking forward to "doing some of the things I've been neglec­ ting." Regner said he could now take time for fishing, traveling and some golf. "I'm very happy to leave the job to someone I know will do a fine job," the elder Regner said. Regner said the construction and reconstruction of "many, many miles of roads" really stands out in his memory. When Regner took office, the commissioner iiad (me, old truck at his disposal. "We've built up a fleet of trucks, loaders and graders," Regner said. "Today we have the finest roads, equipment and buildings in northern Illinois...maybe even the state." MUSIN' AND MEANDEJHN' (Continuod from page 1) $5,000 saw an addition built on the courthouse on the square in Wood­ stock. Maybe it wasn't a big bargain almost 80 years ago, but the pittance today resulted in the construction a 14X25-foot addition which ran the full height of the courthouse. The problem of clean water existed then as it does today, but the cir­ cumstances varied. In this front page story readers were informed, "As the Plaindealer predicted, it was about time that some action was taken. We are pleased to note that no dead birds of any kind were found in the tank, but the silt and filth found at the bottom was enough to turn a strong stomach". Ladies' wrappers were big news at the general store of Block & Bethke and sold for a price of 96 cents to $1.29. With little modesty, the ad­ vertisement listed them as the best ever shown in McHenry - "wrappers that are made of percale, not calico, and are not scrimpy but full 3 yards wide". Another promotion of a medical cure noted that one particular product was the "safest and surest remedy .... if the patient is not beyond medical aid". We probably wouldn't have ap­ preciated them nearly as much if we had been part of the times, but the good old days are worth enough chuckles to brighten any day this year of 1962.

Courthouse Squares <q A SIGNATURE ALWAYS REVEALS A MAM'S CHARACTER - AMD, ONCE IM A WHILE, MIS NAME.1. sr. by Angela Burden 2 SHAW MHMA NEWS SBVKS , The Marengo Packing Co. was closed down after a four-week state investigation which resulted in an early weekend raid that found car­ casses of uninspected animals, authorities said. Steven Kline, administrator of the investigative-compliance section of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, said the raiders found several suspect animals ready for slaughter that were uninspected or possibly diseased. Kline said meat from those animals could be unfit for human consumption and the animals should not even have been considered for slaughter, without inspection. State inspectors are on hand to examine animals for slaughter five- days-a-week and not on Saturdays, when the packing plant has been observed operating without an in­ spector, said Dr. Paul Doby, superintendent of the state agricultural department's division of meat, poultry and livestock. "Bad meat doesn't necessarily kill you, but it can give a person an upset stomach with flu-like symptoms," Kline said. The state veterinarian assigned to inspect cattle at the Marengo plant has ^een taken off that assignment pending a hearing. The veterinarian, who was not identified, was not authorized by the state to be at the packing plant on Saturdays and has not reported on his activities there, authorities said. He should have stepped the slaughter, they said. The Marengo Packing Co. plant, located south of Marengo on Route 23, is one of the largest state-licensed slaughter establishments in Illinois, according to Kline. Kline said the raid, at 6:20 a.m. Saturday at the slaughterhouse, was conducted with assistance from the Illinois Department of Law En­ forcement's Division of Internal In­ vestigation. The investigation was developed after information was received from ah informant, Kline said. He said while investigators were observing the plant, an animal that could not stand and two dead animals were taken into the premises. "Dead animals cannot enter a state- licensed plant," Kline said. He explained that it is mandatory for all animals to be inspected before slaughter and during the Saturday operations there were no inspectors on hand.

IDENTIFY ADDRESS In an account of a police report involving John Bassett, arrested for possession of marijuana and trespassing, the Plaindealer carried his address as 2717 Russett road, McHenry According to the Records department of the McHenry County Sheriffs police, Bassett at first gave that as his address. Later he told police his correct address was 2404 Riverside drive, McHenry. MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE u J.th, CLEARANCE CENTER 301 W.
