PAGE 4 - P1JMNDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JUNE IS. 1M3 EARL WALSH" So I Hear It is always a I call on Leo time for me when . We cover a lot of ground pertaining to McHenry history and humorous events that occurred along the way. It was about time I returned some old books covering people and events of yesteryear. Just before returning the books I caught sight of some history of Barreville. Hie building still stands that was built by Thomas Combs as a store. In 1854 there was a Post Office in Silverlake Prairie. Ten years later, the Po6t Office was moved to the Barreville store. It doesn't seem too long ago when thev also designated the store location as a polling place. History tells us a mill was built in the unincorporated village in 1857. After changing ownership several times, the mill was remodelled in 1884 by Louis Munch who advertised "patent flour". Those business places in Barreville are gone but some attractive homes have been built Had a call from a lady who is trying to gather some history about Lily Lake. Just remembered the lengthy report in the Plaindealer Centennial issue. With that information and more from the Village of Lily Lake offices, the lady should be in business. One of "Earl's Girls" Sharon Klontz, sends a note with sports clippings which Bryan thought I would enj enjoy.

Bryan says it is fun backing a 1st place White Sox team. Frank Flaga sent a Pistakee Yacht Club year book to us with the "Kindly Dentist" acting as delivery boy. Frank is Secretary and Chairman of the year book. The book is informative, spiced with humorous pictures and snappy headings. I read it from cover to cover and will go through it again. It was like running the gantlet as we moved from Bimbo s front door to the river front room in the evening after the Cubs won their sixth straight game It was John Rogers and Junior Bimbo who started the chant to let me know about their Cub supermen. I didn't see Judge and Fran Herrmann until we were past, but Pat brought us a note written on a place mat. The note was headed: D DAY + 1. Mv note went back giving my name and Irish Prairie address. Back came a note from: Frank Herrmann Big Foot Prairie Chemung Township Harvard, Illinois. Must take a tour out that-a-way and see if we can find Big Foot Nobody has more fun than people! After all the monkeybusiness, on the way out we met one of my favorite girls, Lucille Geraty. That made my Xs her son-in-law, John assisted her to their table, I best to get into the act The best laugh in a long time came when I opened the mail and found a dipping of that now famous picture of me standing beside Bus No. 50. Above the clipping, we read: Dear W. C.Fields- , Would you buy a used school buss from this man? Everybody I showed it to got a good laugh--and I showed it to everybody I met. It wasn't signed, but was on a John E. Loose letterhead. That was enough. This was a surprise party that was kept secret for several weeks. The big surprise came in presenting Pastor Graef and his wife with tickets that will take them mi a 10-day trip to the Holy Land. (It was jokingly noted the tickets were round trip.) i We were honored to be invited to join Pastor Graef and his family on this special occasion. • like Mikie in the cerealads -- we liked it , SUNNYSIDE AREA Alvina and I are a little bit to have SSES?« oftheZion Sunday. more than included in a Pastor Herman Church on The popular Pastor was celebrating his 25tn anniversary of his Ordination.

Drive defensively and know how to recognize hazards in time to avoid an accident. Here are th ree t ips f rom the Na t iona l Safe ty Council's Defensive Driving course: 1. To avoid head-on collisions: Drive to the right, reduce speed, and go off the pavement, if necessary, to avoid an oncoming car in your lane. Never veer to the left, except as a last resort. 2. To enter an ex­ pressway safely: Match your speed to that of through traffic and blend right in. Stay with the pace of the majority of cars. Stop only in an emergency aixtnever back up. 3. To protect against chain-reaction crashes: Stay well behind other vehicles. Use your turn signals when you pass or change lanes and read signs. Also, when you leave an ex­ pressway, slow down to the posted ramp speed, if a tailgater is a problem, don't get angry. Slow down to encourage the tailgater to pass you. Rear end collisions are the most frequent type of accident on expressways. If you have any questions about the Secretary of State's office, please feel free to use our toll-free telephone number (800- 252-8960).
