Assistant State's Attorney Paul Ryske told the court the conduct of the defendant was unreasonable, because there was no force threatened against him and he was in no danger of imminent harm. The state contended Roza had a knife in a sheath and after the phone calls and banging on doors he withdrew the knife from the sheath, opened the door and "plunged the knife into the victim." * Ryske said the action was unreasonable because the person who knocked on the front door could possibly have been an injured motorist seeking help or a neighbor needing assistance. Judge Floeter said that in a preliminary hearing the state need not prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the judge said, the state of mind of the defendant immediately prior to the stabbing incident had to be considered. The 'judge ruled that the defendant reasonably believed he was justified in his acts because of probable danger. Asked if the state would continue with its charges and take the case to the grand jury for possible indictment, Poper said he didn't believe so. "The state will review the transcript of the preliminary hearings, as we will," Poper said. He added that the judge heard all the evidence and there is no in­ dication the state will take the case before the grand jury. Ryske said no decision on a grand jury hearing would be considered until the transcript was reviewed. NURSES MEET The Northeastern division of the Illinois Association of School Nurses will hold its annual spring meeting and dinner Wednesday, March 21, at 6 p.m. at Mack's Silver Pheasant, north of St. Charles. 50 YEARS AGO (Taken trom the files of March 22, 1934). The Riverside Dairy is inaugurating the use of new and modern milk bottles this week and representatives of the company will make personal demonstrations to every customer. This new bottle is wice known as the "cream top" bottle and, with the spoon separator, will be furnished by Fred Ferwerda, proprietor of the Riverside Dairy, to his customers at no extra charge. Twenty-eight years ago, in March, 1906, Fox River Camp, No. 3251 R.N.A., was organized and the observance of this date has been an annual event in the history of the camp. Members of the camp met to celebrate the twenty-eighth anniversary of the camp and in so doing, also observed the thirty-ninth an­ niversary of the beneficial department of the adult society and the sixteenth anniversary of the Juvenile department. Among the sick: Virginia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Williams, has been ill with pneumonia. David Page, little son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Page, is recovering from an illness in which he was taken to St. Anthony's Hospital, Chicago, for examination. 40 YEARS AQO (Taken from the files of March 23, 1944) One of the "firsts" in wartime stories concerning our little community centers around four boys, Francis Cox, Alex Justen, James Larkin and Phillip Doherty. To our knowledge they are the first of our boys from McHenry not only to be sent to the same camp but to remain together there for a period of five months. The four were inducted in the Army on Oct. 21, 1943, and after a short period at Camp Grant, were sent to Camp Chaffee, Ark., where they will remain. William Green of Court Street, McHenry, has been graduated from recruit training as honor man of his company at the U.S. Naval Training station and is 3425 W.

This Palm Sunday will be an especially Joyous one for Faith Presbyterian Church members, for it will mark their first worship service in the new church at Johnsburg and Lin­ coln roads. A ten-voice choir will sing two selections. Rev. Jack Mcfntrye will preach on the subject "Jesus the King". From Musin' and Meanderin': "We think it's carrying St. Patrick's day just too far when someone goes tampering with the city's electric stop and go lights. Driving north on Green Street Tuesday afternoon, only the green lights flashed. So I Hear might tell you it's just an Irish gremlin responsible, but we think the city cleric just might have been interfering a bit himself. A couple of colleagues probably won't admit it, but the blarney was as thick as the shamrocks this week Tuesday when the Irish honored St. Patrick." w I MATERNITY UN I FORMS IN STOCK! £ 10 YEARS AQO (Taken from the files of March 13, 1974). Flooding of the Fox River causes great concern. Flooding in the area surrounding McHenry will be around for awhile. That was the word from Civil Defense headquarters. Civil Defense Director John Shay of McHenry reported that one of the problems is the high content of water in the retention basis, the Chain O' Lakes. The inlet at Wilmot, Wis., where the Fox river enters Illinois, noted a decrease for a few days over the weekend. Even then, engineers were reluctant to express too much otpimism. Even a small rain, $ey said, could cause major problems because the ground is "super-saturated" and the creeks and streams are loadedt Ground breaking for the permanent facilities of McHenry County College was held March 10. An estimated 400 people were in attendance as 15 ground breakers "pushed dirt" at the site for the first time. Hie two campus buildings will be located on U.S. Route 14 near Lucas Road, near Crystal Lake. Will assures intended property disposal Question - "My son, who has always made me feel that he wants his mother and me to have the best of everything, insists that when I retire next year we should make wills so that our few assets, including our home, which is mortgage free, will be distributed after our death in a way that we would approve of in life. He says everybody should have a will, especially older people. Do you think he is right?" - Franklin L.M. Answer - "Yes, I think everyone should have a will, especially those who are past 65. to make certain that after death their estates will be distributed as they wish. If an elder owns anything of value in his or her name alone, a will should be made that in­ dicates how the possessions are to be disposed of. The laws in the various states differ, but the states do generally agree on certain procedures in drawing up a will. If those requirements are not met, it is quite possible that a will may not be valid and, therefore, not be recognized by the court, and its provisions will not be enforced. There have been a number of popular books that state the opposite, that attempt to show readers how to draw up their own will. If a person does so, and if that will has some tricky or complex provisions in it, it may be invalid and the result may be that the court will dispose of the property in a way that is com­ pletely different from what was intended. For example, the court could rule that the assets should be given to the state. Franklin should have a will, his wife should have one and so should anyone else who has property that will be disposed of after death. The money spent for a will drawn up by a good lawyer, could be as much as $200 and as little as $50, depending on the value of the estate. Question - "There are two jingles, or songs, that I used to hear on my radio. They are, 'Halo, everybody, hello,' and 'Sox, sox, we're the Interwoven pair." Can you tell me who the sponsors were or anything else about those ditties?" - Samuel K. Answer -1 can't tell you about the "halo" song, and I can finish the fir£t line of the "sox" jingle. It goes like this: "Sox, sox, we're the Interwoven pair, Billie Jones and Ernie Hare." The radio sponsor in 1932 was the manufacturer of Interwoven Sox. If Samuel wants to know for sure, he can write to Stanley Kilarr, 1402 E. Main Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon 97601. He should expect to pay a dollar or two for the information. WARSAW INN 217 N.
