APRIL 27, 1984 general News Baby chicks perish in weekend barn blaze Crime of the week Ibis week Crime Stoppers is seeking information on a string of burglaries to autos that have occurred in a one-block area in Marengo. Beginning on April 1, a 1973 Buick, parked in the 100 block of east Grant Street was broken into when the driver's side window was smashed. A Fuzz- buster radar detector was stolen from that car. On April 5, a 1982 Buick was entered and a Delco AM-FM radio was stolen. 459-4800 On April 17 the target was an '83 Ford van. A styrofoam cooler, several tapes and in­ terior lights were stolen. Total loss in these three thefts exceeds $650. All the vehicle were entered prior ;to 11 p.m. and all were in the vitinity of the Phase n nightclub and the Marengo Bowling Alley. Police investigators believe the same person or persons are responsible for all the burglaries. Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards of up to $1,000 for in­ formation that leads to the arrest and filing of criminal charses against offenders. If you nave any information on these burglaries to cars in Marengo, or information on any other crimes, call Crime Stoppers at 8Er45M800. All callers remain anonymous. One never needs to give a name. Crime Stoppers, which is sponsored by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, assigns secret numbers to all anonymous callers who provide information. Callers are in­ structed to call back at regular intervals to find out if any suspects have been arrested as a result of confidential in­ formation given. > If there are arrests, the Crime Stoppers board of directors then meets to determine an ap­ propriate reward. A secret meeting is arranged to make the cash reward payments. Anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers do not have to appear in court. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 3, 1934) The fire department responded to two calls over the weekend, the first one being at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J.A. Craver Saturday morning. Here the barn, in which baby chicks were housed, had caught fire and considerable damage was done before the fire truck reached the place and ex­ tinguished the blaze. About 100 baby chicks were killed by the fire. wice Dutch auctions are gaining in popularity and seem to be about the #only method by which property can be sold nowadays. Taking the cue from leisurely Holland where auction prices go down instead of up; where the auctioneer does the bidding, each time at a lower figure, and the prospective buyers merely stand idly around until they decide when the price suits them. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 4, 1944) A gym show of gigantic proportions is being planned by the high school girls and their athletic director, Miss Maurie Taylor, lor Friday night. About 110 girls will participate in the program which will demon­ strate all the various kinds of gym work done this yqar. They will prove to the public that their gym classes are not just hours of fun playing basketball, hockey, etc. but are periods of drilling and calisthenics for the purpose of improved coordination, agility and gracefulness. The Office of Price Ad­ ministration announced that most meats would be removed from rationing beginning May 3. The order frees all meat and meat products except beef roasts and most beef steaks. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 30, 1950) On Saturday, May 2, voters in the McHenry Fire Protection district will go to the polls to express themselves on the proposed River Valley Park district to serve the recreational needs of the area. The men who will serve as park board com­ missioners are offering their services without compensation, so that McHenry may be able to offer needed recreational facilities as the area grows. A concertized version of Bizet's opera, "Carmen," popular selections from the stage play, "Lil' Abner", and scenes from Victor Herbert's "The Red Mill" and "Sweethearts" will be featured on the annual spring program of the McHenry Choral club. Local firemen had another busy week, but this time their calls were not for grass fires. Last Tursday, they hurried to the Farmers Co-op on Waukegan road when a belt on a grinder burned. There was no other damage. At the Chester Howe farm on Route 120 a corn crib was reported burning. However, when the department arrived, they found it was only something Mr. Howe was burning in the field. On Friday, a chair was found smouldering in Pistakee Highlands. Mrs. Dorothy Rodannel collapsed from shock and smoke after carrying the chair from the house. She was taken to McHenry Hospital by the rescue squad. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 26, 1974) Members of the 180th Preventive Medicine Army Reserve unit visited the McHenry community last Saturday and at the request of the McCullom Lake Con­ servation club assisted in determining the cause of swimmer's itch which has plagued many during the past summer seasons. With early treatment of the water, the club feels this may be a fine summer for swimmers. About 50 people attended an informal meeting last week at Valley View school conducted by personnel of the . Illinois Department of Transportation, Elgin office. Its purpose was to inform residents living along Route 120, between Greenwood- Charles road and Ringwood- Draper road, of proposed plans to improve that section of the highway. Carson Besserud, 2414 W. Lincoln, and Mark Thonn, 4114 Sunset lane, juniors at West Campus, observed a county worker picking up trash along the road. In the interest of their class study on environmental science, they questioned him and found the county has five such trucks, each manned by two. Every truck covers two and a half miles a day. . Deciding to pursue what they realized was a big problem,"they started a long effort to learn what they could do about the, high cost of cleaning up the county. Agreeing with some official's observation that cleanliness begins at home, they enlisted the help of other students in cleaning up the commons area of West Campus. With the encouragement of their environmental science teacher, Kenneth Ludwig, 12 local students were joined by students from Crystal Lake and Marian High School in a meeting held in Woodstock. The next time you drive down Crystal Lake road and eqjoy cleanliness where a trash heap now stands, remember to credit the far-sightedness of some youthful good citizens. HkiIi rates.
