The request was based on lack of pasturage, depleted food stores and consequent added expense and was coin­ cident with the issuance of the weekly government crop bulletin, revealing the need for more rain in the com and wheat region.- In the first sixteen days of May only .02 inches of rain had fallen. The normal for May is 3.54 inches. Sidney Smith, father of the Gumps and other comic sket­ ches, was a Woodstock visitor last Thursday, where his big Dusenberg roadster with the familiar license number, 348, attracted considerable at­ tention. It is reported that the cartoonist is interested in buying a form. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 25, 1944) As our flag is lowered to half mast on Memorial Day in reverence for those who already have given their lives in this war to end all tyranny forever, our heads will also be lowered in prayer. And with our prayer in memory of those departed we must also add another, one full of hope and confidence in those who must carry on, bearing along with their own, the burden of those who against their will have been forced to quit. While Memorial Day must surety bring sorrow into our hearts, let it this year of 1944 also bear a note of en­ couragement and - joy; representative of our faith in the future of our country and thek world in general as the result of the efforts of these brave men and women. One of the first WAVES from our community is Miss Marguerite Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George John­ son, who is not stationed at the U.S. Naval air base at Anacosta, Washington D.C. as a petty officer, third class. Her two brothers, Frank and George, are both commissioned flyers in the army air corps.

Monthly prairie walks to begin again The Friends of Veteran Acres Prairie is sponsoring monthly walks through Veteran Acres Prairie on the last Sunday of each month, May through September. The walks are conducted by Bill Wingate, naturalist. They will start at 2 p.m. and leave from the Crystal Lake Nature Highway fatalities Center at 220 N. Main St., Crystal Lake. The first walk, Sunday, May 27, will also include a brief walk up into the woods to enjoy spring woodland flowers that are still in bloom. In view of the late spring this year, there will probably be as many woodland plants as prairie plants in bloom, ac­ cording to a spokesman for the group. Included in the blossoms may be members of the buttercup family, the bird foot violet, shooting stars, wild geranium and golden alexanders. McHenry was without electric power for short periods of time after 7:30 Tuesday morning, resulting from an underground transmission cable failure. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 24, »74) After many months of con­ centrated effort to sercure a potential buyer for East Campus high school, the board of education last Tuesday night decided to take the building off the market. It was a unanimous decision that sale of the school at this time is financially im­ practical. Nancy Randall, a freshman at East Campus, appeared before the city council Monday night to seek recognition and support for YOUTH, Inc. This is a non- sectarian group of teens who are seeking facilities for a youth center. - County Civil Defense Director John Shay urged those who have suffered financial loss through heavy rains in recent days to make that fact known to his office. At the present time, McHenry County is seeking a presidential declaration of the county as a disaster area. for childrens story hours The walk will last one and a half to. two hours and will be conducted regardless of the weather.
