SECTION 2 - PAGE 10 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2i, 1964 Conscious recycling efforts Ringwood residents gather for homecoming extends life of our resources "Given the fact that our earth has a limited supply of natural resources and given the fact that almost nothing is salvaged once it is in the garbage can, what can we do to extend the use of our resources for future generations?" asks a McHenry County Defender spokesman. McHenry County Defenders feel that keeping things out of the garbage can by re­ processing, re-using, and recycling them is the respon­ sible answer. For example, composting garbage, re-using glass beverage containers, and recycling other items extends the life of our natural resources and reduces the need for land­ fills. On Saturday, Sept. 1, the McHenry County Defenders will hold one of its semi-monthly recycling drives, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of McHenry Community High School West Campus, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Rd., McHenry. Co-sponsoring the drive will be Boy Scout Troop 459. Roger Kunz, Scoutmaster of the troop, says that the Scouts will use their share of the proceeds from the drive to buy tents for the troop. This is their second drive this summer. They hope to acquire 10 to 20 tents - enough for the entire troop. The boys, under the sponsorship of McHenry Knights of Columbus, will be on hand to help unload cars, sort and crush glass, load paper onto the trucks, and see to it that the drive moves smoothly for all those participating. Iterr^s which recyclers can bring to the drive include newspapers (with no magazines or junk mail included), brown paper bags and cardboard tied in manageable bundles; glass containers with all metal and plastic removed, "tin" cans rinsed and flattened, used motor oil, and aluminum scrap of all kinds. There is a buy-back program for 100 percent aluminum cans. Due to the wide fluctuation in the price being received for the cans, Defenders will pay based on the latest quotation. To receive the best price for your cans, crush them for two cents extra per pound. In addition, a bonus of another cent per pound will be paid for lots of 100 pounds or more. For further information contact a Defender represen­ tative at 385-8512. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 30, 1934) Former residents and old friends exchanged greetings at the 9th annual home coming at Ringwood on Friday, Aug. 24 which becomes a greater event in the history of Ringwood each year. Familiar faces were to be seen at Woodman Hall from various parts of the country. These former residents of Ringwood were greeted heartily by the local people and the old friends who met during the day ex­ changed reminiscenses which brought happiness to their faces and a warmth to the hearts of those who will always consider this their home, no matter how far they may roam. TWICE TOLD TALES Edited from our files of years gone by Encephalitis outbreak still possible late this summer A surveillance program recently conducted by the Illinois Department of Public Health indicated that there still is a chance for an outbreak of encephalitis this summer. The Arbovirus surveillance field study detects antibodies in birds as a measure of viral a*. ti^it> in areas where previous history inc! ;rntes the disease has occurred. St. Louis B^ncephalitis (SLE) is transmitted by the Northern House Mosquito, (Culex pipiens) from birds to man. Other sp:. ies of Culex mosquitoes transmit the virus from bird to bird. Near the end of the summer, if the size of the virus reservoir in birds is high and if the Culex mosquito population is high, mosquitoes which have fed on infected birds may bite humans and transmit the disease. The Northern House Mosquito may be prevalent during periods of very little rainfall and develop in artificial, containers of various kinds. Cooperation of individual home owners is essential to help prevent encephalitis. In­ dividuals should check their own property for mosquito breeding sites. The public is urged to call 1-800-942-1553 and report areas that can hold water for more than three to five days, and to dump or change water standing in bird baths, animal drinking containers, ornamental ponds, rain gutters, barrels, buckets, etc. The Guy BusFf Gassers proved to be too much for the McHenry Brewers and won a free hitting contest last Sunday, 17-7. In other McHenry baseball, Schaefer's Specials of the Business Men's Soft Ball League added another to their string of victories by taking the Cadillacs 8 to 5 Tuesday evening. The Standards, by defeating the Cadillacs 20 to 18 last Thursday night, are now quite firmly entrenched in first place in the Married Men's Soft Ball league and it looks like the "flag" for them. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 31, 1944) McHenry Country Club members planned "Hookey Day" on the golf course Sept. 14 with Earl Seepe in charge of publicity; Harry Eckland, chairman of the prize com­ mittee ; George Kleinhaus heading the'ticket committee; and Jimmy Smith in charge of golf. Refreshments will be arranged for by Chas. F. Lasch. As school is soon to start, all McHenry schools have now secured their quota of teachers. Only one new face to McHenry folks will be teaching: Miss Katherine Reuland of Chicago, who will teach mathematics apd social science. Mrs. Jennie Mae Richardsen, who has been an able teacher in the public grade school for 9 years will take over in the high school as a com­ mercial teacher. Mrs. John Bolger who did substitute work for several months last year and taught high school several years ago will resume her English instruction this year. Miss Adele Froehlich will take over the vocal department. The Electric Auto-Lite Co. of Woodstock advertised for 200 women to operate small machines. "Your help is urgently needed NOW to furnish our fighting forces with the necessary equipment to finish the fight. This is your op­ portunity to be in the battle on V- DAY." "See Here Private Hargrove" with Robert Walker and Donna Reed, "College Swing" with George Burns and Gracie Allen, and "Cry Havoc" with Margaret Sullivan and Ann Sothern were features at the Colony theatre this week. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 27, 1959) This past week, several local citizens were named to head the movement to establish a foundation for financing a swimming pool in the city. The committee includes Bill Pries, Bill Bolger, Joe Gausden, Ralph Bennett and Harry Dean. One of the first undertakings in behalf of the project is the appearance of Adams Brothers and Seil Brothers circus. The circus will bring their all new gigantic tent to McHenry on Sept. 1 at the V.F.W. grounds. Postal employees and other residents of the city are proud of the new, 49-star flag which has been flying over the new post office on Green street since Wednesday. The flag is a gift of Rep. Elmer J. Hoffman of the 14th district of Illinois. Miss Rovena Marshall, chief operator, and Miss Lillian Stilling, group chief operator, telephone company employees, were honored with a party at McHenry Country Club this week. Miss Marshall was presented with a 35-year service pin. Miss Stilling started her career with the telephone company in October, 1924. Both Miss Marshall and Miss Stilling have been a part of many of the outstanding events that have made McHenry the city so many are proud of today including those in which the telephone company has played an im­ portant part. Both are con­ tinuing their careers in other cities. The A & P Store featured super-right quality chuck roast for 37 cents per pound. A 10 lb. bag of new crop Wisconsin Grown red or white potatoes sold for 39 cents. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 28, 1974) McHenry County College officials studied defeat of the referendum to increase taxes for educational purposes for the college. A public hearing on the budget was postponed until Sept. 12 in order for the staff to come up with some revisions. At the City Council meeting a recommendation to establish minimum residential space requirements was referred to the building committee. Suggested requirements were single family dwelling, 950 square feet; multi-family dwelling, one bedroom, 650 square feet; multi-family dwelling, two bedrooms, 775 square feet; two bedroom condominiums, 900 square feet; and efficiency apartments 550 square feet. Bull Valley road, now being extended from Route 31 to The Crystal Lake-McHenry blacktop, will mark the northern limits of the 100-acre Northern Illinois Medical Center, ac­ cording to newly-released ar­ chitects' plans. In the fourth round of the 72- hole match for the club cham­ pionship at McHenry Country Club SUnday, Ed Buss fought off strong competition to win the crown for 1974. Second place went to Art Jackson who shot a 302 to Buss's 298 and third place to Gary Adams with a 72 hole score of 303. Dr. Jay Sayler captured the handicup club championship.
