One item is the Elizabeth Pick hat shop for ladies. Grace . probably remembers the shop at the southwest corner of Riverside Drive and Pearl Street where they now sell long hot dogs. Long, long ago when Elizabeth's maiden name was Thelen, she and her sister Emma had a millinery on Main Street in the building now oc­ cupied by the Plum Garden restaurant. Those were the days when ladies wore fancy hats and wouldn't think of going to church without covering their heads. Those big hats covered with fruit got me. Another old time item men­ tioned by Grace was the taxi service run by Ben and Sue Adams. Ben drove a bus while his wife, Sue, Drove a taxi. Overton's Garage also had cars used for taxi service and there was a lot of warfare about choice stalls for parking the vehicles at the depot. OLD SAYINGS: Just be glad it's Dolly's head and not your head that broke. The one who takes the last biscuit on the plate has to kiss the cook. (That isn't always so bad!) We love to hear young people say they read this column. Debbie Freund, of the Little Chef restaurant, is one of those girls who bring me joy. One member of our household isn't too happy to read that Dick Rabbitt is through writing until high school athletics return in the fall. (I'll try to console her.) No foolin', Dick covers a lot of ground in that column. Judge Herrmann couldn't resist bringing us a couple of "CUB" cookies from McHenry Bakery. I asked him about White Sox cookies and his reply was, "They were buried way down under". Reading about those hijackers, who are holding hostages until demands are met, taste whe makes me wonder how they can take machine guoHfpto a plane without being dei One time I went line before boards all of a sudden the loud. the e and rang Most baseball fans get a sour heh they think about the threatened players' strike iori't i -M speak highly of illion dollar ball WWII friends remembered FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 20, 1935) Hie people of St. John the Baptist parish, Johnsburg, joined with the Rt. Rev. Edward Francis Hoban, D.D., bishop of Rockford diocese, visiting priests and Sisters of St. Francis in celebrating the silver jubilee of the priesthood of Rev. A.J. Vollman, pastor of St. John the Baptist church June 12, 1935. Preceding the mass was the procession of the children from the school to the rectory, where Bishop Hoban, Father Vollman and tne priests were escorted to the beautiful church edifice. A long bandit held up the Standard Oil Service Station at Riverside Drive and Elm street about 8:15 p.m., Monday, forced the attendant, Arthur Krause, into a wash room and then made away with $211 in cash. The bandit escaped and is believed to have been aided by an ac­ complice waiting nearby in an automobile. More than 200 Boy Scouts will take part in a Camp-o-ree June 25 and 26 at the Boone County Fairgrounds. Scouts from McHenry and Boone counties will set up their own shelter and cook their own food over open tires. Patrol leaders will be in direct charge of the proceedings from peeling the potatoes to serving the food and washing dishes. Games, scout-craft contests and entertainment provided by the scouts in the form of songs, stunts and skits around a campfire will be part of the program. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 21, 1945) Mrs. Robert Conway, who lives in Rockford, was notified last Sunday that her husband was in a critical condition as the result of being struck with a hand grenade while serving in the army at Camp Wolters, Texas. Staff Sergeant Conway was acting as an instructor in the infantry at the time of the accident. The Community Methodist Church will have a new minister as the result of the church's annual conference when one will be named. Rev. Mack Powell, who had been in McHenry for two years, left June 1 for Detroit, Mich, where he is assistant pastor in the Methodist church. The Collector of Internal Revenue warned automobile owners that they have only until June 1 to purchase the $5 stamp for their cars. In one of those fast-moving games where everybody gets through in time to get home for chores, the Johnsburg ball team shut out the Shamrocks 5 to 0 last Sunday on the McHenry diamond.' Manager Bolger shuffled his batting order, but six hits were too far scattered to produce a run. The McHenry Township Association, Inc. advertised tne "New Train and Bus Schedule" for McHenry and Community. The Chicago and Northwestern and Greyhound Bus Line offered train and bus service, respec- wice Tales lively to and from Chicago on time each day. The Peoria- Rockford Bus Company offered bus service to and from Waukegan once each day with a service to Woodstock as well.' TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 16, 1960) A series of burglaries in the city of McHenry late Saturday night or early Sunday morning resulted in losses ranging from small radios to items valued at more than a thousand dollars. Police have been investigating since that time, but to date have no clues on the indentity of those resonsible. Dick Rauscher, David Ken- nebeck and Dennis Martell were winners in the McHenry Camera Club June contest. Fifty-two members submitted entries. Stanley Vycital has been named by the city of McHenry as new director of the Municipal band replacing Paul R. Yanda who resigned at the close of last season. The Riverside Athletic Club presented two dozen baseballs to each manager at the opening of the McHenry Little League season on the local diamond last Wednesday. Tom Creighton, Ed. Samen, Tony Espey and Gary Francke will attend the twenty fifth session of Premier Boys State from June 19 through 25 on the state fairgrounds, Springfield. Cathy Curran has been selected to attend Girls State which will be held in Jacksonville, 111. A request of Charles J. Miller and Dorothy S. Miller for re­ classification of their property for "F" to "M' was granted by the county board upon the recommendation of zoning board of appeals. It will allow the Millers to rehabilitate their gravel pit and establish a light industrial district on Rt. 120 west of the city. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 18, 1975) Miss McHenry of 1975 is Marissa Pace who will reign as Marine Festival queen during the week of July 6-13. The petite Miss Pace, 17, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Pace of McHenry. First runner-up went to Cindi Lescher, 17 and second runner-up was Rebecca Heneise, 17. t The Congeniality award went to pretty, blonde, seventeen- year- old Gay Ann Roberts. In a similar contest at Wonder Lake, Maureen Folliard was named Miss Wonder Lake. Debbie Miller was named runner-up and Miss Congeniality. Maureen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Folliard of Wonder Lake. Work to construct 9.85 miles of the major freeway project known as FAP 420, will be possible because of money allocated in a record $791 million 1976 road improvement and construction program, ac­ cording to an announcement Monday by the Illinois Tran­ sportation secretary. As the Plaindealer went to press, word was received that, weather permitting, the traffic signals at the east end of the bndge would be put in operation at 10:30 Wednesday morning. So I Hear by Earl Walsh A metal band around my cane Set off the alarm, but they made me empty all by pockets while a big "Mick" of a policeman smiled through it all. Now, if that little piece of metal on my cane could set off an alarm, how in heck can they get through with a couple of machine guns? They do "those players The last time a strike was called many fans said they would boycott the games. They were just plain mad, but went back to the ball parks in greater numbers than ever. People in charge will say, "It is easy for you to talk", but I'm against any season of sports, any school year or any factory opening before a contract is simed In fact, it may be that a Ion term contract should be signe before a marriage takes place. Let's quit all this foolin' around. We quit feeding the birds since weather permits them to dig for food. So--they left us. Just watch and see how chummy they will get when winter comes again. With plans for a picnic on our lawn, we have also discontinued feeding the ducks. Watching a line of cars drive down a highway--no two cars are alike. We see different makes, different sizes and different colors. Haven't seen a model T lately. With all the trouble in foreign countries and all the hatred against the United States, one has to wonder if the Monroe Doctrine didn't have some basis for thought. Our door swung in for more than the usual number of callers last week and we loved it. Come again! Fathers Day came and went. The day was pleasant. King For a Day! Dancing for health Age is all a state of mind. No one is ever too old to dance! Come dance to the beat as you work out those kinks while you stimulate your joints and muscles. This class combines dance With exercise to melt away all the years. Physical limitations are not a problem. Even people in wheelchairs are encouraged to join in.
