Community McHenry sees end to Great Depression McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Wednesday, August 20, IMS Pay 3 BACK-TO-SCHOOL SPECIAL FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 29, 1935) • Can It be that the depression is really abating slightly or is it that nle in general are becoming of economizing and depriving themselves of pleasure and luxuries and, becoming desperate, are decid­ ing to have just one more fling before the cold hand of winter falls b clasp us in its grip? Whatever the reason, it is clear there are more vacationers in this district crowding tesorts and cottages, buying at local stores and patronizing restaurants, the movie theater and ice cream parlors than have been seen for several years. Cottages along the river and lakes are nearly all 9ccupied. It was 63 years ago on Aug. 10, 1872 in the days when candidates for office made their stump speeches without any radio to broadcast them, and with only a handful of voters to listen to them, that Mc­ Henry became a village. Today more than 2,000 voters reside in the township. In the first village elec­ tion Richard Bishop was elected p r e s i d e n t ; J . B . P e r r y , J.M.McComber, H.C. Smith, John King and F.K.Cfranger were trust­ ees; Michael Keller, clerk and Hen­ ry Colby, treasurer. With rural schools opening for the fall term Sept. 3, among the teach­ ers will be Florence Zimmer, Ma- thias P. Freund, Evelyn Bohl, Doro- Twice Told Tales thy Fisher, Arline Pearson, Wayne Foss, Bernice Smith and Alta Sa- muelson. Also Eva Hawthorne, Ei­ leen Fitzgerald, Helen Harrer, Julia Feffer, Alice Clark, Olive Dygert and Mary Charles. Victoria Jacob- son, Mary Althoff, Margaret Lar- kin, Caroline and Helen Bauer will also teach. Right food and activity is the proper way to take off pounds Despite what many expensive fad diet plans are promoting, losing height and keeping it off is hard work, not magic. It requires the discipline of consistently choosing lower calorie food items and main­ taining a regular activity program. .Memorial Hospital staff under­ stand this challenge and are ready t6 help everyone meet it through a 10-week weight loss class entitled "•Take Control." The class will meet Thursdays, starting Sept. 12, from Obituary Eric Matthew Voight Eric Matthew Voight, one day old, 5810 Woodland Dr., McHenry, died Friday, Aug. 23, 1985 in Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago.

Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at St. John's Ceme­ tery, Johnsburg, with Father John Holdren of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Johnsburg officiat­ ing. Arrangements were handled by the George R. Justen & Son Funeral Home. "7 " FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 30, 1945) The County American Legion has reached the highest membership in the history of the organization. A total of 1,074 are now enrolled and leaders in local posts are busy in securing new members for next year. In 1945, McHenry had 123 members registered. With the planned discharge of 2,839,000 from the navy, as announced by Navy Secretary Forrestal, and similar stepped up discharges from the army, the Legion can expect contin­ ued growth during the next year. A sure sign that the summer sea­ son is fast on the wane are the final social events in the active "sub­ urbs" of Johnsburg and Lilymoor, Johnsburg Community Club will sponsor a two-day carnival and the Lilymoor Property Owners Associa­ tion will hold a barn dance. After being on opposite ends of the earth through most of their ser­ vice periods, the three older sons of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smith are at present all serving in India. Pcf. Lester, youngest of the three was first to arrive in time for Thanks­ giving dinner in Nov. 1943. Sgt. Earl arrived in India last December spending his first Christmas away from the U.S. The oldest of the boys, Staff Sgt. Arthur, left for India this past June. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 1, 1960) McHenry schools will have an en­ rollment of more than 4,000 students for the first time in history if esti­ mated figures are found to be close to the actual number reporting when the fall term begins next week. Although the new International Register Company plant at Spring Grove has been open only three weeks, it is already employing near­ ly 100 people and within the next six months that figure is expected to rise to more than 300. The reinforced concrete basement floor and walls have been poured for McHenry hospital's 18-bed build­ ing which will be almost 13,000 square feet. A MCHS graduate of almost 40 years ago is remembering his alma mater most generously with the gift of a $4,000 scholarship to Notre Dame University, where he also graduated. The donor is Howard Phalin of Winnetka, now an execu­ tive vice-president and director of sales for Field Enterprises. He is making a similar offer to an out­ standing graduate of Marian Cen­ tral Catholic high school in Wood­ stock. They will be awarded for the first time to 1961 gtigh school graduates. w TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 29, 1975) The arrest of several McHenry area youths Tuesday by county de­ tectives cleared from 30 to 35 bur­ glaries and thefts which have oc­ curred in McHenry county recently. Sheriff's deputies handled 22 acci­ dents over the past weekend. Four­ teen were in the McHenry-Wonder Lake area, with five involving inju­ ries and tickets. SOUTHGATE FAMILY HAIR CENTER 810 DN.
