High Winds Hit Huntley
At 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 30, Huntley was struck by damaging winds and hail which uprooted or broke century-old trees through¬ out the commimity.
Tile most damage reported oc¬ curred at the home of Shirley and Jim Dhamer at the east edge of town on the Dundee blacktop. Mrs. Dhamer had taken the children to catechism, leaving one child at Jiome when the wind hit. ITie youngster went into the basement Avith a flashlight and transistoi' radio. One of several trees knocked down at the Dhamer home fell onto the roof of the house. Fortunately,
no one was injured.
A willow tree at tho home of Mr. and Mrs. Soren Btmgard toppled onto their garage.
Perhaps the most ironic inci¬ dent of the storm occurred at the American Legion Home, where a large tree was uprooted, tearing up a section of the sidewalk and leaving a hole three feet deep. The huge tree fell between two cars parked side by side in tj|>e lot, neither hit¬ ting or Scratching either of them. Branches of the tree just barely missed the trunits of the two cars.
Many Sections of Huntley were Cimtinued on Page Three
Neither car was hit by this tree which fell between them.

Mr. Richard Jacobs was present at the meeting to discuss the schools insurance program. He suggested that the Board make a detailed in¬ ventory and evaluation of the furn¬ iture and contents in the new school to come up with a more accurate program.
