HOUPQMl Nostalgia By Gwendolyn Danner Mr. Bell continues his speech at the Route 173 opening celebration in Harvard by saying that in his 35 years of being a Harvard resident, he thinks this is the first time we have had a governor as a guest, unless he was here campaigning; we did have a bishop now and again, but governors, no, never. He said he had made no inquiries, but he suspected that M.F.

Walsh had something to do with it. He goes on to say: "Here again is a man who is too big to be confined by city limits. For many years he, too, served as our local postmaster and for many more years he has been our peerless editor and publisher. The Harvard Herald is known throughout the and way beyond the confines of the state, as an outstanding weekly newspaper and has received medals and blue ribbons and what not in newspaper competition as an outstanding weekly publication of this character. "But Citizen Walsh is not satisfied with simply editing and publishing a newspaper.

In addition, he is a part of the governor's cabinet at Springfield in the capacity of the director of the department of registration and education. "He is not just a city man; he is a statesman, and, if you ask me, I will say he is one of the best-informed men, especially from the political point of view, of any man whom it has been my privilege to meet and to know. And if my surmises are right, on your behalf, I want to express our thanks to Mr. Walsh for his part in making the program possible. "Now with so many of our state representatives on hand, I feel like exclaiming with the old patriarch: 'Surely it is good for us to be here.

Let us build -three tabernacles and keep the administration in "I am sure the governor would find the local environment entirely satisfactory. On the immediate north we have the kingdom of La Follette. On the east we have Secretary Stratton's domain. On the south we are bounded by Bill Thompson, and on the west we have the home of Lt. Gov.

Sterling. Just beyond that lie the estates of ex-governor Lowden and Mrs. McCormick. And right here we have Postmaster Saunders and Editor Walsh, already referred to. Certainly an ideal environment for a political dynasty.

But I must conclude. A few of our distinguished guests are on the program tonight, and you want to hear them more than me and I am going to introduce them in their order as they so appear." Perhaps a little explanation of some of the names mentioned is in order for our younger readers: The kingdom of LaFollette is Wisconsin where that gentleman was the senator, and probably as well known as any senator since his time. Bill Thompson was mayor of Chicago, with the legendary power Chicago's mayors assume they have. If we put an adjective before his name, it may sound more familiar. This was Big Bill Thompson.

Secretary Stratton, was later governor of Illinois. Gov. Lowden was, I think, the first governor of the state from northern Illinois. Mrs. McCormick at that time was a representative to Congress.

She also was a daughter of Mark Hanna, a famous senator from I Ohio. Mrs. McCormick made full use of that fact and was always known as Ruth Hanna McCormick. Two women in Harvard are named for her. The program proceeded, with the governor the last to speak, I think.

I do know the program was long enough that the dishes were pretty well finished when it was over! And we had served more than 900 guests. (Gwendolyn Danner is a local historian. She is a member of the Greater Harvard Area Historical Society and the McHenry County Historical Society.)
