There is a new housing request on the Max website
from Chris Gagne. "I am a newly hired sheriff's deputy for McLean County
and am looking for something to rent for my spouse and I in the northern part
of the county." Chris Gagne cp.gagne1@gmail.com
Contact Tamra Huesers in Max if you do not have
access to email. If you can help this couple out, Tamra will contact them for
you. Thank you!
Upcoming event is Max Senior Citizens' potluck
and meeting at noon on Friday, the 24th.
And 'long ago' happenings were a water tower fire
in Max, written up in the Ward County Independent on January 28, 1954...and
very cold weather. A fire was kept burning in the building below the water
tower so the water wouldn't freeze but the stove pipe got too hot and started
the building's roof on fire. The fire was extinguished by the fast work of the
fire department.
And the other 'happening' was that of a long time
Max resident, now deceased, returning to his home from working in the oil
fields at Tioga, stating 'it was just too cold to be working outside.'
"There is no such thing in anyone's life as
an unimportant day." Alexander Woollcott
