"More than 150 rural and city grade school children gathered in the Central Grade School gymnasium to receive vaccinations from the hands of doctors as a preventative measure against small pox."
1966, 50 Years Ago.
"The new Woolco Department Store opened at the Northland Plaza Shopping Center." This was on the DeKalb-Sycamore Road, Il-23, near where the Wal Mart is today. Woolco was the big box discount store of Woolworth's 5 & 10.
