The report shows an increase over any past year. I appointed Mrs. Emma Buell of Woodstock as chairman of the county committee with authority to select her workers in every township of the county. Mrs. Buell entered into the activity of the sale with a seal which inspired whole-heartedness in all lovers of good health. Her coworkers enabled , her « to dispose of bonds and seals in every n<*>k;and corner of our great ^ county. The teachers of our schools were her assistants and did heroic work. We have nothing but words of praise and gratitude for teachers and thefr PUP ils, also everyone who served as a helper to put over the drive.

It will be remem bered that this beach was given some attention last year when the Broadway Improvement association of this city, thru the co-operation of our city board and other interested citizens, had the beach all cleaned* up and" graveled. The suggestion as made on Tuesday evening embodied the installation of dressing rooms) a pier and possibly .a water shoot for the little folks. This matter was also left to the president and the members of Che public affairs committee and it is quite likely that something will be done to Bring about fche desired improvements. In connection with the beach the president told of having talked to a number of the woihen of the city, who weje interested in the beach and who volunteered their services in conducting a public card party as a means of raising money with which to carry out the suggested improvements. The cost of the proposed acquisitions to the beach were estimated at approximately $60. The. matter of securing the dedication or right-of-way thru the city of McHenry for route 20 also came up for a lengthy discussion and, according'to those'who spoke on the matter, it is very likely that the blue print® for said route as it will pass thru the <Jty of McHenry will probably be in the hands of local officials within the next week or so and ps it is the desire of the state* highway department to get this work completed in the shortest possible length of time the suggestion was made that the Community club lend its moral support towards the cause.

Green of Woodstock as president of that body to succeed Frank T. Holt of Kenosha, Wis., who has held the honorable office during the past eight years. The election proved one of the liveliest ever witnessed by the producers and not until the last few votes had been counted did it become known vho of the two candidates was the winner. Altho the meeting was attended by nearly two thousand people, only the producers who were found to be in good standing during the year 1923 were allowed to vote. The total vote thus registered was between 700 and 800. The Woodstock mayor won out by only eight votes. E. C. Rockwell was re-elected secretary. The election of officers did not start until after three o'clock and for a time it looked as delegation would be obliged to leave for their train before the voting would start. However, the machinery was speeded up and' all remained at the meeting long enough to cast their ballots. The nomination speech for the McHenry county man was made by Former Judge D. T.
