The funds received from the Community Chest Fund were not adequate enough to maintain the children from McHenry County as last year they" received an average of $6.50 per child, while the weekly, eoat approximated $11 per child. The home hail an operating budget of $31,000 last year, receiving $14,000 from parents and the county court, and $17,000 in charitable contributions. Of the $17,000, approximately $10,000 was received from the Free Methodist church, $1,600 from the Woodstock Community Chest, $500 frun miscellaneous contributions from MeHenry county and $1,300 from Chicago Have-a-Heart Tag Day and $3,500 from miscellaneous sources. • Rev. Eugene Maxwell points out that the policy of the home has changed over the years, that as time goes on, fewer children from Chicago and Cook county are taken in and therefore contributions from Chicago funds are less. Children from Mc- ( Henry county and the sponsoring • church are given preference and therefore it it /elt the people of the county should assume more of £he responsibility.
