It was "qn the trail" for several of McHenry's Scouts last weekend when Billy Houck, Paul Jessup, Terry Reid and Cliff Todd, accompanied by Laurence Anderson and William Jessup, traveled to Camp Lowden, Oregon, 111. Saturday, the Scouts ' and leaders took the Blackhawk Trail hike, which took them on- the winding way of Chief Blackhawk, famous Sauk Indian, and his warriors. The trail starts at Camp Lowden and follows the Rock river for nine miles to the statue of Chief Blackhawk at Lowden Memorial Park. The entire hike covered a distance of twenty miles. The river, the bluffs, the trees and the sky make a picture difficult to describe. To get this picture first hand, one must take the Blackhawk Trail. While on the trail local Scouts met many others from the mid-west. Last year, 1,355 Scouts from Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and other states remarked that the Blackhawk Hike "is the most interesting and most beautiful hike." In order to qualify for the Blackhawk Trail hike medal. Scouts must be at least second class rank and make a report on the book, "The Life of Blackhawk," identify various plants and wild life and make a report on the hike. All of the above group earned the medal. After the hike and on Sunday. Mr. Jessup attended a meeting being held for neighborhood commissioners. Each city that has three or more Scout Troops or Cub dens are asked to have a neighborhood commissioner. McHenry now has one Explorer post (boys 14 and over sponsored by the American Legion); two Boy Scout Troops (boys 11 to 14. one sponsored by the American Legion and the other by the Community P. T. A.) There is ' one Cub pack (Boys 8 to 11.) sponsored by the Community P. T. A. now in operation and the V. F. W., is now forming another pack.

( Further evidence of the giofjjfav ing popularity of McHenry as a community in which to live and do business was brought out at Monday evening's meeting of the newly formed Chamber of Commerce, when it was discloeed that several large industries h ad shown a very real interest in locating here. One or two of those that have expressed a desire to establish plants here are large factories in the Chicago area. It is only natural that McHenry should feel It their duty to supply interested firms with information which may influence the final decision as to location in this city. In cooperation with this KKNN& the industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce is endeavoring to find out just how many residents of this area who are now employed elsewhere would be interested in employment in a local industry should any of the contemplated business set-ups become a reality. The erection of suitable buildings and the selection of proper sites are relatively easy If interested conceras are convinced that the employee need can be filled. . iMk Employee List For this reason, any local Persons who are now commuting la other communities and who would be interested in being employed locally should the opportunity present itself are asked to nottfjr the secretary of the Chamber, Jack Bucki$.
