Hospital Auxiliary Aid* In Building Project The Woman's Auxiliary of the Memorial Hospital for McHenry county held its semi-annual meeting last week and for the benefit of those women in the community who did not know the ^ys and wherefores of the fund lairing projects going on for the hospital thev were recounted by Mrs. Irwin Tucker of Woodstock. Since the Auxiliary has been in existence there has always been a large fall benefit. Originally it was the largest single source of income each year and went to pay for the nurae scholarship, bought equipment for the 'hospital and "redecorated and ir^Limished the nurses' home, ^wo years ago the board felt it would be good to have a spring benefit also and the annual St. Patrick's card party was started. It is hoped that some dav all the county units will have their own local parties on St. Patrick's day for <the hospital. It is hoped that this card party will serve a double purpose: First, stimulate good will in the community; secrtd. fund raising. Money, raised from, the- spring benefits went to pay for rtew draperies and slip covers for the hospital when it was redecorated. Abide from these activities, money has been raised for a separate building fund. Last year the. Auxiliary pledged to the hospital $50,000 towards a new wing for mothers and children. This amount is to be raised over a three-year period. At the time the pledge was made there was $20,000 in the building fund. Through the unit system, of which Wonder Lake should be a much more active unit, $10,000 a year for three years is to be raised. This is to be done without the revenue from the two annual benefits mentioned above. Each unit has a goal to raise $1,000 for three years, or a total of $3,000. This to be done in any manner of project the local unit sees fit or capable of handling. In order to have not only a hospital but an efficient and a Good hospital that will serve the county, £very section of the county should be willing to support any activity that is for the benefit of raising funds, for the hospital. . The Wonder Lake unit of the hospital Auxiliary will sponsor a series of card parties this fall and in a modest way begin to build toward the unit goal. In the meantime,v membership of $1 per year per woman in the community is a small insurance that you will have a hospital near at hand in times of illness or emergency. If you Will call the unit chairman, Mrs. Dorothy McEachren, Wonder Lake 4311, she will be glad to enroll you as a member of the Auxiliary. Remember, the hospital needs your help <t$w so it can help you later. Bolt For $1,000 A suit for $1,000 has been filed in circuit court at Woodstock against Richard Mahal, 16. and Tvar Fredrickpon, both of Wonder Lake. Helen Pyetzki filed the suit. The defendent claims that, on Sept. 18, 1951, .she was driving a car at the intersections of Rt. Rt, 47 and 14 and that a car driven by Mahal and owned by Fredricksen, collided with her car.

MORE APPLICANTS ' " FOR GAS GET O.K. fr' BY PUBLIC SERVICE The Public Service Company of Northern Illinois has reported to the Illinois Commerce Commission that letters would soon be mailed out to all customers who had applied for gas heat between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 1951, authorizing them to install their gas furnaces. The company estimated that the new authorizations would result in about 15,- 000 gas furnace installations. Gas heat installations are permitted only in single family dwellings under the restriction order of the commission. The additional gas heat authorisations made last December. At that time gas heat was authorized for all those who had applied up to Sept. 1, 1951. The December allocation followed ,completion of a new natural gas pipeline from the gulf coast of Texas to Joliet, from which Public Service receives a substantial amount of gas. Applicants since last Jan. 1, 6f which there are approximately 40,000, will remain on the waiting list. V In addition, the utility asked commission approval to increase the amount of gas permitted industrial users under the restriction order from 4,000 therms a month to 500 therms a day. The industries would be allowed to use the additional gas for processing manufactured products but not for space heating. Such additional industrial gas would be limited in total to an aggregate of 50,000 therms a day, which is less than five per cent of the maximum daily amount required by residential space heating authorized during the past year.
