THURSDAY. OCTOBER 8. 1953 I'I jij ..ny 10c Pn Copy Mutin' and '•• * Meanderin' Sxaot figures are now ..available tor the attendance In the grade school* underlying the McHenry Community high school and the Outlook is not pleasant when one views the accommodations In the way of buildings. Assuming that those now enrolled in these grade schools (and no others) attend the local high school, enrollments in the high school will increase an average of 60 per year for the next eight years. Attendance In 1901 would be 993. fjtowevar, most everyone fads thit the influx which has occurred recently will continue. If the same ratio of influx continues one may figure the enrollment in 1961 as between 1,500 and 2,000.. . Although these figures seem astronomical, they lie well within thf realm of possibility. $11 Mercure, Jim Roggenbuck and Ed. Lacy have been accepted into Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at Bradley University, where the three are freshmen. - » 4 Announcement that a steel engraving of the White House has been sent to the auxiliary of Memorial Hos pital for McHenry County from Mamie Doud Eisenhower |Phe engraving now occupies a prominent, place on one of the walls at the new Gift and Thrift shop in Woodstock opened by the •Miliary. „ From Hartford, Conn., eomes word that o'lt of tli<= 235-man incoming freshman class at Trinity college, Steve Letcher of McHenry has been appointed one of twenty-five to serve on the freshman executive committee and Ifry intaKndpcnUacy^ apimcti for the year.

EHTERTAMMMT PUNNED FOB HALLOWE'EN , Chancer Commttoi To Show Movies For Younger Children Hallowe'en should "be an extra special day for all young people in the McHenry community this year as the result of plans noiw being made to entertain them on Saturday, Oct. 31. Since the day of witches and black cats falls on a school holiday, those interested in planning a program found it easier to provide a more varied program to suit the different age groups. The Chamber of Commerce, working with Supt. C. H. Duker, has arranged for the showing of movies in the high school auditorium on the morning of Oct 31 between 10 and 11:30 o'clock. This portion of the program will be for boys and girls in sixth grade or younger. Candy will bt distributed to thosi who attend as they leave at ti.e conclusion of the films. Members of P.T.A. groups will be asked by the Chamber to assist in the chaperoning of this group. The very time of the movies should prove a happy one for mothers, who may complete their shopping while the smaller children are being entertained. It also will serve to eliminate any elaborate plans of the young folks for the celebration on the evening of Hallowe'en as they will already have had their share of entertainment provided. Square Dance It was very fortunate that a square dance sponsored by the Community P.T.A., St. Mary's P.T.A. and St. Patrick's Mother's club falls on Saturday, the thir- 'ty-first. Here, seventh and eighth graders will gather for a special costume square dance party, with Ernest Useman offering his time to preside «s caller for the evening. „ Costume prizes will be furnished by the Chamber of Commerce. In the evening, a costume skating party is being arranged by the management of the local roller rink. Although the party itself i8 not in t{ie manner of free entertainment, it will provide a special type of party for the 'teen-agers between 8:30 and 11 o'clock. Costume prizes for this party, too, will be provided by the Chamber of Commerce. Floyd Covalt, president of the organization, announces that business men will be approached by representatives in the near future for the purpose of assuring prizes.

McHEHRY SAFETY CONSCIOUS FARM FOLKS MET OCT. 7 Farmers, Dealers Discussed Care Of Corn Pickers BOYS TOWN CHOIR REPERTOIRE AMAZES MOST ALL MUSICIANS The infinitely varied repertoire of the Boys Town choir, which will appear here under the sponsorship of the Catholic Order of Foresters, is a: source of amazement to music critics the country over. " This- 50-voice aggregation is made up of citisens of the famed Home for Boys founded by Father Flanagan thirty-six years ago. These are boys neglected, homeless, underprivileged--not recruited for their flutelike voices or for their musical t&lent or interest. Had they never come to Boys Town, it is safe to assume that juke-box music would be the limit of their musical experience. The choirboys do like popular music, but they have also acquired a taste for the finest ancient and modern music, sacred and secular. The same program may find them singing with equal enjoyment a 16th century Monteverdi Mass in its American premiere, and a rollicking version of "The Arkansaw Traveler". Father Schmitt, the abla young priest who has Conducted the Boys Town choir for twelve years, says, "We have boys who have gone^n to major in music at universities; others who are singing in choirs around the country or in the armed forces, singing or conducting. What pleases us most is that we hear from so many lads all over the world who miss the days of arduous rehearsal, who listen to good music when they can, who are homesick for Boys Town at Christmas and Easter time, and who dial their radios hoping to catch the present choir." The Boys Town choir will sing hera on Tuesday, Oct. 20, in the 'Mglr-schoot-fcymr «• fARREST HARVARD WOMAN FOR FBI IMPERSONATION NEW POLIO CASE McHenry county's sixteenth case of polio this year was reported during the past week.

The Russell Holl«ojdfhiwwoosstt family has moved from Wonder Lake to their new home on Rt. 120 west of .MfiBenry. SPECIAL EVENTS FILL CALENDAR IN CITY FOR AUTUMN Looking at the calendar of coming events in McHenry, it appears that local residents will not be wanting for entertainment in the autumn weeks ahead. Two special events during the next week include the "white elephant" sale at St. Patrick's church hall Oct. 9 and 10 and s public party on Oct. 15 sponsored by the C.D. of A. Other public parties, both to feature cards, will be the one on Oct. 17 sponsored by the O.E.S. at Acacia hall and the second Oct. 22, planned by the Altar and Rosary sodality of St. Patrick's church. Entertainment which is of interest to the general public includes the Boys Town choir concert on Oct. 20, a P.T.A. sponsored carnival at Edgebrook on Oct 24, the C.O.F. benefit party Oct. 25, the W.S.C S. bazaar Oct. 27 and the football banquet sponsored by the Kiwanis club on Nov, 12. The McHenry F.F.A. chapter's efforts to bring to the attention of every farmer the need for carefulness around machinery, especially during the corn picking season, was brought to a peak Wednesday night, Oct. 7. by a community-wide meeting of farmers at the high school auditorium. Each F.F.A, member wrote an invitation to the farmers in his neighborhood so that everyone could have a chance to become safety conscious. Local machinery dealers were also invited to attend. • The program included a report by F.F.A. president. Dick Nowak, on the efforts of F.F.A. members all over the state to prevent injury and possible death from corn picker accidents. A slide film showed the more than 400 per cent increase in the number of pickers being used and the many ways in which carelessness can lead to serious injury. Examples of similar types of accidents which have occurred in this community were brought to the attention of the group. The slogan, "Why risk so much for so little" was clearly demonstrated. For trying to save a few minutes, a corn picker operator can pay with his life. A discussion was started between the farmers and the machinery dealers on how best to prepare a picker for use and keep it in good working order to avoid mechanical trouble. The amount of Interest shown clearly indicated that safety is impor-. tant. F.F.A. members distributed mimeographed lists of safety precautions to be observed around com pickers and also bright colored stickers. The stickers are to be placed on the corn pickers to remind the operators to be "1953 -- Safe Operator." For the final part of the program, a fine color movie on tractor safety was shown to impress everyone with the great need of caution in operating farm machinery. . The McHenry F.F.A. charter is grateful to the many people in this community who helped make the program, aa attempt to save farm lives. A report from Albuquerque, New Mexico, this week tells of a Harvard woman who was held in jail there on charges of impersonating a federal officer and entering government property illegally.
