/ •-•i: l»a«Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH irom Page 1 :I»1 School mod In County [nued~F*ror • * ' Ofcteimlne Just who will be eligible for the initial group. Examinations will be given Aug. 2, 3 •nd '4 to children whom the survey indicated may come within the range of those needing the special help provided for edupable mentally handicapped children. K •^The maximum that may be accommodated in a room of this type is fifteen children. The Purvey is conducted among all children in the 6 to 14-year-old group arid if more than fifteen are found eligible, the selection may be made from among the younger ones. They will be taught in a room in the Clay street school in Woodstock by Mrs. Paul Tigard, Who is well prepared for this type of work. In financing such a school, the state pays transportation from aiiy platie in the county to the extent of $250 a year per child. The -state also pays $250 a year per child toward"* the other exjfrenses. For fifteen children, this would amount to $3,700, not adequate for the teacher's salary, supplies and other needs. The budget is balanced by "tiie fact that the school the child \vould otherwise attend will pay an amount equal to the average cost of schooling there. It is believed that parents of these children will welcome the facilities which the county is making available. Musin' and Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) which the fund drive quota is based, was considered a'nd -approved. Thoughts of the Red Cross and its wo: k brings to mind the story of a McHenry youngster^ Kathleen Phelan, 9, who narrowly escaped drowning recently on the local beach..

COOKS CORNER AIR CONDITIONING HAP IDLY BECOMES FAMILY NECESSITY Air conditioning, for one room qr the entire house, is rapidly becoming as necessary to many American families as heat in the winter or a refrigerator in the kitchen. By 1955 more than tfcree million families will own room air conditioners. And market experts predict this number Will jump to almost nineteen million by 1964. Such quick increases in public demand show dramatically that important changes in our everyday living habits are taking place. Synthetic fabrics and lighter cc/lors for home furnishings considered "impractical" several years ago are now commonly used. Blueprints for new hotls^s stress informal at-home living^ and uncluttered furniture arrangements. Even the kitchen, ^B03t-used room in many homes, Is changing shape and color. Although much strength for this trend comes from improved air conditioner design and lower mass-production costs, the real reason - i» probably that - more families are discovering room air Conditioners do more than just rl hot air. A few years ago an conditioner was just a "coolgr", only for wealthy families during hot summer months. But recent improvements have Changed the air conditioner into 4 year-round home appliance, Useful in all seasons for family &altk -and comfort. Cost is so jgediiced now that any family %ith a.-, television set or refrijyeritior can afford an air condition- •sv Tomato, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich With all the hot weather still to come, some days it just seems too much to prepare a full dinner and most people aren't hungry enough in 90 degree weather to warrant spending hours in the kitchen. But the conscientious woman still feels that the family deserves something warm. Here is a hearty sandwich that will make a substantial and warm meal-in-one for these hot days. 8 slices bacon 4 slices toast (light) 4 slices tomatoes 4 slices American cheese Mayonnaise Pickles and/or pickled beets Paprika Fry bacorP slowly until desired crispness. Toast bread very, very lightly. Place 2 strips of bacon on each slice of toast. Add one slice cheese and slice of tomato on top of that to each slice of toast. Sprinkle lightly with paprika. Place under broiler for few minutes -- just long enough to melt cheese slightly. Remove to warm platter and serve immediately, garnished with pickles or beets or almost any tart vegetable or fruit,. ^Spiced peaches or pipkled crab apples are good, too. Serves four.

Military Training Every young man between the ages of 18 and 26 years, who "has no prior active military service, faces an eight-year military service obligation, according to the Universal Military Training and Service Act of 1951. Under the provisions of the act, the eight . years may be divided between time spent on active duty and time spent as a member of a reserve component. Colonel Reed G; Land is, commander of the 437th Air Force reserve troop carrier wing, announced a new training program within his unit that offers qualified young men now facing .the eight-year obligation an unusual opportunity to fulfill part of the obligation without disrupting their education or home life. According to Colonel Landis, a young man in the 17 to 26 age group who is not clasified 1-A in the draft, may enlist in the 437th Troop Carrier Wing and receive the following benefits: 1. Be promoted to the grade of Airman third class upon successful completion of the" basic training course. 2. Be offered the alternative of immediate enlistment* in the Air Force for four years upon receiving a draft call. "Immediate Enlistment" means, that waiting lists for Air Force enlistment wiil be waived for Wing trainees. 3. Trainees who elect the option of enlisting in the Air Force, rather than accepting a draft call who are promoted ^ Airman third class (E-2) in the reserve, will retain this rank in the Air Force on active duty. 4. All time spent as a member of the 437th Troop Carrier Wing applies to the eight-year military obligation, reducing the number of years that must be spent in a Reserve component following release from active duty. --^The -new- program »also" offers* Day for time spent in training. During the first four months, the trainee receives $10.40 a weekend. After the four months, he receives $11.09 a weekend. Uniforms are furnished the trainees, as are meals on training weekends. Colonel Landis slated that the Wing offers training in aircraft maintenance, communic a t i o n s, photography, personnel and administration, supply and many other Air Force career specialties to men who successfully complete basic training. Anyone wishing further information about the program should call ROdney 3-0800, Extension 384, or write or visit the 437th Troop Carrier Wing recruiting office, O'Hare International Airport, Park Ridge, HI.
