He needs to be interested in what is going on, know wljat is going on, and keep .the chapter's activities before the public. It soon gets to be work, writing about the other fellow. Mark has accepted that task and done it better than the average, Larry Stilling, sentinel, as a sophomore copped the last chance to be a chapter officer. As sentinel, he prepares the Agricultural room for chapter meetings and assists guests so that they feel welcome at the meetings. The way he accepts and does the job often leads to higher office in following years. Special Projects For the past few years, the F.F.A. on a national basis, has been distributing a calendar depicting scenes in vivid color of "F.F.A. in action. McHenry members have distributed these also, through local implement dealer sponsorship. Anyone acquainted with the organization should be proud to display one of the calendars in their effort to help promote F.F.A. . JTie best budget helper the local chapter has had canje in the form of an ice cream machine this year. With the fine assistance of the advisory council for the agriculture department, the idea was sold to the school board last spring. It heft resulted in considerable money being-placed in the treasury of the F.F.A. and has provided a privilege which has not been abused by the student body during school hours. gPECIAL SCHOOLS Illinois is one of only 13 states which provide specialized treatment for mentally ill and emotionally disturbed children. This status is disclosed by a survey made by a committee of the state Department of Public Welfare. In reporting its findings the committee pointed out that present Illinois facilities are by no means sufficient to care for all the children in the state who need this kind of treatment. The department's two treatment centers, one for psychotic children v(the Grace Abbott Children's center of Peoria State hospital) and one for severely emotionally disturbed children (the William Heaty School of the Institute for Juvenile Research in Chicago) have a combined capacity for 84 youngsters.
