Miss Barbara Lubke of . Mc- Henry, the 1957 award winner, expressed her appreciation of the program in the following excerpt from a letter sent to the auxiliary at the time of her capping ceremony: "If I had not been so fortunate as to receive the scholarship which you offered, this Sunday night might have been just any Sunday for me. There will be a prayer cf thanks , in my who was granted a license. heart for everyone' who helped In the varipus appointments,^ $^s by..?.l WSJ? T; i the happiest days of my. life" were retained. Dr. j George Alvary will be chairman of the local board of health. At the request of the Mc- Henry Chamber of Commerce the city will again participate in exependitures for Christmas decorations. A meeting of property owners in the area near the country club will be held Friday evening, May 16, for the purpose of determining the advisability of constructing sanitary sewer in that area. This meeting will be held in the city hall. Added to the gratitude of all others who in any way have benefitted from local hospitals, we add our sincere thanks for one of life's most important services. K.A.F. Bishop Burrill In Special Rite (Continued from page 1) HEROIC YOUNG PILOT RELATED TO McHENRY FOLKS (Continued from page 1) The young first lieutenant braved sub-zero weather to land the plane at Abilene, Texas, rather than abandon a fellow officer, even though the B47 jet bomber was afire and the top canopy had blown off. Lieut. Obenauf made a perfect landing while flying from the blind co-pilot's seat, something the strategic Air Command said had been considered impossible because he is behind a solid bulk-head and cannot see forward. Three others managed to get out of the plane after one of -its six jet engines caught afire. | Those to be confirmed are i William Adolph Stamer, Mich- I ael William Meeker, Edwin j James Meeker, Est? Cox Meek- I er, Berenice Sorenson Geis and Kenneth Sawdo. Bishop Burrill is one of the truly outstanding preachers of today, and it is expected that a great number of persons will wish to take advantage of this opportunity to both hear his message and to greet him afterward in the parish house at the reception in his honor. This is to be the bishop's first visit to the new church, which was dedicated last month on April 16.

Why does the tax bill keep rising year after year? Upon what are these valuations based? I inquired at the court house and was told 60 per cent, under the new law, of what you can sell it for. Who can tell exactly what your property can sell for? It varies with the times. After all, our homes get older each year and ^therefore decrease but in the tax assessor's book they increase. Why not tax according cost of services given t o a c o m m u n i t y a n d k e e p these departments under strict watch? In the village of Lakemoor, where I live, we get no services of account. Our little 2x4 school has been that way for the twenty-two years I have seen it. If we had a larger school we could have a playground, baseball field for the children and they would not have to depend on Mc- Henry, which is 3 miles away. We pay for our own police, garbage, water, roads and drainage, yet our tax rate is slightly lower than that of McHenry. A farm gives a small revenue for years. A subdivider buys it, builds homes there and suddenly it becomes very expensive to keep up by the county and the taxes get higher and higher. We once had a Boston Tea Party which we brag about. Far be it from me to advocate that kind of action but it is time we have a look into the situation. If we had less taxes we would have more spending change. If we knew we would not have to worry about planning commissions to enforce things. Let's find out if Hodge also has any replicas. We do not need a slogan, "You ought to buy now". We need a new one, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
