M u n d a y, superintendent of forestry camps of the Illinois Youth Commission. Th.e report was presented to Senator R. G. Crisenberry, chairman of Correctional Service Advisory Board to the commission. TTie mobilized unit will operate as a branch of Lowden State Boys' camp near Oregon, Munday said, but it will travel throughout the state to handle work projects 7 assigned by the Illinois Department of Conservation. Surplus trucks and' buses are being converted into living quarters for 20 boys and their supervisors. The work is being done by the prison industries and vocational departments at the Illinois State Penitentiary at Joliet. Spring Styles For Mi-Lady Natural curves, soft lines and featherweight fabrics emphasize femininity in spring fashions. The silhouette may be full skirted or slim skirted, but. in either case the sleeve and shoulder area will be emphasized, reports Esther Siemen, clothing specialist at the University of Illinois. The big change is big sleeves. Some are wide at the shoulder and taper down. Others are fitted at the armhole and flare out into funnel shapes. Many have deeper arinholes like the kimono style. Some are draped. Capelet. sleeves are - also used to create the wider, more open look. The neckline styles used most often with the big-sleeve look are the familiar jewel and boat styles. Waistlines are at the natural curve or slightly lower. The lower line is achieved by using the fitted, long-torso bodice and shallow hip yoke with full skirts flaring or pleated below the yoke. The feminine, rounded hipline effect is also attained by using soft pleats and shirring at the waistline. Slim skirts, often tapering to the hemline to form a cone shape, vie with the full skirts for top styling. Circular skirts are reappearing and add vari- • ety to the full-skirted styles. Pleated skirts are popular, particularly in the newer synthetic fabrics that can be permanently pleated. Short jacket costumes dominate suit styles. These shorter jackets end at the hipline or above. A few longer jackets are on the market too. Cardigan- style jackets are good in all lengths. The trend toward femininity is carried through in soft fruit colors, such as mint, raspberry and lemon. Black is the top basic color this season. Spring prints range from giant florals to colorful abstracts. Checks of every kind are everywhere. Featherweight fabrics have strong competition for top position from the textured fabrics. Dobby weaves, eyelashfringed fabrics and prints giving the impression of texture are plentiful. Silk fabrics in both novelty textures and smooth-surfaced fabrics are in favor. So are rich-looking cottons and fabric b l e n d s . S y n t h e t i c s b l e n d e d with silk, wool and cotton create new fabrics different in appearance- and cafe. Artificial flowers, especially big flowers and clusters, have top priority in the accessory field. Jewelry repeats the trend to bigness. Chokers and bibs of beads are good. Leather also has a place in the spring fashion scheme. Leather gloves are back in vogue, and leather belts in all colors retain their popularity.

DElta 6-4790 HOSPITAL SEEKS BETTER WAY TO SERVE PATIENTS In a constant seafch for. a better way to serve its patients, Memorial Hospital foe McHenry County at Woodstock has been mailing out questionnaires to patrons of the past four months. These questionnaires ask that the former patients mark boxes, yes or no, as to the services at the hospital and if they were satisfactory. The questionnaires are still coming in and have yet to be evaluated for general consensus; however most of those received are complementary even when they are constructively critical. Hospital, Administrator Bert Hanson says that there may be a number of changes made because of these criticisms which frequently point out small needed comforts where, - he. says, the staff, "couldn't air ways see the forest for the trees." One such item is a special electric outlet for male patients who wish to shave in the regular washrooms. Hanson said that provisions had been made for electric shavers for the bed patient. Recently two m a l e a m b u l a t o r y p a t i e n t s wanted to shave in the washrooms and found that plug-in outlets were not available. A Wonder Lake woman, who rcently delivered her sixth child at Memorial hospital, says in the comments on her questionnaire that the hospital at Woodstock, "is the only hospital I'd care to be in." She adds. . . "I felt ever so much more watched during labor and believe that this watchful feeling makes things easier for the mother-to-be." This woman adds that she felt she had excellent nursing care. She says, also, that she has been a patient at other hospitals. A McHenry obstetrical patient said that she,, "really enjoyed her stay in "Memorial hospital. . . it was more like a hotel than a hospital. The food was excellent, the service perfect, and the new rooms and nursery such a welcome improvement." She adds, "I can't brag enough about our new hospital." Hanson says the questionnaires are designed to emphasize both to patients and to members of the hospital family that the hospital's primary concern is with the comfort of the patient. Also it is to provide a basis for reinforcing strengths and correcting deficiencies as seen by the patient. |C ROSSWORD •» •» •» By A. C.

And the questionnaires _ can provide indication of factors which may be related to patient attitudes, such as the reason for the hospitalization and the nature of the financing of the hospital bill. Hanson says that he and his staff never cease asking themselves this one question, "Has everything possible been done to give this patient sympathy, ! comfort, - and assurance along j with regular professional icare?" VA ASSISTANCE A Veterans' Administration representative from the Rockford VA Office will be on duty at Woodstock Tuesday, April 5, to inform and assist veterans, their dependents and the general public regarding all benefit programs of the VA. Their representative will be on duty from 30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the U S. Post Office building, second floor, in Woodstock.

Advertising Makes Business Whether one realizes it or not, advertising is perhaps the most wonderful development of the modern commercial age. It is the maker or breaker of business," big or little. Tt is the one factor of successful sales that is most apt to be overlooked by the merchants and business men of small towns and cities. Advertising is not the exclusive weapon of big business; it is the power th&t will make little concerns grow into larger success. It is a science that requires study and, be it said, character. It cannot suc- [ ceed if it is based upon untruth; it must build upon faith and integrity. The McHenry Plaindealer is prepared to assist local businessmen with their adver- y tising problems.
