The lazy folks should smile with pleasure with the promise of servers and dishwashers that automatically go back and forth between kitchen and dining room or patio. Now all we need is that fourday work week to make life really worth living. Sad to say, some of us will probably be too old to enjoy the comforts promised us by the time they become realities. Musings while watching the inauguration ball! We wondered how many of us Would have admitted, as the President's mother did, that she was wearing a twenty-twoyear- old gown, i We wondered how such corny songs could be dedicated to such good looking women at an otherwise impressive event. We were surprised at the number of folks who would detract from their dignity Jong enough to wave in the' television camera (And they did, in great numbers). We wondered how many in that big assemblage would have admitted they had sore feet and wished they could go home early. We wondered how many oldsters looked at the youthful appearance of the President's mother and adopted a new philosophy: "Life beings at 70". NAME PETIT JURY Announcement was made this week of the names of forty members selected to serve on the petit jury panel scheduled to report Feb. 7 for duty in the circuit court.

A short note from Jeppe Jepsen of Johnsburg says he is in accord with the thoughts expressed in this column last week concerning the morbid curiosity with which so many folks seem to be afflicted. Mr. Jepsen experienced much the same problem we did recently when lie came upon a serious accident, and feels that such curiosity is a dangerous thing. Plan Report Highlights (Continuleedd from Page 1) report ol' Juuliyk, 1959, by Rakovy and Associates. A review of the report revealed that the sysl em proposed by Rakow is based on fire flow demand only, and does not consider the normal day to day demand. For tills reason, recommendations of planners' engineers would be instead of, not in addition to, the Rakow proposals'. The costs are broken down into three parts as follows: A, city only, pertaining to the present city limits, total project cost; $409,632; 2, second phase, considering a population of 17,300. basically in those areas already plotted^ within the jurisdictional- area, $1,316, 323; 3, final phase, with a saturated population according to the proposed area zoning approaching 66,000 persons, $4,- 552,114. These costs are for the feeder mains only, and in the case of the jurisdictional area, are for the difference in cost of the larger main as compared to a 6-inch main, Planners sayfurther that these costs represent what would be the reasonable share to be borne by the city in providing service. In the city, hydrant costs are included. It is expected that costs would be borne by the developer in the jurisdictional area, and hence, are excluded in the second and final phases. The ultimate source.cf water supply for the area is con sidered to be the Fox river. The problems of recession of the water level in deep aquifers and the lower productivity of gravel wells, resulting in an excessive number of wells, make the river the best long range solution. Present water treatment methods produce a product equally as palatable as any well or inland lake water. COUPLES RETURN FROM TRIP TO INAUGURATION Mr. and Mrs. William Bolger and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Weeks returned home Saturday from an exciting trip to Washington D.C. to attend the inauguration of President John Kennedy. The two couples failed to reach the capitol city Thursday evening because of the snow storm, btrt arrived Friday morning to attend a reception given for several hundred by Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois, followed by the inauguration ceremony, the parade and the evening ball in the National Guard Armory. For about an hour, the Mc- Heny folks watched the parade across the street from the White House, where the President sat four hours as the line of march passed the reviewing stand. A tour of the White House and other points of interest in Washington, and a visit to the opening session of <30ngress, were enjoyed befoije starting for home. Billy May, a sixth grade pupil at St. Peter's school in Spring Grove, is happy with a recent letter from President Kennedy. Billy had written him a letter congratulating him on his election to office. AWARD CONTRACT The Illinois Division of Highways has announced the award of contracts totalling $4,102,- 437.
