At least they are quite sure where they are and what they are doing for several hours of the day. A' good example of vacation anxiety for mom came to light last Thursday afternoon when a four-year-old from McCullom Lake ran into the house to tell her mother that the 'teen-age daughter of the family had drowned. A call to the sheriff's office resulted in a radio message beihg sent to the McHenry fire department to rush to the scene. Five minutes later the call was cancelled when the "victim" walked out of the water unharmed. Evidently she escaped the notice of her younger sister, who thought she had disappeared beneath the surface. Each year about this time, alone and sped away in the craft while the owner of the boat service, Gifford Markeson, was being summoned. In the meantime, a check was made of other boat houses, and near North Bridge Marine, authorities hoard the boat's motor. In danger of being caught, the two pre-teens made a "U" turn and proceeded up the river, with Markeson and Officer Grobel giving chase in the former's boat. In the meantime, sheriff's deputies had arrived on the scene, and were also close behind. Their effort to apprehend the two was hampered by the fact that the boys would travel at high speed, and then shut oil the motor at intervals in an effort to lose the officers.

VIEW HOSPITAL'S NEW THIRD FLOOR AT OPEN HOUSE New features to enable the nursing staff of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County to serve patients more efficiently will be on display Sunday, Sept. 9. The new third floor addition -- adding thirty-six new beds to the county-wide hospital -- will be open for public inspection at an open house from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. that day. . "This will be one of the few times people will be able to see this addition unless they are a patient or are visiting a patient on the floor," reminded Jack Byers, president of the board of directors of Memorial hospital, as he issued an invitation to the public to tour the building. With this addition. Memorial hospitai will have 100 beds. One of the modern features is a closed circuit television nstallation between the new pediatric area and the nurse's station on the third floor. Nurses at the station can see all patients in the pediatric area. It includes a two-bed room and a four-bed room. The television circuit will save steps which frequent checking would require. It will enable nurses to anticipate needs of the children New Call System An audio-visual call system has been installed in the new rooms throughout the new addition. A light will flash at the nurse's station as usual, but in addition nurses now may converse with the patient through an inter-communications system. "This will save many steps and will help nurses offer more help to ail patients," said Bert Hanson, hospital ^administrator. "Nurses can maintain a constant watch at the nurse's station, nerve center for the floor. They will be available at once instead of oeing required to make trips to patients' rooms for duties that could be handled in less time." Total cost of the addition is 5250,000. Furnishing is being paid for through conributions. The woman's auxiliary is a leading force in this area, and through its seventeen-year history it has given $200,000 through cash donations and gifts of equipment. Byers noted that the new addition is in keeping with comprehensive plans made before the $850,000 addition in 1958. At that time architects p'anned the 195>8 construction so that future rooms could be added. They considered major facilities that would be needed when future expansion -- the present addition -- became a reality. Operating room facilities, elevator service, food service and similar necessities for the thirty-six-bed addition were taken care of four years ago. At that time thirty-two beds were added, much of the obsolete part of the hospital was torn down, and major facilities -- laboratory, operating rooms, maternity section, and kitchen, for example -- were Constructed.

R. Levesque of McCullom Lake received a letter this past week from Senator Everett M. Dirksen, telling of Washington commitments which will prevent him from appearing in McHenry county the first week in September. He hopes to be able to return to Illinois so that he may visit this area next month. His letter reads as follows: "I am deeply distressed by the fact that the Senate will continue in daily session well into September and possibly until the first of October to consider important legislation still pending and which must be acted upon before Congress can adjourn. As minority leader, it is my duty to stay in Washington until the job- is finished. As a result, my appearance at meetings in the first week of September which I had so earnestly hoped to attend will have to be cancelled. You can understand my extreme regret over this unhappy fact. I shall try to schedule new meetings in Ocpeter WJ. fasten £f Son OXYGEN EQUIPPED AM BULANCE SERVICE Phone EVergreen 5-0063 tober which I can attend.
