Fehrenbach , When the guns fell into un- Msy silence along the 38th jiarallel ten years ago, the end of war in Korea did not write the end of an era but merely marked a fork on the road the world is still traveling. Ranking in the minds of some as a skirmish in the roster of the major wars of history, actually this collision between the earth's two power blocs ttjst more than two million lives and showed clearly the extent of the chasm beside Jyhich men walk. * Mr. Fehrenbach approaches Bis dramatic, authoritative, and oard-hitting account of that near disastrous war from the angle of those who fought it. While he has drawn from such sources as official records, operations journals, histories, and newspapers, his book is based largely on the personal narrntives of men who served in Korea -- not the high commanders, but the men who served under them, the platoon leaders in charge of small units slugging across the bloody face df Korea from June, 1950, to Xuly, 1953. One of the distinguishing aspects of the book, 4jtid one that makes for immense readability as well as comprehension, is the author^ ability to move in these very close to each company option, and then stand back and consider the over-all scene and the strategic principles in- Vplved» - From the first North Korean attack through the interminable negotiations at Panmunjom, each phase of the grueling war is covered: Mac- Arthur's masterstroke -- the |hchon invasion, the wild Chase liorthward of the remnants of the North Korean Army; theories of hallucinations and misjudgments culminating in the shattering of the United Stations Army by the Chinese In November, 1950; Mac Arthur's replacement by Ridge- Vay; the r«-recrossing of the 3Bth parallel; the stalemate $hd the endless truce talks.

FIFTH FREEDOM -- TO READ No week in the whole calendar of stated observances has more universal application than National Library Week. And none should have more general applause. This year's observance of National Library Weels is set for April 21 to 27. The motto selected is "Read: The Fifth Freedom -- Enjoy It!" And in Illinois, as in other states, civic committees have been enlisted to place special emphasis on that cherished freedom and the means by which every citizen may enjoy it -- the Public Library. But the real symbol of Library Week is the open book -- knowledge, entertainment, science and technology, the tools of man's handicraft as well as; the arts, the words that have inspired man's progress, and the challenges that have kept progress alive. The Public Library keeps that book open to all. There was a time when possession of a library was the privilege only of the very rich, or those in political power who had a bent for book-collecting. But in our day, that privilege is spread over tens of millions of people through the Public Library -- the vast peopleowned library in the major cities; the people-owned library down the street in the smaller towns. That "Fifth Freedom" of reading is our most cherished intellectual freedom. It should be enjoyed. Its boundaries should be continually enlarged. And therein lies a major purpose of National Library Week -- to expand the facilities of all our Public Libraries; to make it possible to offer greater opportunities of enjoyment and instruction everywhere; to eliminate the dark areas on the library map where there is either no service or inadequate service to readers hungry for books; and to create a climate in government and sub-government where the Public Library's needs are recognized as springing from the citizen's need and aspiration, and therefore to be given the attention they merit. Library Week will be observed in every community where a Public Library exists. Visit your library. Meet the librarians who serve as trustees of this vast asset of ours, and who serve with such admirable understanding and skill. And remember that back of our Public Library, back of all the other Public Libraries, there is that American genius and ideal which early in our history set this Fifth Freedom -- the right to read -- high infjour constellation of freedoms. f This is the McHenry library as it looks today, a little more than ten years after it was remodelled. The library board, and other interested citizens hope enough funds can be collected to place an addition on the south part of the structure and increase the number of books available to the. public. the lines different from the society it is set up to protoct. Americans, the author says, fully understand the realistic requirements of the football field and of the baseball diamond, but not the battlefield. "The civilian liberal and the soldier," he states, "unforunately are eyeing two different things: the civilians arc concerned with men living together in peace and amiability and justice: the soldier's task is to teach men to suffer and fight, kill and die." The terrible lesson of Korea was that to send into action troops trained for nothing but "serving a hitch" in some quiet billet is little better than murder. This whole question is of vital concern to us all. As the author also stresses, if another, similar action follows the Korean "police action," it SEEK BETTER FACILITIES WITH CONTRIBUTIONS Board Members Contribute will not be years or months, or even days, but.. a matter of hours until American tro )>s are committed -- ready or not. This book also contains a chronology, glossaries, maps, charts, and photographs. NEW READERS Since January, 1962. when the library was opened daily, there have been 727 new readers, 25,000 books have been loaned out, and 1,500 new books have been added to the library. , m Fund Campaign Far From Goal McHenry residents most interested in the future of the public library are hoping to renew interest in the building fund drive with the beginning of a new season. To date, total campaign funds reach only $2,472.99 - far from the $40,000 goal sought in the area. A sizeable contribution left by the late McHenry photographer, Andrew Worwick, will be added to this amount, but even then, the figure falls far The public library of 1963 has adapted itself, like so many other institutions, to our tim* and needs. It has become clearing house in the cor munity for both knowledge and the arts. : Within its fiscal means, today's library provides visual and aural material, records, pictures, film and microfilm, and technological and scientific material that would in its variety have astonished the library-user of a generation ago. Steps for linking of libraries have been taken so that even the smallest community may share the advantages of larger cities in the availability of books. Our own state library has been expanded to carry books to the most neglected corners. In seeking funds for an addition to McHenry's library, there is no thought to procido "frills" only to give the kind of i library service which the growing community deserves. Nearby Woodstock has 20,000 books in its public library, and Crystal Lake boasts between 17,000 and 18,000. McHenry has only 5,500 by contrast. National Library Week is most timely for each of us to pledge a contribution so that McHenry may have a library which ranks with other leading cities of the county. When the drive for funds to expand facilities at McHenry's public library opened last fall, members of the library board were the first to contribute. Shown with them above are Mayor Donald Doherty, at left, and Mrs. Lynn Stuart, librarian, standing at right. Members of the board include Former Mayor George P. Freund and William Bolger, standing; Earl R. Walsh, Mrs. Robert Weber, Mrs. Clarence Anglese and Mrs. A. J. Wirtz, seated,, • OLD TIMERS LOOK BACK ON LIBRARY'S START short of the amount of money necessary to proceed with building plans. The drive for funds is sponsored jointly by the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Chamber of Commerce, J a y c e e s , K i w a n i s , R o t a r y , Woman's club, High School an"d Grade School P.T.A. groups. Money collected is intended for use in two ways, partly for an addition extending south of the present library building at the corner of Main and Green streets, and the remainder to increase the number of books available to the publi^. Old timers in the McHenry area--which in these fast moving times must include residents of twenty or more years in the community---look.back with interest on the long struggle of a few interested people to provide a public library in the city. 2While the present library is small, it still represents untold effort on the part of some people to improve this particular cultural program. Back in the 'thirties the library, with its .limited number of books, waa housed in one room just inside the Main street entrance to the , local high school. ' i - When an enrollment rise forced the use of every foot of space for students, it was the city which came to the aid of the library and offered space in the city hall. This, of course, was intended only as a temporary arrangement and the time came when a move from these quarters became a necessity. In 1962 it was learned that, the William Tesch home, one of the olde'st" residences in the city, was available for purchase. Much work was required to convert it into a library, but the location seemed excellent and the city acted to buy the property. More recent history is known to even the newer residents of the area, and the need for greater facilities is generally recognized. This can only be accomplished through contributions made by every person in the community. LIBRARIANS Mrs. Lynn Stuart, librarian, is assisted by Bonnie Beato as assistant librarian, and by volunteers, Mrs. Robert Beckenbaugh and Mrs. Lynn Pile.
