This is the first of several articles reporting on these findings. Thirty-six citizens of the district, under the consultanship of Dr. Ralph Belnap and Dr. Leo Loughlin from Northera Illinois University, made this study. The Rev. Stewart B. Smith acted as general chairman. The Citizens' Committee was organized into four subcommittees: Population, Ray Thelen, chairman; curriculum, N. D. Gregg, chairman; building and site, LeRoy Marshall, chairman; and finance, Jerry Olsen, chairman. Later named as public relations chairman was Mrs. Calvin V y d u n a . Fourteen months, starting in May of 1962, were spent on accumulation and study of statistics. Determine Needs Three approaches were used by the population committee in determining the future enrollment of the Johnsburg public school. In every case, the end results were the same -- double enrollment by the school year 1968-69. In other words, instead of the present 500 students, there will be 1,000. The predicted enrollment figures were available in August of 1962 and their accuracy was proven by the 1962-63 school year enrollment and the kindergarten registry for the 1963- 64 school year. At present, every available dassroom is being used. This includes three basement rooms. In the school year 1964-65, there will be a need for three additional classrooms, in 1965- 66 an additional two rooms, and in 1966-67 another additional two rooms. These are the facts the committee is faced with -- seven additional classrooms are necessary within the next three yeajrs. In conjunction with future room shortages, the curriculum committee found deficiencies in the educational program. Makes Comparison The curriculum committee made a comparison of edudational programs offered in the following schools: Johnsburg, St. John's, Edgebrook, McHenry Junior high and Crystal Lake. They studied time allotments per week in various subjects offered. It was noted that deficiencies exist in the curricular areas of Art, Foreign Language, Homerriaking, Industrial Arts and Instrumental Music. Taking into consideration the population committee's recommendation for seven additional classrooms for the school year 1966-67, and further expansion beyond that, the committee recon> mended that some of the classrooms be used as teaching stations In the areas of curricular deficiencies. The next article will deal with state recommendations on curriculum and building reports. ANNUAL LEGION CARNIVAL WILL OPEN JULY 3 (Continued from Page 1) many other items which so clearly identify a carnival atmosphere. 125 Workers In order for the carnival to function at its best, 125 workers are needed, and they will all be volunteers, including Legionnaires and friends to work at booths and ticket stands. The rides include the scrambler, merry-go-round, octopus, round-up. tilt-a-whirl, paratrooper, ferris wheel and dodgem, a new ride. There wi|i also be three specialties jttkt for the kiddies. Proceeds received from litao carnival will be used to bssifet various programs of local Organizations which the American Legion is sponsoring. Among them are the Sons of the American Legion, Legion Viscounts, Legion baseball, Boys State, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, scholarship funds and other soliciting organizations. < ferred to the camp by phy !.;ians, schools, hospitals and clinics. About five will be residents of the McHenry community. New Equipment One of the first attraction* greet the children this year is a restorator, a new ma- - f ine used for the restoration <>f physical power. One of it«- most important features is the i!>ility to give to the child r feeling of being able to walk through manipulation. It was designed by an engineer for his wife, who was told by her physician to get as much exercise as possible with a minimum of effort. Since no device was then availavle, the husband proceeded to invent the restorator, one of the newest contrivances for such patients. The bike contraption is part of a new facility to be offered this year known as physical medicine equipment for rehabilitation. Other Items will include large colored mats for cxercise to music, designed to provide balance and also to strengthen muscles. Ministering to the needs of the forty children who are now at camp, and the forty additional youngsters who will spend August there, is a large staff. Included is a speech therapist, physio therapist, trained nurse, four regular primary teachers, counselors, a physical education instructor and a swimming teacher. Eighteenth Year The camp has entered its eighteenth year, and for seventeen of these the director has been the vary capable Mary Longo, whose warm personality has probably proved as much benefit to these unfortunate youngsters as the therapy offered. She is assisted by Mrs. Elizabeth Crinnion, also a favorite of the little ones. One of the highlights of the season for each group of children will be the annual visit of Kiwanis members and their wives to provide a day of fun which includes pony and train rides, clowns and a number of other attractions. On July 14, open house will be held at camp for the Chicago Club for Crippled Children, the sponsor. Villa Maria Opens Not too far distan, on the Bay, Camp Villa Maria opened its doors on Thursday to forty- five girls from the Chicago Catholic Archdiocese. In the weeks to follow, until Labor Day, ninety childi'en from the various orphanages will arrive at camp each week for a seven-day vacation in the wooded atmosphere of this lovely spot. In addition to Mrs. Judy Siercki, camp director, there are ten counselors to oversee activities, as well as the nuns from the various orphanages which are sending children. Last year a Dakota (Sioux) Indian was employed to conduct the crafts program familiar to his people. This year, counselors with special skills in a variety of fields will act as instructors. Villa Maria is located on the side of the old Stilling hotel. At one time the hotel was the only building on the camp except for the chapel. It was torn down several years ago and the camp now consists of When Walter Brooks died last week, few of his friends and neighbors in McHenry knew that forty-eight years before his death at the age of 82, he had proved himself a hero in the Eastland disaster in Chicago.. Records of his service, on the Chicago police force credit him with rescuing thirty-seven persons from the capsized excursion ship Eastland on July 24, 1915. He was one of many who aided in the tragedy which took the lives of 812 persons. Then a traffic patrolman with three years service on the force, he was in the water for twenty hours aiding in the rescue, and suffered from exposure which resulted in illness. « County Residents May Soon Decide Junior College Future At the present time, McHenry county is in the midst of a survey conducted to learn the desires and the needs of area residents in regard to a junior college. Although the wheels are only beginning to turn, it may not be too long before county citizens may be called upon to give the final answer on whether or not this area will be the home of such an institution. It is true that in spite of much talk about scarcity of room available in the nation's college and universities, many accredited, but lesser known schools are still able to accommodate additional students. Nevertheless future forecasts state that compared to the 200,000 students working toward degrees in the state at present, the projection for 1970 is 393,000, and for 1980 550,000, an increase of 177 per cent. This puts an entirely new light on the present situation. There is no denying the fact that colleges and universities are becoming more selective in their enrollment, and by doing so are eliminating many students described as "marginal." If the prediction of a 96 per cent increase in college- bound students in seven years comes even close to that mark, there is need right now to do some serious thinking about a solution. If the 18-year-old who can profit by higher education, but is not among the top percentage of his class, is not to be denied advanced learning, it isn't too early to begin examining the possibility of the two-year, junior college, which has beccome popular as an answer in other heavily populated states. Cost is certainly an important consideration. The local county finance committee, through long study, has given a tentative cost per student of about $1,000 a year, part to be assumed by the state and by tuition. This figure, it is said, would permit a college to offer complete technical, academic and general courses. For community colleges generally, there is an estimated saving to the student of about $1,000 a year on dormitory living, with the advantage of money remaining to bolster local economy. There is reason to believe McHenry county citizens will have the choice to make, and if the current survey prompts the state superintendent of public instruction to suggest proceeding with the plan, residents should be weir informed when a referendum vote is called hy Russ Emerson A condition which finds a person suddenly unable to stay awake is known as narcolepsy, meaning seized with sleep. People so afflicted drop off suddenly, often without preliminary drowsiness, and despite a normal night's rest. The period of sleep is not long, usually one to five minutes, sometimes longer and there are likely to be many such periods during the day. It is believed in some quarters that narcolepsy is born o! emotional insecurity, anxiety, or rebellion toward a pattern of life not of the individual':- choosing. It is, in short, a defense mechanism against coming to grips with problemwhich the narcoleptic does not choose to face.

In 1911 hey purchased 200 acres of Denmark's heathery hills and a year later presented the land to the Danish government with the stipulation that the U. S. Independence Day be observed here every year. True to the memory of John Adams, the pomp isn't confined just to the park speeches, but moves to a neighboring town, where the day is ended with parades and fireworks.

Looking at one of the Plaindealer files of twenty-five years ago we noticed an item that heralded the new system of lifting off the telephone receiver to signal the operator, which replaced the turn of a crank. Yes, we've come a long, long way! It is tragic that many peopfie feel they achieve status by what they are in, like ft new four dormitories, a recreation hall, a staff building, three dining rooms and kitchen, a chapel and rectory. William Caldwell, the 1^- year-old youth charged with murdering his parents in the family home in Lake-in-the- Hilis on June 18, was bound over to the grand jury last Friday morning at a preliminary hearing of Justice of the Peace Jere Dodge in Algonquin. He will remain in the county jail until the grand jury, which has not been in session since last May, is recalled. The previous day, a coroner's jury returned a verdict of instant death by gunshot wounds to the heart at the inquest held into the deaths of his parents, Lucille and Edward Caldwell, held in Crystal Lake. Death of the couple was determined to have occurred at 5:30 p.m. on June 18. The young Dundee . high school graduate reportedly told authorities that after the shooting, he drove to the nearest Oasis on the "tollway lor coffee, and on his return threw the rifle used in tho double murder into the grass after passing the pay gate. It was recovered on June 23. The bodies of the boy's parents were found the previous day in the trunk of the abandoned family car soma distance from their home. Although at first denying any knowledge of their deaths, Caldwell later confessed that he killed his parents after an argumen; with Jiis mother over dating a girl in the subdivision. car, new house, or a new suit, rather than what is in them, like intelligence, knowledge, ability or character.

Green SlrMt McHenry, Illinois McHENRY GIRL PLACES CROWN ON DAIRY PRINCESS Commander Visits City A strikingly beautiful Midge Olbrich today reigns as the McHenry county dairy princess, and she began her busy tenure as the county's ambassador of good will within twelve hours after her selection. Chosen last Thursday night, Midge and runner-up, Rosalynn Rehorst of Hebron, appeared on WGN-TV to talk about the McHenry County Dairy Promotion council, the annual dairy banquet and the path that led to their selection as dairy princess and runner-up, respectively. Midge will represent McHenry county in the American Dairy Association of Illinois Dairy Princess contest Aug. 24 at Bloomlngton. Winner of the4 contest will succeed anothe McHenry county beauty, twe year Illinois Dairy Princess Patricia Hogan. Midge was crowned countv dairy princess by personabl Kathy Cur ran, 1962 count dairy princess. Midge's lonB brunette hair frames a pretty oval face and her perfect complexion helps complete the picture of a lovely feminine princess. The nine candidates were interviewed by judges earlier in the week. Judges based their decision on beauty, personality, ability to speak, knowledge of the dairy industry and poise. A record crowd of more than 300 attended the dairy banquet, largest in the nineyear history of the Dairy Council. It was held at the Harvard Methodist church. In the evening's featured talk, Hugh Muncy, executive vice-president of the Illinois Retail Merchants association, said the percentage of the consumer's dollar that is spent for dair> products has fallen to a place of concern. He said farmers are realizing they must boost their own products and not depend on the retailer or processor to do this job. Muncy complimented the Dairy Council members, which includes the producer, processor and retailer, for their wisdom in year-around promotion. He said they must continue to stress the benefits of dairy food products. In her report on the year's activities, Miss Curran recalled that the Dairy Council has served as a unifying organization for nine years. Through this combined effort the dairy industry and the good food buys available at the dairy counter are stressed. She told about work of the dairy princess candidates and reported the Council has sponsored her and Patricia Hogan, county dairy princess two years ago and the present Illinois Dairy Princess, in a series of talks before women's groups this month. - v \i \ Chef de Gare Hugh J.
