Thursday, October 31, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Ringwood START SERVING HOT LUNCHES AT RINGWOOD SCHOOL l*t lit--u - WX, SMft Starting next Wednesday, Nov. 6, hot sandwiches will be served. Each Wednesday either barbecues or hot dogs will be on the menu. On the 6th, it will be the first for this school year with barbecues being served. Phyllis O'Halleron and Marilyn Bacon will serve on this day. The following week (the 13th) Phyllis and Kate Gelvin will be on the serving committee. And hot dogs will be served. Each week thereafter the two will be alternating. The hot lunches are sponsored by the community club of the Ringwood school and served by the following ladies; Phyllis O'Halleron, Marilyn Bacon, Kate Gelvin, Georgia Bauer, Marion Winters, Lor Brennan, Martha Betts, Dolly Malsch, Helen Barker, Doris Low, Gloria Harvey, Delores White, Joan Preston and Eunice Andreas with Althea Walkington as a substitute. Parents; don't forget to give your child his or her money for the sandwiches each Wednesday if he or she is to get one. There is a nominal fee of 15 cents for each. This is a small amount to pay for your child to get something warm on these cold days to come, since this is not done for profit making, just for the youngsters. I will try to keep you posted in case you forget who is to be serving, or you may call Doris Low or Marion Winters.

Gout is a form of arthritic disease and is a defect in the body chemistry which increases the uric acid in the blood arid tissues. Instead of being carried off in normal fashion by the Kidneys, the uric acid in gout victims crystallizes and winds up in the cartilage at the base of the big toe where the resulting inflammation is one of the most intense pains known to man. Gout, which is probably hereditary, is most prevalent among men and the critical ages are 30 to 50. Perhaps the kindest thing that can be said for gout is that it is the most easily controlled of the arthritic diseases. Now how about a kind word for MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC.?

Complele Mapping Of Bedrock Valley System Mapping of an ancient bedrock valley system in seven Northern Illinois counties has been completed by the Illinois State Geological survey at Urbana. Survey staff members used a gravity meter to obtain more information about the bedrock topography and glacial sand and gravel deposits of the subsurface Troy Valley. Located in Boone, DeKalb, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle and Winnebago counties, the area surveyed is 18 miles wide and extends approximately 60 mites from the Wisconsin border to northern LaSalle County. In this particular area the gravity method was useful in outlining major buried bedrock valleys. Information about bedrock valleys is useful to groundwater geologists. Sand and gravel deposits in these valleys are potential areas for groundwater development. worn I by Maggie Lovewell I Stop the mess and bother of GARBAGE CANS BLOWING OVER by setting them in an old auto tire.

NORTHEAST PLAN GROUP ADOPTS BUDGET FOR '64 At its October annual meeting, the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area Planning commission adopted a budget of $368,000 for its 1964 program of research on metropolitan problems and planning assistance to local governments. James C. Downs Jr., treasurer of the Metropolitan Planning commission, termed it a "balanced budget," based on approximately the same level of public and private support as was available in 1963. The 1964 budget isi 28 per cent Jess than the budget adopted a year ago for 1963. In his financial report, Downs said that the planning agency faces a year-end deficit, for 1963, of $20,700. Chester R. Davis, commission president, noted that while most supporting municipalities increased their appropriations last year as requested, the state of Illiexception of DuPage county. Other counties served by the nois and the six metropolitan area counties did not. with the Planning commission are Cook, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will. SHOP IN McHENRY GIL TAKES ACTION TO OPPOSE NEW COLLEGE PLANS The proposed McHenry County Community College is not acceptable to the members of the Government Improvement League of McHenry County, according to its president, Cal Skinner. Mr. Skinner reported that its members voted 3 to 1 against the projiosal of the College committee as shown in its 140-page report. Mr. Skinner hastened to point out, however, that every member present was in favor of a county-wide community college but differed with respect to its elaborateness. The 75 j,er cent who opposed the proposition were in favor of an alternate proposal which, in their opinion, would provide an equal education but at a tax cost of only about 20 per cent of that proposed by the College committee. .... G. I. L. mcmlwrs, he stated, have analyzed the proposals at a number of meetings and some members have been studying McHenry County community college possibilities since late in 1959. This group favors an alternate proposal which would involve creating a county-wide Community College district at this time, with authority to levy a county real estate tax rate of about 3 cents per hundred dollars of assessed valuation rather than the 14 cent rate proposed by the committee. Following this, they favor the election of a McHenry County Community College board of education with instructions to start a Suburban Community College in McHenry county in the fall of 1964 by utilizing existing publicly owned buildings and facilities, on a rental basis if necessary, for classes to be held during the late afternoons, evenings and Saturdays, when such property is normally but little more than idle pieces of real estate. Such a college, they contend, if exPage vea pertly directed and competently staffed, will meet the college needs of McHenr^ county youth who, for financial or other reasons, cannot attend an existing four-year college. The Government Improvement league feels that such a board of education and such a college program would operate successfully and develop answers during the next two or three years so that an enlarged proposal, if then desirable, could be considered on its merits with more knowledge than at present. Such a procedure, they state, would make it possible to present specific proposals as to cost, site, enrollments, curricula, etc. Whereas, at this time, such proposals can be no more than vaguely related to conditions which may develop. CLOSE FORESTS The four state forests, located in Henderson, Mason, Shelby and Union counties, have been closed to all public use. William T. Lodge, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, said last week. In view of the terrific fire hazard presented by, the lack of rainfall, high winds and carelessness of individuals, this action was taken to insure the safety of the four state-owned forests, Lodge said. Robert II. Moats, agricultural statistician in charge of the Crop Ilei)orting Service, said that crop production in Illinois increased roughly two-fifths in little more than a decade while the number of funis declined from 203,000 in 1950 to 151,000 in 1962 Today, said Moats, onethird of the state's farms account for about two-thirds of its production.
