Many colleges do not permit cars on campus; housing can be either in dorms, private residences or co-ops Where the student works for til* keep. It was stressed however, that students register early enough in their senior year to guarantee housing for themselves. College Night, has proved a foe service to parents and itudents alike. The P.T.A. and Clarence Anglese, in particular, deserve a standing ovation ffajr presenting the program With such great success. Lil- Han Larson and her committee were commended on the Vfry fine refreshments, and the calm manner in which they served the better than 300 persons, instead of the possible 190 they expected. The next regular meeting of tfie High School P.T.A. will be held on Jan. 9, at which Bert Boerner, juvenile officer from Woodstock, will speak on "Juvenile Problems." Refreshments will be handled by the sophomore class mothers, whose chairman is Mrs. Val Fradinardo.

Phone- 385-0783 The President's physical fitness program, which resulted in the fifty-mile hike fad, seems to have merit, for the American public is truly experiencing a loss of ambition. Best evidence we have heard in a long time comes with the iffer, at a remarkably low price -- $5.95 -- of a toll road ^un that saves you the labor of throwing quarters and nickels into a coin collector. Vou simply load the gun with coins and shoot them into the col- 'ection bin. Apart from accessories that ire purely for the lazy, there ire plenty available now for those whose hobby is gadgets. For instance, you can now fuzzy-wuzzy your car. It is possible to buy a fuzzy custom kit .in a choice of three colors ;o that the entire inside (or outside) of your car can be fuzzy -- dashboard, arm rests, bumpers, fenders, even tail pipe. To attain a new kind of status symbol, be the first on your block to have fuzzy shock ibsorbers. There are also dummy spotlights available. They're chorme plated and have all the advantages of real spotlights except that they don't light up. There are a number of ithers also, like a phony antenna for those who can't afford a car radio; "voodoo head" Tearshift knobs; and "oo-gah" horn or one that bellows like i bull. A wolf whistle is even available for the young swain who has never acquired the kill. In a very busy season, MCHS itudents have spent an exceptionally active and rewarding week filled with a variety of activities. Friday and Saturday evenings brought audiences not large enough considering the excellent talents of a junior ^ast which presented a most enjoyable play depicting the world of Carl Sandburg. Sunday and Monday found almost ninety choral students oarticipating in the annual "ounty fall music festival in Huntley, which drew a better* -than-usual crowd for one of »he best events of its kind irt the history of the festival. Tuesday evening saw the basketball team on the home rloor for the first game of the season. The month ahead until the holiday promises to keep these voung people, their family and friends who are their followers on the move to keep up with their many events. K. A. F. CONDUCT HOLIDAY DRIVE The Lakeland Park Boy Scouts will conduct a drive on Saturday, Nov. 23, for articles for Christmas, to be sent to the Dixon school. If anyone desires to donate he may contact Jim Daurio or Bob Mathews, Scout leaders. promise of a new $150,000 bridge at this point. It was June of 1039 that the dream of the entire community was realized at the dedication of the bridge. The patriotism of the club became known to all who passed through the small community in 1940 when an eightyfive foot high flag pole was erected, and the ceretnony which accompanied it was characteristic of the importance they placed on the program. Interest In Building In the early part of 1952 came the first reports of interest in construction of a building at Memorial park, which was to be called Memorial hall in memory of those from the community who participated in protection of their country in time of need. It was decided that a bond issue be floated by the club in the amount of $20,000, the important action preceding building operations. Grand opening took place in April of 1953, and since that time progress has been steady. In 1959 the club erected a tennis court which is flooded with water in the winter to make a skating rink, and in 1962 the grounds were improved with a permanent outside pavilion used at carnivals and by organizations for picnics. It was in May of this year that a vote of 67 to 23 favored the new addition which is beihg dedicated this weekend. The fact that average attendance at monthly meetings is about seventy members, testifies to the popularity of a club which has done much in the last forty-one years to create interest in the home community and its progress. Outstanding men who have served as president are Math N. Schmitt, John A. Miller, William J. Meyers, Anton M. Schmitt, Fred J. Smith, Mike Schaefer and Lloyd Frqui^d, who has been president since 1961. WOODSTOCK MAKES BID FOR TITLE AS TOP CITY Woodstock's rejuvenation as a city on the move began with the installation of the city manager form of government ten years ago, John Strohm. nationally-known resident of the neighboring city, told the All-America Cities jury in Detroit, Mich., Tuesday. Strohm, who originally nominated his home town for the recognition, was official spokesman for a delegation that totaled twenty-two people. Woodstock is one of the top twenty-two cities still in the running in the Look magazine --National Municipal League contest. Eleven winners of equal stature vyill be chosen but the announcement won't, be made until April, 1964, in publications of the sponsors. The contest is being held in conjunction with the 69th National Conference on Government which ends Wednesday. Strohm said when the nonpartisan reform ticket won the campaign to install the present form of government, "the ground work was laid for a revival of citizen action." He listed an eight-goal platform for progress and revealed specific areas where citizen action -- as contrasted to government action--brought about community improvement.

CHURCH Speaking to a group of at least 150 members of the McHenry Township Republican Women's club, Mrs. Marguerite Stitt Church (former Congresswoman, 13th district) noted the appropriateness of their meeting date. Tuesday, Nov. 19, for this date marks the anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg address. "Of all our President*, Mr. Lincoln is the most universally known and the most esteemed, and proudly, he was a Republican President," said Mrs. Church. She called for a return to the Lincoln principles of government, which are our heritage. A return to a government of laws, not men! A reinforcement of the system of checks and balances so vital to our survival as a Constitutional Republic. A resumption of the obligation ol government tr* do only those things for its people, that they are unable to accomplish for themselves. And finally, a return to morality and devotion to our motto, "In God We Trust," the Chief Justice's recent commentary, to the contrary. These were her comments. Love, devotion, dedication-- to God, to country, to your party--all the qualities so valued by Mrs. Church are exemplified in her career; and these accounted for the standing ovation she received on conclusion of her speech. Earlier in the afternoon, the members and guests of the Republican Women's club enjoyed a revue of fashions and hair styles. The 1964-66 officers were elected and will assume office in February. They are Mrs. Thomas R. Davis, president; Mrs. Robert Orgler, first vice-president; Mrs. Fred Bond, second vice-president; Mrs. William Glosson, secretary; and Mrs. William Haynes, treasurer. Before Mrs. Davis introduced Mrs. Audrey Peak, Republican national committeewoman for Illinois, she presented the retiring president, Mrs. Chuck Miller, with a gift from the members of the club. The gift, was a bracelet with charms symbolic of her service on behalf of the Republican party. The next meeting of the club Will be on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at the Community Methodist church. Raymond Chan of Northbrook will explain party structure and the duties of each office. SHOPPING CENTER IS RAVAGED BY FLAMES TUESDAY A fire which resulted in damage estimated at $1,000,000 raged through a section of the Meadowdale Shopping center early Tuesday morning. The cause was undetermined, but arson is suspected. Twenty-five stores in the section known as the Winter Garden Shop area were destroyed, fourteen of them hav- ;ng surrounded the indoor ice ;kating rink, which was also ravaged by flames. The twenty-sixth store, Carson Pirie Scott & Co., suffered heavily from smoke and water lamage when the sprinkler system was started by the intense hea^ \ This wis the second major fire at the center in the last three years. New Christmas Stamps Printed Postmaster LeRoy M. Smith advises that the Post Office department and the National Tuberculosis association have joined in promotion of the new Christmas postage stamp and the association's 1963 Christmas seal. The new 5-cent Christmas stamp reproduces a three-color painting of the national Christmas tree on the eastern Ellipse near the White House. The new Christmas seal of the National Tuberculdsis association is designed for affixing in pairs or blocks of four, so two wintery scenes are reproduced. -- a jolly snowman on one seal, his snowhouse on another. Both seals feature the familiar red double-barred cross of the association. It is suggested that mailers of greeting cards and other holiday mail use a Christmas stamp on the front of the envelope, a Christmas seal on the back of it. Printing presses are grinding out huge quantities of stamps and seals to carry these holiday messages of goodwill. The National Tuberculosis association will distribute in excess of 100.000,000 sheets of seals in seeking public support of its fight against tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases. The Post Office department plans to print two billion Christmas stamps. Last year the first Christmas stamp ever issued in this country was a one-billion seller, and despite the fact that presses worked overtime an unanticipated heavy demand often resulted in temporary sellouts at post office windows. This will not happen again, postal officials promise. ENTRY THWARTED Burglars were reported to have slashed four screens at the William Kuck home at Wonder Lake, but were unable to gain entrance because of locks on the window.
