I Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Wednesday, November 27, 1963 THE NEW PRESIDENT Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from P«f* II PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON Dec. 14 Vote Only On College Establishment And Taxing Power (The following article, prepared by the McHenry County Community College committee, Attempts to clarify some of the issues in connection with the Dec. 14 referendum to establish a junior college district.) Should a McHenry County junior College district be established with a maximum taxing power of 14 cents per $100 (rf assessed valuation? This is the only issue facing voters in $te Dec. 14 referendum. •* On Nov. 1, a public hearing fras held to determine the sul. iiciency of a petition requesting iuch a referendum. Some questions raised by citizens at that hearing indicated that some toters felt they would be asked fb vote on the specific proposals for a junior college included in the recently-published report of the McHenry County Community College committee. The committee, after conducting a survey which showed ^3tdt a need existed for a twoyeur college in McIIenry county, made some recommendations which might serve as guidelines if such a college is fstahlished. Some of the recommendations, were: 1. That five basic programs be established including a twoyear college paralled program; Occupational and technical programs to help students reach Vocational goals, an adult education program, a general education program, and a de_ jSciency makeup program for tjon high school graduates. . 2. That a $1,950,000 institution be created with a maxijhum of 300 students the first year, 500 the second year, and expansion to about 1,000 students in five years. The recomjnended building plan proposes that three buildings should be built initially (a main classroom building, a technical building, and a physical education facility!. 3 That a site of at least 80 acres in the general geographic center of the county be purchased for a community college wmpus. (These were some <;r t'no prinil rocommendutitr.s of the iimmittee. Members of the (.'itr/cn ; committee, however, point out thai these specific proposals are not a part of the Dec. 14 referendum. The only issue to be decided is whether a junior college district with certain taxing powers should be established. If the referendum is ap proved, the next stops would be up to a seven-member board of education which would be elected within 30 days. This board would make the derisions regarding the site and type of facilities needed and the kind of program or programs to be offered. EARLY MAILING BIG FACTOR IN HOLIDAY SERVICE (Continued from Page 1) fed with tissue or old newspapers to cushion contents." The public is urged to always send Christinas cards by first class mail, using the new fivecent Christmas tree stamps, and be sure to place return name and address, including ZIP code number on each card envelope. Mr. Smith added that now would be the opportune time for all patrons and businesses to put thair street number on their building if they haven't already done so. This will not only aid the substitute carriers on duty with thousands of letters to deliver, but will aid strangers in town looking for a location. Labels Avalllable Before mailing Christmas cards, secure free labels from the post office which read, "All for local delivery" and "all for out of town delivery," so that cards can be sorted into two bundles with the addresses all facing one way. Mr. Smith said this is especially important this year in order to expedite delivery. He continued to say that it would aid tlie post office in the speedy delivery of mail, as well as save money lor taxpayers, if the public would use the morning deposit of mail. As a rule, the office finds the morning hours lighter, and in the afternoon all of the mail is brought in by thirteen carriers returning from their routes. | This is in addition to the afternoon mail deposited by 75 per cent of the people rather than in the morning. An early afternoon mailing is second best. All Christinas mail going a long distance should be sent before I)oc. 10, followed promptly with cards and gifts for local delivery. CITY JOINS IN SOLEMN TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT trength to perform their daily asks, and for courage to face he dangers of the day. Today we will awaken In a varm house, with the daily )aper at our door and every •onvenience at our fingertips, t won't be necessary for many >f us to even step outside to ,et into the car. Many local churches will be ffering services that day, but IOW many will actually take he time and effort to attend? Because of modern cars, rains and planes, families and riends will be able to share he pleasure of the holiday together. They will sit down to i bountiful dinner which would lave made the pilgrims' re- >ast look unappetizing by comarison. And how long will 11 take to prepare this wide issortment of culinary t^ats? \ few hours at the moK^com- >ared to the many daysTetuired to set even a modest able in those early years. Prepared food in almost 'very category, together with Ir&ezers to preserve it and ivens which roast in increas- Qgly shorter times, will assure lother coming to the table <?sted and able to enjoy the lay with her guests. The themg which tops the front page concerns Thanksgiving as a way of living--today and tomorrow, as it was yesterday. We have the same things to be thankful for today as the Pilgrims, except on a much bigger scale, yet our thanks are often hollow. We make it a day full of action, wrap it up in twenty-four hours and then get back to the routine business of living. Tlil» might be a time for a pre-New Year resolution, devoted to giving thanks in our homes and In our churches, before getting on to the matter of observing the feast of Thanksgiving. Only occasionally do we learn of ways in which we are able to assist a reader through our columns. This very thing occurred recently and was recognized in a letter from Earl M. Friesenecker of Chicago, a summer resident of Emerald Park. In the letter received this week, Mr. Friesenecker said: 'The power of the press aided in partial recovery of the articles taken from my summer home in a burglary recently." He proceeded to tell us how the facts unfolded which eventually resulted in an indictment of a local youth by the grand Jury. We have observed that a few cities are ahead of us on their holiday decorations. It's interesting to drive through and note the variety of light, ing effects achieved, but let's save our shopping trips for our own McHenry stores. SHOP IN McHENRY (Continued Fro n Page 1) solemn and impressive service. Again Monday morning, following 11 o'clock Mass at St. Mary's Catholic church, the rifle squad was present at a brief tribute in front of the church. Business places, citizens, the V.F.W. and Legion joined in displaying their flags throughout the weekend. At the post ; office, a large picture of the President was draped in black and displayed in the window facing Green street. Both there and at the city bank and savings and loan office, flags will continue to fly for the next thirty days. MOTOR FI'EL PAYMENT McHenry county's allotment of Motor Fuel tax paid in October was S12.55S. Newly painted a bright red. the Christmas kettles of the Salvation Army will make; their seasonal debut in Chicago and suburbs on Friday, Nov. 29, ready to be filled with contributions to make the holidays happy for the needy. The kettles are small, but their jobs are big. The "Stars of Cheer" holiday campaign is one of the most worthwhile of the season and merits the support of everyone. Only four weeks remain until Christmas -- just enough time for the youngsters to send their letters to Santa, by way of the Plaindealer. K. A. F. City ChurcJl Offers Rites (Continued from page |) Oh My Soul," at the annual Thanksgiving service at 9 o'clock Thursday, Nov. 28, at Zion Lutheran church.

St. Paul's Episcopal Special Thanksgiving services will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal church on Thursday, with Mass at 7:15 and a family Mass at 9:30. DEDICATE NEW BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY, DEC. 1 (Continued From Page 1) belongs to the Southern Baptist association, the church is not alone for southern Baptists but for all members of the community. The Baptist church is both the oldest and the newest in McHenry. Its first service was in 1837, with the Rev. Joel Wheeler first minister. In 1850 a brick church was built at the corner of Green and Elm streets, and at that time Eev. Eliab Going was pastor. After many years during which it ceased to exist* the Baptist church opened itSxdoors more than two years, a goo The McHenry community! is proud of the long history of the Baptist church, as it is the many other churches which have strengthened the mpral fibre of the city. , Mourn President's Death This Week (Continued From Page 1) Maine carries "VACATIONLAND" in its license plates-- except hearses, which carry MAINE only. president's body was taken to Arlington for burial. The cathedral was filled with more than 1,100 persons, including well known personages from throughout the world.

THREE MINOR ACCIDENTS IN McHENRY AREA (Continued From Page I) o'clock, near the entrance to the V.F.W. clubhouse, involving cars driven by Judith A. Diedrich of 708 Country Club drive, McHenry and Florence M. Cheyne of Wauconda. The former told sheriff's deputies who investigated that she was travelling east on Rt. 120 and saw the other car waiting with a turn signal on. Mrs. Cheyne added that she saw the oncoming auto and waited for it to pass, but admitted her car was slightly over the line. Investigation revealed that the vehicle was 4 feet across center and she was ticketed for failure to yield the right-of-way. A second accident took place about 1:15 Saturday morning at the intersection of I$,t: 120 and Chapel Hill road. Judith Hubbard of Crystal Lake said she stopped at the end of Chapel Hill road before making a right turn onto Rt. 120. As she entered the highway she made too wide a turn and crossed the center line, striking another auto driven by Shirley A. Janke of Wauconda, who said she swerved to the side but was unable to avoid the collision. The sheriff's office investigated. There were no injuries in either accident. A car driven by Harry Stinespring, Jr. of 3329 N. Bay View, Pistakee, went out of control as Mr. Stinespring rounded a curve at the Bay last Sunday evening, and the car turned over coming to rest on its side. He was uninjured.

Our only request is that writers limit themselves to' 300 words or less signature, full address and phone number. We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable taste.) "Dear Editor: "For what shall we be thankful this Thanksgiving Day, 1963? "The heart of the nation was picrced by the assassin's bullet. The world, in shock, has paused, in a long moment of sad reflection. Why? The question, in the minds of us all, in our hearts is answered. We feel we know the reason why. "Hate, the cancer, is eating its destructive way throughout the world, rending it asunder, undermining everything which civilization stands for. It has no place in the progress of man. Modern science is steadily bringing us closer to the rest of the world, but, it seems that modern science can do nothing to bring the world together in brotherly love. "Love is truly the greatest power in the world. If practiced individually and internationally, it could yield a great harvest of peace and harmony in this world of tears. Greed for power, lust for the material, jealousy and all selfish interests provide fertile fields for the roots of hatred. "As well as adults, the youth COUNTY INVESTS $120,825 IN U.S. SAVINGS BONDS McHenry county residents purchased a tota^ of $120,825 in series K and H United States savings bonds in October, according to Donald J.

For a long moment, consciousness of self was lost in the seriousness of the tragedy. May the impression live with them and their posterity, to the end of time. Nothing, before, has seemed to strike them with such tremendous impact, as this heifl^ ous deed. "War, even, has become something we talk about and live with the knowledge of its existence, but know nothing about, in reality, in this America of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, our younger generation is greatly affected by the strife which exists in the world. As yet it has not touched our way of life with its devastation and destruction. It has deprived us of loved ones, but it is something we, in America, do not know very well, and God willing, may it never come to us. "Let us, this Thanksgiving Day, fall to our knees in grateful thanksgiving, that we, in our beloved America, still have a chance to work toward a world of peace. Let us pledge that we shall strive to sow the seeds of brotherly love, that they may grow, and bloom, with flower in such great abundance that the weeds of wickedness will be overcome throughout the wkrld, and peace will prevail 'til the end of time.

The public aid rolls remained practically unchanged in September following decreases in five successive months. Harold O. Swank, director of the Illinois Department of Public Aid, said that the Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, and General Assistance rolls declined and there were only slight increases in the Blind Assistance and Disability Assistance rolls. Payments for outstanding medical obligations increased in the 1961-1963 biennium by recipients of Aid to the Medically Indigent Aged accounted for an increase in both recipients and expendituresN^pr this program. The caseload in Mclj^nry county was as follows: Total, all programs^ 594, $26,971; old age assi$8rfe£, 189, $14,017; aid to dependent children, 161, $5,790; blind assistance, 3, $160; disability assistance, 19, $1,026; general assistance, 222, $5,978.
