Ridge road., McHenry, was hostess for the evening. The following members answered roll call, Mesdames Fiala, Johnson, McEachren, Murphy, Nelson, Ottoson, Pose, hostess, Mrs. Hoppe, and president Mrs. Wielock. We were most happy to have Mrs. McEachren among our midst again after her European tour and hope some time in the near future to be able to see some of the pictures she took on her trip. Roll call was "Name a house plant you now have." A person really never knows how many house plants there are until you hear them mentioned as we did the other night. Our club members could open a "house plant shop" with very little effort. At this meeting we learned that we can now add thirteen ribbons to our list, which is quite solid for a year of work, and while we are not a ribbon club, it is most gratifying to know that some of the members take pride in showing what can be done with flowers, plants and vegetables and have our club mentioned by the Garden Club of Illinois. Our program was a discussion on corsage making, which will come forth at our January meeting. Meeting adjourned at 10 p.m. with all who ate Mrs. Hoppe's good home made coffee cakes bursting at the seams. HOW MANY HAVE NOTICED THE POST OFFICE FRONTAGE?

Lodge, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, said last week. "October of 1964 has been one of the driest in history," Lodge said. "In some parts of the state no precipitation has been recorded during the month. The forest fire situation is serious throughout Illinois and it is extremely dangerous in southern Illinois. I urge everyone to be careful when burning brush or crop residue. Do no leave fires unattended." VOTE ON PRAIRIE GROVE SCHOOL ADDITION SOON The public will be asked to vote on a proposed addition to Prairie Grove school, located on Rt. 176, Saturday, Dec. 5, when the polls will be open from noon to 7 p.m. The school serves residents in the Burton's Bridge community. The proposed addition would eliminate the use of the basement classroom with its narrow stairway to the first floor. The room would revert to a storage room. The new addition will eliminate crowded classrooms and provide room for a library recommended by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The addition would provide room for a kindergarten and music room. In June, 1964, there were 163 students, and at this time there are 181. The multi-purpose room is needed because there are no lunch room facilities now. Itwill provide the faculty and| students with better and moref sanitary surroundings. | At present, no large area isf available for educational per- * iods, such as movies and school % programs. ji A multi-purpose room Is surep to answer a very pressing need'; for a recreation space during | inclement weather, and also to aid the physical education program. Tumbling mats now hang unused as crowded classrooms provide no space for their use. It will do away with the inconvenience of transporting the students to Cary-Grove high school for basketball practice. These are reported to be basic requirements necessary to comply with the state recommendations to remain fully accredited. SHOP SM 'MeHENlf DR. F. KHELLY OPTOMETRIST At 1224 N.
