Secretary Bill Cristy read the minutes of the Jan. 21 Board of Directors' meeting held at President Jim Robison's home on the Kiwanis fiftieth anniversary. This year board meetings will be the last Monday of the month. Treasurer Guy White reports approximately $500 in the bank. Art Lau will get copies of the club by-laws. The board; approved the .application of Warren Lungren for membership. He was installed Jan. 31. Our Lt. Governor will be sent a copy of our bulletin as minutes of meetings. Bob Howe, as chairman of key., clubs and new building, gave a fine report. President Jim Robison gave the program "1965 Kiwanis Theme and Objective." Jim showed a slide film on the ten major objectives for 1965 and explained each. The file also showed the types of committees within the framework of Kiwanis and how they function. The club committees were further described. The Golden Rule is the rule of Kiwanis in all years, as well as in this, our Golden Annviersary Year. Past Presidents' Night is Feb. 27 to be held at the Mill Inn starting at 7:30 p.m. The Wonder Lake Garden Club News On Jan. 13, the Garden Club met at the home of Mrs. Betty Fiala with the following members present: Mesdames Gillette, Johnson, Kopp, Rose Murphy, Nelson, Ottoson, Sanders, Wendt, hostess Mix. Fiala and President Mrs. Wielock. After the business meeting was over, Mrs. Andrew Johnson gave a demonstration on how to make Easter Bunnies. This was both very interesting and instructive. This is to be a Garden Club project and anyone who would be interested in having one, may put their order in to the "Ways and Means" chairwoman,. Mrs. Wendt, (653- 3811) or any member would be willing to take your order. Mrs. Fiala served delicious home made rolls and cake and of course coffee. Jack Rice put the Christmas basket back up at the original place in front of the post office after some one wilfully cut it down. Thi§ is the second time this work has been destroyed by some one mean enough to' do this and if people want to have a nice place to live, the club will continue to do the gardening around the post office but if not, money and work plus time by not doing them, will be saved. These things are done according to the By-Laws and the members are more than willing to have the grounds look nice but who ever is destroying the work done, may he or she have all the good luck they deserve. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Sanders, 7414 Cedar Drive on Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. Notes I think everyone is still hi bernating. The only topic of conversation I have been able to get from people this past week is the weather and "How cold was it by your thermometer this 'morning" and "Did your car start--mine didn't." Between the slipping and sliding on the blacktops leading out of Wonder Lake (wouldn't someone please like to donate some sand or salt for said roads) to listening to the furnace burn * up dollars -- we don't have time for much else. I hope all you "winter lovers" are "happy. You can have my share real cheap. You've probably guessed by now ^hat I am a confirmed snow hater and I always will be. Right now they are towing my poor little "mighty mouse" car to the garage to see if they can't warm it up so it will run again. ItJ hasn't run for a week. So much' for the weather -- and you can have it. I need news -- won't you please call me and tell me what's going on in your area. If you don't I'll have to keep talking about the weather. HOME BUILDERS PLAN HOME SHOW AT COUNTY FAIR The Fox Valley Home Builders association announces that it has sighed a lease with the Kane -County Fair association for the use of the 4-H club building" for the staging Of their annual Home Show.

FARMS DECLINE As of April 1, 1964, Illinois had 143,900 farms, 4,500 less than the previous year, according to the 27th Annual Farm Census report issued by the Illinois Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. ' Total farm land acreage has declined about three per cent during the last decade, according to Robert H. Moats, superintendent in charge of Crop Reporting Service. He pointed out that farming units averaged 208 acres in 1964, up five acres from the previous year. Reclaiming of strip mines and drained land along rivers has partly offset losses of farmland to urban development and other-non-farm uses. -NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that nominating petitions for membership on the Board of Education, .McHenry Community High School District No. 156, McHenry County, Illinois, shall be filed with thef undersigned on and after February 24, 1965, but hot later than March 20, 1965, at the office of the undersigned at Gem Cleaners, 3722 West Elm Street, McHenry, Illinois, Mondays through Saturdays, between the hours of 8:00 a.mf and 4:00 p.m. DONALD HOWARD, Secretary McHenry Community High School District No. 156, McHenry, Illinois (Pub.

AimtOfUZtD WVMOMTH DCALEMS fTiQ CHRYSLER AT MOTORS CORPORATION FURY MOTORS, Inc. McHenry, Illinois e UNIT 491 By Mary Einspar The decision of the Veterans Administration to close thirty- one of its installations in various parts of the country has brought vigorous protest from the women of the American Legion Auxiliary, reports Miss Sandra Lock, chairman of the rehabilitation committee of McHenry Unit 491. The Auxiliary is joining its voice with that of the American Legion in urging that this decision be reconsidered. The Veterans Administration plans to close eleven hospitals, four domiciliary homes and sixteen regional offices for reasons of economy and efficiency, according to its recent announcement. Six thousand veterans will be effected by the closing of the hospitals and homes. Where they will go and who will take care of them is not clear. Veterans in the domiciliary homes are nearing seventy years of age, on the average and are disabled principally by heart disease. Their only income is usually a $66 per month veterans pension and most of them have no families. These are all men who served in defense of the nation in their youth and strength and we think they deserve the nation's continued protection in their old age. McHenry * Unit 491 joined with other units and posts of the county to entertain the patients at Elgin hospital last week. Refreshments and gifts were provided by the Auxiliary to ~ the 700 patients row at thir- hospital. Elgin hospital chairman from McHenry unit is Marie Howe. She was accompanied by County President RutH Mracheck, County Commander Harold Vycital, Ccunty Chaplain George Mr£* chek, McHenry, , Unit President Lydia Fenner, Mary Kantorski, Gertrude Murphy, Delia rreund, Kate Luing, Dorothy Diedrich, Stanley Diedrich and Fred Schoewer. Rehabilitation C h a IT m a n Sandra Lock made her monthly visit to Downey hospital on Thursday. Francis Pickett, Harry Lock, Delia Freund and Fred Schoewer helped Miss Lock in entertaining the veterans. Games were played and refreshments served to almost fifty veteran patients assigned to our unit's particular ward. Each third Thursday of the month Miss Lock provides refreshments and entertainment to those veterans. You do not have to be a member to attend these monthly parties. Anyone interested in providing the patients with a little diversion from hospital routine is welcome. Rehabilitation was the project of the Past Presidents Parley, when they met at the home of Eleanore Reid last week. Many carpet rags»were prepared for the veterans' hospitals. Past presidents of McHenry Unit 491 who attended were Betty Lingenfelter, Mary Einspar, Ann Thennes, Agnes Schaefer, Marge Mikota, Frances Matchen, Dorothy Weichmann, Eva Sparks, Dorothy Diedrich and Ruth Mrachek. Betty Lingenfelter acted as co-hostess to Mrs. Reid. The Past Presidents Parley will hold their next meeting in April at the home of Pearl Pietsch. Henrietta Vycital will act as co-hostess.
