Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, November 18# 1965. in i in' & Meanderin' (Continued form "Page 1) having the building retained as a research center for some interested company. They would prefer obtaining 40 acres of the 127-acre Pure Oil property adjacent to the present Crystal Lake high school grounds for college use. Skinner expressed little enthusiasm for the land itself and feels the building could be well utilized for a college. Earl F. Lawrence of this area, one of the strong promoters of the junior college program in 1963, which was defeated in referendum, has stated the steps necessary for approval of a district, including petition, public hearing, and referendum. It is after this that a district board is elected which selects the site and curriculum. Now the question arises as to purchase of a building before the other requirements are met which would assure the program being carried out. Even with state aid available, would financial assistance be offered now, when the building is available, even though the referendum has not been presented? These are questions we have heard asked, and for which we have no definite answers. The proposal has come about very recently, and since a valuable piece of property is at stake, it may be presumed that the time element must enter into any decision. The desire for a junior college in the county met with considerable enthusiasm during a survey conducted two years ago, but a call for funds to carry out the program told another story. The need exists. Only time will tell whether or not it takes precedence over the many demands people feel today. V McHenry residents have joined others from throughout the county in helping to preserve a bit of early hisory for future generations. Among them is Helen Haynes of 1517 N. Meadow lane, McHenry, who purchased the last stamp sold at the old West McHenry post office and was given the official notice posted on the door announcing its closing. These she has presented to the McHenry County Historical society. Through the interest of LeRoy Smith, postmaster, several of the interior fixtures were given to the society, including the stamp' dow, private lock box section and other items. ' Mrs. Nancy Maxson of Lakeland Park was second runnerup in the auto show hostess queen contest held in the Fox river valley early this -month. The young woman was selected on poise, beauty and other attributes necessary to " her role as hostess. CURTAIN CALL FOR CAST OF JUNIOR PLAY (Continued from Page 1) Since last week, 1966 license plates have been on their way to the post office in Springfield from the motor vehicle division of the office of the Secretary of State. At this time, it is estimated that about 100,000 plates are enroute to motorists. This is the earliest date that licenses have been placed in the mail in the history of the office.

Although they are little,, the kettles have leading roles in The Salvation Army "Stars of Cheer" Christmas campaign. Stationed at busy street corners and shopping centers for twenty-five days, the kettles are The Salvation Army's major appeal to the public for help in bringing Christmas cheer to some 44,000 needy persons in the metropolitan., Chicago area. "Christmas is one of the most important days in the year, and we must make it more than jus a date on the calendar for the unfortunate," said Commissioner Samuel Hepburn, commander of The Salvation Army in the Middle West. "Contributions to the Army's Christmas campaign support the holiday activities and help provide some of the funds necessary for the other programs which help the needy the year round. You and The Salvation Army together can put the Christmas spirit into every day." Starting with a limited number of locations, Salvation Army officials hope to have 153 kettles in use as the holiday shopping season advances. The "kettle stands" will be attended by bell-ringing cadets, officers, soldiers and Salvationists wearing regulation navy blue uniforms or red caps. Atop the "kettle -stands" are red, green and whnt^igns reading: "Give for Christmas Cheer and Welfare All Year." The coins and dollars dropped into the kettles finance a Christmas program in the Chicago area which includes holiday dinners and presents for needy families; gay parties for youngsters, senior citizens and homeless and handicapped men; toys and treats for children: remembrances for patients - in military and civilian hospitals, for residents of homes for the aged, for men and women in correctional institutions; and^ warmth and cheer for the for-, gotten and friendless.
