INVESTIGATE THEFT • The sheriff's office has been investigating the theft of about S30 in currency and some coins from the George Giertsen residence at 118 N. Kent road, McHenry. He can suppress crop-d imaging hail storms to a certain degree, and also the number and danger of lightning bolts in thunderstorms. Two important scientific organizations hive urged a far greater expenditure of federal money for weather research. They feel it may make it possible to modify or steer hurricanes away from populated regions; to suppress them before they develop; to Weak up or prevent tornadoes; and to abolish persistent regional smogs. For those of us whose favorite TV program is the weather, and whose favorite occupation is condemning the man who forecasts it, much of the fun of life will be taken away! Just when we thought we had seen one of the first robins last Friday, we returned from lunch to find two notes on our desk of other sightings. One was by Mrs. Michael Mc- Donagh of :!608 W. Clover, Edgebrook Heights, who saw two, and the other was a call from Agens Wegener of Ingleside, v ho found one in her yard. By this time,' almost a week later, these harbingers of spring may be a common sight --but no less welcome. K.A.F. 20TH CENTURY PROGRESS IN McHENRY AREA (Continued form Page 1) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VALLEY HI ARE PRESENTED (Continued from Page 1) But years passed and the population boom came, along with a modernization process. In 1965, Illinois Bell reports an j average of 29.600 calls per week day originating in Mc Henry and I)..'} calls per tele phone. Growth Continues At the end of the year. | there were 9,400 telephones in the McHenry exchange area (McHenry, Johnsburg. Vnlo. Lakeland Park. McCullom Lake, Griswold Lake, McHenry Shores, Pistakee and Sunnyside ). In the same twelve-month period, 2,000 telephones were installed (300 extensions) and 1.400 disconnected for a gain of 600. Expenses for the year 1965 totalled $763,000, including | $621,000 in wages, $27,80) in • personal property taxes and S120.QOO in purchases. Nine ladies are employed in the local business office and three men work on equipment. mm? BUM.

After all standards are met for sixty-one residents, then he would recommend an increase in quantity for whatever the needs might be at the time. Mr. Nehlig hopes that for the years 1967 and 1968 the construction of Phase I would take place at a cost of $114,400. This would give a sixteen-bed addition to the first floor, increasing the capacity fj~om fifteen to thirty-one. At pkesent it is possible to care for only thirty maximum care residents in the infirmary. Thirty-one residents iifteen on the tirst floor and sixteen on the lower floor, must be ambulatory because of lack of proper facilities and equipment for nursing care. On completion of this phase, ill sixty-one could be maximum care patients. Phase 2 Explained In 1969 and 1970 he recommends the construction of Phase 2 at a cost of $65,000. This program, fgain, will not increase the legal capacity over the present sixty-one, but would enable them to remove one resident from each bedroom which was designed for two but has always been shared by three. Mr. Nehlig says . that completion of this phase should produce a quality nursing home, properly licensed by the state, meeting all medicare standards. Further enlargment, he added. should be made available as soon as finances and public sentiment warrants its completion. It was noted that in 1958, citizens taxed themselves for a new building to upgrade the county home. Since 1959 it has been state licensed and meets present day standards. Mr. Nehlig's concern is whether or not the internal staff and programs will meet the m^re stringent federal requirements expected under Medicare. Other Matters • Regarding action on the zoning for St. Partick's cemetery, :he matter was turned back to the zoning board of appeals for a re-hearing and clarification.

The gigantic project started two years ago by Yolanda Marie Holtzee of Rt. 2, Antioch, neared completion at holiday season and was culminated with delivery, „of the auto by a Fox Lake auto dealer. Yolanda, who hopes some day to become ^ nun in spite of an illness Which keeps her confined to bed much of the time, started her drive for trading stamps after she met Sister Claire Marie, principal of the school, and they became good friends. For more than two years she wh"ote letters of appeal daily to^ anyone of profhinence in the country. She sent them to President Johnson and Gov. Kerner, who sent four books filled with stamps. By early in February, there were sufficient books to buy a car, but an additional 200 were needed for an automatic shift. With the help of Yolanda, St. Peter's pirish members, the Christian Mothers society, and many others, the goal was reached and a new station wagon was delivered. Accepting the new car was the new principal. Sister Christilla. Her predecessor, Sister Claire Marie, who sparked the dream of a little girl to help the nuns, left last month for the East, where she made a short stay before flying to Bolivia, to be a missionary. Her trip will be in fulfillment of a dream that had its start when she was the age of Yolanda. It is interesting to note that Sister Christilla is now in her third teaching period at St. Peter's. She came to Spring Grove for the first time in 1953, left to attend St. Bonaventure university in New York City, returned in 1953 for three years, and came back for Enthusiastic support of the Lake Region YMCA has been reported by worker*; of the annual finance campaign with 43 percent achievement tallied at the second report meeting.
