They •first opened the doors on May ;1, 1939. - Some sixty-five couples made a {donation to purchase a beautiful white dinette set with six •chairs upholstered in a handsome gold color plastic. They were also presented with a gor- < gpous blue center peice, a towel set and a corsage of pink carnations for Genevieve. The two also received centerpieces from family and friends. • A lavish hot ;jneal of fried chicken, hot roast beef, salads of all kinds, and many other goodies were served starting at 6:30 p.m. A buffet meal with baked ham as the entree was served to guests at midnight, A live orchestra provided the music for dancing (if you could find the room, that is.) The task of collecting the money for the gift was in the capable hands of Gladys and Merv Schmitt and Fred Matthesius. We understand Gladie and Fred made the purchases and their taste was excellent! Those attending from the village were far too numerous to mention by name, but some of the old timers who returned to pay homage were Sarah and Harry Mackin, Mary and John N i h i l l , L o r r a i n e S t a c k n i c k Weigel and sister, Lillian, the Ed Stacknicks, Mary and Ed Houlihan (who enjoyed more than one date at Mac's while they were a courtin'), Mrs. Tim (Evelyn) O'Meara, Jean's gal pal --Mrs. Lou Ghillow, Marge and Louie Kick from • Yorkville, Mr. and Mrs. Neil (Maisie) Blissch from Mauston, Wise., Harry McDade and his lady friend, and many of the Chicago crowd that made the trip out here twice a year--for , bowling matches in the winter, . : and ball games in the summer.

Best wishes to all. For once the calendar and the thermometer are synchronized. As of Monday, it really is Spring!! Think it will last? See you next week. that newspapers and radio stations of McHenry county have been bringing the program of the center to the public in outstanding manner. George Mally, administrator, said as a result of growing numbers of referrals and inquiries, the center, at present is able to handle mainly emergency cases, involving children and adults. The response to the work of the center, the great challenge ahead and the need for contributions generated, mixed feeling among board members. Main reaction perhaps, was frustration. • The increased workload of patients needing psychiatric help intensifies the pressure on the bbard to seek ways to solve, the mental health care problem in McHenry county, Joseph Gitlin, president, has observed. The" board continued its discussions on developing ways to broaden its efforts in the communities with informational and educational programs away from the center's building in McHenry. However, when, Mally reported psychiatrists on the staff had little time for seminars or lectures at present, the topic was sidetracked until next month. Mally reported the center had seventy-seven referrals in February, qompared with forty in January. For the past six months in 1965, it had 23Q referrals, or about forty a month. Board members approved a bake sgle as a fund-raising method. Walter Schuett, new member of the board, announced the series of five lectures and discussions on investments 'will start the week of April 11. Persons attending will donate $25 to the Mental Health Center.
