Il toas crossed our mind that prbbably a few folks were relieved of items not intended for the rubbish pile when efficient city crews made their way through the area in the interest of a cleaner McHenry. •One of our own employees admits to having . a battered garbage can mistaken for unwanted trash when it wasn't removed to the rear of the house after a visit by the disposal unit last weekend. Hardly a week passes that a call is not received to ask our deadline for some particular item. When we ask the nature of what they intend to submit, we are not discriminating but only attempting to give a better idea of the latest time that particular type of news material or advertising can be accepted. ; We are often surprised to learn the number of people who believe we actually sit a- Xound between issues, waiting for- deadline copy to provide ^Something to do. And there -quite a number who con- *fitje~"that they never stopped 3$0?pnk what happens in those •days- between press time late 'Wednesday and the following Tuesday. ""Actually, quite a bit happens, •arid much of it is the effort we '•ptut' forth to convince contribu- 'tore that we can't publish a 22-page paper on Wednesday with 90 per cent of the material submitted at the deadline. I Linotype operators sit at '•their machines constantly from ; Thursday morning until the !presses roll. It is the duty of the advertising and editorial -departments to provide sufficient copy to keep them busy, and sometimes this is the first and biggest headache of Thursday and Friday. The next, on Tuesday and Wednesday, is to keep the copy down to an amount that can be set in the time remaining and fit into t available space. < Finding a piece of so-called ' **filler" copy in the paper Sometimes makes a reader wince when he realizes his more important story had to be cut, or more unfortunate, was left out entirely. The answer, almost always, is that the "filler" was set on Friday and dfffpped into an early press ruor, whereas more important cSfjy was received in great atiiuhdance nearer press time. J^this point the space gremlins entered in and the result is arr unhappy contributor, --fn a newspaper office, like Taijy other, there are exceptions to rules, and sometimes it is necessary to disappoint .contributors who have com- •piied with all the deadlines. 7ft"these cases, we can only .use- the material which seems most immediate that particular week and say a sincere "sorry" to anyone who had to be slighted until the next week. Fortunately, the great majority of folks are most understanding of problems which no newspaper has ever been able to solve completely. Webster has defined the word "deadline" this way: "The hour at which the printing forms of a newspaper are New IV2 Million Dollar Health Center Climaxes long Building Program The public's first look at Mc- Henry's magnificent new Hospital will be Sunday afternoon, May 22. Anthony Corcoran, administrator, announced this week. Open house to show off the $1'/a million health care center will take place in eleven days, climaxing a building program that began in September, 1964. Corcoran said a preview for persons in the medical and associated fields will be given through invitation on May 21. New Hospital Rises Virtually an entire new hospital has risen with a total of 119 beds added to the McHenry hospital. None of the 1956 construction is a part of the hospital. Only the former administrative offices--converted into the expanded kitchen--and the maternity department and patient area will be used from the 1961 building program. For this reason the description as an "all-new" hospital is timely and is in keeping with the major transformation of the McHenry hospital into a progressive patient care facility. At the open house, visitors will be able to see how the Progressive Patient Care setup works. Progressive patient care is the systematic classification of patients on the basis 'of- their medical and nursing needs, with the organization of the hospital's facilities, services, and staff centered around these needs. Progressive Patient Care is a pattern of hospital organization which will (a) Provide a high level of patient care at the lowest possible cost to the patient. (b) Make the best utilization BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR GIRL IS RECOVERY Little Jana Kim Darnell observed her fifth birthday on Wednesday, May 11, and the two things she wanted most were given to her. First, she was recovering from serious surgery performed the previous day, and second, she was able to have her mother with her. 'S( The little girl was transferred to Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago, from McHenry hospital after she suffered a |kull fracture last Thursday evening. Jana Kim was watching her brother in a Little League game on McCracken field when she was accidentally struck by a bat. She underwent surgery Tuesday and remained in the intensive care unit over night. As she awoke on her birthday she was feeling better and asking for her mother. Jana Kim is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Darnell of 3706 Timothy Lane, McHenry.

Administrator Howard Nehlig of Valley Hi county home appeared before the county board at its May meeting Tuesday to speak on Medicare and how it will involve the home. He explained that to be eligible for the program, it is necessary first for a patient to spend three days in the hospital before being admitted to a rest home. The program then pays for the first twenty days, and for the next eighty days the recipient pays five dollars a day. In cases where the patient requires relief, the township pays this amount. Since the charge at Valley Hi is six dollars, the additional dollar is paid under the Medicare program, which pays only on 100 days for the same illness. Non-Proflt I'se Mr. Nehlig pointed out that Medicare is not available for care except in a non-profit rest home, and chiefly for this reason 60 per cent of the present homes will not qualify. Standards, he said, are high- (Continued on Page 5) (Continued on Page 5) GOP Caravan To Visit City It was announced this week by J.R.

STEAL S OM MIRY RLY SATURDAY Car Abandoned Ai Island Lake Afler Squad Chase State police, assisted by the county sheriff's office, have been investigating a burglary last Saturday morning at Ludwig Dairy, Rt. 31, McHenry. Although a small safe was taken from the office, it was later abandoned, along with the car, as authorities gave chase. State police stopped the car as it turned from Rt. 31 onto Highway 176 about 3:30 in the morning and asked the driver to accompany him to the squad car. Another, unidentified man remained in the auto. As state police placed a call to the sheriff's office, the driver asked if he might return to shut off his auto as he was almost out of gasoline. Instead of returning, he hurried into the driver's seat and drove away at high speed. As he did so, the trunk opened, revealing the safe. Find Auto When the auto failed to stop on orders from the trooper, the latter fired three shots and then gave chase, losing the car on a side street at Island Lake. Soon afterward the auto was found abandoned, the safe still in the trunk. In the meantime, a driver for the dairy arrived at work about 4 a.m. and noticed that the sliding glass window over the checking counter had been broken. Investigation revealed that a large safe was intact, but a smaller one in the office of Manager Paul E. Parker In an impressive ceremony which took place last Thursday morning in the McHenry high school gym, the second public "tapping" took place, welcoming fifty-one junior and seniors into the National Honor society. Thirty-three of the total were seniors, sixteen new to the society this year. The procedure of "tapping", including the names of new members, was kept secret until the actual ceremony began. As members from 1965 were presented names of those newly elected, they went into the large audience and brought each one to the stage. Membership is determined by a vote of the faculty on such qualities as scholarship, leadership, character and service. It is necessary that students named maintain at least a "B" average or better throughout their four years. Explain Society The welcome was given by Ken Etten, president, after which the four major qualifications to membership were discussed as follows: Glenn Olsen. scholarship: Rick Ruzicka, leadership; Kathy Blake, service: and Sherry Gehrke, character. Carl Easton is' vice-president of the society; Lynn Krebs, secretary; and Dennis Blake, treasurer. PROM WEEKEND Juniors at McHenry high school are busy transforming the large school gymnasium into a setting appropriate for the junior prom theme. "Shangri- La". The prom will be held this Saturday.

Schoenholtz" was authorized to employ a third grade teacher for Edgebrook school to serve the needs of the anticipated overflow from Hilltop next year.

The operating expense for 1964-65 per pupil in the district was set at $488.53 and the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction established the minimum per capita tuition rate at $470.09. Discussion centered on the attempt by District 15 to obtain educational benefits from the government for the parochial schools, the application to be made by the public school. If approved, such items as library books, audio-visual material and others would be available in a program mutually beneficial to both public and private schools. Several board members expressed their intention of attending the Tri-County division meeting in Libertyville on May 17. when problems common to the three counties will be discussed.
