Approximately" 50,000 high school juniors were tested for academic aptitudes and basic skills achievement last fall by CIRCE. Among the schools taking part was McHenry. The test results are valuable for the schools in counseling students about college and vocational plans, Hastings said.

Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) as most of us are, had better watch. ^ The world*s most unreliable weather prognosticator is about to make his annual prognostication. According to folklore, the ground hog, or woodchuck, awakens today from his long winter sleep, sticks his head out of his home in the ^round and looks around. If he sees his shadow he crawls back into the hole and the answer is six more weeks of winter weather. If he doesn't see his shadow, he stays out of his hole, and this, according to legend, means that spring weather is just around the corner. And what is all this nonsense about? Not much,"according to encyclopedias which tell us that science hasn't confirmed a bit of Ms and the whole thing is nothing more than superstition. While some of us may disagree, the experts tell us we are better relying on the Weather bureau, which in the long run is more reliable than the average ground hog. And now with all the facts before us, we have a choice this second day of February, 1968! New Name For Therapy Center (Continued from page 1) Their responsibility is to finance and maintain the center. The Therapy center has only four sources of revenue; it receives no local, state or national funds from either tax or physical therapy organizational sources. The four main sources: 1. Sale of seals at Easter time -- set for March 1 - April 14 this year. 2. Fees charged for services rendered to people; those able to pay are asked to do so. Outof- county patients do pay. 3. Special contributions, such as memorial gifts, legacies, and corporate gifts. 5. Special fund-raising events sponsored by the board of trustees. Last year, the Therapy center served more than 2,000 physical therapy patient visits and gave 1,700 speech lessons and examinations. Both adults and children are treated at the center.

It came to our attention just prior to last week's issue that a column in a recent issue of the Chicago Daily News carried a small item commending a kind act of a McHenry man. Before we could check the notice, a letter reached our desk with a clipping and a suggestion that we might want to let others know. The man was Walter Schultz, conductor on the Milwaukee railroad, who saw a motorist in trouble with a car stuck in an unplowed lot. He rushed to assist, pushed t%p?ar out of the snow and then ran back to his train just in time. We know Mr. Schultz only slightly, but have developed through the past couple of years a friendship with his daughter, Nancy, a personable young miss who will be remembered as the McHenry and Illinois-Eastern Iowa Little Miss Peanut. K.A.F. ITEM: The most Important thing to do to insure that stored clothing will come out of storage in good condition is to put them away clean. Even an hdur of wear can leave skin oils and perspiration on the fabric. Be especially careful with children's clothing, for they may forget they've worn a garment since it was cleaned. INJURIES INCREASE Work injuries reported to the Illinois Industrial Commission are on the rise, according to the Illinois Department of Labor. John E.

In the first 10 months of this year, 52,439 injuries were reported, indicating there will be about 63,000 injuries during 1967.
