Gus»Persson, Woodstock, has a collection of ove r 300 films that he is having fresh prints made from but can't identify. As soon as these are identified they are replaced with other "unknowns". Quite a few of the locations have been identified but the names of the people are more difficult as many have passed away. When the collection has been identified as far as possible, Mr. Persson is donating the collection to the Historical society. This will be quite an addition to its collection. Possibly other communities could pick up this idea and get old time pictures identified.

A lot of people seem to think a lot of noise is necessary to back up an un-sound argument. over the year. Mrs. Denker received a warm response for her delightful presentation of American musical comedy in review and at the conclusion YMCA president Louis Schairer, presented Mrs. Denker and Mrs. Hide with certificates of appreciation. The evening's business was devoted to an up-to-date report on the finance campaign.

It is evident- that, with six-tenths of the job completed, the 1968 finance campaign needs to continue. The evening's main speaker was Ralph Woods, executive director of the Elgin YMCA. Mr. Woods encouraged workers to proceed with getting the job done. "It's still undone," he said. "The 'Y* exists to serve all the youth and your help, and that of friends, is essential to create the atmosphere to extend the meaning of the 'Y* to all areas of community life." Mr. Woods related incidents during his years of "Y" service where individual encounters of all types with youth and adults have been responsible for great changes in the outcome of personal lives. He talked of his experiences with social problems where the influence of the "Y" has helped turn the tide of community action for the better. Mr. Woods continued, "What the YMGA does on a day-to -day basis is to provide youth with a place to experiment with life, and the YMCA with its trained stiif and facilities provides the best place for youth and families to do their experimenting. The YMCA is a change agent in, a rapidly developing and confusing world, and its programs provide an introduction to the largest opportunity in the world With the continuing help of every worker and an affirmative response from the residents of the service area, the money OFFICIAL ENTRY FOR Mi S3 McHENRY CONTEST Name Address Age -Birth date- Parents' Names Phone Number School Status I consent to my daughter's participation in McHenry, 1968 contest. the Miss SIGNED by either mother or father Photo must accompany entry. : Women's Club federation To I Meet April 10 The McHenry County Federation of Women's clubs will hold its annual spring meeting and luncheon Wednesday, April 10, at Orsolini's in Richmond.
