The Planning Commission, established in late 1963 by the . McHenry county board of supervisors as an advisory body, will unveil preliminary plans for natural resources development in McHenry county.

The scope exhibits exhibits t r a i n e d m e c h a n i c portable of this project can be gleaned from this fact: It will take six men two days to erect the dome and exhibit, and Hansen is lining up a science teacher or someone familiar with the nature of the exhibit to assume the responsibility of erecting and managing the project. In establishing this rolling exhibit, the U.S. Atomic Inergy Commission noted: "Atomic energy is piaying a vital role in the life of every citizen in the United States today.
