Vs J* Friday,. November 29, 1968 - Plaindealer - Pg. 13 That time of year is here 8- gain, and each day adds to the growing number of folks ordering greeting cards. Just a few hints from the card experts may be helpful for those who are ready to order. When titles are used (Mr. and '> Sirs. ) the husband's title always comes first; without title, either name (Mary and John) may come first. A widow or married woman has imprinting to read either Mrs. John Jones or Ruth Jones, but never Mrs. Ruth Jones ^unless she is divorced. For plural forms of the names, these examples may send your cards in the best of taste. When plurals end in "0", add "s" - the Delanos; in "s" . add "es" - The Joneses; in "x" add «es" - The Foxes; in "y" add "s" - The Purdeys; in "z" add "es" - The Cortezes; in "ch" add "es" - The Bunches; and "sh" the "es" - The Marshes. And never -- never -- put in an apostrophe (McCarthys). K.A.F. Joining with other organiza* tions ii! the community, thef' American Legion post and auxiliary, Unit 401, will participate in distributing Christmas baskets to the needy in December. Mrs. Dorothy Tharp, Child Welfare chairman, and President Reba Owen are working now on this important project. The ladies of the auxiliary are asked to bring donations of canned goods for the baskets any time between now and Christmas. Every can helps to make someone have a very Merry Christmas. Members are also asked to think about the Christmas party at the December meeting. A grab bag gift is in order. There are now 197 veterans at Elgin State hospital and they are asking for old sheets, socks, hankies, fruit and stationery. A flag Was presented to the local ward at Elgin on Nov. 3.

FAIR BOARD PLANS CHANGES FOR NEXT YEAR (Continued from page 1) At the request of the McHenry County board of supervisors, the fair board unanimously voted to extend its agreement to sell fair-owned property to the board of supervisors in conjunction with a possible courthouse building program at the previously agreed price of $220,000. The board voted to lower the age limit on open class entries to boys and girls who are 9 years old as of Jan. 1 of the current year. Thip is in line with the age requirement for 4-H which was lowered to 9 years old earlier. Judy Rich, 4-H member from Harvard, discussed the need for more dressing room space for the girls 4-H programs. Don Hansen, president, said more space -would be available if the property is sold to the county for its courthouse building program and the fair board is able to establish better facilities of its own. At present the county highway department makes space available in its big building for the home economics show but this is overcrowded because the 4-H and open class programs have expanded. One new officer was elected. Jack Hayes replaces Loren Massey as treasurer. Re-elected officers include Don Hansen, president; Charles Weingart.as vice - president; and Richard Walrath, secretary. In the finanical report, a steady increase in gate receipts shows in the data prepared by Massey. In 1968 admissions totaled $22,983 compared with the 1967 total of $16,101. Fair officials estimate more than 50,000 persons attended the 1968 McHenry County Fair, a record attendance. With greater interest among persons in urban and non-farm parts of McHenry county, board officials predict significant growth in fair participation and attendance in the years ahead. For example, 4-H clubs are springing up rapidly in the nonfarm areas and for the first time more 4-H members come from non - farm parts of the county. David Ladd, Crystal Lake, has accepted the chairmanship of the 1969 Cancer Crusade. Ladd said he plans to contact industrial leaders before the end of 1968 so that the contribution to the Cancer Crusade can be included in the 1969 budget prepared by the many industries. Board members also suggested that various civic clubs and SCHOOL ISSUES UNDER STUDY BY EDUCATORS The Steering committee of the Citizens Advisory council has been in meeting recently with school administrators in general discussion concerning the proposed bond issue for School District 15; how to channel rumors and complaints to a location where they can be cleared up; and the future of the council. i Committed dhsttnrien' werfe ft*&ed to take interest other persons, to take, an active part in the Council and to implement the studies and activities of the committees. Approximately fifty persons gathered to hear Dr. Robert Stanell speak on the subject of dope: its use, its effects, detection of its use, ways and means of combatting its use, communicating with young people regarding its effects on health-physical and psychic, and the ever present danger of unexpected death. A question and answer period followed Dr. Sta - nell's presentation. Dr. Bergstrom urged all persons to call the principal of a school, a teacher, or the administration offices when they hear a statement or a rumor about which they are concerned, wish more information, or wish to clarify.

Local Zoning Appeals Are Recommended The Zoning Board of Appeals for McHenry county has recommended that the county board grant three of four petitions when it meets Dec. 2. One of the three was presented by Lawrence and Ruth Youngberg, asking a permit for conditional use of property north of Lily Lake road, northwest of Island Lake. The request is aske<^ to permit a gravel mining operation. The second request concerned property on the west side of Barnard Mill road, near Howe road. Harvey Jones, Jr., and Donald Jones ask a variation to construct a building to house a small machine shop. The petitioners agreed to a ten-year limit on the variation.
