Spring Clean-Up This is National Library Week, an ideal time to put aside procrastination and visit the McHenry library. You might be surprised to find that the interior of the attractive building holds a treasure of reading to please all tastes. Nation-wide, librarians are breaking new frontiers in their efforts to get books to readers. Bookmobiles are being used to bring library services to outlying areas. In Canada, books sometimes are delivered to far northern communities by sled. And in Louisiana, airplanes and boats take books to people who live in swampy areas along the Gulf Coast. In another busy location of our country in the East,, the public library is placing books in such unlikely places as beauty par- , lors and, yes, even taverns. In Chicago, the public library is bussing school children to a branch library where they are told about libraries and about books and urged to take books home. Library buildings themselves are usually quiet places, but they are never dull, for they house the most explosive and dynamic of all man's creation -- ideas., Visit our McHenry library today and see what you've been missing! ^ MOBILE X-RAY UNIT PLANS TWO NEARBY VISITS The Mobile Chest X-ray unit, sponsored by the McHenry County Tuberculosis association, will be in Crystal Lake on Friday, April 25.

GIRL SCOUTS PLAN COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT The leaders of Sybaquay Council of Girl Scouts, Inc., are planning a community service project for handicapped people in this area, according to Mrs. Stuart Engh, neighborhood chairman. The plan involves the distribution of Goodwill Industries bags in this area. The general plan is for each Girl Scout to deliver five bags in her neighborhood. The residents who receive these bags are urged to fill them with no longer wanted, yet repairable clothing, shoes, toys, household items of all kinds and small appliances. When the bag is filled the householders should call 385-0863 and a truck will pick up the material. Up to 175 handicapped people of southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois will be employed in a working, earning and learning program annually. This will give them " A Chance, Not Charity". Goodwill Industries is a nonprofit, non-sectarian agency serving the disabled, regardless of faith, color or nationality. the focal point for the community's health care activities. The hospital serves as the leader of health care responsibilities, a responsibility quite evident as the trustees discuss what should be incorporated in the all-new hospital to be built at a different location. "The hospital is identified with a wide range of services," said Anthony Corcoran, administrator, "including diagnostic treatment, rehabilitation, education and prevention". . Some of the community-centered services include community health information programs, area-wide health planning, physical and occupational therapy, well-baby clinics, poison prevention clinics, dietary education and a variety of outpatient and home care programs. Corcoran said McHenry hospital is also becoming involved in the planning of psychiatric and extended care facilities and responsibilities. McHenry hospital has experienced tremendous growth the past few years. An expanding population area has thrust heavier demands on services in all departments. A graphic example is the emergency room. Volume has increased from 1,656 cases in 1960 to an estimated 8,400 cases in 1969. In 1967, first full calendaryear of the present new hospital, it handled 5,425 emergency cases. Corcoran said several steps must be taken to handle this increased caseload. "We must increase the number of skilled personnel, advance in medical technology and enlarge facilities. "McHenry hospital is constantly engaged in the first two steps -- and we are also far along toward developing expanded facilities". In future National Hospital Week stories, -each of those steps will be discussed and show how McHenry hospital is moving forward in each of them.
