Shown during a planning session for teachers of the First Baptist church are left, Mrs. Baptists Seek New Goal For Sunday School " Planning and preparation are essential to any good ed­ ucational program", was the observation of John Muncy, a- dult director of education for the McHenry First Baptist church. Every Wednesday eve­ ning all teachers of the Sun­ day Bible school at the Bap­ tist church meet to plan and prepare for the coming Sun­ day's lessons. Some time ago the local church took as its goal, "the largest Sunday school in McHenry county". The growth has been continu­ ous until at present the en­ rollment is over 500 pupils and teachers. "We are not so concerned with numbers that we would de­ crease the quality of our tea­ ching though", Clifford War- die, director of education for the church, commented. "It is to dedicated men and women such as Mrs. Smith, Mrs Ru­ pert and Mrs. Erb that we owe the good quality of our tea­ ching". Just a few weeks ago the church began a dual Sun­ day school -- worship pro- * gram on Sunday morning which Ralph Smith, Mrs. Merton Rupert and Mrs. C. Edward Erb, Jr. has also contributed to the ef­ ficiency of the educational pro­ gram for the church. Other ministries to the com­ munity offered by the local Baptist church include: Inter­ pretation for the deaf on Sun­ day evening, directed by Mrs. Tom Jackson; a Spanish lan­ guage worship service on Tues­ day evening; a week-day child care program, directed hy Mrs. V. Chappell; and free bus trans­ portation to regular worship services at the church, direc­ ted by Robert Branson.

Post 4600 recently granted a one-year nursing scholarship to Mary Kay Wel­ ter of McHenry. Mary Kay is currently attending the Little Company of Mary Hospital School of Nursing. An unusual coincidence is that a second- year student at the same nurs­ ing school is also receiving as­ sistance through a scholarship from the Ladies auxiliary. The 1969-1970 membership kick-off dinner for the 5th dis­ trict of the auxiliary will be held Nov. 22 in Bensenville. Those attending from our auxiliary will be Marge Moreth, mem­ bership chairman, and June Schmunk, president. Public relations Chairman Gerry Breede presented a check to the president which was an award she had received for hav­ ing placed fourth in competition with her 1968-1969 publicity book. The award was received from the 5th district in the state of Illinois. The charter was draped in an impressive ceremony in mem­ ory of Florence Svoboda, a past president of our auxiliary who was killed in an automobile ac­ cident Labor Day weekend. Our deepest sympathy isextendedto her family. The next regular meeting will be held on Monday, Oct. 13. Bull Valley Home Will Be Displayed Oct. 1 When Holiday Hospitality Day, the yearly "production" of the Women's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHen­ ry county, comes on Wednes­ day, Oct. 1 there will be a broad smile on the face of William Fleming, 88 year "young" member of the Wood­ stock Residence. His school, the Cold Spring school, a few miles southwest of McHenry, will be one of the tour homes on exhibit. It is now the quaint and charming home of the Ken­ neth Fiske, Jr. Mr. Fleming had all the schooling he ever had - through the third grade - in what start­ ed out as the Bull Valley school and was then changed to the Cold Spring school name. He said there were five "kids" in the whole school then, one room and one teacher, Miss Francis Willis. It was warm and cozy, though, because of the great big old pot-bellied stove which the five of them had to keep filled with wood. He walked to school each day - about 3/4 of a mile as you "crossed lots". It would have been heresy to follow a road! His schooling was cut short be­ cause he "had to stay home and work and pick pickles." He fre­ quently went back to call on his teacher,though. Mr. Fleming's mother and father came from Barreville and bought their Bull Valley 160-acre farm from the gov­ ernment for $7 an acre. When he became older he bought 120 ac­ res for his own but had to pay a much higher price, $40 an acres. He agrees it is worth many, many times that now. Mr. Fleming has been at the Woodstock Residence two years and assures everyone he's not sick - he just "needs a little taking care of." Walter Hunt Baby Baptized Dale Joseph was the name chosen for the infant son of Mr. and Walter I. Hunt of Mc­ Henry when he was baptized Sunday, Sept. 14, at St. Mary's Catholic church at 2 o'clock by Rev. Lawrence Urbaniak. Spon­ sors were an aunt, Janet Mil­ ler, and an uncle, Gerald Mil- er, Jr. The baby's grandfather, Gerald Miller, Sr., acted as proxy for his son who is in the navy in Jacksonville, Fla. The baby's father is serving with the army in Vietnam. For his christening Dale Jo­ seph, who was bom Sept. 4 at Memorial hospital, Wood­ stock, wore a dress which has been worn by all the mem­ bers of the Miller family for three generations. The new mother is the for­ mer Carol Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Miller, Sr. Paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Hunt of McHenry. The baby has two great-grandmothers, Mrs. Jo­ seph J. Miller of McHenry and Mrs. William Hunt of Wood­ stock. PG. 2 - PLAINDEALER WED.
