Howlett said he Roped the design competition would cause all students to reflect on the nation's history, as well as the ^ CHURCH SERVICES Man or Statue? Today we see Lincoln in horoic size. Ho ap­ pears almost more of a statue than a man--a groat figure cast in bronze, with a furrowed brow and solemn countenance. Yet Lincoln was a man. He walked the earth, and felt love and joy, but he knew tremendous frustration and almost insurmountable sorrow. He prayed, earn­ estly and effectively. Throughout each crisis in his life, and there were many, he was sustained by faith. God seemed close to him, and he turned to Him often. He didn't pause to think about whether he'd go to church or not. He went. Do you?

"I'm sure a great deal of that in­ terest will be carried over to designing a license plate." The final selection will be made on the basis of creativity. Entrants will be asked to ex­ plain their color selection, as well as any symbols or slogans employed in their design. "Their explanation should show they have done their homework by studying both our state's and nation's history before taking to the drawing boards," Howlett said. Within the next month, Howlett's office will ship design entry forms to all public and private schools throughout Illinois. County Audubon Makes Review Of Past Year Legal Notice Forty-four members of the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Audubon society met at the Elks club in Woodstock for their recent annual meeting, which was preceded by a delicious pot-luck supper, practically a tradition for the group. The committee in charge included Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fleck of McHenry. Chapter president Dave Frey of Woodstock conducted the business meeting of reports of the chapter's twelfth successful year. Vice-president program chairman, Mrs. Floyd Taylor, of Wauconda summarized the past year's program and NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that on January 30th, A.D. 1974, a certificate was filed in the Office of the County Clerk of McHenry Coupty, Illinois, setting forth tne names ana post-office addresses of all of the persons owning, conducting and transacting the business known as V.J. CABINET CO., located at 1806 West Fargo Avenue, McHenry, Illinois 60050. Dated this 30th day of January, A.D. 1974. Vernon W. Kays County Clerk (Pub. Feb. 8,15& 22,1974) /Z The Bible Speaks Virgje L. Chappell, Pastor First Baptist Church, McHenry z) JESUS AND LITTLE CHILDREN It is interesting to move through the Gospels taking special note of references Jesus made concerning children. Jesus was always alert to nature, birds, animals and people. We gather from scripture references that Jesus was also very conscious of the presence of little children. He did not push them into the background, but drew them out by giving special and individual recognition to them. The Apostles were fussing, as only adults would, about which one would be greatest in Christ's coming kingdom. James and John had already requested special seats, one on the right and the other on the left of Jesus. However, Jesus called a little child and set him in the midst of them and said, "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:2-3). Jesus told of the concern of his Heavenly Father for little children. He used the illustration of a shepherd who had 100 sheep. When one sheep went astray, the shepherd left the ninety-nine and sought for the one lo6t sheep. "Even so, it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish" (Matthew 18:14). Children are very impressionable. They learn by copying what others do. Jesus uses very stern language as he cautions us in our example before the children. "But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for. him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matthew 18:16). To teach our children not to believe in Jesus, or to discredit to the Person of Jesus, is a very serious offense. Even professing Christians, in unbelief, often discredit the work of the Lord. One recorded occasion in the life of Jesus was when many mothers came to Jesus bringing their children that Jesus might bless them. The disciples were indignant, but Jesus was displeased with his Apostles, and rebuked them. "Permit thelittle children to come unto me and forbid them not ; for of such is the kingdom of God" (Mark 10:14). The greatest privilege a mother can have is to bring her child to Jesus for His blessing. Children loved Jesus. When the time neared for his crucifixion, on a particular day, he entered the temple area. Multitudes of children followed him, and cried praises of honor upon him. (Matthew 21:15). At this time, virtually all his followers had deserted him. In God's providence, he saw fit for a crowd of children to offer the last word of praise before his crucifixion. It is no wonder, he warned us all, "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven". (Mat­ thew 18:10). outline anticipated highlights for 74. A major change in the Saturday morning field trip proceedings has been the omission of refreshment committees. Participants are expected to bring their own refreshments, and 1he all- important meeting and fellowship time following the hikes will continue un­ diminished by this change. Treasurer Mrs. David Gay of Wonder Lake reported on the status of the treasury, in­ cluding the memorial, con­ servation and scholarship funds. With an increasing number of high school and college age members, the chapter hopes to offer scholarship help to the National Audubon camp in Wisconsin, e n v i r o n m e n t a l s t u d y workshops at Camp Whitcomb or seminars at the Clearing in Ellison Bay, Wis. Mrs. William Carroll, Jr., told of the field trips to Ryder's Woods in Woodstock, conducted on the second Wednesday of each month. In '73, five new species were added, bringing to 110 the total of species seen in this fine natural area. As is always the case in McHenry county Audubon affairs, the public is most welcome to join the hikers. Last year the chapter joined the North Central Audubon council, in which Misses Alice and Leta Clark, McHenry teachers, and Mrs. Ken Fiske of Woodstock serve as direc­ tors. Several chapter members participated in the October semi-annual meeting at Horicon, Wis. President Frey urged more members to plan to take part in the spring meeting which is set for May 4 and 5 at nearby George Williams college camp, Williams Bay. Steve Peck of Crystal Lake reported on the various national and state bird cen­ suses in which Chapter members participate. Thirty members took part in the recently conducted Christmas Bird Census directed by the National Audubon society. Tom Thurow reported on the county Bluebird trail, long a favorite project. He noted that houses set up properly in the correct habitat, at the correct height, and away from predators-both man and animal-were successfully producing fledglings, after several disappointing years. Members suggested that all present bluebird houses be cheeked and, if necessary, moved to better sites in early spring. All agreed it would be good news if the county bluebird population were on the upswing. Virginia Taylor has made available to the chapter at very low cost some outstanding books of natural history, and announced that Darlene Fiske could be contacted for details. Armpatches are being sold by the chapter as well as beautiful sterling silver bird pins hand­ made by a dedicated con­ servationist. All proceeds go toward maintenance of that sanctuary.

In the absence of Miss Bertha Anderson of Crystal Lake, president Frey read her report on the commemorative stamps collected by the chapter and sent to the Florida Audubon society to be used to raise money for research and sanc­ tuary building for the en­ dangered Southern Bald Eagle, f o r m e r l y a b u n d a n t i n t h a t state, and now imperiled like many of the raptors by DDT, pollution and habitat loss. For several years the McHenry county Audubon chapter has been the largest contributor of all Audubon and nature societies in the entire U.S. This past year almost 2,000 stamps were sent to Florida, bringing the grand total to 30,616. Miss Anderson of 55 Maple street, Crystal Lake, will be glad to receive any commemoratives except the Christmas stamps. The election of officers was conducted. Dave Frey will continue as president ad Barb Gay will continue as treasurer. Mrs. Herb Russell and Mrs. Ken Fiske of Woodstock will serve as vice-president and secretary, respectively. The evening's program was given by member Mrs. Bill Sunderlage, who is a devotee of the art of decorative bird eggs. She displayed breathtaking objets d'art, jewelry and ring boxes, plaques and brooches and pendants made from duck, goose and even ostrich eggs. She explained how she first became interested in this art, and how her skill and knowledge developed. She also gave tips to the artistic ones present and demonstrated how the decorating was done. Even the male members of the audience were fascinated by the delicate work and amazing details in the items displayed. The chapter now looks for­ ward to an especially busy month of February with two evening programs planned. A special showing of Darlene Fiske's slides of Australia will be given to the public at the Opera House in Woodstock Feb. 9. On Feb. 23, at the next regular meeting, the guest speaker will be Bob Strohm, associate editor of National Wildlife magazine. Sprays Can Damage Eyes Lungs and heart aren't the only parts of the body vulnerable to aerosol sprays, according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. The miUions of tiny particles spewed in clouds from the plastic nozzles of aerosol spray c a n s d i s g o r g i n g f u r n i t u r e polish, hair lacquers, oven cleaner, and anti-perspirants can also affect the eyes, medical studies reveal. One report from Dr. Angus L. MacLean of Johns Hopkins university, who sees five or six patients a week with spray particles embedded in their corneas, identifies acid in disinfectant sprays as causing the most serious damage. Hair spray is another major culprit with the user becoming an innocent victim of damage to the eye from wayward particles while the main body of the jet is being directed to the hair. Besides hair sprays, damage to the eye can be caused by perfume sprays, deodorant sprays, paint sprays, nasal sprays, insecticides, garden sprays, and oven sprays, according to Dr. MacLean. Wearers of contact lenses notice the trouble most easily, he said, because the lens rubs over the particles and causes painful irritation. Most cases clear up, Dr. MacLean reports, but deeply embedded particles may cause permanent opacity in the cornea and interfere with vision. If you must use aerosol sprays, the Illinois society warns, do so with care and in moderation. Be aware of the hazards to your health, and avoid using sprays around children or other people. Some authorities have even advised covering your mouth, nose, and eyes with a towel when using hair sprays or underarm deodorants. m Offer good Friday and Saturday (Feb. 8 & 9) at any of these McNeils locations: îi( neils W' 315 Clay Street/Woodstock w^Rt. 47 & Country Club Road/Woodstock McHenry Market Place/McFlenry * * * * Unless you are paid to do so, never argue over gram­ mar.
