A city having no hospital. Perhaps the word "hospital" causes you to think of an imposing building, seven or eight stories high, taking up a square block--a building staffed by scores of doctors and nurses and filled with patients. If you see a picture something like that when you think of the word "hospital" it's perfectly all right. You have a good idea of how a hospital should look. But if .you see a picture like that when you think of a hospital in connection with McHenry you're all wrong. McHenry, as it is now, could neither finance nor use a large hospital. Most of you will agree, however, that the building of a well equipped, 25-bed hospital would be the most intelligent thing that has been done in McHenry for a long time., So wake up, McHenry >-- there's work to be done! Visiting the. Clarence Petersons are the Peterson's son and daughterin- law, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson of Texas, and their two daughters. Last Saturday, Mrs. Martin Fenk, mother of Mrs. John Regner, visited at the Regner home. With Mrs. Fenk were ner two other daughters, Miss Lee Fenk and Mrs." Kay Gron- •wold. "Accidents can happen anywhere and anytime." I never gave thia statement much thought before. In fact, I never thought about it at all until Pat Nixon told me how she'd gotten the ping-pong-like bump just above her right ear. Pat was standing on the lake shore talking to a friend who was tossing rocks into the water--when one of the rocks bounced out of the lake and hit her on the side of the head. Of course, the stone must haw struck something just under the surface of the water and then bounced back. But if that isn't a freakish accident, write and tell «e about one that is. f puiLDiira LOTS .14 1 ' • ^ sL Sttitable for ft. I, or smmor homes. Guarantee Policy.
