Eight THE McHENBY PLAINDEALER t , Thursday, February 2,1956 Display Plans For Hospital Addition Showing of the perspective plans for Memprial Hospital for McHenry County's new building addition highlighted the annual llieeting of the Association recently. Horace Wagner, board meinber from Wonder Lake who is building committee chairman, displayed plans for the addition and announced a joint meeting with the medical staff building committee for Thursday night, Jan. 26. "We have noticed increased interest around the county in the hospital," William Tittle, board president noted. "The figures prepared by Mrs. Mary Wynant, acting administrator, reflected the increased use of the hospital. "In-patients increased from 2,171 to 2,410 during the last fiscal year, ending Sept. 30. The average daily number of patients rose from 35.8 to 39.4 and the patients' stay shortened somewhat, reflecting our crowded conditions. It shortened from 6.3 to 5.9 days." Percentage of. bed occupancy in 1950 was 73.5 per cent. In 1954 it was 87 per cent and last year it rose to 87.5 per cent. There were five board members re-elected, two new ones added, and one elected for one year to finish the' term of Aimer Aavang, who died in December. Benjamin T. Winn, Richmond, FINAL DRIVE FOR COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY BEGUN The Aero club of McHenry county met in the VFW hall in Woodstock on Wednesday, Feb. 1, to plan the final drive for a County Airport Authority. Members of the club have been circulating petitions for the past month. These, petitions request that .the questioij of an airport authority be submitted to the voters at the primary election in April. A number of civic and fraternal organizattofiS have been scheduled to segrilms--and hear talks by Aero club members to acquaint them With the details of the Airport Authority proposal. Members of groups already covered have indicated a great deal. of interest and it is. believed that support for the airport project is building up throughout the county. V The members of the Aero club were advised that all discussions with individuals or groups should stress the small cost of the airport to the taxpayers. Although the Airport authority has the power to levy a tax to cover the interest and retirement of long term bonds, it was pointed out that the actual yearly cost to. the individual taxpayer will be extremely nominal. Much of the cost of improvements to the airport will be borne by federal and state agencies. and recent changes in statutes permit the ROTARY NEWS At the meeting of the Rotary club Jan. 26, the president, Dr. William A. Nye, presented a replica of the Japanese surrender, which may be purchased by members. Guests were Mr. Pieroni, Math Hoffman and Ed. Leaf of Niles, who helpedT ihstall a park district there. The student guest, was Tom Thompson. Dr. Fike presented a program in the form of a debate on farm support prices for point- of reasoning only, by Bill Tammeus and Virgil Smith. was elected for the one-year j fecjeral government to repay up term. Mrs. Hubert Hardy, Wood-; to one-half of the original land stock, was the auxiliary nominee, j coat „ succeeding Mrs. Edith Kelly. STUDY CLASS TO DISCUSS GROUPING IN SCHOOLS FEB. 9 Orville T. Church, Crystal Lake, replaces Fred O'Connor, Woodstock. Re-elected were Donald J. Still and Russell Reimer, Woodstock; Arthur Gait, Jr., Ringwood; Charles J. Miller, McHenry; and Wayne Saggers, Crystal Lake. Bertram Hanson, new administrator, assuming his duties on Feb. 1, was introduced to the group and talked about the challenge ahead in the service Memorial hospital can offer the county. THREE ACCIDENTS OCCURRED MONDAY IN McHENRY AREA Three accidents of a minor nature were reported by state police in this area Monday evening. One occurred on the Pistakee Bay road, three miles west of Rt. 12. Major S. Nelson of Rt. 1, Ringwood, was driving west when he was sideswiped by an unidentified car. Major Nelson was treated for cuts and bruises in McHenry. Thomas Phalin of McHenry was involved in the second accident, which occurred at 8:45 p.m. at the junction of Rt. 120 and the Greenwood blacktop. Phalin was driving east on Rt. 120 when his car overturned on a curve. He was treated at Memorial hospital for cuts and bruises. The third accident happened at almost the same time, two miles east of Johnsburg. Melvin Laskowski, 18, of Ingleside was reported driving west on the blacktop when he lost control, the car rolling over and hitting a power pole. He and three passengers, all of the Fox Lake-Ingleside community, were treated at Memorial hospital. It was pointed out that an airport has several sources of income including rental from the operator, hangar rental and possibly from crops which may be raised on unused portions of the airport property. Such income can be used to retire the airport bonds and maintain the airport, thus reducing or eliminating taxes which might otherwise be necessary. Members of the club were requested to make a particular effort to reach the farmers or farmer groups in the county, in order to assure them that they have much to gain from the contemplated airport, and that" the tax cost to them will be extremely small. Agricultural activities are an important and growing part of the aviation picture, particularly in an area such as this, where agriculture teams with business to provide employment and income for the residents. A film, "Agricultural Aviation," was obtained from the state and has been shown tyo several groups. The details of the Airport Authority Act of the state were summarized at the " meeting so that members could answer questions which might be raised by voters. It was explained that the Airport Authority would be composed of five members, one to be appointed from, Woodstock and one from Crystal Lake, while the other three members would be appointed by the county judge. Parents are invited to meet with the parent education study group at their second session at 8 o'clock Thursday, Feb. 9, in the home economics room of the local high school. The subject, "Grouping in the School,"" is one of current importance as the schools themselves are now discussing it. Concerning the division of students in a class by apparent ability, it is a measure which vitally affects each child. Mrs. James D. Claybaugh, Joseph Dahlen and John Thomas will give presentations as to their views on which method should prevail and will lead the discussion following. Mrs. claybaugh,. a teacher known to many in this community, has definite views on the subject of grouping and Mr. Dahlen and Mr. Thomas have recently completed training cour ses stressing it. Parents interested in the teaching plan now in effect are invited to attend the meeting and express their viewpoint. Those most interested feel it is a fine way to gain a basis of understanding on . problems of the teachers to give the best possible advantages to each child.

She is Mrs. Elizabeth Schneifler of Court street, who last Friday, Jan. 28, observed her eighty-ninth birthday anniversary. - Mrs. Schneider extended the celebration longer than most people many years younger, testifying to her good health and zest for living. On Thursday, she entertained her son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Schneider, and Mrs. Fiances Thorne. Friday and Saturday were spent with friends and on Sunday she was guest of honor at a gathering at the Anton Schneider home which included Mrs. Thorne and Mrs. Eleanor Renard.

Positive evidence of this fact came in a letter from a summer resident who fell victim of a heart attack at 2 o'clock one night, received benefit of knowledge of new methods and treatment from a McHenry doctor and, to further prove her delight, she willed to be first contributor to the McHenry Heart Fund drive. Valentine Contest The Valentine contest is successfully going along and it is heartwarming to see the wealth' of talent the little city with the big heart has. 40 & 8 VOITURE The McHenry county 40 & 8, Voiture No. 578, announces the start of their annual magazine subscription sales campaign.

Last week we elected new officers: President, Joan Adams; vicepresident, Kathleen rfyatt; secretary, Vicky Diedrich; treasurer, Sandy Nellis, Flagbearers and color guards are Mary Lou Delmonte, Andrea Parks, Nancy Jurack and Betty Smith. Kathy Hyatt, scribe Troop 2 The meeting was opened by Kathy Prowl, our new president elected for the rest of the year. Other new officers are Kathy Murphy, vice-president; Joyce Eckstein, secretary; Karen Thompson,v treasurer. Kathy Murphy, scribe THE HOME SHOW By Marie Schaettgen The recent show of the NatSon- <al Association of Home Builders at the Conrad Hilton and Sherman hotels, and at the Coliseum, was a revelation in modern living. As a guest of this show, we were thrilled by the nfany beautiful and serviceable features in all phases of home building and decorating. The kitchen range with which most of us are familiar -- the one with an oven and four top units, was practically non-existent. Streamlining has certainly. come into its own in the kitchen. One would be hard-pressed to identify the stove. It has now become a built-in oven in a wall, with the burners or top units installed in a counter of stainless steel or tile, seldom adjacent to the oven. Refrigerators with freezer compartments make it possible for the house wife or the "househusband" (we saw many of them drooling over the beautiful displays) to bUy food once a week for a large family. Think of the time saved this way! A novelty faucet eliminates the hot and cold water taps entirely. It has just one control which may be set at any desired temperature. If you are interrupted you may set this control to maintain that temperature. Kitchen cabinets are not the utilitarian necessities of our mother's day. They, too, are streamlined, beautiful in color and form, and commodius. Lighting units are used to achieve a decorative goal, in the kitchen as well as in other rooms of the house." The bathroom -- ah, here is where we see the greatest departure from the well known little cubicle containing all the necessary appurtenances. The traditional medicine cabinet has disappeared into the limbo of the past. In its place we find a lavatory sunk into a beautiful counter of tile or plastic or some other modern material, with countless drawers for medicines and cosmetic supplies. The dressing table is a necessary part of this new order. Sometimes the decor is so elaborate that it seems a desecration to include the "facilities." Contrary to the predictions of twenty years ago, that windows would disappear with the advent of home air conditioning, the modern home is virtually a glass house, with wall-to-wall picture windows in every room, even the bathroom. Much of the contemporary furniture is designed for dual or multiple functions. A chair becames a bed, a buffet becomes a banquet table, a shelf becomes a counter and many other pieces of furniture are converted into something else by the magic wand of the modern designer. The expression "cherchez la femme" -- in this case meaning the woman who answered the ad reading "general housework" -- should be changed to "find the button." Push-button housekeeping is no longer a pipe dream of the indolent housewife. It is fast becoming an amazing reality. Beauty is not sacrificed in the home of today and tomorrow. Beauty of texture, beauty of color, beauty of design are all important fa.cets or the lovely jewels which make up the necklace of homes that adorn our • urban streets and suburban lanes. CLOSE ELECTION " Voters of the Alden-Hebron community consolidated school district 19 last Saturday approved a $410,000 school boncL issue by one vote, 233 to 237. The issue will finance an addition, repairs and remodeling for the hi&h school.
