McHENRY INCLUDED IN NEWLY FORMED GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL Since it is the long range policy of the National Girl Scout organization to offer Girl Scouting to all girls in the United States only through chartered councils that are strong and effective enough to-provide a- program of quality, the Adult Girl Scout members of McHenry have been busy attending study group meetings to become better informed. Mrs. Helen Miller, Mrs. Ralph Smith and Mrs. Claire Engh have been local delegates to these meetings, which have been held in Elgin, Aurora and St. Charles. After many months of study, the boundaries of the council have been established. They will include all of McHenry county, north Kane county, Lake Zurich and Wauconda in Lake county. Throughout a council, the real program takes place within the troops and at camp, Local leaders will continue to be responsible for helping the girls plan and carry out the kind . of ""program they want and need. By belonging to a council, leaders will receive more help through training, consultation, resources and new ideas. Within this community, plans are made for"" inter-troop community-wide events that will strengthen and enrich the program in the troops. More meetings are scheduled for the future, to be attended by the local delegates. Leaders hope the people of McHenry will coninue to aid in the new endeavor as they have in the past.

The board^ of directors has authorized the purchase of Grace hall for $20,000, the Rev. Eugene Maxwell, superintendent, announced this week. The purchase was made from Woodstock business men who acquired part of the Todd School for Boys property at its disposal. The large building will be used for 'teen-age children, but increased costs of operation will make it impossible to place it in use before the summer of 1957, Rev. Maxwell said. "With the addition of this building, we will increase immeasurably our,. service to children, but it is going to cost an additional $15,000 per year in charitable income to operate it. "We expect an additionid $5,000 per year from the Free Methodist church, making it necessary for us to obtain $10,000 more in charitable contributions in the area we expect to serve. This includes adjacent counties in Illinois."* Grace hall, located across Mansfield street from the present Children's home, property on Seminary avenue, has five double rooms for girls and five double rooms for boys in segregated units. It has adequate living, dinmm HtlP, CALL McHENRY 713 and <^aj2i(iuLjton Water Systems We Repair and Sftrvic* All Malta* of Pump« Authorized: Red Jacket Cr D«»ton Pump Agency Wells Drilled or Driven 1 Pumps & Repairs MCHENRY COUNTY WELL a PUMP COMPANY Fred H.
