Progress On The Move \ft S v Raised several feet above the ground prior to the gigantic task of removal is the large residence on Elm street occupied for many years by Mr. and Mrs. Nick Justen. The structure was sold by the McHenry State Bank to Theodore Miller, and was removed about, 5 o'clock Monday morning to a location on the Miller property, back of the fire house. Removal was made necessary because of the bank's recent decision to build an addition on the west of the present building. The land will now be levelled and then filled in before construction begins. worn I by Maggie t@w©well I Last time Old Grumpy-Puss Lovewell guessed at HOW MUCH WALLPAPER to get, we had to make 3 trips before we could match it right. So it doesn't happen to you, here's how to measure a room: Measure the length around 'the room, then multiply by the height from the ceiling to the baseboard. Now divide this total by 30 square feet to get number of rolls. Standard rolls have 36 square feet, so you will have the 6 extra square feet you need to match up patterns. For every two windows or doors of average size, you can deduct one roll. Have fun! QUICK THOUGHT: Don't open a silk umbrella to dry it. That will cause silk to stretch get stiff. Right way: Close umbrella, turn it upside down so water will drain off: As we gardeners know, A ROSE IS A ROSE is a Rose ONLY if it's cared for. Here are basic steps: Plant to get Vi day of sun, spaced about 12 inches. Plant about 18" deep; fill hole with 3" ofc gravel for drainage. Spread roots. Mix cup of fertilizer with bucket of peat to put into soil. Pack firmly, watering well at all times. After growth starts, spray once a week. Give roses food once again in July. Prune all roses in the spring. Sorry, girls, you can't improve your NYLON STOCKINGS by freezing or washing them in ice cold water. There's only one trick to getting as much wear out of them as possible: Wash in lukewarm water soon as you can after wearing. CLEANING BRASS is always a bugaboo, whether it's pots or decoration. But here's how I do it. If you wan a dull finish, apply a paste of rottenstone and linseedoil. The rottenstone polishes surface lightly. Wipe off with cloth moistened in linseed oil. For antique brass finishes, polish only with boiled linseed oil or lemon oil. Time Saver! MAKE POTATOES IN HALF TH ETIME by first slipping into boiling water. Then wrap in foil and put in pre-heated oven. Ready to eat in about 15 minutes! (Watch for Maggie ev^fy week!)

FORM MEDICAL ASSISTANT GROUP WITHIN COUNTY During the month of April, the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Medical Assistants' association was formed and approved by the American Medical association of McHenry county. The officers elected are Mrs. Patricia Manuel, president; Mrs. Joanne Houghton, vicepresident; Mrs. Evelyn Walter, secretary and Mrs. Dorothy Stoffel, treasurer. The medical advisors chosen by the A.M.A. for the McHenry county chapter are Dr. Stahlacker, Woodstock; Dr. Morow, Harvard; and Dr. Ruggero, Wonder Lake. s The organization meets on the third Tuesday of one month and the third Thursday of the following month, thereby giving an opportunity for every member to attend. At each monthly meeting there is a guest speaker. Again these are people who are con- j netted with the medical pro-1 fession so( that the meetings} aie more ' on an educational basis than social. Speakers for May 19 will be Mrs. Irma Rockstead, R.N., and Mrs. Pauline Pries, R.N., who serve as school nurses for McHenry. Their talks should be most interesting to the members, since those in the profession are in contact with them daily. This association is opened to any women from surrounding area who are in some way connected with the medical profession. The group at present consists of registered nurses, doctore' assistants, medical secretaries, laboratory technicians and receptionists. Anyone wishing to join and who meet the requirements may contact Joanne Houghton. MR. FARMER GO r More Best Offer Buys New IHC, Model 60, High Clearance, 3 - 16 in. Slat Bottom Plow. -- SEE AT E.

Woodstock -- 338-0137 MARIAN CLUB URGES WELFARE PARTICIPATION Participation in the welfare fund program of the Marian Fathers club is one of the many benefits members are entitled to, Henry J. Leiston, of* McHenry, chairman of the membership drive which begins this week, said on Monday. Leisten explained that fathers of children at Marian Central Catholic high school are eligible to join the busy group. Goal of the club is to support the scholastic and extra- curricular program of the county-wide high school in cooperation with the efforts of the superintendent and the school staff. "The protection offered each member by the welfare fund program is such a valuable part of the membership that no one should be without it," he continued. The fund was established by the Marian Fathers club so that the tuition of students whose fathers died while the children were attending school would be paid in full. Leisten noted that during the past year, the club helped three students who lost their fathers by paying their tuition for the year. Frank Kendrigan, one of the club's first members and a leader in developing the welfare program, gave the check to the Rev. J. Philip Reilly, Marian superintendent. Membership now stands at 250, and the goal is 100 per cent of potential members -- fathers with children at Marian, or about 375 men. Payments being collected now will be for the period through May 31, 1965. TRAINING PROGRAMS There were more than 27,000 persons on public aid in February who were'either employed, full or part time, enrolled in vocational training or eud'cational programs, or assigned to one of 450 work-relief programs in the state. Public Aid Director Harold O' Swank, in a report to Gov. Otto Kerner last week, said that the expansion of educational and training programs in the Downstate counties in recent months has added substantially to the number of persons who are being helped in their efforts to return to self-supporting status.
