Read the Classifieds MARIAN STUDENTS GIVE OPINIONS ON C OF C MEETING The following were reports made by three Marian high school students who attended the recent . meeting of the retail merchants committee of the McHenry Chamber of Commerce: First Letter "The meeeting opened with a discussion of the Chirstmas promotion. Genevieve Hoelscher complained thaf'" the new street decorations were not bright enough. I thought that they were a great improvement over the washed-out toy soldiers that have been up for so many years. I liked the idea of lighting the holly in the decorations, but if no funds toward Dollar Days in McHencan be raised for this additional cost, these decorations are still' more colorful than last year's. "Next, the discussion turned ry. The second full weekend in February was decided, but a few people thought this date too late. Personally, I feel it is too late into the month, especially with Valentine's Day. "Then Bill Nye, chairman for the group, asked the Marian students if we had any suggestions. Some of us commented on how small a turn-out there was and Tim Collins suggested a couple of solutions for the merchants. The people asked us what would attract us and what they could do for us teenagers. I'll be gone next year, so I won't see any developments if there are any, but for the future I wish there were more stores in McHenry. I hardly ever buy any of my clothes in town because there is no variety. We only have about four dress shops and they're all pretty expensive. I know they have good clothes, but still we're only teen-agers and we don't have the mpney. I find most of my things at Randhurst or Waukegan. "Finally, Harry Dean asked each of us how much money we thought the merchant gets from a dollar. Most of us were off, not realizing it's only about four and one-half cents on the dollar. They tried to convince us that retailing is a tough business and I think they succeeded." Second Letter "I wasn't very excited about attending the retail merchants meeting on Jan. 4 but I really enjoyed myself. The public meeting I attended in September made us Marian students feel like outsiders. The merchants were very friendly and explained to us what was going on and even included us in some of the discussions. "The meeting was informal, no strict parliamentary procedure or elected officers. There were some heated discussions concerning the Christmas decorations. The card sent to the members stated that the decorations would' be discussed but even this did not bring out a crowd of merchants to the meeting. I personally liked the decorations. "There are rigid state laws in regard to state highways. We cannot string lights across intersections, hang banners or close the state roads for any length of time. The town's main roads are mostly state highways. "Dollar Days are scheduled for the first full weekend in February. Many of the merchants felt this was too late and they plan to remedy this situation next year. "The latter part of the meeting was an exchange of ideas between the students and businessmen. We talked about recreational improvement needed in McHenry. Heading the list are a swimming pool and YWCA and YMCA. A committee is working on starting a YMCA. The merchants asked us questions about shopping in McHenry and now they have a little insight as to how we teens feel about this subject." Third Letter "The first part of the meeting was spent discussing McHenry's Christmas decorations. Genevieve Hoelscher complained that they were too dark. Personally, I thought they were fine. Anything would be~an improvement over those tin soldiers. I can see her point about them being a bit diiri, but I don't think people necessarily shop where there are beautiful decorations and bright lights. They shop where they know they'll get good quality merchandise at reasonable prices. "Then Mr. Nye asked if we had any suggestions to increase attendance at meetings. I am secretary of St. Mary's CYO and if I knew, we'd have more than four or five people at our meetings too. I was really sort of shocked to see so few who were genuinely interested in our city. It is a real problem. "Dollar Days was another topic discussed. I don't see why they .are so close to Valentine's Day when none of the merchants want it that way. "For a time we discussed what we, as teen-agers, expected from the city and decided it would be hard to satisfy everyone."
