It will be held in Crystal Lake. ft was voted for the society to become affiliated with the Illinois State Historical society, which is operating and sponsoring a congress of local historical groups. In. accepting their affiliation agreement the society is asked to hold three or four meetings a year. If, as in this case, the field is county-wide, it is suggested that district meetings be held ' and notices sent to members of the particular area. Programs can be built around more localized history and it is hoped members in the various communities will become interested in gathering material and reading papers at the meetings. Another requirement of the affiliation agreement is that the State Historical society becomes the trustee of any assets of the local groins in the event they ever dissolve for want of officers to carry on the local unit. The board has queried owners of property adjacent to the fairgrounds and the log cabin, in the hope that an acre or two might be available for a future museum, but to date no "donating" angel has been found, or even the possibility of purchasing a small piece of land. According to the by-laws, those who have not paid their dues, which were due last May 1, are being dropped from the membership list. Due to the increase in postage, printing and mimeographing, it is necessary to carry only paid-up members. Dues for current year will come due at the annual meeting. Donations of artifacts continue to come in every week and the big problem is to display them properly. Some of the larger items such as the interior of the old West McHenry postoffice, shelving from Stone's drug store, with counter showcases, the 110-year-old square rosewood piano, a 70 year old organ, marble top dresser, and other bulky items are in storage awaiting the proper setting. Volunteers are needed who are interested in tracing family records for the out-of-town requests received almost weekly. Most of these inquirers donate to the building fund inasmuch as the society does not ask a flat fee for time spent in looking up the county records. ment will be provided by Mrs. Frances Albright, a graphologist, who will discuss, "Inklings of Your Personality".
