"» ""'ft mh T FRI., MAR. 1, 1968- PLAINDEALER - PG. 3 ; Benefit Art Fair Plans In Progress McHenry area Junior high school students helped make the beginning of the new Teen club a success over the past two weeks. A total of 150 seventh and eighth graders came to the first meeting of the club held on Monday, Feb. 19. On Feb. 26, 111 seventh graders came to the second session. Because of the large numbers, a split was made into two evening sessions; Monday nights for grade seven students and Wednesdays for eighth graders. This schedule will be followed each week until the end of the school year. During a typical evening at the Teen Club, students can participate in volleyball, basketball. table tennis, dancing and gymnastic exercise. From time to time during the course of the year, special events will be offered by the club. All teen-agers in the seventh and eighth grades in the McHenry area are invited to participate in the Teen club. The only restriction placed upon participators is that they wear tennis shoes to meetings. Parents are asked to co-operate by seeing that their child does not arrive before 7 p.m. and leaves the school promptly at 9 p.m. Sponsors Miss Mary Felber, P.E. teacher at the Junior high school, and Gene Little, Community School director, are enthusiastic about the club and are extremely pleased at the response that students have shown for the club.

Never have I heard such complimentary remarks as these persons gave to the deserving young people who spent three weeks practicing with the McHenry high school band. All agreedthat there should be more of these sing-outs in the future to allow the students to project themselves. We say "Three Cheers" o the participating young people d we hope you have a repeat real soon.

A real milestone and momentous occasion in Illinois forestry was realized when William T. Lodge, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, presented the first Timber Buyer's License to A. C. "Bert" Foley of the Foley Lumber Co. of Paris. The Foley team of brothers, Albert C.and Philip O., together with the third generation sons, Philip S. and Thomas A., serves a diversified wood products field, mainly specialized woods for manual training classes spreading through-out two-thirds of the 50 United States and into other countries. Bert remembers his first experience as a timber buyer when only 12 years old. He paid $70 each for 14 trees about five miles south of Paris and made enough money to ge^ikhe bicycle he wanted so badly. Recently - passed legislation requires the annual licensing of Illinois timber buyers.

Second Class Postage Paid at McHenry, Illinois by McHENRY PUBLISHING COMPANY Larry E. Lund -- Publisher < \ MEWSPAPEir/ Adele Froehlich, Editor NATIONAL NEWSPAPER A! #c6Tl^ SUSTAINING MEMBER District 15 Gives Answers In an attempt to answer ques^ tions offered by members of the community about the bond issue that will be voted upon March 9, the district 15 school board offers these answers. 1. Will the McHenry schools receive state aid for the shared time students who attend public schools part time? Yes, the state provides *aid for those students who attend the public schools on a shared time basis. The public schools therefore, are not sacrificing financial support for full-time students in taking in shared time students. 2. What will happen to the old Junior high school building when the middle school is completed. The Junior high school will remain, for several years a Junior high school, providing education for seventh and eighth graders. Students who live in the general vicinity of the Junior high school will still attend school in that building and will not be bused to the new building west of town. The Junior high school will be remodeled eventually into a middle school, so as to complete the changeover to the middle school organization. 3. Is a new school really necessary? Why can't we just add on to one of the present buildings? The problem of rapid growth is such that the only way that we can economically provide enough classroom space to solve it is to build a new school. If we add on to the Junior high school, room for 300 more students only could be built at the present §ite, bringing its capacity up to 900. If we add at two elementary buildings, we ignore the immediate need for more space in the Junior high and make elementary schools have larger enrollments than can be handled adequately in one school. If we combine a building program at the Junior high and at an elementary school, we would be spending over half the cost of a new building, and would be providing enough space for only about two years; the space would be filled before it was completed. This leaves as the most logical remedy the construction of a new building; and that is the course that we are taking with the middle school. The middle school will give needed space for grades seven and eight, which have brought the Junior high school to capacity enrollment, and would relieve the elementary schools by taking fifth and sixth graders from them.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK OBSERVED HERE Gov. Otto Kerner has proclaimed March 3 to 9 as Illinois Vocational Education week. In his proclamation Gov. Kerner emphasizes that future progress and prosperity in Illinois are dependent upon the productive skills and efforts of its citizenry. He points out that vocational education programs in the schools of Illinois are very important in the necessary preparation of all age groups for c a r e e r s . He s t a t e s ' , u r g e our citizens to recognize the many contributions of vocational education to our state and encourage the growth of this segment of education in Dlinois." More than at any time, people are thinking about vocational education as a force capable ef solving social and economic problems, particularly those of unemployment. Rep, Roman Pucinski states, "America is faced with the strange dilemrvj of enjoying its seventh year of continuous prosperity and, at the same time, registering an alarminly high rate of unemployment among young people." A 1967 report by the Illinois Board of Vocational Education and Rehabilitation reveals that vocational training means lower unemployment. The national unemployment rate for youth 16-21 is 12.5 percent, while the unemployment rate for Illinois youth with vocational training is 2.4 percent. Ray Page, Superintendent of Public Instruction, in his report of the Illinois Crusade dropout survey recommends that curriculum? be improved to include training in vocational, business, and trade areas and that these curriculums be strengthened with a broad school-work program. The F.F.A. said this week that forty-nine percent of Americans would prefer to live in a small town or rural area.. Today some people are enjoying the fulfillment of this dream. A g r e a t i V t a j o r i t y of the Americans are forced to crowd into large cities to achieve their desired standard of living. This crowding into the city is cited as one of the prime cause of the recent unrest in the central areas. The McHenry County Conservation Service states that much land in so-called urban areas is vacant. In Cook county this unused land amounts to 50 percent of the total area. In McHenry county about 90 percent of the land has no buildings u-- pon it. In view of the preceding it should be clear that there is plenty of room left for farming now and into the future. One of the major problems to be faced in the county is how to make good use of open spaces. Farming is one of the best uses but rising property taxes and high labor costs could easily cramp the style of eventhebest farmers. iTD ARCHIE JOHNSON Archie Johnson, 75, of 3505 N.

Co-chairmen for this year's Art Fair are Barbara Tate, Karen Cemell, Bettina Johnson, and Mary Kendall. Mrs. Johnson of McHenry, who has been active on the Art Fair committee since its inception, stated that in the past twelve ~yearsf this event has done much to stimulate cultural interest throughout McHenry county, as well as creating a valuable therapeutic outlet for all would-be artists of the area, regardless of age.

The schools are presently being advised of the rules for registration eligibility of their students. Chairmen of many committees are still being sought but as soon as the list is complete and plans for the show are ready for publication they will be passed on to all artists and to all those people in the area who always have been willing to assist the Women's auxiliary in placing the plans into motion. Funds raised through the Art Fair are used annually to purchase equipment for McHenry hospital which is very important to the new concept of medical care instituted there several years ago. The next meeting of the Art Fair committee will be held the third Thursday in March in the hospital dining room.

In the words of the old song, "dese bones gwine to rise again." Last week we learned* via TV, that one eastern newspaper had taken two young boys to the banks of the Rappahanook River on the occasion of George Washington's birthday, gave them two Kennedy half dollars and asked them to see if they could emulate the feat cf throwing them across the 600-feet required. The boys managed something over 400 feet, which gave rise to a conclusion of the newscaster that young Washington must have had quite an arm. A friend of ours came» up with another conclusion -- that money just went a good deal farther in the old days. Nobody will dispute that conclusion!

COUNTY SHORT OF GOAL FOR PALSY FUND Mrs. John L. Boehm of McHenry campaign director for * United Cerebral Palsy associ- * ation, has announced that the ; $13,000 goal of the organiza- * tion has not been reached in McHenry county. < As of this date, only $10,- 817.58 has been received > through the various phases of the campaign. There are still ;; some funds to be turned in from > Woodstock and Harvard and -£ hopefully many of the 1093 peo- * pie who received mail solicita- * tions in the areas of Hebron * and Alderi and rural areas of ^ Marengo, Woodstock and Ha- * rvard, will still send in their ' contribution. t- The high goal was set in order * to have enough funds to eventu- ^ ally start a diagnostic clinic f and evaluation center in Northern Illinois, a facility which has been needed for some time. It is also ho>ped that the agency will be able to begin a mobile p h y s i c a l t h e r a p y s e r v i c e throughout the ten counties involved in the Blackhawk region of United Cerebral Palsy. The mobile unit will also provide a program of education to the - parents of cerebral palsied in- " fants and children - to teach them how to accept the situation and to explain fully the causes and effects of this crippling birth defect. Onepointthat many parents need to know is that cerebral palsy is not hereditary. .once this is firmly established it is much easier to carry on a helpful program of home therapy for the child involved. Donald H. Meyer of McHenry president of the regional agency stated "Since the educational . systems are gradually taking over many of the programs instituted by our organization, we hope to expand our services through cooperation with the other health agencies of the region, thereby eliminating unnecessary duplication of program". He continued, "This year alone, almost $75,000 of United Cerebral Palsy research monies are at work in the universities and hospitals of the state of Illinois, striving to eliminate some of the causes of this dread birth defect. . .your dollars are helping to continue the constant search." Mrs. Boehm said that over ;800 volunteers were involved in; raising the $10,817.58 and the United Cerebral Palsy associa-' tion is deeply grateful for their sincere efforts.
