The meeting will begin at 7:39 p.m. Election of officers will take place. Lowell Nye, editor of the Sesquicentennial edition of the McHenry County History, will give incidents pertaining to the history of the county. For locil history buffs, Fred W. Colby, Crystal Lake, will read apaper entitled "Carriages to Cars in Nunda". Mr. Colby can speak with authority as his family has been in the business from the very start. Gus»Persson, Woodstock, has a collection of ove r 300 films that he is having fresh prints made from but can't identify. As soon as these are identified they are replaced with other "unknowns". Quite a few of the locations have been identified but the names of the people are more difficult as many have passed away. When the collection has been identified as far as possible, Mr. Persson is donating the collection to the Historical society. This will be quite an addition to its collection. Possibly other communities could pick up this idea and get old time pictures identified. TTie seventy-eight persons who were present at the Lake Region ^TMCA's 1968 finance campaign thank-you dinner at the Timbers restaurant in Woodstock, were treated to the rare combination of an excellent dinner, superb entertainment, and a thought-provoking speaker. What fine elements to make the event an affair to remember. The purpose of the dinner was to gather the force of finance workers together for an enjoyable evening, thanking them for their efforts in the essential job of raising $29,000 neededto balance the 1968 budget. The evening's program began with the invocation by the Rev. David Taylor, pastor of the Crystal Lake Christian church and was followed by a chicken dinner. Master of ceremonies for the evening was Vernon Cummings, who introduced the evening's headline entertainment, Mrs. Peg Denker, accompanied by Mrs. Doris Ihdeatthe piano, who presented an historical review in song and style of tunes from Broadway reviews of 1900 to the present that have charmed the hearts of millions Young Adults Of YMCA Plan Novel Program Something different is being planned for the April 11 moetini of the Young Adults group of the Lake Region YMCA.

Additional information on participation in the Young Adults group and future activity' plans is available by contacting Jim Zoellick, Lake Region YMCA executive director, days or Miss Kathy Battles, evenings. A lot of people seem to think a lot of noise is necessary to back up an un-sound argument. over the year. Mrs. Denker received a warm response for her delightful presentation of American musical comedy in review and at the conclusion YMCA president Louis Schairer, presented Mrs. Denker and Mrs. Hide with certificates of appreciation. The evening's business was devoted to an up-to-date report on the finance campaign. Jack Renskers, Special Gifts chairman, reported that the Special Gifts division has collected $11,245, or 75 percent of their goal of $15,000. Dr. Alfred Selling, General Solicitations chairman, reported $6,483s50, or 46 percent of its $14,000 goal for a combined total of $17,366.50 or 59 percent of the total goal of $29,000. It is evident- that, with six-tenths of the job completed, the 1968 finance campaign needs to continue. The evening's main speaker was Ralph Woods, executive director of the Elgin YMCA. Mr. Woods encouraged workers to proceed with getting the job done. "It's still undone," he said. "The 'Y* exists to serve all the youth and your help, and that of friends, is essential to create the atmosphere to extend the meaning of the 'Y* to all areas of community life." Mr. Woods related incidents during his years of "Y" service where individual encounters of all types with youth and adults have been responsible for great changes in the outcome of personal lives. He talked of his experiences with social problems where the influence of the "Y" has helped turn the tide of community action for the better. Mr. Woods continued, "What the YMGA does on a day-to -day basis is to provide youth with a place to experiment with life, and the YMCA with its trained stiif and facilities provides the best place for youth and families to do their experimenting. The YMCA is a change agent in, a rapidly developing and confusing world, and its programs provide an introduction to the largest opportunity in the world With the continuing help of every worker and an affirmative response from the residents of the service area, the money OFFICIAL ENTRY FOR Mi S3 McHENRY CONTEST Name Address Age -Birth date- Parents' Names Phone Number School Status I consent to my daughter's participation in McHenry, 1968 contest. the Miss SIGNED by either mother or father Photo must accompany entry. : Women's Club federation To I Meet April 10 The McHenry County Federation of Women's clubs will hold its annual spring meeting and luncheon Wednesday, April 10, at Orsolini's in Richmond.
