DISCUSS PROS. CONS OF DEMIfiAinZATION County Ddegattt -rl : Question Discussion Leaders, Give Views J ^ It has Ion? been a known fact that ..'ft the public would be aroused to great interest, one need only mention the institution of something new and different. The proof of this statement came last week when a representative croup of citizens from throughout McHenry county met in the Woodstock high school auditorium to 'discuss the pros and" cons «f school reorganisation. As a matter of review, it may be recalled that a survey committee was appointed in 1945 to study the schools of the county and make recommendations for reorganisation. This committee filed their tentative report with the county superintendent of schools, Roland McCannon, a few weeks ago, recommending the ^pe 5 system, namely, a county --*- administration unit. In their McHENRT YOUTH ENJOYED MEETING FAMOUS GENERAL A memorable experience for any serviceman, it would seem, would be a meeting with General McArthur. With few from this community having realised this desire, T-5 Iferwyn M. Schmitt of McHenry was especially thrilled on Sunday, October 12, when he had the opportunity to see the general at close range and be introduced to him. Merwyn joined Uncle Sam's service on Sept. 23, 1946, at Fort Sheridan and within a week was sent to Fort Knox, Ky., from where he went to Camp Stoneman, Calif., on Dec. 9. He sailed from California on Dec, 16 for the JagaM&e( theatre of occupation, by way of Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. Sgt. Schmitt is now at Camp Ken Mona, Japan, about fifty miles south of Osaka, serving as a mechanic in the motor pool. During October he had the opportunity to do some traveling when his company went to Mt. Fuji and Tokyo. It was while in Tokyo that he met the famed general. Even though the war has long been over, Sgt. Schmitt recalled having spent three nights in fo.x holes in the rain and snow. The home town lad reports that he •iiwic •uminiBvmiioit uiuv* in wiuu iis gY ratefu«l * for receiving .t«h e Pl«a»i nreport, they listed twenty-fiVe rea- dealer and keeping up on the activi- WINTER'S REALLY HERE! DO YOU HAVE THAT XMA8 SPIRIT? Mothers in this community did more than their usual amount of rummaging in the attic this week, and it wasn't .fall house cleaning either. They were busy trying to locate enough red flannels for the entire family, to better fit them to withstand the wintry blasts which invaded this area on Friday. After a very windy weeMfcnd, when snow flurries did little more than scurry into the corners, Monday brought alternate rain and snow, with freezing making city streets and highways a bit hazardous. Tuesday morning's 10 degrees above on some fam thermometers convinced everyone that the "unusual".weather of this fall had bid us adieu, to be replaced by a variety which has put thoughts of Santa Clans and the holiday season uppermost In our minds.

Farm Adviser W. H. Tammeus, in a complete report, announced at the 4-H achievement program Friday night, Nov. 7, at the Woodstock Community high school, that 73.8 per cent of the agricultural 4-H members in tha county completed their work. A total of 243 members, an increase of 18.6 per cent over 1946, were enrolled this past year.

MAYORS UNDERTAKE PLAN FOR FOX DEVELOPMENT Does McHenry's growth call for zoning in the city? Is there a possibility of securing better train service here? Would parallel parking facilitate driving in McHenry? AU these and several more questions were asked and then discussed at the last meeting of the Business Men's association held last week in the. Legion hall. v The question of zoning was discussed quite thoroughly, and a recently appointed committee on their study of the situation to date. It was generally felt that with a steady growth which McHenry is enjoying, such an understanding as zoning becomes increasingly important. The old problem of providing better train service for this area also came up for serious discussion and members present seemed determined to continue their fight for this cause even though all past efforts on the part of local individuals have made little headway. In view of the bottleneck which exists on Green street because of the narrow bridge over the creek, members were urged to stir the public in favorable action at today's election concerning widening the bridge. The possible change to parallel parking in McHenry to make travel S. IVFW AUXILIARY SPONSORS HOME TALENT COMEDY Nov. 22*23 Set For "The Veterans' Foolish Whims" X The stage has been set (and this is literally speaking) for the pro* duction "The Veterans' Foolish Whims," which will be presented in the high school auditorium on Saturday and Sunday evenings, Nov. 23 and 23, at 8:15 o'clock, sponsored by the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary. The play, a hilarious musical comedy, is being directed by Miss Kathleen Henn. It has been m production for the past eight weeks and both the cast and sponsors feel that the many hours of preparation have resulted in a home talent play which will provide excellent entef* tainment for the public. The time of the play is the montll of June in the post-war period, and takes place in the court yard of the Good (Samaritan sanitarium near New York City. Those producing the play will say little at this e§rly date concerning the plot, for they want the entire production to provide surprises on the big night.
