Filing Date For Vacancies In Three Offices McCULLOM LAKE MAN WILL HEAD - VETERANS GROUP^ .-• Due to vacancies existing in •'the City Council of McHenry, a Special election will be held Fri- :.<day, April 28. This date has been chosen to allow as much time as ' possible and still make it possible for newly elected officers to qualify and start active participation at the start of the fiscal year, May 1. » The offices to be filled are that Hof city treasurer and two, aldertfien. The present treasurer, James B. Larkin, cannot finish his term William Creutz of ^IcCullom Lak& was elected commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at a meeting held last week. Other newly elected officers are Volney "Bud" Brown, senior vice-commander; Henry "Bud" Kraus, junior vice-commander; Henry Smith, quartermaster; Frank Kellner, Chaplain; M. L. Schoenholtz, judge advocate; and Robert kralowetz^ three-year trustee. Installation of the new officers will take place on pr about April 15. On this evening Joseph Jelley of Bensenville, the fifth district commander, will be present to act as installing officer. due to change of residence out side the city limits. The same condition exists in the third ward Where Albert S. Blake's term as alderman has been cut short due to change of residence to a location outside the corporate limits Of McHenry. Both . of these officials were elected a year ago," _April, 1949, for a four-year term 9*nd have performed their duties " in a most capable manner. Some time ago Alfred Tonyan resigned from the City Council because of business duties making it impossible for him to attend meetings regularly. Tonyan was elected alderman of the first ward in the spring of 1947 for a term of four years. Filing Date Near In accordance with statutes gov- ^erning the election, any and all "nominating petitions must be filed on or before Friday, March 24. The City Council wishes to stress (lie importance of immediate action on the part of aspirants to the of-- -'•--flees to be filled. Petition forms J»ay M^ecured ill the office of the city clerk, together with other information desired pertaining the special election. < The City Council at present is convening with four duly elected #aldermen, the number required to constitute a quorum. This is not Ma favorable condition since committees arc -not complete. It is also unfavorable since inability of any one alderman to attend a meeting would require postponement. It is to be understood that the successful candidates will be elected for the unexpired terms. Thus, - the alderman elected in ward one will serve approximately one year be-fore the next regular election. The new treasurer and alderman in ward three will serve approximately three years before the regular term expires. It is hoped that interest will be shown in this election and the im- . portance of placing the names of capable candidates on the ballots will be evidenced by the voters of McHenry. Clarence Anglese of McHenry was elected president of the McHenry County Education Association at the annual meeting held last Friday in the Woodstock Community high school. Others elected were George Millis of Crystal Lake, vice-president; Mrs. May Chesak of Huntley, second vice-president; Mrs. Marie Hill of Hebron, treasurer. Delegates to the IE A convention (northeastern division) at Aurora next fall will include Peter Roche of the local high school faculty and M. L. Schoenholtz, principal of the grade school, both of whom were selected during Friday's session. ^ --i^. Very much enjoy^B were^the guest speakers, Russell Lauten, member of the Chicago J.unior Chamber of Commerce, who discussed "The Freedom Forum." and Cleo Dawson, who spoke on "Let's Live and Like It." Appearing on the high school panel from this community were C. H. Duker, an administrator, who acted as chairman; and Mrs. Fred Svoboda, a parent. On the grade school panel was Mrs. Eleanor Foley, local teacher. The McHenry high school chorus furnished a half hour program during the afternoon. PLANS TAKE SHAPE 'FOR KIWANIS DINNER ^ HONORING ATHLETES The Kiwanis Club of McHenry Township, at their last meeting, set March 27 as their guest night and will have Frederick Barnes, assistant secretary of the Interna •tional Kiwanis, as their main speaker. This is a very important ineetingand the members are urg- -- fd to be present with at least one fuest. ijfci Dick Hester and Arnold Schaettgen reported that the plans for the annual high school athletic dinner are completed and it will .be held at the ty&h school cafeteria on April 20. They are waiting word from the Business Men's Association that they will make this a joint venture to fete the Junior Athletic club boys at the Bame time. At the previous meeting, the members were privileged to hear 6 the beautiful singing of Janet Grill and the piano playing of her mother. The membership is -now seriously thinking of sponsoring the young lady in competition with Marengo's protege. Miss Stafford. The rivalry between Marengo Kiwanis and the local Kiwanis is very friendly, howe-ver. The Ma rengo club is coming to present the traveling gavel to the McHenry Township Kiwanis club this coming Monday and as usual ^bringing with them their array of entertainment talent. Their visits to the local club provide evenings replete with fun and enjoyment. CLARENCE ANGLESE ELECTED PRESIDENT EDUCATIONAL GROUP NEW TERRITORY SEEKS TO JOIN SCHOOL DISTRICT Majority Of Voters ; Jtttist Approve For Plan's Acceptance Within the near future, McHenry residents yill decide whether or not they wish'a new territory to be added to the McHenry Community high school district. A committee of citizens from a strip of land east and southeast of the city is asking permission to do so aud it will be for the residents of the school district to make the decision. The territory is now a part of the Waucanda Township high school district; however, the boys and girls from that area attend and arp members of our grade school district and as a result desire to continue their education here. A committee from the territory appeared at the last meeting of the Business Men's Association and asked their help in consolidating their territory with our high school district. The general feeling of the business men present was that they should be permitted to unite with this district if they so desire. A committee was appointed'to assist them in meeting the legal requirements necessary to consolidate the territories. Since that time the committee has met with groups representing both the Woman's club and the McHenry Community P.T.A. Both groups heartily endorsed the idea. The territory in question has a present assessed valuation of approximately $1,500,000. There are seventeen pupils now attending our high school from the area but are paying tuition to do so. On the basis of grade school enrollment, it is likely that there will be, in 1958, forty students attending from that section. It is easily calculated that the territory will pay its own way. proving neither an asset nor a liability from a school standpoint. Area Loratton The territory takes in. tfce south end of Lily Lake from the Nunda line south, all of Griswold Lake, all of Burtcfn's Bridge lying east of the river and that portion <5f* Island Lake lying west of the Lake county line. It should be emphasized that if this territory is given permission to become a part of the local high school, the boundries of the high and grade schools will be the same* in this part of the high school district. In order for permission for this union to take place, petitions will need to be circulated in the present .xperted at t.he m.et-t.ing. S ato"iJUs Tr . uh"n?i oh n".

Girls' State Will Be^ Held June 20-28 Tms Year ers of the district and since there are at least 4,000, petitions will need to have nearly 2,500 signatures. Naturally, this is a tremendous task. Next' week another article will appear in the Plaindealer, calling residents' attention to the petitions. It is hoped that each citizen will decide, as the result of the above mentioned facts, whether or not he wishes to sign the petition, since this would greatly facilitate the huge task of those who must circulate them. Since the workers are all volunteers, it is important that the public assist them when possible. Next week's paper will also list several stations. The committee in charge would appreciate greatly if those in favor of the consolidation would stop at these stations and sign the petitions.

An $8,000 verdict was returned by a jury last week in the $15,000 damage suit of Mrs. Bernice Sitter of Antioch, administratrix of the estate of her husband, the late Rev. Loyal Van Sitler, against Leland Kortemeier of Woodstock. The jury deliberated five hours. The suit resulted from an accident June 14 of last year between Woodstock and McHenry. in which Rev. Sitler was killed. Mrs. Sitler charged that Mr. Kortemeier, traveling west, drove in such a manner that his car left the pavement and when it returned to the highway swerved into the Sitler's auto. Mr. Kortemeir contended that the Sitler cf^r came down an incline and around a curve and iu doing so went into the jwestbound traffic lane. ® EASTER SEALS ME SENT INTO COUNTY HOMES Area's Share Of,^/.v Last Year's ^ Amounted To $2,000 Residents of McHenry county this week received Easter Seals which were, mailed out under "the direction of the McHenry county Chapter of the Illinois Association for tlie Crippled. Frank Hendricks of Woodstock is president of the association. Sixty per cent of the amount received will be used in McHenry county and the remainder forwarded for use in the state program. Last year the county share from Easter Seal sales amounted to about $2,000. One of the most important programs approved by a cofinty organization, formed last fall, was the purchase of a movie projector to be used in the homes of the crippled and handicapped in the County. The projector will soon be made available and moving pictures will be Bhown upon the request of the physician. Carrying out of the program will be left to the Red Cross Gray Lady corps, members of which will transport films and projector to the homes when called upon. Began In 1907 The beginning of such an organization as the Association for the Crippled started as far back as 1907 in Ohio by Edgar Allen, who had lost a son following surgery. Realizing that inadequate hospital facilities and delay in obtaining surgery were responsible, he started a fund for a modern hospital <tnd later became interested in helping the crippled children in his native city of Elyria. A special hospital for crippled children resulted and was followed by the organization of an agency to provide additional services for them throughout the state. The movement spread and by 1921 seven states had organized Societies for Crippled Children sknilar to that begun in 1919 in 5nio! The group decided to federate in the National Society for Crippled Children ^ind Adults. The organization is now fiation-wide federation of more than 2,000 state and local member societies. They provide a variety of needed services in the fields of health, welfare, education, recreation, employment and rehabilitation for the physically handicapped. It is hoped that McHenry residents and those throughout the county will respond generously to the appeal to purchase Easter Seals.

Cyrus is an example of monumental patience and good-nature. In the midst of the continual bickerings of his wife and elder daughters, his temper remains unruffled. He is one of those men who desire peace and willingness to do good to others has been mistaken for weakness by all except his loving little* daughter, Elaine: If the object of a play is to teach a lesson as well as to entertain, here is a lesson iu patience apd kindness that stands out like a beacon, and it is no more than fair that such a noble character should be rewarded by happiness in the end.
