Arrangements for the good saint's visit have been made through the Business Men's association. In addition to making a list of the desires of the youngsters. Santa wfll distribute candy and fruit. Paper Drive -.McHenry residents continue to ^cooperate with the weekly paper drives being conducted by the association. Members of the latter group wish to state again that their, drives will in no way interfere with" the Scout campaigns held at various times throughout the year. The association has even gone so far a^ to offer their trucks to the Scouts on these occasions. The that the public has become more conscious of the continuing drive for paper through weekly collections should result in even greater support for the Scoots than realized in the past. Teen Canteen Mlans for the start of the 'teen canteen came nearer realization last Tuesday morning when 'members of the Business Men's ^association met with the high School Student Council to discuss details. I Prior to this week's meeting, Council members bad obtained the views of the student body at diss get-togethers called for the purpose of determining the desires of the greatest number. Out of the general discussion, several conclusions were clear: One, that the young folks were desirous of jgL variety in entertainment; two, ^that they would like two meetings a week if such arrangements could be made; and third, that they would like to meet, if possible, in a place which would provide them with room to accommodate ping pong tables and other equipment for those who do not care to dance* Ernest U6eman, of McHenry, a director for the Chicago Park district,; was present to outline activities , carried on in his program and get the reaction of McHenry's « young folks to such a program here, Mr. Usemao, who has a son • in the local high school, has been ' interested in all activities of this kind; locally for the past two * years and has devoted a great deal of time and valuable experience to furthering recreation of this type for the 'teen-agers. • *" Representatives of the Business Men's association will now work . out | plans for the canteen's opening, including a meeting place. . Heretofore, through the cooperation of the Legion, the canteen has been held in the Legion Home, but witb more students taking part, conditions are sometimes croWded. There is a possibility thai this year the meeting place , may be changed from week to P week. Because of basketball games on Tuesday nights during the winter » this is no longer considered the best night by the young folks themselves. A suggestion was made that since McHenry does not at present have a theatre, the question of what to do over the weekend has become a problem which the 'teen-age canteen may l^be able to solve. Several interest- *'ed townspeople have indicated * that they would gladly devote , time to such a worthwhile project SHORT ILLNESS PROVED FATAL T0S.W. Two Others Well Known Here Died During Past Week v FORCED LANDING :..«v_L__A plane piloted by Carlos Juna Arrowys of Chicago was said to have made a forced landing in the • rear of the 'Ivar Fredricksen yard at Wonder Lake late Sunday afternoon when the plane ran out of Ogas and the pilot became lost. , . Samuel William Brown, better known to his host of local friends as "S. W." Brown, (f ed in Hinsdale sanitarium just before midnight Saturday, Dec. 1, following a short illness. He had been residing with a son, Leonard Brown, in Clarendon Hills for the past six months. Mr. Brown was Ringwood'a veteran business man and postmaster for almost a half century, during which time he became acquainted with most of the residents of this area. He received his commission with the United States Post Office department on Nov. 21. 1904, and at the time of his retirement in .fuly of 1950 was the oldest postmaster in years of service in this county. In fact, after considera b l e c h e c k i n g t h r o u g h o u t t h e state, no one with a comparable service period has been found. In the same building which housed the post office, Mr. Brown operated a drug store which served a large surrounding territory. His combined duties of postmaster and pharmacist were handled with efficiency through the years, during which time he was able to care for the needs of a large number of people. From the day he took office, which was the same day that President Theodore Roosevelt became president of the country, he watched with interest as the community grew. His own post office had only sixty-five boxholders in 1904, with no rural delivery, a service which grew to include eighty-five boxholders and 675 rural patrons forty-six years later. The deceased was born at Tryon's Corners, Hebron township, and received his education in the Ringwood school and at Elgin Academy. He also attended Northwestern School of Pharmacy in Chicago. He was a member of the McHenry Masonic lodge and of the chapter and commandery in Woodstock. Survivors include the one son and a niece, Mrs. Mary Butler, of Ringwood. Funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the Ringwood Methodist church, with Rev. Darrei Sample officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery. Mary Altlioff , Miss Mary Althoff, a native of Jobnsburg, died at her home last Monday afternoon, Dec. 3, about 5 o'clock. Funeral services will be held on her sixty-ninth birthday anniversary. She was born Dec. 6, 1882. a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Althoff, and lived her entire lifetime there with the exception of a short time spent in Elgin, when she was an employee of the Elgin Watch company. Survivors include five sisters and three brothers, Barbara Catherine and Bernard at home; Mrs. Elizabeth Tonyan ofuPistakee Bay; Mrs. Rose Sattem of Woodstock, Mrs. Gertrude wagner of Volo and Louis and William of McHenry. The body rests at the George Justen and Son funeral home until 9:30 o'clock this (Thursday) morning, when last rites are being conducted from St John's church, followed by burial in the church cemetery. Hattie X. Dalton Mrs. Hattie Mead -Daltoit, Who made her home in McHenry in ber youth, died Saturday in Glendale, Calif., in the home of a daughter. An invalid for many years, she went to California with her husband four years ago. The deceased was born in the Ringwood community in 1870, the daughter of LozettaQand Henry Clay Mead. Until her marriage to Henry L. Dalton in November of 1891, she resided in McHenry. Surviving are a son and daughter, Loyal Dalton of Detroit, Mich., and Garnet Dalton Kryder of Escaped Injury In Plane Crash * John Mackinder of McHenry narrowly escaped injury, except for minor cuts, last Sunday afternoon when the plane wl^ch he was driving crashed into a high tension wire south of McHenry, just west Of the Fox river. The accident occurred about 1 o'clock as Mr. Mackinder was returning from Arlington Heights. He is said to hold a student pilot's license. Witnesses said that the plane appeared to be in trouble and losing altitude just prior to the crash. Although stunned by the impact, Mr. Mackinder was able to leave the plane unaided, appi/ently none the worse for his experience. The Macklnders reside in an apartment at 138 Riverside Drive, McHenry. Mr. Mackinder is employed as a plumber by Paul Gerasch and Mrs. Mackinder is part owner of "The Little Chef." All electric power in the McHenry community was shut off for about forty minutes following the crash. Soon after service liad been restored, a fire started in the Overton Buick garage on Front street, caused indirectly by Uie accident. Oil kept feeding into the burner at the garage during the time the power was off and when the electricity came on an explosion occurred. Fortunately, an employee was in the garage at the time and immediately summoned the fire department, members of which prevented the flames from spreading. An estimated |400 in damage was reported.

If individuals find they are continuously meeting small financial problems these days, it is easy to understand bow businesses and large organizations must seek answers to even greater ones. In this regard, the high school board of education at last week's meeting discussed the school's financial condition and decided to inform the public of the present status. Several years ago the community voted a .51 percent top limit on the educational tax rate for the high school, a rate which is now found to be inadequate to produce sufficient revenue to run the school. The board finds that while the .51 per cent rate was ample at the time it was voted upon, conditions in the intervening years have entirely changed the situation. The school has been running in the red for the past several years and this year the board was compelled to borrow t?4,447 for educatlonal purposes. Based on pre<- sent and foreseen expenditures, the deficit for this year will be $36,000. In order to maintain present standards, which includes keeping a salary schedule in line with schools of equal size, a higher rate would need to be instituted. At present, the local schedule is lower than in several neighboring schools Also, the school is two teachers short of a complete staff. Contributing factors to increased operating dost include doubling of ! the the size of the building at the i 156 "Dear Santa Claus: "Would you please bring me a real ukulele. And a instructor book.

At present he is doing research work toward his doctorate at the University of Chicago. Mr. Loehrich is a psychologist who started his studies at the age of 17 under the late and eminent Alfred Adler. He was born in Berlin and studied in Hamburg and Freiburg until the rise to power of Hitler, when he left the country, only to be brought back by the Gestapo. Subsequently/ he fled to Barcelona, where he lectured and intensified his studies under another famous psychologist, Professor Werner Wolff. Xl-' so during this period, Mr. Loehrich was given a research fellowship by the minister of education of France, which required him to work in Paris. Residing with him in McHenry are his wife, Eleanor, whom he met and married after arriving in Canada, and their 2-year-old daughter. Suzanne. Mr. Loehrich has graciously consented to speak to this community on the subject of child psychology at the Jan. 24 meeting of the P. T. A. in connection with the parent-education program. There will be more details concernfng this program after the new year. water and janitor service among when the Butler act went into effect in order that the school would not be restricted by this act.

This has created a problem which cannot be solved without action being taken to raise the rate. * It has been estimated that If an increased le$y of $15,000 should be approved, the average home owner would find his taxes increased $2.50 this year. Only favorable action of the public at an election could change the rate. * Through the years, the McHenry high school has maintained a fine teaching staff and, in general, school conditions which have received the commendation and annual accrediting of the North Central association and the "CHERYL ADAMS "lit 1, Crystal Lake, HL" "Dear Santa: "Please remember me again this year.

One of the two is an adult, Mrs. Evelyn Benkstein, 22, mother of three children, who was stricken last Friday. Mrs. Benkstein complained of stiffness in her legs a few days previous and on Friday, when her condition became worse, she was taken to the {Woodstock hospital, where a spinal test confirmed the suspicion of polio. The Benkstein family resides on what is known as the Gracy farm, just off Rt 31, near Terra Cotta. Just a few days prior to Mrs. Benkstein becoming ill, 13-monthold Phillip Ronald Johnson of Wonder Lake was stricken with the disease. Both were taken to Winnebago county hospital at Rockford. The two new local cases should provide impetus for the March of Dimes drive which witt be conducted tn January. ______ MA I t INK R E C i r i T l N G A Harine recruiter will be at the McHenry post office every Friday at 9:30 a.m. or at the City Hall in Woodstock from 8 to 4:30 on Tuesday.
