William G. Baker presented the document which represented the efforts of the Long Range Planning committee, which he has chairmaned. As spokesman for the committee, Mr. Bake^ pointed out the necessity for making plans now for the future. He presented a six-phase plan for future development. He states that before a building program can be embarked upon, it will be necessary to embrace more towns and more people in the activities of the YMCA. Thus it will be essential to take the program route of expansion as the individual programs of the Lake Region YMCA are expanded in all the towns that the "Y" serves until because of their sheer proportions it becomes necessary to launch a Capital Campaign for a building. The coming year will find efforts made to form nucleuses of people to act as local Advancement com mitt ees first in Woodstock, then in McHenry, followed by Cary- Grove.

SCHOOLS GIVE XMFORMATION CLOSING This past weekend there were an unusually large number of telephone calls from interested people asking whether or not school was to be closed.

The only exception would be those times when a school day would be shortened. Therefore, any telephone calls made during the late afternoon or evening hours will be fruitless. It is requested that telephone lines be kept clear and that no one call to ask if school will be held.

The tuberculin skin testing clinics were set up by Mrs. Claribel H. Naylor, R.N., of the McHenry County Tuberculosis association in cooperation with Mrs. Geneva Bode, R.N., school nurse, and the administrators of the Cary Grove school. Because a student at the Cary Grove high school was found to be suffering from tuberculosis and confined in a sanatorium, this procedure was indicated to find the students who would react to the skin test. The positive reaction indicates that the tuberculosis germ has entered the body. It does not indicate that the person is suffering from tuberculosis. Only a followup x-ray will determine the damage done to the lung, if any. Each year the children of first, fifth and ninth grades are offered the skin test, as well as student food handlers of all the schools in the county. 'Unfortunately, said Mrs. Baylor, only about seventyfive percent of the parents of the students take advantage of the offer of the skin test." The goal of the Tuberculosis association is to have children grow up in a community free from tuberculosis. Is This Your Home?
