tAGEj2, SECTION I - McHENRY PLAIN DEALER - MARCH 9, 1967 Musin' & Meanderin lued From Page 1) proud histories, while otters have enjoyed fewer years but their success has been evidenced by growing numbers of customers. If business owners would drop us a line, or give us a call stating the years their particular firms have been located in Mc- Henry, and the length of time present owners have served, the Plaindealer may be able to come up with a business history readers would find interesting. Spring reveals many lovely sights, and among the most welcome are the grass and early flowers which push their way up beneath mounds of snow. Other sights have been with , us all along, but take on an especially unappealing look in comparison with the beauty of the season. We are referring to almost every home and apartment which suddenly seems cluttered with souvenirs, books, magazines, trunks, bags, worn out phonographs, radios, TV sets, clocks, silverware, pots, pans and lamps that should have been discarded years ago. Closets, drawers and particularly basements and attics are filled with junk that probably should never have been saved in the first place.^ It takes a firm resolution of attack and the courage of a soldier to start the inevitable job of ridding the premises of items that will never be used again. Only occasionally do most of us feel we are up to the task, but what a satisfaction we experience when it is completed. The zero hour is approaching this year of 1967. Spring makes its entrance in less than two weeks. At least one McHenry resident feels strongly about the honesty of his fellow man-- or woman. He is Anton Reschke of 4915 W. Home avenue, McHenry, who dropped several bills from his pocket while shopping two weeks ago. There was no identification and Mr. Reschke had little reason to believe he would recover the money. However, the next time he entered the store he asked if it had been turned in. A clerk overheard the conversation and gave him the sixteen dollars he had lost, found either by a custorner or a store employee. One husband has found a way to make his wife drive more carefully. He tells her that if she has an accident the newspapers will print her age. The little lady has nothing to fear from the Plaindealer, unless she drives herself intothe cemetery. Otherwise the secret remains hers alone. Many long time residents of McHenry will be interested to learn that local travelers in Florida visited Carl Stenger, president of the local bank during the twenties. Miss Genevieve Knox, Mrs. Robert Knox and Mrs. Albert Foley called on Mr. Stenger in Pompano Beach and enjoyed a most pleasant visit recalling the per- : iod of forty years ago in McHenry. KJLF. KIWAN1S AIDES MENTAL HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM (Continued From Page 1) one-half miles beyond the city limits. As the limits extend through annexation, so also does the one and one-half mile project from that new point outward. The City Council has been discussing future annexation and is looking toward the area of Hunterville Park and the area east of the Fox River. It is felt by the city that one of its first goals is the acquisition of sufficient new equipment and manpower to handle the larger operation brought about by the recent annexation. Mayor Doherty commented concerning the new industry in the area. He further commented that, during the past year, twelve apartment buildings and fifty new homes have been built within the city limits. It is estimated that the current population of McHenry is 6,000 residents. A census is under way to determine the exact number. Kiwanian Vaughan Jofi&s expressed appreciation fen* the fine job of snow removal per - formed by the city. The Kiwanians commented that they felt it desirable to have the city officials appear before the club each year and give a progress report as it was both enlightening and helpful to the members. SEAL CAMPAIGN HOPES TO MEET $16,000 GOAL (Continued From Page 1) The organization is desirous that the contributors, through this campaign, use the Easter Seals on their letters in order to carry the message of the Easter Seal throughout the country. "The cost of administering these departments plus the costs of various equipment and other expenditures is not being met by campaign funds but it adds greatly to the total budget of $35,000peryear" said Gould. "Many organizations and individuals across the county" he commented, "also sale of fruit cakes, Christmas cards and memorials each year, as well as proceeds from the Gift shop at the Therapy center in ' Woodstock, should make up the deficit. So it is necessary that the 1967 goal be reached through the generous contributions of the people of McHenry county." The Therapy center is dedicated to helping the handicapped, and the importance of the Work of the physical therapist and executive director, Robert Steffi, is revealed in his annual report. This reveals that there were 2883 patient visits registered at the center; also a total of 8,- 800 prescribed physical therapy treatments. In addition, 1,- 700 speech lessons and examinations were given during the summer speech clinic. There were eighty-seven pieces of equipment loaned free of charge to people of the county and ten handicapped youngsters, who otherwise would hot have enjoyed summer fun, were given specialized swimming lessons. Hie Easter Seal society serves nineteen cities and villages in the county through its physical therapy and speech clinic programs. Steffi is assisted by Mrs. Eleanor Frakes, physical therapy assistant, at the center. Mrs. Vera Zell, office secretary, is the volunteer tag day chairman this year. GIFTS MADE TO CITY LIBRARY (Continued From Page 1) ing even a greater amount this year. I am reminded of a quote used by Winston Churchill in the early days of World War II when he said 'There will always be an England.' The McHenry Woman's club's help to the library for more than thirty years prompts me to say 'There will always be a library.' On behalf of the library board, I want to again thank you for your fine efforts." The success of this event is attributed to the efforts of a great committee headed by Mrs. Frank Steffek and her co-chairman, Mrs. Paul Jessup. Other committee chairmen include Mrs. William A. Givens, Mrs. Harry Eckland and Mrs. Joseph Flicek. Assisting on the various committees were Mrs. Richard Anderson, Mrs. Clyde Bailey, Mrs. Robert Blake, Mrs. Keith Foster, Mrs. Stewart Hoak, Mrs. George Jedlicka, Mrs. David Jones, Mrs. Alex Justen, Mrs. Gertrude Justen, Mrs. George Kleinhans, Mrs. Frank MacLaughlin, Mrs. H. H. Mass, Mrs. PatrickMoriarity, Mrs. Harold Padgitt, Mrs. Carl Rietesel, Mrs. Earle Seepe, Mrs. Laverne Spohr, Mrs. Elmer Stange, Mrs. Arthur Wilcox, Mrs. Harold Wildhagen and Mrs. A. J. Wirtz. PUBLIC HEARS PR06RESS0N NEW SCHOOL Construction Cost Increases Result In Some Changes Three meetings scheduled this past week have informed the public on the progress to date in the new high school for District 156. Information revealed changes which have taken place since October of 1965 When a referendum was approved for construction of the new building at a cost of$3,100,000. The most important fact is that cost increases, particularly in the way of construction, have brought the figure to near $4,000,000 if the desired building originally planned were to be built today. It had been thought, on advice from the architectural firm and considering the economic assets of the district, that land could be purchased and the building which was the choice of the board could be realized for $3,200,000. A major cost problem began developing last summer, and in November several major adjustments were made. MAJOR CHANGES Major changes included reducing the number of classrooms to thirty-five, leaving a half of the first floor unexcavated, reducing auditorium space from 600 to 450 and also cutting office and cafeteria space, as well as storage areas. It was at this time that the building enrollment was changed from freshmen-sophomore to junior-senior. v After bids were received,, more changes were made. In spite of the problem of rising construction costs, the board and administrators explained that the basic theme of the building has not been altered. It will contain a major gymnasium, a swimming pool, an auditorium and a sufficient number of classrooms surrounding the learning center library. Administrators foresee no need for a significant increase in the number of teachers, since most of them in the new school will be drawn from the staff of the present school. Most of the items now being deleted from the building are expected to be replaced when funds are available.

UNDERPRIVILEGED ENJOY CLASSES AT CAMP DUNCAN Camp Duncan at Volo is one of four camps in the Chicagoland area where 700 underprivileged boys and girls in twelfth grade spend from Monday to Friday each week, enjoying the many pleasures not otherwise afforded them. The other locations are Camp Hastings and Ravenswood East and West.
