LAKE REGION HOLDS FINANCE REPORT MEETING The second report meeting of the Lake Region YMCA's 1969 finance campaign held on March 18 produced evidence of continuing progress of workers in securing the 1969 goal of $31,000. Workers reported a total of $14,780, or 48 percent of the goal has been pledged as a result of 400 calls to friends of the YMCA. A total of 1,300 calls remain to be completed. The efforts to raise the needed monies will continue until April 1. The Special Gifts division of the campaign accounted for $8,955, or 53 percent of their goal of $17,000. The General Solicitations division .reported $5,785 or 41 percent of their goal of $14,000.

The eight-tell award for the division wno has turried in the least amount of monies went to Wedge Thomas, chairman of the McHenry division. A hobby of many years is proving rewarding in the retirement years of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Grayson, who reside in the Griswold Lake area. It also provides pleasure for many others. Until April 15, the Graysons' doll collection will occupy a prominent place just to the right of the entrance to the McHenry Public library on Green street. It contains about thirty of the 100 dolls the Graysons have been collecting through the years. The hobby had its beginning when the couple operated an antique shop in Miywood. Some of the items they collected were dolls, and through their work they began to acquire a special interest in this field. Mr. Grayson learned to repair the very old dolls which they found while shopping in pursuit of their regular business. Mrs. Grayson developed an interest in attiring them appropriately to their period in history. One of the rare dolls in the collection is the china bonnet head pictured on this page. When found, the doll had a 1911 newspaper stuffed in her head. One of the oldest is a grandma doll, probably a hundred and twenty-five years old, which Mrs. Grayson says may have come west on a covered wagon. A very unique member of the collection is the wooden head doll which was found in a loft in England, of the type Queen Victoria, loved and dressed. The eye automatically turns to one particular section set aside for either bisque or c h i n a h e a d s , with s t u f f e d b o d i e s of c l o t h k i d or composition. All date back to the turn of the century. A very small doll with wooden body is extremely rare and was made about 1820. Young folks find the Marmee doll of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" fame especially interesting. Mrs. Grayson also has the "girls" from that story book but they are not included in the library display. A mammy doll from the year 1894 stands in • her original clothing, holding a white baby doll in her charge. The library, and the community fortunate enough to view the display, are indebted to the Graysons for the pleasure of sharing their interesting hobby. EASTER BUNNY^ COMES EARLY TO LOCAL AREA The Easter bunny will make his stop in Holiday Hills early this year. He has promised to leave a whole field full SX of colored eggs on Evergreen street this coming Saturday, March 29.

Historic Tree Bermuda's Calabash tree in Walsingham, Bailey's Bay, under which the Irish poet Thomas Moore sat and composed some of his odes, may still be seen. Poet Moore and Hester Louisa Tucker were neighbors in St. George's in 1804 -- and a notorious flirtation between them is thought to have inspired the odes. The street where they lived? "Old Maid's Lahe!" Audubon Members Will Tour Game-Fish Farm Sandhill cranes -- longnecked, long-legged gray birds standing about 37 inches high with bald red foreheads and tufted rears ( as ornithologist Roger Tory. Peterson describes them) -- are the lure which will draw members of McHenry county chapter of Illinois Audubon society to Jasper-Pulaski state game and fish farm in Indiana next Saturday, March 29. The cranes should be on their migration from Florida, other Gulf states and Cuba to southern Canada. A second breeding range is in Alaska in the area now threatened by the Rampart dam. However, even if the bird watchers are not fortunate enough to have chosen a date when these special frequenters of the game and fish farm can be seen there is sure to be other wildlife, including water birds, of great interest. The 8,000 acres of Jasper- Pulaski, 50 miles north of Lafayette, Ind., was acquired in 1930. Ages ago an inland sea, it was once part of the extensive Kankakee marsh, and 1,400 acres of it have been restored to lakes and marsh as a propagation area for waterfowl. There are also many acres especially attractive for quail and pheasants. Mrs. Barbara Gay of Wonder Lake, the club's program chairman, is chairman for Saturday's trip, while Mrs. Darlene Fiske of Woodstock, for years chapter president, will be the chief guide. Anyone who wishes to go may phone Mrs. Fiske, 1-338-0592, for information about driving or car pooling, since the trip will require about three hours each way. Those going will assemble at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at the junction of Rte. 31 and 72. This will be an extra trip for the month of March, the regular meeting having been a visit on March 8 to the Burpee Natural History museum in Rockford. This exceeded expectations, most of the members, familiar with the Field Museum in Chicago, questioning how a small museum could compare with it. They discovered that the exhibits are of high quality and so numerous they far exceed the display opportunities of the mansion, built in 1890, which now houses them. They include an exceptionally large collection of mounted birds ( a rare whooping crane among them), nests and eggs, strange insects and spiders, trilobites and cephalopods, reptiles and amphibians, beautiful ' groups of fluorite crystals mined in southern Illinois, gay Indian clothing and artifacts, fossils, the huge single leg bone of an 85 foot dinosaur, sea shells and marine life, the second largest American crocodile ever captured, a bison jaw bone taken from the Rock river and an Indian skeleton discovered near New Milford in 1959. Fifteen guests joined the Audubon members for this, trip, and to all, Mr. and Mrs. George Baker of Belvidere and Mrs. Mildred Zoellick of that city were grapious hosts, serving sweet rolls, coffee and punch to conclude the museum tour. The Bakers' celebration of their golden wedding day was another date of great interest to the Auduboners this month. Members of the bird club were among the 110 guests and reception aides at the open house given in their honor on March 2 by their son and three daughters in the First Baptist church of Belvidere. Over The Waves O c e a nologists place thousands of bottles in the sea each year to study currents. One bottle released in 1962 at Perth, Western Australia, was recovered almost five years latei near Miami, Florida. WE'RE ALL DONE • WE'RE ALL CLEAN There Is a littie new paint on me.
