Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 26, 1929) • The goldfish hatcheries and gladiola farm owned by Mor­ gan Jensen of Chicago and lo­ cated on the Johnsburg road north of McHenry prom­ ises to become one of the most interesting scenic spots along the Fox River in the near future. At present six new gold fish ponds are being made and will soon be completed making twelve ponds already in use with another six to be made this fall or early next spring. In the six ponds already completed about 45,000 gold fish of all sizes are contained, averaging from six to eight thousand in each pond. Thirty thousand of these fish are ready to go on the market in a few weeks and will be shipped to markets all over the country. ejioiuuiiniiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiuiQiuii^ ^Kiwanis News | McHENRY CLUB As you are reading this col­ umn, the McHenry Kiwanians have finished selling peanuts throughout the city for the ben­ efit of crippled children.

For Your Information Dear friends, It is only natural that the process of ad­ justing to the loss of a loved one is called grief therapy. All relatives and friends are necessary at time of bereavement to aid the distraught survivors to accept and adjust to their loss. Patience and perseverance is re­ quired as the process of adjustment often re­ quires many months duration.

Elm St. McHenry Next to the National Store 385-7550 Benefits Of Proposed Regional Hospital Cited Training people to staff the hospitals in the county and en­ couraging more young people to consider health care car­ eers are among benefits cit­ izens of McHenry county could expect from a regional hospital, developed at a common site in conjunction with the junior col- leg, Anthony Corcoran saidthis past week. Corcoran is administrator of McHenry hospital and served as spokesman for the hospital associations of Woodstock j Crystal Lake and McHenry when he appeared before the McHenry County college board Sept. 2. Corcoran said one reason why a Tri-City hospital and the jun­ ior college should be on ad­ jacent sites is because the prox­ imity would help develop sig­ nificant training courses for a variety of health care car­ eers. Savings on development costs if shared by the two groups-- the hospitals and the junior col­ lege--would be vital in such ar­ eas as roadways, site develop­ ment, water and sewer facil­ ities and utilities. Doctors like the connection between the two groups because they prefer an academic sur­ rounding in which to practice. They can also teach, and they share the younger person's eag­ erness for learning and prac­ tical experience. Leaders of some of the hos­ pital groups feel it imperative the hospitals develop a train­ ing program for persons in ad­ dition to those usually associ­ ated with an in-service train­ ing program. ' New emerging partnership should bring about both a com­ munity hospital and a commun­ ity college. We recognize the urgency, however, for the junior college to arrive at a decision so it can start the machinery to bring about a favorable referendum and build for the fall of 1970." A study of trained health care personnel shows a grave shortage exists today. While the three hospitals in McHenry county today are adequately staffed, the trend is toward in­ creasing difficulty in finding and keeping qualified help. Chi­ cago City college and St. Luke's-Presbyterian hospital in Chicago are working to es­ tablish that hospital as a cen­ ter for training and education. Similarly, a regional hos­ pital here can become a com­ munity hospital that develops innovative training programs to produce a vast array of health personnel because of the close relationship between the people that need the employees and the people that have the educational structure to provide facilities and know-how. The hospital, additionally, has skilled per­ sons qualified to instruct. " Programs can be developed where medical students can be assigned to experience patient care approaches not always demonstrated in university cen­ ters," added Corcoran. "I can see where instruc­ tion can be pinpointed to the needs of practicing physicians at our initial 350-bed regional hospital. Training can combine learning how to care for patients with research on the delivery of patient care--the field is wide open to innovative, bold prog­ ress in the health care field." Through Corcoran, hospital associations centered in Wood­ stock, Crystal Lake and Mc­ Henry made a presentation to the McHenry County college on Sept. 2, proposing the two groups combine to develop a hospital-educational complex on adjoining sites. Proposed site is on the Crystal Lake- McHenry blacktop, and the hos­ pital groups say they have op­ tions on enough land--more than 300 acres--to serv^the long- Sec. 2, Pg. 2 - Plaindealer - Wed. Oct. 1, 1969 CLUB DONATES TELEVISION TO AREA COLLEGE William Holub, president of the Crystal Lake Kiwanis club, has announced the donation of $175 to McHenry County col­ lege for the purchase of a tel­ evision receiver. The board of directors of the club approved the recommendation made by Eddie Essex, chairman of the Special Projects committee, that the set be donated. College officials have stated that the set will be installed in a student lounge area for view­ ing of programs related to the curriculum and particularly for viewing college credit courses offered by educational tel­ evision stations. President Forest Etheredge stated that "the television set will benefit a great number of students and be of major value in our edu­ cational program. The college is greatly appreciative of this range needs of both hospital and college requirements. The McHenry County college board deferred action until its Sept. 25 meeting to conduct an investigation of the proposed sites. The board authorized test borings at various locations to speed action. action by the Crystal Lake Ki­ wanis club." Arrangements are being made by the college for a plaque stating the name of the donor organization to be at­ tached to the television set. The College participates in two agreements with other col­ leges to bring college courses to McHenry county by means of television. One agreement re­ sults in courses offered by Channel 13 from Rockford. The other agreement results in courses being broadcast from Chicago on Channel 11. Per­ sons interested in enrolling in such courses should consult the Office of Student Services.
