She spoke of the trip to Vietnam which awaits Judy next month as a highlight of her year's reign. Miss Ford has had one year of college in the South.

Mrs. Ford observed that Judy probably will miss the excite­ ment of the past year, but she will be anxious to resume nor­ mal activities with her own age group. NEW LITTLE MISS PEANUT TITLE HOLDER CROWNED (Continued from page 1) 4. She has a brother, Michael, 10 years old. Little Miss Peanut is a sec­ ond grader at St. John's school, Johnsburg.

Next Tuesday evening, at the site of her triumph this week, she will make her bid for the divisional title. The winner will continue into competition for the Illinois-Eastern Iowa crown.

Gift certificates were given to the first three winners.

(Continued from page 1) couples from each parish meet together once a month as a group to critically reviewA / particular film being show/i in the Mc Henry area. It was the hope of the group that if approximately twenty couples from the community would view the same film, as­ semble once a month to crit­ ically evaluate the film, and then write a review, an indica­ tion of the opinion of a good cross section of the people from the area would be given. It was then suggested that the news media serving the local area be contacted and asked to print the review of the film monthly. It was felt that this type of approach would stimulate community interest in good films and also help theatre managers better understand what type of films would be sup­ ported by the community. CONTACTS LET0 IN DISTRICT 15 (Continued from page 1) * proposal of $32,285 will be shared on the basis of 25 per cent to the contractor and sev­ enty-five per cent to the board of education.

Watts which appeared in the Public Pulse columns of the Plaindealer last week, Dr. Bergstrom, superintendent, commented that there is no ex­ tra charge for preliminary drawings or plans as submit­ ted by the architects for the new Junior high school. All such details, he added, are in­ cluded in the fee charged on a percentage basis on bids let. McHENRY SCOUTS IN IDAHO FOR BIG JAMBOREE (Continued from page 1) carry out the theme of the jam­ boree, "Building to Serve". Boys enjoying camp life from McHenry are Ken Betts, Jim Chesler, Neil Roberts, Bobtii Decker, Kerry Decker, Mike Troka, Sam Anderson, John Cu- nat, Craig Steiner, Greg Schmitt, Jim Cole, Brian Cu- nat and Bill Adams. \ The boys are enjoying a fun- packed week. They believe that if 6,247,000 boys belong to the Scouts, those who don't must be missing something really fine. sible annexations south of the proposed college site were con­ sidered too expensive and pos­ sibly too remote to cq|isider at this time. Further dis­ cussions !are planned to deter­ mine the plan to be followed. Participation of property own­ ers and a request for a fed­ eral grant are being considred to reduce the cost to the city. A letter from Brake Parts company commended the police department for correcting the traffic problem at Industrial drive and Illinois Route 120. ' An application to transfer the alcoholic beverage license from the Marsella brothers at the Green-Pearl cUnb location to Jewell A. and Emma B. Cope was approved. McHenry's new police car was delivered during the past week and approval was given to the payment of $2,050. to Buss Ford Sales. Approval was also given to payment of $924. to the Re­ cording Industries Music Per­ formance Trust Funds, com­ pleting payment for band con­ certs for the season. For the past two seasons, the council has had an agreement where­ by musicians are paid through this organization. This has proved advantageous to the city.
