At a meeting held Tuesday evening, it was decided that the new bridge will be dedicated on Sunday, June 18. Previous plans in the early discussion stages indicated that the first Sunday in June would see the dedication ceremonies in full swing. Com pletion of the bridge and conflicting dates were the main factors in setting the date later in the month. Action is being taken by the Johns . burg Community Club, under the leadership of its president, "Billy" Meyers, in promoting what promises to be one of the most widespread celebrations ever to occur in these parts. Now, anybody knows that funda must be available to defray inevitable expenses before any steps can be taken in forwarding a project of this magnitude. It's like this! Fred J. Smith and Joe Hettermann toured around the countryside, calling on a few people, and before they had time to count, there was $200.00 in the fund. Johnsburg business men, interested residents and owners of various resort centers were quick to respond with generous donations to the cause. Drive Must Go On! But -- the drive must go on! McHenry and other surrounding communities will be asked to add a bit more to the working fund. After all. several thousand people brought into our community will be a welcome sight. -- And a few of those several thousand may decide that our river and lake regions would be ideal places to visit regularly. „ Funds will be handled by Peter Smith, treasurer of the Community ; Club. If there happens to be a balance in the fund after all expenses are paid, the treasurer will pro rate the returns to each individual who has made a donation. Fair enough. Committees appointed on Tuesday evening are as follows: Publicity and Advertising: Earl R. Walsh, A. H. Severinghaus, Anton M. Schmitt. Finance: Fred J. Smith, Joe Hettermann, Peter Smith. Music: Joe J. Freund, John M. : Pitzen, Adam Bildner. Invitations: Math N. Schmitt, Joe Hettermann, John E. Nett. Traffic: John M. Pitzen. Building: George Hiller, A1 Roding, Henry Sompel. Program: Jos. Iwanic, Rev. A. J. Neidert, Anton M. Schmitt, Frank Nell, Earl Walsh. Walter Carey mm present ft* the meeting and was designated as a one man committee to secure an audible loud speaking system for the day. He reported that a very good system could \ be secured from a firm in Rockford that has the whole set-up mounted on a truck. This was recommended rath- j er than the smaller types used fori halls or small outdoor areas. | The publicity and advertising com-, mittee was also instructed to com-, municate with Ray Page, Commander ^ of the local American Legion Post, to ' ask assitance from the Legion on dec-] ""orations for the day. Meeting Date Changed The next meeting, at which time committees will report progress made, will be held next Wednesday evening, M*y 24" The regular social meeting of the club will be moved to May 29 instead of June 5 in order to avoid a conflict in dates with other activities in the use of the hall. It is expected that the program and invitations committees will work hand in hand in determining special invitations to various offcials from the state, county and township'ranks. The Community Club wishes to impress on the various organizations in the community that any co-operation given in advertising or helping this event along to a successful culmination will be appreciated. You (and that means you) will be welcome to attend the next meeting. This dedication is not being planned for just a handful of spectators. It is being planned for the multitudes -- and planned as an impressive ceremony that will linger long 111 «ur memories.

FORM NEW ADULT t QLUB AT THE M. E. COMMUNITY CHURCH A new group of young adults was formed at the Community Church on Sunday night. This group, which fills a long felt need, will include men and women above high school age, both married and single. > The organization will be known as the Fortnightly Forum and will pattern its discussions after a similar group in Evanston, 111. During the summer the meeting* will be once each month on the fir# Sunday evening. In the fall the sessions will be fortnightly# Aim of Forum The aim of the Forum will be to hold open discussions on interesting questions of the day, with local, national and international topics. The meetings will be at 6:30 p. m., and refreshments will be served first with discussions beginning at 7:30 and lasting until 9:30. There will be as little formal meeting as possible. The first meeting was well attended and a most interesting evening was spent listening to piano selections by Barry Taxman and a talk on France by Miss Taylor. Refreshments were served by Miss Sylvia Snyder and Miss Elsie Vycital. The remainder of the evening was spent in choosing a name, selecting subjects for discussion and electing chairmen to lead the organization. Officers Elected Mrs. Harold Owen is president of the group, Mr. Leonard McCracken, vice-president and program chairman, and Mrs. Lyle Bassett, secretary treasurer. There will also be two or more Forum leaders at each meeting. The Evanston Forum started with eight members and proved so interesting it was soon found necessary to divide into two groups both now numbering over forty. It is hoped that the McHenry Forum will prove that there is" similar interest here. All who wish are invited to attend the next meeting on June 4, the subject and discussion leaders wilt be announced later.

Low bidder on the improvement for construction o'f highway approaches and underpass }^as by the Charles E. Giertz and Son Company of Elgin. This f\rm entered a bid of $174,348. The low bidder for the reinforced concrete bridge was the Davidson and Doctor Company of Orland Park. Their bid was $24,998. Other expenses attached to the construction of this grade separation, including right of way. will bring the total to some $250,000. The intersection is listed as one of northern Illinois' most dangerous highway crossings. Numerous fatal accidents have taken place at this junction in the past few years. Heavy traffic at the "Y" has been noticed for a number of years. A vear ago the state re-routed Route 12 through Lake county to help relieve the traffic load at this point. It is exoected that the new separation will end this peril and help speed up traffic. It is hoped to have the improvement completed by late fall. The cotinty aided in this improvement by securing the right of way. The state is taking care of the rest of the expense in connection with a federal grant for this purpose.
