McHenry is one of 38 communities in the Blackhawk Area Council covering the counties of Boone, McHenry, Ogle, IiM. Whiteside and Winnebago, which contributes to the Council budget annuity making possible the extension of the Scout program throughout the area. Ia explaining a break-down of the Council's budget Owen said that 19 per cent goes toward the Scout campaign program; 18 per cent toward 8cout activities and 26 per cent for field scrvice to the Scout Troops and Cub Packs and their leaders. 18 per cent is spent for iceruiting and training volunteer leaders, 17 per cent for general admini •(ration and 2 per cent for national Mrvice.

Elmer Freund, president of the board accompanied by three members, Gus Freund, Howard Collins and Dr H. 8. Fike, traveled over much of Lake county to visit the schools. |5S They visited the new buildings at Wau-j5 conda, Indian Hill, Palatine, Poplar j33S Grove and Winnetka. The board was impressed by some of the following facts: All buildings were one story buildings, more or less of the ranch type. It appears that all modern lower grade buildings use this type of building. Where ground was available, each, included at least ten acres. Most of these building* were either erected in the past year or were in process of erection when visited and the grounds were unimproved but the fact remained that ten acres seemed a minimum amount of ground for grade school purposes. Also, it seemed rather the universal idea that each room be given a direct out door exit. This exit was toward the playground. It tended to make each room a separate unit and kept hall disturbances to a minimum. The amount of glass exposure in each room was very large. The Greenwood school in Wgukegan has one outside vail entirely of glass. They had used Thermopane. It made a wonderful job but appeared too expensive for ordinary school purposes. However, all schools had one-lateral lighting, that is lighting from one side and all schools had an abundance of windows. All lower grades had lavatory and dressing facilities within the grade itself. The locker system, where lockers were formerly recessed in the hall walls, has apparently given way to some type of cloak facilities within the room itself. The lavatory and toilet facilities were arranged much as they are in the kindergarten room taught by Mrs. Cooley. While there were a great many more features w'aich interested the board, possibly the above list will indicate the trend in grade school buildings to the readers* The plans made by the loe^l board are in ao way definite but they have reached a stage so that they can -W described. A ^minimum of tea elassrooms must be provided. The classrooms will take on as many of the characteristics noted in the modern schools visited last week as possible. 8ome type of combination recreation and lunch room must be included. Just what form this will take has not been decided. However, play space for the lower grades is essential. All schools are now required by the state law to furnish daily play periods for every child attending schooU The fcoard has not decided on plans for kindergarten. They will adjust Plans BEST BREFELD6 WED FIFTY TEARS AGO MONDAY, NOV. 22 Our congratulations to ku time residents of McHenry, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Brefeld, who this week celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home on Waahiagton and Green streets. Fifty years ago, on Nov. 22, 1898, Margaret Wirfs and Ben Brefeld were; married by Rev. Fr. Kirsch in St.? S J Mary's church, McHenry. Last Sundays I in the same church, a high mass was' read in their honor, followed by a family dinner at 6 p. m. at the Brefeld home, with their children and grandchildren present. The home was tastefully deeorated for the occasion and many feards and gifts were received as well as a number of calls by old friends and neighbors. An open house was not planned because of the poor health of Mrs. Brefeld in recent months. Among the lovely gifts bestowed on the couple was a television set. Present to enjoy the day were the John Brefeld family and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Ronan of Waukegan; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brefeld and family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Malcor and family, the Harry Carpenter family and Miss Mary Brefeld of Chicago and the Paul Brefeld, Joseph Brefeld and ~ Brda families of McHenrr. There are many of our holidays wtyohj are celebrated more joyously than Thanksgiving Day, but none are more truly Amercan in their nature than this day which was first set aside by the Pilgrim Fathers in October 1621. It was their, first autumn as Exiles in a new ctittttry and they took this opportunity for special rejoicing. The .following year, their festival period filled with misfortune because of drouth, a' day of special prayer was followed by a long rain and at the same time a ship loaded with supplies was sighted. As a result, the Governor appointed a day for "public thanksgiving." , FIRST REGISTRANTS IN COUNTY ARE EXAMINED Not until ten years later, howev«*f I# there a record of a celebration such as we now keep. The colonists in Plymouth Oolonv gathered in their meet' tag house for psalm singing, prayer and sermon, followed by "making.merry to die creatures, the poorer sort being invited of the Vicher." • • TFor years the festival was almost exclusively a New England institution, but in 1864 President Lincoln set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of national thanksgiving "for the defense against unfriendly designs without and signal victories over the enemy who is of our own household." --4- ^eath thecal dgtru^ RoyKent | kinder- Rn Daniels, L™La'ke;7o™ph Grop, I \ ^JdU^n JoSm^ KcCullom Lake.

TWO FUTURE FARMERS HAVE RETURNED FROM NATIONAL CONVENTION Delegates Paul Tonyan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Tonyan of Ringwood and Danny Cartan, son of Mrs. Lillie Cartan of Lily Lake, hare returned from the Future Farmers' national convention. They report a most interesting and pleasant trip. The convention was the twentieth anniversary celebration and was held in Kansas City, Mo., a short time ago. They were two of thirty-two boys from 8ection Three, taking in Lake, Kane and Me Henry counties. They were accompanied by Leo Kerber, of McHenry, who is the local adviser. They were chosen delegates as a result of a vote of their school chapter in McHenry high, where Paul is a senior and Danny a junior student. A chartered bus took the boys to the convention city, where they stayed at Hotel Continental for five days frost Nov. 14 through Nov. 19. On the way they passed through Independence, Mo. the home town of President Harry Tru man. An interesting program was presented to the boys. On the entertainment side they saw such famous people as Judy Canova, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and the Swiss Yodelers. On the serious side they were addressed by the Secretary of Agriculture Brannon and His Excellency Henri Bonnet, Ambassador from France. culosis being waged througout the country by the 3,000 associations affiliated ' with the National Tuberculosis Associa- /, tion. The annual Seal Sale, which w|gjj continue until Christmas, represents tM only appeal during the year for funda to carry on the year-round tuberculosis control work of the McHenry County Tuberculosis Association. Quota for McHenry county is set at $10,000, the amount needed to carry out a success- , ful program in 1949. v The nationwide fight against tub^r* f culosis today is just as important as * was in 1907, the year of the first Seal Sale in the country. Although tuberculosis has dropped from first,to seventh place as the cause of deaths in America since 1907, the disease still kills nearly 50,000 Americans annually. While no age is safe from tuberculosis, the disease today is taking the lives of move Americans between 15 and 44 than any other disease. . I Large Portion BsttfnsS Death from tuberculosis is uwwswijr-* as well as tragic, because we know that tuberculosis can be prevented. W» also know that our tuberculosis control program is as strong and no stronger than the interest, co-operation and support of every county resident. Of the money raised in this county, 75 per cent remains in the county to fight tuberculosis here and the remainder is forwarded to the Illinois Tuberculosis Association. The staite sends 5 per cent to the Nstional Tuberculosis Association to finance its work on a national level. Of the total raised in the county's Seal 8ale, therefore, 95 per cent will be used within the state. Seal 8ale money finaneee such serviess in the county as: Tuberculin teats la • high sehools, school employee and student x-rays, periodic examination of "contacts" of ex-patienta.
