Smaller branches extended to the latters' wedding pictures and still further to the Zimmermans' grandchildren. Bright green leaves gave the tree a most artistic and real appearance. Needless to say, it was the most appreciated gift they received and will occupy a prominent place in the Zipamerman living room. 1 Arrangements have been made for a meeting) on Friday Evening, .Nov. 19, in. ih© F&cm Bureau Building of Frank Jones, representing the office of the state Superintendent of Public Instruction in the hot lunfeh progfam, and superintendents and principals of the thirty-four McHenry county school districts.

Russell Switzer, owner, has purchased five acres of land on U.S. 14 between Rt. 31 and the Pure Oil plant at Crystal Lake. Plans are now under way for the construction of manufacturing headquarters there, although he intends to maintain a sales outlet in McHenry. The new plant will measure 300x100 feet and will be located on land purchased from the Consumers Building Material and Service company. It is- with reluctance that Mr. Switzer moves his business from McHenry but after looking for many months and making inquiries to no avail regarding the purchase of property in this community he found no other choice. Even a visit with the county zoning officer, George Jedlicka, provided no solution for a local purchase. Learning of Mr. Switzer's desire to build larger quarters and his need for moving in the near future, he was visited by Crystal Lake's mayor and Chamber of Commerce president, who proceeded with all necessary arrangement regarding location of property, zoning qualifications and utilities.
