STAFF CHANGES MADE IN COUNTY INSTITUTIONS Increase in the number of persons in the Old People's reiff home and a step-up in Services for children - in t$e Children's home has ptofopted a change in Btaff responsibilities. The Rev. Eugene Maxwell, superintendent of the Woodstock homes since 1947, has received board approval to concentrate full time on the 'administration and operation of the hoaje. The Rev. John'Ellis, business mahager for the last four years, will be in charge of the Old People's home. The Children's- home, which has averaged fifty-five children yearly, has been, lobated in Woodstock since 1900 and has provided a vital community function tor McHenry county, since that time. More than half the children come from communities Within the county, and while local contributions provide about $7,500 per year, the Free Methodist church contributes approximately $25,000 yearly. In addition, parents who place children are required to pay toward their upkeep. "I requested the change in duties because the' Old People's rest home has increased from twenty-six to fifty persons in the last five years," explained Rev. Maxwell. "in addition, we want to increase the service* for children at the Children's home. I want to spend more time with the children, Working and playing with them, and giving greater emphasis in solving their problems. It is our de£ire to further train our staff to . be of increased assistance to the children." Rev. Maxwell praised the staff of five house parents, a nurse, janitor, cook and night supervisor, calling it "the best we've $ver had." ' The superintendent continued, "Children come to our home emotionally disturbed. Often they come from broken homes, or homes where a death has caused the need to place the children with us. These children need attention, lots of affection, and good care. "We also plan greater cooperation with the schools. They have cooperated 100 per cent with us and we have hot always been able to reciprocate. We want to rectify that, and plan to work with children , throughout the county who need our help so every resident can be proud of the Work we do."
