The two buildings will house 96. boys. Earlier plans for building four dormitories, three for boys arid one for girls, have been modified because of high, construction costs. An enactment of the General Assembly in 1953 provides that juvenile offenders committed to the Youth Commission by Illinois couiity and fjunily-courts are to be sent to the reception center for a period of six to eight weeks for diagnosis preliminary to treatment and placement.

You see, a permanent TV camera constantly records their antics onto a central screen to the viewing convenience of their guards. TV cameras in circling planes ten miles overhead pick-up the military tactics of practicing militia and send it to the screens of West Point for study purposes. • Dog race betters at a Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida see the race'finishes via television in their lounging rooms. In Oakland, California a Allan McKim parking lot has a TV camera mounted high overlooking the spacious lot. A 21 inch screen in the attendant's booth tells him where the empty car spaces ar3. You can have baby's -room hooked-up with television so you can watch him from your living room. These are just a few ways that television is being, used. However, most of us enjoy TV daily from our easy chairs. We want a clear, sharp picture that is steady. We pride ourselves at McHENRY TV in knowing how to do this kind of servicing on television.
