Eight ipipfpi||flpfP|^^ STORY .0$ COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME BEACHES PUBLIC?* 4 It has been a year sihfee Rev. Clarence Kerr joined the staff of the Woodstock Children's Home, charged with the responsibility of telling people about the home and of ehcouraging contributions. ' "We've found an open door every time, and I have visited more than 100 groups and organizations during the year to tell them about the home and the children who are there," said Rev. Kerr. Two questions most frequently asked concern the schooling of the children and the problem of juvenile delinquency among young people. Most listeners are surprised to learn the home has no school facilities. Instead, the children attend Woodstock public schools, and Nelson Stork, Superintendent of schools, has often remarked that he is pleased with the behavior and diligence of the Children's home pupils. "Few of the children at the home are juvenile delinquents," Rev. Kerr explains patiently. "They are the victims of broken homes. They are neglected children, often caught in the middle because parents simply don't care. "The parents may be delinquent. The children seldom are, but they would be in danger of drifting into juvenile delinquency if not given love and care by someone interested in their welfare," he said grimly- There remains a continuing need to tell the story of the home to the public, and he has started visiting some organizations a second time because members are deeply concerned about the child welfare program. Organizations desiring his appearance at one of their meetings may contact Rev. Kerr at the Children's home. He makes visits throughout the county, attending either day time or evening meetings. 8th Annual Speech Clinic Is Planned JOHNSBURG PTA HOST TO COUNTY COUWCIL TONIGHT The Johnsburg public school P.T.A. will act as host to the McHenry county council this evening, May 16.

Under the law, at present, if you file a complaint about your tax bill yon only have to pay 75 percent of the tax bill. This gives the property owner some protection. The committee, headed by Russell Arrington (R) of Evanston wants to take this away. All property owners should write to Robert McClory, state senator, Springfield. Do it today because time is short. The session ends June 30. You should also write to Senator Paul Douglas and Senator Everett Dirksen, Washing- Ion, D.C. to oppose 71.8 billion budget. OBITUARIES | Benjamin, L.
