The matter was presented to the board of supervisors this month and referred to the home committee, which has power to set up mechanics for a bond issue. Action is necessary due to the fact that the structure, almost three-quarters of a century old, has failed to pass either the state health- or fire standards. The county has been given thirty days to company with a recent request ofr the state fire marshal to adhere to regulations in regard to room space for each person, exits and fire proof* doors, among other thiYigs. , The home's superintendent, Howard N^hlig. informed the board that previous warnings, had come from the fire marshal and state health department, giving a limit of thirty days for Some kind of action to be taken. / An architectural firm representative was present and outlined a design for remodelling the old structure and an addition of two new things with a community room. Under the proposed plan, one of the wings would be one story high and would house couples and women residents. The other would be for men's rooms, with a connecting community room and small stage. Underneath the latter, on the ground level, would be the dining room, kitchen, etc. The new addition adds thirty beds, making a total of fifty in the entire structure. According to Nehlig, at the pres ent time the farm is paying off and he added that the home is costing $75 per month per person, which is considerably cheaper than Boone county, which leased the farm and is operating at a cost of $120 a person. His remarks followed a suggestion that 80 acres used for farming purpdees could be sold and the money used toward the new building. It was felt that the bjHid issue was the best procedure. The new wings are estimated at a cost of $200,000 and the remodelling and demolishing a part of the old structure, plus other costs, at $50,000: '* ! !;;j LECTURE CLUB TO OPEN NEW SEASON IN CITY NEXT WEEK The first meeting of the Lecture Luncheon club will be held Wednesday, Sept.

EDWARD WALKER. INJURED RECENTLY. DIED LAST FRIDAY Auxiliary Gives Hospital Check Two months after the first half payment on their pledge to the building fund, Mrs. Charles Wright turned oyer a second check for $37,544.42 which brought the total payment by the women's auxiliary of Memorial hospital to $75,000. There have been many ways in which the auxiliary has raised their money. Through the years, projects such as bake sales, card parties, tag days, "Holiday Hospitality" days and many other functions have been sponsored bv the auxiliary. At the present time, more than one-third of the payments have been made on the construction costs of the building. This additional amount from the auxiliary arrived at a time of need as the funds for construction are * gradually being used and it is vitally mportant that pledges which were made to the building project be completed. Recently some v new pledges have been made to help offset the cost of furnishing the buildin? There are memorials available if there are people in the community who wish to choose soirif area or item to memorialize. The addition to the boiler room ;s nearing completion. One of the oil-fired boilers is ready for use now in the event the weather turns cold and the old buildings need to be heated. Actual completion of the building has not been determined: however, it is hoped that occupancy can be taken in early spring. It i w\ll be summer before he demolition of the oldest building takes place and the landscaping is complete.

"Plane-Talk" for Picture-Takers Since fall and winter vacations have become so. popular--and so many of us have made flying our regular mode of travel--we thought we'd go in for a little "plane talk" especially for you picture-takers. First of all, cameras make ideal traveling companions on any flight. And when we say cameras, we mean any kind. You can take your choice between a simple box camera or a more elaborate one-- between a camera that will make snapshots or one that wUl shoot movies. 4 Before you start Shooting pictures from the air, it might be well to remember two basic points--both of them simple and very much to the point.-(1) Always be sure that neither your camera nor your arms .come in contact with rfny part of the plane, or vibration will make your pictures turn out blurred and fuzzy. Your camera should be close to the window, but not touching it. (2) For the best results, use a Alter to cut through atmospheric haze. It's easiest to make good clear shots when the plane has reached an altitude of at least 2000 feet, since the ground then doesn't move by so rapidly. The best seats for picture-takers are those in the back half of the cabin anct on the side away from the direct rays S? the sun. On an eastbound flight, try to sit on the left side; on a westbound trip, choose a seat on the right side. You'll find that the effect of the plane's speed will be minimized if you shoot "oblique" views -- that is, by holding your camera pointed ahead of the plane or to the rear, rather than straight down or straight out the side. In other words, shoot when the plane is approaching or leaving the subject, and not when it is flying parallel to the subject. Whether you're taking snapshots or movies, start your picture story well before take-off time. A busy airport is a fascinating place--filled with excited passengers, teeming luggage trucks and taxiing planes--bustling with activities that deserve the attention of your camera's eye. In the air, watch for interesting terrain--a canyon, a mountain range, unusually contoured fields, a bridge or a harbor. Get part of the plane wings and engines in some of your shots--and be alert for striking cloud-and-sky effects: or for an incredibly beautiful sunrise or sunset above the cloudy. --John Van Guilder (Continued From Page 1) at home; and his grandmother, Kate Cullaton, of Wonder Lake.

McHenryi itolds Records * McHenry has the largest number of Boy Scouts and Cubs in the county aftd our boys need the leadership and help in their trpop and pack activities furnished by the Blackhawk area headquarters office and executive staff at Rockford.. ' M. L. Schoenholz, principal of the junior high school and one of the "old-timer" scoutmasters in McHenry, recently remarked that "Scouting has been a tremendous factor for good, in the lives of .over 26,000,000 boys and Sccwt leaders' in America since 1910." In a check of national headquarters statistics, he was found to be right. There have been well over that number of Scouts and leaders in America since 1910. Over four and a half million Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers and theiiv adult leaders are enrolled in th* organization in the nation today. Harry P. Stinespring, Jr., of Pistakee Bay, who is an executive board member-at-large of the Blackhawk Area council and has long been active in scouting locally states, "In this day of crosscurrents pulling our youth in questionable directions, our boys need the good influences of scouting more than ever. I'm sure the gooJp, people of the McHenry aretr realize this fact and will wholeheartedly support the scout fund drive on Oct. 15."
