Among those granted was one by Clarence F. Young, who requested a change from agricultural to business land two miles east of McHenry on Rt. 120. Another was that of Pansy Scalf, who was given permission to build a bp-eezeway to connect her house with a garage. Thh bouse is located in King's Fairview subdivision. A request of George Schuman and Robert Gillespie to zone for business land one-quarter mile south of McHenry on Rt. 81 was denied. They planned lb Use the land for a nursery. It was reported many new homes are being built in the area and at a recent hearing there were numerous objectors to the proposal.. REVOKE LICENSES Secretary of State Charles F.

I sit true that the funds obtained' in the last hospital were used for the purchase, of equipment only? Is it true that the present non-profit hospital owns only a portion of the- equipment being used, in the sixteen room lower floor of the last addition to however, I believe there are many more question which should be answered and become a public record. I haw asked two people connected with the drive for the answers.. .Will the.firesent board handle aU matters pertaining to new proposed hospital? . If so. how long? When will the first election be held? Must the board of directors be represented by doctors? Hew many? Must they be on the staff? Do members of the board administrator be a member Of the board? Can he or she be a doctor? How many board of directors? How can by-lawsof association ee changed? Will there be sealed bids for proposed construction? Will bids be tor Complete structure or separate -- building, electrical, plumbing, etc., with contract being awarded to lowest qualified bidder? Inasmuch as proposed building is based on pledges will project be financed through what institution or institutions? Will it be financed at lowest possible interest rate? Is the new institution bound in any Way to continue to rent the present facilities? Can existing hospital refuse to rent present facilities? Does a $10 dues membership in organization give equal voting power? How can membership requirement in association be changed, example: raising of dues, etc.? Can an individual purchase more than one membership in the association? As of Oct. 14, 1957 -- don't by-laws read that three members of board be nominated by medical staff, three by present board of directors and only one nominated by association members? • If hospital is operated at a loss, are the members of the association liable for assessments? Have there been gifts to present hospital? If proposed hospitaal purchases present hospital (McHenry Plaindealer - Oct. 3, 1957) at acquisition cost, does cost and build firpm there? - Are the present board of directors the Owners of the present hospital? If not, who is? To whom is paid approximately $17.34 for each patient who used hospital last year? If hospital bill includes only the cost of care and current maintenance and the number of future patients is unknown, on whaat is each individual's bill figured? Is the financial statement of the present McHenry hospital available for inspection? Where? Will the minutes of the board of directors be available for reading? Where? Inasmuch as the proposed .new McHenry hospital is to be owned by the people of the community and not rented, why must a doctor who wishes to become a member of the McHenry hospital staff have to secure the approval of the active, existing medical staff? It is logical that he should secure the approval of the board of directors. If this is a community affair, should there not be definite boundaries for the community? Should not every doctor with patients within the boundaries have equal rights as to the use of the hospital and its facilities, thereby eliminating the possibility of the patient being faced with an additional doctor's fee? If present institution is in debt --example, equipment not donated --back rent--where is money comdehiyfog t&pltal &peai& flU ihedfafe would certainly lower the cost of care in the long run, inasmuch as the hospital would operate on a strictly non-profit basis. Thank yoti for this opportunity to present these questions to anyone who may be able to furnish the information and for the opportunity to bring the problems involved to the attention of the people of the McHenry area- Very truly yours, $ob Beckenbaugh receive salarv* Are all members the McHenry Medical Group buildassociation member,. Mu«t ,he fflsdS received $20,000 aiuntally in rent and pays to the a£m-profit hospital group 40 percent of either the net profit or gross receipts realized from the fcifioratory? On what is this 40 percent to the hospital group and ft) percent to the owners based? ;£^;{ Am I right in lunderstanding that the present lease has four more years to run, at the expiration of which tlmfe there is an option to renew the' iease for five additional years at a rental "to be adjusted"? Is my information correct, is the present McHenry .hospital delinquent in their rent 7 If this is the case, could not the present owners close their doors at will, thereby leaving the proposed addition without the use of the existing equipment?^If there is dissention between the pwnerf an dthe board of directors, for example; fees charged for use of X-Ray, etc., could not the present owners refuse the use of these facilities to the McHenry hpspital? I haven't any knowledge of construction costs but I would feel the five-year rental of $100,000 less the cost of heating, air conditioning, and other maintenance would go a long way toward pay? ing the Medical Group .for the sixteen-room hospital section which they built. To allay any doubts in this matter, a frank disclosure of building costs and indebtednesses should be laid before the public and the nonprofit bos* pital corporation shovild be given an option to purchase the entire' Medieal Group building at a price which would certainly allow the building owners 'a reasonable profit for the time expended in establishing the need for a hospital in this community, as well as for their risk in making the substantial investment necessary to begin the hospital operation here. fr I fthe non-profit hospital corporation is given a lohg term lease on its present quarter? at a fair rental; if the nontprgfit corporation is given a faif option to purchase all of the strictures and land presently utilized; by the McHenry Medical Gfoup; if such option will essure' the non-profit corporation of operating the laboratory and receiving the rather excellent profits from its operation to help pay costs and defray expenses; if the present occupants of the Medical Group building will seek and obtain office space elsewhere after the exercise' of that option; if the non-profit hospital corporation shall complement its staff under usual regulations and procedure practices as followed by hospitals in the Chicago area, then I shall be a willing contributor to the fullest extent possible. I especially object to any laboratory fees realized from the conduct of the hospital operation going to private individuals. It is my understanding a laboratory should offer between $750. and Thank you to the dozens ot McHenry residents, who have called me by phone or otherwise contacted tne, In regaird to an open letter, written by tne, to our weekly newspaper* All callers shared my views on the situation. It is not my intention to enter into any controversy in this matter, as I am antagonistic to no one. In fairness to our local doctors, who have; given faithful service through, the years and with a deep sense of gratitude to them let the unvarnished truth come out in the open and let the chips fall where they may. As this is a vital civic matter, I shall list a few of the questions asked by the callers, who willingly gave their names, but whose questions I could not answer, because I did not have the information. A $20,000 rental is paid by the hospital yearly. For what? To whom? and for how long? In whose name-is the deed listed and in whose name is it recorded? If it is a corporation, who are its incorporators? If for some reason the hospital could not rtieet the yearly rental, to whom would the property revert? Is a doctor considered a full time doctor when he visits the clinic or hospital once or twice a week? How many of "these full time doctors" reside in McHenry or its TV>: The Plaindealer, (1) we teed • (2) What will it dost, Awl is this a reasonable firice? (3) Is the proposed structure adequate? (4) Are the laws which govern its operation fair, and do > they conform basically to .those of other hospitals? (5) Will the people: who contribute to the building bave a voice in its operation? If we make certain that those basic issues are sound, then the appeal for the hospital is valid, and other arguments merely serve to Cloud our thinking. Did you ever hear of anyone campaigning to defeat a bond issue for a new sewerage plant because he didn't like An alderman; or arguing against a school bond because they were a teacher in another school? Certainly such arguments appear ridiculods --atid yet this is the very type -of logic which characterizes some of the objections to the present drive for funds. 'Hie need for additional hospital facilities here is glaringly obvious, ft appears that no one disputes this fact. We should then satisfy ourselves that the structure is adequate and the cost is reasonable. The Hospiital association's by-laws are sufficiently flexible to allow for changes according to the will of the majority'of its members. Contributions to the campaign can qualify for membership in the association and have a voice in hospital management through the board of directors they will elect. Complete and clear-cut answers on all the basic issues can be found in the campaign literature being distributed throughout the McHenry area. The means are at hand to settle disputable issues of operation and management. Let lis then be doncerned with the real problems of our growing' community, and build the hospital we need. Donald E. Johnson vicinity? Why should anyone. collect public funds from, a community for a hospital that would service only a few. A hospital that operates under a just code allows all physicians in good stahding an opportunity to Serve on its staff. The McHenry hospital is a monopoly, accepting only doctors from the clinic, others stay out. To e'ear tbe air .in a truthful manner would be a welcome gesture, as we are poor little lambs who somewhere along the way have lost their enthusiasm to give their hard earned money for a community hospital that would be non existent. It would not benefit the entire community, only 'a few Individuals. The decision is up to you. To be a community hospital, the facilities must be made available to all doctors in this vicinity. Mrs. Leone Grenier McHenry 1369-W '^To the people of McHenry stad vicinity: "In the ten years that I have lived in McHenry, I have been interested in, and devoted a portion of my time to, civic affairs; During this time I have seen many changes and heard many issues discussed. It has been my observation that sentiment and emotion have tended to distort thinking on almost all civic problems and have tended to confuse many of us as to the basic issues involved. I have never, however, seen this condition more prevalent than in the current hospital drive. I feel it is high time that we try to sepaarate the wheat from the strftw. Let us isolate the basic isiues from all distorting arguments. In my opinion, these basic question are: I think we are losing sight of one very important fact in this hospital campaign. We are now enjoying the benefits of a twentytwo bed hospital here in McHenry because a few doctors and a few interested citizens had the courage and vision to proceed on their own and provide facilities which we shduld have provided ourselves. Just where would we be today if the twenty-two beds here were not available? The patients who occupied these beds during the past year would have been crowded into other nearby hospitals which are already overcrowded. Let's be thankful for what we have instead of being unhappy about a lot of details which are not important. Some of my friends are Objecting to having doctors on the present hospital board. It. is true that this used to be frowned upon. However, the 1953 report of the Joint Commission on Hospital- Physician Relationships of the boaard of trustees of the A.M.A. and the A.H.A. recommended that members of the medical staff may have access to the board. We, who are 10 miles away, wish a thousand times we had this same set-up. Mrs. Thor Fjellstedt, Long Lake, Ingleside, 111.

Choose Background With Care One of the most important questions you picture-takers can ask yourselves is: "What's behind it all?" No, we're not suggesting you turn into a Sherlock Holmes or a psychoanalyst--we're just recommending that you get into the habit of looking behind your subject as well as at it before you shoot a picture. In many instances--where exposure, distance, viewpoint and the subject are all the same--it's the choice of background that determines the success 'of the finished print. What are the best backgrounds? Well, first of all, simple ones--those that complement rather than clutter your picture story, while at the same time offering some contrast & color or brightness. Next, according to the total effect you want to create, decide whether a jieutral background or a natural one is the more appropriate. A sweep of blue sky or green lawn, a painted wall or an unpatteroed drapery would be considered a neutral background --one that adds nothing to the actual story value of your picture. but serves merely as a plain backdrop. A natural background, on the -other hand, provides something more. It's a setting for the action being performed by the person you're snapping -- and as sud^ adds its own story-telling ele-r ments to the picture. A shot of a little girl playing with a toy baking set will be twice as effebr tive taken right in the kitchener the natural setting for sudii "homemakiolf tasks--than if she were pictured holding her rol pin and take pans on the porCk Choosing your with carMsd aii eye on the simple and uncluttered--will give you a better picture every time. So be sure to look behind your subject before you click your shutter! *-Jqhn Van Guilder Read The Classified Want Ads GLEN GILE AUCTION WILLIAM H.
