PigoElght f < * \ 1 , (, 'e.. "v '-V-. • J'f •••:••• •• •V ,r , .^'.-.i. >•• '---- Tthall answer each question as the items appeared In rotation in last week's Plaindealer. Mrs. Me- • Dermott agrees on one point-- -let the people know the truth, something she claims I am not reporting. Mrs. McDermott claims they have been here about twenty years and that they have; encouraged all community improvements. Haven't we all, and what difference does it make if a person is in this area twenty years, ten < years or six months if they are good citizens and willing to help their community in a sincere way? I know this area well, having settled in a sister town in 1933. At no time in writing the Pulse have I ever said that a hospital was not needed or wanted in Mc- Henry. The issue has always been, "Why our local doctors and their patients,'and those of surrounding areas are being barred from the McHenry hospital and since the McHenry clinic and hospital are privately... owned, what right' have they to collect from a community they will not serve? According to: records at the county clerks office in Woodstock, the clinic is owned and operated by Sam Liebsohn, Lee and Gertrude Gladstone. The corporation is made up of Dr. Lee Glad- Stone, Dr. George Alvary, Don Johnson, John Neuharth, Henry B. Tonyan and from these are also the board of directors. Residents of McHenry let us pause and think, if and when we have a hospital in McHenry it must be one that will serve all .its people and the towns surrounding us--not a hospital that will serve mostly automobile accident cases . and minor accidents. It would be enlightening to know the rate of accident cases as compared to home cases. Our local doctors in McHenry and environs were all contacted and asked the same question, "Were you ever asked to be on the staff of Mc-, Henry hospital?" All their answers were flat nos. Who are you going to believe, your own doctors, some who have been here for years and have devoted the best part--of*fetheir lives to this community, men of integrity, loyalty and with charity in their hearts, who have taken care of patients, with or without the ability to pay, or believe the word of one man? In the brochure being distributed it reads and I quote, "We can rightfully say that the hos- ULSE dollars for a hospital in McHenry? Who is this hospital for if its residents must go elsewhere? Better get all your facts straightened out, before you make statements like" that. On the surface, don't you think your remarks appear very contradictory? We know that sometimes smoke gets in our eyes, but in time when the smoke is lifted and you are awakened to a realization of what has happened, it may be too late. Constructive and truthful criticism has never hurt anyone especially when the issue is of vital interest to a whole community instead of a few. The time to air our views is now not after the harm has, been done. I have been in town twice this past week and was greeted cordially by those for or against this issue. AH seemed calm1 and composed, With no signs of hostility bordering on a civil war. The public is aroused and well it may, be, conducting a public drive for money that will only benefit a few, but will be a tremendous profit to a privately owned institution. Remember the profit to Uncle Sam will be small, but the intake will be large. At this time I do want to thank the Plaindealer for its fairness in publishing the .. pros and cons1 of thW issue as it was done impartially. So orchids to the staff.

For three weeks the readers of the Plaindealer have been subjcted to the vindictive statements of the lady from Griswold Lake Let her answer the questions raised in Betty Dunn's letter and then be still so that the rest of us can do something constructive about the McHenry hosnitnl. Rita A. Kalsch October 31, 1957 Public Pulse: I think Mr. Pollock has made the best and most constructive suggestion yet. Regardless of the name of your doctor, you may need a hospital bed and in this day with the needs of all hospitals so scute you ought to support one. There are probably some wonderful people who do, or have, suppital belongs to everyone... living j ported both. If you feel you would in this area." In the open letter I be more likly to call on the Woodby Dr. Gladstone in last week's issue of the Plaindealer, he said and I quote. "The beds available here have allowed doctors practicing in McHenry and elsewhere in this region to have more space in other hospitals for their patients. With these two conflicting remarks I should close my case, but not before I say to Mr. Pollack, thank you for the tip of helping Woodstock hospital. I have been there and received wonstock hospital than the, McHenry hospital then support the ,one of your choice. But, please, give your pledge to one or the other.

Again I wish to thank all of that of course this individual or group of individuals were following would stand a reasonably goodl chance of producing the desired net result--that of a community hospital in fact, owned by the people of the community and controlled by the majority of these people. I hesitated to serve on the drive because I was not familiar with the project, therefore, prepared a list of questions. Previous to the meeting of the drive workers, I asked for the answers to these questions from the chairman: of the citizens' committee. Inasmuch es I was not satisfied With the answers. I sent a note along with the questions to the worker who had contacted me, explaining that, feeling the way I did, I was sure that my presence at the meeting' would be of no value: At a" Inter date. I was contacted by an individual who. I believe, was one of the gentlemen furnished bv Beaver Associates. He asked if we could get together on my questions. which we did. Again I was dissatisfied. I did ask three more, what I considered key people, a few of what T thought were the most pertinent questions. This may have taken six hours more or less--I saw no reason to keep time. To my knowledge and to my regret there was not a transcript kept of the conversation and answers I received to my ouesions. therefore. I cannot honestly quote the answers given me, Ttnwpwr, T am reasonably sure the differences were due to a lack nf knowledge. I did request and was permitted to see the by-laws fwillingly?). I did not request nor did I see any hospital records is stated in a previous publication. i * T do not believe it fair to suhiect those who have so unselfishly given their time, experience, knowledge and perhaps money for the eood of this community to the criticisms and temntations that are ant to follow such a vast undertaking. and because I find so many neople desire all or part of the answers to the questions pub- ^phed Oct. 94. why not simply nublish the answers in a straight forward, business - like manner? Perhaps by doing this, it would alleviate considerable confusion and criticism at a later date! unite the community to a greater extent. help to overcome a deficit of 125 beds and help to have a community hospital in fact rather than name. sure, criticisms or monetary gain ' or loss theyjvmay^be subjected to. I consider it my privilege, right and duty to question, agree or disagree with any community, st'ate or national project that may have a direct or indirect bearing on ,the lives of the people on this earth. Sincerely, Bob Beckenbaugh. you here for being behind our hoys 100%. Your Neighbor, Mrs. Alma Hueckstaedt EDUCATION WEEK To the Citizens of McHenry: Have you been wondering why Mary brings home so much home work? Are you puzzled because Jimmy doesn't bring home any, school work? Have you tried tO conjure up a picture of Mr. Smith or Miss Brown who seem to be people the "kids" know at school? Do you know what's in those stacks of books you purchased at the beginning of the school ye&r? These might be questions that have occurred to you. Have you taken the time to look for an answer? Because most parents hesitate, to iust "drop in" for a school visit, the schools are setting aside a week in which you may feel free to caU at any of the school hours. In -cooperation with the National Education association, the McHenry schools are not only inviting you, but urging you, either as a parent or just a civic-minded citizen, to visit your school, during National Education Week, Nov. 11 to Nov. 15. : The "Classroom Teachers, Dist. 5 BEAUTIFUL NEW CONVENT HOME NEAR COMPLETION (Continued From Page 1) As is often the case, publications, particularly those published before the public, may be interpreted and used inmost any manner a person desires.

Colleen was also a to 1957 homecoming sweetheart at To whom it may concern, I would like personally to thank all the people of Lilymoor subdivision and Fritzsche's Estates for their contributions to the Boy Scout fund drive. Being the head of this drive for this area, I know I couldn't have done it alone. With the help of Kathryn Fulher, Mary • Hollenback, Jo Bartelt, Eunice Tobey, Laura Belford and Betty Winston, we covered the area pretty well. If we overlooked anyone, contributions are still being accented. You can mail them to me, Mrs. Alma Hueckstaedt, Rt. 6, Box 1186j McHenry, 111. To date we have collected $84.45. Being a jesidfcl^fc of Lilymoor, I am very proud, of the people here and at Fritzsche's Estates for their donations to, such a worthwhile organization as the Boy Scouts of America. We have a few Boy Scouts in 'purposes, our area but we would ljke t<> see the amount grow, so any boys 11 years and older interested in scouting in the Lilymoor area can ed to the school, consisting of the four new classrodhis. The building is of face brick to match the existing school, as w£ll as lannon stone. Aluminum double - hung windows have been used in the classrooms. The roof construction is of steel and wood, with tar and gravel roofing over rigid insulation. A second boiler has been added to augment the system in supply*- ing heat for the new addition. The classrooms are heated with unit ventilators which have thermostatically controlled dampers for taking fresh air from the. outside, as required. The entire system is of the oil-fired, low pressure, steam heating type. The interior walls are of glazed tile and blocks, and classroom floors are asphalt tile over concrete. The corridor and lavatory floors are terrazzo and ceilings are treated with acoustical tile. The classrooms are lighted with eight-foot, instant starting, flourescent fixtures. Germicidal lamps have also been installed. Modern chalk boards are green, with aluminum trim. Convent Remodelling The changes in the convent consist of extensive alterations of the existing building. A new front entrance and receotion room have been added. Additional space includes a completely new kitchen, new community room and four new sleeping rooms. A fire escape from the second floor has been added at the rear of the building. The entire structure is refinishr ed on the inside and veneered with face brick on the outside to match the rectofy building. Other additional features are the addition of housekeeper's quarters with This means that the' patient's, meal arrives on a cart in a sealed container that will' keep the food hot for as long as two hours. Second Level Features The second level fits into the hillside and opens directly onto South street to the north. This level is where the entrance is, and it also contains a lobby, a gift and snack shop that will be operated by the auxiliary of the hospital, offices for the administrator and the director of nurses, two operating rooms and fourteen patients rooms. Each of these rooms will be airconditioned and will have piped in dx>gen. The third level contains . the maternity section, with two nurseries and two delivery rooms.. There will b.e nine semi-private rooms which offer a beautiful view of, the countryside to the west of the hospital. On the roof of the top .level all s e r v i c e s have been b r o u g h t through and capped so that they would only need to be opened to continue upward for an additional floor. Hansen says the foundation has been prepared to take two additional floors. PRF-HOLIDAY SALE.
