THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday. February 18, 1960 Musing & Mean derm' (Continued from page 1) was the job that the pavement was visible.. \ . In connection with the snow removal, Don Doherty, presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce, had this to say: Those in charge of snow removal for the city have done an excellent and most commendable job. It is through such efforts of organization and individuals that we have reason for pride in McHenry." County and state roads were a!so cleared in a short time, and by Fiiday there was twoway traffic almost everywhere. City, county and state police ofufie in for their share of credit for the many hours spent in giving the best possible service to motorists, as well as for providing information to the many folks who called regarding, weather and road conditions Late in the Week four, Evanston housewives .were reported rescued from an isolated farm house near Richmond, where they were stranded after the Tuesday storm. The women were Mrs. Esther Lohn. Mi's Anita Bayard Mrs. Evelyn Segal and Mrs Ruth Leavitt, who had gone to the faim house owned by Mrs Lohn's husband to spend two days playing bridge and enjoy ing eating in local restaurants The ladies played more bridge than they expected, but were never able to reach the restaurants. By Wednesday they could only walk around the outside of the house and had little food left but cerea1 and tea. Late that day a farmer made his way to their hous< with a pound of hamburger three potatoes and a bag of green beans. For city ladies, it was quite an experience in rural living -- an experience they won't soor forget. The absence of ice fortunately prevented electrical and telephone lines to fall. However, Wednesday was one of the few times since dial serv- j ice was installed in McHenry that the maximum number of j dial tones which can be an- i swered in a given time was exceeded and it was sometimes necessary to wait a short time for the tone before dialing. Probably most unhappy over the modern conveniences that cleared our roads in record time were McHenry',s young folks, who enjoyed two-day "storm holidays" from school, in addition to one on Lincoln's birthday Friday. Monday found them back in classes, where twenty years ago roads would probably still have been closed. One thing is sure, the big snow storm of February. I960, will not soon be forgotten! ' The office of supervisor of assessments, which is not to be confused with that of township supervisor, was created several years ago. '60 Census To Begin April 1 Our neighbors, Science Research Associates, were featured in story and pictures in the neighborhood section of last Sunday's Chicago Tribune. It was an interesting story telling of the work of this testing center which we have spoken of at various times in the past You shouldn't wonder any longer if it seems increasingly '•fficult to dodge fellow drivers.

F, \NNtJAL THEATRE PARTY PLANNED BY HOSPITAL GROUP (Continued Fron' Page I) The Art Fair in June is another of the annual events sponsored by this group. The Pink Lady Shoppe, bake guild, sewing guild, and card guild ire other important activities which provide a source Of funds for the hospital. Through their untiring efforts. these dedicated women have helped the hospital immeasurably. not only to purchase equipment and their conributions to the hospital's building fund, but through heir volunteer services, they man the desk in the hospital "eception room and the Pink Lady Shopi*> Recently the auxiliary made ts final payment on a $6,000 pledge to the building fund. This was money derived from various activities of this group. Women in this area who wish to become members of this active auxiliary are urged to contact Mrs. "Chuck" Miller, assistant chairman of the membership committee. In recent weeks we have heard an increasing amount of talk about taxes. Aside from the actual grumbling because of the necessity for having to pay them, it seems there is a great d£al of misunderstanding that still exists on the subject. Appraisals on personal property and real estate are made by the assessor appointed for each township of the county. Their reports are then turned over to the supervisor of assessments, who equalizes the assessment on each parcel of land and on personal property. It is after this equalization that the tax N>i each individual s determined. AREA CHAIRMEN LISTED IN FUND RAISING DRIVE Establishment of a district office for the 1960 census of population and housing at 156 Division street, Elgin, was announced this week by Director Theodore F. Olson of the Census Bureau's regional office at Chicago. E. C. Waggoner will be supervisor of the district office.

Because of the geographic location of the individual members, they will be able to reflect the genera' feeling of ,the entire Central Committee in matters that may come up between meetings, when an immediate decision is necessary. KNOW YOUR HOSPITAL Surgery If it could be said that any one department of a hospital is indispensable, we might • say that the department of surgery has that distinction. It might also be said that the small "^S&n hospital can be as complete in its personnel, its equipment -- in surgery as well as in other departments -- as many «big-city hospitals. The surgery department of the McHenry hospital is amazingly complete. It is well organized, well staffed and as modern as jet propulsion. In charge of this department is a young man who knows his department well and is vitally interested in every phase of the work. His name is Dean Leonard. He is married and has one child. He came to McHenry just a few years ago, after he completed his education at Purdue university. He took his nurse's training at the Alexian Brothers hospital in Chicago. Eye patients are his particular specialty. To aid in running this department efficiently it is necessary that each nurse assigned there be capable of handling any phase of the work. Mrs. Leslie Kane is one of the staff assigned to surgery. She was a Wisconsin girl but now lives in Crystal Lake. She has been with the McHenry hospital since its founding. ^ Jane Blake, who rec/nfly graduated from St. Frarteis hospital in Evanston, is a local girl. She, too, is assigned to surgery. Mrs. Leo Revak of Lakeland Park was traine'l at the Luther hospital of nursing in Eau Claire, Wis. Mrs. Rfcvak works part time in surgery and fills in as floor nurse wh£f; needed. She has twn ehildreh. Another worker in surgery is Mrs. William Peterson of Sunnyside. She is the mother of three. She,is a surgical technician and has had some nurse's training. Rudolph Meuhle. lives in Ingleside and was recently discharged from the Navy, where he was a medical corpsman. He is a surgical technician, usually assigned to surgery on Wednesday and to the floor night shift, other days. Assigned to surgery also, is Emily Fjellstedt. She has a daughter and a son now studying languages in. Switzerland. Another child is now in Carroll college in Wisconsin.. Mrs. Fjellstedt is a full-time anesthetist. Miss Katherine Fishrrnch is a part time registered anesthetist who also works at the Lake County Tuberculosis sanitorium. Miss Mathilde Welinske, also a part time anesthetist, is fully registered also. She resides in A r 1 i n g t o n Heights. „ Barbara Eggert, who is soon to,, become a nurse at McHenry hospital, voiced her preference for the surgery department. Barbara is the first of the hospital auxiliary sponsored nurse's training scholarship winners "to be graduated as a nurse. She is completing her studies at Wesley Memorial hospital in Chicago. All of these nurses work efficiently with each other and with the doctors to the best interest of the patient.
