' , JUNIQR CLASS TO GIVE TWO PLAYS SATURDAY NIGHT Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) Is interesting to note that while the ^president of the United States may be the most powerful man in the world, his wife can't redecorate her home without the approval of Congress. It requires an act of Congress to change any feature of the state rooms, which are used for public' affairs, in the White House. There were some mighty wet little witches and goblins trickor- treating Halloween night, but any rain damage was only on the outside. The same spirit of fun seemed to be present within "all of them as they made their way from house to house.

Mrs. Oberhuber, along ' with others from this area, went to Libertyville last week to greet Senator John F. Kennedy. She carried a sign that read "I am a refugee from Communism. My first vote. Please shake my hand." Senator Kennedy saw her sign, attempted to get close enough to shake her hand but was pushed back by the crowd. Later, as he was leaving, he waved a special goodbye to the McCullom Lake lady as she stood near his car. Mrs. Oberhuber came to the United States from Russia ten years ago and just one year ago proudly °received her citizenship papers. She has been a local resident for the past five years. !

Plan Report Highlights Continued from Page 1 KOLD KICK-OFF MEET IN DRIVE FOR RETARDED Several Roman rulers and wealthy Roman business men had beds, furniture and tableware all made of solid silver. retail sales area greater than the 285,000 square feet of space now in use will be required. They feel that this will not only involve expansion of retail and service establishments, but readjustment of the entire arrangement of land uses to assure that this future market uses McHenry facilities. They add that to realize this goal, the stores will need to provide a full range of convenience and shoppers' goods. Structures, they say, will need to be related with convenience for the pedestrian, and adequate parking space must be provided. Two surveys were undertaken in McHenry with the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce. The consumer survey was conducted over a representative period and consisted of interviews with patrons of the central business district. A second survey \yas made by mail of the non-residential establishments in McHenry to correlate the consumer information and opinion with the businessmen's opinions and business activity. The conclusion drawn by the plan group was that the principal shopping center of this general area will depend upon the ability of the merchants, property owners and the city to improve the existing central business district, to give the customer the features she wants and has come to expect of a shopping center. These, they point out, are convenience, availability of merchandise, price advantage and physical comfort. More findings concerning the commercial aspects of the city will be carried next week. The McHenry County Association for Retarded Children will. meet Monday, Nov. 7, at 8 p.m. at the McHenry high school. Mrs. Joseph Huff of Richmond, president of the association, announced that it will be a business meeting to kick-off the fund drive which has been set for Nov. 13 to 24.
