These increases, applied yearly from 1960 to 1969, would account for 2,909 elementary pupils and 1,660 high school pupils by 1969, compared to the figures stated on a projected enrollment chart elsewhere in this issue, which shows the figures to be 3,193 and 2,415. Planners call to mind that the chart figures are not conservative, but demonstrate a geometric increase in the number of students as the total number of families in the districts continues to increase. In high school enrollments, an additional factor is introduced with anticipated increases in the number of parochial high school students having to be accommodated in the public system. Accepting classroom load standards set by the district administrations -- thirty students per classroom -- total needs by 1969 will be approximately as follows: seventy- five classrooms and twentysix special rooms in the high school district, where there jweaftotjy thirty-six aad fourteen respectively; twentyfive classrooms and twelve special rooms for junior high and eighty classrooms and thirty special rooms for the elementary district. - Planners anticipate there jShould be approximately 1,343 ^families in McHenry by 1980 jcompared with the 930 when ;the survey was conducted last :year. They further believe • there should be about 4,200 : families in the planning area ;by that date. The number of families in Elementary District ;3S and High School District -156 will be 9,580 and 17,030. :It is estimated that by 1980 •there will be 3,300 public high •'School age students to be pro vided for, 1,630 junior high jand 3,900 elementary students. SET DEADLINE FOR RETURN OF SURVEY BOOKLETS The McHenry Junior Chamber of Commerce has designated Saturday, Jan. 14, as the deadline date for the return of their public opinion survey booklets. This step was deemed necessary by the Jaycees, due to the amount of man-hours needed to compile information from the survey. Program Director Henry Heise urges all persons still in possession of the 'McHenry Speaks' questionnaire booklets, to complete them immediately, for the greater the number of booklets returned, the better foundation the survey group will haye upon which to base their work. This community development survey is an excellent opportunity for residents to make t h e i * o p i n i o n s h e a r d , a n d should be taken advantage of in order to insure the future success of projects derived from it. Musin' & Meanderin' Continued from Page 1 BUSINESS GROWTH IS REFLECTED IN NEW STATISTICS four years hence; -in the meantime, we can enjoy all the luxurious freedom of which bachelors have been boasting these many years. There are many more resolutions we might make at this time, but we will be satisfied if we keep even a couple of the above. It is enough at this time, so we contemplate the broken rules which are sure to occur, to sit back smugly ana wonder why our friends aren't keeping theirs. Wonder Lake Home Burns To Ground The growth of the business population in McHenry county during the past year is reflected in statistics released on Tuesday of this week by Dun & Bradstreet. Figures list 1,518 manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers in this area as compared to 1,467 in January, of 1960, an increase of 3.4 per cent. McHenry had the highest number of listings this month for the county, with a total or 310 compared to 280 a year ago, or an increase of 30 per cent.

Tbtin^ January 5, 1961 NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF '60 PROMISE TO AFFECT FUTURE Continued from Page 1 " O0KS a to learn that Trolex found it necessary to move operations to Indiana, thus ending employment for sixty. Recent announcement that a new factory will locate here in the spring was encouraging, although the exact date and other details have not yet been released. Problems Arise' Besides the problems which accompany rapid growth, there were others that gave some concern. One centered about news made public in April of a proposed re-routing of Rt. 120 to the north of McHenry. The other, entirely of a local nature, affects the city's aesthetic advantage stressed by planning experts in the wealth of beautiful, towering trees in our midst. Alarm was expressed over the loss of almost forty *sity Elm trees , because of disease. Census figures released indicated a tremendous population increase. Within , the city limits, the rise was over 1,000 in the ten-year period, the new high reaching to 3,318. The township population rose to 16,758 from 7,296. In the meantime, it was disclosed that the county population had increased 50,000 in the last half century. The assessed valuation of the township showed a larger increase than any others within the county, and McHenry, with a valuation of $63,013,- 495, was second only to Algonquin. It was no wonder that Mc- Henry's Plan Commission spent rTiany hours in pondering the weighty problems^ which must be met in the years ahead. Seven men from the McHenry area were also named to a board of the newly formed Eastern County Planning Group, organized for much the same purpose as the local group but concentrating their efforts on a wider area.

Art of Writing la the labor of composition, do not harden your mind with too much at once. Invent first, and then embellish. The production of something where nothing was before is an act of greater energy than the expansion or decoration of the tiding produced. Set down diligently your thoughts as they rise, in the first words that occur. When you have matter, you will easily give it form. --SAMUEL JOHNSON (1709-84) The writings of abstemious and long-fasting hermits were every whit as saltleas, dry, jejune, and insipid as were their bodies when tbejr did oompoae them. --Framoosb RABOJUB («. 1495-1553) GENOA CITY.
