The Case is scheduled to be heard next on Feb. 10. Addressing a large assemblage of District 6 Pure Milk members at the annual meeting held in West wood school. Woodstock, last Saturday, A. L. McWilliams, general manager of PMA, stated that "through PMA leadership and the bargaining power provided by that group's system of dairy plants, 1960 provided the highest spread between the Class I and manufacturing milk prices in the history of the Chicago Order 41 market." He continued to explain that the spread is about $1.17 and when the fifteen-cent bulk tank premium of the association is added, the spread becomes $1.32. Later, he called attention to certain difficulties which have arisen from the more attractive prices. He emphasized that the base price of 1961 looks to be about the same as in 1960, due in part to the higher Class IV prices anticipated. During the afternoon session, at which McWilliams spoke, seven district members were announced as winners of twenty-five year pins. Several were present to receive theirs in the presence of the large crowd. Local members accorded this honor were Math Adams, Bernard A. Freund and Irving Ettinger, all of the McHenry area.

It would give adequate protection against a rainfall intensity such as is expected to occur once in every five years. Construction of such a system would be accomplished on a special assessment oasis, with city participation- in over-sized mains. The itemized costs for storm drainage do not include the cost of enlargement of the Nunda drainage district storm outlet in the southerly portion of the city. In order to handle the increased flow, it shouldJ be enlarged to 48 and 54 inchF^ es in size, at a cost of about $150,000, planners say. In order to serve the further drainage from development in the southwest portion of the jurisdictional area, the outlet should be enlarged to 60 to 90 inches, at a cost of about $300,- 000. Costs estimates for the storm drainage project were as follows: City only, $471,978; second phase (17,300 population), $87,600; final phase (66,000 population), $355,800. In the second and final phases, an open drainage system was assumed, utilizing .ditches along the roads. There is ample fall for this type of system, and there appears to be many well developed natural drainage channels available for discharge of storm waters. Planners call attention to the fact that these recommended systems represent the ultimate necessary to provide adequate service to the entire area as it is envisioned by the report, reflecting the general views of the city. They are aware that the costs indicated seem large at first glance; however, they will be spread over time, occurring only as specific improvements are required. In this respect, the costs can be expected to vary, most probably upward, as the economy changes. The plan consultants feel that the important factor is that a plan such as this enables the growth of the area to be guided along lines which will result in the desired end for the McHenry locale, with a minimum of duplicating existing facilities. Neighborhood Girl Scout Leaders To Meet Of special interest to Girl Scout and Brownie leaders in the Valley View neighborhood is the Feb. 8 meeting at the American Legion home, McHenry. A representative from Council will join the group, which begins its session at 1 p.m. These meetings, held every s e c o n d W e d n e s d a y o f t h e month, afford leaders and coleaders the opportunity of comparing notes with other leaders, plus the very important items of interest which keep them up-to-date on all that is new in Girl Scouting.

Therefore, through six captains, to be announced later, and a task force of heart volunteers, it is planned that every home in our community will be visited on Heart Sunday."
