PiS Page'felgW Thursday, April i7. Dedicate New City Hospital (Continued from Page 1) MusiiT & Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) construction which is an addition covering 6,000 square fee' with fourteen beds and a surgical suite. The hospital draws patients from an area of approximately 750 square miles. McHenry hospital was founded as a not-for-profit corporation in spring, 1956, by a group of local business and professional men. - Hospital Unique The hospital is unique in that it has a staff of specialists in most major fields of medicine and surgery, which is unusual for a community of this size. It was established and the building constructed with funds contributed by civic minded individuals, and loans were made and guaranteed by members of the board of directors. No gov ernment loans or assistance have been received to date. The building, with the eighteen beds and a., maternity section with nursery of fourteen bassinets, is the first stage of construction Eventual goal is ninety beds and complete facilities in hospital building. This is expected to be reached in four stages. Patient load at the hospital has almost doubled in the past three years. In the last year, percent of occupancy figures, showing the ratio of beds filled to total beds, has averaged 92 per cent as compared to the operational norm of 80 per cent. McHenry hospital was instrumental in setting up a Mental Health Clinic for McHenry County. This group operates as a separate unit but uses consultants who are memtiers of the hospital staff. ' The hospital was recently ap pointed a poison control center t$y State Department of Health. An emergency room is availfltble, with registered nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. EVERGREEN PREFIX SOME DAY WILL BECOME OBSOLETE A telephone company program which eventually will Iftake the telephone prefix EVergreen obsolete started last Saturday, said Robert Zahn, Illinois Bell manager. The program is called "All- Number Calling" and consists of giving seven-figure telephone numbers to all new telephone customers and to those who have a change of service requiring a new telephone directory listing. 'The entire country is gradually changing to this new seven-figure telephone numbering system," said Zahn. "The maiq, reason for the change is to provide needed additional telephone number cor.'l matiors .for the future. But customers will also find the system easierto use, less confusing and m \re accurate than the two-letter, five-figure system." Initially police, fire and telephone company telephones have received the new system, along with some McHenry businesses, the school sys'em and new residential customers. "Some of our customers, have requested they be given the new seven-f i g u r e telephone numbers," Zahn said, "and we're happy to make the change for them." The new prefix is "385 -- the numerical equivalent of "EVergreen 5." Zahn said in the next several months seven-figure numbers will become very familiar to McHenry telephone users. turc has kept a few of her possessions to her liking, regardless of the opinions of man. After many months of planning, the ' new postal address system goes ir.to effect next week. Aside from the major details, which are described elsewhere in this issue, along with a map of the area, it i» interesting to, note that all residences on ttie north and east side of the! street have even numbers, those on 1 he south and west have odd numbers. Homes facing a north-south street have an address of "north", even though th»-y may alsp be west of the dividing line. Those facing an east-west street will have a "west" address. This month, Ray Page became the third man - to be nonored with a lifetime membership through outstanding contribution to the local Legion post. The other two were John Dreymiller and William Uthoff. Those who are acquainted with the great amount of good all three have contributed to the community, through their efforts in behalf of the Legion, are not surprised that fellow members should so honor them. Paul Raasch is making plans to take twenty soloists and one duet to Ashton, 111., to the state final music contest for Junior high students. All of those making the trip won first place in the recent district contest, in which the band placed second. Some mighty fine reports have been circulating concerning the performances of "Melodic Journey" presented at St. Mary's school auditorium this past week. Praise has also been generous for young thespians who took part in the senior play presented last Friday evening. There seems to be no lack ol talent in our community, and public support should encourage a continuance of fine programs in the future. K. A. F. . KIWANIS PLANNED DINNER BENEFITS MENTAL CLINIC (Continued from Page 1) SENTENCED TO PRISON Two Chicago men, Stanley Boryca and Michael Malmenato, both 29, were sentenced to state prison for one to two years last Monday when they pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and larceny before Judge William M. Carroll in circuit court. They were indicted for a break-in at the Pearl Top tavern near Spring Grove on Jan. 2, in which they took about $30. hoped that everybody will attend and bring their family for this very worthy cause. The Mental Health Center is a non-profit organization governed by a board of fourteen directors consisting of business, professional, clerical and other interested people throughout thft county. This organization started operation on Jan. 11, 1960, and since that time haf conducted more than 2,300 treatment sessions with more than 300 patients. The purpose of the center is to help people locally on an out-patient basis, who have a problem and yet do not require commitment to an institution. This organization is dependent upon contributions from the public and fund-raising endeavors as its chief source of financial support. Small fees are collected from those of their patients who are able to pay, but these fees defray only a small part of their expenses. The state of Illinois has, in the past, appropriated money to help get the Mental Health Center started. However, it is their intent to withdraw this support as soon as the people of McHenry county will contribute and supply the necessary financial means to make this organization self-support - ing within the County it services. The spaghetti dinner is quite timely, as it coincides with the beginning of Mental Health Week.

Sturdily constructed though it may be, it is continually subject to attacks from many quarters which can weaken.. it and threaten the home owner's investment qiUess preventive measures are taken. Winds tug at and loosen shingles. Rains probe for entry. Mo tar crumbles and boards decay. A house, which expands in warm sunlight and contracts in the chill night, is like a living thing which must be cared for.

RESCUE SQUAD CANVASS AREA FOR FUND DEFICIENCY The Johnsburg Rescue squad announced this week that the building is complete other than a few minor details. This was made possible through donations and th? fine way in which pledges have been honored. Due to borrowing from the regular fund, used for the maintenance and replacement of equipment, there are no outstanding debts on the building. To replace this fund deficiency, it will be necessary for members of the squad to contact all remaining homes in the area that were not covered last year.

EV 5-2916 Open Daily 8 to 6 -- Wednesdays & Sundays 8 to 12- THE WORLD'S FINEST SUM GLASSES FARM BUREAU TO START NEW BUILDING500N -Membership Gives Approval For Financing McHenry" County Farm Bureau's new building program took a major stride toward its early June groundbreaking target date Saturday night with unanimous approval of its membership to finance construction as recommended by the board of directors. At a special meeting held in the Woodstock Methodist church, members authorized the board of directors to borrow up to a maximum of $85,- 000 to construct a new home for the county's largest farm organization. However, president Dale Noe, Marengo dairy farmer, emphasized that the board does not expect to borrow that much money because of its foresight in ear-marking money for the building program for several years and because the Farm Bureau will receive $20,000 from the sale of the present building on West Judd street. Mr. Noe remarked to the audience that when Farm Bureau moved to its present building in 1951, it had 1,420 members. Today, it has 2,275 members and the size of the staff -- as well as the many services offered-- has expanded considerably. President Noe said he was gratified with the confidence members have shown in the building program by pledging to buy more than $50,000 worth of fifteen-year debentures paying 5 percent interest per year. Farmers wishing to pledge money for this purpose should contact Henry Edgerton at once since the amount needed is about filled, Mr. Noe added. Farm Bureau plans to start calling in the debentures in five years. Reviewing the financial progress, Noe said that when a membership dues increase was made in 1956-57, Farm Bureau ear-marked part of that increase for the new building program. After a deficit in 1956 of $1,100, the increased dues and other reasons helped Farm Bureau show net profits for the following years, as follows: 1957, $6,®0; 1958, $i2,000; 1958, $9,000; and 1960, $9,000. New building committee chairman, Ralph Nichols, Hebron, described the physical features of the building and outlined some of the unique architectural attractions.
