FRONT STREET "Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what^ydu can do for your country." This now famous plea for self-sacrifice sounded by President Kennedy on the day of his inauguration, provoked a lot of applause in Washington and elsewhere in the country. Amid the hearty agreement, however, it is sometimes easy to overlook the fact that private deprivation for public good is not something coined by the New Frontier. It is a noble tradition of long-standing in the United States. And recent proof of this can be found on just the other side of the Lake-McHenry County line in the rapidly growing town of McHenry. There, a great deal of old-fashioned sacrifice is yielding a fine hospital urgently needed to care for the sick and injured among the 50,000 persons residing in McHenry and its surrounding region. The hospital was founded in 1956 on a modest scale. It consisted of a group of doctor's offices and some hospital beds and treatment facilities. Still, almost 7,000 patients have been admitted and approximately 6,500 accident cases have been treated sinoe the hoflk pital first opened its doors. Now, McHenry Hospital is expanding. In April, an 18-bed addition was dediaated, bongiag tii* total bed aount to 38 and permitting for the fint a maternity department. EventeaJly, it to hogssd tbe hospital will to 90 beds. The compelling part of the atory, however, is Md fe beds and teielxa and medical equipment. It iB rather of how civic cooperation and @®nc@m produced tbe mor@ tfean $402),©Q0> mealed/ to build the recent addition. Part of the money, about $125,000, waa traceable to the generosity of citiaeao oad organizations which held spsciol raising events. The rest came im tSa® fonn /of IdaqB, the repayment of wMel were personally guaranteed by the Ima* pital'B directors, all persons of grsat faith and community stature.
