They are planning an open house later this winter. School Rated Superior Like most landmarks which serve the public, ^he history of the old Itingwood school rings a nostalgic note among old timers. One of its proudest moments came in 1930 when t h e two-room elementary school received its diploma as a superior school at dedicatoi-y exercises. The honor, highest to be achieved by a rural school, followed an inspection tour of the county by T. Ar- OVER 300 DAIRY FARMERS HEAR A. L.

The estimated cost to the government is $500 million in supporting milk prices during the year ending this March 31, and next year the cost may be $600 million. Seek Solution In order to find some solution, the secretary of agriculture appointed a dairy advisory committee to develop a supp 1 y management program which could be submitted to dairy farmers as an alternative to lower prices, and Mr. Mc- Williams is a member. The following were the basic recthur Simpson of Springfield, ommendations made: 1 -- That supervisor of rund schools of dairy farmers be given an opnorthern Illinois.

The ability of the teacher was also required to pass inspection of the state department. At that time, Mrs. Arline Pearson and Roland McCannon were instructors. Later, Mr. McCannon was named county superintendent of schools. Through t he kindness .of Mrs. Pearson, names were made available of some of the teachers who instructed at the school, extending back about sixlv-five years. They included tion areas; price-support funds be used to purchase and retire enough base to bring supply into balance with effective demand. Optimistic Over Plan Mr. McWilliams said it is his opinion that if such a plan were approved by dairy farmers, supply and demand could be brought into balance in one year at a cost which would be a fraction of present price-support programs.

All parents of students in the junior and senior classes of the high school are invited to attend. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss plans now in progress in regard to the prom and Club Afterglow, which will be held late this spring. Among those planning to attend will be Harry May, president of the Senior class, who will enlighten jparents on plans for the post-prom party? Alsr present will He Jim Marshall, junior class president, who will discuss the prom itself, which is a project of the junior class to honor the seniors. These two young men will be accompanied by the other officers and a few selected students from each class. Due to the size of each class, it is impossible to invite all members. Others present will be members of the faculty, school board, civic groups and others who have always played an active part in this event.

MAKE PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR SUMMEF ART FAIR FEB. 1 The first meeting of all in terested persons in the 1962 Country Art Fair, sponsored by the woman's auxiliary to McHenry hospital, will be held at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 1, in the conference room of the hospital, 3516 W. Waukegan road. All past exhibitors are invited to attend this meeting to discuss new ideas and approaches to the 1961 fair.

The steer was sold at auction following the Chicago show. Harold Woody, Sr., is manager of the farm. The McHenry County Association for Retarded Children will have its regular monthly meeting Monday, Feb. 5, at I p.m. at Clarence Olson school in Woodstock. An evaluation of the progress made by the students in the parent-operated school in Wonder Lake will be made, and goals for the remainder of the school year discussed. The meeting is open to the public. "We are greaily encouraged by the recent promise of another EMH and a trainable room to be started in the county next fall", said Mrs. Joseph Huff, president of the organization. "We want to keep in mind, however, that neither of these rooms will benefit the students in our Wonder Luke classroom, by and large. There will be continuing need for a parent-opcruted room in the classrooms, and those who do not qualify, for any of a number of reasons, to the rigid rules of the tax supported classroom. ' Even as the little red school house in Springfield, or Countryside school in Barrington take care of the mentally retarded who are not eligible for lax supported classrooms, bu^ who are not institutional patients such as are cared for at Dixon, so there is need in Mc- „ Henry county for a classroom supported by private contribution. With the promised "population explosion" this need can only grow. "The minstrel show which the Wonder Lake Kiwanians are sponsoring to benefit our teacher fund is one of the ex^ amples of how the community can help, boih as a sponsor and as individuals attending the show. The time is 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11, at Harrison school."
