Pag* Ham Rural Atmosphere Takes Less Prominence In Recent Years Anyone who has any doubt that the urban influence is becoming more prominent and the, rural atmosphere less evident has only to look at figures released by Supervisor of Assessments Stanley H. Cornue and studied this past week by the county board of supervisors. During the past four years, passenger autos have increased 2,847 in McHenry county with an added value of $1,- 136,140. On the other hand, many farm items have shown a downward trend. There were 47,573 cattle recorded ,a decrease of 2,403 over 1958 and a value decrease of $337,605. The value of other livestock and poultry has decreased by $28,345 and grain, hay, etc., have gone down to the extent of $80,770. The total of all property assessed in 1962 ran $386,406,990, or $13,338,370 over the previous year. The personal property valuation in McHenry township alone last year totalled $9,993,025 compared to $7,530,725 in 1958. For this township, the total assessed valuation has reached $70,261,525 compared to $57,481,975 four years previous. Here, as in the county, autos are on the increase, while some farm items continue to decrease in number. UNDER 21 A column for, teen-agers By Dan Halligan McHenry Library Corner Main and Green Sta. Ill HOURS Friday Evenings: 7 to 9 p.m. Daily, Including Saturday: 2 to 5 p.m. DEAR DAN: I've been asked to a boy's party by Jim. He said I could talk it over with my parents because it's my first boy and girl party. My parents said I could go but what do I do? What am I supposed to do when I'm with him at this party? We get along fine but I don't know how we'll get along at the party. -- First Time. DEAR FIRST TIME: Jim and you won't be alone at the party you know. There will be other couples, adult chaperoneg and games and dancing. Everything will go along quite smoothly so quit worrying and enjey yourself. DEAR DAN: I suppose you'll say I'm feeling sorry for myself but I'm not. It's just that I'm so lonely. I ran around with a wild bunch all summer and just about ruined my reputation. Well, I live in a small town and it wasn't long until none of the better kids would have anything to do with me. I learned my lesson and have been on my best behavior since October but I haven't made any friends back. The other girls are nice enough, they speak, but they never ask me to go out with them after school or things like that. The boys are all right except that the really nice ones don't ask me for dates. The only boys who want to date me are part of the wild bunch I ran with. Please help me. I'm so lonely and blue. -- E. R. DEAR E. R.: Your former friends are aware of the change for the better in you but sometimes after people haven't been overly friendly for weeks and months, it's difficult to say, "C'mon, let's be good friends again. You're lonely and I'll bet some of your friends are embarrassed. They want to welcome you back in the fold but don't know how to go about it. You may feel like you're humbling yourself a little but one of these fine afternoons, why not walk up to a group of your friends and say, "Look, I'm sorry for what happened last summer and I've been doing my best to make up for all all school year but I need friends to help me .How about it?" If I know teen-agers, especially girls, they'll look at each other In embarrassed silence for a moment, one will laugh nervously and Anally, that one brave soul will speak up for you. That will be all it will take and you'll be back with the crowd. DEAR DAN: Girls will sometimes write and tell you how one boy will monopolize their time at a dance, keeping other boys away, but the boys have a complaint too. There are some girls who go to our dances who believe that just because a guy asks them to dance at 8 o'clock, they're supposed to be with them all night. It's tough to break away from one of these girls. Don't you agree? -- Johnny. DEAR JOHNNY: After a dance is finished and you escort the girl back to her table or chair, even if she's alone, you're under no obligation to stay with her. Thank her for the dance, do an about-face and take off. DEAR DAN: My parents found out I parked with my date Friday night and practically accused me of everything under the sun. Why do so many people believe the worst when a girl and boy park? Honestly, we just talked, he kissed me twice and then he took mc home. What was wrong in that? -- L. L. DEAR L. L.: Parents who accuse their teen-agers of wrong doing when they park shouldn't have allowed their sons or daughters to date In the first place if that's all the farther they trust them. (Dan Halligan. will answer all questions submitted by teenragers and children. Address him care of this paper. For personal replies enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.) DEAR DAN: My roommate at college is always having me lie for her and I don't know what to do. The lying is bad enough but she often stays out later than she should and she wakes me up by throwing something against the window. Then I have to sneak out to the front door and unlock it for her. This has been going : on since September and she's doing a lot of drinking and I'm scared. I've told her I won't do anything else for her but she knows I will. How can I stop being used as a sap? -- Sap. DEAR SAP: Apparently the only way you can stop is move into another room. If this isn't possible, tell yourself when your girl friend gets caught, you'll probably wind up getting expelled too. You admit you're a sap and I second the motion so why not do something about It? DEAR DAN: When I take my girl friend and her girl friend home after school, should my girl sit on the outside because she gets 'out first? Her best friend lives only around the corner from me and we live three miles from my girl. -- A. J6. J. DEAR A. B. J.: I'd say yonr girl should sit in the middle- Bookmobile Books, Adult "THE PEOPLE ARE THE ( ITY", by Kenneth D. Miller ;md Ethel Prince Miller. The New York City Mission ciety -- a vision of hope ! <>rn in the squalor of slums. •om the first pastoral calls of Jans Krol and Jan Huyck in Manna-Hatin's earliest homes to the vigorous modern pastorate of the Rev. Joseph Martinez, ministering to the social as well as the spiritual needs of an ever-growing and changing population, has been a prime concern of religion in New York city. To say that the history of this work is inspiring is almost superfluous. Less apparent, and perhaps more important, are the vital lessons and illuminating parallels it offers to those who now carry on that work and seek to understand its function. "The People Are The City" may well serve as a revelation to modern New Yorkers. For those who bemoan the "flight to the suburbs" and the influx of newcomers, here is the story of post-Revolutionary Manhattan, whose early citizens were trekking westward while foreigners -- labeled incapable, uneducable, prodigal, criminal and vagrant -- were swelling its population fivefold in less than two dccades. The proud "natives" who view modern slums and their inhabitants with genteel disgust will hero meet perhaps their own immigrant forebears of a century ago, who lived fourteen to a cellar and five families to a room, served by a common outdoor pump and privy. Here too, is tiie story of unskilled labor rankly exploited and trapped in perpetual poverty, of bursting almhouses. skyrocketing indigence, aban doned children, crime, and delinquency and the troubles of people whose ways and customs were "not like ours" -- of a time when the needy foreign- born outnumbered the native population three to one! Here is history of plague and disaster, epidemic and lire, when rat catching was a regular business and such niceties as a sewage system and a central water supply were yet to come. But , most of all, this is the story of the dedicated, tireless people who -- then and now -- have devoted their lives to eradicating the evils of urban life. It is the history of those who saw a people's needs and labored to fill them -- who founded our multilingual churches, established the day schools, organized nursing services, pioneered in interracial relations, give birth to social welfare, and fought abuses of the sweat-show and the slum, the workhouse and the ward. In recounting the past laborers of the New York City Mission society, and in telling of the people and the projects carrying on its work. "The People Are Jhe City" at once places our own difficulties in perspective and outlined the challenge of remaining before us -- a challenge * headed for spring! Your hair will look its loveliest in a style created and cared for by our ex perts. Call for appointment. 3428 W.

"SOI'L OP THE LION, a biography of General Joshua L. Chamberlain, by Willard M. Wallace. "Soul of the Lion" fills the last big gap in Civil War biography. It is extraordinary that no previous life of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the hero of Little Round Top at Gettysburg, has previously appeared, for Chamberlain was a ti'uly great fighting general. There are many who hold that Chamberlain's defense of Little Round Top turned the tide at Gettysburg and thus saved the Union. Chamberlain was a bom soldier but he planned originally to be a missionary. A graduate of Bangor Theological seminary, he was an instructor in religion at Bowdoin college when the Civil War broke out and he discovered his true vocation. His career was one of exceptional gallantry. He was an officer always in the thick of battle. Fourteen horses were shot under him, and finally he was badly wounded, yet recovered to fight in the closing campaign of the War. Chamberlain's peacetime career was no less notable. Four times he was elected governor of the state of Maine, and he made a good governor. Then he became president of Bowdoin college and instituted there a progressive education policy, declaring that "we must also take hold of this which we call science, and which makes knowledge power." In 1880 Chamberlain, unarmed and alone, faced down at Augusta, . the capital of Maine, a mob that threatened to kill him. With magnificent courage, he said: "I am here to see that the laws of thjs state are put into effect . . . I am here for that and I shall do it. If anybody wants to kill me for it, here I am." Chamberlain was a State of Maine man to the marrow of his bones. He was born on a farm at Brev er, Maine, where today a big widge is named aftei" him; he vtaine-edu MOBILE BOOK ! EXHIBIT BEGINS TRAVEI. IN STATE The office of Secretary of State Charles F. Carpenter, state librarian, has announce*] a mobile book exhibit will begin traveling over the stale with a collection of new ami recently published books for children of all ages. The traveling exhibit differs from prior years in that it will be carried on a bookmobile rather than mailing it to interested organizations. Sample copies of new books are sent by publishers a fewweeks before publication to the Illinois State Library so th;. i it can make these new titles available to those in the state who would not otherwise have an opportunity to see them. The mobile book exhibit wili require little or no preparation for display by, loc-il community groups.

BI VI WIIN MASSOI It \ McHenry county is very fortunate to have a capable and qualified man as medical advisor for the Heart association in the person of Dr. Benjamin Massouda of McHenry. Some of the qualifications which make him suitable for this position are the various courses he has taken over the years to better understand heart disease in all ot its asjjects and help heart patients. In '54-'56 he had a Sterling Winthrop research fellowship in heart disease. During this time he pursued the study of the effects of hormones on arteriosclerosis. In '56-'57 with a fellowship in Toronto, he studied the mechanics of heart failure. At the present time, he is working in connection with Dr. John R. Tambone of Wo<xlstock to set up nutrition classes on a county basis or each city in the county having its own classes. Patients referred by physicians would be admitted to these classes to be taught by hospital dietitians or hnme economists from the high schools. Working with Dr. Massouda is Mr. Nitz, who is the physiotherapist at McHenry hospital and does stroke rehabilitation with patients who are referred by doctors. This man is in constant search for new means and techniques tft help heart patients. Following is an article prepared by Dr.. Massouda about "You, Your Community, and Heart Disease: "The heart i® the fist ^ized, four chambeifed pump, which in the course of a 70»year. lifetime, beats almost three billion times. It is not a delicate organ. It is tough and durable, and in the view of medical perfection, no pump created by contemporary engineering gchius can surpass it, but it is not immune to either sickness or disaster. It ijs the Nation's Number One health enemy. "Research is a persistent struggle to find the truth. Medical research seeks to discluse the hidden meaning of life, of health, of disease and of major activities for which so many Americans contribute so wholeheartedly to the American Heart association. "More than seventy-five million Heart fund dollars have already paid off in saving thousands of hearts and lives. "For lack of funds, many Heait association research projects that might provide important answers have been delayed or abandoned. We can correct this deficiency by supporting Heart fund during heart month with more and larger gifts for more research to save more hearts."
