JUNIOR COLLEGE GROUP STUDIES SCHOOL VISIT (Continued from pip I) Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) meeting. It was hoped that many in addition to school officials, the clergy, law and webfare personnel would be present to learn more about conditions as they exist, and the methods suggested to combat delinquency. Spc-aking of law enforcement, McHenry has taken steps to provide added protection and assistance to the public, particularly in the business sections. Charles Bolster of Wonder Lake, who previously helped on holiday weekends, has been assigned to special patrol to assist with traffic and in other ways at times when most needed in the shopping areas. The plan gives the patrol car and the other officers an opportunity to devote time to the outlying sections of the city, various sub-committees will be presented. Skeen told the general session that Thornton Junior college has a current enrollment of about 700 day-students. Established in 1927, its present tuition costs are $75 a semester for residents of the district and $250 for students outside the district. Has Waiting List "Even with a comparatively high tuition for students outside the district, the college enrolls a good many outsiders," he said. 'The college also has a waiting list of 100 students." A comprehensive curriculum is offered at Thornton, he continued, including terminal programs in business secretarial, medical secretarial, industrial electronics technology, and mechanical technology. About 75 per cent of Thornton's graduates continue their education at a four-year college. Skeen said that the college's officials indicated the school's most important function was to provide a college preparatory program. Educational facilities of Bloom Community college, Skeen said, are housed In a modern $400,000 plant separate from the high school. Classrooms, combination classroomlaboratories, administrative offices, library, and a student lounge are located in the building. Enrollment is 381 day and 400 evening students. At Bloom, the primary emphasis is on a college preparatory course. However, a terminal course for dental technicians is also offered. Skeen reported a vivid contrast in the physical facilities of the two colleges., Thorfiton classrooms are Ideated |0njihe top floors of older sections* of the high school and also in separate temporary buildings. Some facilities for vocational courses are shared with the high school. Tabulate Questionnaires William Tittle of Woodstock, population sub-committee chairman, reported that returns from two questionnaires are being tabulated. The occupational survey, submitted by firms employing ten or more persons, will describe the type of positions in each company and reveal whether two years of training after high school would supplement existing in-plant training or educational programs. In the other survey, rural and nonrural residents are being asked for their opinions about the need for community college educational facilities in McHenry county. About 300 rural town residents are being interviewed on a random basis, he said. Educational goals of junior and senior high school students and recent high school graduates in the area,are being determined through questionnaires. Results of both questionnaires will reveal post-high school educational needs within the county, according to Richard Taylor of Woodstock, curriculum sub-committee chairman. Stanley Comue of Hebron, reported that the Finance subcommittee is gathering data on the number of McHenry county high school students, history of past educational referenda, tax rates, assessed valuation, educational costs, and per capita costs of educating students in Illinois public junior colleges outside Chicago. Dr. Ogilivie said that preliminary survey reports aro scheduled for a meeting on June 17. Recommendations for the final report are expected to be made June 26. During the summer, the final report will be prepared and printed ana will be presented to the Citizen's committee in September. The next meeting of the committee will be held May 15. While it isn't common procedure to deal with a serious problem in a light-hearted way, sometimes it has its value. At. least the National Safety Council has found that telling of amusing-to-read stories alerts a wide audience to unexpected dangers they might encounter. During 1962 there were several that merit repeating. In California, people rushed to the scene of a smashed fireplug and found much more. A column of water was rising in the aid and a small car was balanced like a ping pong ball atop the water, four feet off the ground. It took eight men to steady the vehicle long enough for the passenger to get out--then they let go. The car shot fifteen feet in the air, flipped over and crashed into the street. It was in North Carolina that a man get a kirg-size shock as he drove along Blue Ridge parkway. A big, black bear charged into his car, bashing in the left front fender, then headed back into the woods. In Italy it was a lively colt that caused trouble. A young Italian was driving his convertible down a road when a colt dropped into the seat beside him. It had bolted from a farmer, jumped onto the passenger Car and crashed through the canvas roof. Neither driver nor colt was injured. These are the kind of accidents we prefer reporting--nc injuries, just laughs!

When people see an advertisement in print, they can compare designs . . . features . . . and prices of nationally known products and services. (And people do compare before they buy.) Advertising in print is a handy thing. You can always check back; the message is still there even if your attention is distracted. When you add it up, print advertising--the kind you read in this newspaper--makes sense. And because it measures up to the buying habits of most consumers, print makes sales.
