The 1963 edition erf the telephone directory is being mailed to Illinois Bell customers here and in a number of McHenry county communities, according to W. R. Brown, area manager. Alphabetical listings of most McHenry county telephones appear in separate directories for Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo and Union, McHenry and Woodstock. Each of th£se versions has its own classified, or "Yellow Page," section. "The increase in the number of directories we're sending out this year, compared with 1962, indicates the rapid growth the area," Brown said. More than 31,000 copies will be required this year to supply all area phones, Brown reported, compared with some 29,000 in 1962. This year's four-color cover illustration is in the' shape of the state of Illinois. It shows a family phoning from a roadside booth near a state park with the suggestion to "vacation in Illinois." £ "Before you throw away your old directory," Brown suggested, "fold back tbe covers and give is a good shaking. Telephone books have a way of accumulating everything from baby photos to stock certificates between their pages." + TWICE TOLD TALES * Present Tragic War Play For Public On Sunday afternoon, April 28, at 3 o'clock in the Woodstock Opera House, the Workshop Lab of Carpentersville will present its production of Euripides' great tragedy about war, "The Trojan Women."

The force: More than 500 volunteer workers in the county's townships, geared to deliver the "take care of yourself" message of the American Cancer society and to seek funds to finance the organization's broad program of research, service and education. The project is the annual Cancer Crusade, given an enthusiastic impetus within a hard-hitting talk by Thomas Baab at the kick-off meeting in Woodstock last week. Baab, executive director of the Illinois division of the American Cancer society, told the workers they are a prime source of disseminating information to the public. "Because of you some people will respond to the call to go to a doctor and to watch for the seven danger signals." Roger Reichert of Crystal Lake, Cancer Crusade chair man for the second year, said the 1963 dollar goal is $15,000 Last year $11,000 was raised, but he noted more workers have been lined up and the public's understandinf of the value of contributions to boost the ACS' research program is better understood.
