The squad Is composed of fifteen men and one woman. Dick Rudolph serves as president; William "Bud" Meyers as vice-president; Richard Marshal) - as__ secretary-treasurer; Elmer G. "Si" Meyers as chief; Rftbert G. Meyer as assistant chief and Lloyd Oeffling as Captain. The chaplain is Rev. Fr. John Dording. Other members are Dick Frederick, John Stone, Lee Marshall, Henry Hiller, Dick Hiller, Jerry Wakitsch, Carl Sallaz, Jerry Hettermann and Mary Hettermann. Those who attend are promised a wonderful evening of entertainment in the knowledge that they are also beinjs offered twenty-four hour service in emergencies. All members work on a volunteer basis, without pay. They have not set limit to the territory involved, but mainly serve the Johnsburg and Pistakee areas for which the unit was originally intended. They ask that in emergencies outside those locations, call should be made either to an ambulance service or fire station. In case there is no other aid available, the squad will then be glad to assist. It was intended to purchase an additional truck with the proceeds of last year's dance, but equipment and maintenance took so much of the money that the squad was forced to wait another year. COMPLETE CHANGES SHIFTING SRA DATA FACILITIES (Continued From Page 1) Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) the month, the pollen laboratories showed the count had passed the 25 grains per cubic yard, the point at which acutely susceptible {>er.sons being suffering from watering eyes and repeated sneezing. The count is scheduled to climb until sometime irv*-Sttpt ember, when it begins to taper off. The very worst time should lie right now--the last week in August--if history is any indication. Last year at this time the count reached a high of 183 grains and the year before, in 1961, the maximum was 480 on Aug. 29, considered to be high for this part of the country. Th<- real test for sufferers, however, came In 1935, when the pollon count once reached 1600 grains per cubic yard--and that's something to sneeze about! Warmer temperatures, low humidity and the breezes which carry the microscopic-sized granules are factors contributing to the high pollen counts at this time of year, scientists tell us. These counts a^e taken to aid hayfever sufferers in planning vacations and trips, and is valuable to persons moving to new climates. But the season's sneezers will tell you the real reason is to let them know how badly they feel--as if they hadn't guessed "a long time ago. ed that this number will increase In the near future. . "Rewarding Experience" "We have conducted test scoring and other operations in McHenry county for seven years," Mr. Spencer said, "and we have always found working with the. citizens and officials tjiere a most pleasant and rewarding experience. "It is my hope, and that ot the SRA management team, that we will continue to he a part 6f this community for many years to come." Donald Jacobsen, 32, director of SRA's Educational Data Services center here since 1962, has been transferred with the unit to Chicago, Spencer said. Michael Schmidt, 49, of Wonder Lake, has been named manager of the new center and will be in charge of the McHenry operation. SRA, the nation's largest commercial publisher of standardized tests, opened its first McHenry county facility in a small store in West McHenry in 1956. Later, additional space was acquired in Woodstock and Lakemoor. These activities were consolidated in 1961 when the company opened a new 42,000 square foot, air-conditioned center on Sheridan road. WONDER LAKE COUPLE HEAD COUNTY DRIVE World War I Buddies Meet (Continued from page 1) Those long awaited freedom days called vacations are almost at an end in our own office, as well as many others, and the reports are not encouraging for those few individuals who are sti'.l dreaming of a few days away from the alarm clocks. The first vacation in our establishment belonged to a young homemaker who found it necessary to take at least one week for house cleaning and happily returned to the less rigorous duties of an office job. The two vacations that followed were routine, and complaints of boredom accompanied the return to work. This was only a start. One of our ladies took off some time to spend with her husband on his vacation and the results were unfortunate. A shopping tour ended in the theft of several large purchases from their car, and the following weekend a billfold was stolen while they were attending a theatre in a neighboring city. Still another vacation ended in two weeks spent in the Army. The most recent vacation had a different, but unpleasant ending, with most of the time being spent in the hospital following an accident. It may be a little difficult to get our folks here at the Plain dealer to take a vacation another year. what was then the 3rd Illinois regiment, Illinois N a ti o n a 1 Guard. The men formed part of the largest over-land troop movement ever attempted at that time, the march of a strength division, with full equipment, totalling 206 miles. During this march in connection with Mexican Border duty, they hiked from Camp Wilson to Austin, Texas, and had the reputation of not having a man drop out on the entire hike. Leave For Overseas On May 2 of 1918 they left for overseas service, arriving at IJoboken, N. J., to go aboard the U.S.S. Troop Ship Covington and arriving in Brest, France, on May 23. Quarantined for scarlet fever at a camp about three miles north of Brest, they later went to Abbeville seetoi- for training with the British expeditionary^forces and then to the Amioriff sectoi for training with the Australians, working with their gun teams and participating in defensive and harassing machine gun fire for the first time. The 129th infantry machine gun company saw active duty with the French and English armies,,as well as the American army, and saw action in such well known sections as Verdun, Dead Man's Hill, Hill 304 and the Meuse Argonne. They participated in the Somme, St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne offensives, along with some of the defensive sectors. Army Of Occupation From Dec. 7, 1918, to April of 1919, after the Armistice, their division was assigned to the 2nd Army of Occupation, with headquarters in Ettelbruck, Luxemburg. The newly elected president, Tom Ruddy, is now district manager of Stephens-Adamson Mfg. Co., Mr. Swanson is general purchasing agent for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company, and Mr. Hoffman is associated with Goldman, Sachs Co. investment house. Next year's meeting will be held at the home of William Sommers in Lincolnwood, 111. TAX DEADLINE Taxpayers are reminded that Sept. 1 is the deadline for payment of the second installment of real estate taxes. However, because that date falls on Sunday, and the following day is a holiday, the deadline has been extended to Sept. 3, after which there will be a 1 per cent per month penalty imposed. Deadline for the first installment of real estate taxes and for all personal property payment was June 1. O.RANT CHARTER A charter was granted to Richmond Plastics, Inc., (William W. Guffey, Gladys Guffey and John J. Kaufman» to manufacture, sell, purchase and deal in all products relating • A Wonder Lake couplc, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Fuhrer, who have lost their two children through cystic fibrosis, are McHenry county chairmen of the annual fund drive for that disease. Between Sept. 1 and 15, many local women will be knocking on doors asking for donations for this worthy cause. Although CF still is not as well known as many other children's diseases, it is the most chronic pulmonary disease affecting children, and the No. 2 disease killer. Statistics now show that one out of every 600 babies born has cystic fibrosis, with half of these victims dying before they are 5. The National CF foundation Labor Day, that paradoxical holiday on which most folks rest in spite of its name, is promised as a particularly happy occasion for most Illinois residents this year. It was revealed this past week that more persons are working in our state than ever before, and at higher wages. The unemployment rate is below the national average and the rates in other industrial states. Nevertheless, there are still about 190,000 persons unemployed, which is a substantial figure and prevents any relaxation on a serious problem. Everything may grow big in Texas, but we doubt if their petunias can top the one which grows, in the gardeq^of Mrs. C. Wallin of 4123 W. Crystal Lake road. So surprised was Mrs. Wallin when she saw the giant flower last week that she measured it and found it was 67 inches high. Now that's a good size even for Texas!

As a young man, Mr. Engvalson entered the advertising field in his native Chicago, where he owned his own agency. He also served as secretary and treasurer of the Harry Atkinson agency until his interest turned to construction and development. While in advertising, he became very active in radio work, acting as copyrighter and also arranging numerous programs. In the latter role, he was responsible for giving some of today's leading entertainers an opportunity for their start in show business. The deceased was a charter member of the McHenry hospital and on the board of directors, a director of the Naples- Fort Myers Kennel Club, a member of the McHenry Country club and the Collier County Historical Society. He was a 32nd Degree Mason and a member of the Elks Club in Woodstock. Mr. Engvalson was born Oct. 24, 1901, in Chicago.

SET BOUNDARIES OF COLLEGE AREA SAME AS COUNTY The junior college citizens' committee has decided to recommend that the community college area be identical with that of the boundaries of McHenry county. The committee feels that the McHenry County College is a county project and that including the entire county will lend unity of purpose to the project. A meeting will be held Sept. 23 in the Woodstock high school auditorium. The high school boards of McHenry county and the superintendents of the high school districts will be given a full report of the Community College Citizens committee which has represented them in making the county survey. Robert Birkhimer, junior college consultant to the office of state superintendent of public instruction will be present. Petitions are being drawn up and will be available on or before Sept. 23. The completed petitions will then be transmitted, with the survey, to the county superintendent of schools. The county superintendent will then forward these docucents to the state superintendent of public instruction. These two departments, county and state, will then cooperate in reviewing the facts regarding the area described in the survey. If the reaction of both departments is favorable then the county superintendent shall announce a public hearing. At the close, the county superintendent shall render a decision either granting or denying the petition for the referendum. HOME DAMAGED BY FIRE; PATROL BOAT ALSO BURNS (Continued From Page 1) In addition to company 1, members of Company 2 and,. the Fox Lake and Spring Grove a?* partments were called to the scene. About $200 damage was reported to the sheriff's water patrol boat last Thursday night. Members of Company 1 were called to North Bridge Marine, where it was tied to a pier, about 10:45 o'clock after Ray Henschel had called in the alarm. Cause of the fire was not known, but an investigation is in progress.
