Sullivan had more friends in his home city of Woodstock and throughout the county than probably any other individual. He had been employed by the Sentinel for forty-two years, much of that time as its editor. The friends acquired through other associations were also legion. A World War I veteran, he was one of the organizers of the Pete Umathum Legion post in Woodstock, was past commander of the post and of the county Legion. He also was past Eleventh district commander and past senior vice-commander of the 2nd division of the state of Illinois. Among other interests, Sullivan was past president of the Woodstock Country club, secretary of the Knights of Columbus and officer of the B.P.O.E. (Elks) for many years. He held life memberships in the Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Woodstock Country club, Knights of Columbus and Elks. This genial and able man was also a fourth degree, Knights of Columbus member and belonged to the Moose, V.F.W., 40 et 8 and the Lions club. Sullivan maintained an untiring interest in his chosen career of writing in spite of advancing years. He was a member of the Associated Press and a past president of the Sports Writers association of Illinois. His sports column in the Sentinel was widely read for years and was credited with inspiring young athletes of many generations During World War II, his community service included for a short period the position of city clerk of Woodstock. Probably the biggest night in a lifetime filled with memories came last June 8 when George Sullivan Night was held in his home city, sponsored by all organizations as a tribute to one of their own townsmen who had contributed so greatly to his community over a long period of years It was at that time that among other awards, he was presented with a watch and announcement was made that he was being named "citizen of the year" by the Lions club. In 1962, he served as marshal of the VJ day parade in Woodstock. The deceased was born June 10, 1893, in Hartland township, son of the late John and Margaret Butler Sullivan. He is survived by his wife, Mabel, and a sister, Mrs. Norbert Yegge, of McHenry. Three brothers, Adelbert, William and John, preceded him in death. The body rested at the Schneider Leucht funeral home until 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, when Mass was sung in St. Mary's Catholic church. Interment was in the church cemetery, overlooking the Little League field which was named in his honor George Sullivan field.

Stanley Cornue reviewed the studies made by the finance committee. Their part of the survey covered various sources of revenue needed for a commounity college and the availability of these revenues. Among the areas covered were state and federal aid. Tuition revenues used by other junior colleges in the state and nation were compared. The average in such colleges is $150, which has been recommended locally. Mr. Cornue also explained qualifying requirements such as population, assessed valuations and present tax rates already imposed by other governing bodies that come under the realm of their studies. Operational Cost It has been estimated that the operational cost for the college for home owners would be between $12 and $15 a year, based on 14 cents for each $100 assessed valuation. It is recommended that the cost per student for operation would be limited to $1,000. However, any final decision on many of these issues lies with the board of education which will be elected if the college referendum meets approval. Stuart Hughes, chairman of public relations committee, in a summary of the various material gleaned by the other- committees, gave a talk presented to the audience in much the same manner that his committee proposes to speak before organizations or groups of voters who would care to learn more about the proposed college. His twenty-minute summary was followed by a question and answer period. Others called on for remarks, or who were introduced were Richard Tazewell, county superintendent of schools; Robert Birkheimer, advisor on junior colleges to the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the state of Illinois. These two offices must approve the surveys before the college issue can be presented to the voting public. Others present were Rep. A. B. McConnell, Dr; William Oglivie, general chairman of the Northern Illinois university consulting team and curriculum study advisor; Dr. Ralph Belnap, NIU building and site study advisor; Dr. Robert Gorley, NIU finance advisor; and Don Peterson, NIU publicity advisor. McHenry's school district was represented by the following board members: Vale Adams, Robert. Beckenbaugh, Carl Neiss, Donald Weingart, Supt. Carl Buckner and Assistant Supt. M. L. Schoenholtz; also Earl Lawrence. ed unbelieving that all of this had happened to him. George was the last of a trio of men who carried on the finest tradition of newspaper editing for many years in the county seat. He was a close friend of Charles H. Renich and A. H. Mosher of the Woodstock Sentinel and later of the McHenry Plaindealer. Mrs. "Mose" probably summed it up best upon learning of George's death with this remark: "I'll just bet the three of them are having a real fine reunion up there tonight!" We knew she was right, and we could only wish we might have been there to hear the reminiscing. With George's death comes the realization that we take his place as having the longest full time writing career on county newspapers. It isn't too .difficult to cover a span of time--our hope might be that we could put into our years all of the friendliness, loyalty, and service to others that made Sullivan's life such a rewarding experience. . • of the day when visibility is so limited they are needed for safety, and always between sunset and sunrise.

FOUR EARN TITLES IN SUMMER CANDY STRIPER PROGRAM YOUNG LECTURER TO APPEAR FOR McHENRY CLUB The Dinner Lecture club of McHenry opens its second season on Saturday, Oct. 12, when Grant C.

Through the peanut sale and other activities of the club, members have been able to cosponsor Club After-Glo and an all sports banquet, give medical care to needy children, high school scholarships, merit awards to grade school students, awarding trips to Boys State, aid to Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts, and donations to many other worthwhile activities. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Nielson of Wodded Shores, Wonder Lake, are convinced of the honesty and integrity of teen-agers as evidenced by their recent experience with a young Lakeland Park man last week. Mr. Nielson had gone hunting at Wonder Lake after purchasing a license two weeks ago. On arriving home, he found the license had been lost in the woods, and held little hope for its recovery. Naturally, he was surprised when he received a telephone call from Ray Fisher of Lakeland Park, telling him he had found the license bearing Nielson's name, and was returning it. The use of parking lights while driving is now a violation of the law, motorists have been warned. The only time they may be legally used by themselves is when a vehicle is at a standstill.

Interested persons may contact Mrs. John^ Varese for further information. Mr. Butler, a major in the Air Force Reserve, began his writing career as a sports writer for the Chicago Herald- American. His short stories and articles have appeared in many well known publications. He formerly lived in Saudi Arabia and spent ten years in the domestic and foreign oil industry as a public relations executive. SHOP IN McHENRY The Candy Striper program has just concluded a very rewarding summer, with fortyeight girls working in this capacity at the McHenry hospital. Four of the girls have earned the title of senior Candy Striper: Michelle Moriarity, Patricia Morrison, Georgia Foerster and Linda Larson, each having given more than 250 volunteer hours to the hospital. Members of this organization are girls 14 years or older and at least established freshmen in high school. Their work is strictly voluntary, with their greatest rewards \coming from skills they learn, friends they make, with the patients and hospital personnel, and in the knowledge that they are using their time and engergy for a very worthy cause--their community hospital. Over the past summer the program attracted girls from Barrington, Cary, Ingleside, Woodstock, Hebron, Wauconda, Lake Zurich, Crystal Lake and, of course, McHenry. One of the Candy Stripers was a summer resident from Skokie. They are sponsored by the woman's auxiliary to the hospital, who hope through this program to attract girls to , nursing and allied fields of ' medicine. " It is required that anyone working as a Candy Striper complete a two lecture course. The next one will be given from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, Oct. 12 and 19, in the hospital dining room. Anyone interested in joining may obtain an application at the switchboard of the hospital, which should be sent to Mrs. Peter Griesbach, 3705 W. Clover avenue, McHenry, as soon as possible.

One of these was in opposition to deficit financing at both state and national levels, while another called for a flat rate state income tax, with the money to support local government within a county. Robert Gardner retired after several years as director and Don Majors of Richmond was chosen to replace him. Reelected, among others, was James Curran of Nunda. In the main address of the evening, Leonard Gardner, special assistant to the IAA president, explained the organization's opposition to the proposed federal tax cut. He explained further that the Farm Bureau would be happy for such a cut, but that deficit spending is unsound and the promise to use caution with expenditures does not follow actions to date. Reporting to members, President Dale Noe commented that the strong wheat referendum defeat and the adoption of a group life insurance plan were two highlights of the past year for the Farm Bureau. On Oct. 16, at 11:45 Mi, the women's auxiliary to McHenry hospital will hold its annual fall luncheon meeting at the Abbey in Fontana, Wis. Mrs. Harry Stinespring of McHenry will be the speaker. She will show slides and speak about her trip around the world. A car pool is being arranged. Members may meet in the parking lot of McHenry hospital at 10:45 a.m. Guests will be welcomed. Reservations can be made through the Pink Lady Shoppe or with Mrs. Betty Strout of Crystal Lake, phone 459-3613. There will be reports of the country Art Fair, the rummage sale and the card party. The various guilds will also report on their activities. Awards will be given to„ the many loyal volunteers who have contributed so generously of their time in service to the hospital during the past year. We hope you will be able to attend this meeting, which promises to be very exciting as well as informative. OVERHEATED FURNACE Firemen from Company I were called to the Vernon Ficken home at 4310 W.
