Christmas Seal Campaign Opens Twenty-five thousand letters containing Christmas seals have been mailed to homes, businesses and industries in McHenry county by the McHenry County Tuberculosis association.

COMPLETE FINAL COLLEGE NIGHT PLANS AT MCHS Musin' & Meandtiin' (Continued Fro n Page 1) (Continued From Page 1) We wilL/fhissviis visits and recollections of days which have omy a hazy memory for many of us. e understand a few deer hafe been shot during the pa$t week in the vicinity around McHenry. This is the first year deer hunting locally has been allowed by the state, and it was one of the new laws we would have beon happy to have had a vote against. At the risk of offending avid hunters, wc can't quite go along with shooting these beautiful animal:- which only in recent year; have become numerous enough so that we occasionally see one while riding. There are arguments on thr other side, to be sure, and maybe we feel so strongly because we have difficulty in killing anything bigger than a fly or a mosquito. Whatever the reason, the deer in the McHenry area are safe at least from some of us who are pleased to see this bit of rural life in the midst of a growing human population. which has grown quickly in popularity with parents of McHenry children. Always in the past, it was necessary to visit the college or university in order to make a proper choice of schools. This proved costly and time-consuming. In bringing the colleges to McHenry, the High School P.T.A. feels it is fulfilling one of the purposes of the Parent Teacher association. The program Thursday is open to all who are interested, including any student of the junior or senior classes who wishes to attend. Refreshments will be served by the junior class mothers, whose chairman is Mrs. Lillian Larsen. Fred Fradinardo, president of the P.T.A. has announced that a very short business meeting will follow the college program. Friends and relatives of a former McHenry resident, Howard Phalin, were interested in television and newspaper publicity this past week concerning the fund drive for ovfer $9,000,- 000 for Mercy hospital building expansion, which he heads.

Phalin, executive vice-president of Field Enterprises Educational Corp. will be in charge of the public solicitation for the project which began last Thursday.
