He stated he was happy to learn that one of these had already been Adopted and that was to make the membership democratic open to anyone interested in collecting and preserving the history of Mc- Henry county. The size' of a building does not always indicate the successful museum, he said. One of the finest and most Successful displays of Civil War material was put on by a small town and its success was due to every item in the display having something to do with a citizen of that community or his or her ancestors.

Horace Wagner of Wonder Lake had a number of reproductions made and mounted and dias presented one to the socieV along with a brochure of the history of Wonder Lake area. This was compiled through the joint efforts of the Wonder Lake Fire department, the Klwanfs club of Wonder Lake Area and the Wonder Lake Chamber of Commerce. The mqp has pictures of outstanding homes and buildings along the borders of the map. The first gift pf artisan tools consisting of carpenter and joiner's tools was presented to the society at this meeting. They were used by Cornelius Floientius Lemmers who built the original spring house on the square in Woodstock.

Someone left a copy on the table at the meeting of Devore's Interest Tables for the computing of interest for a year of 360 days and the book is then turned over and the other half is computed on a year of 365 days. The book has no inscription in it as to who had owned it, nor does the publisher give a date. The society needs more information to properly catalog and credit the donor. Mrs. Wm V Haynes of Mc- Meory called the president of the society and stated the drug store in McHenry had some black and white picture postcards of early scense of McHenry and Pistakee area and she would donate.

C LOSED ON SUNDAYS USE THE FREE (iRKKN STREET PARKING AREA LEGION LADIES FOCUS ATTENTION ON SCHOLARSHIPS During the observance of American Education Week, the American Legion auxiliary focused on its education and scholarship program. According to the auxiliary's local chairman of this activity, Lenore Cooley, now is the time for high school students to begin planning for their higher education. She advises that hundreds of young people have not taken advantage of the' generous college and vocational scholarship available, due to a failure to plan for their education. She mentioned in particular the Junior GI Bill which provides up to $110 per month for four years of educational help for sons and daughters of veterans who lost their lives as the result of military service. Over half of the young peole eligible for this help have failed to apply. Among other scholarships offered by the American Legion auxiliary are ten National President's scholarships of $1,- 000 each. Candidates for these are girls who are children of Wars I and TI and the Korean conflict in the senior class in high school and in need of financial assistance to continue their education. Applications for this scholarship should be submitted to the president of the local auxiliary unit no later than March 1, 1964. Illinois' own opportunity scholarships are awarded by the auxiliary loan fund board of trustees, which supervises student loans, and are in the amounts of $600 and 350, given on the same basis as the national scholarships. In the event an Illinois entrant wins a national scholarship, the opportunity scholarships are awarded to second and third place winners in the state. These "gift" scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Entrants must submit a letter of application and other required data. Rules governing the requirements may be ob- Walter Johnson of Minneapolis, Minn., were weekend guests of Mrs. Lillian Huck.

Other American Legion and auxiliary scholarships and educational aids, including auxiliary's student loan fund, at well as information about hundreds of college and vocational scholarships for qualified high school students are listed in "Need A Lift." This annually revised publication for the 1963-64 school year is recognized as one of the most complete and up-to-date sources of career and scholarship information in the United States. The handbook does not limit its listings to children of veterans but contains scholarships and educational aids which are Available to all students. Copies of "Need a Lift?" have been presented to the McHenry Community high school and the McHenry public library by Mfc- Henry Unit 491. Experience has proven that plans for higher education should begin during the student's sophomore year in high school. The boy or girl who starts considering career and scholarship sources early, is the one with the best chance of going on to college. Parents and students are encouraged to make use of the copies of "Need A Lift?" provided as a service to the community. The publication, prepared by the American Legion's education and scholarship program, National Americanism division in Indianapolis, is now in its twelfth edition with distribution of more than three quarter of a million copies since its first issue in 1951. <0 If George could return to his City, and see hie mess things are in (traffic, parking, crime, prices, and congressmen-ingeneral) we imagine he'd suggest a change in the name. FARM ADVISER TELLS WINNER IN PICKER RACE If you have a corn picker accident this fall, there are reasons. You were trying to beat a machine. But mere than that, there were some strong odds "stacked" against you, says county farm adviser Ralph Burnett. Here are some of them: A stalk of corn goes through the snapping rolls at a speed of 7 feet per second. And it's an established fact that you will need .4 of a second to simply react - and let go of a corn stalk. This means that a stalk goes about 3 feet through the rolls while you are reacting to the danger The first reaction when a stalk suddenly starts through the rolls is most naturally the wrong one, says Burnett. The natural reaction when someone tries to grab a stick away from you is to grab tighter. The effect is to more than double the reaction time before you can let go. So the simple reason why you get caught in snapping rolls is that you don't understand your natural reaction time. And it's a basic failing of all humans, not just farmers In particular. If you try to unclog or adjust a cornpicker without first stopping it, you are taking about the same chances as if you walked across a busy fourlane highway blindfolded. TRAFFIC TOLL October traffic deaths in Illinois totaled 191, an increase of two over the same month last year, according to figures compiled by the Division of Highways. The 10-month 1963 death toll now stands at 1,635, an increase of 9 per cent over the same period of 1962.
