HOLD KICK-OFF CANCER CRUSADE COUNTY DINNER Cancer is giving way to the world-wide' attack against . it, Roger Reichert, McHenry County Cancer Crusade chairman;"is expected 1 to . tell volunteer workers gathered at the annual Cancer Crusade kick-off dinner Wednesday night. The group meeting was called to hear the latest, information in the battle against this persistant killer and to receive informational literature to be distributed to families throughout the county.

Occasionally we're disappointed, but in view of the temptations, it is refreshing to see those with strength to rise above them in holding positions of service most of us would refuse. This past week McHenry lost not only one of its oldest, but one of its most gracious ladies. We had the good fortune to have become well acquainted with Miss Etta Rosenberger some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed her visits about the very early days spent in McHenry. Here was an individual blessed with little in worldly goods but an abundance of spiritual possessions that many of us might well envy. It may be premature to be thinking of summer entertainment events, but even at this early date several have been scheduled. We are speaking particularly of Drum Corps Magic, which will be held July 19, and the county junior fair, Aug. 6 through 9. Summer weather may be a bit in the future, but thoughts such as these do much to raise the spirit as spring lags. Many of lis watched with interest last spring when three MCHS students represented our school on the television program "Itii LA(?ademk1.." Again this year the spirited contest will include McHenry young folks, although the exact date on which they will appear has not been set. Selected to appear for the local school will be Mike Noonan, Chrys Levesque and Jim Benson. Eight-year-old Kristi - Ann Weyland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Weyland, has received a thank-y'ou letter from Mrs. John F. Kennedy in response to a letter of sympathy. We understand others in the community have also received similar letters. A call from Tom Huemann Monday afternoon was made to allay fears of area residents who may have experienced a cloudy appearance of their weJl water. Tom, and his father, Joseph H. Huemann, who has been dealing in wells for many, many years, are confident that the numerous complaints from persons who had never experienced any trouble before, indicates that the unsettled condition of the earth as the result of the Alaskan earthquake is probably responsible.

Resources Double The present building wa_~ completed in 1956 when the bank's resources were $11,000,- 000. It was felt then that the structure would be adequate for several years. In less than eight years resources have more than doubled and the board of directors feels that an expansion program is necessary at this time if the bank is to continue to provide excellent bank service. The first step was taken at the annual stockholders' meeting in January when a stock dividend was approved. The board of directors set April 10, 1964, as the date of the divicEerid. Oft that date stockholders of record as of April 1, 1964, will receive a 100 percent stock dividend which will increase the bank's capital to $4Q0,000. The capital combined with $600,000 surplus will give the bank a million dollars in capital and surplus.

Seventeen-year-old Sharon Cooper of 3010 W. Mary Lane, McHenry, was driving west on Rt. 120, east of the city, when she swerved to avoid striking a cat which ran in front of the vehicle. The auto left the highway and came to a stop between two trees. Sharon sustained only minor cuts, and two passengers, Linda Fowler of Pistakee Bay and Susan Rauhut of Maiy Lane, were unhurt. Only minor injuries were sustained by Raymond McCartn of Wonder Lake last Thursday afternoon when his car was forced from the road in order to avoid striking another vehicle. McCann was driving around a curve on an icy stretch of road on the Crystal Lake- McHenry blacktop, between the two cities, when the accident occurred. No one was injured when a truck driven by Clayton Krahn of Kenosha, Wis., turned and struck a culvert while travelling west on Rt. 120, ne^r the intersection of the Wonder Lake road. A car driven by Leila Dawley of Crystal Lake, just in front of the truck, slowed to turn and Krahn said that he was unable to stop on the icy pavement. In an effort to do so however, the vehicle made a U-turn and hit the culvert on the opposite side of the road.
