This program is intended to not only furnish a pilot dog for a worthy blind person but to also give that recipient a scholarship or training period with the dog at the Foundation School in Indiana. The lodges of the Loyal- Order of, Moose in the state of Illinois, according to H. G. Rodenkirch, secretary, have joined forces so that several worthy blind people in the state may receive the scholarships and the dogs this year. The necessary funds to acquire logs and scholarships are gain- ?d through a methodical program of saving labels from special dog food packages. Details can be obtained from any Moose member. Labels may be turned in to members, to stores where receiving boxes are available, or at the lodge home on Rt. 120. tunities" and Linda Hawkins on "Attitude: The Ingredient For A Successful Life".

The figure 76 honOTbd the year of Independence. \ In 1912 there came into heing the twenty-fifth design of the flag with the addition of two stars for the states of Arizona and New Mexico. This flag was unchanged for fortyseven years, and eight presidents served under it. It remained until the flag of today was officially unfurled July 4, 1960. Recently, a World War II veteran wrote an item for a veterans' paper, prompted by his awareness of the respect, or lack of it, for the flag. It was titled "You Remembered!" in which the flag speaks as the embodiment of Uncle Sam. We quote in part: --I think it was Memorial Day. "I remember some time ago People were lined up on both side of the street to watch the parade. The town's high school band was in back Of me .and naturally I was leading the parade. When your daddy saw me coming along waiving in the breeze he immediately removed his hat and placed it against his left shoulder so that his hand was directly over his heart. Remember? "What happened! I'm still *iie same old flag. Oh, I've had a couple more stars added since you were^ a boy. A lot more blood has been shed since that Memorial Day so long ago. Dad is gone now. The old home town has a new look. The last time I came down your street I saw some of the old landmarks were gone, but in their place shining majestically in the sun were a number of new buildings, beautiful new homes. "But now I don't feel as proud as I used to. When I come down your street, you just stand there with your hands in your pockets and give me a small glance and then look away. Then I see the children running around and shouting. They don't seem to know who I am. I saw one man take his hat off and then look around. He didn't set* anybody else with it off so he quickly put his back on. "Is it a sin to be patriotic any more? Have you forgotten what I stand for? Have you forgotten all the battlefields where men fought and died to keep this nation free? When you salute me, you are actually saluting them. "Well, it won't be long until I'll be coming down your street again/ So when you see me, stand straight place your hand over your heart and you'll really see me waving back my salute to you. And I'll know that You Remembered!" ADDITIONAL FUNDS ARE NEEDED FOR MENTAL CENTER The presentation of the film, "David and Lisa," on May 20 'and 21 in McHenry was acclaimed by patrons of the McHenry theater for the sensitivity and warmth of the production and the development of the main theme. The portrayal of David and Lisa by the two stars, and the performance of the supporting cast was superb. The audience had an opportunity to Contribute to a worthy cause as well as enjoy one of i the best pictures produced in America in 1962. The receipts from the film will be donated to the Mental Health Center for McHenry County. Stanley Blumberg, administrative director of the Mental Health center, reports that in the coming fiscal year additional funds will be necessary to maintain the present piogram as well as to expand any of the services of the Mental Health Center since the state has reduced the amount of its grant in aid program and plans to continue this policy of reduction until the local community assumes more of its appropriate share of the mental health budget. Presently, the Mental Health Center for McHenry County is under-staffed and has long waiting lists which defeat the purpose of early diagnosis and treatment. As a result, the center is unable to accept immediate referral sources in the community such as courts, schools, doctors, families, etc., and must place applicants on the waiting list for diagnosis and treatment or refer them to private psychiatric facilities. One of the city's oldest "residents" -- your weekly Plaindealer -- observes another anniversary this month. It was eighty-nine years ago that the first weekly paper reached the homes of local readers. Much history has been made since that day so long ago, and all of it is now recorded in our files. When pages yellowed with age were threatened with complete destruction through continued handling, the many volumes were recorded on micro-film this past winter. Each week, to produce our Twice Told Tales, the films of earlier issues come to life on film. We particularly enjoy a look into the past at papers printed during the days of our founder, Editor and Publisher Jay Van Slyke. It launching a business in the keen competition of 1964 produces a challenge, what greater courage must such a venture have required in an era when there were few buyers for a service. Of all the changes which have occurred through the years, the first to bring a smile to the viewer of one of these early issues wouki-^lSe the front page covered with advertisements and the news items in the center of the paper. We're sure some of our businessmen would be happy for such prominence today, but Mas, changing times have given precedence to the exciting and not-so-exciting headlines we call news.

McHenry students who are members of the UW's class of '64 are Judith E. Hans, 1503 Lincoln road and Sara E. Wood, Route 1. BIRD CLUB MAKES UNUSUAL "FINDS" ON RECENT TRIPS SHOP IN McHENItr NOTES AND COMMENTS Strictly miscellaneous are these notes and comments about automobiles: Don't be too positive when you guess at a passing car's speed. In an Air Force test, even though the parwzmamL ticipants knew in a d v a n c e w h a t they were to observe, they judged a car actually going 12 miles per hour at various speeds ranging from 10 to 50 mph. And the American Judicature Society says witnesses to auto accidents are less likely to guess accurately. Body style, noise and color all influence estimates of a car's speed. Who says we aren't making progress? Half a century ago, horse drawn vehicles in New York City's midtown traffic averaged 11.5 mph. Today, automobiles on those same streets, average six mph. For one whole day during the Easter holiday, all the streets in Little Rock, Arkansas, were temporarily named "Easter." Before long, a car owner unable to locate his car, approached a policeman for help. "What street did you leave it on," asked the policeman? A n s w e r e d t h e m o t o r i s t : "Easter." Proof that the modern automobile is driven more than its predecessors of the past three decades is revealed in the fact that while average car life has doubled from seven to fourteen years during this time, iverage car lifetime mileage "nas quadrupled to 120.000. A survey reveals that, while mly 49 percent of male motorists buy premium gasoline. 57 percent of female motorists do. One quarter of all marriage proposals in' this county are made in automobiles. And drivers who use credit cards spend 39 percent more than those who pay cash. The McHenry County Bird club held a field trip on May 16, which thirteen members and four guests attended. The group met at the Cold Springs Schoolhouse home of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth V. Fiske on Bull Valley Road walked north on Cold Springs Road toward the Bull Valley Hunt club. An abundance of birds was found, and the previous record of number of species seen on field trip was topped, the total being sixty-two. Many species o f * F l y c a t c h e r s , S w a l l o w s , Thrushes, Warblers and Finches were seen, as well as Pintail, Blue-winged Teal, and the Black-billed Cuckoo. An Osprey, or Fish Hawk, was seen at the top of a dead tree in the Hunt club, which was a first sighting for most of the group. Another "find" was the Yellowbreasted Chat, which is a large warbler that is uncommon in this area, and was also a first for many of t he group. Coffee and sweet rolls were served by Mrs. Jack Williams, Jr., of McHenry. The next field trip will be on June 20 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Carroll, Jr., Hidden Lane, Woodstock, to observe nesting birds.
