Section Onl *-• Pigi Eight THE McKENitY PLAZNDEALEn Novsmbt' 12* 1964 Maun' & Meanderin' (Continued from Fagc 1) MORE ELECTION RETURNS ARE MADE KNOWN ore the National Education association, the American Legion, National Congress of Parents and Teachers and the i3. S. Office of Education. Locally, much has been done by citizens who are becoming better informed on problems in the McHenry schools through their service on advisory boards to both Districts 15 and 156. tThese people have learned through a concentrated study of conditions over the past few weeks about the No. 1 problem in this community -- the need for adequate space to provide for rapidly increasing enrollments at all levels. Many of the things they are learning will be offered to the general public in the months ahead in an effort to determine the most efficient and economic methods of meeting the problem. In the meantime, throughout our nation, the little red schoolhouse is acquiring a new look. Architects and educators are cooperating to construct flexible buildings suitable for use for the next fifty to 100 years. Research has proved that learning is an individual matter. Modern schools provide more individual. working space for teachers and students. Sliding walls allow additional learning space adaptable to team teaching. Buildings are larger; new lighting techniques and modern materials are used; noise and congestion have been eliminated. All of the enrollment problems are not in grade and high schools. Even now colleges are noting the same conditions, and a projection gives an estimated climb of 71 per cent by 1975. In Illinois, the college eligible group will increase by more than 236,000 to an 822,- 283 total. It appears that educators --- and for that matter," everyone interested in education in all Walks of life -- have their work ahead of them in the years that follow if they are opportunities for iontsa 8nalgd to provide advanced educational opportunities for generations of young people eager to learn. We talked to Superintendent of Public Works Fred Meyer Monday and he said city workmen were busy getting equipment ready for winter. With temperatures hovering near the 70 degree mark, we asked, "Why the hurry?" The answer we received indicates that McHenry employees are something akin to me squirrels in their motto of preparedness, and maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea for all of us in these days of beautiful autumn- Mothers and dads who are often driven out of soilnd of their offsprings' record favorites would have been surprised and probably unbelieving if they watched these same yoiing people "dig in" to tlie classics at the county fall music festival now in preparation. It would have given many an oldster a renewed faith in the cultural taste of their sons and daughters to have watched them hard at work for three hours at Marengo high school lkst Sunday. A similar work session is in prospect for almost 100 young people this Sunday, followed by several hours the following day in preparation for the Nov. 16 choral festival. A note from the Ed. Nardis of Brookfield Center, Conn., formerly of Shalimar subdivision, McHenry, tells of missing the news of this community and asking for a subscription to be sent. They enjoyed a visit recently from the Stan Bjorkmans of McHenry, who helped them catch up on happenings here. As proud father, Charles Jacobson, called to let us share his enthusiasm over the birth of their first daughter on Veterans Day, it was only natural that in keeping with his talents as a comic he would quip: "It will probably be a good many years before she realizes they're not closing the schools just for her." K. A. F. Doctors And Lawyers Hear Dr. Hesseltine Dr. H. Close Hesseltine, professor of O. B. gynecology at the University of Chicago, will be the principal speaker at the McHenry County Medical society meeting on Nov. 19, 1964 Dr. Hesseltine is chairman of the National Council for the A c c r e d i t a t i o n o f N u r s i n g Homes and Joint Commission of Accreditation of Hospitals. He is also consultant to the A.M.A. committee on insurance and the medicolegal committee. This will be a joint meeting on the McHenry county, pyhsicians and the lawyers, beginning with a dinner at Martinettis in Crystal Lake. fContinued from Page 1) ange ballots and 10,892 straight Democratic. Forest Preserve Vote The committee promoting the Forest Preserve district for McHenry county was very much encouraged by the close vote at the election. The proposition actually lost by 774 votes which is roughly 2 percent of the total voting on the proposition. The vote gave 19,- 343 "no" votes and 18,569 "yes" votes. The probabilities are that a new petition will be filed and either voted on at the spring election or possibly at the November election in 1966. The official Blue Ballot results in the county listed 27,- 339 in favor and 9,970 opposed. The Republican candidates were elected to the 2nd district Appellate court bench l,ast week. With most of the precincts in the thirteen-county district counted, Mel Abrahamson of Naperville polled 337,- 942; Charles Davis of Rockford, 342,641; and Thomas J. Moran of Waukegan, 342,692. The losers were Thomas A. Keegan, of Rockford, Harold C. McKenney of Crystal Lake and William M. Carroll of Woodstock. Business, Professional Division Leaders Of Hospital Drive Named Announcement of the appointment of two division leaders in the current McHenry hospital expansion program campaign was made this week DR. WM. KOHL McHENRY BANK MAILS CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CHECKS (Continued From P»pp 1) nent savings, while the balance is used for bills, as a down-pay ment for a major purchase or for numerous other individual needs. The Christmas club originated nationally in 1910 and now far exceeds one billion dollars annually. The Christmas club has maxle .a tremendous contribution to the nation's economy through the years. There are now more than one hundred million savers throughout the country and many made their first contact with banking through the Christmas savings plan. The club, which has been popular for many years, grows larger each year in McHenry. The trend continues to be for earlier distribution of the checks. The club members are no longer content to wait until near Christmas for their savings, but instead, request that they be mailed in early November. To insure early mailing for next year, the new 1965 club is now open. The McHenry State bank considers the Christmas Savings plan as one of the reasons why the bank's total resources continue to grow. The bank's resources have stood in excess of $26,000,000 for the last several week's. Credit enables any feller to start from the bottom, and go into the hole IT" ANTHONY PINTOZZI by Virgil Pollock, general campaign chairman, when William Kohl, Jr., D.D.S., and Anthony Pintozzi were named co-chairmen of the business and professional division. "The response to the McHenry hospital expansion program campaign at this early date is very encouraging," Mr. Pollock stated, "But we need generous gifts from all our business firms, as well as all the citizens in this area, to assure the success of our financial drive, and the ultimate construction and modernization of our new $1,- 500,000 hospital facility." "The residents of McHenry and surrounding areas will receive five dollars worth of new hospital facilities for every dollar contributed to the McHenry hospital expansion program -- which is indeed a bargain!" he continued.

These funds provide for the mobile chest x-ray for adults and tuberculin skin test for children in all schools. Eighty-two percent of the fund is used in McHenry county for this important work. The rest goes to the National and State Tuberculosis associations and is used mainly for research. "This is the sixtieth anniversary of the Christmas Seal," said Mrs. Robert Lounsbury, president of the Association. "During those sixty years the fight against tuberculosis has been carried on. Of course it is important to remember that tuberculosis has decreased greatly since 1904, when the National Tuberculosis association was founded. But it is still more important to remember the unfinished job that lies ahead."
