Author^ of the best seller, "Kings and Camels" and the newly published "Beyond Arabian Sands", the nationally acclaimed lecturer and writer will present intimate glimpses of the Arabs and their leaders based on his ninth trip through Africa and the Middle East. He had lived among the Arabs for three years and interviewed the top leaders from President Nasser to King Hussein. Butler formerly lived in Saudi Arabia and spent ten years in the domestic and foreign oil industry as a public relations executive. , a prescribed course of study which enabled him to begin his life's calling as rrtissionary to the remote parts of the fortyninth state. The Popes will leave their mission headquarters on Feb. 26 and fly by jet to Seattle, then on to Juneau. Surface transportation will carry them to the small community of Minfield, Alaska, where they will begin the first four-year term of work in the Mission's Children's home. Friends may write to them at Box 156, Auke Bay, Alaska. It was while studying in Grand Rapids that Rev. Pope met Sherril Holden, who was later to become his- wife and share in the missionary work. Soon after their graduation, they set out upon deputation work which carried them to all parts of the eastern and middle western states to visit churches. Services were conducted for the Popes in the Wonder Lake Bible church on the second Sunday in October last year, when Rev. Pope was publicly ordained to the gospel missionary ministry. The Rev. David Holden of Sayre, Pa., his father-in-law, offered the ordination message. During the evening services the young couple were commissioned to their field by their home church. This is the second missionary family to leave the membership of the Wonder Lake Bible church within a year. The church has a vital interest in foreign and homeland missionary effort and supports eight different missionary families, seven of them from local church membership. SERVICE UNITS SPONSOR ESSAY CONTESTS IN CITY Both the V.F.W. and Legion auxiliary units are sponsoring essay contests in the local schools, based on themes designed to develop knowledge in fields important to them as good American citizens. The V.F.W. 300-word essays will be on the subject "In Education Rests the Future of America, and is open Co those between 16 and 19 attending the local high school. Mrs. Delores Krieger of the English department is in charge of applications, and Mrs. Florence Svoboda serves as essay chairman for the auxiliary unit. Essays must be returned by March 15. Americanism essay medals, plus cash awards, will be presented to the first, second and third place winners. The top essay will be sent on to the department, and winners at that point will be advanced to the national contest. The Legion auxiliary essay contest deadline is March 1, based on the subject, "Why Should Americans Vote?" Competition is open to all seventh and eighth graders in McHenry schools. LARGE ENROLLMENT PROMPTS SCHOOL EXPANSION MOVE The""Continued rise of enrollments forms the basic reason for needing more high school facilities in the McHenry Community high school district, according to the Citizens Advisory Council. The council study of past records revealed that enrollments more than doubled in the past ten years--632 in 1955 and rising to 1,343 in 1964. After reviewing the numbers of pre-school and elementary children already living in the district and the expected new home construction for the area, the council's enrollment trends committee predicts that enrollments will almost repeat the doubling record by reaching 2300 by 1974. . The facilities 'committee of the Advisory Council reports that their investigation showed the reasonable capacity of the present building to be approximately 1,200. The 1,343 presently housed pose an overcrowding problem that will soon seriously affect all departments of the system. Already in trouble are Science, Mathematics. Business Education, Cafeteria and Physical Education. Sound Economy The magnitude of the growth that will come in the #fears immediately aheadk and the crowded location of the site of the existing building makes the council feel that it is economically unsound to plan any more facilities at the present building site, thus the decision for a new two-year school on another site. In discussing the overall effect crowded schools have on a community, it was pointed out that home buyers today are much more inquisitive about the kind of a school that a community offers. The heavy competition ahead for the collegebound student means that they must have a solid and broad, high school program if they are to gain admittance. This emphasizes the truth in the statement: "Good Schools help keep property values up for everyone whether they have children in school or not." William Cristy, chairman of the citizen's group, stated that progress is well underway in organizing the Advisory Council's information program. The board of education has already accepted the Council's recommendation and is soon expected to officially call a special election to bring the proposition to the public. Ben J. Justen Dead At Age S3 (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Justen was born Oct. 28, 1881, near Ringwood, son of the late Joseph and Catherine Miller Justen.

During the week Feb. 15 to 26, teachers are asked to place containers on their desks. When the campaign is over, the room that contributes the largest amount will be photographed. If anyone is missing a half grown, good looking grey kitty, with collar and, bells, the chances are good that it is enjoying' the comforts of our home. Tuesday evening it jumped into our car as we were leaving the parking lot near the high school and since that time has been enjojying our time has bfcen enjoying our best chairs* ;and lop milk. The person who owns this very appealing animal need only let us know and we will deposit their pet on the doorstep immediately, with a P.S. from kitty that these luxuries be continued. Ask anyone what is one of the most important single contributions to everyday living and he will moist likely say the almighty dollar. Yet, if his life depended on it, hardly a person could accurately describe it, even though paper money has been in existence in our country for some 100 years. Although not all of us have the average share estimated at $170 for every person in the country, there is about $31,800,- 000,000 worth of paper money circulating in the country today. Each year the government prints more than one billion bills with a total value of some 8 billion dollars. It is interesting to note that the life of paper money is about one year; less for one dollar bills. On the average, every dollar in circulation is spent once every twenty days. Worn out money is destroyed by the government at the rate of $7,- 500,000,000 a year. Many folks wonder how to determine the value of a damaged bill. If three-fifths of the bill can be identified, it is worth its face value; if less than that amount but more than two-fifths is identifiable, it is worth half the face value. Less than this is worthless. For would-be counterfeiters, the paper used in U. S. currency is manufactured by a secret process Our own government is the only user of this paper, and only those connected with the printing process know its formula and the identity of the privately owned factory where it is made. This factory is under the constant supervision of an agen^: of the Secretary of the Treasury. Each sheet of currency paper is carefully counted and guarded when it is in storage. Everyone knows about our shrinking dollar and has experienced the sad truth. But how many know that this is not only figuratively but literally a' fact? From 1861 to 1928, U.S. currency was of the uniform size 7 7/16 by 3 1/8 inches. In 1928 it was reduced. Constanty in the news in recent months has been the current coin shortage caused primarily by the growing number of coin collectors and the vast consumption of coin-operated vending machines. Twice during America's history people have taken almost all the United States coins out of use. They hoarded coins during President Van Buren's administration and during the Civil War, chiefly for the reason that they were afraid paper money had lost its value. Coins, they thought, would always be valuable if only for the copper, silver and gold in them. Today there is more than $2,- 775,000,000 worth of coins circulating throughout the country --more than $15 for each person in the country. It is interesting to note that in the early days of coinage, dishonest folks often clipped or filed the coins to get particles of gold or ^silver. To prevent such theft, modern coins are made with raised and milled edges, which show plainly any clipping or filing. These edges also make it easier to stack coins into piles and protect the inner design from wear. The design of any coin cannot be changed more often than every twenty-five years with the approval of Congress. And now all of us know a little more about that important commodity known as money, which helps the world go 'round. We are able to give less information on how to accumulate it, but promise a follow- up story if somebody comes to our rescue on a sure-fire method. Freak Accident Damage The road situation mentioned in this column last week is actually more serious than indicated. Garages and service stations report numerous cases The most unusual accident story during the recent storm period resulted in this damaged kitchen in the Art Maass home, located 300 feet south of Rt. 120, at Lilymoor. Charles R. Simmons Of 1631 N. Evergreen, Arlington Heights, was driving east on the highway when his car, struck a huge ice boulder, causing the vehicle tor lift high in the air and then go out ,of control. The auto proceeded down the driveway, then turned to crash into the kitchen of the Maass residence. Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Maass were away at the time. Chairs were broken by the impact and a heavy sink was moved several inches.
