The Indian Festival will be held at Thorne Hall, 740 North Lake Shore drive, Chicago to raise funds for the America-Indian Dispensary.

The all-day festival, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., is sponsored by the America-India Dispensary which was founded August, 1961, to bring a program of medical services to the jungle village around Ammathi, South Coorg, India, where no medical facilities exist. AID, a unique people - to - people project, plans to builH a twentyfive- bed hospital and out-patient clinic serving approximately 30,000 persons in Ammathi and the surrounding area. Plans To Return Plans for such a hospital were first suggested almost four years ago by Dr. Rathna Aiwa, an Indian woman, mother of two, who is currently on the staff of McHenry hospital. Dr. Aiwa earned her medical degree at the University of Madras and did post graduate work in tropical diseases and internal medicine at the University of Edinburgh. When the hospital is completed, she will return to her native land and head it. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free. Heading the event "as masters of ceremonies are K. Soodan and I.

In fact, there are often times when the advertising part of a newspaper has a difficult time convincing the editorial side that there really is such a thing as the "business side". Publishing a newspaper has been likened to operating a major league ba.seball team. You can probably find other, more rewarding investments for your capital, but the "calling" that draws one to it comes from an inner satisfaction which is its own reward. It seems that many folks have been sending in less than the correct fee for new vehicle license plates for '66. They have been increased fifty cents to cover the added manufacturing cost of reflectorized plates state drivers will be using with the start of a new year. Of the fifty cents, 31.9 cents represents the added cost of the plates and the remaining 18.1 cents will go into the road fund for general highway purposes. The 1940's no doubt seem long ago to high school age people of 1965. Nevertheless, they were the first to admit that it was difficult to believe some of the first homecoming queens were crowned close to twenty years ago. For instance, no one looked younger or prettier at the dance than the first two reigning queens, Mrs. Carol Marticke Jepsen in 1947 and Mrs. Margaret Bolger Carrey the following year. We remember a number of others who followed closely after, and they, too, have retained the youthful appearance which belies the years since graduation. The weekly contributions to brighten our office continue to come from small Linda Brennan of Ringwood, daughter of the correspondent from that community. This week, in keeping with the season, it was a gaily decorated "something" we choose to call a female dinosaur, designed from a gourd and all decked out in red lace attire. Manv will miss the good natured greeting that always awaited them from Holger Pedersen, who died last week. He and his wife, Alpha, had been supplying the public with an assortment of needs from their variety store on Green street for a quarter of a century, and entrance to their place of business always brought that challenge because District 156 cannot adequately educate them with the limitations imposed by the present overcrowded conditions. Old Problems Administrators and teachers have wrestled with these problems for some time. They have attempted to provide the best educational environment for these students, but the present situation prohibits them from planning effectively or administering efficiently. Instead, they are being forced to temporary expedients and wasteful makeshifts. Due to the steadily increasing enrollment, these problems not only remain, but multiply. Here are some facts which help to explain McHenry's educational problems: Sociology, Civics, History: Because the pupil-teacher ratio is higher in this area than that of any other department in the high school (ex-^ eluding physical education), individual student attention is minimal. Library: A school library should serve at least ten per cent of the student body at any one time. The high school library does not. With the present enrollment of 1,415, this means the library should handle 141 students, yet only ninety can be admitted. The librarian must daily tur^i away students seeking information. Language: The language laboratory, built in 1962 to serve ten modern language classes totalling 220 students, must today serve nineteen classes of 428 students (in half-period s h i f t s , s o m e p e r i o d s t h r e e classes to a period) in French and Spanish alone, at a time when college entrance requirements and increasing interest on the part of the general public bring constant calls for more classes and additional languages, such as German or Russian. Lack Of Space Science: Both the science curriculum and laboratory equipment is limited due to lack of classroom space. Some science classes are meeting in what formerly was the audiovisual room, with the result that a teacher's talents are wasted and the science equipment is unavailable. P h y s i c a l E d u c a t i o n : The school is not meeting the state requirements of 200 minutes of weekly instruction for each student. Neither junior or senior boys nor any senior girl can take physical education, and available facilities are so over-crowded that many classes designed for thirty students have more than seventy-five; in fact, one class has eightyfive. Business Education, Home Economics, Industrial Arts: In these areas there is not the time, space, or tools to prepare students for immediate employment after leaving high school, or to give the necessary background for such related careers as business management or engineering. Falls Short English: Although the Engforth a cherry smile and a booming "hello." The Pedersens were what many of us describe as friendly "home folks"--the kind who are disappearing much too rapidly in a busy world. K. A. F. lish department is better off than some with respefCt to class size, it falls short of the recoiqmendations of the 1965 Report of the Commission on English of the College Entrance Examination Board--"that the average class size be no more than 25 pupils." and "that specific classrooms be set aside for the teaching of English." Some teachers must move to different classrooms every period and teach without their supplementary materials, such as classroom libraries, bulletin boards, etc. This situation also exists in other departments. The high school enrollment of 1,415, seriously over-crowded in a building designed for 1,000, is rising rapidly and will definitely continue to do so. In 1955 the enrollment was 632, in 1960 it increased to 1021, in 1965 to 1,415, and the projected 1970 enrollment will be 1,717, and ten years from now in 1975 wili approximate 2350. This is known to be true by the present enrollments of the elementary schools which feed into our high school. It is planned that the new school will be ready • for use in September of 1967, at which time the enrollment will be approximately 1,600. All figures released by the committee have been calculated conservatively, without provisions for any significant growth in the greater McHenry area. SUPREME COURT REFUSES ACTION IN LAKEMOOR CASE (Continued from Page 1) SEVERAL MINOR ACCIDENTS OCCUR IN McHENRY AREA the defendant to return the property to him by renewing his license. In a bench trial heard later, the judge found the village ordinances relating to licensing to be valid. They require an issuance of a license as a condition precedent to he operation of a business. The court said the plaintiff had not made application for a license as required by the ordinance, and as a result his complaint could not be heard. Village Clerk Mrs. Norman Morrison told the Plaindealer this week that the business was closed at the expiration of dition precedent to the operation Buxton never applied for another license but complained that he was not allowed to continue in operation. $54,041 GIVEN COUNTY SCHOOLS FOR SPECIAL AID Ray Page, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has certified Special Education claims from 826 Illinois school districts amounting to $12,704,- 810.35. Cook county will receive $7,- 610,910.40, with $5,017,222.45 of this amount to be paid to schools in the city of Chicago. McHenry county will be reimbursed in the amount of $54,041.28. The program is in operation in ninety-seven counties. Supt. Page said that 3,500 teachers provided Special Education for over 150,000 handicapped children during the 1964-65 school year. Page said that approximately 4,000 teachers will provide services for more than 165,000 children during the 1965-66 school year.
