Purchase of the Schrep property amounting to one acre adjoining the camp, brings the total site to two acres. When completed, there will be seven modern buildings for use by the little visitors, some who come from McHenry and the surrounding area. New Construction Now under construction is an administrative building which houses on the first floor a lounge and camp office, and on the second floor, staff quarters for men. Also new to the camp is a children's dining room with large windo\ys which permit diners to look out upon a beautiful view of the Bay. An all-steel kitchen adjoins, and the dining room itself can be used for a play area in inclement weather. New among the seven buildings are the Rose Lentin physical therapy center and the Nathan Fisher communication disorders structure. The Rogers Park Kiwanis club has taken special interest in the camp program and provided jalousies in the former. A new counselors' building, which includes nurse facilities for isolation, was built two years ago. Also in use for a period of time are the Natenberg recreational building and the Mandy dormitory, named for Mrs. Fanny Mandlestam, founder of the Chicago Club for Crippled Children. President of the club this year is Mrs. Milton Schwartz and Mrs. Samuel Lerner has once again assumed the duties of camp chairman. Camp Villa Maria Camp Villc? Maria, sponsored by the Catholic Charities of Chicago, has been accommodating young people, many from underprivileged homes, for more than forty years. The beauty of the large lawn leading to a lovely section of Pistakee Bay continues to hold the same recreational pleasures for hundreds of Chicago boys and girls as it has done for nearly a half century. Old timers will remember the Stilling hotel which once occupied the site. Used for several years as the hub of activities for the camp program, the building was destroyed many years ago and new and more moden structures have taken its place. Last \vr>ek, fourteen boys from St. Brendan's parish enjoyed facilities of the camp, and a larger group of girls frcm the same parish arrived on Monday of this week.

Many Attend Camp Of the 700 children who live in the orphanage, between eighty and 135 will come to camp approximately every ten days for the remainder of the summer. They will be accompanied by four nuns for each grouf). Others assisting with activities are nine staff members, a chef, two maintenance men from the orphanage and Miss Colleen Jacobson, who is starting her third year as camp director. Fr. David Ball of Angel Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from Page 1) There may be no direct connection between the approaching July Fourth holiday and the wOrd respect, but somehow we can't help but associate Independence and respect as very closely allied and something very important to each of us. There is a slightly uncomfortable feeling that the loss of one can be a serious threat to the other. A bit of McHenry history will be gone with the passing of Chester Goodman last weekend, A resident of McHenry since 1894, he made his first visit to the Plaindealer office as a boy of 9, and this year, at the age of 81, subscribed for the seventy- second time. He was characterized not only by a loyality to his hometown newspaper, but to many of the traditions of the community which he had grown to know and love through the years. Our own favorite memories stretch back to childhood, when we felt privileged to have had access to the woods around the Goodman home in Country Club subdivision, then filled with a nature lover's paradise of wild flowers. It was where we obtained most of the choice blooms that filled our May baskets until the custom faded into oblivion. He liked nothing better than to recall that year before the turn of the century when his father, Professor F. M. Goodman, dean of the University of Illinois college of pharmacy, was riding down the river in his boat when he detected the lovely wooded spot he decided would become the family home. The many years which intervened between that happy moment and today made interesting conversation for this true individualist. His memory remained keen, and until recent months his vitality kept pace with his desire for an active, outdoor life. Like many others, he regretted many of the changes which took place about him, sometimes too rapidly. Even so, he remained happy in memories of other days and displayed a home-town loyality others might well envy. We were happy to have known Chester Gooinan and will always remember him as one of the few remaining links between yesterday and today in McHenry. Memories of the good old days in the early part of the century, when weekly band concerts were among the most anticipated events of every small community, were brought to mind last Thursday night when Mc- Henry's stage band presented its second program of the season. j Extremely warm weather bought the large audience out of their cars and >&nto benches or the ground, much as they must have sat around to hear the early bands, in the pre-auto age. There was ample evidence in their hearty applause Guardian is executive director. An important change this year is an expanded crafts program which will include, in addition to ceramics, leather work, mosaics, model airplanes, c o l o r e d s a n d p r o j e c t s a n d others. The children attending the present session of camp are between third and sixth graders.

Nestled amidst the high spirits of family gatherings and celebrations on the July Fourth holiday, the day each year brings injuries and vision loss because of the handling of illegal fireworks. This is so even though individual ownership and use of fireworks have been against the law in Illinois for more than twenty years. E a c h J u l y u n s c r u p u l o u s adults "bootleg" fireworks into the state and sell them from cars spotted on highways. Enough adults purchase them from these sources so that no amount of heavy fines deters the "bootleggers" from this profitable business. Here in McHenry, the temptation to secure them is aided by the fact that we live close to the Wisconsin state line, where laws regarding fireworks sale are not so stringent. Too often adults who have escaped injury from fireworks as children, go to other states to buy the dangerous explosives for their own youngsters. The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness tells us that many such cases bring untold remorse in the injuries suffered. A special warning has been given concerning safety flares which burn at 2,000 to 2,500 degrees fahrenheit and are not considered a "safe and sane" item for the July Fourth as advertised. Here in our own community we are fortunate in having a fine public fireworks display. These are permissible under state laws and will allow children a part in the Independence Day celebration. This year again on July Fourth, Illinois will join in a bell ringing observance which is a revitalization of an early American custom of celebrating the nation's independence. By congressional resolution it is now an official observance. "Bells on Independence Day" will be the title used this year to publicize the bell ringing program, a name changed to distinguish it from a slogan of an extremist group in Florida. "The former title of the holiday observance "was "Let Freedom Ring". K.A.F.

Give 20 Acres „ In the meantime, an offer of a gift of twenty acres of land for construction of a court house on Rt. 31, at Crystal avenue and Rt. 14, was announced. Ralph Ostrander of the Building commission told the board he would discuss all proposals with commission members and report at another meeting. Howard Nehlig was present to state proposal for construction at the county home, Valley Hi, covering necessary building to meet needs" by 1970. Architects gave an estimate in accordance with state and Medicare standards in four years, based upon the population of the county anticipated at that time. It was disclosed that some proposal to meet requirements of the state fire marshal must be made by Aug. 1 in order to obtain a license to operate Valley Hi for another year. One of the absolute needs is a fire detection system calling for an expenditure of $2,500. A water storage system is now in process of being installed. Building Plan Mr. Nehlig presented the architect's recommendation of a four-year building program covering three phases. In zoning requests, approval was given for Little Acres, a new subdivision north of Johnsburg. The board also okayed 1.9 acres to be changed from farming to residential for H.M. Nielsen and Robert and Marie Tonyan for construction of a home. Zoning Granted Walter A. Sharpley, operator of the Hilltop Seed Co., was granted a request for zoning change from "F" farming to "I-L" light industrial on onethird acre located on the west side of the railway tracks a block north of Ringwood road at Ringwood. He hopes to restore the existing grainary to operating condition. The board deferred action on a request for a zoning change on a parcel of land on Ringwood and Martin roads on which the local Moose hope to construct a new lodge. The petition asked that upon discontinuance of its use by the Moose, the property revert to its original classification of farming. The board said no action would be taken until t h i s p a r t i c u l a r c l a u s e b e revised. During the month of May, ttuaat cosdi less!

Hubert Curtis of Crystal Lake was approved for a threeyear term to the care and treatment board, McHenry County Tuberculosis Sanatorium board. The board studied a new vote recorder machine for possible use in future elections. The self-contained, punch card voting unit was used in Lake county this year and resulted in a great savings of time in vote counting. SWIMMING PARTY „:.4 Twenty members of the Bible school staff of Shepherd of* the* Hills Lutheran church and Castor and Mrs. Donald Johnson1 were the guests of Mrs. R&Jiard Blundell at a swimming pool party. Although the temperature was in the nineties, the water temperature in "the newly filled pool was only' about forty degrees, which produced some "lovely bloc" people.

About 150 children are expected to participate in the sevenweek summer project which is federally financed.
