PAGE 10, SECTION 1 - MCHENRY PLAIN DEALER - JANUARY 5, 1967 Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from Page 1) was a card from a long time friend of the Plaindealery Jeppe C. Jepsen, who thanks us "for the beautiful front page cover on the Dec. 22 issue of the McHenry Plaindealer and the reminder of the real spirit Christmas shall ever flourish." The second came from Harold Phannenstill of Kenosha, Wis., one of McHenry's most loyal former rsidents, who tells us he enjoys this column, which "is always the first article I read". In a business which very often tends to gather complaints, these kind words are much appreciated. Harold's main reason for writing was to inform alumni pf St. Mary's school in th^ early 'thirties of the recent death of Sister M. Ermina, who died this past fall during her fifty-fourth year of religious life. He recalls a number of local residents who were among her pupils and who will learn with regret of her passing. Few people in McHenry probably were aware of the successful career on the stage enjoyed by Mrs. Anna Kaeuffl; who died this week. But many of our residents were aware of her generous heart in her continuing efforts lo maintain one of the community's loveliest scenic spots. , The Kaeuffl home looks ou£i, upon a winding creek that passes through the McHenry golf course. For many years it has attracted hundreds of ducks which consider the entire area as home. Through the years. Mrs. Kaeuffl undertook the tremendous task of providing feed for them, and in so doing assured that nature's retreat for the ducks would be kept intact. At a time when the beauties of nature are being defaced in so many ways, the memory of Mrs. Kaeuffl will be kepf&live for all who pass by thi^F particularly lovely spot and recall her role in making it possible. For the first time in five years. Artist Lori Wilhelm found the initial major snow fall of the season perfect for sculpturing. Many hours of work resulted in a beautiful bear made of snow, which she finished painting on Monday. \ Tuesday morning -the family looked out of the window to find the creation smashed and the head removed. Vandalism continues in McHenry and surrdusiing area, of which this is the most recent. Many reports of stolen and damaged lighting displays in the Lakeland! Park area have also been received. CITY REALIZES BIG GROWTH WITH COUNCIL ACTION if (Continued From Page 1) Johnsburg District 12 to approve two propositions, one for a building program to include a new school and the other for an increase in. the educational rate. More recently. District 1-5, "which makes up a large part of the record city school enrollment of 4,897 set last September, sought public support which would permit them to raise tax rates for education, transportation and b u i l d i n g ( m a i n t e n a n c e l \vhich was granted. Plans Progress Throughout the year. /plans went ahead for Construction of a new high school for which funds had been approved in a referendum just before 1966 made1 its entrance. . _ Churches, too, found need to meet the needs of growing congregations. An expansion program at the First Baptist church has resulted in a new addition, now nearing completion, and 8 new church for faith Presbyterian m embers ^has been started. Open Hospital Also opening its doors to a proud public this year was the new one and one-half million dollar health center, virtually an entirely new McHenry hospital which arose with a total of 119 additional beds. Only in considering the many changes in one brief glance are we cognizant of the importance of these changes during a relatively short space of time. In con-, sidering their combined, tremendous cost,it is helpful to realize that the new tax .valuation for McHenry township was set at $79,673,650, second only to Algonquin both in the amount and in the increase over the previous year. It would seem that 1966 was a year of big decisions and noteworthy progress in McHenry, which may wisely be followed by twelve months in which leaders in the various fields of activity reflect long and carefully on carrying out these many programs started with public support. CRASH FOLLOWS DRIVER'S FATAL HEART ATTACK Raymond H. DeThorn, 59, of 1407 N. Court street, McHenry, died in Skokie Valley hospital, near Skokie, 111., about 8 o'clock after suffering a heart' attack while driving near that village. Relatives daid they believe he was enroute home from Chicago when he was striken and his auto left the road' and crashed. Mr. DeThorn, who had made his home |n McHenry for several years, ^ras manager of the currency exchange in Fox Lake which is operated by his sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Art Roth, also of the Court street address. The deceased was a member of the Moose lodge in Waukegan and the McHenry K. of C. council. Survivors include his wife, Clara; four children, Capt. Raymond, Richard, Daniel and J o a n n e ; a l s o t h e one sister, Florence DeThorn Roth. The body rests at the Tobin chapel at 236 N. Genesee street. Waukegan, until Friday morning at 10 o'clock, when a requiem Mass will be sung in St. Anastasia church. Burial will be in Ascension cemetery. Kathleen Speckman of 3816 Main street, McHenry, is confined to McHenry hospital, suffering injuries sustained when the car in which she was riding crashed on Chapel Hill road, near the Country club , about 10 o'clock Tuesday evening. Henry L. Soderquist, Jr., of 8213 Widoff road, Wonder Lake, was blamed by sheriff's deputies for leaving the scene of an accident last Thursday. The second car involved was driven by Vernon L. Foat of Lakeland Park, who told deputies that when he slowed on Rt. 120, at the intersection with Thompson road, his vehicle was struck in the rear by the other auto. Later, Soderquist reported the incident from his home. UCP KIM-OFF DIHHIt m. 12 (Continued from Page 1) BLOWER MOTOR BURNS Firemen of Company I were called to a Cooney Heights home just before noon Sunday when a blower motor in the furnace caught afire and burned. There was no other damage. EXPANSION PLAN FOR HOSPITAL FICILITIES TOLD v.. : Expansion into the new facilities of McHenry hospital will proceed in stages during the first months of 1967, Anthony Corcoran, administrator of the 137-bed hospital, said in a look at the new year. 'Actually, our expansion into the - new beds and facilities proceeded faster than we anticipated when we opened the new building in May," Corcoran said. The plan to occupy more beds in an orderly basis has worked well, he reported. The staff expects to open the balance of facilities in the next few weeks, including twenty beds not in use on the third floor. "We have nurses adequate for the beds in use. When we need more beds we expect to enlarge the. professional nursing staff on the evening and night8 shifts," Corcoran said. One of the goals for 1967 is to improve the service to patients -- a "continuing goal," as he expresses it. One way will be through mechanical means-- a telautograph system is being Instaffed between all nurses stations and the pharmacy. This will permit nurses to write instructions on a machine at the station. The unit at the receiving end has the message in her handwriting --a written, efficient form of communication. This should speed communications and assure accuracy while saving labor, too, Corcoran anticipates The a u t o - w r i t e r s y s t e m will be extended to the xray and laboratory later. Corcoran announced that a nurses* aide training program will start in January under the direction of Mrs. Clare Boehm, R. N., Director of nursing. This is part of a continuing program of instruction and all interested in taking the course should apply at the hospital. Traditionally, some of those who take the course are employed at the hospital, while others seek work at other hospitals, nursing homes, or on private duty.

Tips on the subject could be in order in this column. Try not to drive long distances at night because the danger of highway hypnosis is much greater.

St Army 2Vis-ton trucks and trailers. Driven into the 19-foot wide cargo compartment, the twin column of trucks left room for an aisle down the center and on each side. when darkness sets in. Keeping the dashboard lights low tends to reduce the glare. By all means always start a trip well-rested. Any fatigue will have an ill effect upon your driving ability. By all means do not drink anything stronger than a soft drink and do not have a big meal just before or during a long trip. Try to stop once in a while for a bit of relaxation. Wear loose fitting clothes and keep fresh air circulating in the car. Play the radio and keep changing the musical moods. Dreamy music often makes us too dreamy. Try not to let any personal problems stir you up. You can think about those when you reach your destination. Never follow the same car for a great length of time. If you find yourself staring at some object, carefully pull off the road. Sun glare can be disconcerting. Experts say that prolonged exposure to glare is a major factor in eyestrain, and that in turn causes dangerous eye fatigue. Copies of the "Rules of the Road" are available.
