TURN DOWN AMENDMENT A letter from James Althoff, president of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district, turned down an amendment to an agreement between the city and the fire district in which both participates in the salaries of desk men answering calls in the city hall. At a recent meeting, a report from the city clerk's records indicated the city's cost at 65 percent and 35 percent paid by the fife district. The letter requested that the fire district have a voice in both the setting of salaries and in personnel selecting. A joint meeting was proposed by council members. A letter from Carl Bergstrom, Superintendent ofSchools commended the Mayor, Council members, and Supt. of Public Works Fred J. Meyer, for their efforts in resolving the problem of roads in front of the new high school. An offer made by Ladd Enterprises to sell the city the waterworks system in Lakeland Park again came up for discussion. The City Attorney reported that he had requested plans and full information on the system from Ladd Enterprises and that a guarantee of specifications would have to be included in any negotiations.

County-Wide Insurance Group Working Toward Catastrophe Program Members of the McHenry County Association erf Independent Insurance Agents are geared to work with any community in the county concerning establishment of a comprehensive catastrophe insurance program. Frank Low, of McHeary, president of the county-wide trade organization that unites the insurance men who own their own businesses, said development of a catastrophe program from the national organization level, through the state organization and to the local level has become a matter of ser- PASTOR WILL OBSERVE 2STH YEAR AS PRIEST REV. ARTHUR McKAY The Rev. Arthur D. McKay, vicar of Str Paul's Episcopal church, McHenry, will observe the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the Anglican priesthood, on Sunday, Nov. 26, 1967. The day will be celebrated by usual Sunday schedule - celebrating the Holy Eucharist, preaching a sermon and teaching a confirmation class. Father McKay will use a new silver and gold Chalice and Paten given to him by his parents. Father McKay was ordained by Bishop Wallace Conkling in Trinity church, Aurora. He has been vicar of St. Ignatius, Antioch, assistant director of Lawrence hall, Chicago, spent two post-graduate years at Seabury-We stern seminary, Evanston, and was rector of St. Martin's, Dos Plaines. Bishop Burrill of the Chicago diocese appointed Father McKay vicar of St. Paul's in October, 19S4. ious concern to insurance men everywhere. Low, explained at the bimonthly meeting at Crystal Lake last week that the program under development concerns everything from tornado damage to riot losses. It would include property damage, injury, and loss of life as conceived hy those working on it. A committee of McHenry County independent insurance men has beeirtformed with Virgil Pollock, McHenry, as chairman, to work with local authorities and the Illinois Association of Insurance Agents to evolve a workable McHenry county plan. Pollock stressed the insurance men's plans are in conjunction with planning by the Illinois State Police, McHenry county Sheriffs department, county and city officials, civil defense officials, the three hospitals in the county and community agencies. Through another committee, the McHenry county group will work with the National Safety council and other safety-minded organizations to establish a strong safety-awareness program under the Independent Insurance Agents' responsibility. Another problem of concern to insurance men--obtaining proper coverage for businesses and corporations--was discussed by Joe Nicoud. He spent the past year working with Lloyds of London in London, England. It was a fascinating assignment. Nicoud described the complex operation of the worldfamous organization. Nicoud, son of the state Independent Insurance Agents' executive secretary, George Nicoud, now is a special agent for A.F. Shaw and Co., Inc., one of the correspondents for Lloyd's. Nicoud outlined how coverage is obtained for such larger insured properties as a big restaurant, a ship at sea, and McCormick Place. Independent insurance men from McHenry described a major community-wide effort in McHenry early in November. A complete inspection of more than 200 businesses took place in a one-day effort. City officials praised the cooperatibn. McHenry Fire Chief Ed Justen told the local insurance men he was grateful to the agents and their company representatives for their help. Low reported the most frequent problems discovered New Pastor At Alliance Bibb Church (Continued from page 1) Graduate school of Theology, working toward his Master's Degree in New Testament. "The teaching of the Bible as the Word of God will continue to be the heart of the Alliance Bible church's program" the pastor states, "with stress on its relevance for today's problems." Future plans of the church include relocation and rebuilding within the McHenry area, as present facilities will be inadequate to meet the needs of the growing conr gregation. A special aspect of the church program will be the development of weekday Bible study classes which will be begun in homes within the community. These %ill be without denominational emphasis, but with a basic but deep study of the Bible. ?Some classes planned are "How to Study Your Bible," "The Book of Ephesians" and various elective courses. These will be "in depth" studies which will be most interesting and helpful to both those who have little or no knowledge of the Bible, and those who are mature in Bible knowledge. For further information on time and location of these proposed classes interested persons should contact the pastor by phoning 385-1519. Services of the Alliance Bible church are Sunday School, 9:45; Morning Worship, 11; Evening Service, 7:00; and Bible study and Prayer, Wednesday at 8. The pastor and congregation extend a cordial invitation to all to attend any or all of these services.
