\ Musin9 and Meanderin (Continued from page 1) Possessed of ^super-intelligence, on occasion he enjoys TV pirograms (especially Westr erns), a good romp with any piece of string available, and a good share of mischief which has included sitting in self-admiration before a mirror. At 0all times, he purrs loudly upon finding a soft lap, a soothing hand or milk, which he consumes in unbelievable quantities. * Any tendency toward ostentation could very well have come about because of his proud name of Tinkerbell, to which he responds not at all. In fact, he shews equal recognition when referred to as just "it", and would probably be' happier if we refrained from any monicker and just produced a dish filled with food. Having soon realized we were an "easy mark for' all God's animal kingdom, this feline with ,thp winning ways has been enjoying the lap of luxury. With much reluctance - but still sneezing - we would relinquish him only to someone who would promise the same accommodations in return for the affection he extends to all mankind. i Hay McGee, considered by many as McHenry's No. I citizen in service to others, hosted a rriost enjoyable and worthwhile March of Dimes luncheon at the Country club Tuesday noon. The sincere devotion to this program which he and area chairmen injected into their plans for the January, 1969, drive is all the testimony we need of its value. We have Volunteered our assistance. Can' we count on others to do the same? . K.A.F.

Information will be compiled and action taken at the next meeting on charges to laundromats not using city water. The cost of putting this wash water through the sewer plant is such that changes must be made. Renewal of the 1964 Permit Yearly resolution for work performed on state highways was passed. This eliminates the necessity of passing individual resolutions for each permit. A letter to Mayor Doherty from the State of Illinois Division of Local and Regional Planning advised that McHenry's planning work could proceed upon the balance of the city's share of $2,418 being paid at this time.

Members talked about recreation such as sledding, skating and tobogganing. This month, Terry Huska is giving a talk and Parisa Pace will present a demonstration. Last month, Kri§ Harms gave a talk on knitting. The January meeting will be held at the Huska home. . BUSY BEES The Busy Bees 4-H club held its meeting recently at St. Patrick's church basement, opening w:.th the pledges, followed by rolK call, reading of the minutes and committee reports. We decided we might go to Oregon by bus to Blackhawk forest. In new business, we thought about an activity for January. We might, go on the train to Chicago to tour the city. Regreshments were served. The next meeting Will be held Jan. 21. ^ DEPUTY'S CAR STRUCK McHenry County Deputy Arthur Meyer of Wonder Lake was driver of a squad car involved in an accident on Rt. 31 at Kane street, Monday morning. Warning lights On the deputy' s car., were reported by city police to have been flashing when his vehicle was struck by two other cars. There were no injuries. Proposed New Junior High (Continued from page 1) able at Landmark), and laboratory equipment. Use of classroom space in the old high school was also discounted for K-l grades because of class scheduling for two separate districts, mixing age groups, and supervisory conflicts between Districts 15 and i56. \ Two vital facts are stressed. Schools are bulging at the seams and the need for additional classroom space is urgent. Enrollments in the elementary schools have alniost doubledsince 1957 and in 1968-69 are*- near the 3,000 mark. Another^ doubling of enrollment is expec- 1 ted by 1978-79. For example, oq ^ Jan. 6, 1965, twenty-three additional students enrolled iri Mc-A Henry elementary schools. The use of Landmark will provide classroom space by the fall of 1969. The second important fact is that bond issues are NOT a never-ending mortgage. Last year the original bond issue of'. $295,000 for Edgebrook school was paid off and other school bond indebtedness amounting to ' $458,000 was paid in 1967-68.
