With these needs in mind, the Woman's auxiliary is planning to purchase new fountain equipment, in general, improve the services in the Snack Bar area. "Snack Bar ahead. Better faster, more drinks." says improvements malt service, uniform soft Mrs. Bertha Stange, president of the Woman's auxiliary to the McHenry hospital. "New equipment will be purchased in the near future to expedite the serving of sandwiches, soft drinks and hot dishes." When the idea of a Snack Bar was conceived in 1961. a small corner of the building was sectioned off, and the volunteers whipped up hamburgers, served coffee and provided delicious desserts donated by the home bakers. Hospital visitors had a place to sit and sip while waiting to see patients. Hospitil personnel had a spot to take a coffee break and have a snack. In 1967 the new facility was born with a larger fountain area, bigger seating capacity, and more food being served. With the increased traffic of hospital personnel and many more visitors than ever before, a need has steadily grown ON HONOR ROLL Northern Illinois university students enrolled in twelve or more semester hours who were named to the dean's list for receiving a grade point average of 3.5 and above for the first semester included five from this area.

The ladies were resplendent in their green dresses, and the gentlemen with their green ties and handkerchiefs. The tables were very attractive with shamrock decorated favors, and the meal was not only delicious but was efficiently and beautifully served. . . No business meeting was conducted, and the evening had an aura of informality and casualness which everyone seemed to enjoy. The audience was delighted to be entertained by the Mar- Ray studio dancers, who had a special Irish program. Members hope they will come and entertain often. Announcements were made regarding the square dance group which meets every Thursday evening; the defensive driving classes and the first meeting of the kitchen band which will be on March 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Fast campus.

RIVERSIDE DRIVE McHENRY 385-4426 * Hardware * Pharmacy * Gift Shdp * Special Services On Conservation Support for Bill 266, which now has emergency status in the Illinois state Senate, is urged, and McHenry county chapter of Illinois Audubon society hopes that many letters will be sent to legislators asking an affirmative vote. If passed, the proposed Oakley reservoir plans will be carefully re-studied, along with many alternatives, and conservationists sincerely hope this will mean the saving of Allerton Park. Decatur proponents of the Oakley dam solution for their water problem insist that none of the priceless statuary in the park would be damaged by the flooding and that --only the bottomlands" of Allerton would be inundated. But botanists and or- ^nithologists argue that such statements cloud the real issue -- that far from being valueless. it is these bottomlands which produce a thousand varieties of flowering plants and furnish sanctuary for many kinds of birds which will nest nowhere else. In truth, it is Allerton's natural wonders which in the main concern scientists, magnificent tljough the manmade art also is, and much as they feel none of this beautv should -- or need be -- sacrificed. To Save Allerton Park it is urged that letters be sent immediately to the following legislators, asking their support of State Senate Bill 266: Sen- , ator Karl Berning, 1006 Rosemary Terrace, Deerfield, Dl.; Dist. 31 Rep.
