Although spring was sup- Dosed to have officially arrived at 1:54 o'clock Sunday af- .ernoon, yet there was no sign of it in this vicinity as McHenry dug itself out of snowdrifts following the rampaging March blizzard which struck this city and other parts of Northern Illinois Monday. The storm continued into the night, the high winds driving snow into towering drifts and blocking highways. The Ladies Aid society of Ringwood will hold an all day meeting at the home of Mrs. Ray Peters Wednesday. There will be plenty of family and plain sewing to be done. A pot- luck dinner will be held.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 27, 1947) There is no one in McHenry more deserving of our birthday congratulations than Mrs. Alma Thomas, 91 years old, who observed her anniversary Saturday, March 22, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gerald Newman. Board members and the faculty of the McHenry Community Consolidated School District No. 15 are in­ viting all parents and in­ terested school patrons to visit an evening session of school to be held on April 11, from 7:45 to 9 p.m. A few classes will be run as closely akin to daily classes as possible. The Gospel Center of Wonder Lake announces the opening of its graded Sunday Bible School on Palm Sunday, March 30. A very noteworthy indication that McHenry parents are becoming health conscious was shown by the great increase in the number of children who took advantage of the im­ munization program this year. According to Joanne Rulien, school nurse, a total of 656 were enrolled in this year's program compared to 208 for 1946. The Brand brothers, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Brand of McCullom Lake, were the winners of the first prize on an amateur program over a Chicago radio station on Sunday.

She was accompanied by Mrs. Joanne Rulien of Spring Grove. The Historic Preservation Act passed by the federal government in 1966 sets out to aid the fifty states in preser­ ving America's cultural en­ vironment. In response to this act the State of Illinois created an Historic Sites survey whose immediate task is to identify and inventory significant historic sites throughout the state. This inventory or list of sites is intended to serve as the basis for state and local preservation efforts which, once the inventory is complete, can benefit through federal and state funding for acquisition, preservation and restoration of properties whether in public or private hands. The Illinois Survey embraces three areas of activity: historic sites; historic structures; and archaeology, each of which is devoted to discovering and listing historic cultural resources of a slightly different kind. The historic sites survey concentrates on sites and structures that are significant for historical reasons: places where important events hap­ pened, places where discoveries of note occurred, places where famous persons lived or worked, and so on. The historic structures survey lists those works of man that are significant for architectural, engineering or aesthetic reasons: houses, bridges, towers, public buildings, monuments and the like. The archaeological survey is concerned with the subsurface remains of human activity which in Illinois is primarily that of Indian and French settlement. The Illinois Historic Struc­ tures Survey is currently compiling data for an inventory Mrs. Robert Thompson at­ tended a D.A.R. conference at the Pick Congress hotel in Chicago Tuesday as an alternate delegate from the Elgin Chapter.

Louis Swedo has been elected president for the coming year. Maynard DeVoss is the new vice-president. Earl Walsh continues as treasurer and Dick Hester as player representative. Increased pupil enrollments of about 60,000 each year has created a demand for ap­ proximately 7,000 new teachers annually, a figure which substantially exceeds Illinois teacher supply. For this reason special emphasis is being placed on Future Teachers Week, which is now in progress.

The final product will be a booklet containing the names and addresses of all significant structures in the area, a photograph of each, a set of maps locating the structures and a designation of those structures that seem worthy of recognition by the State or National Register of Historic Places. The booklet will be available to all persons and agencies concerned with the preservation of historic buildings and structures. Any structure built before 1945 that is of high artistic quality, or a good example of its style or type, or notable because of its engineering qualities, may qualify as an historic structure. Generally speaking it is worthwhile to suggest structures that seem unusual in any way, such as those built of very expensive materials, or structures which seem solid and well-preserved examples of architectural styles or building types. The survey also wants to hear about interiors that seem significant in any way, especially where the building that contains them is quite ordinary or even unattractive on the outside. Structures such as bridges, canals, locks, lighthouses, farm buildings, grain elevators, factories, tunnels, and towers that seem either atypical or else are impressive examples of their types should also be included.

Sprague, Director, Illinois Historic Structures Survey, 1800 South Prairie Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60616.
