Approximately 100 persons were in attendance at the tenth annual meeting of the McHenry County Historical society, held at the, Museum in Union recently. President Dorothy W. McEachren made a report of the progress made the past year and of plans for the future. A membership of 418 was reported as of that date, but a number of new members have come in since then. Anyone interested in preserving the history of McHenry county may join. Write Box 434, Union, 111. and a membership application blank will be mailed. Those present could see the work in progress and were told that until the work of the first floor is completed, permit could not be given to open the building to the public. However, members could visit at any time and a schedule of hours will be worked out with volunteers acting as hosts- hostesses. When it will be evened to the public depends on the workmen involved. No work was done this past week, but it is hoped it can be opened in a month or two. As a result of pleas for volunteers to do typing, filing, mending of articles of clothing, linens, clipping news items and making scrap books (furnished by the Society), questionnaires were circulated, asking volunteers to note the days and hours they wished to give to the museum work. v Credit was given to the Boy Scouts of Union for the original cleaning up of the building, to the 4 H group of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hansen of rural Marengo, to Don Hildebrand and his sons of Union, Jack Satorius of Woodstock, Lavern Whiting and Dick Richardson of Richmond, of whom gave of their time freely. Mrs. Carl Knutson of Crystal Lake is making a 3x5 card record of every artifact in the collection. Each item is recorded in a permanent volume as it comes in, and from this she is making the card system. The articles will then be filed by categories of tools, appliances, machinery, clothing, sub-filed under men, women, children, etc. Attention was called to donations of both money and artifacts. The soc is in­ corporated in Illinois, "not for profit" and money gifts may be deducted from personal income taxes. Artifacts must be ap­ praised by dealers or professional appraisers and the value can then be deducted. It was stressed, after the financial reports were given, that the current operating expenses would run high in the museum and together with the damage done by the heavy rains to the roof and to the flooded basement, money is the greatest need. It was announced that the Society was to become the permanent depository for the life records of each person in McHenry county. A 5x8 card form has been prepared for the convenience of each person' who wishes the record of his or her life to be permanently filed in the museum archives. The file will be available to the public in case relatives or others wish to get needed data. Cards may be obtained from the Museum, the residence of the President, Mrs. Dorothy W.

The small charge will be used to maintain the file in the fireproof vault recently ob­ tained by the Society. Copies of the earliest map of McHenry county, dated 1852, were given by Horace Wagner of Wonder Lake. The original map was found between the walls of a house several years ago. It is approximately 3x3 feet and a copy may be had for a charge. Write to the Society at Box 434, Union, for further information. The president announced that if volunteers respond and when artifacts are ready for display, demonstrations such as car­ ding, spinning, rug weaving, candle dipping, butter chur­ ning, household kitchen utensils being used, would be guasn. This is done by other successful museums. The Society does not have a milk separator and a plea was m£de for one, especially since this is a dairy county. The audience was urged to send in sites of houses and building over 100 years old and the Society would recognize these by placing plaques on them, showing the age. This is being done in a number of historically-mined com­ munities. A future project of the Society is to recondition and mark the site of the first silo in the entire United States, on a farm near Spring Grove. Another objective of the Society is to organize a Junior Historian group to search out foundations of old buildings, artifacts by means of a Geiger counter. Help will be needed to get such a group going, but the Illinois State Historical society will aid in this. Election of directors by the membership took place and the following were nominated and elected: Alice Clark and Leta Clark, Woodstock; Ruth Cripe, Marengo; Myrtle Pagles, Harvard; R.G. Richardson, and Lavern Whiting, Rich­ mond; Audrey Walgenbach, Woodstock; Alice Weber, Spring Grove. New directors coming to the board, are Sanford Walkup, Crystal Lake; Mrs. Wm. Stake, Union; and Pat Williams, Huntley. Immediately on adjournment of the meeting the directors met and elected their officers for the coming year as follows: Dorothy W. McEachren, president; Mrs. Otis Cripe, Marengo, vice-president; Chester I. Nelson, Elgin, treasurer; Mrs. Betty Oberg, Marengo, recording secretary; and Miss Leta Clark, Wood­ stock, Membership chairman.

The committee was advised that, while the Revenue Sharing subsidy to the county government is approximately $360,000, ihe public should be reminded! that other monies are no longer available. One of these is/ the collection fees of the Colinty Treasurer which was $750000 a year but has now ceased. Chairman Jourdan told the committee that the new office at 56 Nor% Williams street, Crystal Lake, will be open five days a week.
