West Shore Beach Connie Schmidt 185-7841 Trees, Branches Pick-Up Planned Saturday, June 8 There are three separate clean-up programs scheduled for the subdivision. The first one is for branches and underbrush. This means no metal or garbage. All residents are asked to clean up their property of this debris and place it at the road side on or before June 8. You are urged to clean-up your lots and easements; and the tree parts, branches and weeds will be picked-up and disposed of by burning. If there is an empty lot near your property please try to trim and clean it up for this program. Renters as well as permanent and summer residents are responsible for these vacant lots. Your cooperation will be needed to make such property look neater. The second clean-up will be for old refrigerators, stoves, washers, etc, or anything metal. A pick-up date will be announced shortly. Again residents are asked to place such objects by the road side for hauling. If you know of any lots oY vacant property near you that have metal debris on them, please ask your neighbor to help and bring them to the road side. The third clean-up will be for those items you wish to throw away not covered' under number 1 or number 2 clean-up. These items will be our third clean-up day with the date also to be announced later. This is the most thorough of all clean-ups we've had so far in our subdivision. Each year if those residents who most need to clean-up their property would cooperate our subdivision would certainly have a better appearance this summer. Come on let's all get together and clean up our own properties and give a hand to some of the empty lots. A reminder again that a truck and crew will pick up only along the road side and not from your yards. If you need a saw or some help please call an Association member! EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATES Commencement, exercises for Parkland school graduates will take place on Thursday evening, June 6. The following students from our subdivision will be receiving diplomas: Charynda Johnson, Laurel Latimer, Dawn Jaburek and Dan Russell. It is a time for great joy and many sorrows of farewell. High school will promise a great challenge to these young people as they continue their educations for h i g h e r l e a r n i n g . Congratulations to all and may your future years prove very beneficial. ANSWER TO EPITAPH The following is a comment from an area resident who wishes to express an opinion in response to the epitaph printed earlier. I have been a participating member of the subdivision for 3Vie years. I always wondered about the lack of interest. Through my own experience and perhaps others as well, I now know the reason for this unfortunate situation. Compliments are fine, but complaints are another story. I'll just mention three: snow plowing, road work or repair, and the constant water condition existing between Orchardway and Hillside, no matter what the weather may be. These are to mel the major jssues affecting everyone. No live action tots been taken by the- people/ who are in authority, which are the officers and board members. This leaves me to believe that apathy exists here. What do YOU think? Discussion is fine but action should follow. Nothing can be done unless THEY do it. That is how our subdivision functions. ; SUMMER'S HERE Say hi to your summer neighbors who spend many days in our subidvision away from the noisy and polluted city life. Maybe some day they will want to join our permanence to enjoy the fresh country atmosphere. There were the Orlandos, the Varvaros, the Sukupcaks, the Deckers, the George Schmidts, the Gaceks, and the Semeraus who cut grass and added garden flowers. Meet these people if they live near you and let them know about the goings on in our community. MEET AT BEACH The next property owners meeting will be at our beach on Saturday, June 8, at 4:30 p.m. Everone is encouraged to come, weather permitting, or the meeting will be at 5412 Orchardway Drive. Our problem is attendance, so mark your calendar now. You all are the community! LADIES CLUB Do you know we have a women's auxiliary? Have you ever attended a meeting? Would you like to meet some new ladies in our area? June 6 will be the next meeting at 7:30 p.m. Our hostess for the evening will be Esther Finiello who lives at 5425 Westshore. All women residents are welcome to come. TRACK MEDALIST Tommy Wasicdk helped Parkland School take fifth place at the Conference Races held at McCracken Field May 28.

Mrs. Jirousekasks why is Youth, Inc., necessary and questions the city's endorsement of this youth group. "TYue, there is much to do between sports, school studies and church youth groups. However, the young people involved in starting this are very active in school activities yet they feel a need for a place of 'their own'. Also, there are those who are not adept at athletics, music etc. Some young people are turned off by the 'establishment' (schools, churches and some cases their own homes) for their own certain reasons, so we need a group that reaches all. There is a need for an organization that fosters peer-to-peer influence. There must be a balance between peer group direction and organized adult direction - a community needs both. McHenry needs a facility that is available almost every night not just during the school term or one night a week. It must have universal appeal- no pre-conditions, a certain faith, a certain sex, certain skills, or excel in school studies. "The efforts of Youth, Inc., are supported by local educators, priests, ministers, policemen, etc., so they recognize the needs of such a group. Young people like and need to socialize, meet with their friends in a place other than home, church, school. McHenry does not have such facility where they can meet in a relaxed fashion for a coke, game of pool, ping-pong. Sometimes we all need a break from organized events and be able at a moment's notice to go somewhere and rap with our friends. How reassuring it would be for parents to know where their kids are, especially knowing that a youth center would be adult supervised. The armed forces have found a need for a U.S.O. colleges have student unions, offices and factories have lounges, and Dr. Kim Will Join Hospital Emergency Unit II B. Kim, M.D., who has recently completed his residency in general surgery at Maimonides Medical center, Brooklyn, will join McHenry hospital's Emergency Medical Service department July 1, it has been announced by Anthony Corcoran, executive director of the hospital. Dr. Kim was graduated from the Catholic Medical college in Seoul, Korea, and served his internship at Booth Memorial Medical center, Flushing, N.Y. He is licensed to practice in New York, Vermont, and Pennsylvania, as well as Illinois. During his residency in surgery, Dr. Kim published in the American Journal of Surgery an article on the diagnostic value of hypague injection in the conservative management of upper abdominal wound. "A surgeon of Dr. Kim's qualifications and experience will maintain the high professional quality of emergency service which McHenry hospital offers on a 24-hour basis," said Corcoran. McHenry hospital has offered round-the-clock emergency service since it opened in 1956; some parents have clubs where they can drop in for conversations or just to relax. "As far as tax dollars being used to support this group the police department receives the major portion of the city tax dollars, and this would help in less calls made by their department, the city would actually be saving money. Also, the young people hope and will help earn a good share of the money themselves through membership drives, work projects, etc. Hopefully, our many organizations will help a worthwile cause - our future generation. "Young people who feel 'cut off from society strike back at society. Why do kids turn to drugs, crime etc.? Because perhaps they don't like themselves and are convinced that there is nothing in life to look forward to. No trust, no love, no joy. No real success or genuine happiness is possible until a person gains some degree of self-acceptance. Let's look for things that are right with kids and try to build on these positives. They acft saying 'Can you hear me, do you care?' Let's say 'we hear ybu, for your are our future.' "Sincerely, "Karen Pepping "3105 W.

Then in March. 1968. resident physicians began to be assigned to the evening and pre-dawn shifts. By 1973, the fact that more than 11,000 patients annually sought emergency treatment made it "economically justifiable" to employ a full- time physician-in-charge, Dr K.S. Mohan, according to Corcoran. Dr. Mohan's daytime service still is supplemented by resident physicians during the night shifts. In addition, staff specialists are on call at all times. Last year more than 13,000 patients were cared for by the emergency department. "Dr. Kim will enable us to depend on full-time emergency department physicians for almost all of our emergency patients," Corcoran concluded. Dr. Kim, 32 is married and served one year in the Republic of Korea Army as a medical officer in 1967-68 before coming to the United States for internship and residency.

SCHMUNK OUTSTANDING TRAINEE- WAC Pvt. Donna M. Schmunk, Despite accelerating urbanization in northeastern Illinois, agriculture remains a viable industry in the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane. Lake. McHenry and Will. In 1969, the year of the laiest U.S. Census of Agriculture, the value of farm products raised in the six- county region totaled over $1J>7 million. The changing nature of farming, caused in part by the region's transition from a predominantly rural to an essentially urban environment, is being explored by the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) in its continuing interest in rural conservation and development. It is the commission's intent to determine a role for farming within the framework of a metropolitan region, r.- A NIPC work paper "Farm Inventory and Evaluation" notes that major changes and adjustments have taken place in the rural community between the agricultural census years of 1954 and 1969. As a result of urbanization and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Schmunk of McHenry, graduated May 15 from basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., as the outstanding trainee from the 2nd platoon. Fort Jackson formerly was an all male camp, but now houses companies of WACs. Pvt. Schmunk will be transferred to Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, for the next six weeks. The WACs at South Carolina base are the first to receive basic training away from Ft. McClellan, Ala. Each of the companies at Fort Jackson has an officer or enlisted women from Ft. McClellan to give experienced leadership. The only men are classroom instructors, mess hall personnel and a drill sergeant for each company. the trend toward larger, more efficient farm units, farm numbers decreased by 57 • percent befween the censuses. The census identified 6.345* operating farms in 1969, down from over 11,000 in 1954. These 6.345 farms contained over 1.2 million acres of land. In 1954 there were 1.5 million acres of farmland. The average size of farms increased by 46 percent during this 15-year period; the farmer in 1969 operated an average 194 acres. As the number of farms decreased, so did the number of rural households. In 1960. there were more than 40.000 people living on farms in northeastern Illinois. This number had dropped to 29.942 by 1970, or \ about the same population as South Stickney or Hoffman Estates. The nature of farming changed, the work paper notes. Farmers switched from cropping to producing single crops, soybeans and corn being the most popular. These two crops accounted for over 70 percent of the acres harvested in 1969 in northeastern Illinois, the paper states. L i v e s t o c k n u m b e r s ' decreased drastically. Since 1954, the number Of farms raising.cattle and calves in the region declined by 64 percent What is the future of farming in northeastern Illinois? Is agriculture just a pastime until urbanism consumes the land? Or are farms economically and socially important to the*"" region, and, if so, how can they be retained free of development pressures? These are questions NIPC will continually address in its planning process.
