m * f*T{ ROTARY WELCOMES GOVERNOR - Last Thursday was an important day for McHenry Rotary club members, who welcomed to their meeting District 644 Rotary Governor Frank Potter as speaker. In top photo, Club President Dave Benrud shows Mr. Potter the large assemblage of Rotary flags acquired through the years on visits to clubs throughout the world. It is a Rotary custom that members who visit distant clubs are presented with a flag representing those clubs. Among those traveling the farthest to become part of the McHenry exhibit are the two top flags on the left, from Bega and Sydney, Australia. McHenry's own flag, designed when club meetings were held in the former Legion home on Green street, appropriately carries the theme, "Down by the Old Millstream". In lower photo are Ken Bruce, Rotary club secretary; Don Gerstad, vice-president; Benrud, Potter, and Dennis Conway, club treasurer.

Many large banks want you to talk to a machine these days, where you push buttons, and after a bit of a rumble, something mechanical happens. No greeting, no thank you . . . just buttons, flashing lights, and sliding drawers. Completely impersonal. We don't think that's banking. Here you talk to people because people give you the added dimension of caring about you. You can't tell a machine about your special needs, can't pass the time of day with a machine, can't get a cheery thank you. To the independent community bank, people count, not machines. Especially people from our own community, people like you. Just as we have people in the bank who know you, and know your community . . . because they are a part of it. Come on in and talk to us . . . savor the old-fashioned personal dimension of banking which cares about you. -WE'RE OPEN TODAY- WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 4th 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. .McHenry State Bank 3510 West Elm Street McHenry- Phone 385-1040 A FULL SERVICE BANK Select License For Bicentennial Plates In State The most dramatic activity of the Secretary of State's office in the last six months was the contest to design the bicentennial license plate for 1976 More than 400,000 Illinois elementary and high school students participated.
