SEARCH FOR SCOUTS IN CITY SCHOOLS (Continued From Page 1) Scouting, for boys 8, 9 and 10 years of age, include developing habits and attitudes of personal character and good citizenship, improving un­ derstanding within the Cub's own family, strengthening the ability, to get along with other boys and the respect for the rights and property of others, showing how to be helpful and to do one's best, and preparing boys for Boy Scouting. Cub Scouting is a home- centered program under the sponsorship of a local school, church or civic organization, under the leadership and direction of parents and other local adult volunteers, and under the' guidance and training of the Scout District's volunteer staff of neighborhood commissioners. The activities of the Scout district (McHenry county is the Kishwaukee Scout district) are directed by a district committee of volunteer adults, elected at an annual meeting of local Scouters. Each local institution sponsoring a Scouting program has a representative on the District Committee. The programs of Scouting for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts are provided by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, in North Brunswick, N.J., a corporation chartered 60 years ago by a special Act of the United States Congress; these programs are administrated locally by the Rockford area council, whose assigned territory includes McHenry county, most of the northern fourth of Illinois and several counties in southwestern Wisconsin. Only one employee of the Rockford Area council directly services McHenry county; all the rest of the Scout workers are volunteers, most of whom are parents of boys in Scouting and many others whose boys have been Scouts or had been Scouts themselves and who have become active supporters of a proven, suc­ cessful program of character building and citizenship for these leaders of tomorrow. A recent survey, conducted from researching school records and Scout enrollment charters, has confirmed the popularity of Scouting in McHenry county. More than 31 percent of all boys eligible are presently enrolled in an active Cub Scout pack. This year's recruitment drive is being headed by Conrad F. Floeter, as the Kishwaukee Scout district membership management chairman, with the assistance of a staff of community organizers, who include Ruth Roach, McHenry, Bill Robinson, Richmond and Spring Grove, Marlene Lund- borg, Wonder Lake and H.W. "Dug" Dugger, Johnsburg. TEEN-AGERS ARRESTED ON DRUG CHARGES (Continued From Page 1) in their possession was found a quantity of cannabis. A juvenile companion was released to the custody of his parents. The teen-agers had bond set at $1,000 each for court appearance Sept. 25. "FIRE!" One starts every 45 seconds A fire breaks out in an American home every 45 seconds. Tragically, many families who have fires don't have adequate homeowners insurance. Building costs are one reason--they've gone up more than 50 per cent in the last few years. So has the value of many homes. Keep your insurance up-to-date.

How well this policy is working Redding would not comment on except to say he knows the number of referrals to the Woodstock Children's home has been reduced sharply over the past two years. A year ago the Children's home operated six units. It included a program with a small number of children living with houseparents in a family environment. "This is next best to foster parents," said Redding, "and unless good foster parents are located, it is a considerate way to help these children from broken homes or who have been in difficulty." Today, the Children's home has closed all its residential care units except one-the Kishwaukee Valley imilding-- it has six children in that unit. They will be placed with people who are houseparents or for­ mer houseparents to live with those families. These people have asked to bring these children into their homes. The Woodstock Children's home was opened in 1886 and has been sponsbred throughout its history by the Free Methodist church. Redding said today child care is so controlled and financed by state programming that it is difficult to sponsor any kind of a child care program without state financial assistance. Redding said about a year ago the Woodstock Children's home obtained its license to develop a foster home program within its service area but has not begun it because of a lack of staff and time to develop good home contacts. The ^Children's home is keeping all its licenses and could begin at once with residential care should it be needed in the future. Among programs to be considered now are the development of the foster home pro'gram, establishment of an emergency care program, and development of a family counseling program with the parents and children in their own home. . Demand for Day Care ser­ vice has prompted the staff to prepare for more children. The home can add another twenty- five, bringing the maximum to seventy-five in the facility on North Seminary street. Most of the present children are 2 to 5 years of age with sixteen of those in kindergarten and under the Children's home care for a half day. HOLD MCHS HOMECOMING NEXT WEEKEND (Continued From Page 1) Feature of the evening will be the crowning of the new king and queen at 9:30 by last year's title holders, Maureen Folliard and Marty Zeller.

From the highest twelve, both juniors and seniors voted for the girl and boy they would like to see hold the titles.
