In foreground is a tray of hatched salmon. Photo at right shows the salmon at a length of about one-half inch. Chinook Salmon Greet The World Christmas day was special for everyone, but there was a different reason for remembering Dec. 25 at the Spring Grove fish hatchery. On that day most of the 315,000 Chinook salmon eggs hatched and became available for "baby" pictures. When photographed, the bright orange fish were about one- half inch long. The eggs were shipped from the Odin Fish hatchery in Michigan Dec. 10. About the first week of May the salmon will be given a new home in Lake Michigan. At that time they will be 3 to 4 inches in length and the weight of each will be about 100th of a pound. Recognize Johnsburg Teacher We have had two calls from people who are unhappy about the destruction of McHenry's old bridge, due not too far in the future. One of them par­ ticularly objected to that action in the Bicentennial year -a time devoted to the recognition of history and those places and things that have be«n an im­ portant part of it. Although we realize the strong arguments in favor of a new bridge, we tend to agree with the objectors. Our feelings are probably based on emotionalism more than common sense, but it has always been our opinion that both are needed for good conclusions. We recall so well how very * close the community came to losing the old school now referred to as Landmark. This was an issue that sharply divided educators on the one hand and the citiz6nery on the other. If emotionalism won--and it most certainly did -in the end the decision proved to be a most practical one. Rather than a commercial enterprise on tire site of the school built in 1894, the completely, renovated building continues to serve hundreds of young students in a modern environment. Upon completion, educators were delighted that it had been possible to retain much of the old with enough new features necessary to provide a good facility for learning. In the case of the bridge, there is a safety factor, to be sure. It is impossible, except for Very compact models, for cars to meet mid-way across. At times of heavy traffic, this is an inconvenience at the least, (Continued On Page 10) Conservation Directors To Be Elected Jan. 24 The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the McHenry County Soil and Water Con­ servation district will be held Jan. 24 at the First United Methodist church, corner of City Route 14 and Throop street, Woodstock with registration from 6:30 to 7 p.m. Dinner will follow with the business session at 8 p.m. Nominees who have sub­ mitted petitions to the Illinois Department of Soil and Water Conservation to" serve as directors include Clayton O.
