3Hfe£? Roots In Discovery At The McHenry County Illinois Genealogical Society George Farrel of Gary wilf be the featured speaker at the monthly meeting of the M c H e n r y C o u n t y Genealogical society to be held Thursday, Aug. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at McHenry library. Farrell, an experienced genealogist and historian, will speak on the migration patterns of the early settlers of this nation. He will start with the early immigrants and the reasons behind why they immigrated to this country; what nationalities settled in what parts of the country's coastline areas; and continuing on with the branching out of those early settlements, to the other states and territories, as land became available. The talk and discussion later will help other family history researchers have a better understanding of what caused the immigrations and migrations. It will also help the researcher to know what clues to look for and as a result be more successful in directing their own per­ sonal family research. According to one soci€ member, Phyllis Bauer McHenry, being familiar j with the nation's history is a very important part of any hopeful genealogist's background.

It's been a sur­ prise to a number of researchers to find their ancestors mentioned in old county books or state history books, as an early settler or early church member. It's not necessary to have famous ancestry to find them mentioned in one of these old books. Genealogy or "family tree" as some prefer n call it, is like the study of a mystery. Clues are looked for and when found, are compared to other known facts to see if they "fit" the story. The more a resear­ cher knows about the background of the characters in that "mystery" the easier it is to fit the clues together and come up with answers. Mrs. Bauer invites anyone interested in finding out more about how to climb their family tree, to join with others in the world's third most popular hobby and attend the meeting Aug. 13. CLASS REUNION The Joyful Noise Christian Preschool class of '81 is holding a class reunion Aug. 17 at Santa's Village in Dundee. The grads will be joined by their relatives and friends. Also invited are students entering Joyful Noise in the fall. Alumni and their guests are asked to meet at the main gate at 10 a.m. For more information call Faith Presbyterian church at 385-5388 or Jan Kalvaitis at 344-3838. Aid Veteran Memorial Fashion designers this fall haven't forgotten women who wear size 16 or larger. Dresses with jacket tops are slenderizing. A shirt style jacket is more flattering than a blazer. Skirts are best in gore, A-line or softly pleated styles. comamnr STfcnCTH BR/tVERV COURWE tmiTY PATptonsm IXIMTMIMMMMM mm >« mm ̂ '..'in -V _ -- • Me i V For'our Formal Wear need! Bruce P.

Front St., McHenry - ' t' t ' A Vietnam veteran himself, Bruce P. Otto, of 1400 N. Riverside drive, McHenry, said the T-shirts would be available in a number of McHenry business establishments on Aug. 10. Otto said the response of the business community in supporting the Vietnam veterans has been gratifying and also noted support from both the V.F.W. and the American Legion posts in McHenry. The distinctive shirts with the eagle emblem are ex­ clusively endorsed by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial fund sponsoring committee, which includes such notables as former President Gerald Focd, Bob Hope, James Stewart and Rocky Bleier, to name a few. Otto said the United States Congress has already set aside a plot of land near the Lincoln memorial, if the memorial .is built with private funds. "If it was bought by thf vets alone, it could not be built," Otto said. "We are counting on the support of the American public." Otto added that those closely involved with the project hope to have the memorial completed in the fall of 1982. An Elgin businessman and St. Charles resident, William Gibson, came up with the idea to do something for the Vietnam veterans after seeing the warm reception the American hostages in bran received. Seventy-five cents from the sale of each shirt is st£t to the memorial fund uid another $.25 is donated to the National League of Famtite of American Prisonen Missing in Southeast Asia. The shirts, in sizes small, medium and large, are available by mail order. More information can be received by writing or calling Bruce Otto, 1400 N. Riverside drive, McHenry. s1,149,962 To MCC From Appropriation The fiscal year 1062 ap­ propriations bill to fund the Illinois community college system was signed July 21 by uPvgTttgr ltrtfarpSfrnl' 1 The appropriations total $162,519,650 and include $144,564,200 in grants to community colleges.
