N a t i o n a l , B u s i n e s s Women's week will be observed locally from Oct. 17-24. The week was first celebrated April 15-22, 1928, with the announced purpose of dramatizing the contributions of women to the business and professional life of the country. Past national president, Lena Madesin Phillips wrote for this celebration, "Business Women's week should strike a response from the heart and effort of every loyal federation member. Here is a chance to reveal and to interpret the value of our club life and work to our neighbors - indeed, to all citizens of our communities." From these early efforts, N.B.W.W. has grown to be a nationwide recognition of business and professional women's contributions as citizens today and of the leadership they are providing in the economic, social, cultural, business and professional-ilife of the United Stated. Now held during the^urd full week of October, irfcan outstanding public relations event, a stimulus to program interpretation and an aid to membership progress.

Shortly after it was founded in 1936, Chicagoans, tired of the noise and confusion of the city, began making their t e m p o r a r y s u m m e r residence here. As the years went by more people became attracted by the beauty ^f the surrounding land, and within the last five years, many families have decided to make their permanent homes in the quiet of the country. McHenry is no longer a summer resort town, rather it is fast growing into a suburban town. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO 'Taken from the files of October 25, 1956).
