Officers were elected with Rep. Thomas Bolger as president; Math N. Schmitt as secretary and treasurer and the directors, Mrs. Lester Bacon, Henry J. Miller, Peter Doherty, John A. Miller and Paul Doherty. ^ Bob Peterson won honorable mention in the Daily News, in a NBC radio contest held in Chicago. Being one of 7,000 contestants, Bob feels a satisfaction in being able to be in­ cluded in this list which is indeed a distinct compliment. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 17, 1942). As all of the local posts are anxious to support the new district com­ mander, Ray Page, to the utmost in his new office, a special request has been made to have 100 percent membership in as quickly as possible. The Legion decided to put as much of the funds from the carnival into war bonds. A total of $2,000 in bonds were purchased. The first meeting of the McHenry Choral club will be held Sept. 21. The chorus, like every other organization, has suffered because of the war. Already on the honor roll are Norbert Mauch, last year's treasurer, and George Mitchell, both valued tenors. Several more are to leave soon. TWENTY- FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 19, 1957). As negotiations continued toward the settlement of the strike of some 23,800 installation employees against the Western Electric company, McHenry joined other cities in a virtual standstill of phone service. In fact, McHenry and Crystal Lake were hardest hit of the entire county. Ac­ tually, the strike does not directly involve Illinois Bell employees, but Western Electric is regarded as the manufacturing arm of the telephone system. The company installs dial and other major equipment for the telephone company. The board of directors of the^ McHenry hospital announced that Mayor George P. Freund has con­ sented to serve as general chairman of the hospital's • building fund campaign which will begin early in October. Henry B.

Scouting Introduces Tiger Cubs Sharks reportedly attack men ten times more often than they do women. Schiller, the poet, was stimulated by the smell of rotting apples which he always kept on his desk. Tiger Cubs, BSA, an all new..kihd df Scouting for the 7-year-old boy and a parent or other adult, will join the traditional youth programs of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) this fall. Sign-up for membership will take place Wednesday, Sept. 15, in each school. The introduction of Tiger Cubs will mark the first time in its 72-year history that scouting has offered a program to boys younger than 8. Information flyers will be given to each second grade boy, through his school. Tiger Cubs also is intensely family- oriented. The one-year term em­ phasizes family activities as well as Tiger Cub group activities. "Tiger Cubs represents some major departures from the way other parts of. the Boy Scouts of America programs operate," said John Husman, Tiger Cub coordinator, Crystal Lake, Kishwaukee district, "yet it is designed to build the same values. Tiger Cubs is just a new ap­ proach." In the Tiger Cub program, each boy joins with an adult. They spend their year in Tiger Cubs participating as a team. "We emphasize the word 'adult' as opposed to 'parent' Husman said, "The participating adult in most cases will be the parent. But the boy can also be joined by an aunt or uncle, a grandparent, an adult brother or sister, cr even a neighbor. The program is organized this way because of the increasing number of non-traditional families that exist in the country today. We wanted Tiger Cubs to be as flexible as possible so all boys, no matter what their family situation, can join." Husman noted that Tiger Cubs stresses fun, simplicity and flexibility. The official uniform consists only of a tiger Cub emblem (an adult tiger and tiger cub side-by- side) that is ironed onto a T-shirt, polo shirt, or blouse. Tiger Cubs groups, consisting of four to eight boy-adult teams, meet monthly. Tiger Cubs will use a Family Ac­ tivity book that lists dozens of ac­ tivities and projects to bring the boy and family closer together. Most of the activities are (Mies that lend themselves to family participation. The activity itself is the desired end - Tiger Cubs includes none of the badges or ranks that are part of traditional Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting. - "With Tiger Cubs, we are giving people new opportunities to do things with their sons," Husman said. "We are supporting family life by en- people to bring the rest of their families into the action as well. And we are expanding scouting's ability to build character by offering a program to younger boys." The Tiger Cub program was field- tested last year in Minnesota, Kansas and Iowa. It is one of four new ac­ tivities developed by the Boy Scouts of America for introduction this fall as part of the BSA's Foundations for Growth project. Other components of the project include an enriched plan for second-year Cub Scouts; a new set of marketing tools for the BSA Ex­ plorer program; and a project that provides self-reliance skills to children from single-parent and dual- earner families. Wanders With Wingate Set McHenry County Conservation district trustee, Bill Wingate, will lead two fall hikes in district sites for the general public. Both walks start at 9 a.m. Saturdays and will last about two hours. Wingate will point out and explain about the rare and the mow common plants that bloom during the it the Hollows Conservation site on Saturday, Sept. 11, a large colony of fringed gentian will likely be in bloom in a flat sandy area within this old gravel pit. Both beautiful and quite unusual, the fringed gentian grows abundantly in the dunal areas at the Illinois Beach State park. Wingate will point out other similarities between the man-made habitats at the Hollows and the wave- carved swell and swale of Lake Michigan shoreline. Parking for the Hollows Wander on Sept. ll is provided by the Algonquin Township building, on-Rt. 14, between Rt. 31 and Three Oaks road.
