Sup. Ruth Blocks Subdivision
One of the nlats presented last Tuesday at the April meeting of the McHenry County Board of Supervisors for approval as a .subdivision was not approved. Howard Ruth, Grafton Township, objected to the plat and said that he wanted to look it over more carefully, since there was some bog and marsh land in the plan described for the subdivision and he wanted to make sure that no houses were planned for that area
The site of the subdivision in question was Coleen's Cote located north of Huntley in Grafton Town ship. Two other subdivisions were approved; Hillcre.st View, Hart¬ land Township and Bridle Path Estates in Burton Township.
The St. Patricks Catholic Cem¬ etary proposed for Nunda Town¬ ship was turned down because objectorse said it would decrease the value Of their property.

>iB^*fffV*E5^^-"i^'- r
The United Church of Christ — Congregational is presently engaged in the con¬ struction of the chartibers for its new pijje organ. Rctured (above) are the contrac¬ tor, Mr. Wayne Bilsborough, and the pastor, the Rev. Lawrence Perkins, inspecting the foundation work for these pipe chambers. When the necessary remodeling of the church building is finished a 21 rank pipe organ will be installed by the Gratian Or¬ gan Bnilders of Decatur, 111.
Mu^h work has already been done by the Church to bring thl» addition to their sanctuaryJ At a congregational meeting nearly .two years ago a committee was formed to 'recQinniend the best replacencnt for the present organ' (a 1937 rasdel electronic •reed (nrgatron). This committee .was Mrs, John Bingham, Chairman; Mrs. Bernard JohasMi, Mr. Ronald Krog, Mrs. Henry Marwloe, Mr. Emil Meyer, and Rev. Perkins. Mr. K. P. BaUey has since ]oined the committee following the death last year of Mr. Meyer. Thronirh the efforts of Mr. Ronald Jirik, the Church became the bene¬ ficiary^ a 17 rank Estey organ which was given them by the Bethlehem Loitheran Church of Beverly HiUs in Chicago. This organ was dismantled and taken to the Gratian factory at Kenney, Illinois for remodeling to fit the Huntley churih building and for the addition of four 'brilliant pipe' ranks.
Laat Smday ths third special offering was taken by the congregation to meet the coat of Hda Ventura. The total cost of the project will be $11,400.00 for the organ rsmodel- iag and installation and about $1600.00 for construction of the chambers. The oryan is expected to be completed by the end of June and a dedication concert will be held in September. At that time a full financial drive to meet the costs will be undertaken.
