These and many more are reminiscences of the early days of the YWCA of Mrs.

Robert A. Hunter, who was a member of the original board of directors in 1917. (She, Miss Florence Voigt and Miss Margaret Schulte are the only three of that first 22-woman board still left in Freeport.) In recalling the hard work that went into the establishment of the YW, Mrs. Hunter says: "But everyone wanted the YW, everyone was kind, and we were young and strong and full of energy and love for the girls of the city that we also loved." 'Very Exciting Time' It was Mrs. Dexter Knowlton who persuaded the group of women interested in a club for girls to affiliate with the inter- national association, organized in London in 1855.

"It was a very exciting time when we raised the money by subscription to buy the building in was wartime," says Mrs. Hunter. "I was on the house committee with Lucia Marvin, lovely mother of Matthew A. Marvin, and Alice Coleman Snyder, a tireless worker, who had lots of ideas and was so generous with furniture and materials from her crowded attic.

College Bill Is Reviewed 3y Laughlin An amendment of special in- erest to Freeport Community College, which was adopted by he Illinois Senate Committee on ducation Wednesday, has a wo-year limit, State Sen. Evertt E.

Laughlin reported today. Sen. Laughlin, who was chairman of the Senate's subcommit- ee on the bill providing a Maser Plan for Junior Colleges, aid that July 1, 1967, is the date at which junior colleges must lave a separate district and joard to receive full state support of $11.50 per credit hour. After that date the support will be $7.60 per credit hour 'or any junior college which does not have separate district and board. A bill permitting school districts which do not have a junior college to levy a tax up to 3 cents on the $100 of assessments pay tuition at junior colleges permissive, not mandatory, Laughlin said.

Sen. Laughlin said he anticipates that the bill will pass the Senate as it stands, since it has Republican Party support. It is expected to pass the House also, as an administration measure recommended by Gov. Otto E. Kerner.

Children Stage Carnival, Present .60 To YW Drive Europe By Motorbike The motorbike set might take wood Drive, a leaf from JULIUS KEGEL'S book and plan a tour of Europe on two wheels. Freeport's greatest motorcycle enthusiast at 74 is touring Europe and England via his favorite mode of travel, and sending back reports. The group from the United States had 49 motorcycles delivered to them in Amsterdam. Fifteen of the riders have their wives with them.

After a tour of the winding canals and a visit to Volendam to see Holland as it was in the old days, the European USA Rally was on its way into Germany on the autobahn. In Adenau Mr. Kegel saw the 1,000 k.m. sports car grand prix race. The travelers plus their 49 motorcycles cruised the Rhine River to Mainz, past castles and vineyards.

A tour of Munich, capital of Bavaria, interested Mr. Kegel, who then went on a ride through the Austrian Tyrolean Alps to Salzburg. Though the weatherman provided too much rain, Mr. Kegel said he was nonetheless enjoying his trip. In Vienna he had an opportunity to see the famous Lipizan- ner horses of the Spanish Riding Academy.

After a jaunt through Italy and Switzerland, Mr. Kegel's group at Lucerne boarded the British United Air Ferry plane, which took them to Lydd, England. Here their instructions were underlined and marked with exclamation points: "Please keep to the left while traveling in England and look out for roundabouts, which are large circles at every intersection. Drive on left! Keep to left! You are in a strange country, and if you don' keep a sharp look out you are sure to end up in trouble." A trip to the Isle of Man by steamer was billed as "a mecci for motorcycle enthusiasts the world over." A number of races will be attended by the group on the island. Mr.

Kegel and his friends wil leave the Isle of Man for Glas Scotland, on June 16 and there in the afternoon for New York, arriving at 2:30 in the afternoon to scatter for con necting flights to their home cities.
