ppr. Page Fourteen THE MCHENHY PLAINDEALER Thursday. May 18. I960' Wonder Lake SCIENCE CLASS HOLDS EXHIBIT AT HARRISON Jane Dace; The first science exhibit put on by Harrison school students took place recently. The exhibits were prepared by eighth grade students primarily, although there were a few entries from other grade levels. Attending the show were the students at Harrison, starting with the third grade. Each exhibitor explained his project and displayed the composition which he had written in cosjunction with his exhibit. Catching our eye was a fut u r i s t i c u n d e r w a t e r m i n i n g model displayed by Bonnie Bruce. Another project showing evidence of much work and ingenuity was the 'Body as a Factory' display .which Linda Gallas had constructed. Louise Ruggero and Judy Frederick combined their efforts in a visualization of the water cycle; while Tony Bird had constructed a bacteria culturing box which provided for complete control. Other projects were an underground missile nest and model rocket built by Herb Baerwaldt; a cloud chamber, telegraph, and model' engine. The Hoover Dam constructed of plaster of Paris, a clay model of the human heart, the structure of the atom, and a model telescope were some other displays. Electrical quizz boards, a water purification model, and a volcano were also included. Mr. Guetzloff is to be congratulated for the fine showing his students made. The class was free to choose whatever subject each student wished^to work on. Plans are afoot (for a show next year, with more time in preparation more advance notice to the other grades who may wish to enter by invitation. Perhaps it will be held as a regular show, with judges and prizes. elected new officers at the regular meeting recently; Mrs. John Rice, president; Mrs. Dolores Ori, vice-president; Miss Kay Lefebvre, secretary; and Mrs. Charles Pike, treasurer. As outgoing president, Mrs. Pike expressed her appreciation to all who have helped support the Altar and Rosary programs in the past. May Crowning took place be fore the 9 o'clock Mass, Sun day, May 14. Confirmation for adults will take place May 23 at Marian High school. If you have not registered at the rectory please do so. Eighth Graders Attend Navy Day Monday, May 15, was Kiwanis Navy Day and the Wonder Lake area club joined with clubs in Lake, McHenry counties and the Chicago area at Great Lakes Naval Base for the first public presentation of our newest, defense development in anti-submarine warfare. About fifty local Kiwanians enjoyed dinner m the chow line and the Great Lakes Blue Jacket choir. Three eighth graders were guests of the Kiwanians for the evening. They were selected by their teachers as outstanding students at Harrison, and the parochial and public schools in Johnsburg. Tony Bird, sory of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Bird,/was the lucky Harrison boy to participate in the ninth annual Kiwanis Navy Day. Last year the clubs were given a briefing on the Polaris missile long before it was made public, at Navy Day's program. Bible Church News Sunday, Mother's Day, all mothers were' remembered during the morning service and presented with a cut flower. Plants were also given to the oldest and youngest mothers present. During the. evening service on May 14, a Youth for Christ gospel team was present. The members of the team are among those from Wheaton College who go out to work with the local clubs. In all they reach over 500 'teenagers in the North West suburban area, and they 'also hold a rally once each month i n B a r r i n g t o n . T h e B i b l e church assisted this group in establishing YFC clubs in both Woodstock and McHenry High schools. Garden Club to Morton Arboretum The Wonder Lake Garden club took a bus trip to the Morton Arboretum and to Lombard to see the flowers in bloom on May 17. To get your glad spikes ready for the Wonder Lake Garden Club Show, select bulbs over 1 inch in diameter, plant in open sunlight away from trees and shrubs. Glads like a well drained sandy soil. Plant early, 4 to 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Label the name on each plant so that you may enter it by name in the show. Soak the planting once a week and to increase size of flowers give additional water at the time the first bloom spike appears. Keep well cultivated and weeded. See you at the Garden show Aug. 12 and 13 at Harrison school. Christ The King Church News A class of forty-three children made their First Holy Communion recently. The Altar and Rosary society JAYCEES PROVIDE INFORMATION IN COMMUNIST FIGHT ? The following article is the first of a series, written through the McHenry Junior Chamber of Commerce as a public information service in the Jaycees fight "against communism. The local Jaycee chapter has been aroused to action on this issue since being informed of the Communist party's infiltration into McHenry county. While the exact number of card carrying Communist party members in the county cannot" be revealed by that organization at this time they say it is of sufficient size to startle- every civic-spirited citizen. Through these articles, the Jaycees hope to awaken local people to the inherent danger of Communism. What is Communism? From the top of a mountain nearly 2,000 years ago, Christ warned mankind against being duped by the very menace which we face today. He said: "Beware of False prophets, which come to, you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening Wolves." No words could more accurately describe the purveyors of evil philosophy we know as communism, and no words of warning are more urgently needed than at the present. Communism --the scourge of our generation --has not weakened. Its philosophy has not changed. The danger from it has not lessened. At this very moment, the same old communist crowd is doing business at the same old communist stand in the same old subversive way,! And we are letting them do it! What is communism? It is a system of thought and action originated by Marx and Engels, developed by Lenin, and continued by Stalin and Krushchev. That system embodies, among other things, a materialistic explanation of man and the universe; a materialistic interpretation of history centering about the class struggle; abolition of the non-communist state; a revolutionary theory and a flexible course of action by Which to abolish freedom of enterprise; a code of action based not on morals but on utility--the end justifies the means; the abolition of all religions; and, finally; a worldwide communist r e v o 1 u tion, leading to a world-wide communist society. What is the end result of this system of thought and action? It is the reduction of man from a spiritual creature to the level of high grade animal, whose sole reason for being is to copulate and die. Visible Results And what are the visible results as the soulless system' crunches its monstrous way toward its goal? Those who have eyes and whose will to see the truth has not been blunted by propaganda can recount the long history of inhumane crimes committed in the name of communism. Indeed, what better historian can the system have than its leading expon- The barber who "talks your ent, Khrushchev? The story of ear off" could do a lot worse, murders, cynicism, deceit, bru- Nativity Lutheran Church News The annual vacation church school will be held the first two weeks in August this year. Teachers are needed badly and anyone interested in teaching or serving as a helper, or doing secretarial work, is asked to contact^ Mrs. Margaret Rose, at W.L. 7053 in the evening. Training classes will be held to instruct teachers in vacation church school activities so you need not hesitate if you feel you are not trained to teach. Pine Wood Derby Winner Cub Scout Pack 358 was proud to have a blue ribbon winner in the Scout-O-Rams held recently in Crystal Lak>. Chuckie Mansfield came in fourth in the Pine Wood Derby race. At the April Pack meeting in Harrison school prelimin ary racers placed as follows: Donald Sturm came in first, with Larry Cristy and Raymond Pearson runners up. Awards were given to the following boys at the Pack meeting: John Sorenson, Bepr badge; Michael Pickrum, Bear badge; Martin Bums, Lion badge: Raymond Pearson, Denner stripe; Richard Bland, assistant Denner; Ken Kuretski, Bear badge; Robert Ruggero, Bear badge. tality, and official' ineptitude which he detailed in his denunciation of Stalin is certainly the story of communism under one man. But has there been a change? Not by words, but "by their fruits ye shall know them." Surely the crash of the mailed fist on Hungary should sound far louder^ and clearer than Khrushchev's song of "qoex istence." The rivers of Mood spilled in Hungary will have been shed in vain if Khrush chev's satanic suggestion --the "marriage of convenience" between communism and capitalism --is consumated. Against the background of Hungary's agony, can any rational person believe that the proposed brideg r o o m , c o m m u n i s m , w o u l d prove to be other than in the past, a deadly Bluebeard? Next week, the Jaycees will continue with another article, bringing to light the tyranny of communism. COURT BRIEFS Appearing in J.P. court in McHenry May 10, Donald Powr ers of McHenry was fined $100 on a reckless driving charge. He was also ordered to pay $25 on another charge which was not a moving traffic violation. Two other charges against him were dismissed. In J P. court in Woodstock, Thomas Ketchum of Rt. 3, McHenry, was charged $100 and costs for removing accessories and damaging the car of George Gillmeister at Crystal Lake. Unable to pay the fine, he was taken to county jail. Also in Woodstock J.P. court, Edward Anderson of Wonder Lake received a $100 fine, stayed for a period of a year, with a provision that he cannot drive for thirty days and cannot be on the street after S p.m. in the evening. The charge was on a warrant issued by a county constable, in which Anderson was charged with reckless driving. Pertaining to the same incident, a similar fine and thp same provisions were ordered for Robert Peterson, who was passenger in the Anderson car, which was said to 'liave been engaged in drag racing PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to ulse this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community.

FILM PROS-CONS "Dear Editor: "I have not seen the movie, 'Operation Abolition,' and cannot make a judgment on it. But I have read so many comments on it that I feel like an expert on "what they are saying about it." 'What strikes me about all the pros and cons is that the pros seem not to be. hearing what the cons are saying. The pros continue to defend the Un- American Activities committee's right to investigate, to point out the need for constant vigilance, and to stress the lawlessness and deviousness of communist tactics. But I have seen no answer to what I understand is the cons' main argument -- that the film, by the way it was edited and interpreted, is actually untrue, that is, it does not give an accurate account of what really happened. "If it is so that the film is deliberately inaccurate ( and many responsible editors and individuals fe^jl that it is) then it should be booted but of every auditorium in the country for it is an evil means (deliberate untruth) to a good end (communist control). Deliberate untruth is a communist tactic and we must not be misled into using their evil methods in a good cause. In the Christian civilization it is still true that the end does not justifly the means. ^ "This is what must be clarified then: Is 'Operation Abolition' an accurate account of an event in history? Or is it an attempt to sway audiences by a presentation doctored to give maximum emotional impact without regard to accuracy? "A. J.
