! Section One -- Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday* August 27, 1964 Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) it necessary to issusue tax anticipation warrants as a result. For instance, take the collection for 1963, which was 94.26 per cent of the levy of $775,387.27 in High School District 156. The loss of almost 6 per cent made an actual dollar loss of approximately $46,- 500. This year of 1964, no money had been received as late as the twentieth of August since tax bills were not due until Sept. 1. It costs a good deal to teach 4,500 students of all ages their 'readinY 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, plus the innumerable other subjects necessary to a top rate education today. With a whole new world of knowledge opening to us through progress made on travel to the moon, it seems safe to assume that the cost of education will become even greater in the years ahead. Some of us who did our learning in the small classrooms of twenty-five years ago or more, can't help but wonder sometimes how the same minds can grasp and retain the vast knowledge which comes their way today. The fact that more emphasis is being placed on top scholarship than ever before, and the keen interest shown by a high percentage of high school people to further their education, should be heartening to those of us who must "foot" the bills. A strong educational system Is giving greater strength to an already great nation. We may grumble now and then, but a little thought given to the benefits we receive may make the giving less painful. The July Fourth holiday seems hardly a memory as fall approaches, but at least thirty Illinois residents have not forgotten the sufferings they endured in spite of legislation enacted to outlaw fireworks. Fortunately, there is a growing awareness in a state of 10 million people of the dangers of the practice, for no one was killed and only the thirty injured. Nevertheless, some of these injuries were serious. One seven- year-old boy suffered the loss of an eye from the explosion of a cherry bomb which someone had labeled "fajte". Four other children each had a severely damaged eye but some sight could be saved. Seven others lost fingers or hands and one even lost an arm up to the elbow just from lighting firecrackers. he fact that the purchase of fireworks illegal in Illinois can be made just over the state line each year, provides more of a problem to those of us in the extreme northern part of the state. An even greater danger, they say, is the increasing number of teen-agers crippled or killed by making their own explosives throughout the year. The highway will probably remain as the No. 1 trouble spot for many years to come. But this doesn't iffean that we can't also be using some common sense and care to eliminate other tragic accidents.

Purvey of Crystal Lake escaped with minor injuries when his car left Barreville road, just south of McHenry, and struck a culvert, damaging Northern Illinois Gas company valves. The accident, which occurred early Saturday, caused damage to the car, which continued 300 feet before hitting a tree and breaking a utility pole. Purvey, who said he fell asleep while driving, was blamed for failure to have his car under control. The right front of a car belonging to Leo J. Legler of Rt .1, Ringwood, was damaged last Friday as the vehicle struck a bridge on Barnard Mill road.

Kitchen of Midlothian and Leonard Szarek of McHenry. Kitchen was driving east on Ringwood road and told police he stopped at a sign and was hit by the south-bound Szarek vehicle. The latter told authorities the other car drove in front of his auto. A car driven by Sharon Conner of Spring Grove struck a garage, resulting in minor damage to the car within, at the home of Gust Nelson on State Park road, Spring Grove. There were no injuries.

They are especially high in their praise of the American Field Service, both for the good will it provides between the people of different countries and for the responsibility assumed by students in making the exchange of students possible. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson are especially happy that their own son, Tom, came up with the idea some months ago to make application for the student to stay at their home. PELL LAKE WOMAN KILLED IN CRASH OF CAR AND TRUCK Ella Prusick, 62, of Pell Lake, Wis., became the county's latest traffic fatality when she was killed in a two-vehicle accident near Richmond late Tuesday afternoon.
