The vehicle struck,something on the shoulder of the road and was' demolished. \v 1 Wayne Bllxt of 3108 Clearview Drive, Wonder Lake, and three passengers suffered minor injuries in an accident which occurred on Rt. 120, near Sherman'Hill road, early on Jan. 1. His car collided with- the rear of another vehicle driven by William A. Buchert of 921 N. Front Street, McHenry. Police said Buchery seemed to have been traveling at a slow rate of spepd when Blixt struck his auto from behind. Three persons were hurt about 8:30 New Year's night in a^ collision on Rt. 120, east of Mc-* 'Henry. George Krueber, Jr., of-* Lake Zurich was travelling east when another car, driven by Donald Johnson of Crystal Lake, is reported to hafe pulled out of a driveway in front of him. In an attempt to avoid a collision, Krueber's car travelled into the ditch. Krueber, Nancy Ziel and Anthony Forgette of Lake Zurich were taken «to the " McHenry clinic for treatment. Other Accidents No one was hurt in the collision of three cars at 4:35 p.m. Tuesday afternoon one ana onehalf miles east of McHenry on Rt. 120. ( Sheriff's police say Lloyd Schwan of 505 S. Fisher, McHenry, had stopped to turn into a driveway. Everett Thorn* as of Rt. 1, Woodstock, driving behind him, was unable to stop and struck the Fisher auto, forcing it into the path of an oncoming vehicle driven by Charles Pretzman of 7913 W. Chestnut Drive, Wonder Lake. George Williams, Jr., of 381$ Hilltop Drive, Wonder Lake, was hospitalized at Woodstock last week when his car was involved in a three-vehicle crash at Church and Madison streets, Woodstock. , Williams was blamed by city police there for a stop sign violation which resulted in his car colliding with others driven by James Lord of Rt. 2, Crystal Lake Estates, and Kurt Peterson, Hebron, who were injured. The accident occurred during mist and fog. Ronald Sluga of 5804 N. Agatha Drive, McHenry, was badly hurt in a three-car collision on Rt. 120, at the intersection with River Road, last week Wednesday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock. Less seriously injured were John Clinge of Rt. 2, Crystal Lake, driver of one of the other cars, and a passenger, Madeline Hague, also of Crystal Lake. Jane Weber of 3708 W. Maple Street, McHenry, had stopped on the highway preparing to make a left turn. Sluga, driving behind her, \yas unable to stop1 and attempted to turn around the other vehicle. He struck the Weber auto, knocking it off the road, then hit the Clinge car head-on. Neither Miss Weber nor her passenger, Grace Weber, were injured. dreds of mothers--but "volun- TEENS" have Come to the front and asked to be allowed to help raise the funds-in this year's drive. United Cerebral Palsy of McHenry .County is most proud of the young people and their desire to serve, and urges all res idents of the county to welcome them intb their homes when they come to collect. In most instances, individual students have volunteered, but in many areas whole clubs and organizations have volunteered in a bpdy. Around MiHenry the following groups Xvill march--Pistakee HighlanW^fouth club, Barnard Mill Teen club, Ringwood M. Y. F„ members of the Future Homemakers of America, many girls and boys from Mar-, ian Central high school, members of the Viscounts, the Highland Shores Teen club, the McCullom Lake Teen club and so many others, that space prohibits listing them. The interest shown by the youftg people may spark the founding of a group which could be called "Volunteens for tJ.C.P." Mayor Donald P. Doherty has proclaimed the period from Jan. 10 through 17 as Cerebral Palsy Week in McHenry. POSTMASTER MAKES APPEAL TO RURAL MAIL PATRONS Musin' St Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) CLINT CLAYPOOL RE-ELECTED HEAD McHENRY C OF C (Continued from page 1) operation among the businessmen of the entire city for the improvement of business generally. Their initial effort was a monthly promotion which proved highly successful, resulting in more unified action among all McHenry merchants and climaxed by another fine promotion this past Christmas. Frank Low's report on industrial progress locally also met with enthusiasm. He recounted a rise in the annual industrial payroll in the community from about a million and a half dollars five years ago to five million dollars as 1964 came to a close. It is expected that the end of another twelvemonth period may see this figure climb to seven million with additions to Admiral and Mo? dine firms and to McHenry hospital, among others. Industrial Plans It was made clear that the Chamber, in its plans for a bigger and better McHenry, is not seeking hug<» plants to locate here and control the entire economy, but rather, a number of desirable industrial firms of moderate size. Treasure Richahl Zieman presented the membership with a healthy financial report of the Chamber, which is expected to inspire even greater el^ forts on behalf of the organization in 1965. CHRISTMAS SEAL CAMPAIGN $5,000 SHORT OF GOAL NORTHEAST STATE CREDIT GROUP MEETS IN CITY The thirty-first annual meeting of the Production Credit association will be held. on Wednesday, Jan. 13, at thr V.F.W. clubhouse in McHen ry. Registration will take place at 11:30, followed by the serving of dinner at noon. Featured will be the prime beef raiser1 by Terry Cairns, • 1964 McHenry coupty 4-H king. Guest speaker will be Mrs "R^D. Hart. SHOP IN McHENRY The Christmas Seal campaign which opened in McHenry county on Nov. 16, has reached a total of $18,687.50. This is about $5,000 short of the goal of $24,000, reported Dr. Wm. Marinis, campaign chairman. The response has been good to the Christmas seal letter, mailed early in November. The total returns are about $2,000 ahead of this date in ,1963. Reminders have been mailed to all former contributors who have not answered their letter. "This is in no way a bill, snid Dr. Marinis, just a way to remind those who have not sent their contribution and may wish to do so. Pbstmaster LeRoy Smith this week appealed to postal customers on rural routes to help rural carriers make mail deliveries during bad winter weater. The McHenry post office has nine rural routes, covering the area 6 miles north, 4% miles east, 6 miles south and 7% miles west. Mr. Smith said that at the same time he hopes all authorities concerned with rural routes where snow and other bad weather hampers the carrier will continue to cooperate to help the mailhien get through. The Postmaster listed these points of particular concern: Approaches to rural mail boxes must be kept open by customers, and obstructions to delivery of mail on rural routes should be removed or minimized to the fullest extent pos-. sible. , Where rural boxes pose a problem, the carrier may leave form 4056, "Your Mailbox Needs Attention," a notice to keep box approaches clear by promptly removing all obstructions, including snow and ice which may make mail delivery difficult or impossible. Unless approaches are cleared, it may be necessary to temporarily withhold delivery of mail, the Postmaster pointed out. Rural carriers are not required to perform service on foot when roads cannot be traveled with the vehicles normally used, but they are expected to make every reasonable effort to serve as many of their patrons as possible without physical exertion, danger or added financial cost, he explained. If excessive detours are necessary to effect delivery of mail, customers should temporarily relocate their boxes on the new line of travel, arrange to receive their mail through other patrons' boxes, or make arrangements for their mail until travel on the roads affected can be resumed. gaged in the hard business of gathering news. We know many will feel keenly the loss of Dorothy and the service she provided her community. We were rhost appreciative of a holiday card and note from Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Aregger, former residents of McCullom Lake who now make their home in Los Angeles. DR. ALWA SPEAKS OF LIFE IN INDIA AT PTA MEETING As the High School PTA opens a new year on Thursday, Jan. 14, *Dr. Aiwa of the McHenry hospital will speak about education and life in India. Since information concerning customers and facilities in other countries must usually come through reading and pictures, the PTA thought this first hand account of Dr. Alwa's own experiences would be welcome. She will also answer questions froni the audience. The meeting will be held in the high school cafeteria at 8:15. NURSES MEET A meeting of the McHenry County Nurses' association will be held Thursday, Jan. 14, $t 8 p.m. The program will include a movie, "No Margin For Error". There is no more lonesome look than a long line of dismantled Christmas trees placed along the curb for collection. This greeted our eye in many spots in the city the first of the week and started us on a "Blue Monday". We especially watched that evening to find a few more, ljj<e ourselves, who still lighted their trees f«r the last time before "giving up the holiday". K. A. F. • ,2 gg •< - . g L^apitoi iKeport Thursday# January1, 19651 NEW WORLD WAR I OFFICERS CONDUCT FIRST MEETOKL* NEED FOR DECENT LITERATURE TO BE DISCUSSED HERE A most informative program of interest to the entire community has been planned by the Mother's club of St. Patrick's Catholic church. On Tuesday, Jan. 12 at 8 p^hi. in the church basement, Edward Recruziak, representing Citizens for Decent Literature, will present a film and lead a discussion concerning newstand literature. Mr. Recruziak a resident of Chicago, is an insurance agent by profession, and^a very dedicated citizen concerned~Sbout the quality of literature available to young people. Citizens for Decent Literature is a national, non-denominational organization with over 300 units throughout the country. Its purpose is to inform the public of the naure and extent of the obscene literature racket. "Obscene literature is a very real menace, in that there is a direct relation between the increasing juvenile crime rate and increased availability of indecent literature" --this, a statement from director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation J. Edgar Hoover. Mrs. Carol Hoffman, president of the Mother's club, has made this excellent program available to the public, and particularly hopes that representatives of the many McHenry church groups, as well as civic organizations, will attend. FIRST, BABY A McHenry infant, Peggy Ann Magera, was the first baby born in 1965 at j^arvard hospital, and thus came in for her share of prizes from-merchants in that city. The baby is the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Magera and was born at 10:52 a.m. Jan. 1. Tomorrow is simply an extension of today, and likely won't be any better than today, unless we make it better. The Johnson administration has a splendid opportunity to carry out a much-needed program to streamline and reorganize the Congress of the United States. Many of the practices followed today in the U. S. House of Representatives antedate the formation of our federal system in 1789- Indeed, Jefferson's Manual (developed when he presided over thfe Senate from 1797-1801 as vice president) governs a large part of today's proceedings of the U. S. House and Senate. Much of the procedure and most of the House and Senate rules -circ highly desirable in performing the deliberative functions cf these greatest of deliberative bodies. HovvevWla great deal of the congressional machinery is antiquated, burdensome and'destructive of the Legislative branch itself. First and foremost among the handicaps to effective congressional action is the lack of control over fiscal matters. Notwithstanding the constitutional prerogatives of the U. S. House with respect to federal revenues and expenditures, the House "struggles" with scratch pad and pencil while the Executive branch is aided by computers and automatic data processing equipment. Another area requiring immediate attention is the staffing of congressional committees and . congressional offices. This matter is of particular importance insofar as minority staff personnel is concerned. The small numbers of Republican members in the House and Senate are nevertheless important to the perpetuation of our two-party system. A vocal and constructive minority can operate effectively only when the minority positions are fully and clearly set forth. Competent staffs in sufficient numbers arc- essential in this respect. T'ie Reorganization Act of 1916 was intended to correct the congressional deficiencies in fiscal management, committee structure and congressional staffing. The reorganization attempted may have been adequate for 1946, but not for 1965. A bipartisan congressional committee composed of equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats coulrl develop the kind of congressional framework from which more enlightened, expeditious and effective legislative s e rV*<c e might be rendered. Senator A. S>. "Mike" Monrone.v of Oklahoma has proposed such action in the Senate and the The Veterans of Woria War I, McHenry barracks, will meet Thursday evening, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. at the Legion home. New officers for 1965 will conduct their fir§t meeting. Commander (Harold Owen has appointed Joseph Melka as sergeant at arms; Theron Young as ^adjutant; Odon Hibsch as assistant sergeant at arms; Harry Lock as legislative chairman; Ernest Sanders as bugler and William Moreth as service officer. writer has introduced a similar measure in thf House. Although much may be said in behalf of revising the Senate's rule which permits unlimited debate (filibusters), much can al^o be said in support of permitting fuller debate in the Fouse. While the Democratic majority has been considerate in allotting time for Republican members to present arguments on pending measures, a. general rule which granted equal time for presenting majority and' minority positions would seem highly desirable. This should apply to debates on final passage as well as in the consideration of amendments and conference committee reports. Another subject deserving attention is the length of the sessions of Congress. The first session of the last (88th) Congress extended from Jan. 7 to Dec. 24, 1963. The second session did not adjourn until Oct. 3, 1964, just one month before the general election. Shorter sessions would seem to be desirable if the Members of Congress are to handle their responsibililies more expeditiously. Still another reform which merits the most careful consideration concerns members of Congress in their non-legislative duties. Those important and time-consuming services could be handled much more efficiently than at present, and the time saved could then be devoted to more thorough consideration of issues and closer attention to committee work. Worthy of consideration is the appointment of an ' "ombudsman," a si,rt of service officer who could handle directly the service requests addressed to members of Congress. Such an official is provided for in the Swedish system anc". has been recommended recently for the members of the British Parliament. These yare but a few of the c;i«jn^es which mi^'l t improve the operations of the United States Congress and are among those that may be considered if a bipartisan commission is established by a concurrent resolution of the U. S. House and Senate in the 89th Congress. SHOP IN McHENRY TRUCK TIRE -- SALE -- 6-PLY TIRES Reg.

QLMqmz' "The Store for Everyone" McHenry Library Corner Main and Green Sts. HOURS 2 to 5 p.hi. Daily, Including Saturday: Friday Evenings: 7 to 9 p.m. il! ADULT FICTION "In Vivo" by Mildred Savage is a story of men consumed with a passion to know, who follow their dream into the uncharted, risky terra incognita of modem science -- and of others who, driven by panic and envy, conspire to kill the dream. The time is 1946. Against fierce opposition, a young scientist commits himself -- and the colleagues who have faith in him--to an enormous gamble. They propose to stake their careers, and the future of the company that employs them, on the search for a new wonder drug. IN VIVO is a testament to their quest -- a brilliantly conceived novel that captures an essential drama of our time. It takes the reader into the lives, of a group of men and women for whom everything-- professional integrity, personal happiness, corporate survival--. is, bound up, hour by hour, with the remorselessly exacting and, to the initiate, awesomely beautiful world of the laboratory. It celebrates a profession that deals each day in hope, suspense, defeat, and -- perhaps one time in a thousand -- victory. It begins as Tom Cable makes his first impassioned plea to the Enright executives, challenging the company to undertake the search. It continues through scenes of mounting excitement as one antibiotic after another is found, isolated, tested -- in vivo, on the living COURT BRIEFS Richard Brefeld of McHenry^ pleaded guilty to driving whiler under the influence of liquoc whpn he appeared in the court? oft Judge Cooney on Dec. 30/ He was fined $200 and costs..

Tom Cable, hot-tempered? impatient, is aflame with the idea, possessed * by it, refusing to be lured or wooed away, from it or threatened or ridi-' culed oUt of it. Diana, the golden girl, sees herself as keener of the flame -- Cable's* muse and inspiration; but wha,fc she profoundly desires is hiS failure. Amity, out of the wis«i dom of an educated heart, is willing to share him with thQ most deductive of rivals: his profession. To Morrissey, Who worships precedent, the pro* ject is a threat. To Gil Brai^ nard it is the focus of the over-s powering hostility he feels fop his colleagues, his wife, his rnistress, for all of life. To the irrepressible Mills, it is an ocf casion for the joy he takes in science. To ., the women in^ volved as wives or Jovers, ^it is a way to bolster or undermine the morale of their meni jOut of the crowded canvas and the proliferating drama, two magnificent protagonists emerge in sharp relief; one is Cable, the inspired man of science who after every setback must decide whether he is to give up, perhaps only one. step short of his goal. The other is science itself. Mildred Savage's novel is an extraordinary achievement. In it, not only the constant emotional pressures of scientific research but its complex and delicate techniques are made vivid, in the life and work of a man who is detered by rio obstacle in pursuit of rhis goal, himself becomes a participant in the breathtaking excitement of the pursuit. 1219 N.
