The car r/lled over and came to a stop on its wheels, a short distance from the Chicago-Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad tracks. Taylor was ticketed for "driving under the influence." James W. Bell of 1711 E. Sunset Drive. Wonder Lake, was taken to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, after suffering injuries Friday in an auto accident. Bell was travelling east on Rt. 120 when his car apparently went out of control on ice and slush and slid off the highway, striking a utility pole. James Mays of 3308 W.

McHenry students learned with some surprise the things regarded as "strange" to the visitors during their introduction to life in the United States. Werner, who proved very popular with McHenry stu dents, spoke especially of the difference in food; which he found difficult to become accustomed to at first but has since grown to enjoy. Other things he included as "unusual" were the near riots over the Beetles in American theatres; the use of idioms; and the fact that 16-year-olds are permitted to drive. He said that a glass of beer was much like a glass of milk in.its use amon^ Germans of a yOung age, but he added that the laws regarding its use here were no doubt necessary because of the early age permission is given to drive a car. t Werner will pursue a college education upon his return to Germany next summer and hopes for a career in the political world in South America. Divided Germany In answer to a question on the German people's feeling toward a divided country, he spoke of the situation as it has existed over the past twenty years, during which time commuication between friends and relatives in the eastern and western sections has been only by mail. The one hope of his people, he added, is to some day have a reunited Germany. The inevitable question to Miss Smith regarding" the Beetles brought a response that they "are finished". She described the reaction of young folks in her country as similar to those in the United States at first, but noted that possibly their popularity there had diminished in relation to its increase here. Miss Smith hopes to embark on a career in law. She explained the English legal system and the openings which are most accessible to women. Speaking on their introduction to life in this country, both Miss Naiga and Miss Eirikedottir made contrasts with living conditions here and in their own countries. The former is interested in a career as a lawyer or doctor, and the latter is still undecided. Notable Differences - Some of the students mentioned the large numbers of people and cars as a striking difference to their countries. One stated that when he wrote home of the informal attire worn to school here, .his family thought he must be living with poor people. To conclude the assembly, Paul Liebman mentioned the fact that to bring the five young students to the country for their last year of high school required the expenditure of $3,500, all of which was raised by local chapters. The student exchange program has been so successful that plans are now being formulated to expand it in the future. The five young folks were again honored at a pot-ldck supper in the school cafeteria Thursday evening, followed by an informal social hour. William Burnett and Jesse Mudgett will act as co-chairmen of the Lake Region YMCA fund drive. The appointments were announced at the second annual meeting- of the Board of Governing Members by Earl Nehring, chairman of the budget and finance committee. Go-chairmen William Burnett and Jesse Mudgett received their appointments as YMCA fund drive co-chairmen at the second annual meeting of the board- of governing members. Both co-chairmen are active in church and civic affairs. Mr. Burnett was a member of the original YMCA steering committee. He iS church school treasurer of the First Methodist Church and a Kiwanian. Mr. Mudgett is active in the St. Mary's church choir, is Lt. Governor of Division 20 of the Kiwanis International, and has served as a president and secretary of the Crystal Lake Kiwanis. The goal of the drive this year will be $17,600.00. The balance of the $26,000.00' budget will be obtained from program fees and membership dues. Teams of the .Special Gifts division will invite contributions from industry starting Feb. 16. Other teams of the General Solicitation division will call upon interested individuals and friends of the YMCA during March. Nehring stated that the response from the community in the service area last year was enthusiastic and expressed confidence in. the continued interest and support that has been indicated by many individuals and service clubs. At present, activities are conducted in Algonquin, Crystal Lake. McHenry and Woodstock, with participants from virtually every community in the Lake region. Major interest pro- ADMINSTRATIVE CHANGES TOLD IN SCHOOL SYSTEM (Continued from' Page 1) will be transferred to the same position at Hilltop to replace Mrs. Ullrich. A representative of the architectural firm of Orput, Orput & Associates was present and the board spent approximately two hours discussing plans for the additions to the schools. The board expressed agreement to support of a countywide special education program aimed at providing facilities for any students who might not otherwise be able to pursue their education. The program places special emphasis on the provision of rooms for those in need of special help because of physical disabilities. A contract for Philip Helwig was approved to „teach vocal music in Edgebrook and Junior high schools. Mr. Helwig has a B.A. Degree. At the same time, the board accepted, with regret, the resignation of Mrs. Nancy Johnson, speech therapist, at the close of the school year. grams have been swimming instruction, gym-fun-for boys and girls, Indian Guides, Family Nite, church basketball leagues, and ladies "Lose Weight the Y's Way." Other activities are "Y's Men," Youth chess, „ ballet, bridge instruction and bridge play, adult co-ed gym, and adult physical fitness. Musin' & Meanderin' (Cbntinued from Page 1) cide with a change in plans by auto makers, who have not yet incorporated some safety features that have been known for years. They now seem to feel that building cars with safer interiors is the prudent and economical thing to do. A few of the more prominent of the features include hydraulic, shock-absorbing bumpers to protect you in case you ramuinto the back of a car, and head rests so you won't suffer a whiplash neck injury when somebody rams into you. Other changes are roll bar and seat belts front and rear so you won't be squashed or thrown out if your car rolls over; padded, dashboard and visor and recessed instrument knobs and door handles so you'll be protected somewhat if you have an accident. Developers of these many new-fangled devices are implying, through their crashproof car, a patronizing attitude. They give a pretty clear indication that drivers are incapable of driving safely and so must be saved from themselves. And who among us who drives at all wouldn't admit that they are right? Maybe educators should pay sortie heed to use of the hackneyed status symbol approach --in reverse -- to keep young people from dropping out of school. A study of criminals shows that most of them have a low level of educational attainment. Statistics from Statesville prison .reveal that one in three prisoners entered high school; one in thirty graduated from high school and only one in 450 had a college degree. No one has made any claim to the fact that these figures directly account for crime, but they seem to identify lack of education as a prime factor in the predicament of most prisoners. K. A. F.
