THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "Serving Th« Chaii-0-L«k«s Regioa Sines 1875" Volume 91 -- No. 16 -- 3 Sections McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, AUGUSJ 12, 1965 26 Pages -- 10c Copy McHENRY DOLLAR DAYS AUGUST 12-13-14 McHENRY YOUTH ENTER FAIR CHAMPS -Another successful series of band concerts has come to a close. McHenry's very professional stage band played its last program of 1965 in the city park ,on Friday evening, again attracting the loyal 'and appreciative audience which has been present at each weekly concert. Director Stan Vycital and his top musicians deserve a thank-you from all who enjoy good music. Vacations are wonderful times j of escape from the world of! work which befall us annually. • When they happen to our fcl- j low workers, however, they become a necessary evil that throws the best office, business establishment and factory into a state of confusion. A newspaper office is no exception, and we felt the impact of just such a situation last week when three of our "family" left for parts unknown. In the midst of trying to fit into someone else's "shoes" for live days, we found a growing resentment in the certain knowledge that our temporarily departed friends probably weren't giving us even a thought. The age old foes of the printer -- type lice and newspaper gremlin -- stole in from time to time to add to our woes, and there were times when we thought the only good that might come of it would be the establishment of a new publication, The Sunday Evening Post. But at last came the zero hour of "putting the paper to bed"' late Wednesday- afternoon. Hectic moments which were later to become part of our nightmare were for a time laid aside. 'Caption lines seemed appropriate to the picture above them and the more glaring mishaps of pen and machine had been corrected. The presses finally began to roll, and maybe each of us gave a silent word of thanks. In the life of a newspaper employee, these are the times that try men's patience, endurance and jjerseverance. We can only express gratefulness that our co-workers were more than equal to the occasion. We rather enjoy the happy chirping of crickels along about September, but their constant remindc'* in ear!v August that the-e are but six weeks until frosi (the old timers' forecast! is rather disconcerting.

Alter driving onto the shoulder, the vehicle then crossed the highway to strike the second car with nine passengers. Skid marks in the north lane gave indication that DisPenza saw the oncoming car but was unable to stop in time.
