Making the presentation is the new special services officer for USARHAW, Lt. Col. Frank Dower. Miss Schroeder left Tuesday of this week for Viet Nam, where she will assist in Red Cross recreational activities. While many McHenry area residents were enroute to the polls last Tuesday, one young lady, Miss Marlene Schroeder, embarked on a much more adventurous journey. Marlene, recreation leader at Schofield Barrack's Kaala Service club, Hawaii, left for Viet Nam, where she will be involved in Red Cross recreational activities throughout the war torn republic.

A native of McHenry and a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Miss Schroeder is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. peter Schroeder of Rt. -31) McHenry .She- worked at Schoi'- field Barracks from September 1965, through May, 1966. Of the 49,489 registered voters in McHenry county, only about 30 per cent went to the polls to express themselves on candidates and one special proposition in Tuesday's primary election. It was the first time the primary has been held in June. One of the posts for which candidates campaigned hardest was that of county sheriff. Emerging as apparent winner with eighty-five of ninety-three precincts reporting was John Carroll on the Republican ticket, whose totgJLin the county was 8,267 compared to 2,920 for his nearest rival, Ray Chirempes, and 1,810 for Melvin Grieb- ' el of Marengo. Interest had been running high in the race - for many-' months. In Dem- • ocratic voting, Raymond Suchy of Cary was the apparent win-< ' ner with a total of 1,261 votes in eighty precincts reported at noon. He was opposed by Wilbert Hecht of Crystal Lake, a former McCullom Lake resident, who polled 918 votes, and Theresa Schultz of McCullom. Lake, who received the support of 698. Carroll and Suchy will now be pitted against each other in the fall general election. Another highly contested post was that of county super- , intendent of schools, on the Republican ticket, which was won by the present office holder, Richard L. Tazewell of Harvard. His vote was 7.328 to 5,108 for O. C. O'Hara of Woodstock. His victory in the primary assures Mr. Tazewell of another four-year term in office since the Democrats had no contender. Probably the closest race for , county office was that of coun- . ty treasurer on the Republican - ticket. After a see-saw battle throughout the night, Cal Skinner, Jr., .emerged the winner over his nearest rival, H. Eugene Brewer of Harvard.Skinner polled 4,676 votes, Brewer had 4,548, and Raymond Murphy of Woodstock received 4,- 370. Other Races In incomplete returns from mthroughout the 32nd district at 1 o'clock Wednesday, Karl Berning was sufficiently in the lead to make his victory for state Senator on the Republican ticket fairly certain. Albert S. Salvi, without opposition, won on the Democratic ticket. An exciting race was evident for Representative in the General Assembly from the 32nd district. At noon, Joseph R. "Jake" Levesque of McCullom Lake led the county voting in a four-candidate race among Republicans, but district reports at different times were at variance as to the leader. John Hill and Lester Cunningham were strong contenders and the outcome was still not certain in the early afternoon. With only a rural section of Kane county not reported at noon Wednesday, Thomas J. Hanahan. Jr., of McHenry and William Giblin of Marengo led voting in the 33rd Representative district with votes of 6,- 339 and 6.301. Two will be named here as in the Republican voting. For state central committeeman, Robert Coulson was said to be sufficiently in the lead •to carry his Republican party banner for that post. Wins Easily Charles H. Percy won easily on the Republican ticket for U.S. Senator candidate. He will < oppose the Democratic veteran Senator Paul H. Douglas, who had no opposition Tuesday. . Harris Rowe (R) and Adlai E Stevenson III (D) will carry - their party banners in the fall election in their bid for state Treasurer. Ray Page, present state Supt. of Public Instruction, won handily Tuesday over Robert A. Campbell for his party's nom- , ination to that post. He will be opposed in the fall by Donald M. Prince (D), who was i alQne on the Democratic ballot - A number of Committeemen (Continued on Page 8)
