MENTAL HEALTH DINNER DANCE SET FOR NOV. 10 The annual dinner dance of the Mental Health center for McHenry County is scheduled for Nov. 10 at the McHenry Country club, Walter Schuett, Jr., has announced. In a change of format from the dinners held in recent years, the committee plans entertainment as a feature attraction immediately after the dinner. No speaking program is planned except for a short report on current activities by Mike Firth, board member, from Crystal Lake* The evening opens with a cocktail hour starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner at 7:30 p.m. The entertainment will consist of four college men who bill themselves as "Dave Major and the Minors." Tickets are available from board members, who include Arnold N. May, Richmond, Dr. Lee Gladstone and Virgil Pollock,, McHenry. TTie dinner dance is a major fund-raising event for the Mental Health center. Since this is considered a donation it is a tax deductible item, Schuett explained. msin (Continued From Page 1) ey was due to revert to Ifie federal treasury if not used by Aug. 31. We never learned whether or not the deadline date ended with "mission accomplished", but may assume that since spending money is regarded as one of the most pleasant pastimes in existence, success marked the venture. The whole thing might well be forgotten, or even bring a smile, except that those of ns would otherwise forget, or smile, are paying the bill. One of tfte community's most respected residents, Mrs. May Powers, was in line for congratulations last Thursday when she quietly observed her ninety-first birthday. She maintains her own apartment on Waukegan road and enjoys visits from her family and friends. Members of McHenry's old city band of the late 'twenties will be sorry to learn of the death of one of its memb e r s , E d H a u s w i r t h , l a s t week in Georgia. Along with the late Henry Schaffer and others whose memory has not been dimmed by ' time, he made up a pretty fine musical aggregation we remember hearing as a youngster. COIN COLLECTION STOLEN A coin collection valued at $150 was reported stolen from A. Fennell of Lilymoor last Sunday. The sheriff's office has been investigating. Shop In McHenry Lightning Hits Areer Residence Damage estimated by Fire Chief Ed Justen at between $2,000 and $2,500 resulted from the fire at the LeRoy Miller home, 5410 N. Wilmot road, McHenry, at 1:15 Friday afternoon. Mr. Justen definitely established lightning as the cause. Fuse boxes, the timer on the washing machine and telephones failed to function following thestorm, and there was evidence of a black spot on the barn, apparently from the lightning. The fire started on the outside wall and travelled up to the attic, and in the process the copper tubing on the gas meter melted, directing the flames into the side of the home. Members of Companies I and II answered the call and remained on the scene for about an hour and a half hetore bringing the fire under control. Through coincidence, the fire was discovered by a relative of the family who was enroute to meet Mrs. Miller in Fox Lake and took a route she seldom travelled. MINOR ACCIDENTS . Marianne Trent of 5412 N. Louella. Pistakee Highlands, suffered cuts and bruises and was treated in McHenry- hospital as the result of a twocar accident early Friday evening on Rt. 31, south of Johnsburg road. Her auto was travelling north on the highway and skidded on the shoulder as she stopped for another vehicle. crossing the road to strike a car driven by Richard H. Ahrens of Miller road. McHenry. Ahrens had a out lip. WEDDING BELLS AFTER 65 - HERE'S HOW TO RING THEM Here's a blueprint for marriage after you're 65 years old. Don't laugh now -- the U. S. Government reports that more than 35,000 couples past age 65 are now marrying every year, and that the number is growing. Five years ago many of these people had spouses, sitting on the sofa next to them as your spouse may be sitting now. The blueprint coifies from John Y. Watson, 68, a widower forfpjur years, and his bride of 7e months, Eugenia Watson, 66, a widow for five years. Both owned homes at the time of their marriage. Both have now sold t h e m . They l i v e in a t r a i l e r parked in a tree-shrouded park in the Southland. Mr. and Mrs. Watson obviously are happy. But they aren't silly about it. They have a quiet, pleasant, companionable marriage. Not a cute one. Out of their experience together they have formulated the following points which they believe will make a good retirement marriage: 1. The older couple must understand that for them marriage is not a Something-Borrowed -- Something-Blue affair. It is for c o m p a n i o n s h i p , which means both somebody to talk to and the security a house companion gives you, and it is for economy. "Together, we are living for about 60 per cent of what the two of us spent living separately," according to Mr. Watson. 2. The older couple should have a wedding ceremony and invite all their friends. Not to solicit gifts, not for their own vanity. But for therfriend& Who will love it. And who will remember it from here on with parties and letters. 3. The older couple, before marrying, should go to their in-, dividual doctors, tell their plans, and get a full report on their physical condition. Thereupon they should tell each other what the doctors said, so that a case of arthritis or a backache some midnight won't come as a shock. 4. The older couple should deal very carefully, but firmly, with any children each might have. "You mustn't ask the children," says Mrs. Watson. "You must tell them. There's nothing dishonorable in older people marrying. There's nothing disrespectful to the children's deceased Mother or Father if older people want companionship again. It may be necessary to point this out, but it is unwise to get into a discussion over whether theremarriage is right or wrong. This is your decision, not the children's." 5. With regard to the children, it is wise to give them some reassurance that somebody is not marrying you to get "Daddy's Money" or "The money Mother helped you make." 6. The older couple, before remarrying, should check every form of income they have to make sure it will not be endangered by a remarriage. Women are penalized somewhat on Social Security if they remarry, but can lose everything on some pension and some life insurance benefits. 7. The older couple should agree, before marriage, that each will contribute, from each's income, a proportionate amount of it to the household budget. But that each will have the same sum, for personal spending money. For GOLDEN VEAtS 36-pog« booU*t. itftd 50c in coin (no tlomps), to D«pt. CSPS, Boa )672, Grand Control Station, N«w Yorfc, N.

Athletic Director Leonard McCracken was present to present the training rules as now applied to all participants in sports. One of the features was the ruling that students afe in training at all times, even during vacation periods. A discussion held regarding transportation of handicapped children revealed a general consensus of opinion that if some other satisfactory the cost was high and that method could be found, it would be used. There are now six high school and fourteen grade school children attending special schools. The board voted to share the use and cost of a new tape recorder purchased in conjunction with District 15. AMEND CHARGE TO THEFT AT SPRING GROVE Three youths cnarged with entering the Spring Grove railway station and taking stamps and currency have appeared in court and one, Charles Watts, 1.8, of Solon Mills pleaded guilty to a charge of theft, amended from burglary. Nicholas G. Lichard of Spring Grove has been bound over to the grand jury and a third, Douglas Hess, of Spring Grove had an attorney appointed to represent him. Lichard was arres ted through markings on a letter mailed by a member of his family, and he later implicated the other youths. HOLD FUND DRIVE FOR BOY SCOUTS OF WONDER LAKE One of the great strengths of the Boy Scouts over the years has been that this national organization and its local Scout councils have never become satisfied with their accomplishments. They have always been anxious to press forward for greater service. Even with the myriads of accomplishments happening day after day, the volunteers who lead this youth movement continue to recognize certain fundamentals as prime responsibilities -- chara c t e r building, citizenship training, and physical fitness. Without these significant values that characterize scouting among the family of youth serving agencies, the Boy Scouts would have become only another recreational activity. LEAD PARAGRAPH This is the time of year when thousands of communities are organized into campaigns on behalf of the local Boy Scout councils. Ward Ehredt, 7312 E. Northwood drive, Wonder Lake, and his committee consisting of Dr. Donald C. Sturm, Jos. P. Sullivan, Philip L. Kinzer. George Smutny and Anthony Leman are now preparing the necessary materials for the campaign to take place in the Wonder Lake area. Ehredt announces the drive will start Oct. 24. Workers in the campaign will be identified by lapel pins.

HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAK Seven confirmed hog cholera outbreaks were reported during the month of August, -the second month Illinois has been in the "stamping out" phase of the cooperative state-federal campaign to eradicate hog cholera, according to the Illinois Department of Agriculture. This compares with five confirmed outbreaks in July 1966 and seven in August a year ago. KOREAN STYLE . . .

VETERAN, TRADE UNIONIST, CIVIC LEADER, EXPERIENCED A MAN YOU CAN BE PROUD TO CAST YOUR VOTE FOK Vole The Individual Nov. 8 POSITIVE AGGRESSIVE PRACTICAL DRIVER'S SEAT A two-year study on driver improvement in Kentucky could lend impetus to the growing demand for stiffer license renewal procedures. Of 1,153 licensed drivers referred for medical review, 107 or nearly 10 percent had medical conditions that could have interfered with their ability to operate motor vehicles safely. The report on the study published by the department of public safety reached four major conclusions : --Many drivers had physical, mental or emotional conditions which made them high risks. In many cases, they were unaware of the potential danger of the condition. Fifteen epileptics were discovered, along with 16 diabetics, 14 cardiac cases, 20 chronic alcoholics, 27 mental incompetents and 15 persons who had previously lost consciousness for unknown reasons. --With medical treatment, the use of special devices or s p e c i a l r e s t r i c t i o n s , m a n y drivers may be rehabilitated and considered safe. --Certain drivers must be removed trom the road lor the safety of all concerned. --Automatic renewal of licenses, without examination should be discontinued, especially for drivers who received licenses before examinations were required. About one-half of the study group was found to have the mental and physical abilities necessary for the safe operation of vehicles. But of the remaining 40 percent: Five persons died, two of them in fatal crashes after referral. Four had licenses suspended because of mental incompetency. Six voluntarily gave up their licenses. And 232 received license suspensions for reasons other than mental or physical disability. Some 87 drivers were restricted to driving during daylight hours or at certain speeds, and 55 had to undergo a complete driver's license examination. Licenses were suspended for the 23 who failed. "Glance identification" of exit and, entrance ramps may soon become a standard feature on the nation's highways if color coding tests being conducted in several states prove successful. Color coding -- or the use of different colors to identify exit and entrance ramps on high-speed highways --is being tested in New York, Minnesota, Michigan, Oregon and Ohio with some surprising results. Michigan, Oregon and Ohio are using yellow edge-striping for entrance ramps and blue for exit ramps on Interstate- type highway interchanges. In Michigan, color coding produced these results, according to Frank De- Rose, Jr., acting engineer of traffic research for the state highway department: 1. erratic maneuvers -- or changing lanes before reaching the exit ramp -- were reduced by more than 38 per cent at one Michigan test site, and by more than 33 percent at another. 2. More than 92 percent of the * drivers interviewed said the reflective, colored edgestriping reflects headlights and outlines ramps, especially helpful at night. Drivers traveling at high speed said they noticed the colored ramps sooner. TTiis reduced confusion and mistakes that may have led to accidents. Encouraged by these results, another, more exhaustive, test of color coding is now being conducted on US- 23 in Michigan, DeRose said. As an advance warning, New York's department of public works has installed red pavement in front of stop signs near Albany and Buffalo. Orange pavement is used to identify merging lanes. In Beverly Hills, Calif., some intersections on Sunset boulevard have broad green lines to channel traffic into loft-turn lanes. He Used to Press Van Heusen Shirts. Now Van Heusen Presses His.
