Eighteen young McHenry high school singers are among 115 to be featured from eight county schools in a select chorus preparing for the annual fall music festival to be held in Woodstock high school Monday evening, Nov. 14, at 8 School Districts Vo Bus Transpc 'atii For That' little computer that predicts election winners shortly after the polls close has taken much of the excitement out of political contests. We remember when the more serious politicalminded folks actually found some fun in developing an ulcer as they sat before their radio and TV siets far into the night, hoping for some assurance that they were on the winning side. Today that little box with the magic brain comes through , pretty accurately at an early hour and leaves us no good reason to sit up past the usual bedtime hour. Younger School Pupils Another Veterans Day and a very important one-- is with us. There are many ways in which to remember the men and women of other wars, as well as those who are away from home this Nov. 11. Certainly a letter would be most welcome to veterans of today, and a little prayer for all of them would be a thoughtful remembrance . All of us migiit well take warning from the experience of a McHenry resident who had made numerous complaints concerning speed on local streets. Recently ^ a* an off duty policeman was testing some equipment at the entrance to the city, this same lady found herself stopped for travelling 20 miles an hour over the speed limit. The reason? "I was in a hurry". Bus transportation for small children living .within a mile and a half of the elemental schools in Consolidated District 15 will be provided this winter despite a state recommendation that such transportation be discontinued, it was announced Thursday evening, Nov. 3, by Dr. Carl Bergstrom, school superintendent. About 400 students in kindergarten, first, second and third grades live within a mile and a half of the district schools and would be affected, it was stated, even though state reimbursement is not granted for transportation of students residing within this distance. The Change was made at the urging of a Citizens Advisory group. The school districts also had (Continued on Page 12) o'clock. Guest director will be Sten Halfvarsen of West Aurora high school, noted music educator and choral conductor. About 575 will be featured in the large mass chorus which will also participate. Woodstock isigh school will be the setting for the largest and most spectacular musical event of the school year in McHenry county, when almost 600 vocalists from eight high schools gather there to present the annual McHenry county vocal festival. It will be held Monday evening, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. The select chorus of 115 voices and the massed group of TO will be directed by Stan Halfvarsen, well known musjp educator and choral director. He was a member o f N o b l e C a i n ' s f a m o u s Senn high school chorus and later of the Chicago A Cappella choir. McHenry will contribute eighteen members to the select chorus and 110 to the large, 575-voice group. Select members from here include Betsy Fossum, Sally Guettler, Margy Ruth and Jennifer Krickl, sopranos; Lee Varese, Carol McMillan, Joanne Weichmann and Candy Fossum, altos; Sandy Winters, Dale Snell, Bill Ritthaler and Mike Freund, tenors; Carl Johnson, Don Stinespring, Bob Mauch.

S£4kjGSfl FIRE^^^ About lOOi firemen, including those ' from McHenry, fought a slough fire at Burton's Bridge Monday evening. Four farms were endangered by the flames. & ** ^ • WAYNE mmm Bares distinguished himself by meritorius service as a medical service specialist, Tan Son Nhut air base, Republic of Vjjetnam from Jan. 12, 1966, to June 3, 1966. During this period, while exposed to danger from hostile forces, Airman Bares consistently demonstrated professional ability, sound judgment and great enthusiiasm in overcoming the many involved problems associated with his duties. "His superb performance and signal contributions assisted materially in the success of the United States' effort in Southeast Asia. The exemplary leadership, personal endeavor and devotion to Gene Evans, 34, of Maywood has been held in county jail, charged with stealing a car, after an unusual series of incidents which followed the hold-up of the Bus Depot and tavern at the corner of Green and Elm streets last Thursday evening. Evans. was a customer in the tavern during the robbery. McHenry police said a still unidentified young man walked into the rear door of the tavern about 8:15, wearing a hosiery mask and dark clothing. He went to the rear of the bar and ordered the tavern owner, Gus Unti, Evans and another patron to lie on the floor. The men were unaware at first that, the intruder was serious and regarded his actions as possibly a joke. However, when Evans walked too slowly from the phone booth toward the bar, the masked gunman shot bim in the lower forearm. Leaves With Money Unti was ordered to give him money in the cash register, which totalled about $75, and as he left, warned them not to call the police for ten minutes. Within a short time, city police and sheriff's deputies in the area were on the scene pnd Evans was taken to McHenry hospital. H« refused to remain over-night and called a brother-in-law in Wonder Lake for a ride to the latter's home. Although Evans told police he had no car, the relative directed them to an auto on Green street he said belonged to Evans. Checking the license plates, they found it was owned by a Chicago resident, and further investigation revealed it was a stolen vehicle. SEN. CHARLES PEBCY REP. ROBERT McCLORY An unusual interest in many places throughout the country, including McHenry county, brought out a higher than usual off-presidential year vote on Tuesday of this week and generally brought smiles to the faces of Republicans. With five governor gains, three expected in the U. S. Senate and possibly as many as forty-seven in the House of Representatives, the picture was considerably different than November of 1964, when a warm, sunny election day brought sweeping victories for the Democrats. The reason for greatest reduty displayed by Airman Bares in this responsible position reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force." PRmwrr SECOND PHASE PLAN FOR WHISPERING OAKS David Ladd, of Ladd Enterprises, Inc., presented a preliminary plan for the second phase or unit of Whispering Oaks development at the City Council Monday night and explained the progress made in this 600-acre development. The city has issued thirtynine building permits for new dwellings in the new residential developmemt and learned from Mr; Ladd that thirty more have been sold in the first unit. The preliminary plat approved and , the f inaKdrawing will be presented at the next meeting. M. B. Birchfield, municipal (Continued on Page 12) A good Miare of the increased appropriation of the county board for the year ahead will go for nine additional deputies for the sheriff's office. The need is primarily because of a rising number of serious disturbances around the county, which has not gained in size but only seems larger with greater activity erf this kind. L o o k i n g a t a r e c e n t sheriff's report, we find 195 offenses such as burglaries, thefts, property damage, etc., handled and eighty-six accidents investigated. During the month, 20,153 miles at county roads were patrolled. When someone announced the fact that there is currently one federal government employee out of every sixty-seven Americans, one loyal Republican quickly replied: "How will we ever get into the White House?'* The annual report of the county veterinarian lists figures which are heartening to old timers who^ in their comparison of times, will be most aware of the benefits of modern science.

Percy, carried easily, defeating veteran Paul H. Douglas. Percy's vote in McHenry county, with ninety-three precincts reporting, totalled 24,029. Traditionally Republican McHenry also contributed to his winning total, giving him 4,742 votes to 2,258 for his opponent. Douglas failed to carry one McHenry precinct. His county vote was 9,969. Robert Sabonjian polled the following votes in McHenry's eighteen precincts: 1, 10; 2, 31; 3, 21; 4, 22; 5, 25; 6, 25; 7, 15; 8, 9; 9, 19; 10, 7; 11, 4; 12, 15; 13, 30; 14, 16; 15, 16; 16, 21; 17, 24; and 18, 30; giving a total of 340 votes. Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson m was still holding his lead in the race for . state Treasurer, but trailed his rival, Harris Rowe, in McHenry, 2,918 to 4,288. Ray Page seemed to be winning his bid for re-election as Superintendent of Public Instruction. Local precincts aided his contest by a vote of 4,692 to 2,425 for Democratic Donald M. Prince. McClory Is Winer In his third bid for Representative in Congress from the 12th district, Robert McClory once again demonstrated his popularity with the voters with an apparent defeat over Herbert L. "Hub" Stern. Although the district vote was not available at noon, McClory was leading by a vote of 24,348 to 8,999 in McHenry county and was also ahead in the district. Another contest watcher] with interest locally was that for state Representative in the thirty-third district. John "Jack" B. Hill and Lester Cunningham, Republican* were winners and .the choice among Democrats seemed tc be Thomas Hanahan, Jr. of McHenry. Hie latter's vote in McHenry, with all precinctreporting, was 8,042%, compared to 2,522% for Wm. Giblin. With ten precincts still not reported in Kane, De- Kalb and Kendall counties, Hanahan had a total of 24,- 730 compared to 21,944% for Giblin. Another contest with much local interest was that for state Senator from the thir-,, ty-second district, believed to have been won by Karl Berning, Republican. He was leading his Democratic opponent, Albert S. Salvi, Wednesday morning. As expected, all Republican candidates for coufity of- (Continued on Page 12) A
