MINOR CRASHES INVESTIGATED BY ClfY POLICE Several minor accidents were investigated by city police this past week. Judith Walsh Smith of Main street and George S. Marcotte of Eastwood lane, both McHenry, were parked in front of meters on Green street. Marcotte, in backing out, misjudged the distance and struck the left rear of the other car. In another accident, Marguerite Lamb of Crystal Lake, and John T. Colomer of Wilmot road, McHenry, were traveling west on Rt. 120. The Lamb vehicle, in the wrong lane of traffic, made a left turn onto Green street from Elm and struck the other car, causing damage to both autos. Elizabeth K. Fiala of E.Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, started to turn west to north into the parking lot of the McHenry Shopping Plaza when the rear of her car was struck by an auto driven by Thomas R. Jones of Ringwood road, McHenry; Rftdiard Hahndorf of W. !Bonner drive, McHenry, travelling north on Crystal Lake road, was waiting for traffic to move at the intersection with Rt. 120. He then attempted to make a left turn onto the highway, but saw an approaching car, stopped and then forgot that there was a car to his left, driven by Marvin J. Leanna of Woodstock. Hahndorf turned too short and struck the other auto, causing damage to both. Two cars collided on N.Green street, in an unusual manner. Dr. Peter H. Griesbach of W. Clover avenue, McHenry, was parked on the north side of the parking lot, facing north, and the auto of Joan M. Bauer of W. Skyway drive, M&Henry, was parked in the center, facing southwest. Both were unattended. The second auto, in neutral position, with parking brake off, rolled back, striking the rear left fender of the other vehicle. EAST CAMPUS MUSICIANS GO TO BAND DAY (Continued from page 1) spectacular and colorful half time show at the N.U. vs. U of Southern California game in Dyche Stadium. A crowd of 45,000 is expected. This is the thirteenth consecutive year the MCHS band has attended Band Day, of only five school musical aggregations to claim the distinction of having been a part of this special day since its beginning. Previous local bands have attended under the direction of the late Paul R. Yanda and John Leighty who now heads the west campus band. After two weeks of local preparation and rehearsal, the band will travel by bus to Evanston on the morning of the game where bandsmen, directors and wives, drivers and adult chaperones will be the guests of the university for the day. A morning session will be devoted to an intensive 2% hour massed band rehearsal of music and formations. In addition, there will be special clinics fOir Howard Phajin (Continued from page 1) at ea£h of four universities: DePaul, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Roosevelt. The Foundation has been financed by contributions from sales managers and sales representatives throughout the world, from Mr. Phalin's friends and associates in the business and civic community, and from personal friends and from the corporation itself and its parent organization, Fiel d Enterprises, Inc. Presidents of the four universities and of the Foundation called it "A lasting tribute to the magnificent Contribution that Howard Phalin has made to the cause of education, and a constant reminder of the esteem and admiration in which he is held everywhere. A varied assembly of friends and business associates, representing the many aspects of his own varied career, gathered at historic Auditorium theater for the final business session of the twentieth annual International Achievement conference to pay a tribute to Phalin, whose retirement becomes official Sept. 30. He expects to remain active in other business pursuits as well as devoting time to St. Francis hospital board, Evanston, to Mercy hospital board, Chicago, and to Catholic Charities, Chicago. He was cited for heading a $9,200,000 fund raising drive for Mercy hospital. The one time McHenry youth, who was raised on a farm south of the city, graduated from the local high school and later taught in the local rural schools. Phalin is the fifth of eight children of the late John and Julia Powers Phalin of McHenry. He worked for two years to get enough money to enter Notre Dame, and then continued to . keep working part-time, selling 'books and teaching, while at school.

SHOP IN McHENRY Judy was shocked when her 3 children vehemently opposed my buying a new-automobile just like the one their daddy recently purchased. But note what they said when she quizzed them for their reasons. Dads, you can earn $1,000 per week, yeit be a poor father, unless. you rate high on the test below! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D..M.D. CASE G-593: Debby, aged 7, is our daughter's youngest child. Her daddy had enthusiastically been urging us to buy a new car just like the one he had recently acquired. "But we don't want Grandpa buy a car like ours," Debby otested, and was vehemently joined by Peter and Matthew, aged 8 and 9. "For then Pd never be able to pass a driver's test when I grow up. Her mother was surprised at this unanimous veto of my getting the same brand of automobile as theirs. "Debby, I thought you liked Daddy's new car," her mother inquired. "So why don't you want Grancfc> a to buy one just like it?" CONSUMER POLLS Debby s strange attitude helps vindicate the value of consumer polls! And it may seem strange until you get some additional facts. When the children visit us at the farm, they like to take turns at sitting on my lap and steering my heavier automobile. But the preceding Sunday when their Daddy was taking them home from Sunday School, they observed him from the side. "And the steering wheel touched his tummy", Debby tearfully told her mother. "So if Grandpa had a car like ours, there would be no room on his lap for us and we'd never get to drive Grandpa's car anymore!" When Judy gave us these facts over the telephone, I told , her "'ffshetiould reassure the children. < jj For I was keeping my heavier car, so they could still take turnssitting on andsteering the older car. They clapped their hands in glee when they learnedthisfact, so all was well in their household again. Whenwir five Crane children were little, I would also let them steer my automobile, while seated on my lap. Thus, they learned fokeepthe machine in the proper lane and avoid weaving around from the midline to the ditch. As they grew tall enough to reach the floor I would let them steer and use the accelerator, too, although, I always kept my foot on the brake pedal and held one hand ready to grasp the wheel. P "Did I do a good job?" Peter will now invariably inquire aftier he has taken his turn. And I will praise his driving, as well as that of Matthew and Debby. "I did better than Matthew, didn't I, Grandpa?" he will gloat for Peter is the middle child and very competitive. If Matthew would let the car drift to the right side where it would get off the pavement and upon the berm, Peter would county each such error. "I got off only once but Matthew did it twice," he would boast. Although it takes time and patience, parents or grandparents should help tutor children in swimming, driving a car, riding a bicycle, batting a ball, fishing and other laudable activities. Many a dejected boy stands on the sidelines because his daddy failed to play " catch" with him or pitch to him long enough for him to learn to bat the ball fairly well. Dads, you can earn$l,000per week, yet still be a poor father! So send for my 200 point "Rating Scales for Parents", enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents.

T F/ m- i if Even before you plug in your electric dryer, you've saved money. That's called beginning economics. An electric dryer can cost you as much as $40 less than a gas dryer. Once you plug it in, your electric dryer will cost you less than 30^ a week.* Subtract that from the $40 it's possible to save in the first place, and you'll be paid-up for years ahead. (That's called practical economics.) Meanwhile, your electric dryer keeps giving your laundry the same gentle, radiant heat it would get from the sun. With at least one added advantage: every day is sun-day. Any machine that can save laundry for a rainy day (and let you bank on sunshine) ought to be worth a fortune. And it is. It just doesn't cost a fortune. Commonwealth Edison Company •v 'Bated on actual use by a crots-saction of Chicagoland families. Thejbright new ideas trie. *
