Senator Everett Dirksen assisted with the christening of the "Voteswagon" bus, and lamented wasting champagne on a bus windshield. In this photograph, Congressman McClory is shown with Julie and Tricia Nixon, daughters of the Presidential nominee, and Mrs. Mary Brooks, assistant chairman of the GOP National committee. from HISTORY'S SCRAPB00K' DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS not, in honesty, deny that the building occupied a majestic spot, overlooking the picturesque square. However, it seems that resistance efforts to other sites has a more material aspect. There is a desire to keep this important structure in the center of the businsss district. In fairness, one cannot condemn the right to promote. Nevertheless, there is a trend in many cities to converge upon one central spot to the point of creating a real problem of congestion. It seems reasonable that with the growth pattern continuing, the business areas of most cities will need to be expanded, and not necessarily in one direction. There has been some evidence of ? IcHenry attempting to centralize to the point of creating serious traffic problems. These plans have been "laid to rest"- at least for the present, and we heps for the future also. We remembered the old song, 44 A Little Street Where Old Friends Meet", last weekend when we attended open house and dedication of the new west campus. Neither the street nor the building were quite what the song writer referred to in size, but the friendly spirit was there as we came upon face after face of persons we seldom see. If was a pleasant occasion and must lave been a very proud and happy time for those who invested so greatly in time and energy to make it possible. Apart from the building itself, something else was heartwarming to many of us. The many people who have felt no small amount of concern for riots, demonstrations, and just plain rudeness to persons in high% stations, were proud of McHenry* s ovation accorded Senator Dirksen. Most of us have expressed dismay at the humiliation our Vice-President has suffered in appearances throughout the country. We may disagree vigorously with political policies, but it may be just our old fashioned view that we should have respect for the offices our elected leaders hold. K.A.F. Letters of Commendation honoring them for their high performance on the 1968 National Merit Scholarship Qualifying test (NMSQT) have been awarded to five students at Marian Central Catholic high school, Principal Rev. Philip L. Kennedy has announced. Those named included Gary C. Schaefer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence J. Schaefer of 1509 N. Court street, McHenry; and Mary E. Boetsch, daughter of Mrs. William Boetsch of Burton's Bridge. They are among 39,000 students in the United States who scored in the upper 2 percent of those who will graduate from high school in 1969. Hie Commended students rank just below the 15,000 Semifinalists announced in September by the National Merit Scholarship corporation. John M. Stainaker , president of NMSC, said: "AlthoughCommended students advance no further in the merit scholarship competition, their outstanding record in a nation-wide program deserves public recognition. Their significant academic attainment gives promise to continued success in college.

In September of 1951, he began pre-theological training at Concordia college, Fort Wayne, Ind., and graduated in 1953. His theological training continued at Concordia seminary, St. Louis, Mo. from where he graduated on June 6, 1958. ORDAINED IN '58 Following his graduation from the seminary, he was ordained into the Holy Ministry on June 15, 1958, by his father in Eden, New York. He was installed as pastor and missionary of the Omaha (Neb.) Field of Deaf Missions on July 20,1958, where he served until 1965. During this time he authored several tracts for the deaf and a religious workbook for deaf children. He also served as advisor of the mid-west region of Deaf Missions. In December, 1965, he accepted the pastorate of Atonement Lutheran church, Omaha, where he has served to the present time. Pastor Graef has also served the church as zone counselor for both the Lutheran Laymen's league and the Lutheran Women's Missionary league, and was his district's contact man for the Boy Scout program. On June 9, 1956, Pastor Graef was married to Miss Irene M. Agle of Eden, New York. Their home has been blessed with six children; Kenneth, 10; Kathleen,, 8; Karen, 7; Diane, 4; David, 2; and Daniel, 2 months. An informal reception for Pastor and Mrs. Graef will follow the service of installation. The entire community is invited to attend both the service and the reception and to help welcome the new family to the community. Pastor Graef will preach his first sermon at Zion on Sunday, Oct. 13, at both of the regularly scheduled morning worship services, 7:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Center Plans Open House (Continued from page 1) The staff at the center is keeping in close contact with the client. At this writing, he seems to be adapting to society and his fellow co-workers with remarkable ability. Members of the staff at the center include the executive director, Robert Lambourn; the workshop director, Barbara J. Smith; and workshop manager, Frank Schmidt. Directors of the center come from all over the county. They are President, Reed F. Kaiser, Johnsburg; vicepresident, Fred A. Rozum, Woodstock; Secretary, Mrs. Wanda Pears, Crystal Lake; treasurer, ^Louis F. Aiello, of Woodstock; trustees, Mrs. Nancy Heatley,/Cary; Mrs. Verona Huff, Richmond; Father Marx Jones, Crystal Lake; Mrs. Dorothy Mathews, Harvard; Mrs. Dorothy Pitzen, McHenry; Raymond H. Rohlwing, Marengo; and Mrs. Joan Schloskey, McHenry. An important part of the training at the center is the social program. The staff has found that in every case, they have been able to train each individual from a work skill standpoint and in the future, major emphasis will be based on the social maturity of the mentally retarded. Before anyone can succeed independently in society, he must be able to perform within the limits that society's standards have set for him. One of the major goals of the vocational training program is to employ the mentally retarded on the competitive labor market whenever possible, and if possible, it follows that the clients in the training program must be trained to succeed socially. They must be given the opportunity to realize an exposure to the activities to which all adults have been exposed. Specifically, the Pioneer center social program includes a singing, dancing, and bowling program. In each case, the goal is not necessarily to become proficient in each case, merely to build social maturity and to afford the mentally retarded, an opportunity to participate in normal adult activities. The singing group, known as the Pioneers, made their first formal appe&Wtotce! before the „ parefits of the clients. In the future, the group hopes to make appearances throughout the county, in order to make the mentally retarded a meaningful part of the community. Their FRI., OCT., 4, 1968 - PLAINDEALER - PG.J numbers include "Cabaret", "This Old Man", "You'll Never Walk Alone" and many others. In this program, the mentally retarded are afforded the opportunity to conduct themselves as ladles and gentlemen, and to feel a part of society, through song. The dancing program is most important because of the stress on a mutual relationship between men and women. The bowling program is useful in that the stress is placed on co-ordination. The mentally retarded have poor motor coordination and this particular activity brings into play, many muscles which build strength and helps develop muscular skill in movement. Future programs include swimming, which uses every muscle in the body; visiting business houses; training in the use of currency, and generally expose the mentally retarded to the community. This is truly a heartwarming story which is unfolding at the Pioneer center which formerly housed Wee Willie's . Every resident of the area is urged to attend the open house and witness the progress being made in the field of mental retardation. How Can I? Q. How can I preserve shelled walnuts? A. Pack dry in sterilized jars and seal the jars tightly. Then place the jars in the oven and bake at 275 degrees for an hour. Give the tops of the jars an extra tight twist after removing from the oven. The walnuts will keep, with this processing, for up to five years. Q. How can I store hats so that the crowns won't be crushed out of shape? A. Crumple up enough newspapers to fit into the crowns of the hats, then pack them in boxes.
