PG. 12# - PLAINDEALER- FRI., JUNE 14, 1968 ComfTlitt6Q!ftGn Musin9 and Meanderin (Continued from page 1) ill general following last week's tragic time. There must have been many among the huge crowd who experienced a real satisfaction to know that from this fine class were sure to be some young people whose future contributions would make our hearts --and theirs--swell with pride. For somehow, many of us have not found it possible, even in oui* least proud hours, to ignore the majority of fine individuals who have many times unwillingly become a part of a trend in society they have been unable to stop. Too often history has shown that it has taken a real tragedy to awaken a nation. We will be very surprised if a gun law is the entire answer. After a long period of drifting into a freedom that carries little responsibility, it would seem an about-face might be in order along many lines. 1 after serving a grateful public for many years. His business interest extends back to 1918 in Chicago, and for many years local homemakers have benefitted from his desire to give the public what it wants. Director Bob Freund is hoping for a bit more quiet at the city park when the band presents its future programs. For many years a problem has been created by parents allowing the children to run and play noisily, directly in front of the band. Bob says it is particularly distracting to the musicians since the youngsters rarely scream in tune with the music. It was good to hear the voice of a long time friend, Edward J. Tussey, who returned home this past week after eighty-four days in the hospital for surgery. Mr. Tussey opened the city police switchboard with Former Police Chief Richard Lemker twelve years ago. Since that time it has been our pleasure to receive many favors from this pleasant, knowledgeable man. Many a day our work has been made easier through his cooperation, and we are looking forward to the day when he will be able to return to the job. We lost a good friend in death this past week. For several years Charles McKean was our neighbor--and he proved to be the best in any number of ways, from offering much needed advice on a variety of subjects in which he was well versed, to treating us from his vast knowledge of the culinary art. Even after leaving McHenry we kept in touch, and particularly on Father's Day when it was a real source of pleasure for us to remember him as our "adopted dad". Next Sunday we will remember fondly one of our, favorite people! A word of congratulations and wishes for a happy retirement to Peter Schaefer, who closed his Main street grocery store June Old Glory, The Star-Spangle Banner, The Stars and Stripes-• your country's flag. Fly it every day, if you wish, but be sure to fly it Friday, June 14. That's Flag Day. It was on June 14, 1777, that the Continental Congress passed this resolution: "Resolved, that the flagofthe thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellations." No one knows who designed this flag, or who made the first one. William J. Canby said in 1870 that his grandmother, Betsy Ross, made the first one, but historians doubt it. The Continental Congress left no record to show why it chose red, white and blue for the flag, but in 1782 the Congress of the Confederation chose these same colors for the newly designed Great Seal of the United States. The resolution on the seal said red is for hardiness and courage, white is for purity and innocence, and blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice. And the flag itself? "The Stars and Stripes stands for the land, , the people, the government, and the ideals of the United States no matter when or where it is displayed." Fly it proudly. K.A.F. CITY POLICE INVESTIGATE TWO CRASHES City police investigated an accident involving a motorcycle and a car which occurred last Saturday on west Waukegan road. Donald W. Hamer ofBerwyn told authorities he was southbound at the intersection, which he entered and3 turned left. He failed to see a motorcycle driven by George Guznicazak ofEvanston, which was behind a truck. As the front of the vehicle cleared the intersection, the two collided head-on. In another accident, Monica Wright of 2908 N. Oakwood avenue, McHenry, was parked in the rear of a parking lot on Elm street when another vehicle, driven by Mary T. Duffy of Chicago, driving through the lot, was struck by the other car which rolled back. ioce Results (Continued from page 1) over Orville Gosse, 67 to 65 in Precinct 8, and Anthony Varese, incumbent, was winner over Milton J.

The Food Stamp program represents another means of using America's agricultural abundance to improve the diets of low-income citizens by increasing their food purchasing power. 11 works like this. The Department of Public Aid determines the eligibility of the family and tells them the amount they will need to invest in the program, an amount that generally depends on the family size and income. Eligible persons pay that amount in cash for food coupons, and receive free enough additional coupons to enable them to buy substantially increased food supplies. Recipients spend their coupons just as they would money in any authorized retail food store. They can buy any food for human consumption they choose, except for foods plainly identified as being imported. Since this is a food program, non-food items such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, soaps, pet food, vegetable seeds and the like cannot be purchased with food stamp coupons. Grocers redeem the coupons at local banks through authorized food wholesalers. Banks redeem them through the Federal Reserve System. Surveys have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Food Stamp Program first introduced in May, 1961. These findings show that food sales, in dollars, increased an average of 8 per cent. Meats, produce and other grocery items shared in the increase, as did both large and small stores. eford (D) 48.

Area Patrons For June Art Fair Sought the show, any person, organization or business can become a patron by pledging to purchase a piece of art prior to the official opening of the show. Mrs. James L.Strom ofWonder Lake is chairman of the patron's Purchase Committee. The patron is entitled to a special viewing before the Art Fair opens to the public. He may increase his expenditure at the time of selection - or if nothing is chosen, the pledge will be returned.. A patron's purchase gift certificate is an excellent and personal way of giving a gift to a friend or loved one. For anyone who wishesto become a patron of this Art Fair, you need only contact Mrs. Frank K. Johnson, at P.O.Box 505, McHenry. Special viewing for patrons has been scheduled for June 19. Since the major source of contributions to McHenry hospital^ from the Woman's auxiliary comes from the funds raised through the Art Fair, it is hoped that many new people discover the excitement of being a patron. John H. Greene well known artist from Crystal Lake will do the one-man show. Mr. Greene has worked closely with the Art Fair for many years and his showing promises to be most interesting.

ESTIMATE SCHOOL RACE RESULTS (Continued from page 1) district cooperate with the city in acquiring another adviser for for the summer park recreation program. Mrs. Bonnie Meyers was reappointed school treasurer for the district. Business Manager Donald Heldt spoke on a proposal for a student insurance plan for next year, but no decision was reached since the program would call for 100 per cent participation. The question of employing two business managers, one for each district, was also brought before the board. It was announced that an evaluation of Landmark school by the state ' would be made on June 20. Board members discussed the issuance of deeds between the city and school district, settling ownership of a small parcel of property between Landmark school and the city hall. The senior citizen program was announced as a fine success, with 163 enrolled. Also successful was the party at the roller rink held recently for school patrol members. Gene Little has announced that School Districts No. 15 and No. 156 have organized a Summer Youth center for students in Grades 5 through 10 at the Junior high school. The Youth center will operate from June 10 through July 17, and will be open from 8 a.m. until noon. The purpose of the center is to provide a meeting place for the youth of McHenry under adult supervision and to offer a variety of recreational activities. The Junior high school is centrally located for most of the students and is ideal for teenage socializing in a properly supervised setting. The gym is the main attraction for most students and will be open daily during the week with a staff on duty. Students will be under adult supervision only while engaged in recreational activities. The participants may arrive and leave as their time allows, but they will not be the responsibility of the Youth center at that time. If this pilot project is a suc- ,cess this summer, it will be expanded on a larger scale for next year. ITEM: Brick continues to be the most popular material for house exteriors.
