All the donations con­ tributed to the drive will be used in the treatment of vic­ tims and for medical training and research.

Mrs. Larry Fuhrer, Wonder Lake, a C/F parent, is the McHenry county chair­ man. Cystic Fibrosis is the most common serious chronic disor­ der of American infants and children - a disorder which causes the body to produce a thick gluey mucus which clogs the lungs. This same tenacious mucus also obstructs the ducts of the pancreas, creating di­ gestive probems. The most serious complications are ^caused by the lung involvement. There is no known cure for C/F (a disease occurring in ap­ proximately 1 in every 1,000 live births) and the life ex­ pectancy is early childhood.

The young teenager was taken to the barn to go over details of the crime. While showing the Investigators around the scene, the juvenile took something out of his right hip pocket and threw it behind a juke box on the floor. A detective saw the boy's action and recovered the object. Behind the juke box, the de­ tective found a roll of $123 in bills. The boy had thrown away 20 five dollar bills, 13 one dollar bills, and one ten dollar bill. After questioning him at the barn, the detectives took the boy to the sheriffs office and notified his grandmother of the arrest. While the one arrest was made, other thieves were able to steal a tractor belonging to Elmer Diedrich, 2028 Wood- lawn Park drive, McHenry, on the night of Aug. 18. The trac­ tor, which was parked in a field on Lincoln road near the Sky­ line outdoor theatre, was a Massey Harris number 333, painted red with yellow rear wheels. A neighbor told sheriff's dep­ uties that she had seen a car with its headlights shying near the tractor at 9:30 p.m. How­ ever, the witness did not see the tractor move. Diedrich re­ ported the theft on Aug. 19. Vandals shot out the windows at the home of John Bigger- staff, 1512 Poplar street, Hol­ iday Hills, for at least the fifth time in less than a year on Aug. 19. Biggerstaff report­ ed to sheriffs deputies that someone had been shooting at his house with a B.B. gun since he first moved there in Oct. of 1968. The deputies found five windows with holes shot into them. After getting a statement from Biggerstaff on the last incident, the deputies searched the neighborhood for someone with a B.B. gun. Nobody in the vicinity, according to Bigger- staffs neighbors, owns or uses a B.B. gun.

Probably if s time to re­ move that old wax which has be­ come mixed with dirt and has collected on the surface.
