Of­ ficers noted the condition of the road at this point was wet and snow packed. Another passenger in the vehicle escaped injury.

The public and seventh and eighth graders who are in­ terested are invited to attend. Refreshments will be served afterward in the cafeteria. RECOVER STOLEN AUTO FRIDAY (Continued from page 1) carry boxes up the fire escape of the hotel. Police Chief Kenneth Espey^ and Officer Zujewski entered Apartment 9 on the second floor and found the boxes of food. Both men said they made the theft because they were hungry. Mr. and Mrs. Lobitz were called to the police station and made positive iden­ tification of the items. Greve andi Peterson were questioned further about the disappearance of the car owned by Police Commissioner Conway. They told officers that after depositing the food in their apartment, they drove to Wonder Lake, then returned to the city and drove into the 4060 block on Orchard Beach road, in Huemann's subdivision, where they stopped. Placing a rock on the gas pedal and putting the auto in gear, the two men watched the car go over the bank and into the river, where it was almost entirely submerged when found. Lt. Kranz contacted the State's Attorney's office, after which charges were made. MUSIN' N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) The column she sent was called Jim Becker's Hawaii. It opened with these woi*ds: "Have you got one Christmas card left over? Take it, if you will, and think about sending it - - on this Christmas eve -- to a boy named Tony Schif- ferdecker." Becker continued by outlining much of the in­ formation the Plaindealer contained a few weeks ago on Tony, the 12-year-old youngster from pistakee Highlands who is making a valiant fight against a drVad disease. Incidentally, we noted in the brief Comment that Tony an ardent^ootball fan, treasures a recent football autographed by all thfc flayers on the Chicago Bears team. It has been called to our attention that in the pre-holiday season $1,600 dozen cookies were given to the Red Cross for distribution at Downey Veterans hospital. Nineteen lap robes for wheel chair patients were also taken to the hospital Dec, 17 for the annual Christmas party for the veterans. The number of cookies tripled the county chapter quota of 500 dozen, which should give every contributor a warm feeling of satisfaction. K.A.F.

For most people never analyze the mechanics of our spoken language and thus they often fail to pronounce words precisely. Even on TV and in the movies, manvActors violate the simple rules of correct enunciation. Let your childrefTtise a mirror and try the experiment below. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE L-524: Jack B., aged 20, is a Chinese college student. "Dr. Crane," he began, "my Public Speaking professor says I am difficult to understand. "And it isn't because of any foreign dialect but he says I use too much guttural speech. "So how can I overcome this handicap?" CLIP YOUR WORDS The purpose of consonants, like "p," "b," "m" and the rest, is to help you shut off the vowel sounds neatly. But many Orientals seem to be addicted to guttural speech for they don't use their lips as much as they should. This is also true of people with thick lips, for they make sounds deep in their throat and thus fail to project words from the front of their mouth. For precise speech, with clearcut pronunciation, you must break up the babble of vowel sounds with your tongue and lip action. People who pronounce Harvard as "Hah-vud" are lazy, for they avoid the extra Hospital Notes McHENRY HOSPITAL Patients admitted to McHenry hospital included Walter Messel, James Wullpen, Dawn Whitney, Jenny Schultz, Trent Middlekauff, Sr., Dominic Grande, Ruth Pflug, Theresa Kelly, Baby Jeffrey Godshal, Charles Secord, Dennis Wegener, William Dougherty, Edward Selen, Gerald P.

Actually, the precise speakers pronounce Harvard as "Hah-er-verd," which is correct. Many Orientals, too, have trouble saying "Very," which they pronounce as "Velly," for it demands more precise ar­ ticulation to pronounce the "r" sound. Youngsters of pre-school age may thus pronounce "Rooster" as "Wooster." In our spoken language, we have vowels and two kinds of consonants,, namely, the "breath" consonants, such as "p" and \ "f," and their "voiced" ttyins, such as "b" and "v." 1 In our schools for the deaf, the toddlers are taught such "breath" consonants as "p" by having them blow out a lighted candle. They close their lips for the "p" sound and then suddenly open them as they emit a puff of air to snuff out the flame. Compare the "twin" con­ sonants below. Those at the left are purely breath sounds, while their twins at the right look alike to the deaf lipreader, but Births McHENRY HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. John Schweder announce the birth of a daughter Jan. 3.

VETERANS MEET The first meeting of 1972 for the Veterans of World War I, McHenry Barracks, will be held at the Legion home Thursday, Jan. 6, at 8 o'clock. basketball courts, hill clim­ bing, and nature trails. All present Indian Guides are urged to register at the Lake Region YMCA, 95 Grant street, Crystal Lake, by Dec. 24. For Your Information Among the 'personal data' required on the deceased are: full name, birthplace and date, father's and mother's name, Social Security number, military service details, list of organizations and offices held. The latter in­ formation is valuable, not only for death benefits, but for participation in the funeral service. It is well for this data to be prepared in advance.

You parents can make an interesting game of this series of consonants by letting your child watch himself in a mirror: Breath Voiced p b & m f v c &k g d 1 v s z To a lipreader, the words "papa" and "mama" look alike. Alas, there are hundreds of such "look-alike" pairs of words, called homophenes. In fact, homophenes may involve triplets, too, like "bat," "mat" and "pat," all of which confuse the deaf lipreaders, since they appear the same to the eyes of the person who can't hear. Public * speakers can also benefit by trying to shift their sounds out of the deep throat and push them against the far wall by use of their lips and the tip of their tongue. This has been a standard technique of our /Northwestern University School of Speech. Urge your xiddies to ex­ periment with sounds and they will find that "i" is really composed of "Ah-ee," uttered quickly, and long "u" is a compound of "ee-oo."
