PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1972 MUSIN" NT MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) voting day"* This makes anything sacred to some Irish­ men Quote: "We propose to convince the Government to acknowledge this legally, so that we can close the banks for the day. and thus the bankers could join us at church on this magnificent occasion For tunately, the world will be improved if we can lure the bankers into church one day a year" Note: We take issue with this one - not with the bankers' attendance at church, but those koffee-klotches afterward The most stoic banker hasn't a chance with the blarney of an Irishman Quote: "Eventually, we may expand to have St Patrick s day celebrated for a week". Note: A week0 Any office that has even one employee from the old sod can hardiv stand one day of celebrating without feeling slightly green Seven days0 Never! Quote: "Many of us were fortunate to be born Irish but for friends who were not born to the green, it is another recourse It is something like Baptism - by blood or desire " Note: Merely a matter of self-defense If the snakes hadn't been driven out by St. Patrick, they'd have taken off on their own in the melee of 1972 Quote "Since our campaign to make Ireland the fifty-first state is now receiving wide consideration, our next project is to get St. Patrick's day of­ ficially designated a legal holiday". Note Please do We work with a few Irishmen who let everybody know that the whole world should be celebrating, and unless our enthusiasm matches their own, we might as well forget that we're even a human being So go ahead, folks, do what the man says. Write to Ed Moran, chairman, Committee to Make St. Patrick's Day a legal holiday, 2501 N. Central avenue, Chicago, 111., 606 39. We do remember, as you asked us to, that "the Arabs and Texans have the oil, but we have the 'holy water' " And we will remind the calendar printers to 'Wait for me in '73" when, with some luck, March 17 may be a red (oops, green) letter day on the calendar. But don't expect the same gusto from the rest of us whose forebears were not blessed with having stepped on Ireland's soil, or maybe did it with a skip and a jump. Some of us still hear, above your raucous (vies, a faint echo of the Freunds, the Urbinskis, the Andersons and the Celinis calling for equal time. We hear you -- we hear you! Just give us time to accept your statement that "everyone's Irish in spirit, if not truly descended from the race of kings". And in the heart of an Irish man. so it will ever be!

Three members of School District 15 may be named to the McHenry Planning com­ mission. The names of two board members and one ad­ ministrator will be submitted to the city for consideration. It was announced that 200 students have registered to date for the summer school program. The number of faculty members who ex­ pressed an interest in teaching was thirty-eight. Under Federal Project Title I, the program is funded in the amount of $26,000.This includes the Gifted .Program for In­ dependent Study and COPE for the educationally disad­ vantaged. Board members were brought up to date on the Educational Materials exhibit planned in District 15 Saturday, March 25. It will be held in the new Middle school, which features the open-classroom concept. The learning center and the nine surrounding suites will be used by twenty-eight bookmen for displaying some of their materials and for con­ ference areas. Principals and staff mem­ bers from many nearby schools are invited to take advantage of this exhibit. The establishment of a graduate extension center was announced. It avails teachers in District 15 an opportunity to grow professionally. Forty teachers signed up for the first course, "In­ dividualized Instruction" held March 16 at Parkland school. About eleven sessions will be held. Ten hours of graduate credit toward a Master's degree can evolve from these courses. Asked the approximate cost of the program, Business Manager William Landis set forth a figure of possibly $8,000. The board was made aware of a possible donation of a natural marsh area adjacent to Hilltop school by BKT En terprises of McHenry for educational purposes. The district would be required to maintain a path from the school to the property, which contains about 22 acres. Board Members Richard Golbeck and Robert Thornton reported on a recent visit to Parkland school and advised members both of failures of materials in the school and vandalism. The former in­ cludes floor tile and heating equipment, among oth^r items. The members also recounted many acts of vandalism - damaged fixtures and doors ripped from the hinges. Dr. Boos reassured the board that much of the vandalism had occurred earlier in the school year and much improvement has been noted in recent months.

She was ticketed for failure to yield at an intersection. Donald Larsen of 7658 W. Summerdale, Chicago, the second driver, was able to drive to McHenry hospital for treatment of injuries. A passenger, Fred Vargo, of 1442 N Central, Cicero, was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

As she proceeded across, she struck the west­ bound car driven by Larsen. George T. Worts of 1315 N. North drive, McHenry, was ticketed by sheriff's police for disobeying a no-passing zone after he struck a McHenry township road district snow plow driven by Robert F. Dixon of 3802 Timothy lane, McHenry. The accident occurred Tuesday morning about 11:10 at 3703 Route 31, near McHenry. Worts stated he was north­ bound on the highway and observed the township truck in front of him. He thought it was plowing snow so he passed in a no-passing zone and struck the plow with the right side of his car. Dixon told deputies he was north-bound and was slowing to make a turn when the Worts car struck the plow. His turn signals were operating at the time of the accident. Cheryl M. Harman of 421 W. Jackson, Woodstock, was ticketed by city police for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident following a two-car accident Friday morning about 8:10 at 4614 W. Route 120. She was slightly injured in the mishap. The driver said she was west­ bound on the highway when the car in front of her, driven by William E. Halstead of 412 Highland drive, McHenry, stopped suddenly and she was unable to avoid hitting his auto. Halstead said the vehicle in front of him stopped and when he applied his brakes he was struck in the rear by the Harman auto. Vincent A. Weyland of 1124 S. Blackhawk, McHenry, was cited for driving while license was suspended after a one-car accident Tuesday morning about 1 o'clock at 114 S. River road, southeast of McHenry. Weyland stated he was south­ bound on the road when his car started to slide. He lost control of the car, ran off the road and struck a fence. Damaged in the mishap was a fence post and 20 feet of fencing. A ticket for failure to reduce speed was issued to Craig R. Pierce of 407 Plum street, Algonquin, after his auto struck the rear of a car driven by Leigh C. O'Conner of 366 Hamilton, Elgin. The collision occurred at 3814 W. Elm, McHenry. Pierce told city police he was west-bound on Elm and had just changed lanes when the O'Conner car in front of him stopped. He applied his brakes but skidded into her auto.

INVESTIGATE AREA BREAK-INS (Continued from page 1) sheriffs police investigated a burglary at the summer home of Steve Pankotan of 141 Little road, McHenry. A neighbor discovered that the home had been entered by kicking in the door after attempts to enter through a window had failed. Taken from the premises were a dinette set, a kitchen cabinet, rotisserie-broiler, dishes, table service, dining room chairs, linens, tools and other items. When Elmer Krumwiede of 416 Lily lane, McHenry, returned to his home after two days absence, he discovered his home had been entered by removing the hasp from a basement door. Taken from the basement were four black-wall tires. The summer home of Paul Ravennas of 7201 Hiawatha drive, Wonder Lake, was en­ tered sometime within the past month. Entry was made by breaking an attic window and crawling through a hole in the living room ceiling. The house was completely ransacked. However, kitchen utensils and bedding were the only items missing from the premises. Stereo equipment and $21 in change were taken from the Martin Frederick home at 4908 W. Shore drive, McHenry, sometime Tuesday. Entry was gained by removing a storm window and prying open a kitchen window. Frederick discovered the burglary when he returned home Tuesday evening.

Taken were two television sets, one a color set, both with a value of $800. Investigation revealed that two persons were involved in the burglary.
