Formerly known* as the Norwood Park Imperials, these talented young people have been champions of numerous state and regional contests in the past. The 1972 corps boasts ninety-two members, with a thirty-six man horn line, fifteen drums and a thirty-six-member all-girl color guard.

McHenry's Marine Festival will start Sunday July 16, with the annual Water Fights sponsored by Company' I of McHenry Township Fire Protection district. The fun- filled week will come to an end Sunday, the twenty-third of July, featuring the most colorful parade McHenry has hosted. This annual event is sponsored by the Greater McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce. The parade, with a many -- *7-- beautiful floats, baton groups, drill teams, marching and musical units, will begin to form at 1:30 and will start promptly at 2 p.m. The com­ mittee will be the same which has so successfully produced the Marine Festival parades for the past twelve years. Ed Reid, John Zimny, Ernie Zimny, Jay Osmon and Don Brockrogge will share responsibility again this year for the line of march. Musical units in this vear's parade will be the United States Air Force band from Chanute field, Rantoul, 111., the United States Marine Corps 4th Air Wing Drum corps from Glenview Naval Air station and the United States Naval Drum corps from Great Lakes.

One other corps besides the Vanguards, Imperials, Raiders, Knights and Kilties will participate in the evening gala show as well as be in the afternoon parade.' An- MUSIN" N' MEANDERING (Continued from page 1) Somehow, we haa visions of those old Russian movies where the exiled left sadly for Siberia, never to return. Back at the counter, a clerk was informing an elderly gentleman that his license had expired and he really shouldn't be there at all under his own powdr. "How would he get home?" we wondered. Then| suddenly he disappeared. j , It was about this time w^ realized that no matter what went wrong in a personal/way, the driver test station is a never ending process of efficiency -- without experiencing so much as a ripple. After what seemed like an iriferminable wait, the pleasant lady at the counter called our number. Her first request was for some identification. "Isn't our driver's license enough?" we asked. After all, we knew of no one idiotic enough to volunteer to take our place. When she asked for $8 it was our turn to smile. We reasoned that she must have noted a certain intelligence on our countenance we didn't know existed. Otherwise, why would she have taken the money so soon? We suggested as much, to which the kind lady only nouncement of that corps will be made in the next week. The gates at McCracken field will open at 6 p.m. for the show, which will start promptly at 7. Elegant trophies will be presented at the end of the show to float winners during the afternoon parade. > Come VACATION with for ONE WEEK HAWAII US ^ via United Air Lines and Sheraton Hotels ALL YOU DO IS: Open a new savings account of $50 or more, or add $50 to your present account or simply join our new travel club# -- and you may go along on a Savers Club trip to Hawaii at a low group air fare price and many festive features to enhance your pleasure.

Her confidence took a few buckles out of the knees. It was much later we learned that her long experience in the business gave her the same confidence in everyone. That and the fact that t^ie Secretary of State was eager to build up its coffers. Well, at least it was good to know the big state of Illinois shared our goal, which very simply was to pass the test. Our first mistake was selecting p chair directly in front of the tester. Skipping from one question to the next, we looked his way and felt he was either bored or disgusted with the day's crop of test material. We particularly objected to his habit of telling everybody about their mistakes with a hint of a patronizing tone. We sounded Panic Button No. 1 when we realized none of the first five questions had been answered in our book. They involved common sense, .and this was no time for this kind of nonsense. What we wanted were questions for which we had carefully learned specific answers. v The second seizure occurred mid-way through wherf>we observed Lady No. 8 at the counter. Out of a subdued conversation we heard only one statement: "Can I come back tomorrow and take it again?" 9 This was panic in its final stages. Our heart sank to its lowest level and for the first time we confrontedthe humility of possible failure. Time marched on, and the moment of reckoriTng was at hand. Still solemn-faced, the tester took our paper, made a mark on the first answer and then proceeded quickly to scan the remainder of them and check the road signs. "Didn't we know that the driver who is going straight ahead has precedence over the one making a turn at an in­ tersection?" he asked. We assurred him we did, but we also knew that the fellow who gets to the intersection first has a right to proceed first. We told him so, but he was sunimpressed and informed us that everybody knows that. We suggested that our better judgment told us to mark bbth answers, since both were correct. Second consideration convinced us we should follow the directions carefully. Therefore, we made our choice. What we really wanted to say was that this was a rather stupid question. Realizing, however, that sometimes thoughts are better left unexpressed, we refrained. After all, somebody might have decided that since we were so well informed, perhaps we would like to take the road test also. A quick eye and color test gave our friend no alternative but to pass us. We walked out proudly, recalling that with a bit of luck, we may not have to take another test for nine ye^rs. #• Back at our office our eye caught a sign w£ had all but forgotten. It read, "So far today I made only one mistake --1 got out of bed!" How true -- how tru^! K.A.F. BOATING, AUTO < ACCIDENTS CAUSE INJURIES TO MANY (Continued from page 1) and r ox Lake roads, Pistakee Highlands, resulted in minor injuries for the driver of the car and one of his passengers. James E. Pytel of 4356 W. Kamerling, Chicago, and his passenger, Robert E. Guthrie of 1644 N. Kildare, Chicago, were taken to McHenry hospital by a passing motorist suffering from bruises and lacerations. Two other passengers, Lee W. Wendt of 2422 w. Huron, Chicago, and Robert G. Gluek of 801 W. Annabelle, McHenry, escaped injury. ; Pytel made no formal statement. Evidence showed that Pytel was east-bound on Broadway and as he approached the in­ tersection, for no apparent reason, failed to stop/tor the sign. Skid marks which started 15 feet behind the stop sign, continued 78 feet through the intersection until the auto hit an embankment. At first, the passengers told officers another vehicle had run their car off the road. However, after being con­ fronted with the physical evidence at the scene, they all stated the driver did not stop at the sign. Pytel was ticketed for disobeying a stop sign. Robert J. Hess of 615 S. River road, McHenry, was cited by sheriff's deputies for failure to yield right of way after a two- car accident Sunday evening about 6:30 at the intersection of River road and Lake avenue. Driver of the other car, Joseph A. Cullotta of 3040 W. Logan, Chicago, stated he was north-bound on River road and as he f passed the McHenry Recreation parking lot, Hess pulled out and struck his auto, jj Hess said he was west-bound on Lake and had cut across a corner of the parking lot prior to proceeding north on River road. After waiting for other traffic to clear, he pulled out without seeing the approach of the Cullotta auto. Three people were injured in a one-car accident Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock when an auto driven by George H. Simon of 4312 W. South street, McHenry, hit a light pole in the parking lot of West campus, 4713 W. Crvstal Lake road. Simon and his two passengers, fifteen-year-old Katherine and six-year-old Mary Jo Simon, of the same address, were taken to McHenry hospital for treat­ ment of their injuries. Simon told officers that while pulling away from the tennis courts, he hit a light pole with the front end of his auto. Bernard d. Kovacs of Car- AllE NOT ALIKE!

Waukegan road, recently. Kovacs stated he was west­ bound on Waukegan road when he passed a highway sign in­ dicating the turn for Elgin. He attempted to tuni around in front of Buss Ford garage when he struck plajc glass windows, breaking one and cracking the other. > He told officers he panicked and ran. Frank C. Meyer, who witnessed the accident, pursued the Kovacs auto until the driver returned to - the scene. . The unoccupied auto of Wayne J. Burna , of Pell Lake, Wis., slipped out of gear while parked at the McHenry Market Place park­ ing lot and ran through two plate glass windows of McNeil's. The accident oc­ curred Tuesday morning about 11:15.. • Burns stated he had been shopping when his auJo ap­ parently slipped out oTgear and 1 rolled into the southeast corner of the building, breaking the windows. BILL SEEKS LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS BY SPECIAL AUTHORITY (Continud from page 1) The bill, known as House Bill 1440, was sponsored in the House by Rep. Lindberg and in the Senate by Karl I. Berning (R., Deerfield) and had the active support of Reps. Bruce Waddell (R., Dundee), Thomas Hanahan (D., McHenry) and Lester Cunningham (R., Belvidere). Lindberg was especially laudatory of the work done by McHenry County Board Member Conrad Floeter and Albert M. Jourdan, Jr., an assistant to Governor Ogilvie and Republican chairman of McHenry county. Floeter, a newly elected member, is chairman of the board's legislative committee. "An earlier attempt to provide this relief for sub­ division residents was made by Rep. Hanahan in 1965", Lind­ berg said, " but the Supreme court held the law un­ constitutional." Lindberg said he and others brought this problem to the attention of the Constitutional Convention and the new State Constitution specifically authorizes non- home rule "counties to un­ dertake local improvements by special assessment. "This bill implements that provision of the Constitution," Lindberg ^ said. Lindberg said he expects the Governor to sign the bill and recommends that residents of subdivisions begin meetings to determine what improvements they desire. He advised them to notify the chairman of the county board, Walter Dean, McHenry, so that the Com­ mittee on Local Improvements can begin processing their requests. INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE SALE OF FIREWORKS (Continued from page 1) carnival worker was confronted he reported that he didn't intend to sell the fireworks but would have given them to the boys. Several cartons of firecrackers and sparklers were confiscated from the truck of his auto. During investigation, it was learned that a fellow carnival worker also had a quantity of fireworks. He was located and consented to the inspection of his vehicle which also produced a quantity of contraband fireworks along with a pistol which had been secured in the trunk of his auto. He was able to prove ownership of the weapon, but having no firearms owners identification card, the weapon was confiscated. No arrests were made and the confiscated merchandise is being held by the sheriff's department until it can be properly disposed of. o The Uniter States' first nuclear powered submarine, U.S.S.
