Veugeler of Crystal Lake, and Lis sons, Robert and James, have been awarded the third annual Theta award by the MeHenry County Defenders for exceptional effort to preserve the environment. The presentation was made Sunday by Defenders President Brian G. Koukol at a reception honoring the Veugelers which was held at the Koukol home in Crystal Lake. The Veugelers were presented with an engraved pewter plate commemorating the occasion. - They also received a citation. In discussing the award, Koukol recalled the countless hours of time which all the Veugelers had contributed to the Defenders' recycling drives and the many times they donated expensive heavy equipment so that glass and cans could be collected and then delivered by truck to manufacturing plants for recycling. "No price tag could possibly be placed on such selfless efforts", Koukol stated. The Veugelers' concern for the environment goes beyond recycling. They have main­ tained a 22-acre site near Crystal Lake Park district. If the Park district is unable to FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of Dec. 15, 1932) Considerable excitement was caused Saturday afternoon when a car driven by a party from Chicago skidded on the icy pavement and caught Are as it crashed .into a tree near the Le^ris Adams home on Richmond roa4 The third annual beauty contest and jubilee sponsored by the Farm Bureau was held Dec. 10 at the High school at Harvard.

The local Legion Auxiliary is once again sponsoring such a campaign. It is their aim to see that every veteran in a hospital receive a worthwhile gift at Christmas time. There is reason for double celebration in the Erwin La ures home since Wednesday, Dec. 17, when twin boys were born to the couple at Woodstock hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Justen accept this gift, they are considering offering it to the MeHenry County Conservation district. Previous recipients of the Theta award were Ward Duel of MeHenry, former ad­ ministrator of the MeHenry County Health department, and Kenneth Fiske of Woodstock, executive secretary of the MeHenry county Conservation district. The "Theta" symbol was chosen by the Defenders for their annual award because because of its position on the green and white ecology flag. It is a Greek letter representing the death that awaits this planet if positive steps are not taken to save. AN IMPORTANT MIND CONTROL & ESP SEMINAR/LECTURE FOR EVERYONE INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING MENTAL POWERS Recently, many national publications such as Life. Madamoiselle and Sales Management, featured articles on Silva Mind Control. These articles discussed a fantastic break­ through, a new science dealing with con­ scious control of brain waves. This new science is called Alphagenics and concerns itself with the Alpha rhythms of brain. Noted researchers discussed how any person can learn to control brain waves. Exploration of this almost unknown continent - the human brain - has been pioneered by a soft-spoken, researcher. Jose Silva, of the Institute of Psychoriento- logy in Laredo, Texas. This sincere, dedicated scientist has been training people to enhance Alpha Brain Wave production for many years. _ ALPHA BRAIN WAVE FUNCTION-Twenty six years ago Silva and his associates began their research in Mind Control to see if it was possible to Increase a person's IQ factor. Amazingly, Silva discovered that not only could IQ be increased but a person trained in this technique could even control certain areas of the Autonomic System - heart beat, respiration, blood pressure, etc. The implications of this breakthrough with regard to health and disease were staggering. With Mind Control, students have reported that they have been able to control pain, accelerate healing, eliminate insomnia, migraine headaches, as well as untpld psychosomatic problems. In-depth studies also revealed that anyone with a normal brain and sufficient training could develop so-called ESP and clair­ voyance. 90,OOOGRADUATES-COAST TO COAST- In 1966, the Institute decided to release their findi%s to the general public. Techniques had been refined to where only a few hours of class time were all that was required to become a truly effective person. RESULTS GUARANTEED - With the mastery and the enhancement of Alpha Brain Wave function, students have reported they could relax anytime they desire, banish anxiety and tension, eliminate pain, enhance learning capacity and memory, eliminate bad habits, create good habits and control weight and smoking. By learning to function at the Alpha level you will easily develop psychic power and learn practical appli­ cations of ESP. Become a better student, parent, employee or employer and a more effective problem solver. 90,000 Graduates Coast to Coast THURS. DECEMBER 7 BARRINGTON MOTEL Rte. 14 West of Rte 59 Barrington, III.
