PAGE 18-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1973 MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) One point is especially stressed -- FISH is not charity, it's for people of all means. "We help each other out" is the way Mrs. Jones explained the program. People of all ages can volunteer, and the range of services can be as varied as the number who choose to par­ ticipate. Initial plans will get off the ground locally when the nucleus group learns one thing: How many people are in­ terested enough to offer their time, talent and energy to help a neighbor. The organizing ladies have no doubt that the number who need these ser­ vices will be numerous. Anyone wishing to volunteer or to learn more about FISH should call McHenry An­ swering Service. He (or she) will be referred to informed persons for the facts. If giving is really better than receiving, here is an op­ portunity for many people to be fulfilled through service to others. At the organization meeting, Mrs. Rietesel suggested: "Give away a little of yourself, not only at Christmas but throughout the year". K.A.F. OUTLINE COUNTY FAIR FEATURES (Continued from page 1} from this community support. Snowmobile racing was inaugurated two years ago before the grandstand. Now Everett Hunter, chairman, plans to hold races much like last year's as these powerful little machines attract a great deal of excitement.

FILL COUNTY POSITIONS IN CATHOLIC EDUCATION (Continued from page 1) County Board of Catholic Education, announced the appointments. "Through the work of the two priest- educators, the board will ex­ pand its leadership and service to the educational work of the church in McHenry county," Father Petit stated. Father Moses comes to McHenry county from the Academy of Our Lady high school in Chicago, where he served as administrator for three years. Previously, Father Moses had served as teacher and Dean of Studies at Sacred Heart seminary in Geneva, 111. He earned a Master's degree in Educational Administration from Loyola university, and is currently enrolled in the Doctoral program at Loyola. HEART ATTACK CLAIMS FORMER POLICE CHIEF (Continued from page 1) attack. He was declared dead on arrival at McHenry hospital. State police said Mr. Watkins was driving west on the high­ way when his car left the road. Two passengers, Pearl Watkins, 72, and Jeanne Watkins, 40, were injured slightly. Funeral arrangements were incomplete Thursday morning in the Wauconda funeral home. BLAZE DESTROYS FARM HOUSE (Continued from page 1) arrived later that morning ruled out arson. However, no cause of the blaze was im­ mediately determined. A representative of Sun- nyside Security heard an ex­ plosion and hurried to alert Fire Chief Schmitt shortly after midnight. Schmitt said he was able to determine only that the fire started in the area of the front porch. Members of the Spring Grove Fire department, using four pieces of equipment, were joined by Fox Lake and McHenry Company II departments. They remained on the scene until after 4:30 in the morning to extinguish the flames, which had gained such headway the house could not be saved. Schmitt said it was necessary to return later when small fires broke out again. The house was located about a half mile from the ski lodge which has been operated for more than a year. Although no owners were identified, several well known athletes reportedly were among those who backed the undertaking at its begin­ ning. The lodge was never completed. It was understood that Hidden Valley officials, who purchased the former Kenneth Busch property--160 acres in all--intended to convert the home into an office. The Busch family moved early this summer. AUTHORITIES FACE RASH OF BURGLARIES, THEFTS (Continued from page 1) had been gained through a window from an adjoining business, Continental Auto Sales, which had also been burglarized. The only item known missing from the premises of Continental Auto Sales was the notary seal of an employee. However, inventory will be completed to determine if anything else was taken. Entry was gained through glass panelling to the neighboring business. Investigation is continuing into the incidents. Several burglaries were reported to county authorities on one day last week. Rinjfwood Grocery at 5018 Barnard Mill road, Ringwood, was entered by prying open a door. All that was determined to be missing was $2.20 in cash.

Edward Indermitte of 902 Comes Trail, McHenry, reported to county authorities Wednesday morning that 60 Touluse geese and 30 Chinese geese, all weighing over ten pounds and half grown, were missing from the pens at his residence. A gate leading to the pens was found standing open early in the morning. The loss was estimated at $810. Monday afternoon, deputies were called to investigate the report by a resident on W. Orchard drive, McCullom Lake, that several children had been seen leaving an unoc­ cupied summer home in the area. Inspection revealed entry had been made through a rear screened porch. It was not determined if anything was taken. A neighbor at 5216 W. Orchard, reported that during his absence over the weekend, his home was entered and $21 in cash and a necklace were taken. Through investigation it was determined that three area children were responsible. The matter was referred to the McCullom Lake Police department because the in­ cidents occurred in that village. LONG STRUGGLE AGAINST CANCER ENDS IN DEATH (Continued from page 1) Pistakee Highlands died Tuesday, July 24, at Children's Memorial hospital, Chicago, a victim of cancer. Two years ago Tony was an active youngster whose chief interest was after-school football. However, in a matter of weeks his parents learned that his football-playing days were numbered. His illness was diagnosed as cancer of the lymph glands, a fatal disease affecting the body's disease- fighting system. He was admitted to Children's Memorial hospital late in 1971 for tests and special radiation treatment aimed at giving him more time with his sixth grade classmates and his family. Learning of his condition, the public took the red-haired, freckle-faced boy to their hearts and sent letters to cheer him. After a courageous struggle for life extending almost two years, he died this week. Tony, who lived with his family at 811 Broadway, Pistakee Highlands, was born April 18, 1959, in Chicago. He had lived in this community for eleven years and was a seventh grade student at St. John's school. Survivors are his mother, Mrs. Rosella Whitaker, nee Zdeb; his father, Charles Schifferdecker, of Belvidere; his step-father, Wm. H. Whitaker of McHenry; three brothers, Kenneth Spicer of Fox Lake Hills, Gary Spicer and Patrick Schifferdecker, both at home; also aunts and uncles. There will be visitation at the Hamsher funeral home, Fox Lake, from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday. Services will be conducted at the chapel at 10:30 Saturday, with burial in Grant cemetery. CONDUCT CHARGE FILED AGAINST WHEELING MAN (Continued from pagel) auto had become stuck in a nearby lot and his female juvenile companion remained with the auto. When deputies attempted to take Bakos to the squad car, he turned and struck at the deputy. McHenry police arrived at the scene to assist and subdued him. However, COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAM WILL BE INAUGURATED SOON (Continuedfrom page 1) LYNN REW, R.N. "We're not forgetting the inactive R.N.'s either. Professional courses are inaccessible to most of them. Yet they retain their professional responsibility in crises. We hope they will be interested in updating their knowledge and skills." The program will utilize the teaching facilities and equipment which the State already has provided the Trauma center at McHenry hospital. One 6f the original objectives of the Trauma center system in Illinois was when another deputy arrived to take Bakos in, he began fighting again and struck the other deputy. He was finally subdued and taken to county jail. His female juvenile companion was located in the area and taken into custody for juvenile authorities. "to establish educational programs for the professional medical personnel within the community." Among the resource faculty members will be Mrs. Molla Haugen, head nurse of the Emergency unit of McHenry hospital, who has completed an intensive four-week, 160-hour course at the State of Illinois Regional Trauma center in Evanston. Regarding the course for lay people, Mrs. Rew commented, "We will try to inform lay persons on what measures they should not take, as well as on what measures they should take. Parents, teachers, babysitters, Scout leaders, and members of sports clubs are in a position to help in emergencies. We hope they will be interested in learning how and when to help." The course for families of cardiac patients will include instruction on recognition of the onset of critical cardio­ vascular conditions, diet, and cardio-pulmonary resus­ citation. During the course, family members will be in­ structed in the use of Airways and will be given an Airway for emergency use. The first class for nurses will begin in September, continuing for ten weeks; the classes for lay persons will begin in Oc­ tober and will also continue for ten weeks. A second series of classes will begin early in 1974. "The students themselves will help to evaluate the course in the months following their training," Mrs. Rew concluded. "And of course, we will welcome their comments, questions and suggestions." Registration times will be announced next month, ac­ cording to Mrs. Rew, and classes will be filled as registrations come in. Beware of the jolly back- slapper.

When the refunds weren't forthcoming, the crowd became unruly and a tojr. persons attempted to go into the beer tent to help them­ selves. When deputies on the scene attempted to restrain the crowd, about ten youths resisted efforts and a fight broke out as deputies tried to arrest two youths.
