ti Marcie Ungs looks over a college catalog with George Cowgill, McHenry County college counselor. January Is Red Letter Day For Huntley Girl January, 1974, has been a red-letter month for Marcie Ungs. During the month, the 17- year-old Huntley girl graduated from high school and began her college career as a sophomore. Ms. Ungs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ungs, Huntley, spent three and one- half years at Huntley high school and managed to ac­ cumulate enough credits to graduate. She then applied for die College Level Examination program (CLEP) tests at McHenry County college and earned thirty hours of college credit - enough to classify her as a sophomore. Rather than taking a vacation between graduation from high school and beginning college on a full-time basis, Marcie is taking classes part- time at MCC during the spring semester, and plans to seek part-time employment. She will attend Illinois State university in the fall. Mrs. Alma Jollie Marcie's math teacher for the past 3V*> years at Huntley high school, describes Marcie as an "ex­ cellent student", mature, polite, personable and con­ scientious. Mrs. Jollie adds that while Marcie will be missed at the high school, everyone wishes her well. Marcie was active in the Girl's Athletic association, cheerleading, chorus and color guard at the high school. George Cowgill, counselor at MCC, agrees that Marcie's progress in college is a Tbit unusual. "However," he added, "many more students are using the CLEP examinations to speed up the progress toward a degree." Yes, Marcie will remember January, 1974 as a time of transition - a time when she took a giant step that most students take a year to com­ plete. NEW SERVICE PROJECT (Continued from page 1) velopes, may occasionally be requested, she continued. The program will be open to not only auxiliary members, but also non-members, men and women. As official representative of the clinic, Miss Kievman will function as the liaison with the auxiliary. Shfe will conduct the one-evening training sessions. Formerly with the Institute for Human Resources, Pontiac, 111., Miss Kievman has previously formed FISH organizations and will be using the FISH manual. However, responding to a question from one of the auxiliary members, Cools said, "The project will not duplicate FISH (efforts). One of the jobs is to avoid duplication of aOfiees." After explaining the proposed time slots, Mrs. Powers passed a schedule which more than 90 perdent of the auxiliary members present marked with their desired time. Recruit­ ment for Project *74 will also be done at membership coffees planned for the near future. For further information and to volunteer services call Mrs. Jerome Eugene Powers or Mrs. John L. Beima. DRIVER ESCAPES INJURY AS TRAIN DEMOLISHES AUTO (Continued from page 1) stop intersection after she collided with another vehicle driven by Delbert Skoggs of 4526 E.

Each holiday season brought messages from all farts of the country - men and women who for a time found their home- away-from-home in the com­ fortable atmosphere of her residence on John street. But these will never be our favorite memories of a treasured friendship - one unaffected by age. We will best remember gathering around her old organ to sing - or long talks on long rides in the country. A quiet little lady is gone. But she has left many gifts for her devoted family and friends in" the remembrance of a life lived in graciousness and dignity. Such lives are not soon forgotten. K.A.F.

Advice To Parents On Building Self-Reliance Try to set standards and goals for children that are attainable so that children have a good chance for success. (Examples: beginning with very young children and working up: bringing in the newspaper each day, wiping the kitchen table, sorting laundry, weeding, answering the phone, making beds,.fixing simple sandwiches, making jello, and baking cookies and cakes from mixes.)

Unlike the explorations of Columbus,our courageous astronauts knew where they were going, knew how to get there, knew what to do when they got there - and knew how to get home. Their marvelous lunar landing and unforgettable return to earth proved that God has endowed man with remarkable intelligence. He has endowed man with the means, minds and mach­ ines - discipline and dedication to do great things; to establish stimulating goals and reach them in rig­ orous manner. It seems obvious questions should now be asked. What does God expect us to do; what does He antic­ ipate we will do? Has the time come for us to check our conquest of space and devote equal time, the same endless effort, and the same extravagant billions to establish new bonds of brotherhood, new concepts of human concern? Since man has the intelligence to face and solve problems in step by step procedure, should we not now determine how to make the deserts fertile, cult­ ivate the oceans to provide plentiful food to insure that no man ever starves? What are your views; what do you think? GEORGE R», JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME 3519 W. Elm Street, McHenry, Illinois Phone 385-2400 generous with praise, specific praise. Give recognition for a job well done and effort put forth, not general praise, like "you're wonderful" but specific, tempered comments like "you dusted your room thoroughly" or "that was a beautiful table setting." Let children make as many of their own decisions as possible so that they can learn to live with them and evaluate their own choices. Decisions will range from what clothes t6 wear to school to when to watch TV. They need some basic ground rules usually on the practical problems of clothes care," home duties, TV schedules, etc. r Even in the early grades, two children will achieve the goal of well-done homework in dif­ ferent ways: one may need to do it as soon as he gets home from school; another youngster may want to wait until after supper. But if a parent says, "All homework done by 7:30," the important point is that it is done by that time. Encourage children to learn responsibility (that will carry over to school tasks) by beinfc counted on to do certain home PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER Break a big job (such as making breakfast) into manageable steps. You don't send an inexperienced child to "clean up his room." You send him to do specific parts of the big job: to straighten his desk, to make his bed (after you've shown him how to) to vacuum the floor, etc. Thus, the child is enabled to do the work but not be overwhelmed and defeated by it. Allow children, and call upon them, to express their opinions. Hear what they have to say and listen without having them fear your disapproval. Often a conversation at the family dinner table, giving the child an opportunity to express ideas on several subjects, helps shape a child's view of himself. Children who've been seen and not heard during the earliest years will need extra en­ couragement to break their learned patterns of reticence and passivity. Sit down together with the children and talk: How can we make this year better? Focus on the child's strengths rather than on weaknesses or what not to do. Use strengths to over­ come weaknesses. The child who is a great gardener but a poor speller can use gardening books for spelling help. The child in love with trucks or airplanes but bored by the usual reading can read books on trucks or airplanes. Try to hold a realistic and individual vision of your child - FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 1,1974 and his capabilities. Adults don't expect themselves to have outstanding ability in all , areas, so too with children. Parents, intolerant of their child's weaknesses, are somehow able to tolerate their own - and this needs to be understood. Recognize that, like all people, the child will pass through periods in which he achieves more, periods in which he does less. Guard against jumping in too quickly to label this child who may be in a "slow" period as an "under- achiever," etc. The child who is labeled gets caught in a cycle of failure. Parents and teachers expect less - the child tries less. Try to provide different activities for the differing abilities and interests of the children. Individual attention for a child in a large family may mean taking him off alone, while special attention for an only child can mean setting up a day with other children. A particularized outing builds a special intimacy between parent and child, especially for the child who's always had to share his parents with others. And it needn't cost money - it just has to be special. . Petroleum search widens in Black Africa. Soviet testing propane gaS for vehicles. hanging up their own clothes, keeping track of their art supplies, putting away dishes from dishwasher, set­ ting and clearing the table, making their own beds, etc. Give children many and different opportunities to take leadership roles at home: the child who balks at doing the ordinary chores, such as dishes, will brighten up when he's allowed to combine these with extraordinary tasks such as getting breakfast for the family.
