Hunt swerved to the shoulder of the road but was unable to avoid a collision. Gran stated his car drifted wide on the curve He attempted to brake but could not do so in time to avoid impact. Sibyl E. Sears of 319 Meadow lane, Woodstock, was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad after she was . injured in a two-car accident Thursday morning at the intersection of Route 120 and Draper-Ringwood road, west of McHenry. Driver of the other car, Robert L. Diedrich of 1810 County Highway P, Twin Lakes, Wis., was east-bound on the highway with the Sears auto directly in front of him. Suddenly he noticed brake lights and turn signals appear on the car. He applied his brakes but was unable to avoid striking the rear of the auto. No statement was taken from Ms. Sears due to her condition. COLLEGE EXPRESSES HOPE FOR CITY COOPERATION (Continued from page 1) election were Leahy, 2,287; Smith, 2,403; David R.

MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) He said studies have continued since 1959 and by now we know most of the problems. His suggestion is for some positive action to be taken, and it is for this reason that he has included the two Congressmen in a discussion of just how to proceed. Dean promises the meeting within the very near future, probably "in a couple of weeks". This will be good news for many in our area, particularly those most affected by flooding conditions. We can't stop with the first battle won. The really important part of the war is yet to come! K.A.F.

Ambulance squads, police and fire departments, rescue squads, hospital personnel and Civil Defense volunteers had cooperated in a life-saving simulation. Memorial Hospital for McHenry County instituted its disaster plan about 12:20 p.m. Sunday following a telephone report concerning a tornado with upwards of sixty casualties at Greenwood school. Evaluating the hospital's response two and one-half hours later, Bert Hanson, administrator, said he believes response at the hospital generally was satisfactory and the response by personnel when called to the hospital for emergency * duty was "terrific". Memorial hospital had a total of fifteen persons in various degrees of injury. Dr. Amito Sircar is the hospital's disaster chairman and he quarter- backed the hospital's re­ sponse to this emergency situation as tornado victims were brought into the emergency entrance. Near the end of Sunday's drill, Hanson said one problem cropped up when the radio communications failed, but this was remedied by moving one of the backup transmitter and receiver units in a car near the emergency room door. Another problem came earlier when the blood supply became low and a call went to the Aurora Blood bank. Hanson said blood arrived in 45 minutes to help fulfill needs. Midway in the drill, McHenry Hospital called Memorial Hospital on the special hot line- a private emergency line between the hospitals in the county--to see if Memorial hospital could handle added FORMAL WEAR RENTAL ALL OCCASIONS surgical patients. Hanson checked with surgery and learned the cases they had would involve the operating rooms for another 90 minutes, the same backup that McHenry hospital was experiencing. It was decided to transport me patient by helicopter to Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago, and to hold the others for subsequent surgery since the injuries were such that the patients could wait. Otherwise, those who should not wait the 90 minutes could be transferred to Sherman hospital, Elgin. The total "Operation Co-Op" will be the subject of a panel critique to be presented Saturday at McHenry high school's West campus as part of an all-day "Study Seminar on Trauma". Dr. Clarence R.' Hart, director of the Trauma center at McHenry hospital and the county's Emergency Medical Services, commented, "This drill was primarily a training experience, and secondarily a performing experience. Reviews of inter-agency cooperation are going on all week prior to an official critique. However, let me say that individually, the rescue squads in this area - from whatever agencies performed extremely well." LIQUOR CHARGES FILED AGAINST AREA RESIDENTS (Continued from page 1) Johnsburg road, was given notice to appear in court for the same offense. All are to appear in court May 9. In the possession of another passenger, Ralph Berent, Jr., of 1400 Fairview lane, McHenry, was found a quantity of cannabis resulting in his arrest for that offense. He was also charged with four counts of sales of alcoholic liquor to minors. t&Ufll ....tit fttubMu* 1214 N. Green St., McHenry THE CHOICE IS YOURS. . .

PUBLIQ^ULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only request is that the writers give - signature, lull ad­ dress and phone number. We ask too, that one in­ dividual not write on the same subject more than once each month.

FOX RIVEK STUDY "Editor: "The interest of Congressman John Anderson in the Fox river basin as demonstrated by his gaining the approval of a $1,460,000 flood control study to be conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is appreciated. However, we wonder if it would be possible for consideration to be given to scaling down the study and actually doing some work? "What I had in mind was « perhaps a study by one or two persons, costing no more than $100,000 over a period of two years, with the remaining $1,360,000 being used to immediately begin dredging the Fox river, so as to again create a channel for the Fox river through the Chain of Lakes and on down the river as far as the $1,360,000 would take it. "1 am not a professional environmentalist, ecologist, civil engineer or whatever; but past studies concerning rehabilitation of streams and lakes, particularly those blocked by dams, have included a recommendation of regular dredging. Why such dredging was discontinued on the Fox river, I do not know. It would appear a considerable amount of dredging could be done for $1,360,000 "I hope the congressman can appreciate my apprehension of realizing any benefits to the Fox River valley from a $1,460,000 study. For instance, it might benefit us at least as much, or possibly less, than the recent rapid transit study at a West Virginia university. According to recent news releases, even though the study included construction of a facility, it now appears that the taxpayer is going to suffer further expense in the cost of using dynamite to remove the facility which was installed. "In summary, let's get on, wltn the Action, which is obviously needed, and scale down the study to something that might produce useful results. "Jon Carl Gealow "2903 N. Bayview Lane "McHenry" MAJORITY RULE? "Editor: "While" sipping my morning coffee, looking out the kitchen window where I live on a channel here in McHenry, I see various birds from kingfishers to red tail hawks, swimming are both mallards and hell- divers, muskrats and even a mink or two running on my sea­ wall, and thoughts come to mind that now we who live in the farm and country areas are being bombarded to have a RTA> even though we voted so much against it! If I don't live in THEIR little town or suburb, I don't have the right to tell them what THEY should do, any more than those who don't live in OUR vicinity have the right to tell us, what we, in McHenry need or should do. "Doesn't the majority rule any more? Don't the people have anything more to say? Illinois voted against the younger age in voting - we were told it was unconstitutional; Illinois voted against the younger age in drinking-we were told that was unconstitutional; Illinois voted that we wanted to continue the death penality--that was unconstitutional. Now we don't want the RTA and again, we cannot have what we feel is right. If all these votes are unconstitutional, then why are they put on the ballot for us to voice our feelings? "We want to know where the big monies go for campaigning for the Congressmen, Senators, state Legislators, etc., but no, they vetoed that. I could add so much more, but almost have the thought, 'for what'. The only way I can express my feeling is by just jotting these thpughts. Vote? You bet I do, and I haven't missed any elections, even going to the primary, and that's another subject I'd like to have explained. Why should I have to declare what party I want. I want to be able at a primary, like in the big election, to vote for the man and not a party. There are good and not so good in both cases. "I don't suppose the above remarks will do any good, just that this is how I - one person - feels. Thanks anyway!

Joseph B.Stanek Mayor Attest: Earl R. Walsh Citv Clerk Voting Aye: Bolger, Datz, Harker, Howard, Hromec, Pepping, Wegener Voting Nay : None Absent: Rogers (Pub. April 24,1974) The Occult, New Film, Will Be Shown Locally The Occult, a new 16mm, sound, motion picture, will be shown at the First United Methodist church, Saturday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. Hal Lindsey, author of two best sellers ("Late Great Planet Earth" and "The Devil is Alive and Well on Planet Earth") guides viewers to the bizarre world of the occult declaring it to be not just a passing fad ti(uf> vital part of the continuing struggle of Satan to usurp the throne of our eternal God. Lindsey declares that in witchcraft, astrology, ouija boards and other forms of the occult, people do experience supernatural phenomenon and that from the ruins of Babylon to Main street, USA, people are being drawn by mystical voices that call from darkness. The purpose of the film is to stir up sentiment against the practice of witchcraft and to expose Satanic power that is its root. The film concludes with a personal explanation of the powers of evil applied to the weakness of man. A young person tells of involvement in ceremonies of witchcraft, demon possession and human sacrifice without feelings of murder or sense of wrong. Written by Marshall Riggan and produced by the E v a n g e l i c a l C h r i s t i a n Research foundation, The Occult is being released for showings across North America by Gospel Films, Inc.
