We watched a machine turn them over and saw how they cleaned them and fired them in the kiln. We also saw a machine that pressed the clay into bowls and ash trays. We were lucky and got to see a man at the potter's wheel. Then we took our lunches and ate at Veterans Acres Park. Aug 29, the Wonder Workers camped out at Harrison Benwell Conservation Area.

POTATOES ARE CHEAPER When I cut up those seed potatoes last spring and plopped 'em in the freshly roto- tilled ground, I figured I had a gold mine in the back yard - what with 5 lbs. of spuds selling for $1.69 in the supermarket. Well, Saturday I dug my crop and today's paper advertises 50 lbs. of white potatoes for $1.99. Considering 20 cents a lb. for seed potatoes, plus fertilizer, plus sprays, plus uncountable hours of work, the only gold mine I end up with is good taste and that inner pride known only by gardeners - with the help of God and His good earth, I producced this. NATAL DAYS Lots of happy birthday wishes this week...to Mary Ruggero on Sept. 11 ... to Art Weber on Sept. 17...to Roger Stilling on Sept. 15...to Larry Goulet on Sept. 15...to Kevin Huff, son of the Don Huff's on Sept. 16...to Jack Weber on Sept. 17.

Y- Indian Princess is for girls in grades 1, 2 and 3 and their fathers. They are designed to create a closer relationship between father and child. American Indian culture is used as the structure for the program, and it captures the imagination of every child To learn about Y-Indian Guide or Princess tribes, each father and child should attend a Pow Wow at one of the schools listed on the day which is most convenient from 7:15-8 p.m. Dads currently in the program will be present to explain the program, to answer questions, to organize new tribes, and to recruit new members. Those who would like to join a tribe but are unable to be present at one of the meetings, should call the Lake Region YMCA at the Young Men's Christian association, Lake Region, immediately. A Pow Wow will be held in McHenry in East campus high school, Rooms 14 and 16, Sept. 16, 17, 18 and 19. Father and child are organized into "tribes" according to ther age of the child. There are a minimum of six families and a maximum of ten families per tribe. Each tribe chooses its own tribal name and each individual chooses his own Indian name. Tribal meetings are held in the teepees of the members twice a month on a rotating basis. The tribe selects its own meeting night and time, usually 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. Crafts, songs, games, Indian stories, dances, etc., make up the content of most of the meetings. The offices are distributed among each father and child. They are Chief, Wampum Bearer, Tallykeeper, Assistant Chief (Medicine Man), Indian Runner and Tom-Tom Beater. They share in planning and conducting the meeting programs. The Longhouse is composed of all the tribes in the Lake Region area. Each tribe is represented by its Chief or his representative at Longhouse meetings. The Longhouse coordinates the individual tribal activities and plans special events. Each father and child must have an annual limited membership in the Lake Region YMCA, which helps support the program at the local level. They are renewed each year. If an activity membership is held, there is no additional dues. The purpose of these programs is to foster the companionship and closer relationship between father and child. This unique purpose has a strong appeal to the busy, but concerned, dad. Police Action (Information supplied by Illinois State Police) One of the most aggravating situations that a motorist can find himself in is to be miles from home and have something go wrong with the car. Those of us who have experienced this problem know all too well that lonely helpless feeling when the motor overheats or stops entirely. With an ever increasing national crime rate, people are becoming increasingly wary of stopping to help stranded motorists. Unless you happen to break down near a service station or have access to a telephone, you may have to wait or set out on foot for aid. Since its formation over 50 years ago, the Illinois State Police has dedicated itself to service to the public. Law enforcement and accident investigation are not the only responsibilities of Illinois state troopers. High on the priority list of responsibilities for Troopers is providing assistance to motorists who have mechanical difficulties with their vehicle or simply are in need of information.

Vogel Memorial Leukemia Fund Dance, Christ the King Hall section has been tabulating the types of assistance rendered since January and report that troopers have documented thousands of incidents which include flat tires, running out of gas, lights, cooling systems, fires, engine failure and other problems. Because of the limited number of troopers available and the demands placed upon them for service of all types, care must be exercised in assigning them to patrol the areas where the need is the greatest. Since January, 1974, troopers providing motorists with assistance have documented the assistance rendered with a Motorist Assist report. The trooper providing assistance must ask for the motorist's drivers license to complete this document. This report provides the State Police with data that is used to analyze manpower allocation. Such information is necessary to enable the State Police to provide improved service by assigning troopers to areas that have the highest number of incidents of called for service. (To call the State Police in DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties, the telephone number is 312-742- 3553. In an emergency call collect.)
