(Continued from I*ge 1) Many Injured In Weekend Crashes back of a car at 106 W. Dowell road, east of Lakemoor early Sunday morning. John E. Cook, II of - 657 Marine road, Wauconda, said because of a hill, he failed to see the car driven by Robert E. Packard of 2106 Highwood road, McHenry, which was making a left turn into a driveway. As he came up on the vehicle, he attempted to avoid hitting the rear of the auto but was unable to do so. A ticket for driving on a sidewalk was issued to Victor Sarabia of 5113 Fountain lane, McHenry, following an ac­ cident which completely pulled the camper top off of his pickup truck. Saturday .morning about 6 a.m., Sarabia was west-bound on Route 120 at River road when he had to make a turn to avoid a car north-bound on River road. Sarabia drove on to the sidewalk and hit a light pole which completely removed the camper from his truck.

Richmond Village hall, 10308 Main street, Richmond, for the purpose of considering the request of Robert C. and Karen L. Heaney for a conditional use permit.

Those desiring to be heard on the matter should be present at the Feb. 18 hearing. Getting Caught Most ironic crimes these days are getting caught at what everybody else is getting away with. It's like keeping a bank bal­ ance--or, walking a tight­ rope. Cigarette smoking isn't only dangerous to your health --it also destroys, your pocket- book. so it was with pleasure that Friday, the thirteenth, brought in the mail an envelope addressed to K.A.F. The only enclosure was a copy of last Wednesday's column con­ taining our dissertation on sugar with the optimistic outlook that a record crop production in 1975 and lowering prices would allow us a field day with gooey concoctions for the remainder of this year. We concluded that this good news would take care of one more of life's little problems ""until we step on the scales some morning to face the price we humans pay for our culinary folly". v On the enclosed copy, in ink, two words were added ...and caries (tooth cavities). The return address indicates that this wise postscript was the warning of --you guessed it, a dentist. Dr. Sturm, you have made your point, and very well! Editors -even those beyond youthful age- enjoy being remembered on Valentine's day. And so we were! Almost every holiday is brightened by the arrival on our desk of a special greeting through a picture post card of another day's vintage. The hand writing is the same, and also the misleading signature. We feel that were we to follow our suspicion, it might lead us to the doorstep of the sender, but this we have been reluctant to do. . The pleasant mysteries of life are too few to be halted by an aggressive tracking down on our part. We will continue to enjoy them in their anonymity. K.A.F. Father Of School Head Dies Monday Walter J. Boos, father of Dr. Robert Boos, superintendent of McHenry elementary schools, died Feb. 16 at Rockford Memorial hospital.

Knowledge Of Bangladesh Doctor Amazes Travelers PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Ig, IV* (by Father William O. Hanner, Rector Emeritus of Holy Comforter, Episcopal, Kentfaorth) It is no news to a good many people that there is a shortage of doctors in the United States. This is due to a number of reasons: a medical education is tremendously costly, it takes years to complete so that a man is well along in life before he can begin to earn. For some it is just too much work - there are easier ways to make a living. Yet we need doctors. What shall we do? If you look about you, you will find we are recruiting some of our medical men from overseas. It makes it hard on those overseas who had counted on their native sons returning to minister in their native lands but it makes it easier on the United States and gives a good practice to the young doctor in question. One of these young doctors, Dr. M.S. Uddin, lives in our building. He was brought to this country by recruitment from overseas and has been assigned the United States Air Force, where he is hard at work. The doctor is a pleasant little man and comes from Bangladesh, which was formerly part of Pakistan and was established as an independent nation after MONTGOMERY I'i'AKHtJ Sale of the Centuries I Ends Saturday, Feb. 21st Fantastic carpet savings. r,:-.

It lies at the delta of the Ganges river. The doctor speaks English excellently, much better than you and I speak Bengali, his native tongue He is to be made a naturalized citizen Inasmuch as he lives next door to me he came in to see if 1 would coach^ him a bit in U.S. History and government. His knowledge amazed me. Not only did he recount the history of India from the days of Buddha and Akbar on down through Lord Give and Warren Hastings, he knew the history of the Orient, China, Japan, Siam, the Philippines and he knew our own history very, very well and was acquainted with the heroes of South American liberation, San Martin and Simon Bolivar. He was terribly impressed with the westward expansion of the United States. The knowledge the doctor had about the Constitution of the United States would far surpass the knowledge of a good many so called "100 percent" Americans. Rose and I went to the proceedings at the local district court to lend him en­ couragement and aid. He had two character witnesses and needed no more so we were mere observers. After his preliminary hearing he must wait several weeks and then be sworn as a citizen after this period of probation. All along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida lie off shore islands. Padre Island off the1 Texas coast is miles and miles long, maybe a couple of hun­ dred. Parts of it are open to tourists and recreation. Other parts are closed to visitors and left for birds and wild life refuges There are many islands in and about the delta of the Mississippi river In this area the river has built up its bottom by silt Levees hold the river in its course When you drive the road along its side, ships sail past you higher up than you are It is a queer experience The Gulf Islands off the Mississippi coast are a national perk About a mile from where we are living there is a park along the shore where one can camp or leave his trailer set up as a permanent stopping place at a daily rental In the summer you can drive into Biloxi and take a boat out to a number of these offshore islands Take Ship Island for example For years it was one island. In the huge hurricane of Camille in 1909, Ship Island was cut completely in two. It is all still called by its name Ship Island At the eastern end is old Fort Massachusetts used during the Civil War. At the western end. now detached from the eastern end, there is a primitive camp site. By primitive they mean exactly what they say - precious few comforts of modern life and it is twelve miles out in the Gulf. This island was used by French sea captains before the 1700's. It was used by confederate and Union troops. Remnants of the old fortifications are still there. Horn Island nearby has a ranger station on it and is undeveloped in any way for here are osprey breeding grounds, three of them on the one island. Nearby Petit Bots island is also undeveloped. The local fauna that live here develop a coloration close to that of the sand and thus are rendered leas visible. Nature protects her own from mice to alligators. Swimming from any of these islands is discouraged for there are treacherous currents and deceptive un­ dertows and often heavy surf. Inside many of these islands - that is. between them and the true coast, runs the Inter coastal Waterway. Along it during the war. our gasoline for Eglin field and other local air baaes was shipped Commercial trips sre offered to these islands during the summer. Now you cannot reach them except in a boat of one's own Bears along the coasts of Alaska and British Columbia are known as "brawns." and those inland as "grizzlies" Brown bears often grow much larger, Male grizzlies reach MO pounds in some mountain areas, but grow to twice that star when living on the coast Some of them tower 10-feet In height The favorite food is salmon, and it is tswommon for brown bears to fight C O U R 1 H O U S I S Q U A R E S CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME -- AND OFTEN ENDS THERE. p'«ce to shop- he ijueUer *ftth I>ch«nVt Shou).
