PAGE 1C - PLAINDEALER-WEDNE8DAY, APRIL 14. 1976 TWO SERIOUSLY INJURED IN ROUTE 120 ACCIDENT (Continued from Pige 1) signals in operation. No one was injured and no tickets were issued in a rear- end accident which occurred at 3002 W. Route 120, McHenry, Saturday night about 9:45. Barbara S. Haffner of 4220 Ponca, McHenry, was east- bound on the highway when she stopped for an auto which had pulled out in front of her. Brian K. Massheimer of 415 Riverside drive, McHenry, who was traveling behind the Haffner car, saw her stop, applied his brakes but slid on the wet pavement and hit the rear of her car. A pickup truck driven by David W. Meyers of, 3019 W. Miller drive, McHenry, was north-bound on Barreville road, just south of State Park road, Saturday evening when the front wheel ran off the road­ way. The shoulder of the road was muddy and in attempting to regain the road, Meyers turned the steering wheel whi<;h caused him to lose control. It swerved across the road into a ditch. A ticket for failure to give information after striking unattended vehicle was issued to Scott D. Chesler of 5010 E Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, by county police. Chesler told county police he was east-bound on Thompson road, at Dorr road, when he thought the car had a flat tire. He was lighting a cigarette at the time, lost control of his car and sideswiped a parked auto owned by Susan I. Konczyk of 8807 Dorr road, Wonder Lake The auto was parked off the roadway out of any traffice lane. He left the scene without notifying Ms. Konczyk of the incident and was ticketed later. MP AD I Olin years and could continue to LUUU ^serve the area as a walking, PROTEST IN BRIDGE biking pathway, and a river parkway." Olszewski said the committee hopes to pattern renovation along the same lines as the "Flower Bridge," an historic landmark in Shelburne Falls, Ma "Bicycle paths and walkways would wind among sections of greenery, where citizens could watch river traffic as they rest on rustic benches," Olszewski said, "and flowers, trees and vines would soften the stark lines of the trusses, adding to the historic look." The area is already one of the focal points for the Marine Festival, annual city celebration held each summer. The committee also pointed out two other important aspects; the federal govern­ ment is planning to construct a bridge and road system 2 miles north of McHenry (Richmond- Waukegan Freeway 420), which will connect Routes 12 DESTRUCTION (Continued from Page 1) west portion of McHenry until the Rt 120 bridge was built in 1927 and has been in continuous use since 1880 According to Mrs. Fike, also a member of the McHenry County Historical society, "The location has always been historically important. The site of McHenry county's first county seat, now called the Town plub, was located just northwest of th# old bridge, on Riverside drive and Pearl street.* "River traffic, commercial trade, and eventually recreational trade," she said, "hinged upon the Fox river and access to it, which the old bridge provided Our old bridge has subtly and directly affected the lives and fortunes of McHenry people for nearly 100 Spring Is At Southgate Beauty Salon HAIR DESIGNERS Trained to give you professional hair care.

Two additional lanes could be added at this time, the committee believes. Auto traffic, which presently crosses the one-lane old bridge on a first-come courtesy basis, would then be diverted to the expanded Rt. 120 bridge The old bridge could be used for one-way, west-bound traffic while this construction is under way, committee members said, with the half of the Rt. 120 bridge not under construction used for east-bound traffic. Another logical new bridge location, instead of two only one block apart, the committee suggested, is south of McHenry at Idyl Dell road. The recent connection of Bull Valley and Idyl Dell roads could be ex­ tended across the river to the east, serving an increasing population between Routes 120 and 176, a distance of over six miles without a bridge. Cost of repairing the old bridge, using it for autos until a new bridge is constructed elsewhere or the Rt. 120 bridge is converted to four lanes, was estimated at $110,000, while tearing down the Pearl street span and constucting a new one at the same site was estimated at $905,000. Intangible costs of the new bridge were listed by the com­ mittee as: loss of an historic site; loss of potential recreation value in an area of high population and easy access; increased congestion on Pearl street; and increased river congestion and pollution from large boats. The Pearl street bridge presently prevents larger boats from crossing under the span. These boats, it was pointed out, could encounter difficulties navigating the river beyond this point at any rate, because in many areas north a swim­ mer can walk across it, except for a few yards in the center. The committee also noted that large boat owners who do have access to the north river area cause considerable damage to property and boats along the shores, which are pounded by heavy wakes from the crafts. The only benefits of the new bridge, the committee added, were additional insurance for emergency river crossing and reduced congestion on the Rt. 120 bridge, both solved by an extra two-lane addition there. Further plans for the com­ mittee include contacting the McHenry Bicentennial com­ mittee, local organizations, businesses and schools to gain their support and investigation of federal and state funds allowed for historic projects. The McHenry Histjrical society has already gone on record in favor of the project, the committee reported. Citizens and organizations not contacted by "the McHenry Historic Bridge committee, but who wish to help in the project, may contact: Chairman Ronald Olszewski, 385-5543; petition chairman Mrs. Steven (Nancy) Fike, William and Alice Howenstine, and Dorothy White,' • • * * The secret of the suc­ cessful home garden is not to plant more than your wife or children can cultivate. MAN BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS BY HITCHHIKERS (Continued from Page 1) driving home on Wilmot road, saw two persons hitchhiking and stopped to offer them a ride. They told Partlow they were going to the Sunnyside area. As they were traveling on Spring Grove road, one of the offenders asked him to stop. Suddenly the person in the back seat grabbed him by the throat and the other one in the front seat began striking Partlow in the head with his fists until he lost consciousness. When he regain consciousness, Partlow drove to the McHenry Police department and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Identity of the two offenders is unknown. FOX LAKE TAVERN OWNER SHOT TO DEATH SUNDAY (Continued from Page 1) police were called to the scene. Hattrem was taken to St. Therese hospital, Waukegan, by the Fox Lake Rescue squad, where he was treated for cuts about the face and head. After treatment, he was taken to Lake County jail, where he is being held on the murder charge. Stolen Auto Destroyed By Fire After Crash A car owned by David Wagner of 3609 W. James street, McHenry, was destroyed by fire last Wed­ nesday night on Harts road, one-half mile east of Pioneer road, east of Ringwood. Wagner had reported the car stolen. Deputies found the vehicle on Harts road about 9:30 Wednesday night. Evidence indicated the vehicle had been east-bound on Harts, went out of control and struck a small group of trees on the south side of the road. Driver of the vehicle is unknown. Deputies feel it is doubtful that the crash caused the resulting fire. Investigation is continuing.

Older persons who earn more than $2,760 this year will have benefits reduced $1 for every $2 they earn above the earning lim­ itation. Social security ben­ efits are not reduced for any month in which beneficiaries do not earn more than $230 in wages, an adjustment from $210 a month. The amount of earnings upon which working persons pay social security taxes has also been in­ creased this year, from a taxable base of $14,100 a year to $15,300. The social security tax rate, now at 5.85 per cent of taxable earnings for both employees and employers and at 7.9 per cent of taxable earnings for self-em­ ployed persons, remains un­ changed. The maximum social security tax a wage earner will pay this year will be $895.05. TWO MINUTES um m bible. •v coRNiuut a. STAM mat.

Traditionally, of course, it is sup­ posed to have taken place on Friday, but this writer has never been able to get very excited about such de­ tails. What matters is that Christ, the Creator, God in flesh, died in shame and disgrace and agony for sins He had never committed-for your sins and mine. But have you ever considered that" this in itself is not necessarily good news? Many an innocent person has died in the place of some guilty criminal who has gone free through some miscarriage of justice. We didn't see anything good about this. When St. Peter addressed his kins­ men he blamed them for the cruci­ fixion of Christ, saying: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you...as ye yourselves also know...ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain" (Acts 2:22,23), and later he faced the Supreme Court of his nation and charged them with his death (Acts 4:5-11). What then, was "good" about the death of Christ? Well, we come to this when we reach the Epistles of Paul in our Bibles. There the chief of sinners, saved by grace (I Tim. 1:15), exclaims: "He gave Himself for me" (Gal. 2:20). He says: "God hath made Him to be sin for i/s...that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (II Cor. 5:21 ). He does not blame us for Christ's death- ^though our sins helped to nail Him to that cross-but proclaims the glad news that, "We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of jnsS&e*i£ding to the riches of His grace" (EfX. 1:7). And why did He do this for us\ "That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness tmvard us through Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:7). So, for us who have trusted Christ as our Savior, the death of Christ at Calvary is indeed good news. We rejoice in it, sing about it, preach about it, and all it has accomplished for a lost humanity. Little wonder Paul declared: "God forbid that' I should boast," except in one -thing: "the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Gal. 6:14). Then marble soften'd into life grew warm. And yielding, soft metal flowed to human form. -Pope. GENE'S PLASTERCRAFT 3 t Unpainted Figurines,4 ^ Lamps and Wall Plaques * Painting Classes Mon.-Wed. 7-9 P.M. • Childrens Classes Sat. 12-3 P.M.

The Illinois Department on Aging has established "Aging, Box 60, Springfield, II., 62705" to help put people in touch with problem solutions and resources they need. "Solutions, many times, are available," said Kenneth W. Holland, director of the department. "But, if you don't know where to turn for help, that solution may as well not exist." Holland said that although the department has established a state-wide information and referral system through Area Agencies on Aging and Nutrition Projects, many older people are still unaware of services that are available. "The Aging, Box 60 program makes help as near as your mailbox," he emphasized. Holland said response to the program has been good. Questions „ that have been received by the department include information regarding: Someone to live-in and help share expenses of a home Home-maker services to enable persons to remain in their own home Assistance in filing for the tax relief program for senior citizens and disabled persons The location of Ashing and camping areas Transportation to medical and social services State and federal benefits that are available to senior citizens Nutrition programs and meals-on-wheels "Older people want to stand on their own - but, many times, they need a helping hand. That's what we are all about at the Department," concluded Holland. Write Aging, Box 60, Springfield, n., 62705. - I
