Authorities are probing to learn whether teeth marks might link Macek to the killing Macek at this time is under indictment on three charges of murder. There has been interest in the state's attorney's office since last September, when expert witnesses were called for Grand jury testimony in the 1974 slaying of 26-year-old Nancy Lossman of Crystal Lake, formerly of McHenry, and her 3-year-old daughter." Lisa . A New York forensic odon- tologist. Dr Lowell Levine. had been called to the county to testify that teeth marks found on Ms. Lossman's body mat­ ched those of Macek, who has been indicted for the murders Part of the circumstantial evidence which convicted 27- year-old Richard Milone of Wheaton of the'death of Sally Kandel was a bite mark Milone's conviction came after three dentists testified they believed the marks on the victim were made by Milone's teeth Dr Levine has contended the bite mark on Sally Kandel was not made by Milone's teeth. A year ago Macek had all his teeth extracted. At this time he is being held in Wisconsin on charges in connection with the 1974 rape and murder of a maid at the Abbey hotel resort in Fontana Earlier. Macek pleaded guilty to the July, 1975, attempted murder of 20-vear-old Sharon Kulisek in a Woodstock laun dromat and was sentenced to serve a minimum of fifty years in the state penitentiary. The DuPage county state's attorney's office promises a full investigation for a possible link between Macek and the Kandel murder Milone's sentence for the Carol Stream's girl's murder was 80 to 175 years in prison He is confined to the Illinois maximum security prison at Menard.

STAFF PHOTO BY WAYNE GAYLORD A Career day sponsored by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce is scheduled next Wednesday, Nov. 17, to carry out the theme, "Found your spot in life?" It will be held at both East and West campuses. Career day is a mini-course program that provides the student with current in­ formation by local people who are presently working in particular career areas. Students may choose areas of interest to them and seek an­ swers concerning salary, fringe benefits, requirements, training or education, and job attitudes. They have an op­ portunity to learn what is important for job success in a particular occupation. The Chamber and school authorities feel that since most young people receive their first job near home, it is essential to prepare them for useful and satisfying 'occupations in the community. Career day will bring into the school local business, professional, scientific trade and technical people who represent a wide variety of occupations in the McHenry community. Because they are currently employed in the field represented, they know and are aware of the value of skills for employment. Students are being asked to select three areas of interest. In many of them there will be a panel of speakers. Broad categories offered Career day are Administration, A i r l i n e s , A r c h i t e c t u r e , Automotive, Beauty Culture, Building Trades, Business, Child Care and Special Education, Commercial Art, C o m m u n i c a t i o n s , D a t a P r o c e s s i n g , D r a f t i n g , E d u c a t i o n , E m p l o y m e n t , Engineering, Farming, Food Management, Forestry and C o n s e r v a t i o n , H e a l t h Professions and Health Assistants; Also How To Choose a Career, Industrial Technology, Interior Design and Decorating, Journalism, Landscaping and Nursery, Law Enforcement, Law and G o v e r n m e n t , M o r t u a r y Science.

Unfortunately, the incident occurred on Rt. 120 east on a Friday afternoon when it was impossible to escape by passing the vehicle. To avoid damage to our car by staying well away from it was another im­ possibility with a cruising speed topping 25 miles an hour and constant stop-and-go. The truck in point was defective in that gravel con­ stantly poured onto the high­ way, the small stones popping off our car the entire distance. & A strong wind blew the sard backward to create a hazar­ dous driving situation. When the highway finally separated and we parted, it became evident, to our satisfaction, this was not a McHenry truck. But the un­ pleasant incident did make us more cognizant that motorists' complaints in this area are most times valid We believe these trucks, necessary as they are to the business scene, should be watched carefully by authorities as a protection for drivers and their cars.
