Similar clinics have been held with great success over the past three years in several California, Oregon and East Coast communities including Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles and Ventura counties, East San Francisco Bay, Portland and Bethlehem and Allen town, Pa. Special clinics have been held for Congressional wives in Washington, D.C. Almost 15,000 women have received training in car care techniques to date. One clinic participant said she was "appalled" at the level of ignorance about cars that she encounters among women - and many men. "We are an apathetic society", she said. "We abuse our cars. We're not doing preventive main tenance. We contribute to air pollution by not keeping our cars in good shape." Not only do participants come away from the clinics with new information, they also receive a valuable reminder of their new-found "liberation", something that fits neatly into a purse - a tire pressure gauge. That's free too. • • « * Selfish people never make a nation great, re gardless of the money they manage to acquire. • « • * The person who has no appreciation of the beautiful in life hasn't been properly educated. for next year and also that the 16 family members unable to attend this year will get to be with the family next year.

Others in attendance were from Chicago, Harvard, Crystal Lake and Wood stock. The Walkingtons also enjoyed a few days last week in southwestern Wisconsin where they traveled about seeing some of the sights. One of the most interesting places they stopped was at Cassville, where they toured the home of Governor Dewey, the first governor of the State of Wisconsin. BIRTHDAY PARTY Aug. 17 was the day that the Tonyan clan got together to celebrate Rose Tonyan's eighty-first birthday, which will fall on Sept. 5. The celebration was a double one, as it also served as a Tonyan reunion, which they hope to continue having each year. It was to be held at Petersen park, but because of the inclimate weather they all (60) gathered at the home of Clara and Jerome Tonyan. Those attending were Paul and Theresa Tonyan and family, Clarence Tonyan and family, Rita and Schyler Case, Bertha Freund and family, and Dorothy Tonyan and families. Brother Tony and Helen Williams were there, also sister, Louise Tonyan Smith: nieces Rosalie and Don Doherty, Bea and Bob Newkirk, Virginia Williams and friend. A wonderful time was had by all and they are all looking forward to getting together again next year. Coordinator, Wanda hopes to involve others in the plans fc* »- » PLAIN DEALER-FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 19#^ League Directs Free Car Care Clinic For Women Car maintenance has never been easy for the average motorist. Today, with fewer service stations offering full-service care, the need for self- reliance is even greater. This is especially true among women motorists who have grown up being told that cars are part of a "man's world". Where can help be found? An unique approach toward helping women help themselves is being taken in McHenry county through a series of free "Car Care - Not For Men Only" clinics starting Sept. 23. A total of four clinics will be held in McHenry. Ad ministered by the Wood- stock-McHenry League of Women Voters, the clinics are designed principal women, but anyone 16 and older may attend. clinic lasts 2Vfe hours and accommodates unr. to 25 persons. The curriculum Includes an instructional slide show, plus "hands on" practice in such basics as operating a self-serve pump, changing a tire, jump-starting a bat tery, and checking tire pressure and fluid levels. Helpful tips are provided on maintenance, trouble shooting and safety. Each participant gets a kit of reference material to take home. Because the clinics fill up quickly, reservations are required. The number to call is 385-3254 for McHenry.
