PAGfe. 18 - PLAINDI ALFH - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.1980 Freedom To Choose Place To Live Valued Freedom Tf * * ^ Y ^ V \ m Dorothy Stevens stands, at right, beside "An Election for Freedom" booth which attracted many at the recent McHenry County fair. One of the voters was Inge Kegley, shown at left. The freedom to choose where one will live and raise children was chosen by McHenry county fairgoers as the freedom they would miss the most if they were to lose it. They were asked to vote their "beans for freedom" at a booth on Cambodian relief efforts co- sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and the McHenry County Friends Meeting. Each voter was given 10 beans to distribute among five jars. Before the fair closed Aug. 3, five pounds of pinto beans had been voted. A brother and sister team, David, 11, and Elaine Rogers, 10, from Sandwich, 111., and their cousin, Wendy MacDermaid, 15, Westbloom Field, Mich., volunteered their services as a bean counting committee and certified the following results: Freedom to choose the place where you will live and raise your children -- 950. Freedom to worship as you choose -- 911. Freedom to gather with your friends - 869. Freedom to speak your mind - 768. Freedom to read and study - 742. Dorothy Steves, spokesperson for the McHenry County Friends Meeting, said, "It is hard to think of the tragedy of the Cambodian people when everybody has come to the fair to have a good time. This election was a way to get people to reflect on the importance of domestic freedoms enjoyed in this country but usually take for granted. These particular freedoms were chosen because they are ones the Cambodian people lost under the tragic rule of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge." When he came to power, those living in the capital city of Phnom Penh were forcibly moved to the countryside. No notice was given nor time to gather the children. Many families were dispersed and still have not been reunited. In the coutnry, people were organized in small communes. No one was allowed to communicate outside this tiny group. Even here they had to be careful what they said. It was dangerous to mourn their dead and death was all around them. Attempts were made to eliminate the educated class and there was destruction of the Buddhist monasteries. Although the Khmer Rouge has since lost power through the invasion of the North Vietnamese, Cambodia's traditional enemy, the country continues to be politically unstable. Suf­ fering and fear still spreads like a cloud over the land. "We tried to get those voting to imagine what it would be like to live without these ordinary freedoms. It is not until they are threatened or lost that we realize how important they are to all people," Ms. Stevens said. "Many people had trouble deciding among the jars, saying they were all im­ portant. That's why we gave them 10 beans so they could vote for them all if they wished. Others felt that one freedom in particular was personally very important to them and they had the option to place all 10 beans in that spurgeon's McHENRY MARKET PLACE FULL TIME SALES HELP NEEDEft- |» . mm mm Mature - Responsible - Hard working people needed to take charge in running select depts. as Dept.

"In this unorthodox election we broke one of the cardinal rules. We paid for their votes. Each participant carried away with them a Cambodian child's smile." For the educators in the county she had a word of reassurance. "Don't worry about the freedom to read and study coming in last in the bean count. Voting beans attracted quite a few ten- year-old boys who had dif­ ficulty thinking of this as a freedom. As one boy put it, 'That's work!' " Under Pol Pot, anyone who could read had to conceal the fact. Even wearing eye glasses might be looked on as proof of a reader and place the per­ son's life in jeopardy. AFSC is running a Children to Children campaign trying to supply pencils, notebooks, and other school necessities to Cambodian children whose education was in­ terrupted for five years. This might be of interest to local teachers or others who work with children. / "We were fortunate to have the kind Assistance of two Cambodians who helped us man the booth on Saturday and provided much interesting material," Ms. Stevens said. "Cheap C. Chhun, a former college professor and specialist in business administration, was in this country on a Fulbright scholarship when tjp€ troubles broke out. One Of his close friends graduated from the University of Michigan and went back to his country only to be executed for his education. Kampha Seth, who left his Buddhist monkhood in 1972, has been working actively to help the relatively small community of Cambodian refugees who have been resettled in this country keep their cultural heritage alive. Both men have been working with the Travelers Aid society to set up a Cam­ bodian Craft center where materials, tools, and a place to work will be provided for Cambodian artists and craftsmen. It will also provide a way for Cam­ bodian children to learn their rich cultural background. Among other arts the traditional dance will be taught to the young girls." Their plan is to raise $2,000 to launch the center this fall. Donations of work benches, hand and power tools, and art supplies including carvable stone and wood would also be most welcome. Those interested in helping should contact Travelers Aid society, 327 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, telephone 435-4500. In September the United States will have a vote on who will represent the Cambodian people at the United Nations. Last year the United States gave their support to the deposed government of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Since this i government was responsible for 1.4 to 1.8 million deaths from disease, executions, and hard labor, AFSC is mounting a postcard campaign asking President Carter and representatives in Congress to stop the continued support of Pol Pot. AFSC is not advocating the recognition of any alter­ n a t i v e g o v e r n m e n t , preferring to leave this post vacant until enough peace and stability comes to enable the Cambodians to rebuild their lives and country in frQgdom. Local residents are being asked to join in this effort. For more information on relief and education efforts or times and locations of McHenry County Friends Meetings call 385-8512.

The answer to the first question is yes. Many of the so-called tall tales one hears • about big hailstones are pro­ bably closer to the truth than the listener realizes. Hail is usually formed in thunderheads because these storm clouds contain very strong up-drafts. Rain drop­ lets begin to fall, are caught by an updraft and suddenly « carried to an altitude where the temperature is below freezing: The rain droplets freeze into hail. They fall again, picing up moisture as they reenter the r^anrarear-but are sent aloft jy another up\draft where the moisture adae43ifce the first freeze is frozen to the ^ center core. The process of fall and ascent is cometimes carried on several times; the ' hailstones growing larger with each trip upward. The ^stronger the up- drafts in the thunderhead; the larger hail is likely to be.
