PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19,1980 Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of September 25, 1930) Then there is the story of the man who sprained his left arm "patting" himself on the back. At the risk of Cling our left arm out of iness--we don't use it much anway--we want to help you congratulate us on the two full pages of ad­ vertising for Bolger's Drug store, Fire Sale, in this issue of the Plaindealer. There are over a thousand separate items listed in this "copy" and each item has been written, transcribed from notes, set on the linotype, proved up, imposed and locked in the form-more than 5,000 separate operations, each one of which had to be "justified" to the seventy-second of an inch. And it is all there and every bit of it was done in the office of the Plaindealer, from the revised design on ADI7*M *• Slock Most SoftCotUct Prescriptions BAU8CH & LOMB SOFLENS* ULTRA THIN SOFT CONTACT LENSES LENSES ONLY • W H f N P l v | S | N T f [ ) W ! l H T h i ' , A ( J B F O l N N I N O O f i N l f I A L V l S I T LAT AWAY PLANS AVAILABLE 15% OFF NEWIC.A.B.

A pretty Fall wedding of interest to many McHenry people was solemnized at Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Chicago Sept. 20, when Miss Loretta Kathryn Healy of Chicago became the bride of Harold Thomas Knox of Crystal Lake. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of September 26, 1940) Ingratitude in the fullest sense of the word was displayed by a white man who was rescued from the waters of the Fox river by a negro who gave his life in the attempt. The heroic deed evidently meant little or nothing to the rescued man, because he left the scene of the accident before learning the fate of his rescuer, leaving no name or address, showing no sign of ap­ preciation. The deceased was Leo Tabron, 32, of Chicago, who came to McHenry to enjoy a day of fishing at the McHenry dam. When the white man fell off a rock near him, he dove into and pushed him to safety, but lost his life in the effort. A local touch was added to the nomination of J. Albert Woll, who is to succeed William J. Campbell as United States attorney at Chicago, as his McHenry relatives and friends joined with him in rejoicing over this great favor. Mr. Woll is known in McHenry as he is the husband of the former Miss Genevieve Carey of this city. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of September 22, 1955) A memorable fiftieth anniversary is anticipated by members of Chapter No. 547 of the Order of the Eastern Star as they look ahead to an observance of the occasion next month.

The Johnsburg Tigers played heads-up baseball on their home diamond to defeat the Crystal Lake Merchants 7 to 0 in the first game of the county league championship series. The series moves to Crystal Lake next week. . TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of September 18, 1970) Principal Richard A. Swantz has announced that one student at McHenry Community high school West campus has been named semi-finalist in the 1970-71 National Merit scholarship. He is Lawrence Dresdow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dresdow, 519 S. Crystal Lake road, McHenry. A proud McHenry Post 491 American Legion will celebrate the golden an­ niversary of its formation, Sept. 19. Assisting in the celebration will be the auxiliary unit, observing its silver anniversary. Exhibitors from eight states, including Northern Pump Farm of McHenry, paraded nearly^200 top Hereford breeding cattle before Judge Gary Minish of Blacksburg, Va., at the Ohio State fair Hereford Register of Merit show in Columbus, Ohio. Among class winners were three entered by the local farms, a senior bull calf, a summer yearling heifer and best-10-head. Courthouse Squares MCC Instructor Regrets Stand On Humanitarianism MEL WALLACE Americans at a recent international conference dealing with the treatment of prisoners found themselves unable to voice opposition to capital punishment or the torture of prisoners, ac­ cording to Mel Wallace, coordinator of the police science program at McHenry County college. "We were overshadowed by the Canadians in humanitarianism," ex­ plained Wallace, the only Illinois resident invited to attend the sixth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders held Aug. 25 through Sept. 3 in Caracas, Venezuela. Wallace, who was in a group of non-governmental observers at the U.N. meeting, explained, "The U.S. Congress' refusal to make our country a signatory to the protocol on torture put the American U.N. congress delegation in the uncomfortable position of being unable to voice opposition to torturing of prisoners even though we do not torture prisoners here." "What's more, since 38 of our states still favor capital punishment, we could not even oppose the killing of prisoners for their crimes," Wallace said. One American did stand up for humanitarianism, however, Wallace noted. Jack Greenberg, director- counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., spoke representing the In­ ternational League for Human Rights in an unof­ ficial session of the U.N. ********** ********************* * I'VE TOLD , PEOPLE HOW I'M GOING TO VOTE, BUT WHEN I GET BEHIND THAT CURTAIN IN THE VOTING BOOTH NOBODY WILL SEE ME FLIP A COIN / FAMILY IBUFFIT NIGHT AT * * * * * * * * • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Crescent Bay Landing EVERY FRIDAY 5 TO 9 PM In Our Banquet Salon BBQRIBS CHICKEN NEW ENGLAND FISH * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 5 75 "Check our Guarantee...it means a Lot owerwo© Route 14 i 176.

Wallace said Greenberg's speech which accused the U.S. of using capital punishment as a way to kill blacks, was well received, but that it did not have the wide audience he would have like to see it get. "At least his being able to speak was an indication of our free society", Wallace said. The MCC instructor said the United States delegates were able to advocate humanitarian techniques in juvenile justice and to share our expertise on combining efforts of the family, the educational system, the local community and the state to prevent delinquency. He said attending the conference also was a striking reminder that the U.S. is the only country in the world with autonomous police. "We have no national police force. The chief of police in any community, for example, reports only to the mayor and city council of that community and to? the people who live there," Wallace explains. Having independent local police is the "epitome of a democracy", Wallace said, and sets the U.S. apart from other countries which have national control of the police. Wallace, who has studied and worked in England, has attended three other U.N. Congresses including one in 1960 in London, in 1965 in Stockholm and in 1970 in Kyoto, Japan. In addition to attending the formal sessions of this year's N.U. Congress in Caracas, Wallace was a guest at receptions sponsored by delegations from China, the Soviet Union, Canada and England. One benefit of being in­ vited to the Congress is that Wallace will be able to share his experiences with the students enrolled in police science classes at MCC. "In Caracas we had 600 machine gun and grenade carrying commandos guarding us at all times", Wallace said, noting that being in a country which always expects terrorism is a sobering experience. He said he hopes that telling his students about that ex­ perience will emphasize the point that armed strength is not the answer for a police force. "I also hope to awaken them to the international scene in police science, since most are involved with the administration of justice on a strictly local level," Wallace said about his students. r Light One Candle 1 Two Kinds of Love Marilyn D. divorced her husband after 14 years. Looking back on her decision she said, "I don'i know why I was certain I had 10 terminate ihe marriage. I wanted complete freedom. 1 felt irapped. But now I think I made a mistake." Norm F. was married nine years when he and his wife agreed 10 a separation. Divorce followed two years later. "We were both too quick about it. The children (a boy and a girl) were the ones hurt the most. I wish we had given it more lime," he said. The New York Times and CBS News jointly conducted a survey in which those interviewed dismissed, by a 'wo*io-one ratio, ihe idea i ha i outside pressures contributed lo the nation's rising divorce rate. Instead i hey blame couples for "not trying hard enough to stay together." Experience is still the best teacher, but for most people it is only gained through the painful process of trial and error. The movie Kramer vs. Kramer was something of a parable about modern American marriage. I see two major flaws in ihe American social ex­ periment. The first is the false belief ihat romantic love is human love. It isn't. Romantic love is embryonic. If properly cared for it is capable of growing into human love. Romances come and go, but love endures. Human love is strong enough lo transcend bad moods, and brave enough to prevail over selfish instincts. The second flaw is the illusion that most American youngsters are being educated for real life. They aren't. The vast majority of • hem are not sufficiently • rained in the will to bear discomfort. If a person has developed ihe will io bear discomfort, he or she can sail through the mood swings that are part of every marriage. They survive ihe storms without making serious mistakes in because they've the power of judgment learned patience. Recently I was with a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. I asked them what it was that held them together, and after a little discussion they both agreed it was their sense of humor, a lot of mutual forgiveness, and a real dependence of God's grace for strength. Not a bad formula.
