PAGE 18 - PLA1NDE ALEK - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 9,1961 SECOND GIRL DIES ;FROM RECENT AUTO- PEDESTRIAN CRASH (Continued from page I) Ms. McGee told McHenry police she was northbound on Park street, waiting to cross Elm, when another motorist motioned her to proceed. As she en­ tered the intersection, her car struck an auto driven by Donald R. Houston, of 810 Southgate, McHenry. Carmon L. Hodges, of 1417 Beach, McHenry, was ticketed for driving without headlights after the auto he was driving struck another vehicle on Elm street. The driver of the other car, Alan L. Rosenquist, of 6108 Maiden lane, Spring Grove, said he was pulling out of a parking lot to head east on Elm street when the collision occurred. A hubcap from the Hodges vehicle struck an auto driven by Delores M. Rogers, of 4316 W. Shore drive, McHenry. ' AIR PROPOSAL FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT LAND DETACHMENT (Continued from page 1) superintendent of District 118 were of the same opinion. "If the matter goes to the regional boards, it is at that time that the in­ dividual boards would react publicly," he said There would be a monetary loss for both McHenry school districts if the affected area was given to District 118, Swartzloff admitted. "We would still have the same operational expenses," the ad­ ministrator said. He noted that ap­ proximately 30 District 156 high school students lived in the affected area. "Right now the boards have no position on the matter because it has not progressed to the point where the school board must take a position," Swartzloff said. The administered said he expected the mayor of Island Lake to take the information back to the village government for further debate and examination. BACK HOME FROM PERU (Continued from page 1) ferences between the school systems, noting that in Peru the students remain in a single room and the teachers move from class to class. "The students all stand when the teacher enters the room," Nejedly said. "There is a little more discipline in the schools there." "There is a teachers' day where the students recognize the teachers and there is a small party in school," Nejedly noted. "The teachers have the next day off." The kids have a very active night life, he said. The youth in Lima do many of the same things as the youth in America, Nejedly explained. "They go to parties, soccer matches, movies and go cruising in father's car," he said. He noted that there is no drinking age in Peru and observed that there was little problem with in­ toxication. "The kids drank, but not to get drunk," he said. Michael stayed in Lima for two months and spent a good deal of time sightseeing. "I saw the Inca capitol, Machupic- chu, in Cusco," he said. Nejedly also noted seeing a city, the buildings of which were fashioned from huge rocks. "They were put together so perfectly that no mortar was used," he added. In Lima, Nejedly saw cathedrals, a house that was more than 440 years old and the presidential mansion. He commented that there was no middle class in Peru. "The people are either rich or poor," Nejedly said. "The poor are not ashamed of it and will sell anything and beg openly." The rich, he went on, really live well. Almost all have maids and servants who work for little more than room and board. They have big cars, butlers and chauffeurs, he said. Nejedly said that a lot of the goods available in Lima was imported from the United States. "You'll see designer jeans and Levis, American-made shoes, and a lot of househould products," he said. Nejedly added that much of the pork and beef in the country came from America as well. "The pork and beef is not very good there," he observed. Nejedly noted that much of the television fare and most of the motion pictures were of American manufac­ ture and are either dubbed or subtitled in Spanish. As an American abroad, Nejedly encountered little or no bad feelings from the Peruvians. "They accepted Americans well, although they did not talk much about it," he commented. "They actually shook my hand after the United States sent supplies following an earthquake." "I was scared at first," Nejedly said, noting that this was the first time he had left the country and his family for an extended period of time. "Then it felt like I was part of the family," he said. "I went to visit 'relatives' and stayed pretty busy." Nejedly said he was looking'forward to his senior year in high school in McHenry. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) Pat Bauer, and Helen Seborg -all put their individual interpretations on the Memory lane role they were playing. We let them know they had played to an appreciative audience by en­ thusiastic applause. And all the while our mind was racing back in time to days and events before the remem­ brance of these wonderful, loyal friends of today. We shut our eyes from time to time and other faces took their places as events of another time came into view. To the casual onlooker, it was just another pleasant dinner enjoyed by a group of people bonded together by a common career. How much they missed! As the plot unfolded for two hours, these actors shared gifts, humor, «nd memories. But best of all, they shared their friendship with an audience of one who rated their performance Five Stars. KAF MORE GROUP HOMES IN PLANNING (Continued from page 1) and development of both parcels and the architectural and attorney's fees is $432,700. Lambourn noted thk there are "bail­ out" provisions all along the process, which is still in the very preliminary stages. The administrator said that if the FHA were to approve only 70 percent of the grant, he would tell the board of directors that it was a "no-go" situation and recommend backing out of the project. "The group home is not the most cost efficient," Lambourn admitted, noting that a 100-bed facility would be less costly to operate. "It is, however, the most humane," he said.

Average daily figures show 171 riders from McHenry and 285 boarding in Woodstock. * The service cutbacks were^iH- plemented due to continuing RfA financial problems. RTA officials previously Estimated that $400 million would be needed to maintain mass transportation services through fiscal 1983. " ' * ' Why your electric company is plugging axil and uranium. There are really only two fuels. The scarce ones and the abundant ones. The more dependent we are on the scarce fuels to make electricity, the less certain we can be that there will always be enough electricity. And the more costly that electricity becomes. So at Commonwealth Edison, we make almost half of our electricity' from coal and most of the rest from uranium. Both are abundant fuels. By using them, we're helping to conserve Americans oil and natural gas resources for transportation ~- and other vital energy needs. And we're lessening our reliance on imported fuels. Last year coal and uranium supplied energy equivalent to about 100 million barrels of oil, which would have cost over $2.5 billion in fuel . expense Think of electricity as the Conservation Energy. The next time you plug something in, remember: You're using the energy that helps save energy. Commonwealth Edison
