"Doctors" of all kinds have been trying to find the answer for years, but the malady remains. A look at the Twice Told Tales in this issue gives a reminder that it is a problem that dates back at least a quarter of a century to a time when McHenry was a very small city. Someone stole a replica of Santa Claus from the yard of a Riverside drive home. It's the reason some of the best displays in the community no longer add their brilliance to the outdoor holiday scene. It's the reason decorations in the Pearl street park were changed from a lollipop lane to less accessible lighting Unlike shoplifting and other types of theft, also on the increase throughout the country, vandalism is a despicable action because it benefits no one The illness seems to be very real, and to date no medicine has provided a cure. KAF A 23-year-old Belvidere man was pronounced dead early Friday at the scene of a one-vehicle accident. Joseph J. Meister of 107Vi First street, was thrown from his vehicle in the accident about 4 a.m. on Alden road, north of Nelson road, Woodstock.

Allsup, of McHenry, told sheriff's police the animal ran into the path of his vehicle on Illinois 120. Police report the deer as an ap­ proximate 70-pound buck. William Bishop of Hebron reported to sheriff's police Thursday evening that while driving south on Illinois 47 at Raycraft road a deer ran into the path of his vehicle and the animal was killed. Snowy and icy road conditions were contributing factors in three separate accidents last Thursday which resulted in more than $250 damage to each vehicle involved. McHenry police cited James J. Gajda, of 1900 Knight Bridge, Mt. Prospect, for driving too fast for con-^ ditions following a rear-end collision at (he intersection of Front and Elm streets. The driver of the other auto, Mary Fergen, of 1823 Woodlawn, McHenry, told police she was stopped facing north on Front street, waiting to make alight turn, when her car was struck in the rear. Gajda said he was unable to stop on the snowy road. The collision occurred at 1:20 p.m. Dec. 17. About an hour later, at the in­ tersection of Shore and' Meadow, in Lakeland Park, an auto driven by Donna M. Davidson, of 3003 W. Mary lane, McHenry, was unable to stop and crashed into another car. The driver of the other car, Joseph D. Doherty, of. 1410 N. Green street, McHenry, told police he was proceeding through the intersection when the Davidson auto drove into the intersection without stopping. Ms. Davidson said she applied the brakes but skidded across the in­ tersection due to the ice. McHenry police ticketed Ms. Davidson for driving without a valid driver's license and driving too fast for conditions. The accident occurred at 2:29 p.m. Dec. 17. David P. Ullrich, of 4014 Kane, McHenry, was attempting to change lanes on Elm street when he lost control of the auto, which struck another car. The driver of the other car was Mary E.

Area Polish Join City Rally SEEKS TREARL'RER POST Harvard City Treasurer William Johnston has announced his candidacy for the county treasurer's post being vacated by Audrey Walgenbach. He is a former exectutive vice-president of the First State bank of Harvard, a position he left to pursue personal,(interests. By Kurt Begalka Shaw News Media Service "I want to raise my hand and be counted," said Dan Terlikowski of Woodstock. "I think it might affect politics." Terlikowski and about 5,000 others rallied in support of the Polish people last week at the Daley center. Banners and signs called for unity and attacked the Soviet Union and Polish Premier Wojciech Jaruzelski Terlikowski was hoping to get a bus load from McHenry county, but on such short notice many were unable to come. However, Frank Ficek, 57, and Casimar Mikosz, 62. of McHenry joined Terlikowski in the protest. All are members of the Polish League of American Veterans, American Legion Post 491 of McHenry. ' The people don't have a fighting chance unless the democratic world helps," Ficek said "What the govern­ ment tells them, they have to do. We can tell the government to go to hell, but they can't." •• Mikosz and Ficek both are deeply concerned about the situation. "It is our ancestry. We sympathize with the Polish," Mikosz said. "I know darn well you wouldn't want to eat meat once a month." DISCOVER The Perfect Gift for Anyone Unsure about a gift selection?

W«j4 IN DEBATE COMPETITION-John Snyder, in'fiast campus novice, sits at left preparing his presentation. At right is the student, debates as his partner, Jeff BJorn, West campus opposing team from Belvidere. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Recognition Given Students The parents of both Ficek and Mikosz came from Poland. Ficek's father came from Krakow, his mother from a small village outside Warsaw. Mikosz's parents lived in the southern section. His grandfather was a mayor in Poland for 16 years. Terlikowski is second-generation American, but blood runs thick and ties are strong. A picture of Pope John Paul II hangs proudly on the wall of his tavern. The suffering beneath the Communist shadow hangs heavy on his spirit. "It's more than just being Polish by a last name," he said. "The food and music are all disappearing. I'd like to hang onto that heritage." In its history, Poland has been con­ tinual scene of conflict. In 1772 it lost a third of its territory and half its population to Russia, Austria and Prussia. In 1795 it was swallowed completely. It was re-established following World War I, only to be in­ vaded again by Germany and Russia and later by Russia in 1945. Through all this the people somehow have survived. The title of Poland's national anthem says it well: "Jeszcre Polska nie Zginela" -- Poland has not yet perished. In an impressive recognition held in conjunction with a recent instructional meeting, the board of High School District 156 witnessed the presentation of certificates to members of the crack varsity boys' cross country team Members finished third in the Illinois cross country meet about a month ago.

Recognized were Gordon Bourey, Wade Cepulis, Wally Henshall and Ben Schweder, seniors; Roland Ostrander and James Wynveen, juniors; Steve Carby, Marty Koleno and Brian Wright, sophomores; and Chris Creutz, fresh­ man. Also recognized were three members of the girls' cross country team for having achieved all- conference status. They were Mary Bazan, junior; Delia Saunders, sophomore; and Pam Bradley, fresh­ man. Two seniors, Curt Rehberg and Tom Lynk, were honored as varsity football players who had achieved all-Fox Valley conference status. Previously, recognition had been given, through certificates to members of the varsity golf team which recently won the I.H.S.A. district golf tour­ nament and the Fox Vallev conference championship. Golf Coach Chuck Cuda and members of the West campus team were in­ troduced. Recognized were Dan Long, Mike Nank, Brad Adams, Kirk Bar- nicle, Mike Bauml, Randy Buenzli, Scott Grady, Robert Mortell, Steve Svec and Tom Neuman. Also honored was Pam West, West campus senior, for having achieved all- conference status in volleyball. Joel Boeka, representing the Warrior Booster club, presented shirts to the cross country team which indicated its spendid showing in state competition. Mrs. Amanda Noyes, home economics instructor, gave a presen­ tation of the school's Child Care program and took them to the activity center to see available equipment. Mrs. Noyes said the purpose of the program was to provide experience for those students interested in pursuing child-related careers. Letters are sent from each campus to parents, asking if they would like their pre-school children to become involved in the program. In all, about 16 can be accommodated in each school. Freshman and sophomore students are involved chiefly in a study program. However, juniors and seniors work with the young children. They are encouraged to learn to recognize problems and, if possible, arrive at remedies to deal with them.

TO StBP IS HUHUULTO SIBP MIMNG THE MY IS DMHL If you were in our shoes, you'd think so too. Because the way things are now, when nearly every­ body's up during the day, it's not so divine. The cost of producing electricit y goes up. You see, the eight million people we serve use an enormous amount of electricity before they go to bed. And our main generating stations, the ones that run on coal and uranium, have an impossible time handling the demand. It takes our oil burners to pull us through. But oil is far more expen­ sive than coal and uranium. So during the day, electricity costs far more to make. Up to four and a half times more. Of course, if half of us would volunteer to start sleeping during the day, it would hold down the demand. Which would also hold down the amount of oil we have to bum, the number of new generating stations we have to build, and the size of the electric bills you have to pay every month. Since that's asking an awful lot, though, you'll be relieved to know there are other ways to get the job done. Nothing earthshiaking. Just conserving a little more S in the daytime. Like not running the dish­ washer till 9 or 10 p.m. Or the clothes dryer. Or other easy things like that. When enough people go along, they really can make a difference. All we have to do is do it together. That's the key. To keeping costs down. To getting some control over tomorrow. If we only wake up. --j Commonwealth Edison Dcrtt take tomoricw fcr granted
