"City of Joseph", when the historical masicai opens Aag. 10 in Nsnvoo. III. Dancing The Summer Away Two McHenry brothers, Troy and Todd Weiler, have landed dancing roles in the historical musical, "City of Joesph". The performance, scheduled for Aug. 10-14, is staged outside on a hillside setting in Nauvoo, III., and is based on the unique history of this original American Frontier. "City of Joseph" boasts a cast from several surrounding states aqdVxne come from as far as Utah. Troy and Todd have seen the performance several times and were encouraged by past par­ ticipants to become involved. An audition in the early part of the summer afforded them that chance. Their activity in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (Mormon) has given them the added incentive to take part. Nauvoo, "The City of Joseph", played an integral part in the early history of the Mor­ mon church. Troy, aged 16, and Todd, 15, don't have a lot of time on their hands. They both work on the average of 10 hours a day with their father, Wayne Weiler, and also pursue their church ac­ tivities regularly, which includes working toward the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scout program. They make the trip to Nauvoo for rehearsals (five to six hours one way) and beginning Aug. 2 are staying for two weeks, all at their own expense. They even provide their own costumes. Sacrfice? Some might think so, but Troy and Todd both feel it a great opprotunity to express themselves and their beliefs by taking part in a presentation that tells a story of faith - of hope - »n«t courage. "City of Joaeph" will be per formed at 1:» p.m. each evening tan Nauvoo from Aug. 10 to 14. Admission is free. Dedication ceremoniea will take place on Saturday. Aug. 14, for 11 newly restored historical buildings along with the site of the second temple built by the Mormons in the 19th oontury. In April, M30. when Smith the Mormon leader the property at Commerce, for Ms people who had Just' driven by persecution from Miseouri, it was one of two log homes. By IMS, jusi six yews later, it had grown Into a city of II,000 people, the size of Chicago, and one of the 10 largest citiee in the United States at the time. Its homes were made of brick, it had a library, one of few on the Weatem frontier. It was culturally advanced for its time with con­ certs and plays held regularly. It published two newspapers. The Nauvoo Legion was one of the largeet military units outside of the United States Army. There were no jails, and the city charter, granted by the State of Illinois, gave Nauvoo moat of the rights and privileges granted to an independent state. Truly it was a reflection of its name - Nauvoo - "beautiful place". As quickly as it started, it ended. On June 27, 1044, Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob at Carthage, III. Soon the Mormons were to be driven from their homes once more. This is the theme of the production. It is the story of a period Pf history that brought about a strength and develop­ ment in the infancy of the Mor­ mon church. It is also a reflection of one man - and so it is af­ fectionately called, "City of Joeeph".

If a child has trouble reading, listening, or speaking, he or she may have a learning disability because of a hearing problem that occurred earlier-during the pre-school years. The hearing problem, called conductive hearing loss, often comes with colds, earaches and allergies - all .so prevalent during these busy summer f ~ months. 1 " The Easter Se^l society urges parents to have their children's * hearing checked often during the pre-school years. In children with otherwise normal in­ telligence, an un­ detected or untreated hearing problem can result in poor school achievement, language and learning. Such children may also have poor social skills. More than half of all children experience some level of conductive hearing loss at least once by the age of three. The Easter Seal society advises parents to be alert for a possible learning disability if their child: *...has significant delays in speech and language 'development; ...is easily distracted; ...has a short attention span; ...has to be told something many times; ...often reverses words in a sentence. Fortunately, con­ ductive hearing loss can be detected easily and prevented from causing a learning disability with a machine called a tympanometer, recently purchased by the Easter Seal society. Testing is simple and painless and can be done in less than a minute with children as young as seven months. The Easter Seal Society for McHenry County will be conducting free hearing testing twice in August. On Aug 12, therapists will be testing at Skokie Federal Savings & Loan in Woodstock, 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p m. and Aug. 25, therapists will be available in Crystsl Point Plaza from 9:30 5:00. For more information about conductive hearing loss and its effect on learning, contact the Easter Seel Swtety fee Msllenry County ^al » 700 Washington in Wood­ stock or phone 815-338- 1707 They will work closely with the child's physician in diagnosing and treating hearing problems. Smal l Cars Small cars offer a number of advantages over large cars - they can be maneuvered more easily, stopped more quickly, and are less expensive to operate However, persons accustomed to driving large cars should be aware that there are important differences between large and small cars. These include: stability, the small car can be affected more by strong winds, visibility, drivers of large vehicles may have trouble seeing a small car , and weight and mass, a small car is less capable of ab­ sorbing more force than a heavier car in a collision The National Safety council has published a 12-page pamphlet titled "Driving the Small Car", which contains tips on safe operation of small cars.
