AND Crashes Bring Death, Injuries MUSIN' MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) youngsters prepare eagerly for the festivities of graduation. Very often, he reminds, alcohol enters into the festivities. As he pondered the many groups which have sprung up through, the country dedicated to fighting drunk drivers on the highway, he recalled an effort made in the state of Maine starting in 1970. Seven alcohol-related fatalities had occurred in just one area of the state two weeks before graduation. In 1980 there were community awareness activities conducted, culminating in a popular alcohol and drug-free party for the seniors. One law enforcing officer commented; later that "graduation night was quieter than an ordinary night." By 1982 the entire state of Maine was involved. School districts across the state reported successful: chemical-free graduation parties, some held on cruise boats, some in dance halls with live bands, some at state parks and camp grounds. "Project Graduation" received important media support. Recalling MCHS proms of other years, the changes locally are noteworthy, and they are deserving of mention. There is something to be said for the student effort to decorate the gym­ nasium, and this is gone. But in its place is an evening of entertainment that is entirely chaperoned, and there are no cars taking off from the school at midnight for distant points with tired drivers at the wheel. Moms and Dads must be sleeping better these days. Teens must mature, to be sure, and this has to include a responsbilility they are allowed to assume. But some graduation festivities are not, by design, the best times to expect a 16- year-old to suddenly mature. KAF McHenry Area Rescue squad volunteers attend to Cynthia Frenchak, of E.

It is a testament to ingenuity and determination colonial women to create beauty from what was at hand. In early America, decorative yarns and threads were scarse and expensive. Resourceful colonial women made use of what they did have - unbleached ihuslin and cotton wicking used for candles. Today's chenille bedspreads are the descendants of the colonial can- dlewicked ones. The appeal of can­ dlewicking lies in its simplicity. The stitches most often used are French, Bullion, and Colonial knots, satin stitch, and outline stitch.
