BIRD CLUB HAS FINE FIELD TRIP ALONG WATERWAY Recently, the McHenry County Bird Club met at the McHenry Country Club for a hike along the waterway to view the ducks and along, the road to view land birds. In one gathering were approximately 200 Mallards, 100 Black Ducks and eight domestic Pekins. During extremely cold weather when the water is frozen over, the number of ducks in this group increases to over 500. Sighted on the Fox River with more Mallards were two American Goldeneye Ducks. Altogether 20 species of birds were spotted including such landbirds as the Flicker, Redwinged Blackbirds, Horned Larks, the Tree, Song and Fox Sparrows, Purple Finches, Cowbird and Cardinals. Members noted that the wintering songbirds like the CaVdinals have suddenly changed from their dry cry of winter to their rich song of spring. Juncos, Tree Sparrow's and Purple Finches, all of whom have been fairly quiet during the winter, were trilling their beautiful songs on Saturday. These latter three birds are congregating in large flocks, preparing for their migration northward where they will nest as far up as the Arctic Circle. The hike was continued at McHenry Dam State Park, where 90 more Mallards were sighted. Of special interest here, however, were eight rather peculiarly marked hybrid ducks, which approximated hybridization of the Mallard and Black Ducks. Coffee and rolls were served by Misses Alice and Leta Clark while 'club members discussed plans for the next Saturday morning hike on April 17 in the Greenwood area. Guests are always welcome.

MORE ON CAUCUSES "Dear Readers: "In regard to Mr. Brady's reply to my letter to the Public Pulse, I wsh to call his attenton to the facts. Pursuant to an opinion rendered by William G. Clark, Attorney General of the state of Illinois, to Richard Cross, State's Attorney for McHenry county, made on my request, Mr. Clark sent an opinion that the town board of auditors must call a caucus of the major parties, noticing when and where it shall be held. The respective parties or their leaders have no voice in the calling of caucuses (except as to the manner in which the caucus shall be conducted.) "If Mr. Brady sees fit to deny his party the right to slate candidates that is his business, but the members of his party have an absolute right to caucus. Also, I have never filed an intention to caucus because I do not have the power to do so, only the town board of auditors have that power and I asked the officers thereof if they had set up the caucuses or intended to do so.

Boehm of McHenry, campaign director for United Cerebral Palsy of McHenry County, has announced the total results to date of the organization's annual fund drive which was held in January. Funds received in the drive to date amount to $8,6&9.95 for the entire county, which is about $3,000 lower than the drive conducted in 1964P The reasons given for the lower figure was the difficult weather conditions which existed all through January, and into March. There were four towns in the county where ho fund drive was conducted, and it is hoped that a ' door-to-door drive can be organized in each locality during the month of May. The cities which did not take part in January were Alden, Hebron, Fox River Grove and Algonquin. Drives for funds conducted in the larger cities in the county brought in the following results: Cary, $717.66; Crystal Lake, $1,979.31; Harvard,, $580.45; McHenry, $1,'404.13; Marengo, $634.89; Woodstock, $801.53; and Richmond, $216.41. The balance of the funds were from small villages and subdivisions throughout the affiliate area. United Cerebral Palsy of McHenry County has expressed sincere appreciation for all help received in this drive, proceeds from which will help to pay the expenses of the handicapped classroom located at the West School in Crystal Lake, as well as pay for much needed equipment for the homebound suffering from this dread disease. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS RATE REDUCTION Northern Illinois Gas Company has announced a $7.2 million rate reduction--the largest single rate cut in its history.

"John T. Licastro McCULLOM LAKE MAN RECEIVES COLLEGE DEGREE vw, KENNETH SAWDO ' Kenneth L. Sawdo, son of Mr. and Mrs; Lee A. Sawdo, 5213 W. Fountain Lane, a graduate Of McHenry Community high school, received the degree of bachelor of science in electrical engineering at the winter quarter- commencement exercises of the Milwaukee School of Engineering. A total of thirty-five candidates were presented for the bachelor of science degree in electrical or mechanical engineering, and twenty-four for associate in applied science degrees in related engineering technologies. Theodore Pearce, executive vice-president and secretary, National Fluid Power Association, Thiensville, Wis., was the principal speaker at the commencement exercises held Friday evening, March 26, in the auditorium of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company building, 720 East Wisconsin Avenue. Archeologists still cannot explain how ancient man moved the huge rocks used in some of the temples at Baalbek, Lebanon, north of Palestine. Many are 64 feet long, 14 feet high and 12 feet wide -- and are of Egyptian marble. How these 750 ton hunks were quarried, dressed into shape, and moved hundreds of miles over water, then many more miles over roadless mountains to their present location, all without power tools or machinery--still, poses an interesting question.

PVT. GRITZUK, JR. Private Michael Gritzuk, Jr., who is with the U. S.

In his last weeks of training, he was appointed assistant sergeant. He was home on leave for fourteen days and is now stationed at Fort Sill, Okla.

"A study by the Division of Highways shows the driver death rate per 10,000 registered compact cars was nearly two and onehalf times greater than for other passenger vehicles," Lorenz said, "and the passenger fatality toll almost doubled. Small cars have the attraction of lower initial cost and economy of operation, compared with larger types. These advantages, however, have nothing to do with safe operation. The small car, as opposed to larger and heavier vehicles, has certain disadvantages that must be offset by the skill of the driver, his knowledge of its capabilities and method of handling to be assured of a reasonable amount of safety."
