1 ' J THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, March 18.1965 "County's Cancer Crusade Leaders ij<«- W' Don Peasley Photo Spearheading the stepped-up activities of public education, professional education and service to patients by the American Cancer society's McHenry county unit is the newly-formed board of directors. Officers leading the new program are, from left: Mrs. Raymond Gathman, secretary; Dr. George Alvary of McHenry, vice-chairman; Roger Reichert, chairman; and Roland Wexelberg, treasurer. The .No. 1 goal of the 1965 McHenry County Cancer Crusade starting April 1 will be to save lives that are lost unnecessarily. Arnold May, 1965 Cancer Crusade chairman from Richmond, established that as a major target for workers as he announced plans for the official kick-off dinner Tuesday, March 23 at The Timbers, Woodstock. Another important goal of the campaign will be to raise funds to help carry out the American Cancer society's program of research education and service. From the kick-off meeting workers will cover the entire county, and a big goal of $17,500 has been established by May as McHenry county's investment in the battle against cancer. Th^f, work is carried out by more than 500 volunteer workesff^ from throughout McHenry county. Speaker at the kickoff will be Dr. Roger Stewart, Chicago. Volunteer workers from McHenry township include John Flint, business chairman, city of McHenry; Mrs. LaVerne Gregory, residential chairman, McHenry; Mrs. Neva Mass, residential chairman, McCullom Lake; Mrs. Marilyn Topp, residential chairman, Wonder Lake; Joseph Nischan, residential chairman, Sunnyside; Mrs. Martha Roalsen, rural chairman, east McHenry township; Mrs. Diane Fuhler, residential chairman, Lilymoor; Mrs. Marilyn Bacon, residential chairman, Ringwood; and Mrs. Violet Abbink, residential chairman, Nunda. 48-YEAR-OLD RED CROSS CHAPTER CONDUCTS DRIVE House to house solicitation for the Red Cross fund drive in many of the thirteen towns in the county has been delayed due to the weather. When a volunteer solicitor calls, he or she will be identified by carrying a plainly marked Red Cross portfolio and will give the donor a Red Cross membership card for all donations over a dollar and a small Red Cross tag for your window. With so many women at work and so many areas in the county to be solicited, volunteers sometimes fail to contact each individual, so a check mailed to the American Red Cross at Woodstock will be credited to the community in which the contributor lives. Cal Skinner, the county volunteer fund drive chairman, has made speaking engagements before Kiwanis clubs, Rotary clubs, and Lions clubs across the county to explain the work of the American Red Cross on a national, internationrl and local level. The county chapter was formed in 1917. Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued front Page 1 happy with State Senator Paul Simon's war waged on junk yards that are visible from highways. Fences consisting of at least two rows of any one of a variety of fir or pine trees or some other natural barrier, would be required of sufficient density and height to effectively hide the yard. Those inside and outside city limits would be affected. The bill provides fines of not less than $100 or not more than $250 for those who fail to comply- Our favorite TV commercial is done for a cat food (name unknown) and shows the feline eagerly eating out of a glass bowl, while a courageous mouse nibbles at a few pieces which fell just outside. This must have been done with trick photography, yet the cat seems at one point to stop momentarily and give the unsuspecting rodent a glance. This is one which merits frequent repeating, for each time we ponder on the fate of the mouse, "Did he, or didn't he?" K. A. F. McHENRY AREA RESIDENTS AID YMCA FUND DRIVE (Continued from Page 1) DINNER DANCE Plans are nearing completion for the Woodstock Welcome Wagon club annual dinner dance, "A Night De-Rue La Paris", to be held at the Timbers on March 27.

"School, churches, and service clubs are to be commended for their planned activities and community services, but are they really doing enough to meet the need of the communities?" queried Mr. Mudgett. "It is always easy to look back but I think that what was needed, and still is needed, is to provide organizational supports for a central organization, to draw people in to create an atmosphere whore more people will get involved, new people with new ideas and fresh enthusiasm." The formation of the Lake Region' YMCA just over one year ago was a step toward such a ccntral organization, and results show progress in providing coordinated activities. Mr. Mudgett emphasized that the second year is" often a crucial one, and therefore the utmost in cooperation and tolerencc arc needed.

SHOP IN McHENRY Workshop For Retarded Opens The McHenry County Association for Retarded Children opened a sheltered workshop in Wonder Lake early this month, with Mrs. Adelaide B. Patzke of McCullom Lake in charge of the shop adjoining the training center. Mrs. Patzke is the mother of two sons, one a teacher in New Zeland and the other an engineer. She has taught Sunday School many years, participated in church and camp counseling, and is now helping these older retarded children to achieve a sense of usefulness and to earn a small wage. Simple jobs are needed to keep the workshop in operation so if business men have operations which would qualify, they are asked to contact Mrs. William Pierce of McHenry, a member of the association. There may be young people who need the experience of workshop employment who have not been reached by the committee. Anyone wishing to enroll or to visit the shop is asked to call Mrs. Patzke, 385-3278, or Mrs. Pierce. The next association meeting in Wonder Lake w ill be on Tuesday, March 23, at S p.m. and will deal .with the workshop operation. Everyone is invited to meet Mrs. Patzke and to learn of the .projects currently handled by her workers.

Laura, played by jane Macdonald, whose mother has married again, and who leads her grandmother by the nose, and exploits her caprices and her leading toward Freudian explanations. The man servant, portrayed by Ray Spohr, is a classless, ageless man, unhandy with/hfe but with a "passion for the right". The governess has done a life sentence for murder and has only recently come out of prison. This fact swells like a mushroom cloud all through the play, and the cloud developes flames within it when the judge who once sentenced her comes to lunch. Others in the cast include Cathy Ruth as Olivia, Julie Thompson and Georgia Forester as second and third applicants, Issy Wolf as the nurse, and Vic Beck as the judge.
