ry - v . •ctlon One--Pag* Eight THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER Thuridar, July 28.1968 HEAD START PROGRAM IN rOURTHWEEK ' .The McHenry County Head Start program is, entering its fourth week, completely und a u n t e d b y t h t c u r r e n t h e a t wave. Enrollment is complete, s e r v i n g t h e 1 5 9 c h i l d r e n f o r which the project was intended. Openings do arise, as in the case of migrant children, so that some of the children on the waiting lists have been accommodated. The original three centers, Harvard, Woodstock and Crystal Lake, have been expanded to four with the addition of the white house kindtrgarten building in McHenry. This building houses two. classes, taught by Mrs. Marion Slavin, formerly at the Crystal Lake center, and Mrs. Vermis Deming, formerly of the Woodstock center. It was felt that transferring these two classes would better serve the children of the McHenry area as well as make them better o r i e n t e d i n f a l l w h e n t h e y enter kindergarten. Parent meetings have been heldLjit all the centers. These meetings are informal gatheri n g s w h e r e t h e . p a r e n t s a n d t e a c h e r s m e t t o d i s c u s s t h e children's progress as well as the goals of the program. As part of the Head Start Project, medical and dental exminations will be administered to the children. Dr. Lee G l a d s t o n e , a m e m b e r o f t h e Community Action agency, is in charge of securing doctors and dentists from the areas of the four centers to administer these examinations. He and his team hope to begin this week. In order to facilitate these exa m i n a t i o n s , h e a n d t h e s t a f f have asked the parents to file out a brief medical history. Each center has taken their first field trip - a picnic at parks and farms in the area of their center. More trips are being planned, which include the zoo, a local airport, and tht Illinois Railroad Museum in Union. The response of McHenry county to the call for volunteers has been most gratifying, providing most centers with a qualified art and music teacher as well as people to help on t h e p l a y g r o u n d s a n d i n t h e classrooms. Some volunteers give a morning a week, while others give up to five days each week. Ronald Domagala of Crystal Lake is the project director. J u d g e J a m e s C o o n e y i s t h e chairman of the McHenry County Community Action Agency. FAIR OFFICE OPEN As an accommodation to those interested in more information concerning the county fair, the office on the grounds is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.rrr, Monday through Friday. Miss Betty Boppart, a long time 4-H member who served as 4-H queen in 1964, is spending her summer vacation from school working in the office. She may be contacted for information at 338-5315. ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY Musin' & Meanderin (Continued From Page 1) own effort to put our best foot forward, not only on Marine Festival weekend but throughout the year. Fortunately, it seems, our residence is located out of the "line of fire" of speeding and peeling cars. Folks in other locations tell us we are lucky that; only occasionally we experience thgse "sounds of the sixties" that greet their ears nightly. There seems to be almost a fiendish delight that a minority of young drivers take in attempting to make the quickest get-away in the shortest time with the most noise. Time and again police have answered calls from folks who are tiring of this childish pastime, but the offenders seem to have an uncanny awareness of the moment trouble is imminent and manage to disappear at the opportune time. If crime doesn't pay, it also applies to flaunting the law in smaller ways, especially when those ways are so disturbing to the general public that a real crack-down on the nuisance is taken. Wedding receptions are wonderful places to catch up on conversation, and we did just that last Saturday with So I Hear after the Anglese-Giamalva marriage. Now we didn't bring up the subject, but guess it was only natural that somebody should mention the Plaindealcr when they saw two old timers with the business. We were a bit taken back when Bill Doherty admitted to turning first to the sports column because "it was so relaxing". Then, the mayor stepped up with a sly prin and asked us to smile while he snapped a picture for a rival paper. But Forence Knox of Crystal Lake pepped up our sagging ego when she walked up to say she was enjoying her weekly paper, starting with the front page, down through society and then sports. One thing is sure, our cowriter may be able to pick a winning sports team but he does a poor job in a food line. That's the first time anybody has ever seen either of us trailing at the very end. This seems to be a big year for rabbits, which makes it a bad year for gardeners. Just as we were enjoying a friendly, big bunny who was becoming almost a pet, up popped an offspring so bold he has leveled two rows of late beans standing ashamedly without benefit of leaves. Remembering a similar predicament a few years ago, we 'went direfctly ;to the answer to that problem -- pinsMtte". ,lhis year, the wheels £>Ut tar np.iavail.

A faculty member for many years in the local high school, Miss Taylor has taught French, headed the language department and directed the language laboratory, in addition to counseling duties. A good part of the year ahead will be spent with publishers, attending foreign language meetings throughout the country and visiting university libraries for needed material. The results of her work will be brought into the local school system in the fall of 1967 to better aid language students. One of her major endeavors will be the revision of a book she h;id published several years ago. It is a vocabulary building work book series based on puzzles, word games and other devices aimed at increasing classroom interest. Other work will deal with work on film strips and transparencies accumulated during her travels in Europe, around which she will develop conversations for class use. Her entire year's leave will be devoted to keeping abreast of the newest developments in the language field, particularly in French and Spanish.

While AFS chapters assume the cost for the student, when possible, Lynn's trip and year of study will be financed by her family.

MEMORABLE TRIP IS CONCLUDED FOR LOCAL 'TRAVELERS Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Useman and Mrs. Charles Vycital recently returned from a trip to the west coast covering 7,000 miles. They expected to view the wonders of nature, which they did, but they forgot the other side of the coin. They also saw the devastation at Topeka, where a tornado had unleashed its fury. They were caught in a Kansas hail storm. The windshield was shattered and the body of the car was severely dented. At Los Angeles they felt earthquake tremors. Nature was not all beauty. Several days were spent at Colorado Springs with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Useman, Jr. The young folks made this stay most enjoyable for their guests by I planning jaunts to the Air Fbrce Academy, the Garden of the Gods, the top of Cheyenne Mountain, the Royal Gorge and Manitou Springs. Enroute to Mesa Verde National park, the threesome used the Million Dollar highway to Ouray which has been cut through precipitous rocks and is one of the most scenic sections of Colorado. Mesa Verde National park contains the best preserved cliff dweller Indian ruins in the southwest. Next on the agenda were Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. From several outlooks along the rim there were sweeping views of the Painted Desert. The valley floor of Pet rified Forest was littered with great masses of log sections. In time more and more of the logs will be exposed by^erosion. These wonders were surpassed by the spectacle of the gigantic chasm of the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Those who have seen this illustration of erosion know that it defies description. After a weekend in Sun City with friends, the Mohave Desert was crossed, the busy, busy freeways were used to get to Los Angeles and Van Nuys, where the group stayed with Mr. Useman's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Weeks. The famed San Fernando Mission was visited. The mission is one of the chain of twenty-one missions along the famous mission trail, El Camino Real. To reach San Francisco the winding route along sheer coastal cliffs afforded spectacular views of the Pacific ocean. A visitation to the Hearst San Simeon Monument was made, w h e r e t h e o u t s t a n d i n g a r t treasures of Mr. Hearst are housed. Carmel, with its unusual shops, gallaries and exhibits, was a delightful spot. At San Francisco, Charles Vycital joined the group along with some 80,000 Shriners. Sharing the facilities of the city with them posed a few problems. The stay was shortened but they did manage to ste Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Cliff House, Chinatown, Nob Hill and the interesting cable cars.
