Richard Wittig, who will attend the University of Wisconsin, Parkside. The University of Wisconsin. Parkside, has accepted for transfer all sixty-two semester hours earned at McHenry County college by Richard Wittig Dick Wittig. a Psychology and Business Management major at MCC. jtjst graduated this January with \p Associate in Science degree He will return on June 4 to participate in commencement exercises Graduating with a record of all A s. except for two B's, reprerents quite a feat for iVittig He accomplished this while attending MCC and working full time as purchasing manager of an organization in Chicago. In addition to the full- time job. he is married and has two children He says, "1 probably could not have gone to college if MCC had not been here And it is on the basis of my grades at MCC that I was accepted by the University of Wisconsin. I did not have a good scholastic record in high school " Regarding a community's need for higher education, Dick said, "People in this county don't realize they'll be paying for a college somewhere else, whether or not we have one here As for financing, there's plenty of financial aid available to help students through college It's just a matter of making the necessary effort to obtain it." Too much celebrating keeps one from being celebrated. / MAY AFFECT OTHER LAWS Terming the Illinois Supreme Court's decision on legislation to provide aid to private and parochial schools "a disap­ pointing setback in our efforts to improve educational op­ portunities for all school-age children in Illinois," Gov. Richard B Ogilvie said it may affect other laws passed last year, such as the workmen's compensation benefits. "The decision," he continued, "appears to rest on a narrow and limited point -- that the court should not exercise its mandamus power now because the bills do not become ef­ fective until next July. We will have to examine carefully all those bills which might be subjected to a dispute over their effective dates." FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 21, 1932) Mr. and Mrs. C.W.

The Methodist church of McHenry is putting on a loyalty campaign in which all mem­ bers, friends and former at­ tendants of the church are being invited to attend its services to take an active in­ terest in its welfare and to assist in increasing the at­ tendance, thus putting the church upon a firmer and more efficient basis.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 23, 1947) After approximately seventy years the Circuit Court of McHenry county is being remodeled into a very modern structure. Workmen have been busy for some time now tearing down the old, in preparation for installing new equipment. The Plaindealer has long been proud of the success of its classified ad section which has been due in part to the shortage of many items today. We can even remember the time during the war when one ad­ vertiser in this vicinity sold his canary to a party residing many miles across^ the Wisconsin border. Among the latest to tell us of his success through our ads is Harvey B. Williams, whose small classified ad resulted in a sale reaching into the thousands. His recently completed G.I. home went to the first inquirer and Mr. Williams is confident of similar success with future homes which are now under construction. George V. James, former resident of Elmwood Park who is now living at Wonder Lake, retired on a pension from C o m m o n w e a l t h E d i s o n Company Jan. 16.
