RkGE U-MAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1972 Career Day At High Schools Miss Janet Stemmer, representing an Indianapolis, Ind., school of beauty culture, talks before an interested group of students on Career day at MCHS. Many occupations were included in the program designed to allow young people of high school age an opportunity to learn more about careers in which they have expressed a preference. PLAINDEALER PHOTO 7 McHenry high schools transferred their schedule from academics to occupations as the MCHS staff turned their classrooms over to representatives of thirty-eight career areas one day recently. It was the school's first all-day career program planned to bring students in contact with people directly involved with occupational areas. The direct aim of Career Day is to provide an opportunity for students to be exposed to a variety of career areas so that they can realistically evaluate their interests and strengths as they plan for the future. Comments from the student body, such as "Career Day made me think about what I want to be...", "I learned what r e q u i r e m e n t s a n d qualifications are needed for different fields...", "It changed some of my ideas on what a career is...", indicate the representatives did an out­ standing job of meeting this goal In planning Career Day, the greatest need was for resource people to represent the career areas. The response from the community was most im­ pressive. Sixty speakers volunteered to share their training and experience with the students. Many have also offered to be continuing resource people so that students have a contact in the community who can help them actually see the operational aspects of an occupation. Ticket Drivers Following Two City Accidents George V. Sorenson of 4009 Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, was cited by city police for failure to yield right of way following a two-car accident at the intersection of Crystal Lake road and Route 120. Driver of the other auto, George A. Kalsch of 4208 Crystal Lake road, McHenry, said he was making a left turn onto Crystal Lake road when the Sorenson car made a left turn and struck his car. Sorenson stated he was stopped at the sign. He thought traffic was clear when he started to make his left turn. Ronald E. Glosson of 3007 Emily lane, McHenry, was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after a two-car accident at the corner of Elm and Richmond road. .- Catherine E. Race of 1002 Laguna drive, McHenry, told city police she was east-bound on Elm street and was stopped at Richmond road waiting for the light to change when she looked in her rear view mirror and saw the Glosson auto coming up behind her. She tried to pull into the other lane but was struck. The first known adhesive postal stamp was issued May 1, 1840, in Great Britain, cost a penny, and carried a picture of Queen Victoria. TELEVISION COMMENTARY REDD FOXX and Desmond Wilson go together like spigot and sink on "Sanford and Son." Although the characters in the show deal in Junk, the show itself is s p i c a n d s p a n , c a d a l l i c country. It is jolly good fun w e d d e d t o a m e s s a g e .

RICKY NELSON from "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," which ran out of string some six years ago, has now arrived on the over the-hill side of the genera­ tion gap. He is one year past t h e 3 0 l i m i t -- s e t b y t h o s e on the other side of the gap --married, and has two chil­ dren. He was seen recently on ABC's "Owen Marshall" as an accused rapist.

Some segments are much better than others. Re­ cently, for example, the show featured films of the private life of FDR. The good segments are well worth the time invested in viewing. The less good por­ tions pay dividends if one uses the time for a cat nap. IF BYGONE DAYS are indeed the good old days, then those golden days of yore may be visited daily. One need only tune in to his local TV station during the time slot taken from net­ works by the late FCC ruling. Reruns and oldies are seen in such profusion that one either basks in by­ gone days or becomes quite confused, thinking the mid­ dle of summertime TV is here while frost is yet on the pumpkin. DIRTY HARRY Clint Eastwood, the es­ tablished hero-type actor, stars in "Dirty Harry" as a plainclothesman in San Fran­ cisco. Early it 's revealed he in­ herits the name "Dirty" not because of shady tactics in his job but rather from the dirt and ugliness of the city he so proudly defends. His image is one of a dashing knight performing his many duties professionally--al­ ways aiming at perfection. The story concerns Killer (Andy Robinson), a skilled sniper, who lives a life of crime using his skill to mur­ der many innocent people. Others play important parts in various episodes. One, a suicide-jump attempt on a high building, another in a bank robbery and the many other situations that show the ugly side of a city--es­ pecially Dirty Harry's San Francisco.

Plan For Red Cross Drive During last year, the county Red Cross office handled 242 active servicemen cases and fifty-one veterans, which in­ volved many telephone calls, many of them overseas, plus local hardship cases. They have as volunteers 100 certified water safety instructors who issued 1,801 certificates, twenty-five first aid instructors who issued 550 certificates, and seventeen Gray Ladies who gave much of their time visiting Army, Navy and county hospitals. Volunteer workers are a vital part of the Red Cross organization and the local office is in need of more volunteers. Are You New IN McHenry Area ? Do You Know Someone New?
