,-AGE 8 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20,1975 AFS STUDENT VISITS CITY (Continued From Page 1) When she returns, she will enter pre-university school for two years, followed by' four years of university. Primary school in Malaysia extends for six years, followed by five years of secondary school. $udha attends an English medium school, which is a matter of choice by the parents. Al) classes are taught in English except the Malaysian language. Some Peace corps personnel are utilized in these schools to assist students in learning more about this Englisn speaking country. Malaysia is a crowded country of about 11 million people. Its major industries are tin mining and rubber plan­ tations. These areas have a particularly high density of population and the large in­ dustries are usually operated by big companies from Europe. Sudha's father is a senior health inspector for the government. The official religion of the country is Islam. The Paramen family worships in the Hindu Tjgpple on Friday . and sometimes go there for in­ dividual prayer. Sudha ex­ plains that her people worship several gods. They believe in one God, but believe that He comes in different forms to do different things. Traditional diets are enjoyed by each nationality, according to the vivacious young visiting student. Their Indian diet consists chiefly of vegetables, with some chicken. No beef is eaten since the cow is regarded as sacred. In spite of the differences of the people residing in the small country, each nationality celebrates the special holidays of the others. Sudha attended a public school, but this, too, she says, is a matter of choice. Students remain in one room the entire day, and each class consists of about forty. She admits that while in recent years, teachers' have allowed more freedom, there remains a distinction between teacher and student, with the former well in control. Only occasionally, she relates, is there a violation of discipline so serious that it calls for "public caning". The headmaster of the school calls for an assembly in the school hall, where he ad­ ministers the punishment. Usually, she observes, this is only a few good swats that are not so much painful as serving NEW OWNERS AT THE GREEN PEARL 3425 PEARL ST.

The school day starts at 7:20 and continues until 1:20, after which there are usually meetings of different clubs and societies in connection with school work. There are few social gatherings arranged by the school except at the end of the year. However, family gatherings in the evening are numerous. Since 18 is the minimum driving age, there is little problem among students. Mini­ buses are used to transport students to schools, most of which ,are far from their homes. Dating is uncommon in high school, Sudha observes. "Some marriages are arranged by families, others are for love", she added. She cited 24 as an average age to marry. Marriages between the races do take place, but in this one area she admitted that some families express opposition. Sudha's biggest surprise on arrival was in finding more grass in McHenry than she had expected. Coming from a climate ideal for uninterrupted plant growth, she had expected more highways and sidewalks in the United States. Her one desire during the year ahead is to meet with as many people as possible and see how they live. The very intelligent teen-ager is especially anxious to learn their views on a variety of topics. Although she modestly claims to be only an average student, Sudha was one of only thirty out of 500 applicants to be accepted as AFS students this year from her native country. The young visitor will be residing with the Warren Krebs family at 2105 W. Country, Eastwood. Manor. Although the Krebs family has five members, she will be spending the year, for the most part, with only the parents. Barbara, who spent the 1974-75 year in Brazil as an AFS student, will go to the University of Illinois very soon. Lynn, who is presently visiting the Swiss family with whom she lived for a year as an AFS student in 1966-67, will return to her teaching duties at Visitation high school, Chicago. The Krebs' only son, Phil is a graduate student at DeKalb. CRASHES CAUSE DEATH, INJURY (Continued From Page 1) of Route 31 and Route 12, south of Richmond. John D. Truesdale of Route 1, Whitewater, Wis., told deputies he neglected to see the stop sign at the intersection. As he proceeded through, he hit the south-bound Kujawa auto.

Kloeckner told deputies he was turning onto Ringwood road from McCullom Lake road when his car hit gravel on the shoulder of the road, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The car hit a fence and tree before coming to a stop. A three-car collision at the corner of Waukegan and Borden Saturday afternoon resulted in a ticket for failure to yield turning left being issued to Danny D. Mercado of 5305 Orchard drive, McHenry.

Driver of the car, Immanuel Macaluso of 3015 W. Route 120, McHenry, told police he was east-bound on Elm when the traffic light changed. He tried to stop but his car slid on the wet pavement and hit the bicyclist who was making a left turn from Riverside drive to Elm. No tickets were issued. Herman Phillips of 3706 W. James. McHenry, was taken to McHenry hospital for slight injuries received when his c^r hit the front of a brick buildiftg at 3706 W. James.

McFadden.1 Finding adventures in daily happenings In this day and age a personal letter can be an experience for a child, feels Grace M. Stanistreet of Adelphi University's Chil­ dren's Centre. It is a way of reaching him, because he is impress­ ed with the Importance of receiving mail, because it can be re-read and shared, and it can be saved. A letter can say things that might be difficult to say face to face. For example, some people feel awkward in saying, "I love you," but they can write it with ease. And some are equally awkward in re­ ceiving such a statement face to face. Have you had the experi­ ence of saying to a child, "What happened to you to­ day?" and receiving the an­ swer, "Nothing!"? There was a book published, "Nothing Ever Happens on Our Street," and it caused Dr. Stanistreet to think of what a happening is. For lots of people noth­ ing ever happens. Why? Be­ cause fire engines go by and they don't see or hear them . . . sea gulls fly overhead and they don't look up. To have something hap­ pen you have to have your eyes and ears open so they can see and hear. It would be fun one day to count how many things do happen to you. There is a book about a boy who says, "Nothing ever happens to me." He sits on his front steps -- a parade goes by, a wedding, a funer­ al, children looking for a lost dog, a mother looking BUILT FOR TWO...Tom Ferraro of Greenwich, Conn.,, gets plenty of stares when he rides his motorcycle from the rear seat. Operator of an auto driving school, Ferraro devised and constructed the dual control system to teach people to safely operate motorcycles. • > ; Reading aloud extra fun when kids act out roles Reading aloud to children is a special treat for most of them. For very young children, choose a simple poem, and try letting them guess the rhyming words. When choosing a story, select one that you will find as enjoyable as your listen­ ers. If you are reading to a group of children whose ages vary by several years, select material appropriate for the oldest in the group. The younger the child is, of course, the shorter his attention span. After read­ ing a brief episode, you might have your audience act it out if it seems suitable for role playing, or have them guess at what might happen next in the story. Boys as a rule are not much interested in stories involving the adventures of the opposite sex. Girls, on the other hand, don't seem to mind stories about boys, but rather find them some­ what intriguing. There have always been, and hopefully always will be, those very special books that have meaning for per­ sons of all ages: books that can be read on a multitude of levels and are appropri­ ate for both children and adults. It's an adventure worth sharing. for a lost child. But he sees none of them because he's busy being sorry for him­ self. Nothing ever happens to him! So you have to be ready -- to have something hap­ pen to you. Too often children think of happenings as only those important things about them, like having tonsils out, going on a plane, to the circus, or a big baseball game, or a picnic. These are important, and sometimes great, but they can't have these every day. Happenings go on about every one of us all the time, but we have to notice them and take part in them if we want anything to happen. One day notice and count all the happenings about you. It's fun! Do try it some­ time. Let's turn out the lights and learn photography MARENGO PACKING iiiV-- FRONT QUARTER SIDE OF BEEF CUT 8 1 *LB CUT 89V FULLY FULLY HIND QUARTER CUT FULLY LBy1 MARBNGO, ILL All of us are magicians at heart -- we love to create something out of nothing or change what we see into something new and excit­ ing. In the fascinating world of the photo darkroom, you ' can literally create a world in your own image without ever leaving your lab. There is no mystery about the darkroom. If you can tell time and read a ther­ mometer, you can perform the magic of turning a blank roll of film into pic­ tures. The first step is to devel­ op the film to get a nega­ tive. All you need is a small tank for film developing, such as the stainless steel Kindermann, a thermom­ eter, a watch or clock with sweep-second hand, a cou­ ple of clothespins and chemicals available at any camera shop . . . developer, short stop and fixer. In total darkness, attach the film to a spiral reel, in­ sert the reel in the film tank and replace the tank's light-tight cover. Film is processed in or­ dinary room light by pour­ ing chemicals in and out of the tank through a drain in the cover. The instruc­ tion sheet tells you how HOSPITAL NOTES' MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Admittances to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, included Donna Brown, McHenry; Brent Smith, Marie Eberle, Delores Flynn, Robert Engels, Wonder Lake. HARVARD HOSPITAL Marco Cellitti, McHenry, was a recent patient in Harvard hospital. long to develop the film. Pour developer into the tan*. At prescribed inter­ vals, the tank is twisted back and forth, circulating fresh developer across the film surface. At the end of the devel­ opment period -- about 10 minutes -- the developer is drained and replaced with the stop-bath rinse. Stop- bath stops development im­ mediately, thus preventing the negatives from over­ developing or becoming too dark. After some 30 seconds, the stop-bath is drained and replaced with fixer so­ lution, so-called because it fixes the image -- desensi­ tizes the emulsion so the image won't be destroyed by further exposure to light. Finally, the film is re­ moved from the tank, wash­ ed in running water to re­ move chemicals, and hung up to dry. Excellent prints can be made from your first nega­ tives with a moderately- priced enlarger such as the Durst F30 which easily comes apart for compact storage in a closet. . Although an enlarger may seem an awesome sight, it's essentially just a camera in reverse: instead of taking a picture by focus­ ing a camera's subject on film, an enlarger takes a picture by projecting your film on a sheet of print paper. The light-sensitive paper records the negative's im­ age in the same way that film records the image of the original subject. Too, prints are processed in much the same way as film. The paper is bathed in three print trays con­ taining developer, stop-bath and fixer, respectively. Unlike film, however, the paper needn't be kept in total darkness: all printing procedures are carried out unfier amber-colored "safe- lights." It is a unique thrill to watch a sheet of blank white paper magically form faint lines as it bathes in developer. The image seems to sketch itself, as though an invisible artist were out­ lining a painting before fill­ ing in the details. Tension mounts as the image emerges; details bud, grow and intensify before your eyes; the picture comes to life after just 90 seconds in the developer. As little as seven minutes later, your first print is fully processed and ready to dry. Ask your photo dealer about specially priced dark­ room kits containing every­ thing you need to get start­ ed. For example, Durst offers a basic darkroom kit cost­ ing only about $50 when purchased as a package with one of their enlargers. It includes a film tank and reel, a squeegee for wiping films, film clips, a safelight, filters for varying print contrast, 8 x 10 print trays, an enlarger easel to hold the print paper in place under the lens and form borders, a graduate for mixing, measuring and pouring chemicals, plus print tongs, a thermometer, stirring rod, enlarger cover, blotter book for drying prints, enlarger lamp, red safelight filter for focusing on print paper and "The Durst How-to Book of Black & White and Color Enlarging." \ mc fienry CALL AND ASK ABOUT OUR NEW CUSTOMER PROGRAM
