A Tribute To Wbmen "Many families in McHenry have received a fully cooked hot meal as a welcome to the community, or a comfort in time of neec|." "She finds the time to bring cheer and comfort to a person who is ill." "She is a very warm, charming, family- oriented person". For these and many other reasons, as stated by her friends, Mae Marty Stinespring was awarded the Woman of the Year honor of the McHenry Business and Professional Women's club Monday night. The recognition came to Mrs. Stinespring, a long time resident of the community, at the tenth anniversary dinner meeting of the club, held at Raymond's restaurant, Johnsburg, attended by about 75 members and guests. For the past 30 years Mrs. Stinespring has been -and remains today-engaged in philanthropic work in her home community and throughout the county. Mae Stinespring, a talented book reviewer whose fee has always been a donation to any charity, is a former school teacher. She served as the McHenry hospital auxiliary's first president, secretary to the Mental Health auxiliary, and has worked with the B.P.W. in sponsoring "no smoking" clinics. She is a charter member and first president of Church Women United, which has touched' many lives, and was instrumental in organizing the Clothes Closet in Woodstock. The new Woman of the Year also helped to organize Meals on Wheels, an organization that delivers hot meals to shut-ins. Mrs. Stinespring is co-founder of the McHenry chapter of T.H.E.O.S. (To Help Each Other Smile) an organization of widows and widowers. She is also active with the /League of Women Voters in McHenry'and Woodstock.

Her church has always been among her chief interests and she has served as president of the United Methodist Women and as chairman of Missions and Ecumenical committee. Her latest endeavor, which has brought forth the same enthusiasm so characteristic of Mae Stinespring, is her work as lay leader for the Elgin district of the Northern Illinois conference for the United Methodist church, which encompasses about 63 churches. It is unusual for a woman to receive the opportunity to hold this high position. Presentation of her award was made by Dorothy Haddick, who gave her a bouquet (Continued on page 22) Halt Drug Seller The McHenry Police halted a drug seller at Wonder Lake last Friday and may be called upon to locate a McHenry man, described as a convicted felon, if a Chicago criminal case is pursued further.

Pilat's partner in a "home for alcoholics and wayward menv was recently arrested in Chicago on charges of grand theft and contributing to the sexual delinquency of a child The arrested partner, Howard Fris, reportedly has been running St. Teresa's Manor on Dearborn street, which treats referrals. Fris described himself as a "priest". Fris is charged with using two stolen credit cards to buy $2,500 in merchandise as well as for sexual delinquency. Last Saturday, Sheriff's police responded to a report of two men being confronted by another man with an automatic pistol. When the police arrived, James Carroll, 31, of Wonder Lake, appeared from beside his house pointing and threatening with the pistol." The police talked Carroll into dropping the gun and, with some difficulty, took him into custody. Carroll was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault, resisting a peace officer and reckless driving. Bond was set at $4,000. The two men who had been confronted, Patrick Curren and Paul Crawford, both of Wonder Lake, had seen Carroll driving recklessly ~ forcing people off the road and not allowing others to pass -- and followed Carroll to his home. The police were called when Carroll brought out the gun which was a pellet gun replica of a .45 caliber automatic pistol.

For Life Safety The board of education of High School District 156 ap­ proved a $209,639 addendum to •vthe current Life-Safety im­ provement for the East campus building this past week. The amendment will now be sub­ mitted to the Illinois Office of Education for approval. The new figure is in addition to the $2,035,000 authorized by I.O.E. earlier in the year for upgrading the East building. Superintendent Robert Swartzloff explained that the addition was needed because the basic low bid was over the authorized amount of/the bond sale and more money was needed foTHhe architect 's and engineering fees and a con­ struction contingency fund of 5 percent. Swartzloff noted that it was not uncommon to come in with added amounts. The bonds to cover this amount will be sold with the West campus and McCracken field improvement project bonds. The board also approved the superintendent's recom­ mendation for an agreement with the architectural firm of O'Donnell, Wicklund and Pigozzi "lo engage in a building project involving West campus high school" for Life-Safety work at a rate of 10" ^ percent of the project costs, approved by IOE at an estimate of $545,229. Swartzloff said the rate dif- ferred from the East campus agreement by 1 percent because the amount was smaller. The architects would not agree to the same rate on both projects, but insisted on using their sliding scale based on the size of the expenditure, he reported. After a report by member David Benrud, the board en­ tered a vote to suspend the McHenry County Area Career center joint agreement meetings and distribute the remaining funds. Benrud said that representatives present for five of the nine-member districts of the Control board concluded that the current economic situation was not (Continued on paije 22) New Feature Revitalizing Downtown (a place in print where the aging can get answers) ten Newspaperman Carl k Jr. was a boy of 10 in lonsin he observed the [-grandfather of a neigh- ' )d pal being helped into a horsedrawn carriage headed for ;an Independence day parade of Civil War veterans.

The non-heroic acts which have aroused some residents of Dutch Creek Woodlands, focus on something that smacks of poor sportsmanship even though it appears to be legal. The questionable behavior of some hunters came to light on opening day of duck hunting when these eager marksmen proceeded out in their boats, in a growing residential area,, to show they could find the mark. Riding to what one resident described as "between 6 and 10 feet of Jheir target", they aimed at the tame ducks and with one shot made the conquest.

Knoll avenue, McHenry, he flew from Rockford to Palwaukee airport on. instruments last Thursday and made an emergency in­ strument landing. The young McHenry man was piloting Anthony Martin- Trigona of Chicago, who had just launched his Senate campaign and was on a whirlwind statewide tour to announce his candidacy.
