PQ. 4- PLAINDEALER^W^>JUtY23, 1969 McHENRY HOSTS I 34,000 ON SUMMER FESTIVAL WEEKEND (Continued from page l) watched or participated in the proceedings. The previous night had brought throngs to the same park, where mother and dad danced to the strains of the city's stage band, while young­ er family members set their feet -- and bodies -- in move­ ment to the pulsatory tempo of a teen-age musical aggre­ gation. Saturday's Sidewalk Sale brought to city streets a throng of eager shoppers who took ad* vantage of the outstanding sales offered by local merchants, as well as special entertainment in some areas. For festival officials, Sunday was marked by activity which was demanding on energy but rewarding in the success of the day's events. After a late ar­ rival at CP Hare field, Miss Judy ford (Miss America) was brought to McHenry's Country club by car for a quick lunch­ eon, a brief press interview and then the colorful afternoon parade. Many who lined the long route remarked that the 1969 parade was the best produced in this community since the be- ' ginning of the summer festival. "Sensational" was the des­ cription of those who witnessed the thrilling water ski show at the beach area following the parade. Miss America and her family watched proceedings from the lawn of the Anthony Varese residence, which gave them an ideal vantage point for the daring acts of the skiers. A tired but happy group of participants and viewers ^like made their way to McCracken field in the evening for a three- hour performance marked by precision and talent as one drum and bugle corps after an­ other marched .onto the field for a period of commanding maneuvers and music closely watched by judges expert in their particular line. At the conclusion of the eve­ ning affair, when the Chicago Cavaliers were once again pro­ claimed top corps, other awards were also made for events lead­ ing up to the final program. They were as follows: Store Winners: Gay-BullBut­ cher shop, first; Vycital's Hardware, second; and Gene- t vievfe's, third. Parade Floats: Originality - Beauty Bazaar, first; Green Street, second; and Jewel Tea- Osco, third; beauty - Miss America (city of McHenry), first; Miss Marine Day (Will­ iam Tonyan Construction) sec­ ond; and Miss Blossom Time (Brake Parts) third; comical - 7 Moose Lodge, first; Wonder Lake Squares, second; and Cer­ ebral Palsy, third. The Liberty Belles of Racine won top rating among color guards, and another Racine unit, the Regals, placed second. Among baton twirling units, the Whirlettes were judged in first place, followed by the Y O U N G P E R U G I R L T O J O I N L O C A L F A M I L Y (Continued from page 1) William Lingenfelters, at 3615 W.

Ena has completed four years of secondary school, but the educational experience she receives in McHenry will not meet the requirements of her country. Upon returning to Peru, she must complete her fifth year. To date, she has studied English only four years. After completion of her secondary schooling, she hopes to enter* the field of public re­ lations and journalism. Ena's hobbies include phil­ ately (stamps) and numismat­ ics (coins) which she pursues through correspondence with pen pals. Other leisure time pursuits are volleyball and bas­ ketball. She terms fencing " fan­ tastic". In Peru, Ena is founder and leader of the John F. Kennedy youth club, the, motto of which is "Unity is Strength". Its con­ cern is the social and cultur­ al problems and understanding of juveniles, not only in the members' own community but throughout the world. Although it is not a school-affiliated group, the club has full support of the educational institution and parents.

Also on July 19, two other plate glass windows were broken at the B&E Drive Inn, 7402 Hancock drive, Wonder Lake. The two windows, one measuring 6x6 feet and the other measuring 6 'feet by 6 feet 3 inches, were located on the front and west sides of the building. Both windows were apparently broken with stones. FATAL CRASH AMONG AREA .ACCIDENTS (Continued from page 1) of Stock's vehicle. A third car, driven by Chau Lee, 1229 Ohio, Lawrence, Kansas, received minor front end damage from the colliding cars. Only Lee escaped injury. First aid was given, by the Northwest ambulance service, which also took the injured to the hospital. Stock was charged with fail­ ure to yield at a stop inter­ section by McHenry county sheriffs deputies. On July 20, Julius Schiesl, 8147 S. Talman, Chicago, struck a car driven by John H. Mor­ ris, 5010 W. Parkview drive, McHenry. As Morris turned in­ to a driveway at 1705 Rich­ mond road, Schiesl pulled his car out into the opposite lane to pass him and struck the left side of Morris' car. Al­ though he saw the brake lights shine when Morris slowed down, the Chicago man claims he did not see the directional sig­ nals flash wnen Morris turn­ ed. A Wonder Lake man, Ray Schleicher, 7320 E. Northwood drive, had charges lodged against him by McHenry county sheriff's deputies after a mi­ nor accident on July 20.

Parker, 4108E,Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. According to Schleicher, the brakes of his car failed and he was unable to avoid bump­ ing the rear end of the slow- moving trailer. He was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. An unidentified car struck a car owned by Alan X. White, 807 N. River road, McHenry, while he was parked across from 3416 Skyway drive, Mc­ Henry, on July 18. White had been working on a house un­ der construction and left the scene for a cup of coffee. When he returned, he found his car damaged. A witness claimed to have heard the noise of the collis­ ion. Startled, the witness look­ ed toward the scene and saw a woman in a red car backing off from White's auto and dri­ ving into the house at 3416 Skyway drive. After nearly five minutes, the woman left the house. Another slight accident oc­ curred at the driveway of Car­ ol Wilson, 2602 S. Holiday drive, McHenry. Mrs. Wilson struck a car driven by Phyllis Emery, Rt. 1, Wauconda.

We're sure not many of us have the energy to undergo the rigors of more than one Mar­ ine Festival a year, which is probably why that one particu­ lar day is so special, all made possible by the tireless efforts of Very Important People. Grandma Radtke called Fri­ day afternoon to report an ac­ cumulation of 5 3/8 inches of rain as a result of Thursday night* s rain at McCullom Lake.
