Miss Sultana said 90 per cent of her country is illiterate, and they are extremely superstitious. However, the heavens have never revealed any flying saucers, or if they have, the natives were unaware that this was the name currently popular to describe bright objects overhead. Eat Four Meals It was difficult to believe, as one looked at the tiny, 85- pound girl, that four meals were h daily average in Pakistan. Tea time occurs about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the supper hour is about 9 r-ni. Miss Sultana has developed definite ideas about Americans in her short stay here. She believes they don't understand their fellowman. She added that much of the rushing around seems to be for very little purpose, and expressed her own observation that business in the country is a matter of "pushing," with little consideration for others. Another observation may well be disputed in some quarters. but she also maintains that the United States often sends third raters to its diplomatic corps, and indicated her more favorable opinion of persons she has met since her arrival. Miss Sultana originally participated in the scholarship j-ontest with sixty others, after which the competition was reduced to four, and then to the eventual winner. This year alone, students are studying in thirty-five countries of the world under Rolary sponsorship. A total of S350.000 in fellowships have been made available.

Oct. 9, the sec- t ion officer, Bert Roomer, During this --National Fire Prevention Week --a few probably remember their own fears when they were the victims of uncontrolled flames. For the great majority of us, however, who have been fortunate enough to have escaped such fears thus far, our thoughts probably turn to the most recent and most tragic schoo1 fire which destroyed almost a hundred lives in Chicago. Yet statistics tell us that there have been actually onlyfive fatal school fires since 1935 in this country. Even so. 76,100 school fires have been reported during these years, and there is no denying that any number of these could have produced casualties. Actually, the 821 lives lost from 1900 to 1958 in school fires in the U. S. and Canada represent only 1.400 of 1 per cent of the estimated 34,000.- 000 public school enrollment in 1958 alone. inrt group, which, will meet every second and fourth Monday evenings in the high school, enthusiastically discussed Plato's "Apology and Cn'to," Sophocles "Antigone", the next reading for discussion, will be led by Mrs. R.

He added that he would be available to speak before any Mc- RISK IN BIG GOVERNMENT IS TOLD TO CLUB Cite Power As Real Threat To Personal Freedom The big risk in big government is that the effectiveness of our state and local governments will be lost and with them the rights to freedom of the people. This was the subject of a talk given by James M. Wetzel, Deerfield lawyer, to the McHenry Kiwanis at the club's meeting on Mondav Oct. 9. Wetzel, who spoke, on the subject "Federalism - Are The States Outmoded?" attacked the evils of big government. He charged that this bigness in federal government wias assuming and widening its powers to include those which were originally intended for the people of our country. The drafters of our national Constitution built our governments on the principle of division of powers for the purpose of preventing any single person or group of persons from accumulating vast powers that could be used to destroy the personal freedoms. Causes of Power There have been two causes in our history that have led to this development of big government, Mr. Wetzel continued. The first was the outcome of the Civil War and the 14th Amendment which settled the question that our state governments did not have more power than the federal government. The second cause has been a gradual event brought about by the national emergencies of recent years which have caused our federal government to assume rights and duties which had previously been reserved to state and local governments and to the people. Americans have gotten use to the idea of the federal government regulating their lives and raise no objection to tho <:overnment taking further steps in this direction. Wetzel challenged, "Some people say, 'So what if it's true'." To this Wetzel responded, "Just as certainly as our federal government gets bigger and jus' as certainly as our state ai;.l local governments vanish, so also our personal liberties will vanish with them. CHARGED WITH THEFT Sheriff's deputies this week found Clyde King, 47, of Rochester, Minn., working on the Art Hoppe farm, west of McHenry, and arrested him for larceny. He is charged wilh taking electric drills and other tools from a machine shed on the August and George Zarndt farm near Union. The tools were found in King's car.

In the short time the curfew regulation has been in effect, forbidding those under the age of 17 from loitering on the streets or in public placid after 11 in the evening, adherence to it has been gratifying. In his talk, the mayor emphasized the fact that the law was made primarily for Ihe protection of those whom he was addressing, as well as for the welfare of the community in which they live. K. A.

TWO COURSES OFFERED ADULTS IN NEW PROGRAM Response to the recent offer of the McHenry high school board of education to provide evening adult classes in those courses in which ten or more persons showed an interest, has resulted in the start of two this week. On Wednesday evening, Oct. 11, courses began in both sewing and beginning typing. Classes meet from 7:30 to 9:30 tor a ten-week period, at a minimum charge to provide a service which has been requested by many. Registration for the various classes closed this week. A course in Spanish was the next most popular to the two offered, but lacked the ten necessary to start a class. SENATOR SPEAKS TO LARGE COUNTY AUDIENCE OCT. 6 The McHenry County Citiz e n s ' I n f o r m a t i o n c e n t e r w a s honored to present Senator Strom Thurmond (D), South Carolina, at a luncheon Friday, Oct. 6, at the Woodstock Country club. Following the invo cation, Mrs. Carl Zeiss welcomed the honored guests and presented General Wilbur. General Wilbur (retired), who has recently returned from an extensive tour of Germany, Russia, Poland and other satellite countries, introduced Senator Thurmond. Senator Thurmond's career began as a teacher and progressed to superintendent. He is a veteran, and has served in all /branches of the South Carolina government. Senator Thurmond maintains that it is both our right and duty to know our enemy. The senator stated, "The greatest threat is not from without, but from within. People do not understand Communism. There is a desperate need to know the enemy; 1o teach and instill patriotism." Senator Thurmond is most concerned at the advances of communism in the Western Hemisphere, and the increasing reliance of the United StiPtes on the United Nations as an arbiter of differences. He feels that we should announce our firm intention to unseat the communist satellite in Cuba, and protect South America countries frim formation of world-communist governments. If Outer Mongolia and Red China should be admitted to the UN, he would favor our withdrawal; and for m a t i o n, perhaps, of a group of nations truly dedicated to the pursuit of peace. These remarks were met by standing ovations. The Senator was unable to remain for a questioning period from the audience, as he was appearing that evening in Indianapolis, Ind. General Wilbur told the audience of his recent travels abroad, and spoke of the zeal with which the Russians are educating their chil- .3antadu 3 DAY NURSERY COMPLETE CHILD CARE For Children of forking Mothers Or While You (!»o Shopping N • 6 Acres of Playground with Slides, Swing, Merry- Go-ROund, etc. • Chickens, Duck, Pheasants and Lambs for the Kids to Feed and Play With • Story Telling, Reading and Inside Play • Hot Meals -- Morning and Afternoon Snacks • Napping Facilities • An Opportunity for Your Child to Play with and Get Along with Others.

TWO FIRES CAUSE DAMAGE AT LAKE EARLY THIS WEEK Two fires at Wonder Lake in recent days required the attention of the fire department in that community, and both resulted in damage. The first occurred about 5:30 Sunday afternoon in front of the Lake View Ice Cream parlor, where Sam Bruscato had just driven up on his motorcycle. It backfired, and as the driver dropped it, gasoline apparently spilled and started a fire. The store proprietor, "Robert Parker, hurried to the scene with a hand extinguisher, hut it was not large enough 6> put out the fire. The motorcycle was destroyed. About 6:30 the following morning, a short circuit in a ceiling electrical fixture caused flames at the Edward Kostal home at Lookout Point. There was srnoke damage, and the ^entire ceiling was damaged by fire.
