0 THE "Vw PLAINDEALER The Chain-O-Lakes Region 1875" ume 88 -- No. 19 -- 3 Sections McHENRY. ILLINOIS. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1962 f *§- .. - v • -TV seems to be here to stay, in spite of the constant complaining about programs offered and the contention that "tfie set in my home is rarely turned on." The old song has had its title changed to "Be It Ever So Humble, There's No Place Like Home With Television". •The industry is compara- (0iv&ly new, but in a fast moving world there are changes ahead. Only recently a new pay TV experiment was launched in the East in a metropolitan area, initiating a three-year test conducted on an ultrahigh frequency TV station with about 300 subscribers on hand. That number was expected to jump to more than 4,000 by viie end of 1962. A $10 charge is made by viewers subscribing to the pl&ri for a decoder, a device to keep everyone from tuning in free. In addition, there is a cost of seventy-five cents a month for rental of equipment plus the price of the various programs. Most of them cost about $1, although specials will sometimes go consi d e r a b 1 y higher. A large sum of money is in tyick of the three-year project. Which will probably not result in -a profit until later years, as the number of subscribers builds up. Commercial networks of great size fought the move, of course, but there is evidence they will join into the pay-TV competition if experil^ tients work out. •It is expected to take some tirne before the viewing public will be affected, and in the meantime free television producers will need to come up with some very' special entertainment to keep their audience. However, the pay-TV producers are expected to be ab'e to out-bid the free television producers for talent. If pay-television is the winner, things may go the way of rddio, free television, movies, and other entertainment, and once again it will be the mass audience which will be pleased rather than those who make lip the minorities. - It will be interesting to watch developments in the years ahead, at the same time continue to view and S- 20 Pages -- 10c Per ..Copy Burglary Case Involves Two Unless a continuation is ordered, two Palatine youths, Jetry Laymon, 19, and Neal Little, 17, will appear before Justice of the Peace Joseph Hitter in Woodstock Thursday and face charges of burglary. Bot^u young men were arrested in Wisconsin ~"las£'week and turned over to local authorities after they reportedly admitted breaking into the Vacula Food mart in Wonder Lake late in July and taking merchandise valued at $400. Bond was set at $3,500 and the matter was continued until Sept. 20. The men were brought back to McHenry county by members of the sheriff's squad. NAME VALE ADAMS PRESIDENT HIGH SCHOOL BOARD Vale Adams was elected president of the board of education in School District 156 Tuesday evening of this week following the resignation of H. Ralph Bennett, who had served as a member since 1955 and more recently as president. Mr. Bennett has moved to Wonder Lake and is no longer a resident of the school district, necessitating his leaving the board. George P. Freund, Jr., was appointed by members of the board to fill the vacancy. He will serve until the next regular school election in April of 1963. Because of over-crowded conditions, the board approved two additional busses, which are badly needed because of an increasing enrollment (1,- 187). The present number of busses can no longer accommodate all of those requiring transportation. New MCHS Language Laboratory FIRE DESTROYS FISHING SHACKS NEAR BUSINESS The photos above show portions of the new language laboratory, the modern electronic aid to education installed recently in the McHenry high school. Language instructors say il is invaluable in teaching the hundreds who are enrolled in French and Spanish. In the first picture, Miss Peggy Georgalis. new to the M.C.H.S. faculty, is shown sitting in front of the control system of the large console. Watching operations are Supt. Carl Buckner, Mrs. Vale Adams and Miss Maurie Taylor, language instructors. The second picture shows members of one French class practicing within their individual booths. Miss Georgalis, with her earphones, may listen in on any of the practice work being done and is able to assist a particular student without interfering with the practice sessions of the remainder of the class. RED CROSS TAG DAY A tag day to benefit the Red Cross will be held in McHenry on Saturday,. Sept. 29. The special collection was made necessary because McHenry fell short about 50 per cent of its quota for 1962. It is hoped that a portion of the deficit will be made up in this way. (Continued on Page 8) ROAD-BRIDGE LEVIES ( Road and bridge levies in the amount of $449,833.20 have been filed by highway commissioners in the county. Algonquin topped the list of seventeen with a levy of $98,- 622.50, followed by McHenry with $83,448. Tempting Tidbit * >5 < * v>xv- • • -• -••SSSSk When foreign language students at the McHenry high school attended classes for the first time this fall, a new world of learning was opened to them through a very modern language laboratory, unique electronic aid installed during the summer vacation. It marks a completely new system in teaching. In the field of languages alone, the device will provide a fascinating method of learning for about 450 students in the year ahead. However, this is not the- sole use of the complicate® laboratory equipment. Many other subjects may also be taught in this manner, including history, philosophy, political science, English, geography, speech, shorthand, typing and many more. Marian Central high school is believed to be the first in the county to institute the new system, followed by Crystal Lake and Woodstock. The ninth and newest of McHenry county's high schools, Cary- Grove, is said to ,have plans for installing a similar device this year. System Varies The laboratory at M.C.H.S. is located in the old study hall of the school, which is divided into sections to provide both classroom and laboratory. ^Although the system of operation varies in the different schools, locally, regular classroom material is presented part of the period with laboratory work the other half. There are thirty individual booths in the laboratory room, twenty-four of which are equipped with earphones McHENRY AREA WOMAN INJURED IN AUTO CRASH Mrs. Azelia Schennemann of 2908 S. Benbrook, Rt. 3, McHenry, was described in satisfactory condition in Memorial hospital, Woodstock, where she was admitted early Wednesday afternoon following an auto accident. No details were available when the Plaindealer went to press. It was only known that Mrs. Schennemann's car went out of control on Barreville road, near the Petrie farm, three and a half miles south of McHenry, and as the car turned over and came to a stop upside down, Mrs. Schennemann was thrown from the auto. The sheriff's office investigated. Smoke Machine May Provide Answer To Drainage Infractions Two fishing shacks of little value were destroyed by fire about 5:45 o'clock Tuesday evening in the rear of Joseph Frett & Son Contractors, Rt. 120, east of the bridge. Some neighbors told they saw small children playing around the buildings earlier, and others indicated that oldci youths were seen near the structures just prior to detection of the fire. While the loss was small, firemen expressed concern since this was the fourth time they have been called to the same location in the last two years. Arson was suspected in almost every case, all of which resulted in considerably more damage than this week's conflagration. Hope is expressed that this time the persons responsible will be apprehended. Firemen answered two other calls during the week. On Sunday they were summoned to the MillstVeam laundromat on Elm street, where the starter on a neon Light fixture had burned out. resulting in charring on the ceiling around the light. Monday evening they were called to the intersection of Rt. 120 and Wonder Lake road, when a motorist thought her car was on fire after a freezer plug came out and the engine became overheated.

It is reasoned that roof water must be finding its way into the sanitary lines instead of The McHenry Lecture Luncheon club will hold its first meeting of the 1962-63 series on Wednesday, Sept. 26, at the McHenry Country club at moderated by Carl Buckner, superintendent of schools.

Director Leighiy Prepares Musicians For Thrilling Event The McHenry Community high school band has accepted the invitation of Northwestern university to appear in its seventh high school Band Day on the Evanston campus Saturday, Sept. 22. Under the direction of John Leighty, the band will be an important segment of the nearly 5,000 teenage musicians who will travel from sixty-one different high schools in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin to present a spectacular and colorful half-time show at the N.U. - South Carolina game in Dyche stadium. After two weeks of local preparation and rehearsal, the hand will travel by bus to Evanston on the morning of the game, where bandsmen, directors and wives, di 'vers and adult chaperones will be g.-es's ,-)f the uni"c "sity lor the entire 'iay. Day Ot Activity A full morning session will be devoted to an in tensive two-and-a-half hour massed band rehearsal of music and formations. In addition there will be special clinics for drum majors and twirlers, and a marching-playing demonstration presented for the high school students by the nationally known 160-piece Northwestern band. The half-time extravaganza will be planned around the observance of the one-hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Northwest Territory, parts of which later became the states to be represented Saturday. The pageant of massed bands will feature a variety of musical selections including both traditional and new works. Conductors will be C. B. Wilson and John .P. Paynter of the N. U. band and guest conductor, Harold Walters. There are eighty-seven members of the local school band this year.

HERDRICH EMBARKS ON LAW CAREER IN EAST Three second lieutenants, all distinguished military graduates of their colleges under the reserve officers' training program, have completed their first summer of on-the-job The McHenry stage band -training with the First U. S. group provided excellent entertainment for the people who ate in the park and for those waiting for their chickens. Toward the end of the Bar-B-Q. the band turned the picnic into a German dance-fest. ,Many drivers discovered how adept they were behind the wheel on the obstacle course conducted on Pearl street, next to the city park, set up by the McHenry Coachmen. Winner of the event was Fred Woodberrv of 2210 W. Manor Lane, "McHenry. who received a five dol'ar gift certificate.

I As many as eight channels j can be operated at one time, sending to the individual booths programs in any language, and of any type desired by a particular student. The ! laboratory gives an opportunj ity to catch up for the person i who has been absent or | learns more slovidy, a^ well as to accelerate learning for more advanced students. The fact that the growing enrollment includes an increasing number of transfer students, all at different levels of learing, makes the system particularly valuable. Other Lab Rooms There are two small rooms directly behind the large control console, the first a soundproof room for making tapes and the other designed for a work room and library storage of tapes. An added feature of the system installed in the local school is a movie and film strip machine which completed the combination audio-lingualvisual system by permitting the student to see pictures and associate them with th° language under study through conversation.
