I : ;4i 'l/JX II $ "Serving The Cbain-O-Lakes Regioa Siie« 1875" Volume 88 -- No. 20 -- 4 Sections McHENRY, ILLINOIS. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1962 Mttltff ^ One of the best indications that the end of summer has arrived is the absence of the stop sign on Riverside Drive, hear the beach. From the amount of swimming done during the cool days of June, July August, there was pi ob- ' obly little need for it at all this year. % It was a real pleasure, and /^"ertainly enlightening, to see the M.C.H.S. language laboratory in operation recently. This is indeed an advance in education, and one which has already stretched itself beyond the teaching of foreign languages to other subjects. Locally, and we understand in many high schools where this is new, the electronic aid is used at the present time Exclusively for language study and in this field alone it is a "nalural" for progress which can be noted in a matter of weeks. The shy student, the slow student, and the student who has the ability and the desire to go ahead faster than the others -- all find the laboratory fitted to his particular need. As one language teacher ^ong in the field enthusiastically exclaimed, "It 1s a dream come true." T h e l a b , a p e r f e c t e x ample of modern scientific advancement, reminds us of a conversation with an old timer who was taking some pleasure in reminiscing on the days when folks wound up the Victrola after each record; when <^the richest man drove a Chandler with a red light on one running board and a green one on the other; and when folks would run two miles to watch a plane land in a pas tiu«. And so progress has continued from the earliest times, with man the only creature to change his way of life from the savage wilds to the savage civilization. It is a dubious credit to the definition of the word "civilized" when we sto.i to think that our busiest professional men are doctors, pur hospitals are crowded to a great degree through man's carelessness, and mental institutions are over-flowing due to the mad scramble of just living. The pace grows faster. We (t take vitamins to make up for what we miss in food. We diet but continue to grow fal ter because we refuse -- or haven't the time -- to walk around the block. Sports are line to take the business man away from his work and to exercise the lungs, so lie sits and watches someone elsf in action and does a little yelling for the home team. Srn:e day a new state of civilization may exist. If future generations reach the ideal state, it will probably not bo in the immediate future, for man has yet to find a way to enjoy more leisure, free from strain and strife, and at the same time reach out to attain the many goals which seem at his fingertips in this wonderful age of accomplishments. » * The taunting words, "jail bird" have greeted us in the omposing room this week after we made a mistake ir telling the boys we might need some hot soup brought to u* behind bars.

Most recent of these came from Mr. and Mrs. Alex Justen. who have returned from a four-week trip to Denver, Colo. It was mid-way between Omaha, Nebr., and Denver, on Highways 6 and 34, that they visi'^d the Pioneer Village of Harold Warp, Mr. Warp was a Chicagoan and still owns a factory there, but evidently spent consider- PRESENT ASF CHECK AUDIT REVIEW REVEALS CITY IN SOUND POSITION A special meeting of the City Council was held Monday night , for the purpose of reviewing the annual audit of city funds as made by Wolf and Company and presented by William R. North.^ W hi 1 e statuatory requirements in municipal auditing is on the complicated side, the council members had an opportunity to study income, expenditures and operations in various departments.

MONf TBIIMT MAKES MONTHLY VISITS IN ARE* Newsservice Is Offered Through Seal Contributions Harry Dean, second from left, past president of McHenry Rotary, is shown presenting a check from that organization-to Bert Kissling, president of the student American Field Service group at the McHenry high school. The check represents the balance of $650, the greater part of which the student AFS group raised to bring a foreign student to the local school to study for a year. Others shown, left to right, are Ray McGee, Rotary president; Carlos Ribas, 17-year-old Argentinian exchange student; and Roy Kissling, president of the adult ASF committee. New Baptist Church On Rt 31 Awaits Decision 0( Zoning Hearing 0rt.3 (Continued on Page 8) If a petition for a zoning change is acted upon favorably, McHenry may have a new Baptist church in the near future. The hearing on the petition, which lists other residents of the area residing on Rt. 31, south of the city, as well as the church itself, will be heard Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 3 p.m. in the city hall. Final action will come through the county board. Rev. Virgle Chappell, pastor of the church now housed on Main street, in the business section, said plans called for construction to begin at least by next spring, and possibly sooner. It will be located pn four acres of land on the west side of the highway, between the Grandt and Hettermann homes and extending in back of several other residences between Rt. 31 and the railroad tracks. The new structure would be 5,000 square feet, of semi-modern architecture, designed to accommodate 250. About half of the building would be used for educational purposes (Sunday School) and the other half for worship services. Kitchen facilities are also planned. Because of the size of the property involved, there would lie ample room for parking and for an outdoor recreational program. Rev. Chappell said this week he will know by Oct. 1 whether funds for the new churc'h will be available through the Home Mission board of the Southern Baptist convention. Opened In 1961 It was on June 18. 1961, that the doors of the present church opened to the public tn Main street, in the building which for many years housed Nickels Hardware. Following a revival meeting and Bible School, there were fourteen members. That figure has now grown to 112 members (10 years and over) and 138 in the Sunday School. Because of the rapid growth, it is evident that more space will need to be made available in the near future. In Wonder Lake, a threefloor dwelling was purchased by the Baptists and meetings ha\ e been held since last March. The regular pastor there is Rev. Bill Crohurst. Average attendance is twentyseven. To the East, the Lilymoor school has been rented by the church since last August, when Bible School was held. There is an average Sunday attendance of twenty-nine, and a pastor has accepted the call to serve the church. Rev. Don Allen will come to this area from South Elgin on Oct. 1. Youth Is Fined For Stealing Hubcaps Edward Schultz. 18 of McHenry was fined $107 by Justice of the Peace Charles M. Adams last Saturday on a charge of theft. He was apprehended for stealing hubcaps from a parked auto at McHenry Recreation on Sept. 14. Schultz was arrested by Deputy Sheriff H. A. Nulle, and complainant at the hearing was Louis Pierpaoli of McHenrv. McHenry Clubs Make History Last Thursday noon, for the first time in the history of the two organizations, McHenry Kiwanis and McHenry Rotary held a joint meeting in the Legion home, with fifty-five members present. It was the first of many such gatherings to be held in the future. Both President Gene Adams of Kiwanis and President Ray McGee of Rotary had a part in officiating at the meeting. Highlight of the two-organization gathering was presentation of the American Field Service exchange student to the McHenry high school, Carlos Ribas, 17, of Argentina. He was introduced by Bert Kissling, president of .the Student AFS group at the school, who gave a clear and interesting explanation of the AFS program and its operation. Carlos spoke briefly before the assembled group, his first appearance in front of a McHenry club since his arrival in late August. The tall, blond young man, who is residing for a year with the Charles S. Liebman family on Ridge road (Bull Valley), told something about his family and talked of the area of the country in which they live. He also answered several questions concerning his native country. He is especially interested in the approaching w'n^r season, for he has never seen snow. YOUTH PLEADS 6UILTY TO AREA THEFT RECENTLY Companion Will Be Arraigned Next Week In County One youth pleaded guilty to a local theft and a companion will be arraigned on the same charge next week. Neal Little, IT, of Palatine pleaded guilty to burglary and larceny when he appeared in circuit court last Friday and was allowed to file a petition for probation. Jerry Laymon, 19, also of Palatine, will be arraigned in circuit court next week Friday, Oct. 5. The two young men are charged with entering the Vacula Food and Liquor store at Wonder Lake last July 24 and taking merchandise with a value of $400. The information was filed by State's Attorney Richard Cross. Second Arraignment Also to be arraigned on Oct. 5 will be James D. Williams of Maywood, an ex-convict who was arrested Sept. 11 after shooting at a squad car in attempting to escape. The wild chase started at Crystal Lake after city police there had curbed Williams to answer a stop sign violation. He sped away to Woodstock, with the sheriff's squad Car entering into the race and eventually apprehending Williams after his car crashed. Williams was taken to county jail after removal from Memorial hospital, where he was treated for injuries sustained in the crash. No bond was set after Williams was indicted by the grand jury Monday for carrying concealed weapons. PAYS LIQUOR FINE Augustino G. Unti of McHenry was fined $80 by Justice of the Peace Charles M. Adams last Saturday on a charge of selling liquor to a minor. Any further action would need to come about through the city liquor commissioner. The yearly contributions to the annual Christmas Seal campaign have made it possible for the McHenry County Tuberculosis association to offer a new service to the residents of the county. The association has entered into a contract with the Lake County Tuberculosis association for the use of their mobile unit and trained personnel to appear in Woodstock the first Friday of each month, starting the first Friday in October. The unit will be located in Woodstock on the south side of the court house on West Jackson street, for the hours of 1 to 4:30 and 5 to 8:30 p.m. No appointment is necessary. This service is for people 18 years and over. The McHenry county associ at ion has been considering this service to residents of this county for sometime. Since Christmas Seals finance all programs, this has not been possible until now. Prior to this time, the service has been offered only once every three years. Its continuation will depend upon the response of the public. TRAIN WHISTLES GIVE PROMISE OF STRIKE SETTLEMENT More than a few pair of ears perked up a bit on Monday when train whistles were heard in McHenry and many other places along the tracks of the North Western railroad. A railway employee from here who has joined the other 17,000 on an enforced vacation this past month, said Wednesday morning that operation of road equipment, including flat cars, was started when negotiations seemed more promising to stop the long strike. Rust accumulates quickly on the tracks and it is necessary to run cars along the tracks to remove it. It was not learned who operated the cars that passed through McHenry.

BERT KISSLING SEMI-FINALIST IN NMSC TESTING Principal Marvin C. Martin of the McHenry high school a n n o u n c e d W e d n e s d a y t h a t Albert R. Kissling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kissling, has been named a semi-finalist in the 1962-'63 Merit Scholarship competition. He has been so recognized through outstanding performance on the National Merit Scholarship quali fying test, first step in the eighth annual merit program. Bert, a senior, is among app r o x i m a t e l y 1 1 , 0 0 0 s e n i o r s throughout the country to attain semi-finalist status. Each semirfinalist now moves a step closer to winning a four-year merit scholarship to the college of his choice. The qualifying exam was jiven in more than 16,000 high schools last March and the semi-finalist group represents a constant percentage of each year's high school graduating class nationally.

Students whose scores on the second test substantiate their performance on the qualifying test and who are endorsed by their high schools will become finalists in the New Chevrolet Home (Continued on Page 8) Chief Edwara Justen this week announced that a fire training school is now in progress at the fire house, conducted by an instructor from the state of Illinois, sponsor of the course. About fifty are enrolled, including the majority of Mc- Henry's forty-six firemen and some civilian defense auxiliary firemen. Classes are held every Thursday night for a period of five weeks. Area Crashes Cause Injuries An auto driven by Julius Jagusch of DesPlaines went out of control last Saturday evening on the Johnsburg blacktop and struck a utility pole, breaking it in two parts. The driver sustained a fracture of the knee and numerous lacerations of the face and legs. Jagusch's car skidded more than 100 feet on the shoulder of the road before hitting the pole. He told authorities the wheels appeared to lock as he rounded a curve. He was taken to the local hospital and later transferred to a hospital in DesPlaines. Two drivers escaped injury at 12:50 Wednesday morning when their cars sideswiped on Rt. 176, a mile west of Burton's Bridge. State police said Robert E. Bonner of Liano Vista, Crystal Lake, was travelling west and Wayne D. Sword of Wauconda was driving east on the highway when both swerved to avoid a collision after Bonner's car went across the center line. The autos sideswiped, resulting in $50 damage to the first and about $300 to the second. Bonner was ticketed for improper lane usage. On Rt. 120, near Thompson road, Linda Femer, 18, of Wonder Lake apparently lost control of her auto as she attempted to avoid hitting an- (Continued on Page 8) Don Peasley Photo Ceremonies dedicating Farm Bureau's new home will be held late Saturday afternoon, bringing to a climax a day-long program on "Farm Bureau Day In McHenry County." The organization's fiftieth anniversary will be celebrated earlier in the day. GIRL STUDENTS EXCHANGE HOMES FOR COLLEGE TERM The Gail Wrede family of 3108 Park drive. Wooded Shores, Wonder Lake, seem to be conducting their own private student exchange program. It all came about when their daughter J'Ann and Miss Juvenna Chang of Honolulu became fast friends at Ripon college, Ripon, Wis., where both the girls are students. For the past year and a half, Miss Chang has spent her vacations at the home of the Wredes in Wonder Lake. She is a liberal arts student at Ripon and is now in her junior year. This year Juvenna's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Barnes of 3232 Allan Place, Honolulu 17, Hawaii, invited J'Ann to spent a year with them and attend the University of Hawaii, an invitation she readily accepted. So J'Ann will take her junior year at the University of Hawaii and live with (Continued on Page 8) One of the most illustrious days in Farm Bureau history nears. This Saturday will be Farm Bureau Day in McHenry county. A triple-header program is planned to make the day a memorable one for all Who participate, and one of the na- • tion's most outstanding citizens will be in Woodstock to give the only talk. Charles B. Shuman, president of the American Farm Bureau federation and a leading spokesman for those who want less --not more --government in agriculture, will talk in the afternoon to highlight the fiftieth anniversary program.

The pew McHenry production facilities encompass about 30,000 square feet, doubling the original 30,000 square feet placed in operation last December when the plant was opened. Besides increasing aluminum condenser output, the additional space will be used by Modine to fabricate other specialized all-aluminum heat exchange products. According to G. J. Haislmaier, general sales manager for Modine's Autom otive-Industrial division, the production boost has been necessitated by expanding present and projected industry demands for the lightweight heat transfer | device. j He cited Modine's recent I agreement to supply all con- | densers for 1963 Mark IV car j air conditioners made by the | John E.
