Doctor On Scene • A. doctor was dispatched to the* scene, and within a short time he had classified their injuries by marking the foreheads of each with the numbers 1. 2 and 3, indicating their aeverity. George Worts, head of the transportation division, had station wagons and enclosed trucks rushing to the scene within minutes after the alert, a'ong with commercial ambulances. Since the primary purpose of the project was to test the effectiveness of the local division, other country groups * -ere not called to assist as they would be in case of a real emergency. Other divisions tested by SARCAP were police, fire, medicine and health and transportation. When brought to the hospital, the "patients" were placed under emergency conditions. Doctors on duty began immediate treatment, and others not at the hospital returned to make the program as real as possible. Fine Cooperation Of the thirty-four "victims", thirty-one could have been admitted to the hospital with the dismissal of some patients. In contrast to similar programs held in Lake county, where little cooperation was said to have come from hospitals, Director Shay said every need was filled locally in the treatment of the injured. John Horan, Civil Defense director at Antioch, Charles Sounders and C. D. Mclntyre, who hold the same positions in Harvard and Algonquin, respectively, acted as monitors of the operation and helped to bring "victims" to the hospital. Transportation was reported to have been better than expected. However, Mr. Shay said there was disappointment in the communications department, which was not as well organized as possible between various divisions. Also, he added that there was not sufficient civilian manpower at the hospital for unloading patients. Radio Amateurs Assist The "RACES", radio amateur civil emergency service, was pressed into service and assisted greatly. A three-hour meeting followed the alert, with all divisions present. Attending also was Henry Zedd, chief of field operations for Illinois Civil Defense of Chicago, who made comments on the effectiveness of the test. He observed that the area needs a rescue squad badly, adding that firemen had enough to do without the added task of acting as rescue men. He also suggested a control center which could be more efficiently handled. XI ill THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH *.id Wednesday, May 29. 1963 HJ.S. AIR FORCE" l LDEMY ft O VISIT CITY CADEMY CORPS ORC1 C01 (Continued from Page 1) in Fiesta Day Sunday, July 21, The committee has been fortunate to obtain permission from the department of defense to have the drum corps from :he United States Air Force academy from Colorado Springs, Colo. This outstanding unit has appeared throughout the country and on television. The academy's corps will arrive in McHenry sometime Sunday morning to participate in (he parade. Due to government regulations, the unit may not participate in competition, but they will put on an exhibition a short time before the drum corps magic show starts at 7:15 p.m. The Air Force Academy corps will travel over 1,000 miles to appear in McHenry and give enjoyment to many thousands of spectators. Together with the many other top-notch corps that will be in competition for the championship of Drum Corps Magic, this year's show promises to be one of the best McHcnry has produced. Musin' & Meanderin' HAROLD WILLIAMS' BODY FOUND IN CAR NEAR ROAD (Continued from pace 1) (Continued from page I) saved them to give to some less susceptible individual. Cleaning the attic can actually make the job of housecleaning almost pleasant, especially if you have a sense of humor. Everyone must have a few articles of apparel he has never been able to bring himself to destroy -- treasured items with pleasant memories that give a most hideous reflection in the mirror this year of 1963. - For instance, (hat favorite dress of not too long ago that you saved thinking if you put it away a year or two someone might think it was new. Dragging midway between the ankle and calf of the leg, it is hard to imagine ever appearing in it in public. Or the hat cocked over one eye, reminding you that you, too, were once young, but if It's. as long ago as the hat indicates, it might be best to forget the whole thing. And now that we've spent a pleasant few minutes recalling past housecleanlngs, we shall probably put all these things buck in their proper place Just so that next year's task will bring another amlle. the first shots. When he started toward her she shot again, and he fell to the floor. Her 14-year-old daughter, Judy, helped her mother put him in the car, and then drove to Barreville road in the second car so that she could bring her mother home. After leaving the body, Mrs. Williams took Judy and her, son, Jerry, 9, to Antioch. Mrs. Williamr, in her confession, told sheriff's police her husband was inclined toward drinking. It was learned that he had been in a tavern Sunday, prior to his return home and the family quarrel. The Williams' had moved to McHenry about two months ago from Antioch, but Mrs. Williams maintained her employment in that city and her daughter was completing the school year there. Williams himself was a pipefitter at Lake Villa. Identification of the body was made at the George R. Justen & Son funeral home on Monday by Ralph Bennett of McHenry Heating & Air Conditioning, for whom Williams had worked about a week. Funeral arrangements were not complete as the Plaindealer went to press. Coroner Theron Ehorn swore In a jury on Monday and continued the inquest. RESIDENTS ON RIVER PROTEST SEWERAGE PLAN (Continued from Page 1)' SEVERAL CRASHES CAUSE INJURIES TO MOTORISTS (Continued from Page 1) Lucille, were hurt early Friday when their car went out ot control and overturned on Barreville road, a couple of miles south of McHenry. They were brought to McHenry hoe* pital for treatment. The Halls managed to climb out of a window of the auto, which landed on one side. The car was travelling south when it left the right side ot the road, then crossed to the opposite side and struck two large boulders. William Buchholz of McHenry sustained only bruises and cuts when his car left Highway 176, near Darrell road, the last of the week and went down an embankment. Cars driven by Dennis Lennon and LeRoy Welter of McHenry were damaged in an accident on the Johnsburg ror><! last week. Sheriff's deputies blamed Lennon for following too closely. Tourism is classed as Texas's second biggest source of income. About 200,000 species of animals are known to live in the sea. It was good news to hear that Boy Scout Troop 131 of McHenry took first place at the spring camporee in which more than 400 boys competed. Both Carey Appliance and Gladstone's Department store were gratified with response of the public to the anniversary sales held during the past week. Both of these businesses have served the public for many years in McHenry. The new Illinois License plates for 1964 will be white lettering and numerals on a purple background, according to word received this week from the office of Secretary of State Charles Fi Carpentier. Handy information for those choosing a color for their new cars. K. A. F. Be Wise Use The Classified! Elect Judge In 19th Circuit county, because of Round Lake's effluent, and they expressed fear for the Fox rivei losing its recreational value should such a condition result locally. At times, the flow in the river is too slow to carry the flow from six or eight disposal plants. All residents and property owners concerned with this proposal were asked to write letters to their state representatives, protesting the 36-inch pipe Lake County is planning on running into the Fox river. Their names and addresses appear elsewhere in this issue. PHILANTHROPIST'S DREAM REALIZED IN NEW CAMP McHENRY GIRL NAMED THERAPIST AT SPEECH CLINIC The board of directors of the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Association for the Crippled, Inc., this week announced the employment ot Miss Anita Beckenbaugh as a V Continued from page 1) (Continued from Page 1) University of Michigan. From June, 1957, to February, 1961, Mr. Seidenfeld was assistant attorney general of the state of Illinois for Lake county, serving under Latham Castle, Grenville Beardsley, and William L. Guild. He has been a member of the Waukegan Township high school board of education. Mrs. Ernest Derreberry, 3411 I^ewis Avenue, Waukegan, president Of TriCounty. has appointed Mrs. Thomas Davis, 3202 W. Golf View, McHenry, chairman of the coffee bar at the McHenry county court house annex. Tri-County will distribute "I have voted" tags to the voters that day. The June 3 election is for the 19th Judicial circuit judgeship for Lake and McHenry counties. The duties of the circuit judge, in this case, will predominate in Lake county, with some attendance in Woodstock. Under the new Judicial article, the Supreme Court may also direct service in the courts of other Judicial circuits, if necessary. The Circuit court is the court of general jurisdiction. It hears all types of the years purchases were made until the camp now covers 378 acres. % Mr. Duncan died in 1950, at the age of 93, but his work continues. His widow, now 101, was honored by 400 alumni on the occasion of her 100th birthday a year ago. This same alumni group is now in the process of raising $27,000 in Mr. Duncan's memory to build a first aid health center at the camp. Host To Hundreds Four Chicago branches of the Y.M.C.A. on the west side send boys from 8 to 14 years to camp each summer, selected from the |inderprivileged. Only a small sum is paid by them, with the remainder of the expense met by the organization. The vacation season, is divided into five periods, each attended by 144 boys. Special stress is put on country living, highlighting such activities as boating, swimming, hiking and nature study. In recent years, twenty-two of the buildings have been winterized, and the camp is now used on weekends throughout the winter season. From an unpretentious beginning more than forty years ago, Camp Duncan has grotvn to an important place in tile community -- a fitting tribute to Joseph S. Duncan, a man with a dream. WEED DEADLINE Police Chief Lemker warned this week of the deadline of June 15 for having weeds cut, especially on vacant lots. An ordinance calls for a penalty for any property owner who violates this ruling. ANITA HWBIKNIi.** <s;*l speech therapist in the summer speech clinic sponsored by the association.

But regardless of the words of warning which appear in the columns of this newspaper-- and in the countless columns of other newspapers across this vast land of ours -- the carnage on the nation's highways continues at an alarming rate. Last year was no exception. In fact, the year 1962 stands infamously as the most tragic in history of highway safety. According to an authoritative report, 40,500 persons were killed last year in U.S. traffic accidents. It was an all-time high for a single year and erases the previous record of 39,969 fatalities set in 1941. The Memorial Day weekend promises to add an untold number to this toll, and it can only be our hope that McHenry motorists will heed the advice to use all precautions in travelling on a day when traffic is especially heavy. Moreover, highway ac^dents injured an additional 3,345,000 people in 1962. This, too, is a shocking total -- a total, which exceeds by nine per cent the comparable figure for 1961. To be sure, this is tragic news. However, we cannot help but feel fhe real tragedy lies with the public at large which apparently finds little motivation for joining the battle to save lives on the highways. Perhaps the communications media are armed with poor ammunition. Statistics, by and large, make poor copy even though they deal with a situation which last year directly affected 3,385,500 lives. Countless others were involved indirectly. So the question continues to arise: How can we translate 3,385,500 casualties into a meaningful figure? Consider, if you will, the combined population of cities like Atlanta, Boston, Dallas and San Francisco. Add to that sum the number of people living in Albuquerque, Des Moines and Salt Lake City. Then add the total population in Butte, Montana . . . and in Cheyenne, Wyoming . . . and in Tucson, Arizona . . . and in Wheeling, West Virginia. When you total the number of men, women and children living in these eleven American cities, you will have a sum approximately equal to the number of highway casualties in this country last year. It's an appalling number. Worse yet, most of these casualties were not caused by mechanical failure or by poor driving conditions. The simple fact is that nearly nine out of every ten highway accidents were caused by driver error and lack of judgment. At the same time, more than 80 per cent of all accidents occurred in clear weather and on dry roads. This, we devoutly hope, makes our point! cases, without limit, immediately, and inferior only to the Appelate courts and the Supreme court of the state.
