PwBflhi MANY ACCIDENTS ABE CAUSED BY SLIPPERY ROADS (Continued From Page 1) *?»M 'Mi'I THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER -4-*- Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued Fro a Page 1) Sf Wilder-man of Woodstock collided on Rt 120 and Thompson road. A wheel of the Johnson car left the road and as he turned back, the auto hit an Illinois highway department truck driven by Wilderman. Johnson, who was taken to Memorial hospital, was blamed for failure to have his car und# r control. A third accident which occurred during the snow storm involved cars driven by Robert N. Hager of 3201 Greenleaf, Wonder Lake, and Robert Meyers of McHenry. Hager is reported to have attempted to pass a vehicle between his auto and that of Meyers. At that point Meyers turned left and Hager was unable to avoid a collision. An auto driven by Gerald J. Ladishew of Chicago, travelling east on Rt. 120, went out of control and swerved into a car driven by Edward Gladman of McHenry. Both drivers and a passenger in the latter car, Ronald Funk, of Lakeland Park were taken to Memorial hospital for treatment. Edward Tomoshaitiz of Chicago lost control of his vehicle and skidded from the road while driving on Rt. 120, three miles east of McHenry. His car overturned in a ditch. A car driven by Lawrence R, Ekeroth of McHenry left the icy road late Wednesday evening and returned, facing the opposite direction. Gerald Herkes of 2927 N. Shorewood drive McHenry, was taken to McHenry hospital Tuedsay morning suffering a fracturcd nose and chest and leg injuries as the result of an auto accident. State police who investigated said Herkes was struck by another auto driven by Dennis Miller of 913 S. Darrell, McHenry, whose auto skidded on Rt. 120, a half mile east of the city, shortly after 8 a.m. Miller was arrested for wrong lane usage. Another accident on Tuesday occurred at 10:55 a.m. at Mc- Cullom Lake and Wonder Lake roads, involving cars driven by James L. Gianola and Raymond McCanna of Wonder Lake. State police said McCanna was travelling south on Wonder J<ake road and pulled in front of Gianola, who was westbound on McCullom Lake road. McCanna was blamed for failure to yield the right of way. Both drivers sustained minor injuries. A third accident Tuesday took place at 3:3C in the afternoon on Rt. 120, just south of Volo. Drivers were Ronald G. Seyse of 4804 N. Howard, McHenry, and Larry Johnson of Fox Lake. State police said both were southbound on #the highway when Seyse slid into the rear of the other vehicle. He was .ticketed for following too closely. Minor Accidents Frances C. Counley of McHenry and James E. Moore of Lakemoqf were driving cars which collided at the intersection of Glenwood and North avenues in Lakemoor last Saturday. /afternoon. Neither driver s^w the other vehicle approaching the intersection. An auto driven by Evelyn Fino of McHenry skidded off Barreville road, south of McHenry, on Sunday. The accident occurred as she attempted to avoid hitting a dog which ran into her path. Cars driven by Lester C. Laufer of Crystal Lake and Curtis Scheunemann of McHenry collided Sunday afternoon a mile north of Burton's Bridge, on Wright road. Neither driver saw the other as Scheunemann turned onto Wright road. Vehicles driven by Pamela J. Berg of Mount Prospeqt and Oliver W. Urban, Jr., of Spring Grove were involved in an accident Sunday which occurrcd five miles east of Richmond. The Berg auto was turning onto Twin Lakes road when ly disappointed at the election's outcome. A few minor difficulties in mail delivery have been reported during the past ten days, in advance of the Christmas rush period. It is presumed that the trouble has been due to the same thing that plagues all of us in a new undertaking -- the necessity for time to lapse until a system is operating at top efficiency. Last holiday seasdn McHenry was just outside a Chicago area district in which changes were ordered in the breakdown of mail to various locations at local offices. This year the district has been expanded, including McHenry, where the break-down has been cut to four categories, and the further distribution is handled at large, designated centers. The fact that Franklin Park is a newly opened center at this very busy season of the year has not helped the situation. The Post Office department evidently feels that if the new system works well at peak loads, it should be effective at other times. Last year's experiment met with such success that the area was widened this holiday season, and only time will tell how the venture works out. Like most other changes, if successful, it should result in f. more effective system at a saving in money to taxpayers. In taking pre-Christmas rides through our community, each evening we lind new and beautiful lighting*-/displays which no doubt will pro^de judges of the Chamber of Commerce- sponsored contest with difficulty in selecting winners. Some of those we have seen are almost sure to be wnners, but many others are set up strictly for the pleasure they will give the passerby. We know we speak for many other drivers in expressing appreciation for the time and effort spent by so many folks to instill greater spirit in the hearts of others. A few nearby Zip Codes might be useful to those mailing Christmas cards. They in» dude Ringwood, 60072; Richmond, 60071; Solon Mills, 60080; Spring Grove, 60081; Wonder Lake, 60097; and of course McHenry, with 60050. One of the traditional customs of the Christmas season is the singing of Handel's "Messiah," and there is perhaps no composition which so well embodies the spirit of the holiday. It has been said that this one work brought more money for charity than any other single piece of music. It also marked a re-birth of its composer, who was virtually a has-been in 1741. Although not an especially religious man, something seemed to possess this poor and ailing musician as he began to compose a new piece for a charity concert tour. After more than twenty days of study, the great "Messiah" was completed. At the first English performance a year later, King George II was so overwhelmed by the "Hallelujah Chorus" that he rose from his seat and stood throughout the section. The audience, of course, followed the example of their king, and so began a custom whi^n survives to our day. Out of the mouths of children come gems, and since Christmas is especially their time of year, some of their stories take on special meaning. One of the best to come our way was told by a first grade teacher at Hilltop school, who wa6 most concerned when a little boy in her class tcld about his mother beine; in an auto accident. He quickly reassured her in this way: "Oh, it's alright, we were going to get a new car anyway." K. A. F. COURAGE ASSURES INJURED LAD A HAPPY HOLIDAY (Continued from page I) it skidded on ice and collided with the other car. George Derderion of Grayslake and Lillian Vlach were reported involved in a two-car crash last week at the intersection of Rtes. 176 and 31. The two cars were approaching the four-lane entrance to the intersection when Derderion attempted to pass the other vehicle on the right side at which time the second car, which is believed to have been partly in both lanes, was struck. A car driven by Phyllis Meckley of Pistakee Highlands skidded on ice and hit a culvert before coming to rest in a ditch. The car remained upright. In another accident, a General Telephony vehicle driven by Leonard Staton of Kewanee was struck by an auto driven by Walter E. Schultz of Rt. 1, Spring Grove. Staton was reported to have been parked partially on the road. In attempting to move when he saw an approaching auto, his car stalled and he was struck. William Worm of Fair Oaks subdivision, attempting a left turn, was struck in the rear by another car driven by Marjorie Fashbaugh of Lake Zurich, whose auto slid on ice at an intersection. Other Crashes One driver was injured in a two-car crash which occurred last Friday on Rt. 12. a mile north of Highway 120. He was Charles Poegorski of Rt. 1, Crystal Lake. Poegorski was driving north on Rt. 12 when he approached another auto driven by Frederick E. Titus of 1114 W. Florence, McHenry, who was southbound. State police said an unidentified driver pulled onto the highway from a gravel road and into the path of Titus. In an effort to avoid the vehicle, Titus lost control and spun into the >ther lane, striking Poegorski. Sunday, when he was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, Flgin. Billy came home Tuesday, not only with crutches but with the same leg in a cast, where it will remain for at least six weeks.

WALTER BOLGER RE-NAMED HEAD OF PMA LOCAL (Continued From Page 1) creasing its leading position on the Chicago market by directing the movement of six million country plants. While this expansion in marketing activities has been going on, P.M.A. has increased its voting strength on the Chicago market by more than per cent over a year ago and has strengthened its No. 1 position as the market's major supplier of Class I milk, he said. Assure Market In bargaining for producer premiums, it is necessary to assure dairy fanners a continuing market for their milk, Smithberger said, stressing that PMA assures a market for producers at all times through the operation of its thirteen dairy plants. Rounding out PMA's programs for improving dairy farmer income is the voluntary Dairymen's Class I base plan for federal order markets. Legislation making the Class I base plan possible has passed the U.S. Senate and stands a good chance of being passed by the House of Representatives, he added. Sentence Two For Robbery ATTEND CONFERENCE McHenry Community high school was among 139 in the state sending administrators and teachers to the fourteenth School-University Articulation conference held last week at the LTniversity of Illinois. Two Colorado men wore sentenced in the court of Judge William Carroll last Friday on charges of armed robbery.

They were apprehended in the Huntley area seven days later, and placed in jail when they were unable to post $35,000 bond. A joint effort of the FBI, state police and county sheriff's police was responsible for their capture. Sherbondy was reported to have had more than $1,500 on his person at the time, and about the same amount was found in the rear of the car. Revolvers and a shotgun were also taken from the auto.
