THE McEgNRT PLASISEAU9t Thursday; May ?--1984 Political Convention Gary Walsh, temporary chairman, and J anis Ansell, permanent clerk, both of the McHenry area, are shown working out the many details necessary for the successful mock political convention, first of its kind in the history of McHenry county schools, held last weekend at Marian Central high school, Woodstock. The demonstrations and the eight roll calls arc over. The first mock political convention held for high school students in McHenry county adjourned at 11:20 p.m. Saturday, May 2, without a presidential nominee. T^he convention was deadlocked with Henry Cabot Lodge receiving 355 and one half votes, with 364 votes necessary to nommate. A compromise candidate, Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania, was presented by the adherents of Governor Rockefeller, Senator Goldwater and Governor Wallace. He was also supported by the state of Texas, which had backed President- Johnson through early leads during roll calls. Name Leaders Elected permanent chairman of the convention was Greg Wille, a senior of "Woodstock high school; permanent clerk was Janis Ansell, McHenry, a senior at Marian Central and permanent sergeant-at-arms was Robert Aubrey, a senior at Marengo high school. Delegations were present representing the fifty states and three territories from the seven cooperative schools in the county; McHenry, Woodstock, Harvard, Marian Central, Hebron, Marengo and Huntley. Members of the organizing Secretariat, students at Marian Central, from the" McHenry area included Gary Walsh, temporary chairman of the convention; Janis Ansell, temporary and permanent clerk of the convention; Paul Nitz, hospitality co-director; Caryl Lima, arrangements co-director and Charles Kupstis, security co-director. Gene Brooke, McHenry high school, served as a faculty representative. The mock political convention was conceived by William Boyd Andrews as a practical workshop in politics. The excitement generated by the more than a thousand county stu- WOMAN'S CLUB TO INSTALL OFFICERS AS SEASON ENDS On Wednesday, May 13, at noon, the McHenry Woman's club will hold their final meeting and spring luncheon for the 1963-64 seasoij at Hunter Country club, Richmond.

Division A, chairman Leo Nichols, was the winning division, and Team D, Captain Col. E. J. Teberg, was the winning team. Mrs. A. S. Johnston was a member of division A, Team D. Chances for the new Y.M.C.A. building to be a part of the McHenry community came closer this past week with the presentation" of five acres by Dr. and Mrs. Lee Gladstone, located north of the city on Rt. 31. The organization has two years in which to decide whether or not it will accept the land for this purpose. A Y.M.C.A. secretary was interviewed by the area board last Saturday in preparation for plans which call for the opening of activities about June 1. Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from page I> „There are many folks who have wondered if the American Heritage is getting lost in the shuffle. It may be true that each passing year takes us further away from the birth of Independence in 1776, but the Heritage seems very much alive in McHenry. Last Thursday's Plaindealer carried an announcement that American flags were being offered as a public service, at a nominal cost, for home use. By the close of the day, eight persons had obtained flags, and Friday morning started the Fame trend. Mayb(e Loyalty Day on Friday had something to do with it. but we would prefer to ttiink that the" principles evident in the patriotic acts of our early yea^s are still cherished today. City Council Proceedings (Continued from Page 1) Sometimes there is a temptation to return to the good old days before (automation increased life's little problems. We especially refer to the occasion early last week when a co-worker called the repair man to find dut why the automatic timer on a new stove failed to go on at the appointed hour. After serious consideration, it was decidcd that there was some connection between the reluctance of the timer to operate and the change to daylight saving time. What wasn't learned until later--much later --was that the trouble didn't lie in the. timer's inability to operate but the householder's failure to set the clock ahead one hour. A correction of the clock produced a fine roast -- just a little late. (Name withheld on request). McHenry sons and daughters will be joining with those through the nation next Sunday in honoring their mothers on Mothers Day. It is the fiftieth anniversary of the special event proclaimed by President Wilson on May 9, 1914. Five hundred carnations started the whole thing back in 1908 when a Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia presented them to friends and neighbors for a special service on the anniversary of her mother's death. Thereafter she dedicated herself to getting a special day to honor mothers. , If we wish, however, we can go back farther to the period immediately following the Civil War and to the observance of a Mother's Friendship D&y. Ages before, the ancient Greeks were celebrating the mother of gods, Cybele, with special rites in woods and caves. Whatever its origin, it is a custom which has gained widespread observance, and most mothers will be remembered in some special way this coming Sunday. K. A. F.

McHENRY GIRLS WILL BE"SENT TO UCP SCfcOOL COURT BRIEFS In conjunction with their recent Project Preview, in which Terry Hammond a Cary- Grove senior, was awarded top honors last week, United Cerebral Palsy of McHenry County has named two runners-up --both McHenry high school juniors. Miss Sue Farr and Miss Isobelle Wolf, both excellent students in the McHenry high school, were this week told they would be sent to the University of Southern Illinois at Bloomington for the one week orientation - course being sponsored by United Cerebral Palsy of Illinois. It was first planned to only send one high school student, all expenses paid, from the county, but in making a bequest to U.C.P. in the name of Evelyn Varese of McHenry founder of the women's division, her husband, Anthony Varese, requested that the money be used for the good of handicapped children. For this reason, two runners-up were named. The three girls will be travelling to Bloomington the first week* in July, where they will live in college dormitories for the week, during which time they will receive a very good orientation course in the teaching of the physically and mentally handicapped. DRIVING PRUDENCE ring speeds are largely a matter of prudence. However, says the Institute for Safer Living, fast drivers and slow drivers should realize that they have a responsibility for the safety of each other as well as to the driver who maintains an average speed inbetween. Try as much as possible to conform to prevailing traffic flow. A number of cases were heard in McHenry's Branch 3 of the Circuit court in April. Fines were as follows: Speeding charges were made against William Farr of Waukegan, $15 and $5 costs; JBrendan Clove, McHenry, $10 and $5 costs; Joseph Antonielli, McHenry, $10 and $15 costs; Albert S. Blake, McHenry, $15 and $5 costs; and Edwin C. Dorffi, Crystal Lake, $18 and $5 costs. John O'Halleran of McHenry was fined $15 and ,$5 costs for not having state license plates and $25 and $5 costs for driving on the wrong side of the road. Gerald A. Foute of McHenry paid a $5 fine and $5 costs for a stop sign violation and $25 and $20 costs for hitting a parked car and leaving the scene. He also pa}d $15 and $5 costs for driving on the wrong side of the road and $10 and $5 costs for speeding. Howard R. Parth of McHenry was charged with leaving the scene after striking an .unattended vehicle and paid $10 and $5 costs. READ THE CLASSIFIEDS TRAGIC "RISKIDENTS" A "riskident" is an accident you almost have by taking a risk that you shouldn't have. Fortunately, according to the Institute for Safer Living, most risks result in near "misses" rather than "hits." But there are tragic exceptions! Never knowingly take an unecessary risk while driving.
