She will graduate Saturday, Aug. 1, from St. Anthony's hospital in Rockford. Miss Sesko attended St. Patrick's parochial school here and is also a graduate of McHenry high school with the class of 1961.

Motorists Hurt In Accident ' (Continued from Page 1) CONSERVANCY IN DISTRICT WINS AGENCY ATTENTION (Continued from Page 1) "Heights, for treatment. Faces Charges Robert C. Pina of San Antonio, Texas, faces three charges following his arrest Sunday on River road, near Snug Harbor. Pina's car went out of control, striking a building near the road and a fence. He left the auto and attempted to flee through a field but was apprehended in a short time. State police charged the Texan with wrong lane usage, reckless driving and theft. Three persons were treated for injuries sustained in an accident at Bay and Cuhlman roads last weekend. Autos involved were driven by Victor A. Hopp, Jr., of Ringwood ahd Marie Chenoweth of Kingston road, McHenry. A passenger in the second car was Sharon Rioux, of McHenry. Other Accidents A two-car accident at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening at Rt. 120 and Ramble road caused injuries to one motorist. Carmel Burrafato of 4505 W. Rt. 120, Lakeland Park, sustained injuries when the car collided with another driven by David Kurz of Round Lake Beach. \ . Burrafato told sheriff's po'- \ lice he was driving west when j the other car drove in front i of him and he was unable to j stop before striking the vehicle ! duct nels placed in the limestone underground, connecting the bodies of water. The purpose would be to alleviate shortages and over-supply in either river. A proposal to' reverse the flow of the water in those areas was also discussed. General Research The report of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning commission reviewed the background of its work, concerned mainly with general research, forming a framework for regional growth, and acting as a center for the coordination of all other plans in that area. A land use and traffic study has been undertaken in which twenty-eight water testing stations have been set up on the Fox river in Wisconsin to determine the uses of water. This organization also has undertaken a park and open space inventory. In addition, there are two watershed committees, one of these concerned with the Fox river, on which thirty-four men are studying flooding pollution, land use park and open space. A new educational study has begun on the Fox project. The Lake County Plan commission announced work in progress to remodel an outmoded zoning ordinance, and designated the Chain O'Lakes a problem area. It was admitted there is much research still to be done. Algae Problem At this point Mr. Morris intervened to state his opinion that the algae problem is foremost in the study now in progress. Fox Lake's mayor added that business in that area is suffering, since resort residents have been known to take a brief glance at the water and leave. A resort from the Public Works department of Lake county indicated that two studies have been completed, one on sewerage facilities and the other, intercepting sewers. A representative from the Illinois Division of Waterways explained three projects now in progress by that state group, none in this area, and said a study of the Fox river approved by Governor Kerner would depend on the outcome of next fall's election. This organization expressed an opinion that the Fox river is a key recreational resource for the Chicago area. Work oi Corps The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers had present one of its members who stated that his group recognizes no state lines. It has no funds available for water conservancy, problems, but the organization did constudy in 1949 and one exact determination, based on facts could be ascertained. Sets Up Study The State Sanitary Water board, represented at last week's meeting, was described as only an advisory group. No funds are available, but within the board a pollution control agency has been set up to study the Fox and two other rivers concerning usage. These were described as 1, sewage, and 2, recreation. In line with the board's algae study now in progress, a solution was advanced suggesting the laying of pipe to New Orleans from the local bodies of water. The U. S. Public Health department was introduced as a government organization which does not work directly with the people but in conjunction with state groups. A representative described in detail its purposes and said there was no economical method of solving the sewage program. Of interest was a statement that revealed considerable money now available for a young man who wishes an education and would like to enter work related to this department. The Health department deals with such projects as grants to state for research, securing construction grants to state for research, securing construction grants for sewer systems through the state, enforcement between states, etc. New Laboratory The Lake County Health department announced a new laboratory to analyze and test water. Samples have been taken on the Chain O'Lakes and in sewer plants in the area. The county has also been active in a program of sealing heads on boats. The State Conservation department reported on the relationship between turbidity to fish kill, and cited increase in motor boat activity in local waters and the anticipated worsening of the situation in years to come. Present at last week's meeting was McHenry's supervisor, Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) "represent" people -- approximately an equal number of people according to the United States census. As it pertains to the 12th Congressional district (Lake, McHenry and Boone counties), the effect of the Supreme Court ruling would be to increase the representation of this area in the Illinois state Senate. The population of these three counties was approximately 400,000 at the time of the 1960 census compared to the average population for each senatorial district under the Supreme Court ruling of only 155,000. McHenry county would be represented by three members of the state Senate instead of only one member as at the present time. The Chicago suburban area would alsoi have increase representation under the decision, but counties in the southern part of the state would suffer. Hearings on the proposed amendment started last week before the judiciary committee of the House of Representatives in Washington, D. C., bringing up a contest between proponents of greater independence and right of self government, and those who believe in equal representation with both state representative and state senate districts of approximately equal population. Many question what would be offensive to the national welfare and the fvSture of our government in having a state House and state Senate carried out in a system similar to that of the federal system, whereby the House districts are divided according to population and Senate districts on the basis of area, was adopted overwhelmingly in 1954 by voters of Illinois. The coming weeks, during which this will be debated, will be of interest to all state vot- With interest we noted last week that in the seven-day period preceding publication of the paper, neither the sheriff's office or state police recorded any accidents in the McHenry area. This is good news during a time of increasing highway crashes. Before we become optimistic, however, statistics come to mind remind us that August is the most dangerous month, Saturday the most dangerous day and night the most dangerous SET ALL AMERICA CITY CELEBRATION SUNDAY, AUG. 2 Woodstock's well - earned pause to relax and bask in the glory of All-America City recognition is under way, and it comes to a climax this Sunday, Aug. 2, with the official celebration cn All-America City day. For more than half a year-- since last October when the first news concerning Woodstock's selection as a finalist was announced--a great many citizens have been bustling to follow through. Activities will center at beautime for driving. Fatality rates are highest then. With August fast approaching, we can all look to our driving habits. A very serious lack of interest is apparent this year as many county businesses, industries and commercial organizations have failed thus far to offer support in the form of pledges to bid at the annual 4-H auctions which follow the August fair. During the past twelve months, 4-H membership has grown by over 100 members, and business and industry is needed to take up the auction buyer slack. If all animals are to be sold, at least thirty-five more buyers than in 1963 will be required. Adults often express their interest in youth. This is a fine opportunity to show real evidence of it through support of the finest young folks in our community. There is no more wholesome activity than the projects which take the time, energy and scientific study demand in raising these excellent animals. The boys and girls can hardly be expected to maintain their interest without the encouragement evidenced by buyers who "shop" at the Aug. 9 auction. A note from Mr. and Mrs. Fred F.

"This will be a day of fun and relaxation," Ralph Stork, chairman of the official celebration. All this week activities are being carried on as part of All- America City Week, launched by the ukmderful V-J Day parade and Pageant .of Drums last Sunday. Miss Nanette Lockhart will be crowned as Miss All-America City this Sunday during the short formal program at city park. Nan, reigning Miss Woodstock, is also the reigning Miss VFW. Fun begins this Sunday with a chicken barbecue, served by members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in city park. Advance tickets sales are being pushed to help the committee plan its food purchases better. Everyone is invited to bring a picnic and enjoy the park if they prefer. "The main thing we would like to see is to have many hundreds of people from all McHenry county come to the park to enjoy the many events," said Stork. The Little League regular game or exhibition game at 1:30 p.m. on George Sullivan Field will be followed by water fights among sixteen or more fire departments at 2 p.m.; diving and swimming exhibition at the beautiful pool at 3:15 p.m.; band concert by the W.C.H.S. band during the afternoon; and the formal program at 4 p.m. on the big baseball diamond. Rep. Robert McClory will be among dignitaries present. Ron Hutson, Chamber of Commerce manager and one of the leading forces in Woodstock's followthrough after its selection as an All-America City finalist, will be master of ceremonies. Music and entertainment will be interspersed in the program and during the afternoon -- a formal affair of about fortyfive minutes.

Some thought had been given to the possibility of making a levee, but this was ruled out because of the increased population growth. Channel dredging for reservoir expansion was also decided against. It was made clear that the people must let it be known to county, state and federal authorities as to their needs in regard to water supply, recreation and related programs.

The judges were Raymond Johnson of Chicago, Fred Olufsof, of Warrenville and Grace Breltabistein of Chicago. It was estimated that this year's attractions, which included a wild animal show, drew the largest crowd. PLAN GROUP ON TOUR OF MANY LOCAL TOWNSHIPS Members of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission will be touring Marengo township on -Friday to obtain the latest information on the resources and development of the township. This is the second of a series of township tours for the purposes of increasing the commissioners' familiarity with the county, and obtaining land use information for the county planning program. Commissioner Henry Marlowe of Huntley is in charge of tour itinerary. Earlier this summer Supervisors Leo Benecke of Riley, Harley Mackeben of Grafton, with Riley Township Highway Commissioner Franklin Carr and six commissioners, toured Riley township. The latter included Sylvester Tonyan and Ted Wickman of McHenry; Ralph Ostrander of Woodstock, commission chairman; Hubert Curtis of Lakewood, vice-chairman; Howard Osborn of Cary and Marlowe. They found that practically all of Riley township is zoned and is being used for farming. If aljl the subdivisions, gravel pits, and other similar land were in one spot, it would amount to about one section of land. There are fifty miles of gravel roads in the township.
