August 20.1964 AREA CRASHES NUMEROUS IN RECENT_DAYS McHenry Woman's Car Demolished Last Saturday \ Numerous acidents occurred this past week on highways in McHenry area. A car driven by Frances Matchen of 4126 W. Crystal Lake road, McHenry was struck last Saturday by another auto driven by Edna Eissler of rural Huntley on the. Crystal Lake blacktop. The accident took about 4:30 in the afternoon as Mrs. Matchen was attempting a left turn. The other driver failed to see her signal light and started to pass the McHenry driver, hitting her auto broadside and shoving it into a vegetable stand. The Matchen car was badly damaged, but the driver was only bruised. Escape Injury Two drivers escaped injury at 6:30 Monday evening when their cars collided on Griswold Lake blacktop, at Fernwood subdivision.- . - --- Raymond A. Singer, Jr., of 3216 S. Waterview, McHenry, told sheriff's police he was travelling south and saw the second driver, Arthur H. Lunniss, of 2800 Myang avenue, McHenry, approaching his car. Singer said he went off the shoulder of the road to avoid crashing, after which his car went out of control and off the road. Lunniss told deputies he was driving north when he approached the other driver in a cloud of dust, adding that his car was on or across the center line. The latter was ticketed for wrong lane usage. Other Accidents Two drivers escaped injury but their cars were damaged in a collision on Rt. 134 and Nippersink road about 9:30 Thursday evenirtg. Police said Albert Magnuson of Fox Lake was driving west on Rt. 134 and signalled prior to making a left turn. As he slowed, another vehicle driven by Frank J. Barrish of Ingleside attempted to pass him on the right, and as he did so, Magnuson returned to his own lane. The Barrish car sustained damage in the amount of about $350 and' the other car about $150. Neither driver was ticketed. Minor Injuries Everett Brown of McHenry suffered minor injuries Sunday evening when his tractor-trailer truck turned over as he drove on west Bay road, east of Johnsburg. The truck is believed to have gone out of control as he drove north. Brown was ticketed for not having a valid driver's license. Donald Tranberg of McHenry missed a curve while travelling .east on Fox Lake road early Saturday morning and collided with two parked cars belonging to Arthur Missbach of Pistakee Highlands. He suffered only minor injuries. There were no injuries and no one was ticketed in the collision of three cars last week at the intersection of Rtes. 47 and 176. A car driven by Bernard Shea of Wocdstock, travelling east on Rt. 47, began to pass slow moving farm machinery. As he did so, another car driven by Sue Gunther of Wisconsin. proceeding north on Rt. 47 around a curve, turned off that highway and collided with a third car driven by William F. Smock, Sr., of McHenry, whose vehicle had stopped for the sign at Rt. 176. No one was injured last week when cars driven by Florence Foreman of McHenry collided with the parked auto of Marion D. Ritter, also of McHenry, in the parking lot of the V.F.W. clubhouse, east of the city. , A young Wonder Lake motorcyclist, Stephen M. Harris. 19, of 5311 E. Lake Shore drive, was taken to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, last Thursday for treatment of injuries sustained when his vehicle struck a German Shepherd dog. The youth was driving on Valley View road, north of Rt. 176, near Crystal Lake, when he came to the crest of a hill and saw the dog. He told authorities he attempted to avoid hitting the animal, which ran into the road, but was unable due to the fact that the hill prevented hirp from seeing the dog in time. The motorcycle went out of control into a ditch as the driver swerved. Harris was blamed by sheriff's deputies for failure to have control of his vehicle. The dog \vas owned by Mike Moscinski of rural Crystal Lake.

Fred A. and Effie Graham. During the time his father served a Woodstock congregation, he attended Woodstock high school and was president of the last class to graduate in 1921 from the old school, which now serves as the court house annex. After teaching country school for a year, he stoked his way on a British lines ship across the Atlantic, but returned to this country in 1922 to enter Northwestern university. Forms Act As a member of the black gang on the Munson line, he worked his way up and down the coast of South Africa. Later, at the University of Southern California, he formed a vaudeville act in a program to raise money for the school. His musical career lasted for five years, during which he was a singing-recording artist. It was in the fall of 1929 that he enrolled with a younger brother in the University of Missouri, where he graduated in liberal arts in 1931. He entered graduate school and later in law school, where he received his degree.

She has been studying with Professor Norman Gulbransen at Northwestern university and intends to concentrate on opera coaching at Roosevelt university this fall. One of the highlights of her career thus far was an audition with Boris Goldofsky of the Metropolitan Opera last June, when she received much encouragement and advice. Mrs. Amici, whose beautiful, deep voice is well known in McHenry, has sung on numerous occasions here and before her contract with the Lyric Opera was a member of the McHenry Choral club. Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) is talk of placing the issue on a ballot in the presidential election in November. Informative folders were distributed during the county fair, and it is now hoped to acquire enough signatures on a petition to assure the vote this fall.' In spite of all we hear about the recklessness of youthful drivers and the unpredictable driving habits of the oldsters, within our own state they are involved in a lower percentage of accidents than their counterparts nation-wide. This seems hard to believe as we recall our own encounters with both age groups, but statistics are said not to lie.. Illinois drivers in the age range from 25 through 64 years, however, have a higher involvement record than the national average. Here in our state, the group of drivers through age 19 represents 8.65 per cent of the licensed drivers, compared to an 8.6 nation-wide percent of the licensed drivers, compared to J3.6 nation-wide percentage. They account nationally for 14.5 per cent of all accidents, but in the state this groups is involved in only 9.2 per cent. The 20 through 24 age group accounts for 10.97 per cent of drivers in the state, and for 11 per cent nationally. This group's accident involvement record shows 15.5 per cent of all accidents nationally, and 14 9,7 per .cent in Illinois. Among older drivers, those in the 65 through 74 age group represent 5.86 per cent of the drivers in Illinois, 5.2 per cent nationally, and account for 4.5 per cent of the accidents nationally. and 3.94 per cent in Illinois.

Midstream's BACK-TOVALUES See Next Week's Plaindealer HIGH SCHOOL BOARD ADOPTS $742,000 BUDGET (Continued from Page 1) which amounted to $775,387.27. The loss was approximately $46,000 through refusals to pay and taxes paid in protest. The new budget adopted by the board asks for $742,200, to be collected in 1965. Of this amount, $625,000 is for the educational fund, $100,000 for building and $17,200 for transportation. Accept Resignations With regret, the board accepted the resignation of Mrs. Clara Adams as manager of the school cafeteria. Mrs. Adams took over that responsibility when the cafeteria first became a part of the school fourteen years ago. During the years she has endeared herself to thousands of young folks whom she has served. Resignations were also received, with regret, from Gordon Good, math teacher, and Judith Hawkinson, English and speech teacher and drama coach- Mrs. HaWkinson will be replaced by Peter Steffen of Kenosha, who comes to McHenry with five years of experience. A leave of absence was given Mrs. Merilee Tronsen office secretary, to Jan. 1. Judge Nominees Will Be Ktamod (Continued from Page 1) was later learned that Atty. Koch had not announced his candidacy at the time of the poll and therefore was not voted on. The Democratic convention is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 25, at the court house. No announcement was made early this week of any candidates. Nominations are being made on the assumption that the county population justifies the naming of a secohd associate justice in the 19th Judicial district of the Circuit Court. The question remains whether or not the eventual winner will ever be seated. The judicial law in effect before the new reform legislation of almost two years ago stated that all counties over 60,000 population are entitled to an additional judge. However, the requirement under the new law has not been made clear. McHenry county, with a population of over 84,000, will be able to elect a new associate judge if the same ruling is found to apply. COUNTY REVISES OLD TRADITION OF LABOR DAY (Con tinned From Pa Re 1) the high school and the route will pass through the main section of Crystal Lake and a reviewing stand located in front of the Labor Temple, winding up at Veteran Acres for a special presentation by some of the drill teams.

T.reen St. S8.*-5500 VOTE ON FOREST PRESERVE THIS FALL IN COUNTY Provision For ^ Added Facilities In Area Sought More than 700 names have been affixed to petitions for placing a McHenry County Forest Preserve District on the November ballot. At a booth at the recent McHenry County Fair at Woodstock, residents of McHenry county had an opportunity to express their interest in the establishment of such a district. Stimulating the idea for ;a forest preserve district are tne Woodstock Men's Garden club, the Soil Conservation Servce board, and the McHenry County Planning commission. Members of these organizations manned the booth and talked with hundreds of McHenry county residents aobut the projected forest preserve district. The response was reported to be over-whelmingly favorable. Residents of the county will have an opportunity to .vote on the establishment of the, forest preserve district on a special ballot accompanying the November election ballots. Members of the above named groups will be circulating petitions throughout the county during the next two months, getting additional signatures and preparing for the hearing that will be held in regard to the ballot. No District Here McHenry county is without any major county public lands and is similarly without any major state properties. Residents of the area many times must go elsewhere for their picnics, for their recreation and for their leisure time activities. It/'is/WiUi the possibility of providing 'facilities for residents, and for attracting additional visitors and revenue into the county that the forest preserves are being promoted. Land is being taken up very rapidly throughout the entire metropolitan area, and McHenry county is one of the few in northeastern Illinois that does not have a forest preserve district.
