Hustead said he was driving west on Rt. 120, near Lakeland Park, iwhen an east-bound car attempted to pass a small sports auto. In doing so, the unidentified driver travelled into the wrong lane and struck Hustead's car, after which the latter vehicle left the pavement and landed in a ditch. The second driver left his car and also the scene of the accident. The hit-and-run car was reported registered to Carl J. Perone, 720 N. Sawyer, Chicago, but Chicago police said there was no such address. An investigation is continuing by sheriff's police. Helen Taylor of Highland drive, McHenry, suffered back and internal injuries Monday when her car overturned after being forced off the highway by another vehicle which failed to stop after the accident. Robert G. Lee of 2722 Lake drive, McHenry, struck a fire hydrant west of Island Lake early Tuesday morning after the driver attempted to turn onto Sunset road and missed the intersection. A car driven by Russell Currie of Round Lake went out of control and rolled over two miles east of McHenry on Lincoln road Monday evening. Neither Currie nor three passengers were reported injured.. MUCH BUSINESS BEFORE McHENRY CHAMBER BOARD (Continued from Page 1) the various Chamber members, and interested persons may secure one from them. Any member not receiving a supply is asked to call the C. of C. office. Clarify Ruling Clarification on the recent ruling of the state that Dollar Day signs must be removed from above the highway came from Clint Claypool. He has learned that a 1963 state law makes any advertising banner illegal when extended across any road or highway. When a complaint is registered, as was the case in McHenry, the state must take action to assure the banners being taken down. OF ACTIVITIES FOR PTA STARTS NEW PROGRAM (Continued from Page 1) to serve as a core for individual functioning PTA's. A listing of meetings and programs for the general PTA will be sent home with the students in the near future. Benefit From Play Ticket sales for "Annie Get Your Gun" are going well for Sept. 17 and 18, the nights sponsored by the PTA for its first ways and means project. This play will take the place of the carnival which is usually held in October as its principal ways and means project. Ticket co-chairmen for the play are Mrs. John H. Caldwell and Mrs. John D. Nolan. NURSES MEET The McHenry County Nurses association resumes monthly meetings on Sept. 10 at 8 p.m., to be held at the Easter Seal Therapy center on Washington street, Woodstock. Mrs. Vera Joshel, registered physical therapist. will conduct a tour of the Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1)' There were times during both conventions when we wondered what would pass through the mind of the little man from Mars should he suddenly be plunged in the midst of one of these jostling, shoving, noisy masses and see proceedings for the first time. Even we who realize that the processes by which our great parties operate do so in the true American tradition of democracy, sometimes question the sanity of great masses. What, then, might a stranger think as he climbed inside his capsule to return to the comparative quiet of outer space? A one-day trip tp. the Wisconsin Dells recently, with the very scenic boat rides which are a highlight of any visit there, made us think again that a revival of the excursion trips along the Fox river and Chain O'Lakes might be very popular. The cool caves and the unusual rock formations of the Dells are not ours, but the relaxing quality of the ride, with some very fine scenery of our own to enjoy, would seem to be adequate to attract many folks. With all of the unusal items to be seen at the^ Dells, an insignificant occurrence gave us one of our most pleasant moments. At one of the many refreshment and gift stands located outside the caves, a bright-eyed, plump chipmunk from the nearby woods ignored the large, milling crowd to entice a small boy with saucy begging. The little fellow generously stretched out his hand, filled with peanuts, from which the animal ate eagerly before turning with remarkable haste to his retreat through a well travelled route under the stand. Upon questioning the lady in charge, we were informed that many of these self-trained little chipmunks make their appearance at regular intervals and return each season to take advantage of a well stocked larder. Many McHenry residents were pleasantly surprised last Saturday evening as they watched the Steve Allen show to see in the audience a McHenry family, Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Thomas and daughter, Cathy, and former residents, Mr. and Mrs. James Fay. Jn fact, the Thomases had an opportunity to see themselves since this was a re-broadcast. While on their California vacation in August, they also attended the Lawrence Welk show with another former McHenry resident, Dr. Glenn Wells, and his wife. Labor Day, Sept. 7, is an appropriate time to fly the flag. It is especially so since it marks the opening of school in this area, with many educational institutions beginning each day with the pledge of allegiance. In its 187-year history, the famous banner has added thirty- seven stars to the original thirteen, each one representing world, our flag continues to a state. Today, throughout the stand as a symbol of hope and freedom for the oppressed. Surely, then, it should stand as a badge of honor and strength for all Americans.

By Anne Ashley * (Persons who wish to have help with specific problems may write to Anne Ashley in care of W. L. Gordon Features, 9th floor, Resor building, 37 W. Seventh street, Cincinnati 2, Ohio, sending along a stamped self-addressed envelope.) Q. What can I do about the picture nails, screws, and hooks in my walls when I'm about to repaper the room? A. Remove these holders and replace them with toothpicks, allowing the points to protrude from the wall. Then when the new paper Is smoothed over them, they will come through, and there will be no need to rip the paper or remeasure the walls to find the proper places for your pictures or mirrors. Q. How can I shrink thread when using it for drawn work? A. By placing the thread in a vessel of boiling water for about an hour. This will not destroy the gloss of the thread. Q. How can I remove the marks left on the skin after some adhesive tape has been pulled off? A. Fingernail polish remover is excellent for this purpose. Q. How can I insure perfect, straight seams in my home sewing? A. Try placing a one-inch piece of cellophane tape on the needle plate of your sewing machine, 5/8-inch from the needle point. Then you can run your material along the edge of this tape. Almost all patterns call for 5/8-inch seams. Q. How can I prevent fruit from discoloring when making a salad? A. Sprinkle the apples, oTanges, peaches, or bananas with lemon juice as soon as the fruit is cut, and this will prevent discoloration, which is due to exposure to the air. Q. How can I keep leather chairs and other leather articles clean and shiny looking? A. By making a practice of rubbing them frequently with egg whites which have been beaten to a stiff consistency. Q. How can I renovate a worn or misshapen paintbrush? A. You can often do wonders just by trimming It back into shape. By holding a razor blade against a small pocket comb, and gently pushing the comb through the bristles of the brush, yon can remove stray hairs and perform a very SwG/tt-Cute QAiometi1 by Maggie There's something very warm and charming about shiny POLISHED WOOD FURNITURE in a home. But watch out when the wood starts looking dim or cloudy. You may have been over-polishing or over-Vaxing it! But you can remove the film by applying Simoniz Paste Kleener with a damp cloth. Clean only small areas at a time, and as it dries, rub with a clean dry cloth. (This also gets rid of old soil that's built-up.) Now to keep that film away (on old or new furniture), apply any furniture-care product lightly. Buff as digeeTtSKIf sugneat job a trimming and reshaping, Q. How can I remedy leather articles that have acquired mildew? A. Try wiping off the leather with a cloth wrung out of a solution of denatured alcohol and water (equal parts), then dryng in the sun. Q. How can I warm leftover biscuits properly? A. One good way to warm them is to sprinkle lightly with water, place in a pan, then in a larger pan of hot water, and place in the oven for a few minutes. Q. Is there anything I can do about old candelabra or other silver - plated objects, which have become too badly worn for further polishing? A. A painting of these, items with refrigerator enamel will give them a new appearance The resultant hard, bright gloss looks much like a porcelain finish, and is very easy to keep clean, too. gest. Except for the piecei that get lots of hard use, you should re-wax or polish only when necessary, about once every 4-6 months. NOTE: Don't use an oil polish unless your furniture has an oil-type, lowluster finish. CHAMOIS CLOTHS are wonderful to have 'round the house -- until they get so stiff you can't use them. To soften, soak chamois in warm water with a spoonful of olive oil. It will come out like new. Going shopping with your daughter knowing whatever school clothes she picks will have to be altered? Well, know, what to look for to make the job of ALTERING CLOTHES easy. If the garment doesn't fit across the back, neck or shoulders, put it back on the rack and look for something else. If the skirt is pleated and is too short, don't buy it no matter how deep the hem is. That weight is needed to let the pleats drap gracefully-- and besides, you probably wouldn't be able to remove the old hemline traces when you let it down. This doesn't apply to full skirts that just have soft®folds at bottom.) Any machine-made marks--su?h as a row of. "dots," clippings in darts -- may make those areas hard to alter.
