JULY 1, 1965 18 Pages -- 10c Copy WEEK MARKED BY TRAGIC ACCIDENTS Open House At Rescue Squad Building July 4 Above, at left, is the new ambulance purchased recently by the Johnsburg Rescue Squad. Also shown is the vehicle which still serves the squad in handling emergencies, particularly highway accidents, where there is need for wrecking equipment. Both \will be on display during open house Sunday, July 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the squad building in Johnsburg. and .Meanderi# Our Mayor now has a baseball team. A new daughter arrived last Monday to make it 'The Bloomer Girls Plus Two". With cooperation from neighborhood dogs (who we hope will confine their barking to the hours after 10 a.m.) and neighborhood children (who will refrain from loud noises until the same hour) this time next week will find us enjoying what we describe as a well earned vacation. Others might well disagree! Some of our friends consider a vacation that particular time of year when the only thing to do is keep moving and "live". We find that work keeps us moving far more than we like, which makes a few mornings of late sleeping our idea of "living". Some complaints have been received in the city regarding parking regulations in the 3500 block of west Waukegan Street, which is that portion extending from the corner of Waukegan and Green to the high school parkins lot. For some nine now, this particular area has been restricted' for the reason of congestion. Tlie . great number of cars before and after school hours, together with added traffic during hospital construction, brought complaints from the fire department when emergencies arose and prompted the city to erect no parking signs. Apparently these signs are not numerous enough to be easily seen, or other cars improperly parked prevent other drivers from realizing that thi ^ is a no parking zone. Another flag-flying day ap, proaches, and evidence tha more and more people are be coming conscious of its signifi cance comes with each holi day. More and more do wt see the red, white and blue flying from business and residential flagpoles. It might be well to remember a few o! the rules of flag flying we meet most often. When displayed with another flag against a wall, from crossed Staffs, the U.S. flag should be at its own right, its staff in front; when carried with others in a parade it should always claim the place of honor - at the right. Our flag should always have stars to the left of the picture, fabric floating to the right, and when hanging with stripes in a vertical position against a wall, the stars should be in the upper left hand corner. It isn't often the Plaindealer ladies have an opportunity to just- talk - with business far from the subject at hand. It happened last Thursday when Marie Yeggejook a good part pf one day's vacation to prepare a delicious lunch and invited "the girls". They made sure it was ladies only by leaving the men behind to "tend the store". There was even a birthday- Open house is being planned by the Johnsburg Rescue Squad for Sunday, July 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is held primarily to allow the public to see the building and equipment, especially new purchases. The new ambulance, purchased in March, is used only for emergency calls such as heart attacks and home accidents. The older vehicle is also still available for use, particularly in highway accidents. Also on display at open house will be all of- the new radio equipment for both trucks and the two base stations. Members of the squad will be present to explain the equipment for those who call. Coffee and cake will be served. "Many visitors will be interested in seeing again the home of the rescue squad, which was dedicated in August of 1960, culminating a dream dating back to 1952 when the Johnsburg Rescue Squad was originated by a group of twelve men. The purpose is to maintain and develop an emergency rescue squad volunteer service for the benefit of the Johnsburg, Pistakee and McHenry area, operate in emergencies involving accidents on water or land. The assistance given by the seventeen men and one woman who comprise the squad has continued each year until it is generally recognized that this group is one of the most valuable service units in the community. The squad membership includes Jerry Hettermann, Si Meyers, Bud Meyers, Dick Rudolph, Dick Frederick, $500 DAMAGE RESULTS FROM TRACTOR FIRE A tractor on the George Blake farm, north of McHenry, was damaged to the extent of about $500 last Saturday morning when a battery cable shortfed and ignited the gas tank. Firemen were also called to the McHenry hospital parking lot, where backfire of a car belonging to a Wauconda resident caused fire damage of about $100. Nnumerous grass fires, prior to Tuesday's rain required the attention of volunteers. MEMORABLE TRIP DESCRIBED BY FIESTA QUEEN Patti Gray Returns From Her Visit To Washington, D.C. McHenry's 1965 Fiesta Day queen, Miss Patti Gray, returned home Monday evening, tired but enthusiastic over her prize winning trip to Washington, D. C. She was accompanied by Mrs. Donald Justen of 4308 Ringwood Road. They left McHenry Thursday, and after a pleasant plane trip to the Capitol, spent most of Friday with Congressman Robert McClory, who took them on a visit to the House, with lunch in the Representatives' special dining room. He also accompanied them on a tour of the Capitol building. Later, Mr. McClory's secretary, Ella Jean Gratkowski, the former Ella Jean Buss of McHenry, took them to Arlington National cemetery, where they visited the grave of the late President Kennedy and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and witnessed the changing of the guard. Visits Senate Visits to the Senate and House in session, Patti said, were a bit disappointing. She found that many were not in their seats ,and there was considerable less formality than she had expected among the lawmaking groups. One of the highlights of the trip was hearing the Marine band concert performed outside the Marine barracks not far from the Capitol. Later, Branch Court Returns To McHenry This Week McHenry residents will see the return of Branch 3 magistrate court, effective July 1. That word came officially last Friday from Judge Glenn Seidenfeld of the 19th Circuit court, who established the hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Thursday. • The announcement was received with enthusiasm by the heads of city and village government in this part of the county, by police officials and generally by a public inconvenienced by its removal May 1.. A return of the tribunal will provide a marked improvement in administration of the judicial amendment now in effect for a year and a half. It will again perform the purpose for which the amendment was intended when given a favorable vote by the people of Illinois -- to better serve the public. However, the amendment still fails to provide all of the services desired. Newpapers no longer are able to visit with local magistrates concerning cases of general interest. And those papers outside the county seat find it increasingly difficult to check on these same cases (now heard almost exclusively in Woodstock) without frequent trips to the court. For the most part, it is expected that only traffic cases will be heard in McHenry. A word of appreciation is due Judge Seidenfeld for quick response in correcting a difficult situation locally. We are patiently waiting for the day when more detailed coverage will be forthcoming in the matter of local cases. MAN RESCUED FROM WATER AFTER TRACTOR ACCIDENT Donald W. Kastner of 3313 Oakdale Avenue, McHenry, narrowly escaped death last Sunday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock when the tractor ' he was driving rolled over into the channel in Dutch Creek Woodlands. Kastner was levelling ground near a new home under construction for the 'family when the vehicle tipped and rolled down the six-foot embankment into the water, coming to rest on top of the driver. In some manner, Mrs. Kastner and a neighbor managed to lift a portion of the tractor from the body to free him. He was taken from the water by the Johnsburg Rescue Squad and removed to McHenry hospital, suffering a possible broken shoulder and chest injuries.

Ed. Hettermann, Carl Sallaz and Joe Jacques, with Fr. Dording John "as chapJain. A highlight of last year's Fiesta Day program which will be repeated this summer is the Saturday night dance played by the Men of Brass drum corps. It will be held on the night of July 17 at the V.F.W. clubhouse, with an invitation to the public to attend. This is one of the ways in which this fine senior drum corps raises funds to meet the many expenses that confront them each year. Members hope for repeated success of the first event. Street Dance This year another event is being held. The city of McHenry will sponsor a street dance on Friday evening, July 16, at the city park from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. The very capable city band that performs each Friday night at the city park under the direction of Stanley Vycital will provide the music. Anyone who has heard them knows they will provide the finest of music. It is planned now that the dance area will be on Pearl street between Court and Park streets, at the south end oi (Continued on Page 8) "Miss Peanut" Entries Sought A special program for the youth of the community, the "Little Miss Peanut" contest again this year will be sponsored by the McHenry Kiwanis Club.

A gift will be given to each ARREST BULL VALLEY MAN ON ASSAULT CHARGE A rural i-esident, Ralph W. Moran, of 8303 Bull Valley Road, was apprehended last Saturday evening and taken to county jail on three counts of aggravated assault signed against him. Bond was set in the amount of $2,500 on each count, and upon release Moran was ordered to appear in Branch I court July 19. Michael Marchese, 16, of 419 S. Draper Road told sheriff's deputies he was riding with Steve Marchi and his sister, Sue, of 7319 W. Trey Road, McHenry, and James Gehri, 18, of Manitou Trail, McHenry. When Steve pulled into the Marchese driveway he was followed by another car. The driver, later identified as Moran, left his auto, reportedly threatened them with a revolver, then left. They went into the house to tell Mrs. Marchese, and then notified the sheriff's office. Acting on information given by the young people, who thought they recognized the man, deputies went to the Moran home and found him in his car, a .38 pistol and "billy" club beside him on the seat. Moran was taken to the sheriff's department, where complaints were signed against him. One Youth Killed In Auto Accident, Second Drowns On Saturday (Continued on Page 8) RETAIL MERCHANTS MEET The retail merchants of the Chamber of Commerce will meet on Tuesday evening, July 6, at 7:30 o'clock in Room 107 of the high school. Dollar Day plans will be finalized, and announcement will be made on the choice of days for the semi-annual sale. STUDENTS FROM 24 COUNTRIES TO VISIT CITY Bus Arrives In McHenry July 7 For Short Stay A bus with thirty-four students from twenty-four countries will arrive in McHenry on Wednesday, July 7. During their two-and-a-half day stay, the visitors will stay in local homes. They are enroute from a year in American communities, as members of families and students at the local high schools, to Washington, D.C., where President Johnson will receive them. From Washington they go to a final meeting of all this year's American Field Service students to evaluate their year in the United States and immediately following, return to their own countries. Sponsor Many The American Field Service is sponsoring 2,904 students from fifty-nine countries in more than 2,500 communities throughout the United States during the 1964-65 school year, and in return is sending more than 1,000 young Americans abroad. Since the beginning of the AFS international scholarship program in 1947, when fifty students from ten European countries came to the United States, more than 29,- 000 young people have received AFS scholarships. President Arthur Howe estimates that approximately 3,000 "students from more than sixty countries will arrive in August for the 1965-1966 year. The end-of-stay bus trips are designed by AFS to introduce the students to communities and regions of the United States other than those where they have lived for the preceding year. The trips also give an estimated 100,000 Americans a chance to meet boys and girls from all over the world. Seventy-four buses are making two or three-day stops in an average of six communities each. A one-car crash on Sullivan Lake Road, near the Wing 'n Fin clubhouse, last Friday evening resulted in the death of a McHenry youth and injuries to two others. Timothy P. McClarey of 801 Allen Avenue, 18 years old, died at 12:30 (Continued on Page 8> Summer Camps Open New Season V (C'oniinued on Pago S» "Nothing so rare as a day in June" is not only an old saying. For the hundreds of youngsters from Chicagoland who began summer vacations last month at Camp Villa Maria, on Pistakee Bay, it was a reality. During the next two months, residents of two orphanages will come to this area to enjoy vacations- in beautiful, wooded surroundings. Camp Villa Maria has been providing recreation for children at this location for more than forty years. - | - ; - - • Rudi J.

Youth Drowns An inquest will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock for Christopher Davros of 2245 Milwaukee Avenue, Half Day, who drowned in the waters of Pistakee Bay last Saturday, June 26 about 11 a.m. The young man died on his seventeenth birthday. Sheriff's police said Davros and three friends left Watts Marina in Fox Lake in a 17- foot motor boat earlier that morning. In the Bay area, Davros was skiing behind the boat when-he fell into the water. His companions threw a life preserver to him but before he was able to grab it, Davros went under the water. He appeared above the surface once, but disappeared a second time and was never seen again. With Davros were David Schuett, 21. of Half Day, John Hatch, 19. of Prairie View and Donald Schroeder, 17, of Half Day. In addition to the sheriff's office, firemen from Stations I and II. the Johnsburg Rescue Squad and scuba divers from Cary began a search for the body. It was not until 10:30 the next morning that deputies brought Davros to the surface at a point about 400 feet off the south shore, directly across from the Pistakee Yacht Club. Davros was born June 26, 1948. He was a student in of the crimp (Continned on Page 8) (Continued on Page 8)
