PAGE 4, SECTION 2- McHENRY PLAIN DEALER - MARCH 23, PWUUHONANDRfPRfSEtTlTION With township elections occurring in the very near future, ft is interesting to learn the relationship between populations, , County employees and representation on the county board among tlie various communities. We note that Algonquin, with a supervisor and four assistants, has only 8.9 per cent of the total county employees and ha£ 24.65 per cent of the population, while Dorr (Woodstock) with 11.46 per cert of the population, has 66 per cent of the county employees and two supervisors. Nestled between these two extremes is McHenry township, with 20.31 per cent of the population and 9.4 per cent of the county employees. Other comparisons include Greenwood with 3.64 per cent of the populatiori and 8.3 per cent of employees; and Hartland, 1.14 per cent of population and 7.7 per cent of employees. Burton township, to the north, amongthe smallest in size, does . htit have any county employees. Figures are based on the 1960 census and shows a total population of 84,210 and 180 county employees.

It is also the time when your fair lady looks forward to promenading iji the Easter Parade and the highways beckon, the lilacs burst their buds and the dogwood breaks out in roseate splendor. | is a time of rebirth and, sadly, it is a time of murder by tnotor on our streets and highways. T With the accent on LIVE!, we join with the Governor's Official Traffic Safety Coordinating committee in asking all who §Hve to drive safely, and, as a means of identification that you will keep this pledge, to turn on your low beam headlights and keep them on during the daylight hours of the Easter Holiday -- From 6 p.m. on Friday, March 24 -- Good Friday -- through Sunday, March 26. Of course, you will use your lights during the hours of dusk and darkness, too. But, remember, Illinois law prohibits the use of parking lights when driving. We don't know whether the "Light Up and LIVE!" program accounted for the 38 per cent reduction in traffic deaths in the three holiday periods it was employed -- Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the Christmas-New Year holiday. But we do know that the national reduction was 16 per cent and, if turning on your headlamps in holiday daytime driving can prevent just one death, it is well worth doing. After all, it might be YOUR death we are all trying to prevent.

For the usual high schooler has not beat taught how to study efficiently or glean the facts from a book in a minimum of time. So send for the booklet below and be sure every student takes it to college with him. By George W. Crane, Ph. D., M. D. CASE C-501: Larry T„ aged 18, is a college freshman. "Dr. Crane," his worried mother began, "Larry was a very good student in our small local high school. "But now he is on probation and afraid he will flunk out of college. "What is wrong? How can a bright high school student drop so drastically when he gets to college?" SANDLOT VS. BIG LEAGUES High school competition is much less severe than what students encounter in college. So parents and teen-agers may well keep these salient facts in mind: (1) The farther down in the school system, the more dull pupils will be found. They keep dropping out as they reach Junior high and then Senior high. Even so, in a small high school, a bright pupil who doesn't do much home work but who listens closely to the teacher's • lectures, may still rate fairly high marks. For a boy with a high I.Q., despite lazy study habits, may Twice Told Tales cerning accounts? If so, please, ; Kleinhans Building Service, Dr. drop me a line.

John Qualters, about 38 years old, died suddenly of a heart attack at the Thomas Phalin farm south of this city. Alsena Gage, eldest daughter of George and Martha Gage, was born Oct. 5, 1839, in Lake County, 111., near Gage's Lake and passed away at the home of her granddaughter, Fanny Thompson, after an illness of , several months. At the age of nineteen she was united in marriage to Harrison C. Smith, the ceremony taking place at the old Gage home at the corner of Main and Center streets in West McHenry. The bridge across the mill pond was completed last week. A rifle club was organized in McHenry on Tuesday evening at the meeting of the local post of the American Legion with a membership of fifteen. The Chicago Fruit and Vegetable Market is the name of a new business enterprise which will open in the C. G. Beraer building on Green street. S. Hirschman of Chicago will be the proprietor. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 19, 1942) In the forum room of William Penn hotel early in January was served the installation banquet of the Soroptimist Club of Pittsburgh. The Soroptimist club is a national organization open only to women who are executives of companies or managers of businesses. Miss Verena Justen, daughter Of "Mrs. N. J.

Murphy of Riverside drive, fell into the Fox River across the street from her home. When Mrs. Murphy reached the river bank she discovered the little girl about ten feet from shore, lying face down.

In college, however, everything is changed, for all your classmates are high in I.Q. You dare not try to "coast" or rely solely on the professor's lectures. College is like a 100-yard dash where all the runners are 10-second men. Whoever gets the jump at the outset, even by half a stride, will probably win the race, assuming they are all even in speed! (2) Jump the starter's gun, as it were! Too many students from smaller high schools lazily delay in buying their textbooks for a week or two after classes begin. For they figure the professor will not expect them to be prepared so early ih the course. Not so the top students of Phi Beta Kappa caliber! They "scout" their professors even before the first class meeting. They also acquire their textbooks in advance. They come to the very first class session with some advance reading in the course and at least a little orientation. That's how brilliant students "jump the gun." (3) Learn how to read your textbooks most efficiently. Use a colored pencil and underline the important laws or definitions. Imagine that you are the professor, so make yourself a True-False exam over the assigned chapter. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 14, 1957) The prospect of hearing the famous Jesse Owens as guest speaker at the Rotary club's second annual sports banquet is cause for requests for numerous advance reservations for the event, which will be held in the high school cafeteria March 26.

REPLACEMENT PART ... A plastic plate, that will replace a section of his skull, is checked for fit on Navy Machinery Repairman Allan Smith at Chelsea Naval Hospital near Boston. Smith, of Westboro, Mass., was injured in an accident aboard the U. 8. S. Proteus, and a portion of his skull had to be removed. Following the surgery, a navy dentist and a specially-trained enlisted dental technician designed and built the plastic plate. A neuro-surgeon will install the plate in the operating room, while the dentist stands by to make any final adjustments on the replacement part that may be necessary. pital, March 7.
