Unti, Jr., son of the senior Untis of McHenry, was recently named one of five winners in the contest to design an Illinois sesquicentennial stamp. His design and those of the other four were selected from more than 1,400 entries and winners werepresentedata press conference. Each winner was introduced and given a check for $500. The designs will now be taken to Washington, D.C., and given to the citizens' stamp advisory committee. If one of the five is accepted, the designer will be awarded up to an additional $1,000. The selected design may be modified by the bureau of engraving and printing artist, but , cannot be changed substantially. The designs and perhaps the twenty honorable mentions will be exhibited at COMPEX 1967 in the court of honor. The tenth annual show will be held May. 26 to 28 in the LaSalle hotel. Mr. Unti's design carried the likeness of Abraham Lincoln. Musin' & Meanderin (continued from page 1) ones can take their place. Most of us feel we are kept pretty busy these days. Then maybe we will feel better to realize thbt cm a twenty-four hour basis our police department is also maintaining a rather vigorous schedule of activity. During the month of April, for instance, 274 folks stopped at the counter in the city hall for general information, ninetyone Of them just for directions (jffr<j&umably in some other way than the nearby jail). In addition, there were 554 telephone calls on general information and forty-one of these were also for directions. Knowing (hit d€£>k men, they refrained from a fatetious answer. "Then there were more important duties to perform. For instance, they apprehended twenty-one speeders who inadvertently stepped heavily on the gas pedal in view of the officer; also arrested nine juveniles, three of whom were runaways, six for theft and three taken to the youth home. Other miscellaneous business included investigation of ten thefts under $150, stolen cars and bicycles, nine burglaries, twelve dog calls, lost drivers' licenses, lost license •: plates and even one in the category of health and rodent complaint. During the thirty-day period, the squad cars travelled a total of 8,111 miles, assisted on seventeen fire calls and as escorts for ten funerals. The newspaper business, at least in McHenry, has been in- , creasingly hectic of late, but FULL TUITION SCHOLARSHIP TO McHENRY STUDENT A McHenry youth is among nine to win Roosevelt university competitive scholarships and receive full tuition for the 1967-68 year.

Man's freedom to be himself is a God-given right. But no one can truly be himself as long as he believes he is the product of heredity, age, enw&nment or psychological factors, says an experienced Christian Science practitioner and lecturer. Man's true identity, asserts Jane 0. Robbins, C.S., is found through the recognition of himself as the likeness of God. You and your friends are invited to hear "Freedom to be Yourself" by Miss Robbins, a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

For a time, Klontz* condition was considered serious, but he was later revived and taken to McHenry hospital. All efforts to revive Paul proved to be futile.

Director will be Mrs.. Lu Pierce, who served in that capacity last year. She is well experienced and served as speech therapist in Woodstock school systems. The second speech therapist will be secured soon, it is announced by Robert Steffi, R.P.T., executive director of the Easter Seal Therapy center. The two evaluation dates of May 27 and June 10 have been completely filled so it was found advisable to hold another evaluation date Saturday, June 3, at the Therapy center. SET APPOINTMENT Any parents who. wish a speech and hearing evaluation for their child with consideration for speech therapy this summer may call the Easter Seal Therapy center in Woodstock and schedule an appointment for apre-clinic examination. Last year approximately 1,700 speech lessons were given, as well as the examinations during the summer session. Some of the problems encountered include cleft palate, cerebral palsy, muscular distrophy, speech and articulation. Also language retardation, aphasia, hard of hearing, stuttering, and voice. All grade school systems and speech therapists in McHenry county have been notified by mail of the summer speech program; however, it is impossible for the information to reach all of those who might need this inic Peter could understand world problems and the function of the United Nations when it was put in sirrfple terms. But a lot of statesmen can't communicate even with adult voters because they fail to use proper analogies and short words. So send for the advertising booklet below. It will also help clergymen and doctors, teachers and the U. N. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M. D. CASE C-555: Peter, aged 6, is our daughter Judy's second oldest. "Mamma," he inquired, "why did we send soldiers far away to Viet Nam to fj[ght? "And are the Communists the bad guys." * STRAIGHT TALK Judy first reminded Peter . that the Communists include bad people ojUrarious races. "There are American Communists," she began, "as well as Cuban and Chinese and Russian Communists. "So you must not imagine that any color or race of people are automatically Communists. "But the Communists are bad. They kill and steal and shoot down children and mothers, as well as grown men." "Yes, Mamma," Peter replied, "but why did we send our soldiers far away?" To which Judy replied as follows: "Well, suppose some robbers broke into the house here at the end of our block and killed people. "Would you call the police then or wait till they had broken into our own house?" Peter instantly said he'd call the police as soon as he knew they had attacked even the house at the far end of their block. To which Judy then replied that our soldiers are simply acting like world policemen, trying to help the little countries, far, far away when Communists invade, destroy the villages and enslave the people. Judy's analogy of the robbers type of assistance so the news media has been asked to cooperate anil release the information. breaking into the house down the block, deserves a gold stair. It shows the art of explaining things so a child can understand. The trouble with many'sincere statesmen is their inability to talk the language of the average American. Thus, demagogues with great sales savvy, have been able to hoodwink Americans till they have been selling their birthright. Remember the Indians on Manhattan Island who bartered away their children's heritage for a few dime store beads? Those childlike Indians were so enamoured of the tinsel and glitter that they didn't look ahead to the future. ^ Politicians thus are usually super salesmen of shoddy merchandise. Statesmen have the better merchandise but don't know how to sell it! At first glance, for example, generous Americans nodded assent when Congress shipped 200 million bushels of free wheat to India. Then India demanded that we even pay the shipping charges on this free food! Later, we learned that EVERY YEAR the rats in India consume 875 million bushels of cereal grain! So our 200 million bushels of wheat didn't furnish even onefourth of the rats' menu! And India will not kill the rats lest Grandpa be running around in that shape in his reincarnation! They also let 200 million cattle ravage their crops and also refuse to let the destructive hordes of monkeys be harmed. So send for my booklet on "Streamlined Advertising Strategy," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents and learn how to talk turkey! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) USE THE CLASSIFIEDS HI Jr T TO SUMMER This is the weekend of the firemen's dance in McHenry-- an excellent opportunity to show our appreciation to these men for their twenty-four hour protection of our community throughout the year. Plan to stop at the V.F.W. clubhouse that evening and aid a really worthwhile cause. k * xr ON TOUR . . .
