*L> EG. <0, SEC. 2 - PLAINPEALER - JUNE 15, 1967 Primitive Life In Malaysia Takes Corps Into "Another World u The Maruts, in traditional dress, are shown dancing to the accompaniment of the gongs. This scene represented one of many memorable experiences of Miss Ellen Clark during her two years in Malaysia. Miss Ellen Clark of 811 N. John street, McHenry, returned recently from Malaysia, where she had spent two years with the Peace Corps. Her early experiences, which included training for her work and her initial look at the country, were told in an article appearing in last week's issue. This is the second in her three-part story, telling of her arrival in the *-ural area: "We did not have to go far. A mile or two inland from the coast dense jungle covers the country, broken by serpentine rivers that twist their way through the bush. "TTie first leg of the journey was by rail, in a coal-burning car inching along at 14 miles an hour. We passed through numerous little villages where tiny palm houses stood on stilts to capture the breeze. Water r •mien 2WZ ALWAYS BEBEBBES Gifts for Fathers at... 5TTORE for MEN 1245 N.

"The women leaning over the rice stalks would smile at us from under their conical straw hats as we went by. The men always waved and flashed a mouthful of gold teeth. "The railroad threaded its way through a narrow gorge and reached its terminus. From then on we travelled by jeep and on foot, bedding down on schoolhouse floors at night. "Along the way the natives of various tribes entertained us lavishly. In one village the men demonstrated the art of killing game with deadly blowpipes. This was followed by a party at which everyone sipped rice wine from huge earthen jugs. "The rule for native hospitality is to get the visitor dri™. This does not take long. But we were dismayedto learn later that the friendly natives of that village had produced so much rice wine that year that there might not be enough rice to eat. "Drinking begets dancing and we were treated to the samazau, a dance with fluttering butterfly- like motions performed to the beat of gongs. We found this as difficult to do as the natives f<mnd the twist. ^ "A few days further into the bush we left the path to follow a riverbed to another village. The headman of the village led us into a darkened hut. Hanging from the rafters were shrunken skulls taken by the natives from their enemies in the 1930's. "Headhunting died out in that decade. It reappeared briefly during the 1940*8 when some tribes took Japanese heads. Most of the skulls have been buried at the prodding of the missionaries. "Near the end of the trip we reached mountainous country. We burned leeches off our legs with cigarettes as we sloshed through knee-high mud along the ridges. "Finally we came to the base of Mi. Kinabalu, over 13,000 Nichols Headsr- College Boards E. C. Nichols, superintendent of the Marengo high school system, was elected the firstpresldent of the McHenry County Junior college board over Cal Skinner, Sr., Crystal Lake, by a secret vote of four to two, with one person passing. Nichols was nominated by the man he defeated, while Skinner was nominated by Dr. Alex Les chuck of Harvard. Dr. J. F. Harris, Richmond, asked the question of the evening, "Can we expect to open in September?" Dr. Albert Martin, representing the State Junior college board, said he believed the board was too late, but under questioning from Skinner he revealed that the state board would probably approve the beginning of vocational and adult non-credit courses this fall, "if an administrator, teachers and students can be found." Dr. Martin also revealedthat the local board could expfect to receive a grant of $100,000 from the state in the immediate future. Under his urging the board completed an application, which Dr. Martin took back to Springfield for action by the State Junior college board on June 9. The application stated that the board proposes to start classes this fall. The length of terms of the seven newly elected members was set by drawing cards. Receiving three-year terms were Skinner of Crystal Lake, Leschuck of Harvard and Harris of Richmond. William Banker of Woodstock and Tom Parsley of Crystal Lake will be up for re-election in two years. President Nichols and Mrs. Joan Hill of Crystal Lake will face the voters again next year, if they decide to run for another term. Action taken fay the board at its first meeting included the approval and appointment of three committees. Skinner and Banker will make suggestions regarding a treasurer and a bank of deposit. Skinner, Parsley and Banker will make recommendations concerning a lawyer for the college. Hill, Leschuck and Harris were appointed to explore possible names for the college. In addition, Skinner moved; that the board employ Mrs. 1 Naomi Meyer, an unsuccessful candidate from McHenry, as stenographer. •<» USE THE CLASSIFIEDS feet.

In addition to his fee, it was necessary to buy insurance for him. We decided to forego the climb. "We had come almost full circle on our journey and it was time to scatter.
