'• • ' . s SEVERAL MINOR CRASHES OCCUR WITHIN CITY Several minor accidents were reported this week by city police. A ; car driven, by Gregory Brda of 3105 W. Crescent avenue, McHenry, north-bound on Front street, and another driven by Gustaf E. Krantz of Crystal Lake collided Sunday. Policy said the latter was driving East on Elm street, approached the intersection and stopped. A truck parked near the corner prevented Krantz from seeing the other car approaching and making a left turn. A car driven by Conrad A. Zetterberg of 801 N. Lillian street, McHenry, rolled out onto * the highway from a service station at 3602 W. Elm street and struck the west-xu id vehicle of James G.Luckenbill of Round Lake. In another accident, Janice R. Fisher of 7601 Cedar road Wondar Lake, parked in the Landmark school lot with parking brake set, rolled out of the lot and struck the car of Ginger R.

Shore drive, McHenry, was travelling west on Rt. 120, another auto driven by Ellenor M. Foerster of 3014 Mourine lane, McHenry, in turning left on Rt. 120, pulled in front of the other vehicle. Kenneth A. Lindquist of West Dundee was west-bound in the center lane on Front street when a car driven by Roy O. Postle- Wait of Rt. 1, McHenry, pulled but of a driveway and turned left. Lindquist told police he was unable to stop on the wet pavement resulting in a collision of the two vehicles. Mrs. Nancy Seisser of Wood- .stock and her infant daughter ."were treated at McHenry hospital Tuesday afternoon following a crash three miles south of McHenry on south River road. The driver told deputies she ; looked away from the road mo- 1 meritarily when the baby made a noise and in that short period the car left the road and turned over in a ditch.

He was charged with Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) and non-planners also benefit is the familiar tale of the drone and the workers. So a word of appreciation is in order for those who extend their efforts beyond their own personal business interest for the good of the city. Twice Told Tales The impressiveness of last Saturday's Veteran's Day tribute on the Legion grounds was marred only by the fact that many young people in the crowd failed to salute the flag as it was raised. One participant in the program said that she failed to see one salute from this age group, adding that some of their parents also merely looked on. It would seem that a general effort would be in order in schools, and particularly in the home, to acquaint young people with the importance of our flag. Only if parents are impressed with the need for loyalty to the flag will children develop the same feeling. The value of common sense, known familiarly as horse sense by the old timers, becomes increasingly more valuable even as formal education increases. We thought the following story was particularly timely: A research director of a major agency was ordered to prepare a study of fleas. He put a flea on his desk and trained it to jump over his fingers at his command. Then he pulled out two of the flea's legs. "Jump", he ordered and the flea still jumped. Two more legs came off. Again the flea jumped. Finally he pulled off the last two. "Jump", he commanded. The flea did not move. With that, the director wrote his report: "When a flea loses all six legs, it becomes deaf." K.A.F. AWARD WINNER The Illinois Agricultural association (state-wide Farm Bureau*) paid tribute last Monday evening to the leading county Farm Bureaus and individuals who provided outstanding service during 1967 in helping Illinois farmers reach goals they have set for themselves and their organizations.

DINNER DANCE SUCCESS A capacity crowd attended the annual dinner dance for the Mental Health Center for McHenry County last Thursday evening, enjoying continuous entertainment from 6:30 to midnight, including two dance bands. A full 100 percent of the proceeds will be for general uses of the center. Officers and members were appreciative of the fine support given this annual event. failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. The auto, travelling east, left the road and struck a telephone pole, a street sign and several posts. The driver said he was not aware of what happened.

Queen Morgan LeFay, the scheming, black-hearted woman, will send shivers up and down you when you witness Cindy Freund in this role. Her villainous partner is none other than the magician Merlin. Sylvia Helm portrays this part so realistically that you will probably have trouble sleeping afterward. Sandy and Elaine are two very charming young ladies of the court, and they are very charmingly played by Mary Santi and Kathy Becker. Ray Mettelka, as Hank Bennett, the Connecticut Yankee, has mastered a difficult and screamingly funny role, and you will be delighted with his antics. Marion, his sister, is breezily and happily played by Nancy Kramer, and Mrs. Bennett, the harrassed mother, of Hank, is handled expertly by Sue Mc- Clarey. Clarence, the mischievous page boy, is played with a great deal of vigor by Perry Moy, while Rory Marshall and Bob Potter show how they would have been very excellent knights of old in the roles of Sir Sagramor and Sir Launcelot.
