£ . 4»G. 4, - PLAINOEALER - WED., JULY 31, 1968 Select County Queen Aug. 1 (Continued from page 1) • One of the highlights of the fair each year, the 1968 pageant is expected to draw an over-. flow crowd. The total of thirteen candidates tops by one the previous high of twelve three years ago. "Beauty Salute to Illinois" is the theme chosen by Mrs. Lyle Kleckner, contest chairman6 to present the field of poised*, bright-eyed beauties. Many prizes will be offered, and among them will be the right to vie in the Miss Illinois County Fair contest in Springfield this January. That contest leap-frogged in prestige last week When Judi Ford, winner a year ago, captured the Miss Illinois title in the rugged path toward fame and fortune in the Miss America contest. Judi is from Belvidere and served as a judge for the county contest at ths preliminarlas held July 10. Her mother will take over her chair in the finals - Mr. and Mrs. Ford attended the preliminaries with their daughter and had a chance to become acquainted with the candidates. The field grows to thirteen this year because for the first time Algonquin is represented. Carol McLaughlin, who drew the thirteenth position in the parade before the judges, represents Algonquin this year. Late last week Don Hansen, Fair association president, and Don Peasley, coordinator for the pageant and public relations director for the entire fair, discussed alternate plans for the Miss McHenry County pageant in case rain or bad weather threatens. Action will depend on the seriousness of weather threat, the time it develops and other factors. Any change'of course will be announced at the fairgrounds but both optimistically predict "blue skies and a first quarter moon". Contestants will appear before the, judges in both swim suits and formals on the grandstand stage. At the preliminaries, the judges interviewed the candidates and saw them in swim suits and formals, but eliminated none of the thirteen. After the judges see the girls twice tomorrow night,, they will try to narrow the group to five. The finalists then will return for more questioning and finally, a decision for the winner, and a second and third. Reigning over the fun until she crowns her successor is personable Vfe.rita Froula, Miss McHenry £tain$y, who competed a year ago as Miss Crystal Lake. MINOR ACCIDENT Arthur Hagerty of 5205 W. Shore drive, Lakeland Park, lost control of his car as he drove within that subdivision at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. The car travelled over a cement culvert and knocked down a steel post, landing in a ditch in front of the John Yegge residence at 1814 N. Park lane. Mr. Hagerty told police he fell asleep. Before deciding definitely to retire -- stay home for a week and watch the daytime television shows. n teald Robert Doherty Schultz, R.Ph. R-Ph. CONDUCT POLL ON PREFERENCES OF COUNTY VOTERS Backers of Nixon, Rockefeller, Reagan, Humphrey, McCarthy and Wallace will have a chance to "put their money where their mouths are*' in a poll to be conducted at the county fair by the McHenry County Young Republicans. The reputation of these six presidential possibilities will be tested by the YRs through a poll where each vote costs one cent. The young Republicans hope that the results obtained will accurately reflect the enthusiasm that each candidate has among fair-goers. Besides the county fair booth YRs are now hard at work on their project to computerize the voter registration lists in McHenry county. Newly elected club treasurer, John Duby, is in the process of formulating a fund-raising project whose proceeds are expected to pay for most of the key punching and computer time needed. In addition, Northern Illinois university student Carolyn Lyons is in the process of laying plans for the club's annual hoi-. iday party. It is hoped that college students and fulltime county members will renew their acquaintanceships at this time. Grandstand At Fair Is Free In a major innovation this year, everything before the grandstand at the McHenry County Fair will be free! A free grandstand will be a real bonus for fair-goers, Don Hansen, Fair association president, said. In celebrating this twentieth annual McHenry County Fair, the board thought it a good way to show appreciation to the public for strong support over two decades. Included in the attractions at the grandstand will be the Rotroff all-girl daredevil show twice on Saturday; the official Sesquicentennial play; the talent contest, and of course, ona of the Fair's highlights - the Miss McHenry County Pageant on opening night, Aug. 1. Other grandstand attractions will include the 4-H Night parade; junior Olympics; Woodstock city band concert; tractor pulling contest, and harness races.- - Crown Miss Wonder Lak (Continued from page !)

' Mary Jo Gaub was selected by the other candidates as Miss Congeniality, the first year a girl has been named for this honor. The new queen will be eligible to enter the Miss McHenry County contest in 1969. The three winners and seven other contestants appeared both in formals and bathing suits. Miss DeWerdt was stunning in a white bathing suit and appeared regal in her mustardyellow and white k>ng formal, lace trimmed. She demonstrated her poise when she was asked one of the questions submitted by the contestants for an impromptu answer. Her question was: "What age do you think young people should date?" The young lady lists art, water and snow skiing* swimming, singing and ice skating among her favorite hobbies. A sophomore in McHenry high school, last year, she was active in the French club, chorus, GAA and Future Teachers. Nancy plans to major in art when she completes her high school education.

Moreover, to be entitled for unemployment compensation, a person must have worked for an employer in this state or another state who was required by law to make unemployment compensation contributions to the state. Benefits paid to a qualified person from another state come from funds of that state. Unemployment compensation is like insurance, the ISBA notes,, and benefits are paid only to those who are "covered" because they were doing "insured" work prior to their period of unemployment. In Illinois, a person ordinarily would not be covered for unemployment compensation if he worked for an employer of fewer than four persons; for a not - for-profit organization such as a university and most hospitals; for a state or local government; for a farmer who was employed by a private individual as a domestic servant. Even the person who did "insured" work ordinarily will be eligible for compensation only if he: (1) Was employed during a recent designated period. (2) Received a specified minimum amount of wages during that designated period. (3) Is physically capable of work full time. (4) Is available for, and actively seeking, full time work, and (5) Is registered for work with the Illinois State Employment Service. Finally, the person who meets the above tests still may be disqualified from receiving benefits if; (1) He quit his job voluntarily and without good cause. (2) He was discharged for misconduct connected with his work. (3) He failed to accept a job that was ottered to him without good cause. (4) A labor dispute has caused a stoppage of work at his plant. Disqualification for the first three reasons often is only temporary, and there are technicalities which may make compensation available to the person whose place of employment iproached that street irom*east on Home avenue. There are- special provisions " in the law for the woman who quits her job because of preg- For Your Automotive Needs [Community Auto Supply . . .PICNIC TIPS. . . 4.

A I What to do for vapor lock? Hie Institute for Safer Living suggests in very hot weather you carry a large thermos of ice cold water as quick first aid for this problem. Pour cool water over a cloth and wrap it around the fiiel pump and fuel line which may run close to the engine block. If you are caught in stopped traffic with the motor idling for any length of time, the probability of vapor lock can be reduced by following the manufacturer's recommendations (given in owner's' manual) to minimize the occurrence of vapor lock. Recommendation for some makes is to turn the engine off until traffic begins to move and for others to depress the gas pedal to produce a fast idle condition.
