taeer Center For The Aids Young People Of Community "Coners" Group By Eve Levesque Wee Willie's has a new iinage since the building and wounds now accommodate the Soneer Center for the Exceptional. Here at 5005 W. Mc-. Cullom Lake road, young adults, 16 to 33 years of age are trained vocationally toperform tasks ^thin their capabilities. Men and women, under care- Ifijl supervision, are trained to fyrn out parts for light industry for, several large area companies^ The finished products jnust meet rigid specifications. I Hie staff at the center is headed by Robert G. Lambourn, executive director; Barbara J. Stoith,; workshop director; and Frank E. Schmidt who serves as workshop manager. These 'three work out detailed jigs, measured tables and simple machinery which is operated by the clients, so that the results of their labor is perfect. Hie clients enrolled in the Pioneer center are paid for their Work according to their individual production on a piece rate basis. The organization is licensed by the United States Department of Labor, Wage and Hour and Public Contracts division. ^The center is operated on a non-profit basis for the purpose of rehabilitating those mentally retarded individuals 16 years old and older in our county who do not qualify for the special education classes or who have completed their classroom experiences and are in need of vocational training. In tfie near future, residents of the village of McCullomLake and surrounding areas will have an opportunity to visit the center and observe the progress being made in this necessary field. In order to broaden the individual's horizon and help them adjust to society, they are also involved in a social program. Last Friday night a dance was held at the center, attended by the enrolled members and their parents. Other social activities include a singing group known as the Pioneers, and a Wednesday afternoon bowling class at nearby alleys. In the near future the center hopes to sponsor a swimming class for the clients. Wee Willie's which was formerly a recreational center for children and adults who had other sources for entertainment closed in November, 1966. It re-opened as the Pioneer center in May, 1968, after being housed in a one-room building in Terra Cotta.

MINOR CRASHES INVESTIGATED BY CITY POLICE Several minor accidents were investigated by city police this past week. Judith Walsh Smith of Main street and George S. Marcotte of Eastwood lane, both McHenry, were parked in front of meters on Green street. Marcotte, in backing out, ftiisjudged the distance and struck the left rear of the other car. In another accident, Marguerite Lamb of Crystal Lake, and John T. Colomer of Wilmot road, McHenry, were traveling west on Rt. 120. The Lamb vehicle, in the wrong lane of traffic, made a left turn onto Green street from Elm and struck the other car, causing damage to both autos. - Elizabeth K. Fiala of E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, stalled to turn west to north into the parking lot of the McHenry Shopping Plaza when the rear of her car was struck by an auto driven by Thomas R. Jones of Ringwood road, McHenry. Richard Hahndort of W. Bonner drive, McHenry, travelling north on Crystal Lake road, was waiting for traffic to move at the intersection with Rt. 120. He then attempted to make a left turn onto the highway, but saw an approaching car, stopped and then forgot that there was a car to his left, driven by Marvin J. Leanna of Woodstock. Hahndorf turned too short and struck the other auto, causing damage to both. Two cars collided on N.Green street, in an unusual manner. Dr. Peter H. Griesbach of W. Clover avenue, McHenry, was parked on the north side of the parking lot, facing north, and the auto of Joan M. Bauer of W. Skyway drive, McHenry, was parked in the center, facing southwest.

EAST CAMPUS MUSICIANS GO TO BAND DAY (Continued from page 1) spectacular and colorful half time show at the N.U. vs. U of Southern California game in Dyche Stadium. A crowd of 45,000 is expected. This is the thirteenth consecutive year the MCHS band has attended Band Day, of only five school musical aggregations to claim the distinction of having been a part of this special day since its beginning. Previous local bands have attended under the direction of the late Paul R. Yanda and John Leighty who now heads the west campus band. After two weeks of local preparation and rehearsal, the band will travel by bus to Evanston on the morning of the game where bandsmen, directors and wives, drivers and adult chaperones will be the guests of the university for the day. A morning session will be devoted to an intensive 2% hour massed band rehearsal of music and formations. In addition, there will be special clinics for drum majors and twirlers, and a marching-playing demonstration specially prepared for the high school students by the nationally renowned 140-piece Northwestern University "Wildcat" marching band. Band day was originated at Northwestern by John P. Paynter, director of bands, and details for this year's event were under the direction of Frederick Miller, assistant director of bands. Dr. Raymond F. Dvorak, recently retired director of bands at the university of Wisconsin, will be conductor of 'Men of Wisconsin March', 'The Pilgrim's Chorus from Tannhauser". Miller will direct the massed band in "Goin' Out Of My Head". The half-time program will conclude with Paynter conducting 'Danny Boy' and the Northwestern university "Alma Mater". The average man knows his business, even if he can't convince his neighbors. Fellowships For $20,000 Honors Howard Phalin (Continued from page 1) at each of four universities: DePaul, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Roosevelt. The Foundation has been financed by contributions from sales managers and sales representatives throughout the world, from Mr. Phalin's friends and associates in the business and civic community, and from personal friends and from the corporation itself and its parent organization, Fiel d Enterprises, Inc. Presidents of the four universities and of the Foundation called it "A lasting tribute to the magnificent contribution that Howard Phalin has made to the. cause of education, and a constant reminder of the esteem and admiration in which hevis held everywhere. A varied assembly of friends and business associates, representing the many aspects of his own varied career, gathered at historic Auditorium theater for the final business session of the twentieth annual International Achievement conference to pay a tribute to Phalin, whose retirement becomes official Sept. 30. He expects to remain active in other business pursuits as well as devoting time to St. Francis hospital board, Evanston, to Mercy hospital board, Chicago, and to Catholic Charities, Chicago. He was cited for heading a $9,200,000 fund raising drive for Mercy hospital.

STATI FARM INSUIANCI STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY/Hem Offer Gr on 1212 W. Green Street Phone 385-1627 Judy was shocked when her 3 children vehemently opposed my buying a new automobile just like the one their daddy recently purchased. But note what they said when she quizzed them for their reasons. Dads, you can earn $1,000 per week, yet be a poor father, unless you rate high on the test below! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D„ M.D. CASE G-593: Debby, aged 7, is our daughter* s youngest child. Her daddy had enthusiastically been urging us to buy a new car just like the one he, had recently acquired. * "But we don't want Grandpa to buy a car like ours," Debby protested, and was vehemently joined by Peter and Matthew, aged 8 and 9. "For then Pd never be able to pass a driver's test when I grow up. Her mother was surprised at this unanimous veto of my getting the same brand of automobile as theirs. "Debby, I thought you liked Daddy's new car," her mother inquired. "So why don't you want Grandpa to buy one just like it?" CONSUMER POLLS Debby's strange attitude helps vindicate the value of consumer polls! And it may seem strange until you get some additional facts. When the children visit us at the farm, they like to take turns at sitting on my lap and steering my heavier automobile. But the preceding Sunday when their Daddy was taking them home from Sunday School, they observed him from the side. "And the steering wheel touched his tummy", Debby tearfully told her mother. "So if Grandpa had a car like ours, there would be no room on his lap for us and we'd never get to drive Gr antra's car anymore!" When Judy gave us these facts over the telephone, I told her t^he could reassure the children. > For I was keeping my heavier car, so they could still take turns sitting on my lap and steering the older car. They clapped their hands in glee when they learnedthis fact, so all was well in their household again. When our five Crane children were little, I would also let them steer my automobile, while seated on my lap. Thus, they learned tokeepthe machine in the proper lane and avoid weaving around from the midline to the ditch. As they grew tall enough to reach the floor I would let them steer and use the accelerator, too, although, I always kept my foot on the brake pedal and held one hand ready to grasp the wheel. "Did I do a good job?" Peter will now invariably inquire after he has taken his turn. And I will praise his driving, as well as that of Matthew and Debby. "I did better than Matthew, didn't I, Grandpa?" he will gloat for Peter is the middle child and very competitive. If Matthew would let the car drift to the right side where it would get off the pavement and upon the berm, Peter would county each such error. "I got off only (Mice but Matthew did it twice," he would boast. Although it takes time and patience, parents or grandparents should help tutor children in swimming, driving a car, riding a bicycle, batting a ball, fishing and other laudable activities. Many a dejected boy stands on the sidelines because his daddy failed to play "catch" with him or pitch to him long enough for him to learn to bat the ball fairly well. Dads, you can earn $1,000per week, yet still be a poor father! So send for my 200 point "Rating Scales for Parents", enclosing a long stampfed, return envelope, plus 20 cents.

An electric dryer can cost you as much as $40 less than a gas dryer. Once you plug it in, your electric dryer will cost you less than 30^ a week.* Subtract that from the $40 it's possible to save in the first place, and you'll be paid-up for years ahead. (That's called practical economics.) Meanwhile, your electric dryer keeps giving your laundry the same gentle, radiant heat it would get from the sun. With at least one added advantage: every day is sun-day. Any machine that can save laundry for a rainy day (and let you bank on sunshine) ought to be worth a fortune. And it is. It just doesn't cost a fortune. Commonwealth Edison Company 'Bated on actual use by a cross-section of Chicagoland families. new ideas © c. E. Co. I
