Team Teaching In Vietnam (Continued from page 1) Vietnam is 19, and for many it is their first real stay away from home. The Clubmobile programs mean these young men may temporarily forget the war through participation in some recreational activity^-- and perhaps chat leisurely a few moments with a real American girl. Sandy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo H. Krumme, 2805 South River road, McHenry, is a 1967 graduate of Illinois State university at Normal and a long time'resident of Crystal Lake. While on campus, she was a member of Mu Alpha Theta honorary math society, Kappa Delta Pi honorary education, society arid Delta Phi Alpha honorary German fraternity. A double major in math and German, Sandy arrived in Washington, D. C., for training at American National Red Cross headquarters and met her team partner, who has quite similar interests, in the same training class. „ USING SKILLS Sandy first used her skills in creative "recreation'! on her freshman and sophomore math classes where some of-her daily lesson plans called fqr mathematical bingo, mathematical tic-tac-toe, and the use of other basic forms of recreation to add an interesting and challenging touch to her methods of teaching. Why would two American girls with a comfortable stateside existence choose to work and live in the dust and heat of South Vietnam? For Sandy and Rosemary, it was a desire to serve their country, and to show their support for the men in the military who are serving. The'girls arrived in Vietnam Sept. 23 to begin their one-year tours of duty as Red Cross C lubmobile workers. There are currently more than 110 young women, all recent college graduates, who are travelling over 26,000 miles a month to help maintain the morale of some 244,000 U. S. servicemen stationed here. Serving in groups of two or three at U. S. military bases throughout Vietnau, the Red Cross staff also operates stationary recreation centers where off-duty servicemen can gather to read, listen to music, have a game of cards,.play pool or ping-pong. , "The men are wonderful," Sandy said. "Their response shows they really enjoy the programs. You have to talk to a fellow before you realize how lonely it 4s for him over here. And if you run into the same man a few weeks later, he'll say 'You know, I met you at -- and I really appreciated your talking to me.' It's hard to know what to say to a guy who comes up just to tell you he's glad you're here," she said. . TOUCH OF HOME The girls with their large weather-worn olive-green canvas bag of program props and paperback books, are transported by the military out to the field in helicopters, trucks and jeeps. Sometimes they must go part way on foot to visit, men in some of the outlying units, they take with them a smile, a word of encouragement, and touch of "home" to the lonely, war-Weary servicemen. Sandy and Rosemary work an average of seventy-eight hours,, a week, planning and presenting their program activities and sometimes serving hot coffee or kool aide. It's similar to the ,fun of a big family gathering or a Saturday evening party back home. There may be only five PMA MANAGER SEES GOOD YEAR FOR DAIRY FARMERS C ontinued from page 1) tar,> -treasurer, Mrs. Ferol Tomlinson, McHenry; re-districting committeeman, Norman E* Heinrich, Crystal Lake; alternate re-districting committeeman, Douglas Shanks, Rt. 2, Mundelein; resolutions committeeman, Ferdinand F. Dahle, Rt. 1, Walworth, Wis.; alternate resolutions committeeman, Richard Beers, Perkins road, Harvard; and intercooperative relations committeeman, Ralph Nichols. Avery A. Vose, district director, Rt. 2, Antioch, was re-elected last year to a two-year term. In his address before an audience of 200, PMA General Manager McWilliams said the recent actions taken by the former Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman to extend the dairy support price program through the marketing year beginning April 1 and to maintain Class I (bottled) milk order prices at current levels-on 67 federal order markets through April 30, 1970, will help dairy farmers off to a good start in 1969, McWilliams said producer milk prices improved in 1968 for several reasons. These included closer cooperation among producer cooperatives in marketing milk and bargaining for superpool returns, the trend toward mergers of federal milk marketing orders, and the j|£actey pool which member ^rop^se Fleck \ New Director (Continued from page 1) Kiwanis, and is a member of its agriculture and conservation committee which sponsors the 4-H king and queen celebration at the fair. Fleck became a cooperator of the SWC district when, four years ago, he had two ponds constructed on his properly. The one-half acre pond has bluegills and bass and the other, a 50 foot diameter, bluegills, bass and rainbow trout. Tile lines were put in to drain extra water from the fields into the ponds. Also Fleck was one of the property owners who cooperated in the project to straighten out Boone Creek. Fleck is also a member of the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Audubon society, a director of the Lake Region YMCA, a director of the Mental Health and Family Services clinic, and a member of the lay committee of the Crystal Lake Outdoor Education center. Reports of the 1968 tree planting program will be given. This program is so successful that the district purchased a forest type planter which will be in service in 1969 along with the other planting equipment already in use. Highlights of the district program for 1968 will be reviewed and a slide tour of specific achievements will be presented by Louis Englebrecht, farm advisor, and Clayton Bruce, technician with the district. Reservations .should be made immediately by calling the district office 338-0049. Those unable to attend the dinner should come later for the ^business meeting and program. men, or as many as 160 may gather around to take part.r~*Ibrganizations of Associated Although the groups are of-| Dairymen, Inc. set up to proten larger than her high school® vide orderly marketing of milk classes, and the hours certainly longer, Sandy has found her job to be an interesting transformation from the front of her comfortable, well-lit classroom to the heat and rain of South Vietnam. For Rosemary who wanted "a different kind of work experience," the smiles of the men are a constant reminder of the importance of her job-- and of the chance she wanted "to do something" that really mattered." The average man hopes his lean years are behind him--the average woman hopes hers are ahead of her. in the midwest and southwest. McWilliams stressed several points which dairy farmers must concentrate upon in 1$69 as follows: * 1„ Congress must enact legislation to place permanent curbs on most dairy imports so that our own dairy products will not be pushed off the market. President Johnson's Jan. 6proclamation placing more dairy products under Section 22 import controls cannot be expected to stop permanently excessive quantities ofdairy products being imported into this country. 2. The standby pool must be made a part of the marketing agreements act and should be administered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 3. New advertising techniques must be considered to increase sales of milk and dairy products. 4. Farmers themselves must work together to achieve mergers of dairy farmer cooperatives. 5. New milk pricing plans must be studied. A plaque was presented by District President Ralph Nichols Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Mathison of Hebron as the outstanding young couple of PMA District 6 in 1968. A thirty-five year PMA membership pin was presented by Avery A. Vose, PMA president and District 6 director, to Raymond Olbrich, Rt. 1, Harvard. This recognition will also be given to Cornelius Callahan, Rt. 1, Harvard; Clinton E. Martin, Rt. 4, McHenry; and Leonard Snudden, Rt. 1, Hebron. Presented twenty-five year PMA membership pins were Milton Pflaum,Rt. 1, Walworth, Wis., and Russel Rudolph, Rt. 1, Spring Grove, 111. This recognition will also be given to Harold Davis, Sharon, Wis.; Earl Harvey Harm, Rt. 1, Spring Grove, La Verne Kleckner, Rt. 3, Harvard, Harold Lahman, Harvard, and Herbert R.

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER On Highway 31 South of Main Street - McHenry, Illinois Phone 385-1424 SCHOOL BOARD IN ACTIVE SESSION (Continued from page 1) William FYoehlich of Crystal Lake, auditor for both District 15 and 156, appeared with two representatives of the National Cash Register Co. and recommended that procedures be brought up to date through purchase of much needed equipment. It was pointed out that by paying $2,000 a year, an actual savings could be realized over the amount expended on clerical help, considering the fact that the amount of bookkeeping work is increasing. The present machine was purchased eight years ago and was a rebuilt model at that time. Tentative acceptance of a bid submitted by General Electric Co., was accepted,pending the arrival of other bids which will be welcomed for the purchase of equipment for the home economics department. The firm of Lee & Ray Electric was accepted on a low bid of $43,000 to bring the East campus up to life safety requirements. The bid was $15, 000 lower than the next, furnished by an outside firm. The board agreed to the establishment of mini-courses, short term classes to be held at West campus and taught on a volunteer basis by teachers, without additional compensation. One will be an auto mechanics class for girls and a cooking class for boys. Principal Gerald Fain of West campus pointed out that a similar mini-course in music appreciation at East campus had proved very popular. Members appointed James Althoff and Donald Howard as a committee to look into the matter of resolving inequities in the salary schedule. The board adopted a policy relating to smoking on school premises. The first offense brings a school suspension for three days; second offense, out of school suspension until parents are brought in followed by three days in school suspension. The third offense means out of school suspension for seven days and notification of parents. School board members may be notified to bring expulsion proceedings. Parents will be requested to keep students at home. The fourth offense means automatic expulsion. Musin9 and Meanderin (Continued from page 1) no more than a one-mile drive almost any direction out of McHenry. Road crews have attempted to patch up the most prominent ruts, but the task seems endless and next to impossible if one hopes to reach any degree of perfection. Looks like Mother Nature is ganging up on Mr. Ogilvie even before he's had time to hang up his hat! Next week Thursday is D-Day in McHenry county --- that zero hour set aside by the Public Building committee of the county board to vote on the recommendation of architects employed to conduct another survey before suggesting a court house site location. Enthusiasm heightened this week when Harvard Supervisor William Ward issued a special invitation to the Woodstock City Council to be present, adding that the board, really needed them -- their opinions and their criticisms. From rumors circulating hereabouts in recent weeks, the presence of the City Council will only add to the festive occasion when the big secret reveals what almost everyone "in the know" believes will be a recommendation of the Annex site. It is a publicised fact that the architect will present information on all six sites, but that county officials and employees favor the architect's plans. Talk about an anti-climax - this is it! All of the drama of a first rate mystery seems to have been lost even to the casual observer. We might suggest that Mr. Ward start wooing, instead of the Woodstock City Council, the board of supervisors, and if that is successful, the general public. It just happens that any bond issue is going to need a good amount of support. FRI. JAN. 24, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 11 An excellent way to kill time is to work it to death. All of us need a fan. club, even if it consists of only one YMCA IN SIXTH ANNUAL MEETING^ (Continued from page 1) Region YMCA. Recognition will be made of the board members who are returning this year. They include Mrs. Harriet Johnston of McHenry. A series of rare treats is in store for the group when the entertainment is presented. After musical entertainment, a movie showing events at the YMCA's very successful summer day camp conducted at the Woodstock Park will be shown, and a judo exhibition will be conducted. The YMCA is delighted to announce the featured speaker for the occasion will be William T„ Branham, executive vice-president #and director of sales for Field Enterprises, who will Speak on the unusual and fascinating subject of "Myths and Mysteries." "Subject matter for the presentation will be the facts and fantasies of such mysteries as "The Abominable Snowman" and "The, Loch Ness Monster." All in all! the sixth annual meeting'of tRek\ Lake Region YMCA premises a full evening with a variety of activity planned,to tempt the palates, inform, educate, and entertain those present. member. This column many times has convinced us that our club was that kind, and this week we were saddened to lose that No. 1 fan in death. Others knew her as Mrs. Glenn Robison -- to us she was just Aunt Florence. Sending her a copy of the paper usually had a partly selfish motive, for regardless of how inconsequential our comments were that particular issue, she always hastened to assure us it was her favorite part of the paper arid she always read it first. We never ceased to enjoy her recollections of a long teaching career in the one-room country school of fond memory, where she was teacher, principal, counselor and custodian, all wrappedJnto one very efficient person. There was a gleam in her eye and a pride in her voice as she brought to mind particular youngsters she had guided to maturity with a firm hand in the right place, always tempered with a kind reminder that it • was for their own good. It was a special source of pleasure to her when they would return with a thank-you, long after they had outgrown those small desk seats that, of necessity, served first and eighth graders alike. In our book she was among those very special folks who pass through life relatively unheralded, ttyeir spirits buoyed by giving so much to others. It is our firm conviction that God alone has His rewardo As - long as we pen our thoughts weekly through this column, we will often stop and wonder how it would have been judged by that No. 1 fan. K.A.F. SANDRA SENTER WILL TOUR WITH TALENTED TEENS (Continued from page 1) ompanied by teachers and chaperones. For her rendition of " What The World Needs Is Love", Miss Senter, in her audition, received a $100 scholarship to apply on the cost of the trip, which is paid by the students. With emphasis on the purpose of their travels as a goodwill tour, George F. Koehnke, president of the Talented Teen Foundation, said character is as important as talent. Now employed as a secretary for Kiwanis International, Chicago, Sandra finds time for her favorite hobby, singing, and is a member of the McHenry Choral, club. She also plays the piano and organ. Her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Crick, reside at McCullom Lake. CITY PROPOSES LAKELAND PARK AREA PROJECT ' (Continued from page 1) Efforts to, collect parking meter violations have resulted in many persons paying rather than face a notice to appear. The city officials have taken the stand that it is unfair to allow some to accumulate tickets and ignore notices while most people pay their tickets promptly. Removal of snow from sidewalks in both business and residential areas is still of great concern. Failure of some property owners and tenants to clear their walks has been bringing complaints. The council is appealing for cooperation. GUILTY VERDICT *. GIVEN ON CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT I Richard E.
