Community, CkeM Study Xtndex^Way The Idea of establishing a Community Chest in the Mc- Henry area gains impetus with each meeting of the board of the Chamber of Commerce. In meeting Tuesday noon, President Larry Lund and Manager Carl Prosser agreed to talk to as many business people in the community as possible to obtain opinions on the subject. If a genuine interest is shown, the Chamber will proceed with plans for the establishment of such a program locally. Those not contacted are invited to express themselves by calling or writing the Chamber office. Appearing before the board were three members of the Beautification council, Mrs. Bennett Berman, Mrs. Philip Wheelock and Mrs. Edmund Cepulis, who reported on the groiq/s newest project. They spoke of the new, large urn placed on the island at the intersection of Waukegan and Green streets, which will be filled with flowers. The ladies explained that they have arranged to offer flower boxes to individual merchants at a small cost and will be able to provide for fill and plants, also at a nominal fee. Interested persons may contact Beautification council members. No details were given on the next general membership meeting, but it was announced that an industrial meeting is scheduled for sometime in July. Reporting on the membership drive, Mike Wieser said the organization had reached an all time high of 105 paid members and six more pledged. THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875; VOL. ?l - NO. 78 FRIDAY, MAY 9, -1969 16 PAGES- 10$ Council Acts On City Zoning 1 BACK BEAUTIFICATION -- On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce board, Manager Carl Prosser, left, and President Larry Lund accept the large pledge card which signifies 100 per cent support by the Chamber board in the "Take Pride in McHenry" campaign sponsored by the McHenry Beautification council. With them are Mrs. Bennett Berman, Mrs. Edmund Cepulis and Mrs. Philip Wheelock. As individual business men signify support by signing the pledge, they will be able to obtain stickers for their windows. The clean-up schedule co-sponsored by the C. of C., Beautification council and city, calls for a pick-up of items (not garbage) on the north side of Rt. 120 through May 10 and the south side of the highway from May 12 to 17. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Munn* and Meanderin' The spring clean-up program Of trash and litter on township roads is nearing completion. Over 300 hours in labor was spent to accomplish the job, costing taxpayers many hundreds of dollars. A few roads required extra attention, with employees of the Highway department engaged in the clean-up at four different times in the same areas. Township Road Commissioner Clarence Regner suggest that in the interest of saving taxpayer dollars, as well as promoting a more beautiful countryside, everyone should be alert to violations while driving. He hopes the motoring public may help in finding and reporting irresponsible littering on the highways. Those with a yen for sharing with the community are cautioned to divert their generosity to more constructive fields. A misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $200 for each violation. It was our good fortune to be in the audience at two very fine programs this past week, each of which had talented young musicians of the community as participants. The first was the Pops concert given at West campus last Friday evening and the second was a variety program at Valley View school on Tuesday. Musical-minded folks may now look forward to an operetta at Edgebrook and a musical comedy presentation at the high school next week. The great majority of those participating will be using their musical talent only as a diversion in the years ahead. Even so, the experiences gained under some very gifted and dedicated instructors who serve McHenry's public and parochial schools should provide a lifetime hobby invaluable to the students of today.

He has no recollection of anything that happened, but his friends told authorities the youths, two of whom they wer,e able to identify, proceeded to beat them and then drove away. Not realizing that their injuries were serious, Terry and his friends returned to McHenry, where the other three realized Terry was not speaking coherently. His parents took him to the hospital, where the injury was diagnosed as a concussion. Complaints were • signed by parents of two of the young people assaulted.

Walnut, Wonder Lake, in observance of Mrs. Saul's birthday. Mr. Saul had taken Scott and three other grandchildren to the pond, where the children fed the fish.

DON PEASLEY PHOTO 'Police Only' Program For Area Officers A number of police officers from the McHenry area attended a special program last week, presented by Elgin State hospitaler police only. Attending from McHenry were Chief Kenneth Espey, Patrolmen Robert Belzer, John P. Davis, Harold R. Hobbs and Daniel Kinnerk. Chief George D. Johnson and Patrolman George Watkins were present from Lakemoor and Chief Harvey Petska and Sgt. Willard Bychowski represented the Spring Grove department. The police officer is not a psychiatrist, yet he must frequently deal with emotionally disturbed people. To do this properly, the policeman needs special training. The fact that policemen know this need was illustrated by the fact that more than 650 law enforcement officers attended this program. It consisted of two films, utilizing police officers, not actors, to dramatize police work in dealing with emotionally disturbed people. "This was real straight stuff', was a comment by one patrolman after the films. Reinforcing the message in the films, a question and answer period followed the two pictures. Questions from the police were answered by staff members of the hospital. Questions ranged from admissions procedures to the proper use of restraints to best protect the disturbed person.

There were no skid marks evident. Sally, who can be seen sitting near the utility pole at far left, was uninjured. The accident occurred at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. PLAINDEALER PHOTO
