Libns International third vice-president came in from Aimecy, France, to address the Lions at this special event. Hadjey is one of the major projects supported by the Lions out of Candy Day funds. An­ other is Leader Dogs for the Blind, Rochester, Mich. Leader Dog will receive $125,000 out of the $600,000 raised. It costs $2,$00 to. train a dog and mas­ ter and this is furnished without cost to the blind person. Next summer 300 visually handicapped children will en- < joy i two weeks' camping per­ iod at Illinois Camp Lions. Candy Day helped underwrite the $125 It takes per child per session, with $45,000 set aside for this project. Candy Day proceeds also pay for an unlimited number of sub­ scriptions to "Dialogue",rere­ corded magazine. Each sub­ scription is $50. Just recently the Lions Clubs of Illinois presented the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness with a new $30,000 mobile glaucoma screening unit. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness. In addition, cliibs give local scholarships for the young blind, buy canes, eye glasses, braille writers, and wrist watches.

Electricity and TV will do It automatically -- it's doing it in India. In the second place, you'd have TV to learn from. The birth control program here is impossible.

These people consider themselves black, and they are aU vaguely aware of black problems in the UJS. but they can't picture how it works. "Anyway, if you people can shape up my country, my life will be easier. You just can't believe how these people look to the United States as the ul­ timate in man's achievement. We have such an obligation, es­ pecially, after the moon shot, to lead the way -- they are look­ ing for it. Pm talking about the rice farmers.

They were taken to McHenry hospi­ tal by Wonder Lake rescue squad, where White was report­ ed In satisfactory condition the following morning. Congdon was treated and released. The latter told deputies he was travelling north on Won­ der Lake road when the other car came toward him in the wrong lane. Congdon said he stopped but the other auto crashed into him. He said he talked to the second driver and then called the sheriff's office. This Was the last Congdon saw of Duffey. _ In their investigation, depu­ ties learned that Duffey* s car had pulled into the yard immed­ iately after the accident and a man left the vehicle. Congdon told of walking to Duffey** house, although at the time he was unaware of the letter's i- dentity. Finding no phone, he went across the street to no­ tify the sheriff. In the mean­ time, the other driver disap­ peared. A check of the car registra- tion disclosed the owner to be Carl R. Duffey of 400 Virginia street, Crystal Lake, who was reported to be renting file Won­ der Lake home temporarily. The car was impounded until the owner and driver could be located. Randall P.

Tammeus, president of the board of directors of the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic for McHenry County, announced that the an­ nual dinner meeting will be held Wednesday, Jan. 14 at the Tim­ bers restaurant in Woodstock. Dr. Herbert Ratner, Oak Park, will be the featured speaker. Dr. Ratner, who fill speak on the subject of "Fam­ ily Life," is the director of the Oak Park Department of Public Health and editor of plomacy in his holiday note by telling us "the papers are look­ ing good", after which he got down to the real jSbint, "I miss you guyfe and your goodies at Christmas". From that point, he continued with suggestions for making each member of the staff happy, using personality traits he recalled so well even after a two-year absence. We want Ken to know we all keep reminding Photographer Wayne to "point that Mickey Mouse camera in the right di­ rection". That's why his pic­ tures are so good -- the gen­ erous advice of his friends. We miss Ken but appreciate the kind words that filled Ms Christmas card. McHenry came into the news this week through Capt. G.F. Markeson, a United Airlines pi- Child and Family Quarterly. The dinner will start at 6:30 p.m., followed by the annual re­ port of the clinic, election of members to the board of di­ rectors, and Dr. Ratner*s speech.

The company record was broken when he made the trip, with seventy passengers and a crew of ten aboard, in six hours and fifty-nine minutes. The normal flight time is eight hours.
