Eight Grades To Open The new Montini school, which includes both St. Mary's and St. Patrick's parishes, will open with grades 1 through 8 next Call. That was the deter­ mination of the board at a spe­ cial meeting held Wednesday evening, July 29, in St. Pat­ rick's church hall. After re-registration figures were presented by the school Sisters in charge of the pro­ gram, and with consideration of the additional income that would be realized by the higher tuition rates, the favorable vote took place. Seventh and eighth grades will operate on a shared time basis with the Junior high school as they have during the past few years. Considering the revenue available from each parish, the additional income that will be realized from tuition fees, and the proposed budget for the school year, it was decided that the school could still func­ tion within 65 per cent of the total parish income Which Bish­ op O'Neill allowed for educa­ tional purposes. This 65 per cent figure also includes the amount of money committed to Marian Central Catholic high school for educational pur­ poses. The re-registration listed 370 children returning from St. Mary's church, twenty-three who will not, and four from whom there was no reply. At St. Patrick's, there were 308 (Continued on page 5) THE SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875 VOLUMN 94 - NUMBER 107 FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1970 12 PAGES - 10 CENTS Propose % m Hie subject of the current breed of movies comes for discussion often, and invariably objections are voiced by per­ sons who fear for moral de­ cadence because of their in­ fluence. Although some people defend treatment of the subject mat­ ter on the grounds that either "it is necessary to portray life as it exists" or that "it is a form of artistic expres­ sion", seldom are there argu­ ments that an unhealthy sit­ uation does not exist. One would think that where there is quite general agree­ ment, changes would be forth­ coming. Not so, and the ans­ wer is pretty evident to every­ one--the businessman offers to the public only what will sell. It isn't necessary to point to a metropolitan area to find reason for complaint. Right here in McHenry county there are several examples of the merchant doing what is neces­ sary to stay in business. In one thriving county city the theatre manager felt he was dealing with a public which would appreciate the type of movie the entire family could attend. lie showed them con­ sistently, and with the same consistency his theatre was vir­ tually abandoned. As a matter of survival, he found it necessary to secure A<Xm movies, showing them late it night following a strictly family type film. ft is our understanding that this practice still continues, tout the response makes it doubt­ ful that the double offering will made indefinitely. A newspaper writer in that lunity, interested in learn- how the venture was far- Mi. stopped at the theatre one evening. The manager told her, With no little disappointment, mt the same night seventeen p#eple attended a family-type fAirly showing, the theatre was dfeput ten under its capacity for tip* "X" film. As you look at the next mar­ quee and shake your head, don't blame the theatre manager. He ha# been influenced by every gefeet purchase, and if yours k§S been even one of them, you have contributed to the very thing you are condemning. When Mom and Pop sit through such movies in the belief that "it can't hurt us" -1--and when they shut their eyes as they drop offtheyoung­ sters at the theatre -- they are •only fooling themselves. K.A.F. Set Hearing Dates In Smith Murder Charge Mark Smith, accused of the murder of Jean Ann Lingen- felter last May 27, made his second appearance before Jud­ ge William Carroll in Circuit Court Wednesday of this week.

It was Robert Putnam, prin­ cipal of the new Parkland school, who spoke enthusias­ tically of Ms research study on the subject of accountabil­ ity as it concerns the progress of the schools and students.

Seurer, Chicago, told county police that he and his wife were boating on Wonder Lake when a speed boat ran into their craft, causing it to sink. Mr. and Mrs. Wachowe and a 7-year-old girl, Rita Walter, received minor injuries and cuts on the head. The driver of the other boat, George Bren- nenstuhl of Oak Park, said that he and Wachowe had made ar­ rangements to take care of the matter. All the injured were taken to McHenry hospital, where they were treated and released. Cynthia Moore of 708 Phea­ sant trail, McHenry, was ser­ iously injured Monday evening about 10 o'clock in a one-car accident which occurred on Howe road, near Wonder Woods drive in Wonder Lake. No state­ ment was taken from the driver at the scene due to her con­ dition. From evidence at the scene it appeared she was un­ familiar with the road and did not see the sharp curve in time to slow. Her car left the road and hit a steep ditch, rolled over and slid into the field and came to rest on its wheels. She was taken to McHenry hos­ pital by ambulance for treat­ ment. A traffic citation was issued to Stephen James Krier of 3512 W. Biscayne avenue, McHenryr for limitations on overtaking on the left after an accident on. W. Waukegan road near aperfc- ing lot entrance. The accident occurred Thursday afternoon about 5:30. The other driver, Linda L. Blake of 617 S. Lily Lake road, McHeinfr, takhshe was east-bound and signaled for a left turn into a parking lot entrance. Krier, east-bound behind her, had started to pass on the left and failed to see the signal until it was too late to avoid contact with her car.

The program if adopted, would cost about $5,000 a year, including an initial $500 to join the service, $1,100 as an an­ nual fee and $.95 per student. The board listened to the pro­ posal and members said they would study it further. The second program was set forth by James Lawrence, bus­ iness manager, who explained his ideas on a planned program budgeting system. The plan would call for coop­ eration by teachers and admin­ istrators in anticipating budget­ ing needs. The purpose is to propose long range changes so that costs could be included in the budget over a period of years. Russell Cooper, at present a high school teacher in Mc­ Henry, was named principal of Landmark school, director of special projects for District 15 and director of Older A- mericans.

Thursday, July 30, marked the close of Head Start class­ es in the McHenry community, highlighted by the distribution of diplomas, a program for par­ ents and the serving of re­ freshments. This year, for the first time, Head Start had its base of operations in the Johns- burg school rather than the white kindergarten building on Waukegan road, McHenry. Among activities which leave pleasant memories for the many youngsters enrolled was a visit to the home of Dairy Princess Beverly Dimon. Her father, Alan Dimon, took the delighted children on a tourof his dairy farm and topped off the exciting morning with a ride on a hay wagon. Instructors believe one of the main purposes of the programs has been well fulfilled in these summer classes. This was showing the youngsters that a school situation is not neces­ sarily an unpleasant exper­ ience; that learning can be a joy; and that adult authority exists to help the child get the most out of life. The children shown in these photographs are students at the Johnsburg center, under the di­ rection of teachers, Cathy Mc­ Millan and Judy Irwin. Tea­ cher aides have been Mrs. Mary Gebbia and Marilyn Jensen. A (Continued on page 5) Lunch time is always the most important part of the day in any school.

Many Thefts In Community During Week A rash of thefts, some also involving vandalism, kept sher­ iffs deputies busy in the Mc­ Henry community during the past week. Charles C. Hueckstaedt of 803 W. Southside, McHenry, told sheriffs police that the fuel pump on his car had broken down wMle he was driving home one recent evening.

At least one McHenry resi­ dent is adjusting nicely to the 90-plus temperatures of the week, yet paradoxically is look- ing forward to* the first snow fall of the winter.*• The paradox may be explained when it is revealed that the speaker is Manas seh Gasana, 17, of Uganda, Africa, who ar­ rived last Sunday to attend M.C.H3. under the American Field Service Program. He is residing with the Alvin Benoy family, 3614 W. John street. The well mannered, intern* gent young man speaks with less than enthusiasm about his 20- hour plane trip to the United States. With a bit of humor, he described his first reaction as fear and later, boredom. The ride across country to Illinois was made by bus, and it wfcs the quality of roads in the United States that Manas- seh lists among his first most favorable impressions of the country. He noted that the con­ struction of the buildings here is very different from the land of his birth. Manasseh described the school system in his native Af­ rica as consisting of thirteen grades below university level. Of these, seven are primary and the remainder secondary schools. AU students who at­ tend the latter reside in build­ ings near the schools and re­ turn home only for the three- or four-week vacation periods which are part of the twelve­ month school system. There are so many languages spoken in Africa, said the young man, that English has been se­ lected as a common language. The senior student says he enjoys American food, but has not yet learned the names of most of the dishes. He was particularly impress­ ed with the small amount of land on which homes are built here. Manasseh added that in Africa everyone has land, either near the home or in another location, (Continued on page 5) Advanced Program In Fire Training Is Held Firemen of the three stations of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district currently are undergoing an advanced fire training program. This is a fifteen-hour highly condensed course, with classroom work and practical application of the lesson on fire district equip­ ment at its conclusion.
