s Viscount Truck Crash Causes Injuries To Three Two quartermasters of the McHenry Viscount drum and bugle corps were injured, one of them seriously, in the crash of their equipment truck and a band bus from Aurora early Sunday morning. They were the driver, Jack Barnett, 21, of McHenry, who suffered shock and lacerations, and Wayne Kemp, 24, of Crystal Lake, a passenger in the truck, who sustained a punctured lung, broken ribs and severe lacerations of the face. Both men were taken to Lincoln Memorial hospital, Lin­ coln, 111. Later, Kemp was flown by helicopter to a Springfield hospital for treatment. The latter, a former Viscount member who returned from Vietnam service, had recently rejoined the group in the role of quartermaster. A passenger in the Aurora bus also was reported injured. The McHenry equipment truck was demolished when it collided with the rear o^ the bus on Highway 66, near Lincoln. No details were immediately available because of the hospitalization of both local men involved. Two of the Viscount instruments were destroyed and others were damage. Several of the uniforms, purchased recently, were covered with bloda. The corps left McHenry Saturday to perform in Bradley, 111., that evening. They remained there over night and the truck started out early Sunday, ahead of the two buses carrying seventy-seven Viscounts to the Springfield state fair for competition. The local musicians were eating in a restaurant when a truck driver came in and told them of an accident a distance ahead on Rt. 66. They set out immediately and soon came upon the crash schene. The Viscounts continued on to the fair, where with the assistance of borrowed instruments, they placed fourth in the afternoon preliminary contest, dedicating their performance to the injured quartermasters. In the evening final com­ petition. the corps placed fifth in a field of twelve with a score of 54.05 The Cavaliers, for many years winners of the McHenry Marine Festival, took top honors with a score of 82.20. Five persons were injured in a three-car collision Sunday evening about 7:15 at the intersection of Route 12 and Fox Lake road, north of Pistakee Highlands. Taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad were George T. Whiting, of 816 Center street, McHenry and James W.» Donnelly of 1213 N.

Sunday afternoon, as newspaper folks gathered around Publisher Larry Lund's pool, the answer was either "lucky" or "old"."4 Nobody cared much as long as he was overlooked when the mischievous merrymakers carried off reluctant victims, who were then pushed or persuaded into the pool. Whether the clothing was appropriately a bikini or inappropriately, street attire, didn't seem to matter either. All this fun took place at the annual steak fry picnic gathering of that peculiar breed of folks dedicated to fighting type lice in the interest of producing a newspaper. It's always a great day, and this year was no exception. Everybody needs just such an occasion to vent his practical jokes on unsuspecting co­ workers, only to spend the rest of the year making amends. This kind of good time represents summer at its best. Who reminded us that Labor Day is just around the corner! Census Data Received By Local Communities Census data, in greater detail than previously available, has been sent to 267 cities, villages and registered unincorporated places. This information was prepared by the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission from Census Bureau computer tapes. A total of 4,005 pages of census data were assembled with the assistance of the University of Illinois, Center for Urban Studies. The data is being distributed locally by the planning departments of each of the six counties in nor­ theastern Illinois. Each community will receive fifteen pages of computer printed sheets containing local census data. Included are approximately 150 items of local population data and 200 items of local housing in­ formation.

Add one bicycle and the effects can be tragic, as they were last week when a 10-year- old girl was killed while riding her bike on a blacktop road near Woodstock. The inexperience of the motorist and the bike rider combined, as so often happens, to create a series of happenings which invariably add up to disaster. Reading the police report, one could almost keep one step ahead of the accident in predicting what would happen next. Certainly speeds of 70 to 75 are too high for any driver of 16, and just as certain it is wrong for a youngster to be bike riding on a heavily traveled road, no matter how carefully he is instructed. In last week's fatal accident, a 10-year-old girl was obeying all the rules until she became startled by the horn and lost control. The driver also em­ ployed the proper technique in attempting to avoid hitting her bike, but his judgment in failing to cut speed when encountering a child resulted in the too familiar stoty of tragedy on the highway.

The building program--originally planned for three budgetary years--will be squeezed into two budgetary years, the Finance committee of the McHenry county board of supervisors reported recently. This will cause each county office to tighten its budget during this period. Budgeting for the building program requires considerable advance planning, and the timing of the construction is estimated now to complete the building in time for December, 1972, occupancy. The budgetary year begins each Dec. 1.

Last month church members conducted their first collection, which resulted in 1,605 pounds of bottles and jars turned in. However, most of the glass was realized through the donations of members. The church em­ phasizes the collection is open to the public and everyone is invited to share in the wor­ thwhile project. Because there is no other glass collection agency in McHenry township, this one is important to all who would assist in the ecology movement. Glass turned in should be clean, free of metal bands and labels. Colors should be sorted as to clear, green and brown. No broken glass or window panes can be accepted. Leaders of clubs and organizations in the area are encouraged to ask members to participate in this activity since one of the most important forms of pollution is solid waste material. By means of recycling, it is possible to reduce the problem. Glass collected will be taken to a Mundelein plant, where it is redeemed at the rate of one cent per pound. Although the last collection accounted for one full pickup truck, only $16.05 resulted, which indicates there is a small financial profit. The gain is chiefly in the im­ provement of the appearance of the countryside. Commendation Medal Awarded To McHenry Man Pfc. Arnold C. Diedrich, son of Elmer J. Diedrich of 3908 N Spring Grove road, McHenry, recently received the Army Commendation medal in Vietnam.
