Y MUSIN1 N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) Enclosed with a check, we received a most welcome message from William J. Klapperich, a long time McHenry resident now residing in Africa. He renewed his subscription, noting that "I can't miss a copy as you know McHenry was my home town and this is the only way I learn the news". Apparently it takes the Plaindealer considerable time to arrive, but Mr. Klap­ perich doesn't seem to mind. He isn't taking advantage of the current sales or sporting events, but it allows him to keep in touch with old friends. And Isn't that one of the reasons for a hometown newspaper? K A.F. FORMER McHENRY MAN DIES AFTER AUTO ACCIDENT (Continued from page 1) right turn. She applied her brakes but slid through the intersection. When her brakes caught, she struck the Miller auto. She told deputies the highway was wet and there was loose gravel on the roadway. She also stated it was very foggy at the time of the mishap. Patricia M. Sherman of 609 W. Eastern, McHenry, was ticketed for speed too fast for conditions after a one-car accident Thursday morning about 3 o'clock at 5710 Fox Lake road, north of Johnsburg. The driver stated she was south-bound on the roadway and mistook a driveway "en­ trance for another road she wanted to travel. She lost control of her vehicle ran across the road onto a lawn and skidded 60 feet on the lawn before coming to rest against a telephone pole. HOSPITAL SERVICES ARE RECOGNIZED (Continued from page 1) contributed represent real services, many of which would require paid staff members if the volunteers were not available. George Freund, hospital board president, said the Pink Ladies and Candystripers (teen-age volunteers) make the work of the board much easier. He said the volunteers help keep McHenry hospital "on top where jt is now." Expanding that idea, he asserted: "I feel it is one of the top hospitals in the country, ,and your contribution is a mighty factor for this achievement." Dr. R.S. Loewenherz, chief of the medical staff, expressed the view of the doctors con­ cerning the auxiliary, asser­ ting: "You provide so many services, and we doctors are appreciative. In fact, I'll go further and say we're spoiled! How did we do our work without you? Keep on spoiling us!" * Following are volunteers who were honored for 500-1,000 hours of service: Mary Jean Lahs, 956; Pat Szerscsen, 857; Eleanor Althoff, 856; Evelyn Freund, 753; Marie Cross, 751; Bertha Stange, 731; Elizabeth Sonnenberg, 705; Marie Faber, 675; Leon Lawrence, 669; Clara Slegar,669; Agnes Barbier, 666; Eleanor Gaffney, 624; Betty Ames, 597; Dorothy Kelsey, 583; Eleanor Pawlikowski, 569; and Gertrude Justen, 542.

His earliest teaching was done in the Hennepin school system, where he taught all eight grades for three years. The popular educator was active in the County and State Education associations and served in a leadership capacity in many of his affiliations. Under' his direction, the Johnsburg school , grew from eight teachers and a pupil enrollment.^, about 200 in 1959 to the preseht fifty teachers and an enrollment of 1;172. Under his guidance^ the school system Tias become one of the most progressive ^and innovative in the state. Programs for individual instruction, independent study, gifted, acceleration, music, foreign language, art, physical education, guidance and counseling, learning centers and open space instruction were planned and inaugurated under his leadership. John­ sburg was the first dual enrollment school in the Hock-' ford diocese. It was a tribute to his dynamic personality and ad­ ministrative ability that the district recently passed a bond issue referendum and building rate, while other schools in the state were experiencing dif­ ficulty in obtaining support for education. In the knowledge that many people will want to "do something" and that flowers wither quickly, Mrs. Bush has authorized the establishment of a memorial fund. Children, classes and others wishing to contribute may give memorial gifts directly to her or to the school. She said Tuesday morning that some will be used for Masses and other toward a permanent memorial to be selected later. Funeral arrangements were pending at the George R. Justen & Son funeral home at press time. Services will be held sometime Thursday morning at St. John the Baptist Catholic church, with burial later that day at LaSalle, 111. x MARIJUANA RAID -- County law enforcement officials are shown with marijuana confiscated from two youths in the Crystal Lake high school parking lot Wednesday afternoon. Oct. 20. Examining the cache are Detective Jim Weidner of the Crystal Lake Police department. Detective Sgt. James Connelly of the Narcotics division of the McHenry County Sheriff's department. First Assistant State's Attorney Thomas Baker, State's Attorney W illiam Cowlin, Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell and Crystal Lake Chief of Police Sam Johns. Start Mailing 1972 Vehicle License Plates Secretary of State John W I^ewis announced that mailing of 1972 motor vehicle license plates has begun, with the first group of plates going into the mail Monday, Oct. 18, ten days earlier than ever before. Secretary Lewis said all plates representing reassigned numbers -- 520,000 of them- will be mailed by Dec. 1, another first in the history of the Secretary of State's office. The improved service was made possible by the acquisition of sufficient warehouse space to store a year's supply of plates at one time, he said. Previously, plates had to be accepted from the manufac­ turer in groups because of limited storage space. Lewis cautioned motorists that state law prohibits display of the plates on vehicles before Dec. 1. Many of the presently used roads in England were laid out, graded and surfaced by the Romans, some 2,000 years ago. Mt. McKinley, Alaska, is classed as containing the largest mass of any mountain 'on earth, as it starts from a lower elevation than most.

Of these, 212 have been referred to a clinic or physician because of pathology that required further tests and study. Christmas Seal letters have been going into the mail for the past two weeks.
