This is a program sponsored by the Quaker Church. The Howen- stines went with a group of sixteen people from the States and spent six weeks in a small village in the southern part of Mexico working with the villagers in improving their community and also teaching the children of the community. The Men's Club held a Valentine Party for their wives last Thursday night at the Mount Hope church. Some of the folks from our community attended and had a great time joining in the games and stunts provided by Rev. Walker. The "Newly-Wed Game" was cause for a lot of laughs when we realized how much (or little) we knew about our spouses.

SURPRISE ANNIVERSARY PARTY A surprise party for the Bob Brennans was at the Urb Bauer home last (a week ago) Sunday evening. The Evan Vogels and Kenny Eppers had a sing along, with the champagne flowing. Bob and Lor Brennan have been married 21 years. Really something when people have to follow you around the country to catch up with you to help you celebrate such a glorious day. The Bauers were also surprised as they hadn't expected so much company. Those there besides the ones already mentioned were Dolores, Bob, Linda, and young Bob. Pam and John and Gordon and Ruth also stopped in to help make a full house for the evening. ABOUT TOWN Aunt Nellie's son Webb of Richmond is in the McHenry hospital with a broken ankle. Hopefully he will be home when this comes out. Coffee and were enjoyed by several Wednesday morning of last week in the Low household -- with Sue Erwin and Patti Miller doing the serving, as Doris was a little under the weather. Darlene Lehmkuhl had a group of ladies in on Tuesday evening for a few games and a demonstration. Wednesday evening brought the pearl divers out at the Low household but as in the morning Sue and Pat were doing the honors of being hostess as Ma was in bed. Should have heard the ooh's and aah's over the pearls. Monday of this week found Aunt Nellie, Ruby Shepard and Lil Visconti out painting the town red (so to speak, not really) again. Just general shopping and getting out. Sorry folks there was nothing last week but due to sickness, vacations and lack of news Welllll there just wasn't anything. Our vacationing reporter due back this week and yours truly the doctor says, just rest, let others wait on you. Really is a big joke, but we're trying. TROOP 162 Court of Honor Sunday, Troop 162, held its Court of Honor at the American Legion home. Following an invocation by the new senior patrol leader, Brian Cunat, about 200 people sat down to a delicious banquet. As the ceremonies opened, Jim Cole was presented the Eagle Scout award, scouting's highest rank. Walter Massey presented Jim with a special citizenship certificate and citizenship medal from the American Legion. The B.P.O. Elks Lodge 1043 of Woodstock, represented by "Pete" Coarson, gave Jim an American flag, a certificate of citizenship and a book. The troop is very proud of Jim and the honor he brings to the troop. Following the Eagle award, the new Tenderfoot Scouts were presented their pins. Carl Ames was given his father's original Tenderfoot pin by his proud father, Carl S. Ames, who has waited many years for this special occasion. We hope Carl will continue up through the scouting ranks with continued closeness between father and son. Other Tenderfeet receiving recognition were Glen Bailey, Roger Christie, Tim Doherty, Tim Hughes, Tom Hughes and Tom Kent. The Second class rank was awarded to Dave Alderman, Lee Griesbach and Jerry Hutchinson. Bruce Fetzer became a First class Scout. Star Scout rank was awarded to Brian Fetzer. This Star rank requires five merit badges, one community service project, a conservation project, and active service as a troop leader. Merit badges were earned by the following boys: Bill Adams, cooking; Alan Cina, athletics, personal fitness and wood- carving; Terry Gough, firemanship; Tom Hutchinson, firemanship; and Greg Sch- mitt, nature. This badge earned by Greg Schmitt was the last one required for his Eagle Scout rank. We hope to be able to present this highest scouting award to this fine young man shortly. New patrol leaders are Tom Hutchinson, Jim Steinbach and Bmce Fetzer. New assistant patrol leaders are Bob Buenzli • id Sean Thomas. RIVER BASIN PROJECT The Rock river basin, which cuts through fourteen counties in northern Illinois, was chosen for a state-financed basin planning project because it best typifies conditions likely to be encountered in the other fifteen river basins in the state, ac­ cording to Frank Beal, an environmental planner. The Rock river basin, which in­ cludes the river and its watershed, is the sixth largest of the state's river basins. The area has a variety of rainfall and water quality conditions, and its waters are put to the most common uses, from recreation to navigation. The area has the fifth largest population, second largest number of employes working in manufacturing and the third largest agricultural base. More than 250,000 drink drive calculators have been distributed during the last six months, according to H.L. Hyndman, acting secretary of the Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee. The calculator is used to compute the amount of alcohol that may be consumed within the legal limit and amount at which driving ability should be questioned. "Motorists have failed to heed warnings about drinking and driving," Hyndman said, ad­ ding that more than half of all highway fatalities are alcohol related. The Drink drive calculators may be obtained by writing to the Governor's Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee, Box 3007, Springfield, 111. 62706. IIS Voter League Delegation In Japan For Talks Mrs. Lyle Johnson, president of the League of Women Voters of Woodstock-McHenry, an­ nounced recently that an eight- member delegation from the League of Women Voters of the United States is presently in Japan for discussions on U.S. - Japan trade relationships.

The women will also meet with officials of the US.

FLYING NUN You have all heard of the flying nun. One of our very own News Of Humane Society An overflow crowd of 250 packed the Council chambers of the Crystal Lake city hall Thursday, Feb. 10, to hear Dr. B.G. Irwin, D.V.M., talk about VEE (Venezuelan « Equine Encephalomyletitis) sponsored by the Northern Illinois Hoofed Animal Humane society. Dr Irwin is assistant professor of veterinary clinical medicine at the University of Illinois. Among those present were- many prominent horsemen, breeders and stable owners, several equine veterinarians, representatives of the Fox River Valley Pony club, and members of various other horse clubs in the area. Dr. Irwin outlined the three types of encephalomyletitis, a virus disease which attacks the horse's nervous system. People local girls is running a close second. I received a letter from Sister Mary Louise Kagan who tells me she whizzes around on her motorcycle out in Tan­ zania, E. Africa, making her sick calls and visits, going to clinics. Sister does mission work. She tells me it is as easy as riding a bicycle down Main Street in Spring Grove. This I gotta see. But as she says "It is so rewarding". Great dedication! I would say. and horses are only susceptible to encephalomyletitis. In people it takes the form of mild flu, but is usually fatal to horses. Slides of horses afflicted with encephalomyletitis were shown, and the symptoms were discussed. The symptoms for western, eastern, and Venezuelan are similar, ̂ and take many forms, such as^olic, restlessness,convulsion^ and behavioral changes. Horsemen have been routinely vac­ cinating against western and eastern encephalomyletitis, but the need for vaccination against VEE has raised con­ siderable controversy. Questions from the audience brought the debate over the vaccine directly to Dr. Irwin and the equine veterinarians in the audience. It was pointed out that no vaccine is 100 percent safe, and that research is not completed on the VEE vaccine However, VEE herein the U.S., is transmitted by blood sucking insects, rodents and birds, and the only cure is prevention Over two million horses were safely vaccinated last summer. The Northern Illinois Hoofed Animal Humane society, Box 262, Barrington, 111., is planning future informative meetirt^s for the horseman. ^ During the 15 years between 1845 and 1860, more immigrants came to U.S. from Ireland than came to us from all the rest of the world, combined, since 1776. Reason: potato famine for 4 consecutive years.
