Further, he said, the 9chool is working with police in investigating some kind of legal action THREE HURT IN FRIDAY ACCIDENT (Continued from page 1) Fleming road, east of Wood­ stock. Driver of the car, Regina L. Fielder of 9016 Evergreen, Wonder Lake, suffered leg and head injuries. Her passenger, Cindy L. Gafford of 7902 Chestnut, Wonder Lake, sustained head injuries. They were transported to the hospital by the Wonder Lake rescue squad. Driver of the semi-truck owned by Commonwealth Edison, Daniel L Rosenmayer of 245 Uteg, Crystal Lake, was not injured in the collision. Miss Fielder told deputies she was north-bound on Fleming road and as she came to the top of a hill, saw the truck parked on the roadway. She applied her brakes and skidded 171' before impact was made Rosenmayer said he had just unloaded some equipment and was preparing to leave the area when the accident occurred. Officers noted that the road in this area is very hilly and is cut out of a hillside, leaving no room for the truck to pull off the road. The truck had a yellow caution light operating on the roof but had no signs or flares on the road indicating that equipment was ahead. Two similar one-car ac­ cidents occurred Friday evening within one hour at 6515 W. Route 120, at the east drivewav of Valley View School west of McHenry. It was snowing at the time and the roads were icy and snow covered At 11:10, Candace R. Koerper of 4822 W. Prairie, McHenry, escaped serious injury when the rear wheels of her auto started to slide on the highway, causing her to lose control and travel intc a ditch where the car came to rest on its side. A deputy who witnessed the accident reported he had seen the car slide off the road and tip on its side in the ditch Due to the heavy snowfall and traffic in the area, no definite point could be fixed for the beginning of the skid The car came to rest 75 feet west of Valley View's east driveway. Forty-five minutes later, Sharon A Hoffman of 8607 Sunset, Wonder Lake, was driving west in the same location when she, too, lost control on the icy pavement, and hit a util i ty pole on the north side-ef the roadway She was not injured in the mishap Phillip J Schneider of 1255 State Line road, Richmond, was ticketed for improper lane usage following a two-car accident Saturda\ afternoon about 115 on Johnsburg road, one-fourth mile east of Riverside drive, north of McHenry Schneider said lie made a right turn from Riversi.de drive to Johnsburg road when his wheels went off the edge of the thoroughfare, causing his car to slide He struck another car WEDNESDAY.

When the driver pulled back on, he crossed the center line and struck his auto. MUSIN' N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) stone Epitaph. Tombstone, Ariz., a rather unusual little home town paper which has caught the fancy of newspaper people throughout the country, many of whom subscribe. The article points up the strained relations which can come about even in a small community. It reveals that a 36- year-old elementary school principal in the area recently walked into the newspaper office and assaulted the editor. Protesting an editorial he had written, the educator struck him, knocking the surprised editor from his desk and into a glass book display case, cutting him severely about the head. The item was carried rather obscurely on an inside page of the newspaper, indicating that in the Wild Wild West, it still takes more than a punch in the nose to make big news. Nevertheless, the incident prompts us to weigh our words more carefully in cont­ roversial areas for the future.

Cordrey has been serving as assistant director of the program development division in the area of citizenship education, and leadership training. In 1965 he was assigned the major respon­ sibility for the local affairs program in the division. Prior to joining the Federation staff, Cordrey worked on the staff of the Michigan Farm Bureau in As the final days of winter melt away, Mrs. June Stuart, suggests that the McHenry Public library is an excellent place to obtain a new per­ spective on spring. "The world around us," Mrs. Stuart said, "becomes a more meaningful and interesting place when we look a bit deeper at the things we often take for granted." T To prove this point, she cited the traditional toy of spring, the kite. Kites are quite "com­ monplace" in spring, but taking that deeper look might make us wonder if anything in the world we live in is really commonplace. How many McHenry children realize that the kite they fly this season is the "great, great, great grandson" of the one which some historians say was invented between 400 and 300 B.C. by Archytas of the Greek City of Tarentum? Most of us believe that the Chinese in­ vented the kite and the Chinese are quick to back this belief because they say it was really invented in 206 B.C. by a general named Han Sin. Perhaps one identifies kites with the Chinese because they still celebrate kite day on the ninth day of the ninth month of their year. This celebration marks the anniversary of a legendary event in which a man dreamed that on a certain day a disaster would strike him and his family. On that day, he went out on a hill with his family and passed the day in kite flying. When he returned home, he found his house had burned and the natural conclusion was that flying kites somehow saved the family from harm in the fire. On kite day, it is still believed that the kites ward off evil spirits! Whoever invented it, the kite has proven not only a delight to membership acquisition. He first started work for the Michigan Farm Bureau in September, 1951. Born on a farm in Hillsdale county, Mich., Cordrey was graduated in 1951 from Hillsdale college, where he studied in the fields of human r e l a t i o n s , s o c i o l o g y , psychology and economics. During his high school and college years, he helped his father operate a 160-acre general farm. He served two years in the Navy (1946-48) following graduation from high school. Cordrey is chairman of the planning committee of the Round Table of National Organizations for Better Schools, an affiliation of organizations that have an interest in education. He was selected by the Wheaton, 111., Junior Chamber of Commerce for the Outstanding Citizens Award in 1966 and in 1967 was selected for recognition in the book, "Outstanding Civic Leaders of America." Mr. Cordrey and his wife, Eve, have four children. fly on windy March days, but over the years has been an indispensable instrument in science. A kite was used to fly a line across the Niagara which was then used to haul across the first cables of a suspension bridge. As far back as 1749, Alexander Wilson and Thomas Melville used a kite "train" to measure the temperature of clouds. One kite was hooked after another on a strong cord to gain more height and lift. In 1883, Douglas Archibald of England used kites to carry an anemometer (wind Meter) 1,200 feet aloft to measure wind velocity. Whether the U.S. Weather Bureau took their cue from these pioneers of scientific kite flying is not known. It is known, however, that the Bureau used kites routinely 'in the early 1900's to measure wind velocity, barometric pressure, and temperature. The kite even carried a camera above the earth for some of our first aerial photography in 1887 and kites of "man-lifting" capacity were used in the Boer War! U.S. Navy veterans in McHenry might very well be able to relate to their children or grandchildren that during World War II, a box kite was often standard equipment on life rafts. They were used to carry emergency antennas and served as excellent markers for sea and air search rescue teams. But perhaps the most famous antenna to ever be hooked to a kite was the one used by Gugliemo Marconi in 1901 to send the first radio signal across the Atlantic. Incidentally, he used one of those "man-lifters" from the Boer War. "By now," Mrs. Stuart said, "we'll begin to catch on to this new 'game' of deeper un­ derstanding. Even the traditional kite is not really commonplace and pursuing knowledge in this manner can open whole new worlds, par­ ticularly for youngsters." If there are still some doubts try these: Marbles were known to be used by children in Rome prior to the time of Christ. The game of "jacks" is believed to date back as far as the ancient caves in Kiev and a similar game was pictured on jars found in ancient Greece. Of course they didn't use the plastic and metal version of tdday with rubber balls, but used seeds, bones, stones, and other items. In the McHenry library are many books that can make spring a more exciting and meaningful time of year'. Outdoor sports, camping, boating, cooking, hiking, water safety, wildlife, gardening, and many other subjects are covered in a variety of books and references. Through the Illinois Public Library Systems and the resource centers, school, college and special libraries, literally millions of books are accessible. WFY OAD! WANT A CAR THAT'S I Jfck.
