h THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKE S REGION SINCE 1875' VOLUM 96 NUMBER 69 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1972 22 PAGES TEN CENTS J Class Of 1966 In Registration Pictured above are Mrs. Betsy Aird and her 5-year-old daugbter, Laura, who looks a bit wistful as she is registered for kin­ dergarten at Landmark school. Registration days were recently completed at the school, with more than 300 children signed up for the 1972-73 school year. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Several Motorists Hurt In Head-On Collision Someone called our attention to the fact that some parents may be contemplating a live gift for their youngsters at Easter. They asked for a plea that mom and dad think twice before indulging Junior in a fuzzy chick or duckling which has little chance of survival. Anti-Cruelty society mem­ bers caution, and rightly so, that the few who survive until summer will become full grown birds which are noisy, smelly and in other ways a nuisance that forces the family either to kill them or give them away. Chickens and ducks belong on farms, these same people stress, and again they are right. The cute little pets require much care, as many families learn too late. If they don't die of respiratory in­ fections (biggest^ cause of death) they die of mishandling by children not old enough to treat birds as living things rather than play things. And the list of no-nos for gifts include rabbits, which rarc!y have the resist«r«cfc to disease at the age they are brought into the home as gifts. But apart from all of these practical pleas with which we heartily agree, there may be another reason for using restraint in buying Easter gifts which live and breathe. There (Continued on page 22) Two citations were issued to William I. Steinmetz of Lake Geneva. Wis., after his car collided head-on with another driven by Michael J. Cajthaml of 1511 W. Sunnyside Beach drive. McHenry. Steinmetz was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and improper lane usage. The accident occurred last Thursday afternoon about 5:15 at the intersection of Johnsburg road and Riverside drive, west of Johnsburg. Transported to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad were Steinmetz and his passenger, Linnea E. Steinmetz, and Mike Cajthaml, driver of the other car, and' his passengers Everett J Klap- perich of 3821 N. Hillcrest, and Richard E Travis of 4708 Sabath road, both of McHenry. All were treated and released except William Steinmetz, who suffered a broken leg, and Travis, who received head injuries in the mishap. Steinmetz stated he was west-bound on Johnsburg road when the setting sun blinded him. Suddenly he noticed a vehicle in front of him hac! stopped, waiting to make a left turn onto Riverside drive. He Applied his brakes to avoid hitting the rear of the stopped auto and traveled into the east- bound lane, where he collided with the other auto. Cajthaml told deputies he was east-bound on the roadway and saw a vehicle stopped with Medical Leader Sees County Health Crisis Unless McHenry counts builds new medical facilities to attract additional health manpower, it will face a health crisis within a few years, the state's top medical spokesman said Thursday night. And the county must "sell itself" to physicians and their families as well, according to Dr. Frank J. Jirka, Jr., River Forest, president of the Illinois State Medical society. He was guest speaker at a McHenry County Medical society meeting at the Crystal Lake Country club. "First you must sell' new physicians and allied health personnel by building the proposed new Health Park," he said at a press conference before the meeting. "Today's physician is taught space-age medicine in our medical schools," he said. "If you want to attract more doctors...then you'll need not only space-age medical facilities, but modern equip­ ment as well. "Otherwise...you won't at­ tract flies!" He said that such a facility, which would includes modern hospital of up to 300 beds with provision for expansion, plus a nursing home and office building for doctors, is a big step toward . attracting physicians and other health personnel. The need for such a facility was realized as early as 1966 by his left turn signals operating, waiting to make a turn. Sud­ denly he saw the Steinmetz auto travel in his lane of traffic. A witness at the scene verified Cajthaml's statement. Bertha M Jager of 1309 N. Riverside drive, McHenry, was cited for failure to notify police authorities of an accident after a two-car crash Friday mor­ ning about 9:30 at 2904 W. Route 120. Driver of the other car, Anton Blazek of 702 Regner road, McHenry, told deputies he had just turned into a parking lot on the highway and his auto had not completely cleared the right-of-way when it was struck. Mrs. Jager stated the auto was in her lane of traffic. Freddie W Decker of 2601 S. Hyde Park, McHenry, was ticketed by sheriff's deputies for improper lane usige- violated median, following a one-car accident Saturday morning about 1:50 at the in­ tersection of Routes 31 and 14. Decker stated he was north­ bound on Route 31 when he fell asleep at the wheel. He remembered nothing ah™?* the accidcnt. Deputies noted that evidence at the scene indicated the north bound auto crossed the center line, struck a steel high­ way sign on the west shoulder of the road and traveled another 39 feet before colliding with a guard rail. Decker was not injured in the mishap. McHenry Area Churches Plan Holy Week, Easter Services McHenry area churches are planning special Holy week and Easter services. FAITH PRESBYTERIAN At Faith Presbyterian church, the Maundy Thursday rites will be at 7:30 p.m., with a service of holy Communion. There will be special music by the senior choir. On Good Friday at 7:30 p.m., there will be a community service at the First United Methodist church, sponsored by the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches of McHenry. Special music by the combined choirs will be offered under the direction of John Leighty. The sermon will be delivered by Pastor Virgle Chappell. A sunrise service, with the celebration of holy Communion around the breakfast tables, is scheduled for 6 o'clock Easter Sunday. There will be special music by the junior choir. Breakfast will be served by the Session. At 9:15 a.m. there will be church school classes for the first through eighth grades, and at 10:15 a.m., a service of physicians and other com- unity leaders in the county, he said. The Health Park concept was developed and approved by regional health organizations, the county medical society and the Illinois Department of Public Health. From a number of site proposals, a majority of sup­ porters judged the most feasible location is on Route 31 just north of Crystal Lake, Dr Jirka said. Vet today, five and a half years later, the proposed Health Park remains "little more than a dream," he said. "In 1960 McHenry county had fifty-eight physicians dispensing direct patient care, forty-seven of them family physicians," he said. "Today, the county still has fifty-eight physicians, but only thirty of them are family physicians. "By 1985 you'll need twice as many doctors, three times the number of hospital beds and an additional 430 nursing home beds.' he said. "You must not allow parochial interests or political boundaries to act as roadblocks to construction of the Health Park," Dr. Jirka said Stating that the "foresight and concern'.' of the medical profession is "a matter of record," he urged the county board of supervisors "to act now and grant zoning for construction of the new Health Park." corporate worship. Music will be by the senior choir. ST. MARY CATHOLIC Low Masses will be offered at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at St. Mary Catholic church Holy Thur­ sday.

Crystal Lake, was pronounced dead on arrival at Memorial hospital, Sunday afternoon about 3:15 after a two-car, head on collision at the intersection of Route 14 and Lily Pond road, about 3 miles southeast of Woodstock. The accident oc­ curred Sunday afternoon about 2:30. Two passengers in the Winn auto, John Nelson, 9, and Rory Nelson, 11, both of 7511 Redwood street, Crystal Lake, were taken to the same hospital, along with the driver of the other car, Jeff D. Robison, 17, 3406 Hilltop drive, Wonder Lake, and his passenger, Jerry Robison, 15, of the same ad­ dress.

Jeff was reported in fair condition and Rory in critical condition by hospital officials Monday morning. Memorial hospital reported that Jerry Robison and John Nelson were in fair condition Monday morning at that hospital. (Continued on page 22) He emphasized that building a Health Park is only the beginning "You also have to do a super- selling job to the physician's family," Dr. Jirka said "You have to tell them about all the advantages of McHenry county. "You have plenty to offer," he said. "You have clean air, fine schools, modern stores and shopping centers, movie theaters, an opera house, restaurants, and excellent recreational facilities. "You have the Fox river and chain of lakes and Lake Geneva is just 40 minutes away, downtown Chicago just 90 minutes," he said. Dr Jirka said those com­ munities which are successful in attracting additional physicians through the state medical society's physician placement service do so because of one major reason- "super salesmanship " He called on doctors, local governments of the county, Chambers of Commerce, Kiwanis clubs, Elks clubs and "everyone else to yell loud and clear about the advantages of McHenry county."
