My husband, our son and I left home on a tour of several southern states. Our first stop was in E. St. Louis: then on to Mountain Home, Ar., from there we went across Ten­ nessee. While there we went through the greater Smoky Mountains, (a sight everyone should try to see, if they want to see something-beautiful). From there we went to N. Carolina where we met the Leske family, while there the six of us went mining for rubies, gar­ nets, and other gems. After a couple of days we headed north to Michigan for 2 more days. The Leske family went to Florida for the balance of their vacation. We arrived home last Saturday and by this printing the Leskes will also be home again. We have some great memories and now we can think about next year's vacation.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD U of I Student Auto Designed For Ten Factors Electric motor drive and a Wankel rotary internal com­ bustion engine are combined in an automobile being built by students in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It is unique among seventy- four entries by student groups of the United States and Canada for the Aug. 6-11 Urban Vehicle Design Competition at General Motors Proving Grounds, Milford, Mich. The experimental vehicles will be tested against the 1976 low-pollution standards set by Congress, and scored for safety features, cost, ease of handling and ten other factors. The student-run contest, with headquarters at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, grew out of the 1968 Great Electric Car Race between MIT and California ^Institute of Technology, anEKthe 1970 43- team cross-countryGJean Air Car Race. s 'U. of I. students have been designing and working on their entry since s late 1970. The university has^ provided facilities, the Illinois Depart­ ment of Transportation Office of Research and Development "The way to preserve open space is to bring together the scientists who know what land is unique and worth saving with the dedicated citizens who will press local governments to action." This is the advice of Gunnar Peterson, executive director of the Open Lands Project, who addressed a dinner meeting of the McHenry County Defen­ ders. . Peterson had prepared a lengthy slide presentation showing numerous examples of how his organization had acted as catalyst to bring together scientists and activists to preserve such irreplaceable natural areas as Goose Lake Prairie, the Illinois Prairie Path near Wheaton, Peacock Prairie in Gulf Mill Shopping center, Markham Prairie in southern Cook county and Thornton Quarry, a favorite spot for rock hounds. Peterson showed , the Defenders slides of portions of the Fox river with high sand­ stone cliffs which rival in $1,900, and twenty commercial firms have contributed parts and material. In the U. of I. entry, wheels are driven by an electric motor through a conventional tran­ smission. Energy for the motor is from a bank of storage batteries and a generator driven at a fixed speed by the Wankel engine. For acceleration and at other times when great energy is/ needed, the motor draws current from both generator and batteries. When the motor requires less current than the generator produces, the excess recharges the batteries. Heart of the system is a transistorized, solid-state switching sys^emydesign^ and built by^Restudents. It has no parts. The Wankel rotary engine will burn propane gas. Because it runs at a constant speed, the fuel mixture can be set for maximum efficiency and minimum pollution. Safety features of the vehicle include built-in rollbars, and bumpers capable of absorbing an impact at 5 miles an hour without damage. The Wankel engine came from an experimental European capdnd m^A parts for the protect were donated. McHenry 7 Electric Co., McHenry/gave the electric motor. beauty the Wisconsin Dells area. He said this area from Sheridan to Wedron can be best enjoyed by canoe as there are no foot trails or roads. But even now commerical processors of sandstone are spoiling the area by pushing their wastes over the banks and into the river. Such desecration can only be stopped, he added, by legislation such as the Scenic Rivers Bill which could preserve parts of the Fox for future generations to enjoy . Abandoned railroad rights- of-way formed the basis for much of the Illinois Prairie Path. About 30 miles have now been preserved for cycling and hiking. Peterson mentioned that many^miles of such abandoned rights-of-way exist in McHenry county. He has worked with Kenneth Fiske of the county Conservation district in planning how some of these could be restored as recreational trails. Peterson also mentioned that McHenry county may have some areas of virgin prairie which could be restored and preserved. Peterson was introduced-by Dr. Brian G. Koukol, president of the Defenders, who pointed out that as environmentally concerned citizens, members must work on present problems but at the same time must be constantly searching for an­ swers to the problems of the future. , Gunnar Peterson has served as chief administrative officer of the Open Lands Project since its formation in 1963. Under his leadership, the project has acted successfully to preserve major recreation and conservation areas in the Chicago area and throughout Illinois. The project has also been active in seeking an im­ proved urban environment through better land use plan­ ning, proper controj of air and water pollutiou and provision of environmental education programs for both children and adults* In 1969 the Great [Lakes chapter of the Sierra club awarded Peterson, its annual citation for conservationist of the year for his service in the interest of a better, more liveable Chicago regionr" More recently the Open Lands Project co-sponsored a National Symposium on Trails which was held at the Wood­ stock center in McHenry county. Peterson is coor­ dinating the effort to establish a FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 4, 1932) Don Bigelow and his fourteen - piece orchestra coming direct from LosAngeles, is scheduled to provide music at the Fox Pavilion this weekend. The Fox is drawing some splendid attendance since the an­ nouncement of securing well known bands., The management is putting forth every effort and sparing no expense to make the Fox the leading dance pavilion in northern Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. James Sewell, who reside in the John Miller subdivision near McHenry have returned from a 4,750 mile trip through the west. Before they started they purchased a new V-8 Ford from the Buss- Page Motor Sales at McHenry in which they made the jour­ ney. Roy Mathews, McHenry's parachute jumper, will set a new world's record on Labor Day when hr will jump off at Grant Par* in Chicago, over Lake Michigan. Coast guards will be on hand to pick him up after his jump in the lake. ' The week the McHenry County Farmer's co-operative association is celebrating its twelfth anniversary in business. John A. Bolger is president and general manager of the association. The in­ creased business during the last few years at the Farmers Mill has made it necessary to provide more room and a new addition has just been com­ pleted. An eclipse of the sun which will occur on Aug. 31 will be visible in McHenry perhaps to a greater degree than any eclipse of recent years. TWENTY-FIVEYEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 7, 1947) Commemorating V.J. Day which ^marked the end of hostilities with Japan and the close of the war two years ago, the Veterans of Foreign Wars in McHenry are sponsoring a mid-summer festival on Aug. 15, 16 and 17.

Lester St. Louis, 64 years old, a resident of that com­ munity for twenty-two years who pas&d away at his home Aug. 5. Tragedy struck Woodstock and also touched our own community Monday evening, Aug. 4, when the first fatal accident in the twenty-five year history of the Woodstock plant of the Electric Auto-lite Company took the life of Maud B. Wilkins, 27. The young woman who was a sister of Claude Nickels of Main street, McHenry, was killed when an electrical shock of un­ determined nature passed through her body.
