PAGE6-PLA!NDEALER-FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 29, 1972 Twenty Students Complete First Summer WECEP Session Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen 385-6344 McHenry Community high school conducted its first summer WECEP session under the guidance of teacher- coordinator, Pat Wirtz. WECEP, which stands for Work Experience and Career Exploration program, was created last March at the East campus for 14 and 15-year-old youths who were having dif­ ficulty in typical school room learning situations. Twenty students were hand picked for the program to leave school up to a half day in order to pick up credit for on-the-job training at different businesses within the community. Classroom study goes hand in hand with the job as each student learns the methods of finding and keeping a job; learns of new or different oc­ cupations; finds out about job safety; and other topics related to obtaining a job after graduation. This past summer the classroom session lasted six weeks and consisted of classroom related work plus field trips centering around the main theme, "occupation and job finding". In the classroom, guest speakers who presented short talks included Jerome Buch on plumbing and heating; Emc. W.R. Andriot, U.S.N, on a Navy career; S. Sg. CM. Harer, U.S.A. on an Army career; and James Maxson on the Commonwealth Edison company. Field trips included visits to the Crystal Lake Employment Service where William Miller spoke about finding jobs in McHenry county, along with some do's and don'ts con* cerning job interviews. Walter Hojnacki showed the class his work area, where many TV's are repaired each year. "He also expressed a growing concern for more and better qualified technicians in the TV repair business. At Gait airport, Gordy An­ derson explained different procedures which take place at a small airport along with a tour of some vintage aircraft of yesteryear. After the tour, a few of the braver students went up for a short ride in a single engined Cessna. Well known radio announcer and owner of the WIVS radio station, Mel Bellairs, explained some of the qualities which he feels makes a good disc jockey. While showing the class his small station in Crystal Lake, he pointed out how important it is to find something which one 1 THINK ABOUT IT! 1 By BOBJUSTEN Ma ly dungs seem wrong these days. More and more people complain that we have accepted, or at least tolerate conditions and situations which people in previous generations would never permit. Complaints are heard about personal pleasures - wild pleasures in human behavior. Intellectual ar­ rogance is seen in some politicians and public officials who in some areas seek votes through promises known to be morally and spiritually wrong. Unreasonable zealots are seen intimidating authori­ ties. Lunatic violence. Judicial processes and courts boldly rebuffed. And to these complaints vou can add your own to an endless list. Good intentioned people are bewildered by the di- lemna of moral values turned topsy-turvy. What can be done about it? > For one thing it certainly is not helpful to condemn everything and everybody. And we certainly don't need "new" concepts for correction of our faults. It should be obvious we need more adherence to the old rules; obedience to the 10 commandments. We need faith in religious reliance and an alliance with God. . . can be happy doing for the rest of his life with regard to work. The Bell Telephone company in McHenry welcomed the WECEP class as Stan Joswiak, manager, explained to the class the values of a high school education with respect to finding a good job. A tour was taken within the actual work area where hundreds and hundreds of miles of wires are all intricately placed in rows. The girls were escorted on a special field trip to O'Hare airport, where four stewar­ desses with United Airlines told the girls about the requirements in becoming an airline stewardess. They also told of some of their ex­ periences in more than twenty years combined service. Followirig lunch the girls were permitted on board a 747 and a DC 10 - the two largest passenger jets in service for United Airlines, where the stewardesses explained and showed some of the routine duties of a stewardess on board the luxury liners. After summer school, the class spent a day at an amusement park, where everyone enjoyed the rides and other entertainment. State'S Attorney First Speaker In Potpourri Series State's Attorney William Cowlin was the first speaker to be presented on the Wednesday evening Potpourri series at the Whispering Oaks Community center. Mr. Cowlin spoke on "McHenry County, Its Problems and the Growing Concern Over the Increase of Drug Usage Among Our Young." The introduction to McHenry county proved to be especially interesting as many of the residents of Whispering Oaks have moved to the Oaks from outside of the county. A good joke is heard far and wide and for many years. Serviceman On Leave After Basic Training Course A very welcome face was greeted at Joan and Lou Laskowski's home recently when their son, Johnny, arrived on leave after finishing ten weeks of basic training at Fort Dix, N.J. It was a hard ten weeks and "home" never looked better to him. Three days of his leave were spent up at Kay Ryan's farm in Blair, Wis., with his brother, Mark, sister-in-law, Patti, and three nieces, /Kris-Elise, Aimee-Jon and Erin-Renee, and five days were spent at home visiting with his parents and friends. He returned from O' Hare Field bound for Fort Jackson, South Carolina where he will start A.I.T., Advanced Infantry Training, and is anxiously awaiting another eight day leave which he saved to come home again for some duck hunting or possibly during the Christmas holidays. Good luck to you, Johnny, and we shall all be looking forward to seeing you on your next visit home. SAWISCH-MAJOR WEDDING A very beautiful wedding took place on Saturday, Sept. 16 at St. John the Baptist Catholic church in Johnsburg when Richard Sawisch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sawisch of Birch street, and Janice Major, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Major, were united in marriage at a 3 p.m. Mass. A reception immediately following the ceremony was held at the Johnsburg Com­ munity hall for approximately 175 relatives and friends, and cocktails, dancing and a delicious buffet supper was enjoyed by all. Among those present from the subdivision were the entire Mahon family, Bill, MaryAnn, Debbie, Billy and Julia. Richard and Jan left on a week's honeymoon trip to No woman ever makes a fool of a man; she merely exhibits him. 73 FORDS ARE HERE. At 60 mph a 73 Ford LTD rode quieter than an airborne glider. Quiet is the sound of a well-made car. And the new LTD is well made in every sense of the word. That's why it's so quiet. Outside it has all-new styling. And inside you'll enjoy luxury, comfort and room--with power front disc brakes, power steering and automatic trans- ^ mission as standard equipment. THE QUIET 1973 FORD LTD BROUGHAM (shown with optional Deluxe Bumper Group, Convenience Group, deluxe wheel covers, front cornering lamps and whitewall tires). A73 Torino rode so smooth, a high wire artist kept balance on a road of 2x4's. Smooth riding, strong and quiet--the solid mid-size car. You'll appreciate how the new Torino's refined suspension helps to cushion bumps, absorb road vibrations and reduce body sway. You feel solidly in control while you ride in comfort and luxury.

Congratulations and best wishes are extended to this fine young couple from everyone here in Holiday Hills and may they always be as happy as they were on their beautiful wedding day. KEEP SMILING KURT Keep smiling and get-well quick is everyone's wish to little Kurt Roth of Holiday Drive this week as he broke his arm at school on the J playground and has bfeew' feeling pretty miserable. It's hard on an active ten year old boy to have his right arm in a cast for four to six weeks and we all hope he will heal quickly and that the time will pass very fast for him. HARVEY BETH HOME FROM HOSPITAL So glad to hear that Harvey Beth is now home from Rock- ford Memorial hospital following surgery last week. He will be recuperating at home for several weeks, and cer­ tainly wouldn't mind some neighbors visiting to make the time go faster. WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE Several of the neighbors have been hard hit by the recent storms in our area. As you may have noticed, Holiday Drive has been blocked off in portions because of the channel over­ flowing, and along with it, flooding several homes. Any aid of any kind would be ap­ preciated. And no doubt you have noticed the deplorable con­ dition of our roads. Not only is the road grader not func­ tioning, but the rains have made the ruts 'even worse. However, it would be very much appreciated by all the neighbors if all drivers would drive slowly down the center of the roads. Most all the drivers have been driving as close to the edge as possible to avoid the ruts, but in doing so, they have been slowly, inch by inch, ruining many front lawns. Some lawns are almost three feet back from where they once were, and this has now become roadway. You can easily tell this by all the mailboxes jutting out, where once they were even with the edge of the lawn. So please, have some consideration for your neighbor's lawns. The roads and the rain can't possibly stay this bad forever, we hope, but in the meantime, we are ruining our lovely lawns and neighborhood for next year. SCHOOL TIME AND BUS STOPS We have received a com­ plaint from one of the neighbors living near a bus stop about all the kids throwing rocks on the lawn. This is not the first time this has happened, and not only in this area, but near all the bus stops for the children. The school has been contacted, but apparently they have no jurisdiction about what goes on at a bus stop. They are only in control once the kids get on the bus. That leaves the problem to the parents. So please remind your children, young and old alike, about this problem. Maybe you can send them to the bus stop only shortly before • the bus is due to arrive, so that they will not have time to fool GLAUCOMA MOBILE TESTING UNIT Lions Candy Day Makes Glaucoma Test Possible Illinois Lions who will be out collecting funds on Candy Day for the Blind, Friday, Oct. 6, have more than just help for the blind as a target. Goal of the one day drive is a record $850,000. But that is only the financial aspect of it. What that $850,000 means is not only help for the blind, but positive programs to prevent blindness. According to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, every twenty minutes at least one American goes blind. "What we want to do is help cut that figure," said A.G. "Ang" Marcheschi, of Niles, state Candy Day chairman. "We want the society to cut the toll through its programs." With Candy Day funds from the Lions, the society is also attempting to reduce the toll of more than 1,000 eye injuries that occur every eight hour working day; also to safeguard vision by early detection of glaucoma. This disease leads all other causes of preventable blindness. The society has estimated Illinois has ap­ proximately 100,000 persons suffering from undetected glaucoma. "Lions are proud of their glaucoma mobile testing unit provided by Candy Day funds and manned by Society per­ sonnel," said Marcheschi, who is also state chairman of the Lions of Illinois Blind Activities committee. "This year the Lions mobile unit tested its 100,000 visitor. And it has visited 550 com­ munities in twenty-eight months of operation. More importantly it has uncovered 628 cases of glaucoma and 639 cases of possible glaucoma," he said. Candy Day also helps support research by ophthalmologists at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary of the University of Illinois hospital. ' The Illinois Eye Bank is located at the infirmary and supplies eye tissue for corneal transplants. Lions clubs sup­ port the bank financially and with eye pledges. Last year there were 234 corneal tran­ splants to restore sight at the infirmary. To safeguard vision, the Society for the Prevention of Blindness fosters programs of industrial and home safety, visual screening for pre­ schoolers, and vision testing for school age children. Often Lions clubs help in the projects. "Candy Day translates into happier, more useful lives for the blind and visually han­ dicapped and for those who will remain untouched by the handicap," said William Howell of McHenry, chairman of the Lions of Illinois Council of Governors. Variety Of Activities Open To "Y" Members Walter Jollie, YMCA program chairman, announced that a variety of fall YMCA activities are scheduled. Op­ portunities to participate in YMCA activities are available to families, grade school boys and girls, teens, adults, fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, living in the Lake Region service area. Fall activities will begin Oct. 4 through Oct. 17. around. Rocks and stones play havoc with lawn mowers, and that's the main problem. So again, please impress on your children the seriousness of this problem.
