He was reported in satisfactory con­ dition at the hospital Monday morning. Clarence L. Nation of 279 Mill Creek Apartments, Buffalo Grove, told deputies he was east-bound on the highway when for no apparent reason, the Kanak auto veered into his lane and a collision occurred. No statement was taken from Kanak due to his injuries. Robert L. Murphy of 643 E. Calhoun street, Woodstock, was taken to McHenry hospital by the Richmond Rescue squad following an accident last Saturday morning about 1 o'clock at the intersection of Routes 31 and 12, south of Rich­ mond. James J. Michels of 5032 Barnard Mill road, Ringwood, was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an ac­ cident. He was south-bound on Route 31 when the car in front of him suddenly stopped and he was unable to avoid a collision. Murphy was south-bound on Route 31 when a car in front of him stopped and tried to make a U-turn. Murphy applied his brakes and just missed hitting the other auto when his vehicle was struck by Michels' car. David H. Ewing of 8017 Widoff road, Wonder Lake, escaped serious injury after his pickup truck left the road, went into a ditch and landed on its side. The mishap occurred Saturday morning about 2:45 on Route 12, V4 mile west of Three Oaks road, near Cary. Officers noted the truck went off the north side of the road, just missed a guard rail, went over several large rocks which tore the rear wheels off the vehicle, bounced off a tree and turned over on its side. Lillian V. Dravillas of 5513 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, was cited for improper turn at intersection after she collided with another car driven by Leroy B. Buchheit of 7919 Oakwood drive, Wonder Lake. The accident occurred last Wednesday morning at the corner of Bull Valley and Crystal Lake roads, south of McHenry.

It resulted in highways being flooded and the necessity for traffic detours. Fortunately, by the time the water reached this area the rise was slower since much of the flow was dispersed into surrounding lakes. However, Shay said the lakes were becoming so high they were unable to handle the load. Manager Stan Jozwiak of Illinois Bell Telephone reported 709 McHenry customers without telephone service Sunday due to a wet cable on River road. All service wris restored by 2 a.m. Monday. Another 530 customers in the Crystal Lake area had service disrupted for the same reason Saturday. HOLD THREE SEMINARS DURING MENTAL HEALTH WEEK (Continued from page 1) treatment.

NEW CITY OFFICIALS ARE INSTALLED (Continued from page 1) McHenry's position and asked that Paul be given a variance and limit it to five years. The Zoning Board of Appeals met Monday morning at McHenry county courthouse and voted to grant Paul a variance for a period of ten yt. s. In the matter of a zoning request by James Taggert, Fred Brodie and the National Bank of Austin, regarding the proposed Port Royal development in the Snug Harbor area, the ZBA recommended denial of the request by a vote of three to two. These recommendations will be made to the County board at its next regular meeting. It will take a three- fourths vote of the County board to rescind the ZBA decision. Returns of the April 17 election were opened and read by City Clerk Earl Walsh. This was a canvass of the returns, not a canvass of the ballots. The following were declared win­ ners: Joseph B. Stanek, mayor; Earl R. Walsh, city clerk; Thomas F. Bolger, city treasurer; Edward Datz, alderman Ward 1; Jack Pep­ ping, alderman Ward 2; James Wegener, alderman Ward 3 and Frank Hromec, alderman Ward 4. The Council also adopted a resolution to extend the in­ stallation of curbs and gutters from Meadow lane to Beach drive, Lakeland Park, for a cost of $13,400. Installation of telephones at the sewer plant was o.k.'d. Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer informed the board that the city was issuing a permit to Eagle Food store to expand its building by closing the alley and sharing a common wall with Hornsby's Family center at McHenry Market Place. In the closing minutes of the annual meeting, Alderman Ray Smith expressed feelings of gratitude to his fellow alder­ men and all other city em­ ployees he has served within the past twelve years. He? stated he has faith in the alderman who is taking his place and noted that new ideas would be5 brought to the Council. "We have to have them", Smith added. He concluded by saying, "I don't enjoy leaving but I thank you all for your help and the con­ sideration you gave me". In his final remarks to the Council, Mayor Doherty thanked the Police com­ mission, the Planning com­ mission, Zoning board mem­ bers and Police Pension board for all the time and effort they had contributed. He noted, "I will always be grateful for the advice and assistance given me by Earl Walsh, John Looze, FYed Meyer and Ken Espey." Doherty declared it had been a pleasure to serve as mayor and many things had been ac­ complished that all the Council could be proud of. "To the new officials, I wish them well in the future and as problems arise, I would hope that the progress of the city would be always kept first in mind," Doherty urged. "Again ' I would like to thank you and as my time comes to a close, I would like to say I will always remain a good citizen". At the conclusion of his remarks, Doherty received a standing ovation from all assembled in the Council Chambers and he adjourned the meeting amid an atmosphere of high emotion. Earl Walsh was first to be sworn into office as city clerk, with City Attorney John Looze administering the oath. Looze congratulated Walsh and declared, "If they ever put any statues in the city of McHenry, yours had better be the first or I'll come back and get 'em!" Walsh then administered the oath of office to Mayor Elect 'Thomas F. Bolger and Aldermen Elect Edward Datz, Jack Pepping, James Wegener and Frank Hromec. Following a short in­ termission, Mayor Stanek took the gavel and called the special meeting to order. He asked all to stand and led those assembled in the pledge? of allegiance to the flag. The Rev. Herman Graef of the Zion Lutheran church presented a short invocation. The Council passed resolutions commending and recognizing the dedication and accomplishment of Donald Doherty, Ted Pitzen and Ray Mon.-Fri. 8:30-8:30 | Saturday 8:30-6:00 Sunday 10:00-5:00 I spurgeons MARKET PLACE SHOPPING CENTER 4400 W.

District Flood Insurance Congressman John B. An­ derson has announced that the Federal Insurance ad­ ministration (Department of Housing and Urban Develop­ ment) will "accept applications sent directly" to that office for community eligibility for in­ surance under the National Flood Insurance program. "With the imminence of the spring flooding season," said Anderson, "the Administration has asked that I assist them by notifying the communities in my Congressional district which are exposed to flooding of the need to make application for eligibility in the National Flood Insurance program." The 16th district com­ munities affected are Belvidere, Dixon, Freeport, Galena, Harvard, Loves Park, McHenry, Mt. Morris, Oregon, Polo, Rochelle, Rockford, South Beloit, Sterling, Wonder Lake and Woodstock. Anderson continued: "In­ formation as to prerequisites for qualification is available either directly from the FIA in Washington or through the state coordinating agency. (The state agency for the 16th district is the Department of Local Government Affairs, 309 West Washington Street, Room 800, Chicago, Illinois 60606, Robert J. Lehnhausen, Director.) "But," Anderson added, "in view of heavy ac­ cumulations of snow and the unusually high level of the Great Lakes during these winter months, the FIA recognizes that the time necessary for processing an application through the state coordinating agency may delay insurance until it is too late to be of help. Therefore, ap­ plications may be sent directly to the Administration. "In such cases, the FIA has requested that a copy of the application be simultaneously sent to the Department of Local Govern­ ment Affairs for information purposes." Anderson concluded. "The FIA has assured me that it will be able to make flood insurance available in a community within three weeks after their receipt of a complete ap­ plication. I hope that the concerned communities in the 16th district will take ad­ vantage of this expeditious procedure being offered by the Federal Insurance agency."

Voters will go to the polls and decide whether or not they will support the library financially in the future. The referendum asks for a levy not to exceed $1.50 per $1,000 assessed valuation to maintain operation of the library, located in the multi­ purpose room of the Richmond village hall. Since the inception of the library last July, it has been financed by federal and some Smith. These signed documents were then presented to each man. In other business, fifteen Class A renewal liquor licenses were approved as were five Class F renewal licenses. One new Class B license was ap­ proved for Dorky's Beef and Egger which allows packaged or bottled beer to be served with meals. Wm. R. North was rehired to serve as City Auditor. Next regular meeting of the Council is scheduled for Monday night, April 30, at 8 p.m. state funds -- about $30,000 in all -- as a project. Now the public must decide whether it is willing to finance the library without this assistance. If the vote favors the library, the state will continue to support it for the second year until money is realized from the levy. If the referendum fails to pass, there will be no library. Voting will take place in four polling precincts. These include the Richmond village hall for residents of the incorporated area; the Burton township hall for residents of the village of Spring Grove; the auto body shop for those residing in the unincorporated area of Rich­ mond township; and the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Meyer for those living in the unincorporated parts of gurton township. ; At present, the library has stocked 2,000 books and in addition has access to film strips, art reproductions, films and records from the Rockford library.

Coleman, pastor emeritus of St. Bede's Catholic church, Ingleside, died at St. Therese hospital, Waukegan, Thursday, April 19, following a heart attack. Father Coleman, who had been at St. Bede's since 1928 when he was appointed by the late Cardinal Mundelein, entered the hospital several weeks ago following an auto accident. He was born in Detroit, Mich., Aug. 29, 1890, attended St. Cyril college and old Cathedral college. Later, he entered St. Paul seminary at St. Paul, Minn., where he was ordained in 1916. Father Coleman served as assistant priest at St. Charles Boromeo church, Our Lady of Mercy church and Nativity church in the Chicago area. He received his first pastorate in 1928 at St. Bede's church, which was then a simple wood building that seated 100. In 1928 his regular church attendance was composed of forty families. During summer months there was insufficient seating in the small church and many were forced to stand outside and look through the open windows to participate at Mass. The new St. Bede's church had its cornerstone laying in 1940 and the first Mass was celebrated Mother's day, 1942. He celebrated his fiftieth year as a priest June 12,1966, in the church hall, where hun­ dreds of well wishers, both Catholic and Protestant, gathered to honor him. The popular priest served as fire department chaplain for the Fox Lake volunteer fire department for many years and actively participated in betterment projects for his community. A requiem high Mass was offered at noon Monday in St. Bede's church, with burial in the church cemetery. Before that time the body rested at the K.K. Hamsher chapel, Fox Lake. HOWARD P.
