P\<;K 10-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST!, 1973 TWO DIE IN WEEKEND CRASHES (Continued from page 1) Smith told deputies he was south-bound on the highway and as he approached the bridge, noticed a large animal on the roadway. He swerved to avoid the animal and struck the side of the bridge, causing him to lose control of the car. The car left the road on the east side, ran onto the lawn in a side skid and stopped when it hit the side of the house. Electrical boxes on the home and shrub- bery in the yard were damaged in the incident. .John A. Zimny, 1719 N. Rogers avenue. McHenry, was c ited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident following a two-car. rear-end accident early Saturday morning on Route 31. just north of Crystal Lake avenue Keith C. Brooks of Route 5. Prosser. Wash., was north-bound on the highway when he was struck from behind by Zimny's auto. Zimny verified Brook's statement. Lillie J Hovseth of 705 Pheasant Trail, McHenry, was ticketed by deputies for failure to yield right of way at in­ tersection after she collided with another auto driven by Anthony P. Seday of 611 Klmwood. Ingleside. The nushap occurred at the corner of Ringwood and Spring Grove roads, north of McHenry, Saturday morning about 10 o'clock Ms Hovseth said she was east-bound on Ringwood road and had stopped at the in­ tersection Observing no ap­ proaching traffic, she pulled out and the collision occurred. Seday reported his car was struck on the left side as he entered the intersection. A two-car accident Thursday morning on Route 14, west of Sand road, resulted in a ticket being issued to Robert E. Williams of 29 Grange place, Elk Grove Village, for driving on left side of roadway. Herbert F. Clausen of 601 S. Broadway, McHenry, was east- bound on the highway at­ tempting to make a left turn when his auto was struck by Williams' car. Williams said Clausen's auto pulled in front of him as he was leaving a private driveway. To avoid impact, Williams at­ tempted to pass on the left side. Robin Harris of 1307 Park street, McHenry, was taken to McHenry hospital by the Rescue squad Saturday af­ ternoon after she fell from her bicycle at the corner of Elm and Front streets. She reported the wheel of the bike slipped into a grate causing her to fall and injure her face. Two-year-old James R. Cooper of 8520 N. Solon road, Richmond, was taken to the hospital for a checkup after he was hit by a car while playing in the yard of his home last Thursday morning. David J. Meyers of 5722 Broadway, Richmond, was east-bound on Kuhn road. As he approached the intersection with Solon road, he applied his brakes but they failed to operate. He reached for the emergency brake but it was too late and the auto started skidding. It traveled through the stop intersection, across the front yard at 8520 N. Solon where it hit the Cooper child, crashed through a wooden fence and finally stopped when it hit the side of a metal barn. Neither Meyers nor his three passengers, Walter J. Stuart, Val J.

FIVE-DAY FAIR AUG. 1-5 (Continued on page 10) Commercial exhibits are now in place, and the carnival is ready for Kiddies day Aug. 1 when rides are at half price. Livestock opens at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the livestock barns and in Hansen pavilion, the showing for the dairy and beef animals. McHenry county's fair is broadening in its exhibits and its appeal each year, and this year's fair contains such diverse attractions as snowmobile racing, two af­ ternoons of harness racing, an outstanding pony show with entries from several states, tractor pulling and beauty queen judging, and the usual emphasis on 4-H projects and 4- H boys and girls. The fair board continues its free grandstand policy this year to encourage the broadest possible attendance by young and old because the variety of attractions before the grand­ stand throng is meritorious. The 1,490 4-H boys and girls occupy the Thursday night spotlight, climaxed with the crowning of the 4-H King and Queen from among a dozen candidates. The county Talent contest will be the Friday night draw as local talent presents a good show. Competition for the livestock entries is conducted in three areas - 4-H, Junior Open class, and Senior Open class. In addition, many home economics exhibitors can compete in either 4-H, or Open class--or both. Open class competition is offered in such diverse areas as fine arts, foods, clothes, flowers, rabbits, grain and vegetables. Altogether, the McHenry County Fair association is offering a total of $18,497.25 in prize money for open class exhibitors. In addition, prize money is offered in specialty events such as tractor pull, $660; tractor rodeo, $160; horse show, $1,775; and two days of harness racing, $3,600. The 4-H and FFA Livestock auction of Saturday is another example of a distinctive small community event, for through the phase of the fair many businessmen, industries, politicians, and individual citizens demonstrate their support of the value 4-H and FFA provide boys and girls by bidding on animals offered at the auction. Big news this year is the way many businesses, special in­ terest groups, educationally- minded individuals and organizations and others have decided to exhibit at the fair this year. All three commercial exhibit buildings have been reserved for more than a month. Much of the outdoor space has been contracted for by exhibitors. Such groups as the McHenry County Sheriff's department, the McHenry County Civil Defense, the fifteen American Legion posts of McHenry county through the County council and the McHenry County Farm Bureau's Young Farmers organization are indicative of the variety of exhibitors planning booths. A special police force is on duty at the fairgrounds and emergency health care and fire department protection staff and equipment are also based on the fairgrounds throughout the fair. An important aspect of the McHenry County Fair is the tremendous contribution in time, talent and energy by dozens of volunteers. The fair is guided by an elected board of directors. Charles Weingart, McHenry dairy farmer, is serving his third year as president, and like many of the other department heads and officers, he's been virtually a full time volunteer worker in behalf of a smooth operating, efficiently conducted at­ traction. With upwards of 50,000 persons attending during the five-day event, it is a serious responsibility in terms of safety, security, entertainment quality and judging and exhibiting smoothness. Everett Hunter, Woodstock, is vice-president; Jack Hayes, Woodstock, treasurer; Jim P e d e r s e n , A l g o n q u i n , secretary. SLAIN POLICE OFFICER'S FAMILY RESIDES LOCALLY (Continued on page 10) found in the doorway of the restaurant. One witness said the gunman did not attempt a robbery. Informed of the killing by a passerby, two police sergeants cruising in the area trapped the suspect, George E.

Cullotta was reported to be the third Chicago policeman killed this year as an "heroic officer". Besides his wife, Elizabeth, two sons, Michael and James, and his parents, he also leaves a brother, Thomas, and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas (Patricia) Trendler and Irene.

DELIVER TAX BILLS AUG. 1 (Continued from page 1) us to turn out these tax bills in about three weeks," Mrs. Walgenbach said. "We could have mailed the bills on or before the first of July had there not been a month's delay waiting for the State of Illinois decision on equalization of assessments. "The McHenry County Treasurer showed her recognition of taxpayers' dislike for the minimum 30-day statutory period for full payment of the tax bills when she said, "I continue to call for improved cooperation and a BURGLARY, THEFT CHARGES FILED AGAINST FOUR (Continued from page 1) brother, Phillip Luebbing, of 1220 Croyden, Fox Lake. He was taken into custody in his home. It was discovered that one of the boats belonged to Donald Howard of 1504 N. Riverside drive, McHenry, and had been stolen from his pier.

Park Ranger Gene Merdian speeded-up tax preparation cycle, starting at the grass roots with the township assessors, and on up through the Board of Review. We want to get back to June 1-Sept. l payments dates. Extending payment beyond Sept. 1 en­ courages borrowing by taxing bodies, and the interest money on the loans comes out of the taxpayer's money which should be buying education, fire and police protection, roads, etc." I was making routine patrols of the area Sunday morning about 9:15 when he discovered an auto parked on a lane near the home. He went to the house and observed that the door had been kicked in. Hearing male voices, he called to them but they fled through another exit. Merdian returned to his patrol car to call for assistance and then blocked the road the offenders had used. While Merdian waited for help, the two men returned for their vehicle but the ranger suc­ ceeded in detaining them until deputies arrived. Inside the home, a suitcase was found with goods packed inside, apparently in preparation for taking it out of the building.
