ENJOYS WORKSHOP, Coming home from the workshop for publicity chairmen at McHenry hospital last Thursday, I felt a great deal of pride for being associated in my very small way with the staff of the Plaindealer. The excellence of editor, Adele Froehlich and photographer, Wayne Gaylord, is too little mentioned and too little appreciated. HARRISON HIGHLIGHTS The first issue of this year's Harrison Highlights was in circulation at the school last Friday, Sept. 28. Members of the paper's staff include: Editor-in-chief, Kathy Ahem; News Editor, Marty Deener; Feature Editor, Laura Higgins; Sports Editor, Steve Williams. Columns are written by students from grades 6, 7, and 8, of the Harrison Highlighters Club. Oct. 1, marked the third anniversary of the Harrison Highlights. (Although - there are some "old" Harrison alumni around who claim there was a little green H.H. published many years ago and some "savers" have copies put away in the attic to prove it. Right Pam?) SUCCESSFUL CARD PARTY It never seems to fail - call on the people in Wonder Lake to help with a needy cause and they respond in full measure. Such was the case with the FISH card party last Wed­ nesday evening. An abundance of cakes were donated for the "desserts" - so many in fact, that the end of the party turned into a bake sale. The cooperation of the entire community and the success of the party will enable the FISH to maintain its 24 hour service to the people in our area for many months to come. To ALL who contributed to this cause in any way whatsoever - you're something else! Conceited? Some people have said that I'm conceited but that's not true. I just have a fondness for the good things in life and I happen to be one of them.

Illinois Autumn Colors In Wisconsin Sought By Local Couple by The Rev. William Hanner We are off <Jn another of our little triplets. It was a short day's run to Madison, Wis. Here we had heard about a French restaurant run by some University of Wisconsin folks. It looked to me as though an easy day's run and plenty of time for dinner ought to be a good start for a week of tree color hunting. There were some few trees in color after we crossed the line into Wisconsin but the best is ahead. We found our French restaurant in Madison. It is in a basement and the food is not cheap but it is superbly prepared and lovingly served. No cocktails ; they dull the taste buds. We started off with hors d'oeuvres. They were intricate and beautifully made. There was caviar, herring, smoked sausage, French cheeses, anchovies with shallots, cucumbers and a number of others. The second course was vichyssoise with chives followed by a good salad of crisp greens and a special dressing with herbs you couldn't identify. The entree was filet mignon with Madiera sauce, assorted vegetables and a taste of an elegant salmon loaf to let you see what they could do with sea food. For dessert I had a tasty buttermilk pie topped with halves of fresh pears, strawberries and almonds. The coffee was rich and flavorful. We had a bottle of (half) of a good red grave bottled in France and left feeling well fed and ex­ travagant. We don't do this sort of thing very often but once in a while it is fun. There is beginning to spring up about the country several chains of motels that are breaking the high price rules. Back in the 20s you could get "cabins" for $1 per occupant. They were very simple but clean and comfortable and you could sleep in them pretty well. After all a motel is supposed to sell sleep. Over the years motels have gotten fancier and dearer. Well, they are pretty steep and in accordance with economic laws cheaper chains are coming in. Tonight we are in a big, clean, simple motel with two beds. There is a good bath, topnotch towels, fine mat­ tresses and spring and good lighting. There is only one chair. I am typing this on the side of one bed. You put 15 cents in the TV for two hours. It is air conditioned. It is clean, clean, clean! It is high time we get more and simpler, cheaper motels. Madison is a state capitol. I have visited upward of twenty state capitols. Illinois capitol at Springfield is old fashioned and "other day" looking but is ours and I love it. At Annapolis, Md., the old capitol stands in the midst of town and you can still see where Washington stood when he resigned his com­ mission as commander of the Continental Army. In Salem, Ore., there is a fine public of­ fice for the governor in the capitol where I was told he receives any caller on certain days for the year. Whether this it really so or not I do not know. At Lincoln, Neb., the capitol is of sky scraper height. From its top you can see all over. The Executive Mansion lies at your feet. The capitol has ortly one room or chamber for its legislature. It is the only state with a legislature of only one house (unicameral). In Louisiana Huey Long is memorialized by the skyscraper capitol he built there. In Jackson, Miss., we visited the capitol early one morning. Ross Barnett was the governor. He was being driven up the drive to the capitol by a state trooper. He stopped the car and got out and visited with us for a few minutes. In the rotunda are large oil portraits of the two Mississippi girls who have been Miss America. In Massachusetts the Cod fish hangs over the speaker's chair. Wisconsin's capitol is set on a hill. All the streets run toward it as at Washington, D.C. It is big, beautiful and complicated. We got lost four times. There were no guides to take you about as at Nebraska for example. Harvest time is here. Herds are munching in the fields, tobacco is drying in the sheds, the moraines grace the sky line. Thank God for open country. PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3.1*73 County Students Rate High In GED Testing A report /issued by the G e n e r a l / E d u c a t i o n a l Development* Testing program for the 1972 calendar year in­ dicates 'that students from McHenry county perform significantly higher than those on a nation-wide or state-wide level in completing the G.E.D. program. The program is designed for adults who have not completed the requirements for high school graduation. Through successful completion of the tests, students can meet requirements for a high school equivalency diploma. "The lower failure rate en­ joyed by those tested locally speaks highly of the quality of the instruction taking place in the various G.E.D. preparation classes," said John Adelmann, counselor at McHenry County college. Adelmann is in charge of the G.E.D. Testing center located at the college. The nation-wide statistics show that 32 percent of the students taking the test fail; state-wide, this rate is 35 percent. However, in McHenry county, the failure rate is only 8 percent. The college offers review courses for those persons in the county who plan to take the G.E.D. test, although at­ tendance in these classes is not a requirement for taking the test. The report also showed that the McHenry county statistics were similar to those nation­ wide and state-wide in average age of participant (27.3 years in McHenry county) and the average amount of schooling of participants (9.71 years). The report also showed that McHenry county is lower in the percentage of participants who plan to continue schooling. "More than half of the in­ dividuals tested throughout Illinois indicated an intent to continue schooling; little more than one-third of those tested locally indicated a similar intent," according to Adelmann. "I think this em­ phasizes the continuing need for us at a college to continue and intensify our efforts to make the community aware of the college's comprehensive nature and of the fact that learning is a life-long process." Information about the G.E.D. t e s t , o r a b o u t t h e G . E . D . Preparation is available through Adelmann at the college, 6200 Northwest high­ way, Crystal Lake. New Film One of the major studios is working on a combination West­ ern, horror picture, and musical. It's going to have a title some­ thing like this: "The Phantom Of The Horse Opera." 8 EXTRA DRY ICALVERTI r IM WA YATG9 (B(M) GLENM0RE 10 YR. OLD j. w. DANT fliARlXMI V.E.Q.
