Wisconsin Countryside Described By Travelers ACTIVE MARIAN HIGH - "There's something for everyone" ai Marian Central high school and the students pictured above are out to prove it. Sue Sullivan, Mary Mitchell and Mark Davis are demonstrating props indicating activities that will be featured at the Parents association meeting Oct. 15. The Parent's association of Marian Central high school in Woodstock will present a program at the Oct. 15 meeting which will prove that inactivity is not included in the school curriculum. The meeting opens at 8 p.m. Lou Hartlieb, dean of students, will review for parents and friends of Marian, the activity program that is now in full swing. Hartlieb will discuss the activity periods, athletic program and various clubs available to the students and will answer any questions parents may have. Robert Gough, moderator of the Outdoor club, will present slides of the club's Spring trip tri the Current river in the Ozark National forest in Missouri. Donald Doherty, of McHenry, president of the association, welcomed over 200 parents to the September meeting and is hoping to repeat the success Oct. 15. Parents of freshmen should be particularly interested in the program and the effort being made to assist students in becoming both socially and athletically active.

Publicity Committee THE HORICON MARSHES By Rev. William Hanner We have moved north to Appleton tonight. All day we drove slowly through Wisconsin stopping to savor the cities and towns we pass through and giving the countryside our inspection. We note: Many herds of fine cattle. Wisconsin is of course a dairy leader. The minor lettered roads in Wisconsin are outstandingly well cared for. Some sheep are raised. No black faced sheep as in Scotland. A flag, a new one flying before a house - the base of the flag pole piled high with yellow pumpkins. Behind the flag on top of a rise of ground a herd of Holsteins. Very Wisconsiny. As in Illinois new barns are metal. You don't store hay anymore. Tractors take gas. The Whitewater campus of the University of Wisconsin now has grown and grown and Storm Fails To Halt Music Of Kitchen Band Monday evening, Oct. 1, amidst a fall electrical storm, the McHenry Senior Citizens club kitchen band was en­ tertaining the Ladies guild at St. Patricks church in McHenry. Even when the lights went out momentarily, the pianist and the band kept playing, never missing a note in the darkness. The audience was large and very receptive, and the band, enthusiastic as usual, presented a very lively program. The audience had a hearty laugh as Mrs. Dolly Mazzarella introduced Ray Murphy who plays "Mrs. Murphy's Pot Covers" sym­ bolizing the usual cymbals. He was resplendent in his new vest which matches the "uniform" dresses worn by the other members. The band has had a com­ pletely new repertoire this year, consisting not only of band numbers, but solos, the dancing couple, and the "teapot" melodies. They play marches, current hit tunes, semi-classical numbers and hymns. The band is booked up completely for the balance of the season which ends with a program for the Halloween party of the McHenry Senior Citizens club Oct. 22.

Mushroomed in the last ten years. We passed a Diesel truck driving school. Big trucks plied about a laid out course. At Columbus there were duck farms. Oh! the many, many lovely old homes of brick. Today there is so much evidence of trying to meet rising costs. Trailer homes everywhere. As gas goes up we are bound to get smaller cars. The Wayland Academy at Beaver Dam reminded me of the many children I have known who have been schooled there. A pheasant flies across the road. A hillside is decorated with variegated sumac in all shades of red. A packing house for a famous seed company is over there. Here is the first clump of birches. There is so much to see. Keep your eyes open. But the BEST part about this day was the Horicon marshes. 31,000 acres of them; divided between the Federal Govern­ ment and the State of Wisconsin. The marshes lie north of the town of Horicon, east of Beaver Dam about half way to Fond du Lac, hollowed out by the glacier 10,000 years ago. They have been a lake and lakes at sundry times. Now they are part of the federal wild life preserves that I told about last winter when I discussed Crab Orchard Reserve near Marian, 111., and the "Ding" Darling Reserve on Sanibel Island in Florida. The Horicon Marshes care for any wild life but their main "customer" is'the Canada Goose. From the road (Route 49, west of Waupun) we could see thousands of them grazing (they are grass feeders.) There are about 2,000,000 in the United States and they are found everywhere in the U.S. save Hawaii. A full grown hopker may have a wing span of six feet. They nest around James Bay in the Canadian Province of Ontario and winter about the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. They may weigh up to ten pounds. These geese mate for life. They can fly up to 60 miles an hour though they normally travel at about 40 miles an hour. In the wild they live about five years. 20 percent of the population are normally harvested each year. Game laws vary from year to year. About 150,000 of these birds visit thejefuge each year. They are large brownish grey birds standing about two feet tall. Their long neck is black and so is the top of the head but they pack a white napkin of feathers under their chins. They normally fly at less than 1,000 feet but have been seen at 9,000. In the southern part of the refuge belonging to Wisconsin there has been an outbreak of botulism among the teal duck population. It affects the ducks' nervous system and many have died this fall. It is now thought to be under control. One can hardly overestimate the importance of the many refugees for wildlife operated by our national and local govenments. Here the animals and birds sense their security and get themselves reestablished. Humph!! Tonight we are in a chain motel. It cost twice what we paid last night and isn't half as roomy, quiet or comfortable. It is on the edge of the fields outside of town. A cricket is singing a little tinny solo. I can plainly smell a skunk and a helicopter just landed with a guest for the motel. PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1973 Urge Employment Of Handicapped In Special Week Here and There In Business Sewage Treatment Plant Planned For Terra Cotta The Terra Cotta Realty Co. broke ground recently for a three-stage sewage treatment plant to serve their properties at Terra Cotta. George A. Berry, III, president of Terra Cotta Realty Co., announced that the design of the plant had been in engineering with the firm of Baxter & Woodman, civil and sanitary engineers, with George Heck, the project engineer, for a period of more than three years. The plant will be one of the most modern private sewage disposal facilities in the northern part of the state and exceeds the requirements of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency whose engineers ap­ proved the design of Baxter & Woodman during the period of development and issued final construction and operating permits in June of this year. Component of Gulf Stream The Florida Current, a major component of the Gulf Stream, carries past Miami more than 50 times the total flow of all the freshwater rivers of the world. Broad Continent! The continent of Asia is so broad that the sun spends 11 hours -- nearly half its daily journey -- moving from Siberia's . ip to Turkey's Aegean shore. Handicapped people, for whom normal employment is urged during national Employ the Physically Handicapped week, are trained in the workshops of Goodwill In­ dustries of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin at Rock- ford, Norman K. Dasenbrook, explained. NEPH week is from Oct. 7 to 13 and is sponsored by the President's Committee on Employment of the Physically Handicapped as well as state and local committees. Goodwill Industries, an accredited rehabilitation workshop, is now serving over 350 disabled annually. During the past thirty-seven years, the agency has served over 5,000. Nationally, the organization serves over 100,000 annually. The Goodwill program provides work evaluation, adjustment and job experience, Dasenbrook said. This work program is made possible by the program of repairing, renovating and reconditioning clothing,c toys and housewares for resale and by contract work. Workers in Goodwill earn while they learn. They are paid wages in accord with sheltered workshop standards.
