A BIT OF SWEDEN (Continued from page 1) visiting McHenry for the next year as the new American Field Service international scholarship student. Christer, who comes from Goteborg, Sweden, will be spending the next year with Mr. and Mrs. Paul Walkington of Ringwood. The Walkingtons applied early this year to be a host family to this year's AFS student In mid-August, their hopes were fulfilled as Christer stepped off the bus after a long and eventful trip from the rugged coast of Sweden to the shores of the Fox river. Says Mrs. Walkington, "It didn't take long for us to recognize each other. Through our correspondence, we came to know Christer rather well." But that long awaited meeting was a long road for Christer, beginning with his application to AFS in Sweden. Upon acceptance, he had to plan for a full year of living and study in the United States. Then, it wasthe trip itself. Long hours on a plane from Sweden to New York, where he stayed for a few days to attend AFS orientation... a chance to acquaint himself with the new. environment, language, customs and day to day living in a new country. From there, it was a long and tiring bus journey to McHenry. But as challenging as the journey may have been, more challenges are in store for Christer. He is attending McHenry high school West campus this fall, putting his bilingual abilities to the test as he takes regular courses along with the other students. No doubt he'll have much help along the way, however, for Christer's new family in­ cludes three new brothers and one sister in the Walkington family. However, 18-year-old Lee is the only one living at home now. This is a change from his home, where Christer is an only child. His home town of Goteborg is the second largest city in Sweden. There, his father is a traffic foreman for the Swedish railroad. He has travelled before. A one-month trip to France was an enlightening experience for Christer. Perhaps it was the spark that kindled his desire to seek further travel and lear­ ning through AFS In­ ternational. Any big surprises so far for 17-year-old Christer? Not really, he said. But that was after only a few days in America. He claims a special liking for Italian and French food, and only the upcoming months will tell whether hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza will find a spot on his list of gourmet favorites. Meanwhile, Christer will be studying, and perhaps more importantly, learning about Americans and theft* way of life through first hand' experience in family living. Of course, that learning is a two-way street, as local residents learn about life in a foreign land through a new friend. All of McHenry is urged to participate in the AFS ex­ perience. Christer will be available to give presentations about Sweden and his personal perspectives on AFS op­ portunities. Those groups or organizations interested in meeting him and learning more about life in Sweden are urged to contact Frieda Durkin, president of McHenry AFS. Also, Americans Abroad returnees are available for similar presentations about their foreign experiences. In the meantime, anyone who meets someone who looks and dresses like a regular McHenry 'teenager but has a Scan- .w" lavian accent, say "Hello!' AFS is a non-profit organization, established to promote international un­ derstanding through the ex­ change of students between far ranging countries in the free world. Through the efforts of McHenry AFS, McHenry has been fortunate enough to participate on both sides of the exchange for many years. . The local chapter has hosted students from as far away as Japan, Malasia and Brazil, and has sent deserving area youths to South America, Europe and the Far East and recently to Australia.

Later, information was received indicating that the vehicle had been driven into a fence owqed by Arthur Huff­ man of 809 W. Southside, McHenry, and although 'damage was done, the oc­ cupants of the car succeeded in freeing the auto from the "fencing and driving away. Finally, the automobile was found abandoned on Northlake avenue in McHenry. The identity of the offenders remained unknown Monday afternoon as investigation continued. Elsewhere, James H. Pearl of Round Lake Park was ticketedf for the unlawful transportation or possession of alcoholic liquor following a two- car accident Friday evening on Wilmot road. Pearl was cited after his vehicle collided with an auto owned by Larry K. Withrow, 310 Willow road, McHenry. The Withrow car, which was demolished, was apparently parked at the time of the collision. Pearl's car sustained an estimated $1,000 damage, and although the driver was injured, he did not require medical attention. Pearl told police that Withrow pulled his auto onto the road from a driveway, and after the accident, fled the scene on foot. A witness stated" that Pearl was southbound on Wilmot road and drove off the roadway, striking the Withrow car, which had been parked several feet off the roadway due to mechanical problems. Fred R. Berg of 5117 N. Beacon Hill road in McHenry was ticketed for driving in violation of his license classification following a one- vehicle collision Sunday evening on Ringwood road.

He added that, as a result, he drove off the road and went through the hedge to avoi^ a tree. Finally, Edward J. Koepke of 1924 N. Woodlawn Park, McHenry, was taken by the Johftsburg Rescue squad to McHenry hospital for treat­ ment of injuries sustained in a three-car accident Sunday evening on Johns burg road in Johnsburg. Koepke was injured when his car collided with one driven by William A. Meath, 3718 Waukegan road, McHenry. The impact from the collision resulted in the Koepke car banging into a parked auto, owned by Mark Schultz of Ingleside. No tickets were issued in connection with the accident. Meath stated he pulled out of the Wooden Nickel tavern parking lot, and headed west on Johnsburg road. He further stated that Koepke pulled out of the Apple Inn tavern and was eastbound on Johnsburg road, but in the westbound lane. Meath added that he swerved to the left to avoid a collision, but impact was made with the Koepke auto, the driver of which also swerved in a futile effort to avoid the collision. The Koepke auto then continued eastbound, striking the Schultz auto, which was parked and unoccupied at the side of the road. Koepke stated he pulled out of the lower parking lot of the Apple Inn and headed east on Johnsburg road. He added that all he remembered was striking a parked car. He said he recalled another vehicle, but didn't know which lane he, or the other car, was in. Deaths Introducing: FRAMES ETC.

Prices quoted for bulk meat are usually based on weight before trim­ ming, not on the meat you take home. And you normally lose about 30 per cent of a typical 600 pound carcass when it is trimmed. Thus, meat priced at $1 a pound ends up costing you about $1.45. hou can't fly away m chickenfeed y-. ne*er iret ••If the irronnd wh*n vmi'rf »h«»rl of rufh.
