Prust, along with other bank employees were present to honor one who he described as "a great asset to the bank". Miss Frisby was founder of the Business ft Professional Women's club several years ago. As a member of the Woodstock club, she felt this was a worthwhile undertaking that should be established in . her home community. The new Woman of the Year was also honored for her helpfulness to others, par­ ticularly the elderly. Born and raised in McHeiiry, she was graduated from McHenry high school, which in recent years she has served as a member of the MCHS Ad­ visory council. ! Members of her family were present to see the surprised Miss Frisby receive her aware. Applause was evidence she was a popular choice with the large crowd in attendance.

VOTE NO! SAT., OCTOBER 22 FUNDS SOUGHT . (Continued frontpage 1) -Nancy Fike, representing the McHenry County Historical Museum. Her organization requested $5,000 in revenue- sharing funds to help defray rising costs of operating the museum. She noted that the museum benefits the com­ munity in many ways, such as sending speakers to various clubs, having school groups tour the museum, lending artifacts to the library for display, etc. -Jerry Raycraft and Ed Hammer, representing the McCullom Lake Conservation club. The dub asked for $37,558, which is 30 percent of the entire allocation. The club requested that amount because Lakeland Park is the voting address of 30 percent of the registered voters in the city, according to Hammer. Hammer added that the dredging project which the Conservation club has un­ dertaken will benefit the entire community, not just Lakeland Park. During the regular City Council meeting, Alderman Walther Schaedel questioned City Attorney Bernard Narusis as to whether or not the city could legally allocate any money to the Conservation club, inasmuch as McCullom lake is not in the city limits and city residents have no access to the lake. -Jack Pepping, chairman of the Planning commission. The commission agreed that the No. 1 need of the city of McHenry is the completion of a community center. The commission also agreed that construction of additional tennis courts is important. -Anna ' Mae Cuda, representing the residents around Boone creek. The residents are asking for fun­ ding for the development of Boone creek so that it will become an asset to the com­ munity. - - R i c h M c M i l l a n , representing eighteen students in an Urban Geography class at McHenry high school.

The students are seeking a swim­ ming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, a skateboarding rink, and a recreational center to be used by persons of all ages. -Alderman William Bolger, representing the Library bout). He said he had no dollar figure in mind, but if there was anything left over after all the allocations were made, the library could always use the additional funding. -Bill Miller, representing the McHenry Youth Football league. League officials requested $2,500, which would defray the costs for one-half of a season. Miller reported that the program includes 116 boys from the McHenry area at the present time. -John Camareo, Gary Gray, and Bill Pictor, all representing themselves, all spoke in favor of increased recreational facilities, with Gray and Pictor emphasizing the need for ad- ditonal, lighted tennis courts. There was one additional speaker at the public hearing. Sandra Milius, president of the McHenry-Woodstock League of. Women Voters, reported results of a survey the league had taken. Seventy-three percent of the respondents indicated that there was a need for additional recreational facilities, with 39 percent citing a swimming pool as a significant addition to the recreational program which the city offers. The Council will now examine each of the proposals, and will make a final decision Oct. 31 as to how the revenue- sharing funds will be spent. HIGH SPEED CHASE DAMAGES SQUAD CAR (Continued from page 1) light and went through the intersection before the light for eastbound traffic on Rt. 120 turned green. Butler further stated that he thai saw the red lights of the police car behind him and knew it was a squad car trying to stop him. But, he said he also knew his driver's license had been suspended, so he "put it to the boards" in an attempt to get out of the McHenry city limits; believing that the city squad car would no longer continue its attempt to stop him and he wocfld not be arrested. He explained that after going through another red light at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Riverside drive, and proceeding east across the Fox river, he observed the squad car was still in pursuit. Butler noted that he kept driving east on Rt. 120 in an attempt to outrun the police car, until he reached a point just east of Kent road. There, upon rounding a curve he suddenly felt his auto going out of control, and it skidded sideways off the south road edge. Butler concluded by saying that he recalled striking a utility pole, ^ut didn't remember what else occurred. Langdon stated that he was pursuing the Butler car at speeds in excess of 80 mph to the point where the Butler auto spun out of control. Langdon added that he was still in control of his car at this point, but he suddenly observed that theother car was going to come back onto the roadway. In an attempt to avoid it, Langdon said he swerved sharply to the left. He said that his car then went out of control, skidding across the westbound lane of Rt. 120, and went off the north road shoulder. Langdon said he did not recall what happened after that. According to the police - report, evidence at the scene indicated that after the Butler auto went off the south road shoulder, it struck a utility pole, then skidded into a- wooden fence owned by Chuck Miller of McHenry. The Butler car destroyed approximately 200 feet of fencing, before skidding back onto the roadway. Evidence also indicated that after the squad car skidded off the north road shoulder, it struck a dirt embankment and changed directions, skidding east onto the embankment until such time as it went up high enough on the dirt so it flipped over. The report noted that when the squad car rolled over, it came back onto Rt. 120, striking the left side of the Butler car, which was also skidding back onto the road. Although the Friday morning collision was by far the most serious, there were several other collisions reported over the weekend. John A. Greene of 4514 Garden Quarter road, McHenry, was ticketed for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident after the car he was driving struck a highway sign early Sunday morning on Rt. 31, near Ringwood. Greene was not injured in the crash, which caused an estimated $100 damage to his car. v. He told police he was south­ boundon Rt. 31 and didn't know how he ended up in the ditck£' He added that someone stopped to help him and . sud­ denly, he ended up on the railroad tracks. Jeff S. Popovich of 2915 S. Kama, McHenry, was ticketed spurgeons McHENRY MARKET PUCE • # • • a * • • • • / • e • . ; • • • • 1 '!; \ jiSiM © 1977 L«vt Strauss 4 Co Flexible Wardrobe by Levi's® Panatekr Blazer is traditionally styled with flapped pockets and straight lapels.

Prozel, 2314 Westward, Spring Grove, Saturday evening. Neither driver was injured in the crash, but both cars sustained more than $100 damage. Popovich told police he was eastbound on Johnsburg road and did not notice the Prozel car stopped, ^raiting to make a left turn. He added that when he noticed the Prozel car stopped, he locked his brakes, sliding into the right rear of her auto./ Elsewhere, Lynn M. Eckel of Crystal Lake was cited for^ speeding over the statutory limit after the auto she was driving collided with one driven by Matthew Wings of 4800 W. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake. The accident occurred at 1:30 a.m. Sunday. ' Wings toil police he was stopped while southbound, waiting for the light to change at the intersection of Rt. 31 and Rt. 176. He further stated that when the light turned green, he began moving forward when his car was struck in the rear by the Eckel auto. John E. Caccamo of 7401 South drive in Wonder Lake was ticketed for leaving the scene of a vehicle-damage accident Friday night, after his auto apparently struck one owned by Frank Delpino of 1618 N. Riverside drive, McHenry. Delpino was sitting in his auto at the time of the crash, but neither he, nor Caccamo, was injured. Caccamo told police - he backed into the Delpino auto. Finally, Carmon Hodges of 1417 Beach road, McHenry, escaped injury Saturday morning when a deer ran into the side of his car on Walkup road. Hodges' car sustained an estimated $100 damage. The deer was killed. Hodges told police he was northbound on Walkup avenue, when a large buck deer sud­ denly ran into the right front of his car. MONDAY NIGHT CRASH KILLS CARY DOCTOR (Continued from page 1) Cary Rescue squad for treat­ ment of his injuries. His con­ dition is unknown. According to police, the tragedy occurred when the Budd atuo Was entering Rt. 14 from Rt. 31. As the vehicle entered Rt. 14 from the en­ trance .,ramp, it suddenly crossed over four lanes and struck the concrete abutment which supported the Rt. 31 bridge. The accident occurred at 8:20 p.m. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) building, parades and bonfires. Much has changed through the years and there is no doubt there is a much greater sophistication among young people today. Homecoming is one of the few activities which have changed little, a fact that brings young and old together in spirit. brought more gloomy weather than sunshine, 1977 homecoming drew a prize winner Friday and everyone made the mnst. of it. Reminiscence comes not only with homecomings but also when a long time business operatoj calls it a day for well earned retirement. ^ We did this kind of reminiscing a couple of weeks ago, recalling that a number of young business men today are following in the tradition of their family, thus keeping the names familiar on the business scene. We figured to have missed a few. George Freund, Jr., Jim and Bob Freund are all continuing in the farm machinery business which their father started in 1938 and in which he is still active. Others include Roger Freund, who learned the tire repair business from his father, the late Walter Freund, on Main street for more than a half century. Both parents of James Althoff conducted a hardware business on the corner of Main and Front streets, one that has greatly expanded with their only son at the helm. And on the east side of the city is Gene Dobyns, starting the fortieth year in the antique business operated so many years by his mother. Together with the initial listing, it makes an impressive number of McHenry "kids" who figured they could learn from "the old folks". They did, and the prominence of their names on the business rosters of the city indicate that it isn't a bad idea after all. KAF r SERVICE NEWS 1 uw loieW It's Crazy!

Grimmonpre, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Grim­ monpre, 1707 Sunnyside Beach drive, began a four year tour of active duty with the United States Air Force Oct. 12, 1977. Following six weeks of basic military training at Lackland Air Force base near San An­ tonio, Tex., Grimmonpre, a 1974 graduate of McHenry high school, will receive his technical training in the mechanical aptitude area. He will be eligible to earn a two year associate of science degree from the Community college of the Air Force. Sergeant Gary Roberts, local Air Force recruiter, feels that all young men and women who are interested in furthering their education while earning a steady income should consider the opportunities available to them with the United States Air Force.

There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and - Rnth Stafford Peale) / Having an affair Q. I haVe a problem. I am having an affair with a 45-year-old man, and I am 25.1 am married and have two kids. My husband is good to me, sometimes, but I still want this man. He is divorced. He says he loves me. Tell me how to break it off. A. Just tell him good-bye. He is no good for you. He doesn't love you at all. He simply wants sex and you are stupidly falling for the oldest line in history, namely, "I love you." Get with it. Act like a real wife and mother and make your children proud of you, and do not warp their lives by letting them discover their mother is a tramp. Tell this fellow where to go gpd mean it We have a booklet, A First-Aid Kit For Marriage, which has helped others with questions such as yours, and a copy is on its way to you. Anyone who wishes a free copy write to us at Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. What to do with snide mother-in law? Q. I have a mother-in-law problem. I'd like to feel close to her, but she makes it impossible. She has a personality problem that is hard to overlook. At work she dishes out snide remarks. The same to her in-laws. It seems like every time we are together she will find something sharp to say. I feel, some of the time, she thinks she is smarter than everyone else and enjoys laughing at people. At other times she just wants to be a little cruel. My husband won't say anything to defend me. How could you tell her about her personality? How do you change an attitude? A. Ope wonders why you think you need to be defended. And also, it is rather presumptuous to tell anybody about the weakness of theftr personality. Perhaps the change of attitude should be in those who have to deal with this so-called "snide" mother-in-law. It would seem that the best procedure in this situation is to urbanely take this lady as she is. That may not be easy to do, but in so doing, we believe she will gradually become less of a problem. And you may become increasingly wiser in how to deal with human nature. Lives in her fantasies Q. I'm a teenager who lives in fantasies all the time. I know that a certain amount of fantasies is normal, but I live in them constantly. They've become easier to face than reality, and it is causing me to be sort of a recluse. Being alone makes me lonely, the loneliness leads to being upset, being upset leads to crying and I end up physically ill. I've tried talking to my parents about it, but they take it wrong and get upset. I've talked to God about it, but that relieves the pain only for the time being. Please don't suggest counseling because we just don't have the money. Please help me. A. You do not need money to obtain counseling. Go to your pastor for advice. He will either help you himself or direct you to a competent counselor. You are going around in vicious circles, getting nowhere. Your unhealthy thought pattern causes your attempt to escape into fantasy. Force yourself out of your "loner" attitude by getting involved with church or community youth groups. Healthy, acitivity dissipates fantasy escapism. 7, If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.

The Good Word from the Bible . . . a w e e k l y i n s p i r a t i o n a l message for today's life-styles... And there came a leper to him. beseeching him. and kneeling down to him. and saying unto him. If thou wilt. thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him. and saith unto him. I will: be thou clean. St. Mark 2: 40-41 How simply St. Mark records this miracle, this cleansing of the leper. Jesus asked no questions about the man's background, the length of his illness. The man believed and he was cleansed. God waits just as patiently for us. We do not see, but the outstretched hand is there, waiting, with the healing touch, with the gift of faith. The problem with many Christians is inability to be demonstrative. We dont know how to show God that we are sorry, how to ask forgiveness. Unlike the leper who went to Christ with faith in his hearty we turn away from the outstretched hand. WttttWWttttWtWtttttttWtWfb I
