CSTTION 2 - PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. MARCH 10, 1978 STARS IN PLAY-The experience of preparing for death agonizes Dr. Robert Frank, as Big Daddy, in a scene from "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", with Big Mama played by Barbara Beger of McHenry. The play will be staged March 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. at the Woodstock Opera house. "I'm always intrigued by the idea of people preparing to die," says Dr. Robert Frank who plays the role of Big Daddy in McHenry County college' production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" March 10 and 11. Frank--who teaches a MCC course "Living With Death"- explains that his fascination with the character led him to try out for the part in the Tennessee Williams play even though it's been eighteen years since he's been in a theatrical production. "I acted in high school and in two productions in college," Frank recalled, but he ad­ mitted his experience in 15 years as a parish minister will help him overcome any stagef right. "It's the role of a man toho is dying and receives the news that he doesn't have cancer after all. When the truth finally comes out we see him go from denial to acceptance in the space of a couple of hours. He's a self-made man who's worked for everything he's got, a tremendously rich and unlikeable person. He hates both lies and liars, and yet he's the one that's been lied to and believed it," Frank says about Big Daddy. The head of MCC's humanities division, Frank also says his love for Burl Ives (who played Big Daddy in the movie of Williams' play), also in­ fluenced his decision to try out. "There's no possibility I can ever give the role the dimen­ sion that Burl Ives does," Frank said, but he admits his study of death and dying will help him interpret the role. "It's an incredibly sad role. Here's a man who's 65 and he says 'Now it is time for me to live and enjoy', and he's postponed his life because he was so busy working and making money. He doesn't like his son or his daughter-in-law, hates his grandchildren, says he can't stand his wife-which means he's done a lot of things to be practical and to get ahead.. He's been directed toward accumulating wealth, and now he has to decide who to leave it to," said Frank. "Yet there's that glimmer of hope. Maybe he's screwed up 65 years, but he's got a few months and can make good use of those. It's a beautiful work. You can see an awful lot of people in a work like that," Frank said. Frank will appear in a cast that includes a mixture of MCC students and residents from throughout the county. The play is the first production directed at MCC by Robert Riner, who came to the college last fall. The play will be staged March 9, 10, and 11 at the Woodstock Opera house at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door. Other actors in the cast in­ clude Barbara Beger, an in­ structor at McHenry Alter­ native high school who will play Big Mama, Marge Mclntyre from Fox River Grove who palys Maggie, and Brule Beger from McHenry who plays Brick. The no-neck monsters-Big Daddy's grandchildren-will be played by Brannon Loomis of Crystal Lake, Mark Bishop of Crystal Lake and Bill and Amy Russell of Woodstock. Edwin Fish, a MCC student Learn Basic Facts Before Adding Chemicals In Tank It is not difficult to determine how much chemical to put in a spray tank, says Dave Plocher, McHenry County Agriculture Extension Adviser. But you have to know a few basic facts before you begin You should know the recommended pesticide rate, the capacity of the spray tank and the calibrated output of the sprayer. The label usually gives recommended rates. It is given as pounds per acre for wettable powders and pints, quarts or gallons per acre for liquids. Plocher adds that sometimes the rate is given as pounds of active ingredient. That must be converted to actual product per acre. Knowing the capacity of the spray tank also is an important factor. The wrong answer could do a lot of damage, so be sure you know. There are several from Wonder Lake, and Bonnie Lam kin, a teacher at Coventry school in Crystal Lake, play their parents, Mae and Gooper.

VERNON W. KAYS ' COUNTY CLERK McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS ways to determine for yourself. One method is to use a dip­ stick. Start with an em ply tank on level ground and a small container of a known capacity. Use the container to fill the tank, marking the dipstick each time. Another method is to use a sight gauge. It's the same principle as the dipstick methods, except you are using a clear plastic tube to mark the measurements. Or, you can attach a flowmeter to a hose and fill the tank. Most flowmeters are inexpensive. The third factor is calibration of the sprayer. Accurate and frequent calibration is essential. I ll provide you with material describing how to calibrate a sprayer, if you have problems. Once you know the exact capacity of your tank and calibrate the sprayer, you cart determine the number of acres you can spray with each tank- ful. Just divide the number of gallons the tank holds by the number of gallons per acre that you intend to apply. To determine the amount of pesticide to add to the tank, multiply the acres sprayed per tankful times the recom­ mended pesticide rate. Announce Plans For "Hurricane Happening n Come Satt with us at the Hurricane Happening jfctrtan Centra! W ****** mXX&WJk Apr«l415AApr« Tom Harding, Woodstock, calls attention to the Marian Central fund-raising event as he announces the 1978Hurricane Happening will be two weekends-April 14-15 and April 21-22. "Come Sail With Us" is the 1978 theme. DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY A success that provided both fun and finances deserves an encore. So says Tom Harding, general chairman, as he an­ nounced plans for presentation of a second "Hurricane Hap­ pening" at Marian Central Catholic high school. The 1978 fund-raising event will be staged around the theme, "Come Sail With Us," and will present a nautical theme, complete with a gang plank to board the SS Hurricane. "Hurricane Happening" will be presented two weekends by adult volunteers, Harding said--April 14-15 and April 21- 22. Entertainment rooms with local talfent will be aboard the SS Hurricane and will carry such sea-worthy names as the Main deck, State room and the Broiler room. In those areas, half-hour to 40-minute shows, skits and situation comedies will be presented. An additional number of ship's areas-Hurncane Lounge, Acapulco, Dispensary, Close Encounter Disco, and Ship's Cargo-will be available for between-sliows entertainment, parking and relaxing areas. Tom Parsley, co-chairmar\ with Harding, said ticket procedures have been refined to avoid the waiting that' provided the only damper on last year's well-attended Hurricane Happenings. Last year, this event raised more than $30,000, money which Parsley, Marian principal, explained is vital for the operations of the county-wide parochial school. Parsley explained one reason the dates for the 1978 "Come Sail With Us" attraction is being announced at this early time is because many local people want to invite out-of- town guests. "They want to be sure they reserve the dates and we're delighted with the in­ terest and support," concluded Parsley. What lust One Person Can Do Mairead Corrigan And Betty Williams, Peacemakers In Northern Ireland, the scene of violence between Protestants and Roman Catholics, a Catholic woman and a Protestant woman have been working together for peace. And they have won the Nobel Peace prize. Mairead Corrigan, 32, is a secretary, unmarried • a Roman Catholic whose life revolves around her family. Betty Williams, 33, is the wife of a merchant seaman and mother of two children - a Protestant married to a Catholic. Neither had been known to the public. Nor had they known each other - until Aug. 1, 1976, when three children were killed in the violence of Belfast. The tragedy ignited Betty Williams. She went into An- dersontown, a stronghold of the I.R.A., and asked strangers to sign a petition for an end to the killings. She organized a peace march of 200 women and met Mairead Corrigan, the dead children's aunt. They became a team for peace. Two weeks later, 20,000; marched in Belfast. "Violent deaths in Northern Ireland have dropped by 54 percent," says Mrs. Williams who with Miss Corrigan has risked her own life. "We hope this has something to do with our movement. We have not yet brought peace to Northern Ireland. We have created a climate for peace to become respectable." The two women received the 1976 Nobel Peace prize a year late since their movement'5 start had just missed the Nobel judges' 1976 deadline. In the interim, twenty-two Norwegian newspapers had raised $340,000 and awarded it to the women as a "Peoples Peace prize." They used the money to begin community projects in Ulster. "Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams," said the Nobel prize committee, "acted from a profound conviction that the individual can mak£ a meaningful contribution to peace through constructive reconciliation." We can - each of us. ^American Viewpoints We cannot beeatisfied until all our people have equal opportunities for jobs, for homes, for education, for health, and for political expression, and until all our people have equal protection under the law.
