Campaign reports for the first few weeks of the new McHenry County United Way fund drive reveals that over 10 percent of the goal has been realized. Total contributions at the present time are $32,000 and with a goal of $315,000 to be achieved, there is still a long wav to go. While McHenry county followed the trend of the state in supporting many favorite candidates who emerged victorious, voters here failed to record even a 50 percent tur­ nout while statewide the figure was believed to be nearer 60 percent. The Whispering Oaks community had the largest percentage locally with 67 percent voter turnout. There were few surprise with Charles Percy being returned for this third term as Republican U.S. Senator and Governor Thompson starting his second term, but his first four-year term. Cal Skinner, Jr., of Crystal Lake announced his candidacy for the office of United States senator in 1980. Skinner, 36, was just reelected to a fourth term in the Illinois House of Representatives* capturing 46.5 percent of the votes cast in the 33rd district's three-way race.
