PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALEE - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7,1979 A FOND FAREWELL-Dorabella, left, and Fiordiligi (Sharon Munden, Rt 2. Blackstone, Va., and Carol Leighty, 3703 W. Young street, McHenry bid adieu to their fiances (Greg Gunder, 490 N. Lex- Spring road, Mansfield, Ohio, and Rkk Fudge, Rt 1, Edge moor, S.C.) in Mocart's comic opera, "Cos! Fan Tutte". The University of Illinois students will appear in Illinois Opera theatre's production which runs Thursday through Sunday, March 8-11, in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. Mozart's comic masterpiece, "Cosi Fan Tutte" ("Al Women Are Like That"), will be presented in English by the Illinois Opera theatre at 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, March 8-11, in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, University of Illinois. Written in 1790, the year before Mozart died at 35, the opera was considered so risque that it was performed only 10 times in the composer's lifetime. It was banned for many years in Victorian England and its first American performance did not take place until 1922. "It concerns partner- swapping and casts doubts on the fidelity of women," said Professor David Lloyd, who directs the Illinois production. "It was written at a time when morals were beginning to become ossified and audiences found it shocking to think that a woman, once engaged, might even consider looking at another man," he said. ,The story revolves around two sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, and their fiances, Ferrando and Guglielmo. A cynical friend, Don Alfonso, makes a bet with the two men that their future brides will not stay faithful to them if they leave town, the men accept the wager and pretend that they have received marching orders from their regiment. "When it comes right down to it, the girls are human, they're made of flesh and blood. They're trapped by social conventions and they both break out and succumb to the glamorous strangers," said Lloyd. "In fact, Fiordiligi falls for her sister's fiance and vice versa. Although all ends happily, Mozart never quite makes it clear which girl gets which man at the final cur­ tain," Lloyd said. The opera is famous for its marvelous ensembles - sex­ tets, duets, quintets and trios, he said. The music makes almost equal demands on all six of the leading singers. r HOSPITAL New Booklet How Boards Oversee Schools Anyone who has ever won­ dered what school boards to, have the answer in a booklet, "Your School Board And You", and its' free from the Illinois Association of School Boards. It tells how school boards actually oversee schools, and how citizens have a say in their operation. There is a quick review of what it's like to be a board member, who makes a good board member, and how the average citizen can help strengthen schools and school boards. The 16-page booklet also reviews school election laws, nominating procedures, and how to prepare for board membership. It includes a widely-adopted Code of Con­ duct for school boards and a list of other information sources. Perhaps most useful to everyone is a description of "how to talk to your school" when there is a problem or concern. To obtain a copy of "Your School Board And You", send name and address to IASB, 330 lies Park Place,' Springfield, 111., 62718. Bulk quantities are available to clubs and organizations. Copies are also available at the District 15 and 156 Ad­ ministrative center at 3926 W. Main street. Seek Penalty For Use Of Handicapped Parking Non-handicapped persons who park their cars in shopping center parking spaces designated for the handicapped could be ticketed by police, if a bill sponsored by Sen. Jack Schaffer, R-McHenry county, is passed. Schaffer's bill would allow shopping centers, apartment complexes, school boards and hospitals which control parking lots, to contract with municipal and county law enforcement agencies for enforcement of signs regulating parking spaces for the disabled. "If a shopping mall were within city boundaries, my bill would allow the mall to con­ tract with city police for regulation of handicapped parking area signs. Currently, city police can enforce those signs on city property, but not on private or non-city property," the senator said. "Malls , apartments, hospitals and schools outside city limits could similarly contact with county police for the same service. "I want to stress the bill is not mandatory. Such a system is optional for parking lots and for law enforcement agencies. The bill simply provides the authority for such a contract if both parties want to alleviate this problem," he explained. IRS eases proposals on tax exemptions. BIBLE VERSE "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 1. Who was the author of the above statement? 2. To whom was he writing? 3.

" "ORION SAMUELSON The recent breakthrough in the U.S. establishing relations with China and its affect on American agriculture will be discussed by Orion Samelson at a March 17 dinner at McHenry County college. Samuelson, who is farm service director for WGN radio and WGN television, will show slides of the trip he took to China a year ago as a member of the Agricultural Task Force from Illinois. Tickets for the dinner and Samuelson's speech are limited and must be purchased in advance. The dinner is a kickoff for Spring Green, an 4^ open house and salute to local agriculture jointly sponsored by MCC's agriculture depart­ ment and by the McHenry County Farm Bureau. There are only 300 tickets available for the 7:30 p.m. dinner. No tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets can be purchased at McHenry County college's business office and at the Farm Bureau office in Woodstock. Tickets can also be ordered by mail from the Farm Bureau by sending a check to Box 351, Woodstcok, 111., 60098. Samuelson at WGN heads a department nat ional ly recognized for the scope and quality of its service to agriculture. As a vice president of WGN Continental Broad­ casting company, Samuelson is featured on WGN Radio's Morning show and Noon show. He also serves as producer and host of the Top O' the Morning show which is telecast daily at 5:55 a.m. on WGN Television 9. Samuelson also produces and hosts a nationally syndicated show, U.S. Farm Report, seen on nearly 100 stations across the country. Honored by all segments of agri-business for his work, Samuelson is in great demand as a guest speaker. He travels more than 65,000 miles an­ nually gathering information interviewing people and covering all of the national and midwest farm events. Samuelson's speech on "What the China Breakthrough Means to Agriculture" will follow a preview of the Spring Green exhibits at MCC for those attending the dinner. Spring Green which will in­ clude both student and com­ mercial exhibits will provide a chance to learn about everything from food costs^ to meat cuts to floral design. Spring Green will be open to public free of charge from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, March 18, at MCC's Applied Science building. Some Pet Buyers In Legitimate Business The Helping Paws column which appeared in the Friday, March 2, issue of the Plain- dealer carried a warning to those who would try to find homes for unwanted puppies and kittens. The writer urged these owners to beware of advertisements "if they don't want their l i t ters sold to research facilties." The warning to use care is a wise one. However, there are legitimate buyers of dogs who, in turn, sell them to private owners. These people deserve the same status as other businesses. from HISTORY'S SCRAPBOOK OATES ANO EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS March 9,1822 -- Charles Graham of New York City receives the first patent for artificial teeth.
