A passenger in the auto, Steven Moulis, is listed in fair condition at McHenry hospital, where he was taken by the Johnsburg Rescue squad. According to McHenry County Sheriff's police, the driver of the auto. John Moulis, lost control of the vehicle for an unknown reason. The car traveled off the south shoulder, then swerved back across both lanes of traffic and into a field on the north side of the road, rolling several times. The accident occurred at about 6 p.m. May 30 Both Mrs. McKay and Mrs. Moulis were unaware of the destination of their daughter and son when the accident occurred.

Chamber President John Huemann appeared before the council with fur­ ther information and the results of a meeting which included, among others, McHenry police and Fire department officials, three city aldermen and representatives of affected property owners associations. Huemann said the Lakeland Park people seemed to be most concerned about parking, and the expected overflow into the subdivision, and trespassing problems. The Chamber president noted that two auxiliary police officers could be assigned to patrol Shore drive, the Lakeland Park entrance to Petersen park, in order to keep traffic moving. "A lot of people in Lakeland Park will be having friends and relatives over and they'd scream if there was no parking allowed on the street," Huemann said. "We will have people to keep the traffic moving." Another concern on the part of the aldermen was the insurance and Huemann noted that all insurance coverage would be taken care of by the sponsors of the event. The City of McHenry would incur no direct cost as far as the display is concerned. Alderman Michael Wieser asked Huemann what McHenry Township Fire department Chief Glenn Peterson had to say about the proposed affair. Huemann explained that Peterson was concerned about possible problems that could arise and wanted a minimum of $1 million liability insurance, the shooting of the fireworks to be a minimum of 700 feet from the spec­ tators and access to the lake for at least one fire truck. Wieser also asked Police Chief Pasenelli why Woodstock cancelled having iheudiartW- ---v.

Additional charges from police agencies in Lake and Kenosha counties are pending against the four men Selected Over 20 Nun Heads Marian High In polite circles one refrains from talking about politics, religion and age. Right? Yes. on the first two. And about age? It all depends. If you're speaking with most folks over 40 the answer is the same. But if you're talking to Helen Seborg of Wonder Lake, it's an open topic. Helen has set type for the news columns of the Plaindealer for the past 14 years. She is a perfectionist, and if an error makes its way into print it's usually through an oversight of one of the rest of us. On the traditional Memorial day Helen reached the age of 65. Was she silent? Did she make her way on side streets to the Social Security office? She did not!

Huemann pointed out that the City of Woodstock sold beer all day long prior to the display and the fireworks demonstration in McHenry was -fiot going to be run in a similar manner. Lastly, Alderman Wieser said he would like an opinion from the person who has to handle all of the problems. ... "I'm not for it," Pasenelli said.
