Survivors include the Ti e suggestion of naming a prospective county board chairman at la.«t week's meeting of the board of sui vvisors was voted down, and while the board took action to elect the chairman at the April meeting, they also voted to allow him until May to name his committees for the year. Until this year the appointments were made at the April meeting. The matter has cfcused much discussion for several years. Last week Supervisors Carl Wittmus of Dunham said that in his opinion dissension would fee eliminated if the board decided at once on the chairmanship. Acting Supervisor Charles Ackman, however, said that the resolution that controlled the annual board chairman was voted out a year ago that it is now an open field. After a suggestion by Supervisor Stanley Cornue that a nominating, committee be appointed to select a' chairman was ruled out, Supervisor McConnell made a motion that the chairman be elected at the annual meeting next month but that he be allowed until the May meeting to announce his committee appointments. For many vear^ the board functioned under the seniority rights setup. A few years ago a resolution was adopted stating that no member would be eligible for the chairmanship unless he had served six years continuously, immediately prior to his election. Provided that in the event that at the time of the annual election ot a chairman no member is then eligible under the rule, then the memiter with the longest period of continuous service should be named chairman. When this rule went into effect Supervisors T. F. 'Nolan, Carl Wittmus and Math Schmitt did not have six years of service, but two years later became eligible. Each year since that time they have attempted to gain the coveted board chairmanship but to date have failed to aecure the desired support. Last year, however, the younger members presented the name of Mr. Wittmus as a candidate' to oppose Supervisor Filip of Algonquin, one of the older members in years of service, who had been suggested for the position. After a tie vote, the board chairman at the time cast the deciding ballot in favor of Mr. Filip. It is still a question whether the board will back one of tj^e young men or will resume the' seniority custom this year.

SURVEY RESULTS \*OUSE INTEREST IN AID PROQRAM The county board's educational committee last week reported at the regular monthly meeting that a survey of crippled and handicapped children in McHenry county resulted in the finding of twenty-tnree with defective hearing, twenty-aix with defective vision, sixty-four crippled, 123 with defective speech, sixty-two mentally handicapped and forty-live maladjusted. Roland McCannon, superintendent of schools in the county, has outlined plans for a more effective audiovisual aids educational program. Such a program would include the establishment nf a to4>ty film! library and the employment of a specialist in visual education who could devote- his entire time to working with the teachers' program for every school. Support for such a program would need to come from a co-operative effort on the part of the various school boards, hut equipment for county office supplies would have to be an obligation of the county. The board's educational committee gave full approval of the program and recommended that the new educational committee to be appointed at the May meeting five Further Study and the proposals.
