School board members, serving 4 without compensation, have experienced one ot llie most difficult periods of adjustment in ihe history of the local schools In the post-war period. Necessity growing out of u rapilly increasing population-has made demands for trend toward placing the teaching profession in a more satisfactory economic brack.pt. has also been responsible for die expenditure of more money. In the larger projects undertaken thj boards have presented both sides cf the qucethmlpths public in order that they might proceed according to the wishes of the puMic. The general satisfaction with existing condtions seems evident in view of the fact that the public school board members will be for local districts. In District No. 153, one member, George Hiller seeks re-election to n three-year term. He is unopposed on the ballot. The high school board election* are held annually at the City Ha'l. the polls being open from noon until 7 o'clock.

Wonder take Context The only place in which a contest gives evidence of bringing out • large vote is in District No. 3«, (Harrison school) in Wonder Lake, where twelve residents of the district seek six member posts. Kenneth E. Cristy will run for president for a period of one yoar and is unopposed. Two* members to serve for three years will be elected from among the following candidates: Robert R. Chrlstenson, James D. Selsdorf, Jol.n Diden and Arthur Hay. For members' posts for a two-year terra, two will be elected The unusual interest in the Harrison school district election is occasioned by the fact that at a recent meeting of the board of directors, it was voted that the census evidence presented to the board signified that School District, No. 36, has a population of over 1,000 and that a board of education be effected, the board to consist of a president and six members. Two of the three township school trustees will be elected next Saturday afternoon, April 9, between the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock. Polling places will be the McHenry Community high school and the Bfown drug store in Rlngwood. Clayton C.

Pabst, 51, of the Phelan subdivision, Pistakee Bay, remains a mystery this week after authorities investigated the one^clue which they believed might leaa to his whereabouts. Postal officials, with permission of the postoffice department, opened the Pabst mail box last Thursday, but its contents only left the case more of a mystery than ever. The box contained mail postmarked as far back as November, 1947, and the last bill was from the Public Service Company, sent In December of 1948. There was no personal mail from friends or relatives, that would give any clue stir to his disappearance. Authorities were first attracted to the deserted Pabst home two weeks ago when a neighbor noticed a door standing ajar and became suspicious of a burglary. It was while investigating the burlary that police officials found evidence of the disappearance of the owner. Except for being ransaked, the home gave the appearance of having had no occupants for a long period of time. Authorities were unable to explain the .fact'that no one had become suspicious of Mr. Pabst's absence before, the only answer being that most residents of the subdivision lived there only during the summer season. Neighbors reported that the home had been unopened last summer and the last time they had seen the cwner was in the fall of 1947. Mr. Pabst, an orphan, had told friends at the Bay that he had no other home. TOWNSHIP ELECTION DREW 891 Whiting, > .

Cristy and Robert Behrens from holding a school election April 9 was withdrawn on Saturday and the election will take place as planned. It was the opinion of the three, P. L. Cormier, Horace Wagner and Anton Grill, that there were less than the required 1,000 inhabitants in the school district. Their argument was that if the defendants were permitted to hold the election it would be contrary to the provisions of the law and that the new directors could not legally function, could not issue bonds needed for construction of the new building and could not proceed legally with such construction. The argument was based upon a legal technicality <which specified the number of residents necessary in order for a district to be governed by a board of 'education consisting of a president and six members. Atty. Joseph X. Wayne of McHenry, representing the plaintiffs, wrote the following letter to the board members of District in withdrawing their legal action: "This is to notify you . that oi&J Monday, April 4, 1949, I will apl| pear before his honor, William Carroll, judge of the Circtait Court of McHenry county and asked that case No. 31490.
