Bra Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gns Untl. Considerable interest has been evoked in the forthcoming school election in McHenry, much of it having come about as the result of changes in state legislation which affects local districts. One portion of the new ruling states that boards of education must be uniform in size, which makes necessary the addition of two new members to the high school board to bring the number to seven. The consolidated district has been operating with seven members for several years. Other legislation which affects District 166 reads as follows: "If more than 15 per cent but less than 30 per cent of the taxable property in any such school district (Community high school district) is located in unincorporated territory, at least one member of the board of education shall be a resident of such unincorporated territory; if 30 per cent or more of the taxable property In such school district Is located In unincorporated territory, at least two members of the board of education shall be residents of such unincorporated territory." Since the latter figure appliet to the local high school district, two of the three members to be elected on April 12 must be from outside McHenry. Three who filed petitions by the deadline last Saturday, March 22, meet that qualification, George Hlller of Johnsburg, who is running for re-electlon, Florence G. Engdahl and Fred Marks. Mrs. Engdahl resides just south of the city limits and Mr. Marks makes his home at Wonder Lake. The other three candidates are Donald C. Howard, Leo Winkel and Vale Adams, all residing in the city. Ho Contest There will be no contest at the grade school, although one change is noted there too. Whereas formerly the president was elected to that position for a one-year term, a new ruling establishes that the- president be chosen by the board membership following the election, with each candidate seeking the post of member for three-year term. On this board, Elmer J. Freund and Hubert Smith seek re-election and Harold H. Vaupell seeks the third post' open. He hopes to replace Howard Collins, who, after several years of service to the community, is not a candidate. Absentee Ballots Several inquiries have been received by school authorities concerning absentee ballots for the school elections. The law on such ballots is now the same as that applied to general elections. Absentee ballots for both the high school and the grade school elections can be had at the office of the superintendent of schools. It is necessary for the absentee voter to appear at the superintendent's office on or after April 2 and on or before Friday, April 11.

For Pledgw The Red Cross bloodmobile will come to McHenry on" Wednesday, April 30, when local residents will have an opportunity to contribute blood for use by members of the Armed Forces. Giving a pint of blood IS a painless procedure which takes only a few minutes but it is important enough to save some serviceman's life. The bloodmobile will be In McHenry between the hours of 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. On May 1 It will be In Woodstock from 10 ajn. to p.m. and in Marengo, May 2 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Pledge cards are now being distributed to those who have a desire to contribute. Since the unit is equipped to process forty pints an hour, it is hoped to obtain 240 pints in McHenry on the thirtieth. Because of past experience with the number of pledge cards signed in relation to the amount of blood donated, those in charge believe that between 600 and 700 signed cards will need to be secured to.assure the 240 pints. The last time the bloodmobile visited the county, just one-half, or 140, kept the appointment out of 280 who had pledged their support In most cases the failure to give blood was not a sign of lack of interest but rather a variety of valid reasons for inability to keep the pledge card promise. Cards should be turned in by April 18 so ihat a tta* schedule oaa be worked out Carda are available at tfc* Legion and V. F. W. balls; those organizations and their Auxiliary units being in charge of the visit of the bloodmobile locally. Others who have cards for distribution are Mrs. M. L. Sehoenholtz, Hugh J. Saynor, Phillip Disch, Mrs. Harold Vance and Mrs. George Barbian.
