At the Johnsburg turn, however, the auto had gone out of control, turned over and slid approximately 200 feet on its top. McHenry police found the girls pinned under the debris, but were able to extricate them. The driver was given a ticket for speeding and a stop sign violation. One hand of the Wilson girl was reported to have been severely injured. Bpth suffered cuts, bruises and shock. State police were called to investigate the accident. ./Narrow Escape P. D. Gustafson, 65, of Marengo narrowly escaped death last Saturday morning at 10:45 when his truck was struck by a Milwaukee road passenger train at an unguarded crossing in Spring Grove. He suffered multiple fractures and was reported on the McHenry hospital critical list Wednesday. "Gustafson was reported to have been thrown clear of the truck, but was injured as he fell to the ground. None of the passengers of the train were hurt. The train engineer told authorities the whistle was blowing as the two diesel engines approached the crossing. The flat-bed truck was demolished, and about $2,000 damage was reported to the train. A Lakeland Park youth, Le-, Roy Rollins, suffered injuries to his neck when his r&r went out of control on snow^packed roads in Wonder Lake early Tuesday morning. The auto skidded into a ditch and struck a utility pole. Rollins was taken to McHenry hospital for treatment and then released.

Plan Report Highlights (Continued From Page 1) Understanding and consideration are the soil and moisture that nourishes friendship. that it could be obtained on a long-term lease. The estimated cost of clearing and improving the property was given at about $12,000. It is estimated that approximately $100 in meter revenue will be lost for each parking space which is eliminated along Green street. It is recommended that the remaining meters along Green street and those along Riverside Drive be changed from a time limit of two hours to a time limit of one hour. This will increase the turn-over in the use of these spaces and allow a greater number of customer parkers to park along these two streets, forcing long time parkers into off-street narking facilities. Although it is quite lately that parking will be retained on many of the major streets for the near future, planners say all of these cross-sections for new streets have been recommended On the basis bf requirements for moving traffic only. Parking of any kind, they add, is not desirable on a major street. Those who own or contemplate purchasing property fronting on the major street should bear in mind that the eventual elimination of curb parking is likely and that their parking needs may have to be set by ether means, tt^p storage on the street. Jf- By adoption of the proposed plan^ the city will be in a position to assemble, over a period of years and at a minimum expense, the properties needed for the purpose of public use, taking advantage of favorable opportunities as they arise and creating little or no inconvenience to the present owners. Lacking formidable expenses and the necessity for extensive land takings in order to relieve traffic snarls that might have been avoided. Stanton & Rockwell feel that steady progress during the next two decades is needed ! rather than an expensive effort concentrated into the next year or two. Many projects may be carried beyond the year 1980. The experts feel that when determining the extent to which construction of a given oroject can be carried out in any one year, compromises should be made in the length of •he project rather than the street width recommended. lfn the long range, they conclude! it will be more expensive >to the taxpayers if streets must be widened a second time. 'l CITY, COUNTY SHARE RECENT TAX COLLECTION McHenry ranged high again in October in city sales tax collected pn; September tax liability with $5,836.58.

Early returns of the McHenry Jaycees Community Development Survey booklets t hus far compiled indicate some very pointed problems that have been brought to light by the public opinion. The Jaycees are ainxious to receive the balance of their booklets still in the' hands of McHenry residents so that final results may be tallied. An interesting point concerning the Jaycees survey is that compared to other public opinion surveys, which too often stop at the survey phase, the Jaycees have a special action committee which is an integral part of the survey program. This committee is for the express purpose of acting on survey results for the betterment I of the community. I Four Grass Fires Keep Firemen Busy Members of Company 1, McHenry Township Fire Protection district, were called out to extinguish four grass fires this past week.

FARM BOYS ~ COLLECT CORN FOR REFUGEES Last Saturday, McHenry high school agriculture boys collected over 200 bushels of ear corn that was donated by local farmers to help displaced persons overseas.

Hundreds Gel Cinders For Winter Driving The McHenry Jaycees Cinders for Safety program, held this past Saturday, was a complete success.

By mid-afternoon, every last cinder, and all available cartons had: been distributed to motorists in the interest of winter driving safety.
