PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or • less and that all letters have signature, full address and phone number. We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable taste.) POST PROM IDEAS ^ "Parents and Students: "First, let us make our position clear, we are not against the 'After-Glo' subject to the proper guidance and approval of interested adults. Interested adults to us should mean the parents of juniors and seniors in particular, the sponsoring organizations, representatives of the junicr and senior classes, (after all the juniors are the ones who will gain or lose as a result of the conduct of the current year's activities) the high school administration and the P.T.A.(Parents in this organization initiated action for the •After-Glo' in 1953 and 1954.) "It seems to us that a matter of such serious concern as the safety and welfare of our young people merits the time and due consideration of the aforementioned groups. "As parents, we are duty bound to follow through and help our sons and daughters reach proper decisions in matters of contractual obligations and arrangements such as are necessary for an 'After-Glo' party. "The original concept and intent of the 'After-Glo' was to keep our young people close to home and avoid, as much as possible, the ever present dangers that exist on the highways, particularly at the hours of night that the 'After-Glo' entails. "Up to now there has been no highway travel involved. However, the new location will expose our "prom-goers" to a minimum of 12 miles greater distance each way over heavily travelled two lane highways populated with numerous taverns enroute. rS^ "As to accommodations, investigation has proved: (1) prior to securing the new site no. attempt was made by anyone to correct any undesirable experiences (if in fact they occurred) at last year's site; (2) other local establishments able to accommodate 'After- Glo' were not contacted; (3) virtually none of the seniors and juniors were aware of the change of sites until the letter to the parents was received by the students three weeks ago. Yet last December, we're told, the new site was selected. THIS IS COUNSELING???? "Now, if the McHenry area is so decidedly lacking in suitable accommodations how does one account for the fact that Grant Township high, Wauconda high and other schools of equal if not larger classes, are holding their proms in McHenry at the very site our student representatives have found unsuitable? "Permit us to assure you that we are not members nor have any personal interest in either of the sites in question. Rather, we are parents who have worked with youth and have the interest and welfare of the current and succeeding graduating classes at heart. "We sincerely believe that t h r o u g h p r o p e r p l a n n i n g and cooperation the 'After-Glo' can remain in McHenry and serve the original purpose intended without, in any way, detracting from the fun and pleasure of our voting people. "Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Peterson" "To the Editor: "No one --- not even parents -- wants to deprive young people of a good time, but even young people must -appreciate our concern for theif safety. It is certainly true that no McHenry restaurant is large enough to accommodate our junior-senior class. Moreover, according to the letter in the Plaindealer last week, 'teenagers would prefer to stay in McHenry. Has anyone considered hiring a caterer, to serve a meal in the high school cafeteria? "The young people would then have all the requirements for a safe and happy celebration: namely, the party would be their own -- even to the selection of the menu; they would certainly have privacy; the gym so beautifully decorated would still be there for dancing; they could hire such entertainers as they would prefer. There are several capable caterers In the area who can certainly handle the food situation, serving good hot food, as selected, by TW? crass representatives.

Marchi" TAX ASSESSMENTS Recently, it has been brought to the writers' attention, that they are receiving credit for happenings for which they would just as soon not receive credit. It is said that the assessor sctfc a value upon your property and then the supervisor raises that figure. The true process is that the assessor fixes the value. The Department of Revenue has informed the county that their total evaluation must be raised a certain percentage so that school taxes may be raised locally, or said department will assign a multiplier which would raise the taxes. In compliance with this, the supervisor of assessments in Woodstock, not Supervisor LeRoy M. Smith, raised all of Assessor Lesier R. Bacon's evaluations. Please do not blame either LeRoy or Lester for this raise! These bouquets we can do without! Thank you! Supervisor LeRoy M. Smith Assessor Lester R. Bacon There are no known ants that live outside of colonies. Lilymoor AUXILIARY HEARS SUPERVISORS GIVE TOWNSHIP RULES Shirley Schuerr EV. 5-2645 The Woman's auxiliary held its monthly meeting Monday.
