Karen Larson, reporter BABY IMPROVlJs" Five-month-o Id Barbara Lynn Ansell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Ansell of River road, McHenry, is recovering nicely in Children's Me- Mcmbcrs of the special education committee of the county met with County Supt. of Schools Richard L. Tazewell recently to discuss progress made in establishing a third educable mentally h a n d icapped room and a trainable mentally handicapped for McH e n r y c o u n t y . S u p t . C a r l Buckner of McHenry was among those in attendance. The committee, being nogr nizant of the need for a class for the trainable mentally handicapped and an additional class for the educable mentally handicapped, surveyed every school district asking for possibilities of a classroom or teacher, who might be interested in this type of work. Mr. Tazewell reported on (he results of the survey. Three areas reported a possibility of a site for the forthcoming year. These sites were discussed with consideration given to a location closest to the most possible students. The report also showed a possibility of securing a teacher in one or two areas where the teache r , h v a t t e n d i n g s u m m e r school, could become qualified in this special field. Teachers in the field of special education are scare and difficult to secure. Miss Dorothy Seigle, state consultant, office of the superintendent of public instruction, for the mentally handicapped, discussed available teachers for the trainable mentally handicapped class. She mentioned the need for a lay teacher as a helper. The helper could also be a certified teacher who did not have the special training. In such ^situation, there could be as many as fifteen children in the class. Rooms Offered Supt. Leon Lundahl stated Crystal Lake would have a rural school building available for the trainable class and that the board of education is willing to sponsor the program. Supt. Lorence Stout has since stated Cary elementary school would have a room available for an educable mentally handicapped class. Both offers were approved and the schools were authorized to proceed to organize classes along those lines. In view of the enrollment growth in McHenry county and the expansion of the special education program, Mr. Lundahl suggested the need for looking ahead to establishing a county director of special education within a year or two. It was also thought that a psychologist on a county basts should be considered. The state pays part of the salary of each of the above positions, and by dividing the balance of the cost among all districts, the cost would be very nominal to each. The committee suggested all administrators should discus* t h e s e m a t t e r s w i t h t h e i r boards of education. Mr. Tazewell reported that this spring a quadrennial survey would be taken for speci.°l education and as an additional educable mentilly handicappen class would be provided in Cary and a trainable mentall\ handicapped class in Crystal Lake, that it was important that parents with handicapped children be sure to report any children eligible for these classes to their local superintendents. PLAN COMMISSION WORK HAS EFFECT ON ENTIRE AREA Harrison Board Votes To Keep Ea^ly Starting Date For School As McHenry embarks on the many activities of a growing city in the new year, the Plan Commission has reviewed highlights of its work in 1961. It is interesting to look at the effects of these plans on the residential, the commercial and the industrial future of Mc- Henry. The most significant development in regard to progress of residential planning in the communty was completion of the recommended subdivision control ordinance and passage of this ordinance by the City Council. . Briefly, it calls for no land within the city limits or within one and one-half miles of the city limits to be subdivided or entitled to record until certain provisions are met. These prov i s i o n s i n c l u d e e s t a b l i s h e d standards for streets, curbs and gutters, storm and sanitary sewers, water, street widths and right-of-ways, lot sizes, etc. One important point is that the city's authority over subdivision improvements is extended out a mile and a half, and any new subdiv isions com ing in will now be subject to this ordinance. If such sublivisions are annexed to tin city, their improvements will d ready l>e in and paid for. The commission feels this requirement for full improvements is particularly significant ;n the light of problems identified with current annexation activity. Future expansion ol the city's territorial limits i? an action the Plan Commission recommends. Activity of the commission is it affects another segment of McHenry's future -- the commercial -- will be reviewed next week. ONLY MINOR ACCIDENTS IN CITY THIS WEEK Three minor accidents occurred in McHenry this week. Sunday morning at 10:55 o'clock, Mrs. Robert Cable of McHenry backed from the curb on north Green street and struck another car driven by Mrs. Charles A. Hansen of McHenry. Early that afternoon, on Ri. 31, Micha,el.R, Hester of McHenry was making a left turn onto High street when he was struck by John Flach, whose car skidded on the ice. At 8:50 Monday morning, an accident took place on. Richiri<) nd road, at Maple avenue. Margaret A. Elshoff was turning left from the north-bound lane when her auto skidded on slippery pavement. She was struck by a car driven by Leland Dethlefson of Wonder Lake, whose vehicle also skidded. Robert Jensen of Wonder Lake was confined to Memorial hospital. Woodstock, with injuries following an accident last week which occurred six miles south of Woodstock. He was hurt when his car collided with the rear of a tank truck. The Harrison school board, in a 5 to 2 vote cast by secret ballot, set Aug. 27 as starting date for the school's 1962-63 term. This brought to a climax discussions that began last June during which two public polls showed a majority of parents in favor of starting the school term after Labor Day. The school administration's principal position was that teachers believed it better for students to begin classes before the holiday. Students have a week to settled down and are in the swing of classroom work immediately after Labor Day. They also are dismissed earlier in spring and are less restless With the first flush of warm weather, it was stated. Parents Opposed The parents' group had contacted various state and county educational sources, and had run their own survey of school starting dates. They could find no-source material that supported the administration's position. They noted that 50 per cent of McHenry county schools begin before Labor Day, but these are located in predominantly agricultural areas where boys are needed for spring farming, and the schools therefore dismiss classes on the early schedule. Wonder Lake is a residential area and the school should operate on an urbari schedule, the parent?1 •ontended. The parents primarily wanted the Harrison school term to coincide with McHenry high school to eliminate inconveniences to families having stu dents in both schools. McHenry schools open after Labor Day, as do those at Wood stock and Crystal Lake. Discussion of the starting date subject was delayed while a seventh member of the board, absent the past several months, was summoned. It had been agreed at a previous meeting that the vote should be cast with all board members in at tendance. Ballot Vote Board actions usually arc h.\ voice vote by polling the members. The starting date issue had developed partisan forces and the paper ballot was decided upon to eliminate possibility of pressure on any individual member. The vote \vascast following an executive session of the board. Setting the school date nt this time was necessary in order that teacher contract* could be prepared for the new lerm. The board approved use of the auditorium by the Wonder Heart Drive Opens In City Mrs. Arthur Olsen, 614 N. John street, has been named general chairman of the 1962 heart fund campaign for McHenry, beginning Feb. 1, with Benjamin Massouda, M.D., named medical advisory cochairman. Throughout the nation, February has been designated "Heart Month" when business and industry, as well as evej^y family, will be personally called upon by a heart volunteer to give everyone the opportunity to participate in the nation-wide voluntary effort to conquer the cardiovascular disease. "Heart disease claims more lives than all other causes combined," Mrs. Olsen pointed out. "But our medical leaders and scientists are proving that this loss is not inevitable. Something can be done about heart disease and is being done. With total cooperation of all of us, this awful toll in life and health can be curbed and brought under control." Dr. Massouda, in accepting his appointment, said that it is appropriate for physicians to give leadership in the heart fund campaign because the American Heart association was a great scientific society for twenty-six years before it invited lay partnership in the great public effort to support an attack upon the cardiovascular diseases. Heart Month will open with an approach to business and industry, and some special events for the benefit of the Heart Fund. February culminates in Heart Sunday, Feb. 25, when McHenry heart volunteers in conjunction with a million and a half volunteers throughout 'he nation will call on their neighbors with the hearl message of hope and eventual victory over heart disease.

Guest speaker was Harry ASF PROGRAM NEEDS SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY The first meeting of the McHenry chapter of American Field Service was held at the high school, with Bert Kissling, chairman of the Student Council AFS committee, presiding. This new chapter was organized by a group consisting of members of the student body of McHenry high school, members of the McHenry Rotary club and interested members of the community. The purpose of AFS is to grant American Field Service i n t e r n a t i o n a l s c h o l a r s h i p s which open the door that lead to understanding and friendship among the peoples of the world. Over 2,000 U. S. towns open their hearts to students from over fifty foreign countries to study in our secondary schools. Likewise students from every state in the Union are sent to countries of their choice. The American Field Service is dependent upon the community to find a suitable home in which to place an AFS student for the year. The American host family is of fundamental importance to the well-being of the student and the success of the prdgram. The second meeting of the McHenry chapter will be held at the high school on Feb. 5 at 8 p.m., when Mrs. Betty Cobb of Barrington, district representative of AFS, and Briger Thorn-Paulsen of Rjukan, Norway, will speak.

In line with proposals made as recently as last week, suggestions by a P.M.A. official met with favor by a governmental committee and included, among its resolutions, that the government should maintain support prices, and that quotas be established on the basis or 1961 production. Further study of the plan is expected. Another speaker of the evening was Bernie Fogo, superintendent of field men for the P.M.A. Adding beauty to the meeK ing were Miss Darlene Schaefer, the McHenry Local's can didate for county dairy princess last summer, and Miss Pat Hogan of Ringwood, who not only won the count y crown but went on to be awarded state princess title in Chicago.
