July 18, 1983 ALLAY FEARS ON LAKE COUNTY'S DISPOSAL PLAN (Continued from Pa|e 1) {Continued from pace 1) darkness in aM otner areas ot the continent. Those who know -- Including doctors and scientists, my there fal no safe way to look directly at the eclipse. Smoked (flan*, exposed photographic film and dark flaws are not adequate protection for watching It, and many who have tried them in the past have suffered eye injuries. The Society for the Prevention of Blindness has been a leader in spreading the word to both children and aauits in an effort to save eyesight. The fascinating sight of a solar eclipse is a curious phenomenon which will attract many. During it, even though the dazzling visible rays of tiie sun are blocked, dangerous Intrared rays are emitted and they can cause harmful rays on a piece of paper and burn it. Since there is no pain, it is too late before a person realizes tie has a retinal burn that is incurable. Directions for making a sunscope appeared in the July 3, issue of the Plaindealer -- n safe method of viewing the eclipse. Most of us feel we are entitled to a week or two vacation a year, but regardless of how the city's superintendent of public works feels, he Is experiencing great difficulty in doing just that. Fred Meyer -- according to the city's employee schedule-- is taking his vacation this week. In fact, however, Fred is making daily trips from Wisconsin to see that the many construction project details are progressing accordinc to schedule. Those who are inconvenienced by the many projects now in operation should take some comfort in knowing they are not alone in a desire to see their completion. With school days long past for local 18-year-olds, it may be of interest for graduates to know that emphasis is being placed on post-high school technical training, for which the need is critical at this time. Estimates of the number of new technicians that will be needed in the state each year during the present decade range to 200,- f 000. Although 47 per cent of the high schools offer homemaking courses, and 45 per cent offer agricultural courses, only 9 per cent offer trade and industrial courses. Those who are in the best position to know, say that the programs offered are not preparing people for enough kinds of jobs. In the wholesale and retail trade, it was found that only one in 200 employees had prepared for his job through these vocational courses, and in manufacturing and construction, only two in 444 employees. Parental resistance has been listed as a unexpected stumbling block. <4fhe importance of advanced evocation has been stressed so often and so loudly in recent years, that the very routine of it often makes it fall on deaf ears. Nevertheless, the importance of the warning becomes apparent through fkcts. Good news came recently with announcement that employment figures were hitting a new high, and even better, that unemployment had dipped at last to below the four million work. Automation has probably received the biggest share of blame for unemployment, but signs indicate that the future might better be anticipated with challenge than with threat. A survey of more than 150 companies engaged in the same type of business revealed that -although they hired 2,470 male college graduates last year, one out of every six positions available went unfilled. In another business -- one created by automation -- it has been ' estimated that in the next ton years there will be 500,000 jobs open for high school graduates. The only Catch is that the openings will include specially trained individuals, which should be indication enough that the magic word to remember for the next generation will be education in the broadest sense. All of this receives encouragement in the fact, made known by the state Education association, that high schools are getting better and arc turning out such superior graduates that colleges are having to adjust their programs to take account of the ability of freshmen to do more advanced college work than those of five or ten years ago. It has been pointed out that while not all of the nation's high scfeopls rank with the best, the best are setting a pace which sets them apart as tops in the world, a goal which should l>o followed by those which do not yet measure up. the Fox river, causing a bluegreen stain, was blamed for the condition, abetted by climatic conditions over a period of many months. Aid .Suggestions Rep. Albert Pearson was present and expressed concern over a condition of which he was not aware, he said, until so close to the end of the legis- | lative period that he was unable to introduce any correction bill. Little prospoct for immediate help is expected, since the Legislature will not be in session for another year and a half. Later, Mr. Pearson expressed an opinion that the matter might best be handle^d under federal control. In regard to the matter of local sewage disposal, the question was posed to Mr. Schreibel as to the feasibility of solar disposal. He stated that of the various methods, rivers remain the best. Explain* Dye Test Supervisor Walter Dean attended and gave an interesting talk on the problem which existed a few years ago at Wonder Lake. He spoke in detail of their method of dye testing and the eventual discovery that a breakdown at the Woodstock disposal plant was responsible. Correction has brought no further trouble. Lewis Pitzen of Pistakee Bay spoke of the problem of sewage and garbage from house boats and cruisers being dumped into the river, in spite of an ordinance in effect on sealing boats. Mr. Dean advised that anyone who was aware of a violation should list the number of the boat and the matter would be checked immediately. Tuesday evening's meet ing evoked more interest than any in recent years, and may be a start to correcting a problem which Is a definite threat to ftye recreational future of the resort area.

Plan Purchase Of Old School The initial push to purchase the old Ringwood school for use as a center for youth and adult activities is almost over, and the sale is scheduled for 2 o'clock Saturday, July 20. Purchase of the building for community purposes was delayed until the property boundaries were established and title cleared. A group of interested persons in the Ringwood-Wonder Lake area long ago sought the support of others who might like to see a community center Smaller membership shares are available for families, as well as larger shares for clubs and organizations. Membership in this non-profit area center guarantees use of a facility long deemed necessary by residents of the community. Plans call for a library, an ice skating pond with warming house, a center for Scout meetings, social and service olub meetings, a voting place, space for hobby groups, art shows, dancing, etc. For the youth, attractions will include a teen canteen for activities planned by youth with adult advisers, a recreation field, space for Boy and Girl Scouts, 4-H and othermeetings. Many of the youth activities are promised to be concentrated around vacation and summers when young people have most free time. However, the center would be open for an afternoon or two after school during the school year, and also for selected hours on weekends. Further information may be obtained by calling Mrs. Kenneth Rhoades, 653-2301, or Mrs. Marilyn Bacon, 653-5933. | LEGION POST HAS IMPRESSIVE (INSTALLATION The moral of the jet plane seems to be: "You'll get there faster with push, than with pull."

Answering a call that a German Shephard dog was loose in the vicinity of Maple avenue, Officer Schoenholtz went to the home of Francis Mazzone of 3807 W. Maple avenue, owner of the animal.

CLASSES FOR DEAF SOUGHT BY NEW COUNTY GROUP The first meeting of the McHenry County Parents of the Hearing Handicapped was held recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Zingrone in rural Woodstock. The aim of the group is to promote the establishment of a special class for deaf and hard-of-hearing children in McHenry county and to promote any other type of special education for these children wherever it is lacking. A discussion was held regarding the petitioning for a hearing under the Illinois State law to show the need for such a class. It was agreed that a petition would be drawn up and ready for signing at the next meeting on Wednesday, July 24. The matter of dues and bylaws were tabled until the next meeting. The five classifications by hearing level for speech were briefly discussed. It was agreed that each participating member should have a copy of this chart to better enable him to evaluate the educational needs of his child. Members of this new organization come from all parts of the county. Any parent who has a child with a hearing loss is invited to join. Information may be received by contacting Robert Burns in Fox River Grove, or A. N. Zingrone in Woodstock. STEAL FROM CABIN A number of items were reported stolen from a cabin belonging to Edward Kwaitkowski of Colmar's subdivision on Spring Grove-Wilmot road. Among articles taken were a cook stove, grass cutter, lawn chairs, fishing equipment and dishes. Damage was also reported to a truck parked on the property. Ordinarily, watchers can observe about 3 meteors per hour. FINANCIAL ASSETS OF DISTRICT 12 ARE MADE KNOWN Previous articles reporting the findings of the Johnsburg public school citizens' committoo survey have dealt with in- : mation obtained by the popsi ition committee, which prei: ted a double enrollment by b't school year 1958-1969, and with the recommendations of the curriculum committee, sup- : -ted by the advice of the remit ion team of the State ' A partment of Public Instruc- ' n for curricular improvement m the deficient fields of science, ?al and instrumental music, industrial arts, home arts and f ••eign language. Also previously discussed was the study made by the building committee, which recommended an additional building on a more centrally located site. In the following paragraphs, the committee touches on the financial assets and liabilities of School District 12. Questions to be considered are: (1) How much is the district worth? (2) what does it owe? (3) How much effort is being made to support the schools? and (4) How much of our total tax is used for education? The financial worth of school districts in Illinois is usually considered in terms of assessed valuation. Figures obtained by the finance committee from the office of the county assessor show the present assessed valuation of Johnsburg Public School District 12 is $16,363,- 000. This provides a per pupil assessed value of $29,914, which compares favorable with other schools in the state. Bond Issues The extent of indebtedness must necessarily be considered when evaluating the needs ot a school district and how these are to be met. At present, there are two outstanding bond issues. However, there is more than sufficient bonding power left for the proposed new school. The finance committee also made a study of effort being made by various McHenry county schools in regard to per pupil assessed valuation over the past four years. Schools chosen were Harrison at Wonder Lake. Cary elementary, Marengo elementary, Fox River Grove elementary, all because of their comparable size, and McHENRY MAN * IN REHEARSAL FOR SHAKESPEARE ROLE William G. Houck of 3442 E. Elm, McHenry will appear in three plays this summer at the University of Colorado's sixth annual Colorado Shakespeare festival. He portrays Claudio in "Measure for Measure," Ratcliffe in "Richard III," and Borachio in "Much Ado About Nothing." Houck Is a member of the 1963 Colorado Shakespeare Festival Scholarship company. McHenry elementary because of its geographical proximity. This study showed Johnsburg District 12 to be highest in per pupil evaluation all four years. This means the district ranks first in the ability to provide adequate financial support for education. A further study of these same schools in the same years showed Johnsburg ranking lowest both in educational tax rate and available money per pupil. The proposed increase would still keep our tax rate under that of these other districts. Although a great part of the local tax Is used to finance education, latest figures available from the U.S. Bureau of Census indicates that only a small portion of total government revenue, which includes local, state and federal taxes, is used to support education in its many forms. Of the total tax dollar, 41 cents goes for protection such as defense, fire, veterans, and police; 18 cents is used for welfare, including health, hospitals, social security, housing and relief; 13 cents for cultural purposes, including both elementary and high schools, colleges, and public libraries; 9 cents for public works; 7 cents for natural resources; and 12 cents for miscellanous government expenses. HOPE FOR INTERCHANGE There was new hope this week that an interchange might be constructed on the Illinois Northwest Tollway at the junction of Highway 47, a mile south of Huntley. It is hoped that the interchange might be built with financial aid from the Illinois Division of Highways.
