New, 16-ycar-old drivers may take encouragement from some facts rsvoaling that their older brothers, aged 20 through 24, have a higher percentage of accidents than any other age group in Illinois. This age group represents 10.97 per cent of state drivers, but is involved in 14.97 per cent of all accidents. The second highest group ais the age class frDm 25 through 34.

SUPERVISORS APPROVE NEW COUNTY BUDGET (Continued From Fas* 1) sufficiently to take action, which was deferred until next month. A letter was read from California Chemical of Richmond, which withdrew a petition for a zoning variation ^which would permit storage of fertilizer. The company indicated it wished to maintain favorable public relations, and observed that there was considerable opposition to the proposal. Bid Information Supervisor Tom Huemann of McHenry posed a question to Chairman George Janak, requesting information on the amount of money the board could spend without obtaining bids. Later, Huemann said he Considered the answer he received unsatisfactory since it disclosed no definite amount. The question resulted from a visit by the sheriff's committee, of which he is a member, to State's Attorney Richard Cross two months ago, at which time they sought the same information. According to Huemann, they were told that there were no limitations mentioned in the law. Salary Increases Salary increases were given approval for employees in the offices of the circuit clerk, county treasurer, sheriff, state's attorney, supervisor of assessment, superintendent of schools, building and zoning, county clerk, county veterinarian, county judge and family court. New state's attorney personnel will include an additional assistant criminal division state's attorney at $4,- 000 per year, an investigator at $2,000, and an additional per diem assistant for the board of supervisors and committee at $4,000, among others. A request by State's Attorney Richard Cross for the expenditure of $10,000 for investigator services was reduced to $2,000, although one member of the committee, Edward Buss of McHenry, had suggested $3,000. Mr. Cross deemed the expenditure necessary if the office were to keep a closer watch on crime in the county as suggested during the hearings held here this summer. The board approved three new clerks at $1.50 an hour for the treasurer's office, an additional process server and investigator, each at $5,100, and an additional assistant child welfare worker at $6,000 a year. Co-starring with the well known McHenry comedienne is Larry Ekeroth. Others in the cast include Bill Jahn, Yvonne Matt, Walli Kuhns, Gordon Michaels and Jerry Wagner.
