Non-disabled veterans are entitled to have five points added to their final average in entrance examinations! Disabled veterans are entitled to ten points. Qualified veterans applying for examinations will receive points in scoring if they submit records substantiating preference.

Mee^jttg' :iyith government agency representatives concerning tlie ; problem , were Mrs. Eleanor Pawlikowski and Dr. Lee ' Gladstone of McHenry, among' others. : Form- Corporation ,, This groupV was informed that under theN Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, it could legally form into a Community Action agency the local body empowered to enact and administer all anti-poverty programs funded by the Office of E c o n o m i c O p p o r t u n i t y . The group acted immediately and formed a not-for-profit corporation called the Community Action Agency for McHenry County and held a series of meetings for the purpose of working on its application for a development grant and for the funds allocated to McHenry county during 1965 in the amount of $107,000. It has also applied for an Operation Headstart grant in the amount of $25,000 for the summer of 1966. Headstart is the program designed to give certain economically and socially deprived p r e - s c h o o l a g e c h i l d - ren a "headstart" toward schooling. It was brought out at Tuesday's meeting that school districts of the county will contribute the equivalent of $4,000 toward the program through bus service^ use of class rooms, etc. It is anticipated that 150 children will be enrolled. Programs in which a community action agency may engage must meet certain requirements, chief among them that they benefit the poor and focus on low income families and individuals. It was mentioned Tuesday that the county agency has begun to receive support from various private and public agencies which presently touch upon one area or another of social concern. Third Term Ceorge Janak of Algonquin was unanimously elected to his third term as board chairman. One of the chief items of business in preparing for the 1966-67 year was naming supervisors to important committees.

It was revealed that in March, $35,574.95 was collected in the county in delinquent personal property taxes. HEART ATTACK IS FATAL TO CARL BUCKNER (Continued form Page 1) which would assure the best possible education for. McHenry youngsters. Mr. Buckner was born in Carriers Mills, 111., Jan. 25, 1913 and . spent, his early life in that city. Later, he earned his bachelor of education degree at Southern Illinois university and his master's degree from1 the University of Illinois. Move, to Community The family moved to McHenry in August of 1949, when he - became principal. He was advanced to assistant superintendent in 1957 and became superintendent the following year. Begins Career He Started his career as an educator in Carriers Mills, where he acted as teacher and coach. Later he went to Gilman, HI., Where he was teacher, coach and assistant principal. His affiliations locally included the Community Methodist church, McHenry Rotary club, McHenry County Education association, Illinois Education association, National Eduction association and the American Association of School Administrators. Survivors include his wife; one daughter. Nancy Stilling, of Crystal Lake; his mother, Mrs. John Buckner of Carriers Mills; two brothers, John, superintendent of schools at Crystal Lake and Norman of Sullivan, 111. The body will rest at the Peter M. Jus ten & Son funeral home after 4 o'clock Thursday. Services will be conducted by Rev. Ernest Carder of the Community Methodist church at 2 o'clock Friday, with burial in McHenry. RECEIVES SENTENCE Roger Danley of Chicago has been sentenced to six months in Vandalia on two charges of deceptive practice. He had been accused of -attempting to cash a check in Gladstone's store in McHenry, Written on the McHenry State Bank in the amount of $114.19. On the second, he was charged with deceptively receiving $84.% for a check cashed at the National Tea Co. Musin & Meaaderin' (Continued from Page 1) under the present system, in which first place is felt to be a definite advantage. We wonder if the meat-line system developed in recent years might be the answer, with numbers given on arrival. A definite time might be set, after which they could be obtained, and the system supervised until the actual filing, with candidates required to remain in line to file or lose their number. It is surprising that the entire routine now in effect should not have been under more serious attack before. Possibly the debate, surrounding the 1966 election will bring about a more satisfactory system. One of the most pleasant things about Spring is the arrival of a beautiful green covering over the ground. Each year it becomes more welcome, not only because there is a new brightness to the landscape but because it covers the debris that more and more litterbugs choose to throw on vacant property. Two complaints have come our way in the past week. One concerns Draper road, where an assemblage of beer bottles and cans, old TV sets, chairs, etc., are strewn on private property. Another came from the Shalimar Community which has always been among the loveliest sites in the area. Residents there, too, are complaining of unwelcome "visitors" who stop just long enough to leave unwanted items from their own home. The littering problem is on the increase and there is little p r o s p e c t f o r i m p r o v e m e n t . When young, able-bodied individuals sit a few feet from a trash can at a drive-in lunch stand and brazenly throw papers and cups from the window, you can hardly expect better manners when they are in the country. It may take a little time, but it wouldn't surprise us if the day came when a minor revolution against the littering habit opened, with some real penalties for offenders. The alternative is a dirty, disordered out of doors in place of the heritage of a beautiful countryside which we have so long treasured. McHenry music lovers have long been proud of one of the community's most talented singers, Angela Amici, better known to her friends as "Dee". As in most art forms, perfection requires endless hours of work and study, and it is to this end that Mrs. Amici has devoted the last two years. This Sunday, friends who attend her first McHenry county concert sponsored by the Fine Arts association will have an opportunity to see the results of her work. Those who have heard her have high praise for this talented artist who merits the support of her community. K.A.F.
