Mitchel vice chairman, Illinois Junior College board, has related that opportunities are "enormous, challenging and provocati. ve" for the additional areas of education the junior colleges will provide. A grid of commuter junior colleges was envisioned by the Illinois Board of Higher Education in its original master plan. Mitchel, who in addition to being president and editorial director of Encyclopae d i a Britannica, Inc., is also a consultant to the U.S. office of Education, said he and others are now engaged in reexamining and researching curriculum from the kindergarten through the fourteenth grade to see if it can be made more useful in the vocational education field.

The association is constantly interested in hearing all opinions and suggestions.

Start B@®ch Asid Park Improvement In Lakemoor Area Property owners in Lakemoor and Lilymoor are being approached for contributions aimed at improving the beach and park in that area. President John Bonder and village board members are reported to have assured the committee that once initial improvements are completed, they will attempt to maintain the areas from village funds. The clearing of dead trees and brush has already begun, and later sand will be placed on the ice so that spring thaws will allow it to settle into place. Beaches will be both widened and lengthened and the balance of work to provide a park and picnic area will be completed in the spring. Estimated cost of necessary improvements has been set at $5,100. If the quota is exceeded, additional improvements will be added. Shop In McHenry There's a lot of difference between starting in at the bottom, ahd in getting in on the ground floor.

The Christmas Seal letters will have reached over 33,000 homes, businesses and industrial plants in time for the opening date of the Christmas Seal campaign, Nov. 14. This announcement was made by Mrs. Wilmot Sherwin, Woodstock, chairman of this year's Christmas Seal campaign. Mrs. Sherwin, a member of the board of directors of the McHenry County Tuberculosis association for many years, feels that this year's campaign\will far exceed last year's total of $24,769.26. €,824 XRayed During 1966 the Tuberculosis association was able to bring the mobile chest x-ray unit to the towns of McHenry, Harvard, Crystal Lake, Cary and Marengo, in addition to six visits to Woodstock. A total of 6,624 persons were x-rayed. "We feel that the people of our county appreciate this service and will continue to support the Tuberculosis association financially," said Mrs. Sherwin. Mrs. Claribel H. Naylor, R.N., of the Tuberculosis association, pointed out that tuberculosis can be detected by x-ray in the early stages, but other conditions also are found. Reports of all findings are sent to the individual's personal physician. Tuberculin skin tests are made available to all first, fifth and ninth grade students and to all student food handle^ of public and parochial School. The Christmas Seal Campaign is the only method of fund raising for the Tuberculosis association. The year's program is determined by the total of the campaign funds. Eighty-eight cents of every dollar contributed is used for the community. Six cents goes for research and the remaining six cents goes to the Illinois and National Tuberculosis associations. 22.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS VOTE BUSSES FOR YOUNGER PUPILS (Continued from Page 1) to make up a deficit in the depleted transportation fund by withdrawing a total of *65,000 from the educational funds in 1965. Teachers' salaries, supplies and equipment are normally met by this latter fund. This loss, plus the need for a more orderly and equitable transportation system, resulted recently in a trial cut-back in bus transportation for all students living within the excluded area. Ask CoopeETBtea Dr. Bergstrom told interested parents at a meeting held at tiie high school auditorium that he shared their concern for the safety and comfort of very young'children during the winter months and was happy to announce the decision of the board to resume transportation for them. He asked that parents living close to the respective schools cooperate, however, by having their children stay off of the busses whenever possible. Dr.Bergstrom announced that the annual transportation cost for elementary and high school students in the two McHenry school districts is abojLit §159,030. Only one third of this was reimbursed by the state last year. The transportaion money is exhausted, Dr. Berg s t rom said, because statuary limits on taxation does not enable the school to collect all transportation expenses. Costs far exceed the sums obtained both from tax dollars and state reimbursements for the pupose. The restored service for young children will be financially possible, Dr. Bergstrom said, because one bus may be freed for the purpose as a result of the necessary elimination of transportation for children in the upper elementary grades living within the mile and a half boundary. Study Plan Dr. Bergstrom also announced that a study is under way to see if transportation for fourth grade pupils living in the excluded area may be restored, as well. He asked, also, that a blue ribbon study committee on transportation be formed to help the school board and administration to resolve transportation problems and recommend guidelines. One proposal offerea by the superintendent was that an additional bus be placed in service by the school district and that its operation be by a small monthly fee from the parents who reside in the area in question. Such a service, provided by a private owner but remaining under school supervision, might cost an individual family no more than $4 or less monthly for one child. It was felt that a service of this type might be more economical and convenient than car pools or other forms of transportation. Parents are to be polled for their opinions on the proposal.
