Of one thing we can be sure - if McHenry should make a bid to regain a court lost in time beyond the remembrance of anyone alive today, its location in a congested part of town should be no problem. Our city has already experienced ample problems from a surplus of activity in particular areas, and it is almost certain the court would only be welcomed outside these crowded locations. Certainly we are not yet a direct part of the controversy, but there is ample time if one may judge from the time it has continued. Are there individuals among us with time and interest in entering the fray? K.A.F. CONDUCT CENSUS ON EMPLOYMENT IN THIS AREA A selected sample of households in this area will be asked questions about their employment during 1967 as part of the February Current Population survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of the Census, according to Theodore F. Olson, director of the Bureau's regional office in Chicago. The 1967 survey questions will be aimed at finding out the number of weeks worked during the year, the amount of time lost because of unemployment and other reasons, and the job held the longest time during the year by each person oyer fourteen years of age in sample households. The Current Population sur- SCHOOL REFERS TO MARCH 9 AS DAY OF DECISION Saturday, March 9, is the day of decision for McHeriry residents - the School District 15 bond issue referendum for $2,000,000. This referendum will provide, if accepted, a new middle school for the system, a school that will relieve the district of need of building classroom space for the next five years. What will happen if the bond issue is passed? First of all the building will be constructed west of McHenry on the northeast corner of the intersection of Highway 120 and Ringwood road. The building would be started as soon as possible and finished in time for the start of the 1969-70 school year. Second, a shift in school organization would take place. Present school organization in McHenry is kindergarten through sixth grades in the elementary schools; seventh and eighth in the Junior high school, and freshman through senior in the high school. The new organization would break thothirteen years of public schooling into three more equal segments. Kindergarten through four in elementary schools; fifth through eighth in the middle school, and nine through twelve as before in the high school. From the standpoint of organization, this system is considered by local school officials to be much more workable than the present system, and offers more possibilities for growth. But education, not organization, is the important factor in the change to the new system. Studies have shown that the least amount of change from year to year in students comes between the sixth and seventh vey is taken each month from a representative sample of households in 449 areas throughout the United States chiefly to obtain national estimates of current employment and unemployment. The identity of households is confidential by law, and the facts obtained are used for statistical purposes only. C 0 Ford Mustang Hardtop New Ford Mustang-$236 f.o.b.

Also, students in the fifth and sixth grades mature quicker., today than several years ago, and are ready to study more challenging and probing studies than can adequately be taught inthepresentelementary schools. Fifth and sixth graders, beginning to mature into young men and women, need training and counselling that can best be offered in a middle school. - Third, plans will be started for the conversion of the present Junior high school into another middle school, com- . pleting the reorganization of the district. But what if the bond issue fails? According to Frazier, Raftery, Orr, and Fairbank, architects for the proposed middle school, a three-month delay in the passage of the issue would make it impossible to complete the structure in time for 1969- 70 school year. This would cause the crowding that has begun to affect the District 15 schools to grow to almost unprecedented dimensions. Next, year some Junior high school students will be attending classes outside the present building because there is no more space there. Second, reorganization plans officials say, would be confused with patchwork organization replacing present planning, and stop-gap measures such as double shifts, lengthened school days, or extended school year, made necessary. Third, some beneficial programs that have proven successful in the past might have to be cut back for the lack of space - music, art physical education and basic skills programs. Fourth, in three or four months the bond issue would be voted upon again, but, due to inflating building and equipment costs, the amount of the issue may be raised. FRI., MAR. 8, 1968 - PLA--I--N--D --E--A--L ER - PG. --3 YMCA Opehs Second [Plhose Of Fund Drive Dinner Meeting To Encourage Workers Toward $29,000 Goal the main address of the evening when he acquaints his audience with the history of the "Y",:.* its rapid growth, its future>j goals, and the importance ai-l? its immediate financial re-- requirements. ' '/r The second phase of'the Lake Region YMCA's 1968 finance campaign begins on March 12 when workers and guests congregate at the Crystal Lake American Legion hall, 406 Woodstock street, Crystal Lake for the kick-off dinner of the five General Solicitations divisions of the campaign. Participants will be treated to a turkey and roast beef buffet dinner. The purpose of the dinrier meeting is to prepare and encourage workers in their job of assisting the "Y" in reaching its goal of $29,000. Workers in the General solicitations division are seeking to raise $14,000 of the funds needed for the 1968 budget of the Lake Region YMCA. Other operating funds will come as a result of membership dues and program fees. Dr. Alfred W. Seiling, 1968 General Solicitations chairman and immediate past president of the association, will deliver RECRUIT WORKERS Workers are being recruited from all of the ten-community service area towns and it is hoped that the task force will be 185 strong when the canvassing begins. Materials ar©*^ supplied to canvassers with thor * goal of equipping each indivi-' dual with the most complete and accurate story of the Lake Region YMCA. Determination and hard work for the job of contacting every prospective contributor and showing the personal conviction that has been evident in the other areas of the Y*s programs, will result in the successful conclusion of the campaign when it. ends on April 1. A recent progress report from the Special Gifts division of the campaign shows pledges, after one week of the campaign, of $5,250 toward the goal of $15,000. This is 35 percent of the Special Gifts goal and is evidence of the dedicated effort of the twenty-nine men who have volunteeredto solicit funds from business and industry in the Lake Region service area.
