Women Voter League To Hold Annual Meeting In McHenry On Thursday /pie annual meeting of the League of Women Voters of Wood3tock - McHenry will be held at the McHenry Public Library on Thursday, April 18, at 8 p.m. Speaking on the merits of party precinct participation will be Ted Wickham, chairman of the County Precinct Captains of the Republican party, and William Bolger, McHenry Precinct committeeman. In announcing the subject, Mrs. James Miyashiro, president of the League, asked the questions, "What keeps people away from political activity? Is it distaste for what the word 'politics' implies? Is it reluctance to let friends and neighbors know their political leanings? Or is it just plain apathy?*' Mrs. Miyashiro pointed out that the new league of Women Voters! publication, Join The Party, suggests all these factors are contributing to poor turnouts at the primary, ft points out that "if you aren't a party member, you are depriving yourself of a vital part of your political rights." ( JOIN THE PARTY Join Tlje Party answers questions on "why join the party" and "how you join the party" as well as explaining political parties and their history and structure in various parts of Crowd Attends Zoning Hearing (Continued from page 1) In further questioning by the attorney, Harrison admitted that there was some other vacant commercial land within the city but more was needed, his opinion based on the demand of his clients in recent years. He added that there was a limited amount of city land available with sewer and water. CORE AREA Pursuing the subject of the core commercial area, Green wondered if containing this core district is sufficient reason for re-zoning and asked if this would not "freeze out" the area's home owners who,might want to remain. He asked, iih fact, if the re-zoning would not be an empty gesture, to which Harrison replied that he might be able to answer that question if he could be assured these home owners would never move. Harrison referred to the area from Front, down to Elm to Green and south, as the prime commercial area, containing the greatest intensity of sales. Mr. Looze re-entered the debate to ask questions of Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer, in which it was brought out that the city has been negotiating with the Savings and Loan association to provide for city parking facilities north of the city hall. Meyer was also asked to make a comparison in the present population of 6,000 to a projection of 17,000 by 1985, all aimed to point out the need for additional commercial land in the city. TWO OBJECTORS Mr. Green presented two objectors to give their reasons for wishing to retain the residential standing of the area. Thomas Fenwick used a map of Waukegan street to show almost 100 percent residential support in favor of retaining the present status of the property. He pointed to dangers he felt would result if traffic were increased, particularly in view of the fact that there are about forty-five children residing on the street iii addition to four classes of Kindergarten pupils who attend classes there. Both he and Leo Heimer said they felt most of the homes were well maintained and owners had a pride in their neighborhood. They said they wanted to keep it in the character of a residential area, which they felt would be lost if the north side of th^p street were to be rezoned; Thejzoning board will take the matter under advisement and make a recommendation to the Cily Council for action.
