Meanderin The gala inaugural balls are over, and a new President and Governor have settled down to more problems than the feature players on the Excedrin commercials. Most of the publicity has been given to the man in the Capitol at Washington, but our sympathy also extends to Springfield. Most top office holders can expect their chief opponent in the other major party, the Democrats in the case of Mr, Ogilvie. But he has more immediate problems than even the loyal opposition can provide. We became aware of his big headache this past week with (Continued on page 11) It's not quite like the "team teaching" that Sandra Krumme (B.S., '67) learned about before becoming a math teacher at forest View high school in Arlington Heights. But she and her team partner, Rosemary Thunder, do conduct programs with audience participation at centrally- located "classrooms." The difference is they are in South Vietnam, and their purpose as Red Cross clubmobile workers is to help break the routine of military life for U.S. servicemen stationed there. On a regular weekly schedule, the girls present their informal recreational programs. Their "classroom": a recreation center or mess hall, or even a tree stump in the field.

The average age of the American soldier in (Continued on page 11) School Board In Active Session • A quantity of miscellaneous business came before the board of School District 156 in meeting Tuesday evening.

Mc Williams, general manager of Pure Milk association, at the annual meeting of PMA District 6 at the VFW hall in McHenry Jan. 21.

City Proposes Lakeland Park Area Project The McHenry City Council, at the meeting Monday night, directed Attorney John E. Looze to draw a resolution to the State of Illinois seeking financial aid in the proposed project of cleaning the drainage ditch which runs through the Lakeland Park area. It is felt that drainage through this area can be greatly improved by clearing the existing ditch. A letter from Baxter and Woodman, Civil and Sanitary Engineers, accompanied by a letter of agreement from Lakeland Construction, brought approval of the sewer installation in the new Fairway Green subdivision. A television inspection of the lines showed one connection point that will be corrected after the frost is out of the ground and not later than May 15 of this year. Approvals also followed engineer's reports on water mains in Boone Valley Unit No. 2 and sewer and water extensions to the West Campus high school. ' Word of continued efforts to connect Bull Valley road and Idyl Dell road was encouraging to the Council. The city will be represented at a meeting Feb. 3 in the State of Illinois Division of Highways office in Elgin for advance planning of highways. McHenry >has particular interest in this since traffic on some roads has reached a stage where action is needed. In Chief Espey's report, he advi sed that stationing a policeman at the Illinois Rt. 120 - Crystal Lake Road corner at certain hour^ has greatly improved the traffic problem. With improvements completed in Ladd's Unit No. 2, the $125,000 subdivision bond was released and a $5,000 maintenance bond accepted. A request from the Woman's auxiliary for the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County to sponsor a tag day May 2 was approved.
