She applied her brakes and lost control of the vehicle, which continued off the south side of the road, through a ditch and onto the lawn of the Ted Schae- fer residence, striking a tree. Mike Leon, 5, who was on the lawn waiting for the bustoturn, was struck by the Parker car. Frank Schaffer, bus driver, told deputies he had been given permission by the school to turn. He added that the chil­ dren usually wait at the Ted Schaefer residence for him to pick them up, but the Leon boy ran out ahead of the others this particular morning. It was noted that regardless of the turning procedure, on the day of the accident the bus was entirely on Scott avenue, with another car behind it, and for this reason the bus driver could not be held responsible. The child was removed to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, where the child's mother, Jo­ anne Nimsgern Leon, is a nur­ se. He was checked over and re­ leased. Miss Parker, who was thrown into the windshield on the right side, breaking the glass with her head, was later reported in satisfactory condition. An auto driven by Thomas Rinda, 4421 Mapleleaf drive, McHenry, was totally destroyed in a one-car accident Sunday evening at 9:50, a mile north of Solon Mills.

A hit-run accident occurred Saturday evening at Rand road and Magnolia street, involving a car driven by Thomas G. Schmidt of 805 Rand road, Mc­ Henry. Schmidt told deputies he was east-bound on Rand road when he saw another car partially in his lane. He moved to the shoulder of the road but the other vehicle continued to swerve until it was entirely in his lane. The autos collided when Schmidt was off the shoulder. The other driver con­ tinued west on Rand road. A witness, C.J. Stojan, Chi­ cago, verified his account of the accidrat. James L.

With additional vehicles in use as the city expands, the cost of gasoline each month has reached a point where it was decided to advertise for bids. Specifications and stan­ dards must be formulated be­ fore bids can be taken. A proposal by Alderman Rog­ ers to reduce the speed limit in residential areas to 20 miles per hour brought out consider­ able discussion, resulting in a study to be made throughout the city. It was generally agreed that enforcement is the big prob­ lem with a limited number of policemen and squad cars to cover the large area. Chief Es- pey called attention to the list of fines each month as an in­ dication of police efforts to cut excessive speed. City Attorney, JohnE. Looze, reported a postponement by the Zoning Board of Appeals on the zoning petitions of the McHen­ ry Hospital and McHenry Med­ ical Group. Determination of the zoning classification when the hospital was built will be giv­ en study before further action is taken. TOP MARIAN STUDENT WINS MERIT AWARD (Continued from page 1) liott of 4410 W. Ponca, named a Semifinalist in the 1969-70 National Merit Scholar ship pro­ gram.' Hie 15,000 semifinalists ap­ pointed are among the nation's most intellectually talented high school seniors. They will com­ pete for about 3,000 merit scholarships to be awarded in 1970. The semifinalists were the highest scorers in their states on the National Merit Scholar­ ship qualifying test (NMSQT), which was given last Febru­ ary to some 750,000 students in 17,250 schools nation-wide. They constitute less than 1 APPRAISE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM (Continued from page I) crimination toward those whose conferences occur late in the year, after the fund budgeted is depleted. A total of $5,000 is allowed for this purpose each year. Clint Claypool questioned concerning the cost of such con­ ferences and said he would pre­ fer not to set a specific a- mount in the budget but rather allow money deemed necessary for each meeting. He argued that where a particular amount is budgeted, it is almost sure to be entirely spent. Mr. Clay- pool later made a motion to accept the travel policy. Teaching contracts were of­ fered Miss Nancy Scott, BA, fourth step, librarian at East campus, and John L. Chris- tenson, MA, first step, math, East campus. Both are Uni­ versity of Wisconsin graduates. Educational aides were em­ ployed at East campus, includ­ ing Mrs. Johanna Jirousek, Hu­ manities; Mrs. Maria Heiser, Applied Arts; Miss Janice Carl­ son, library; Mrs. Erma France, typing supervision, and Mrs. Beatrice Kumpula, super­ vision. ' The board authorized the ex­ penditure of $200 for the Ath­ letic department to participate in the Cross Country compe­ tition to be held in Peoria. This is listed as a top state event. There was one dissenting vote, that of Clint Claypool, to the motion to accept James A. Lawrence as business man­ ager for bath District 15 and 156. Mr. Claypool said he was not opposed to Mr. Lawrence, but rather to the procedure used in employing him. He said it was his understanding that a joint meeting would be held be­ tween the two boards to make the selection. Dr. Bergstrom explained that a press release concerning Mr. Lawrence's employment had been given to the press prematurely. A listing of professional ne­ gotiations from the faculty was presented to the board for study. It included, among many items, pay for graduate hours to be increased from $15 to $30; in­ crease of hour limit on grad­ uate work from nine to fif­ teen; increase of personal bus­ iness days to two; and $150 increase every year after top of salary schedule is reached. The board voted approval of a bonfire proposal of the Stu­ dent Council on Oct. 9, to be held on the property north of the West campus. Purpose of the activity, in connection with homecoming, is to promote school spirit. » ON TARGET 7,. GUN REGISTRATION IRKS "LITTLE GIANT" House Majority Leader Carl Albert's well-known op­ position to Federal gun registration stems not from the theory alone. Oklahoma's peppery "Little Giant" collided in person with registration red-tape on the local level last spring in Wash­ ington, D.C. Rep. Albert went into the Atlas Sports Store on "E" St., N.W., to buy an imported Italian 12-ga. double-barrel shotgun. It was the first gun Rep. Albert had bought in Washing­ ton since the District of Columbia Council drew up gun reg­ istration rulings without the consent of Congress. The clerk presented him with a form to fill out.And then the former Rhodes Scholar's trial-by-registration began. The Oklahoma Congressman explained it testily to a news­ man from his home State. " They wanted to know where I was born, where I had lived throughout my life, my age, race, and so forth," he said. " They wanted to know everything under the sun, and then I was sent to the police station, where they directed me to a place across the street to get my picture taken - for $1.50. "I also had to pay $2 for a license application, which I was told would be sent in to the FBI, or somewhere. "They said it would be 10 days or 2 weeks before they would know whether I was qualified for a license." It was eventually established that the Congressman from Oklahoma was not a criminal, mental defective, or other un­ desirable, and Rep. Albert got his shotgun ... but not in time for the week-end trip to Oklahoma he had planned. "Some people wonder why I am opposed to the Federal gun registration law," he mused. "Why, in Oklahoma the season would be over before a hunter could get his gun reg­ istered." Sponsored by McHENRY GUN CENTER percent of the graduating sec­ ondary school seniors in the United States. Hie semifinalists are rep- resentative of the country's most intellectually able young people, according to Edward C. Smith, president of the Na­ tional Merit Scholarship cor­ poration (NMSC). "From this group will come many future leaders in business, Industry and the professions," he said. "These students bring honor not only to themselves, but al­ so to their families, their tea­ chers ahd their communities. The future success of these young people will, however, de­ pend upon their ability to be­ come productive at the high in­ tellectual levels that they are capable erf attaining". Semifinalists must advance to finalist standing to be consid­ ered for the Merit Scholarships to be awarded next spring. Semifinalists become finalists by receiving the endorsement of their schools, substantiating their high NMSQT performance <Hi a second examination, and providing iiJbrmation about their achievements and In­ terest. . About 97 percent of the semi­ finalists are expected to become finalists, and each will be con­ sidered for one of the 1,000 National Merit $1,000 scholar­ ships which are allocated by state.

There certainly must be ad­ vantages In the increasingly popular system of doing ev­ erything yesterday, but In our advancing years we seem to be continually left behind the crowd. The summer clothing (which was never really prac­ tical until warm Weather came our way In mid-July) suddenly went out-of-season before the end of August. We are now preparing for Christmas, even though our many unaccomplish­ ed endeavors are of the summer, variety.
