PAGE lA-PLAINOEALER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, COLLEGE ADVISORY UNIT MAKE'S REPORT TO BOARD MEMBERS (Continued from page 1) on the activities of the college itself. Many, Freund said, did not know that this was an ac­ credited college. He suggested that a College Corner be inserted into news­ papers on a weekly basis to keep the public informed. After further discussion, Freund suggested that possibly t retired man with a knowledge of public relations work would be willing to work a couple of days a week on this important task of informing the citizenry. He concluded with the comment that "The college needs to ed­ ucate people to the services and benefits of the college for their community or else you will have trouble passing any refer­ enda." A1 Albrecht, chairman of the Curriculum report, said that in talking to people he felt it should be asked, "Are we really of­ fering here what the students really want to take?" He went on to compare the local col­ lege's offerings with others. He said, "We have eight associate degrees in the vocational and technical areas while Hays col­ lege has fourteen, Lake County college has twelve and Rock Valley has twenty-five". Asked by Parsley if this par­ ticular sub-committee would be willing to continue its study if the board desired, Albrecht an­ swered that he would contact other members for a decision. He said his committee felt it had "just scratched the sur­ face in studying this problem of curriculum". Following the committee re­ ports, Parsley thanked the en­ tire group and observed that "you have not been discharged as yet so the committee is still considered to be in operation. The Site and Finance sub-com­ mittees which requested ad­ ditional time should continue their studies". Parsley observ­ ed that some of the recommen­ dations will take some time to study but others should be im­ plemented immediately. . In line with its policy of proceeding as quickly as pos­ sible to obtain information lead­ ing to action on a permanent college facility, Parsley ap­ pointed Herbert LutterandE.C. Nichols of the board to con­ tact several firms for esti­ mates on the cost of conducting a professional building reno­ vation cost study. This will be based on building usage as es­ tablished by the report of the Site Feasibility committee. The board will then make its de­ cision on the employment of a firm. Lutter commented, "Wehave considered this before but the board felt that we should not Whorize this type expenditure. We now feel with the recommen­ dation and the work and effort put in by the advisory commit­ tee that we should proceed to hire the outside experts as rec­ ommended by the committee". The board also authorized an independent M.A.I, appraisal of the I.I.T. property with instruc­ tions to appraise the property at its highest and best use. This appraisal instruction is the same as given by the Ill­ inois Building authority. Nichols said he felt that a recommendation by the Public Relations sub-committee should be acted on immediately and the board moved that Act­ ing President John Garrett in­ vestigate the possibility of se­ curing public relations person­ nel. A motion passed to authorize the issuance of $20^<€()0 in tax anticipation warrants Bids were received from the following banks, listing each interest charge: First National Bank of Woodstock, 5 per cent; Harvard State bank. 4.75 per cent; Home State Bank of Crystal Lake, 5 per cent; McHenry State Bank, 4.5 per cent; Marengo State Bank, 3.7 per cent; and State Bank of Woodstock, 4.5 per cent. Following a review of the bids, the board voted to purchase the warrants from the Marengo bank. They will be repaid in June when real estate disburse­ ments are made. As the board reconvened af­ ter an executive session, it was announced that members had moved to authorize a change in salary lane placement and to appoint part time instructors and full time faculty members to extend day classes. A special meeting will be held March 8 at 1 o'clock in the afternoon for executive ses­ sion to review a report from the Presidential Selection commit­ tee. The next regular meeting will be March 25. DISTRICT 156 DISCUSSES PROBLEMS (Continued from page J) the cost of books, paper and equipment is a factor. Q. -Has the district attempted to curb its expenditures? A. -Yes. The budget for op­ erating each school has been drastically reduced. The few- new programs that have been added are supported by special state and federal funds. Many valuable projects such as com­ puter programming, great books, vocational trades, and advance science and math have been postponed or forgotten. All non-reimbursed travel was terminated. In summary, the high school has tightened its belt as much as it can. It cannot compete in 1970 on a 1958 tax rate. Q. -What is our present ed­ ucational tax rate? A. -The present rate is 92 cents per $100 of assessedval- uation. It is lower than near­ ly all districts in the state and in our area. Palatine, $1.58; Crystal Lake, 1.37; Barrington, 1.32; Libertyville, 1.27; Mun- delein, 1.20; Fox Lake, 1.17; Zion Benton, 1.16; Lake Zur­ ich, 1.16; Richmond, 1.05; Mc­ Henry, .92. Q. -Is any of this proposed rate increase to be used for buildings? A. -No. State law regulates that money in the educational fund must be spent for books, salaries, and educational sup­ plies. This is the board's proposed solution: The last time the voters in the high ^school district ap­ proved a rate increase was in 1958. The present rate is 92 cents per $100 of assessed val­ uation. It is impossible to find a high school with the size and growth record of McHenry that is not facing severe finan­ cial problems. McHenry is asking the voters to approve a rate increase of 40 cents per $100 assessed val­ uation. This would raise the educational rate to $1.32, which still compares very favorably with high schools in the area. The needs of the district are critical. Considering the al­ ready existing deficit, contin­ ued rising costs, and the losses resulting from personal property, the rate increase is absolutely necessary if we are not going to seriously hurt our schools, children and commun­ ity. What will it cost? On a home with a tax bill of $600 the av­ erage increase would be $48 per year, or 8 per cent. Al­ though the total tax bill var­ ies from community to com­ munity in the high school dis­ trict, the average increase will be 8 per cent. To determine your share of the increase mul­ tiply your latest tax bill by .08.

Brown stated he was travel­ ing on the roadway at approx­ imately 50 m.p.h. and didn't know what had happened. He said he struck the tree and his car came to rest in the drive­ way at 110 Bay road. Officers noted that Brown's vehicle ran off the roadway, continued a- cross a driveway at 108 Bay road, struck a mail box and con­ tinued 69 feet before striking a tree on the right side. Dale M. Pitts of 1811 Wood- lawn Park, McHenry was blamed by county police for fail­ ure to report an accident af­ ter his car left the roadway Saturday evening about 10:30. The accident occurred at 1711 Woodlawn Park road, one-half mile east of McHenry. Pitts said he was driving toward home when he ran off the road and struck a pole. He said the car windows were fogged so he was traveling only about 10 m.p.h. The accident was reported to McHenry police at 12:45 a.m. by David W. Shackleford of Won­ der Lake, who came upon the mishap. Deputies noted that the water in the ditch where the car was found was frozen solid. James C. Colby of 6810Ram­ ble road, Wonder Lake, was ticketed for no valid driver's license (expired more than 6 months), after an accident Thursday morning about 9:45 at the intersection of Routes 14 and 47, one mile southwest of Woodstock. Colby said that he was east- bound on Route 14 and stopped at the red light. He had the signal operating to make a left turn when the light changed and he proceeded into the in­ tersection. The next thing he remembers, his car slid side­ ways. The other driver, Frank A. Flick, of 829 Roosevelt, Woodstock, stated he was west­ bound on Route 14. As he ap­ proached the lights, he noted that Colby was stopped at the light, then saw his car turn into the intersection. Flick sounded his horn but the two cars collided. Keith R. Peters of 7220 W. Trey road, and Sandra L. May- field of 5005 W. Orchard road, both of McHenry, were serious­ ly injured in an auto accident Saturday morning about 4 o'­ clock on Route 120 just east of Martin road, one-half mile west of McHenry. Peters said he was west-bound on the highway travelling about 45 m.p.h. when an east-bound vehicle crossed the center line and forced him into the south ditch. Heinz Rey- mann of 8901 Highland drive, Wonder Lake, was driving by the scene when he noticed the accident. He took the two in­ jured persons to the McHen­ ry Police department, after which they were transported to McHenry hospital by Officer John Davis. Deputies noted no skid marks could be found and there was no other physical evidence at the scene. MUSIN N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) But we found more than wild­ life in this very lovely resi­ dential spot. We found people who were living wildly, expres­ sed in piles of rusted cans which poked their ugly heads for general view after the snow had melted; also in two huge bedspreads tied and thrown to the wind, plus numerous mis­ cellaneous items which do as much as anything we can im­ agine to desecrate unspoiled land which becomes increasing­ ly more important to everyone as the amount dwindles.

A director from the city of McHenry would be welcome, to assist Gary in this repre­ sentation. The society receives many inquiries from out of state for genealogical information on families who were formerly residents of McHenry county. The 1885 McHenry County His­ tory and the 1877 County Di­ rectory list some of these fam­ ilies, but others must be re­ searched from records in the county courthouse. This takes many hours, and the society does not have enough volun­ teers to perform this service. Anyone who is interested in tracing genealogies should call the president of the McHenry County Historical society, D.W. McEachren at Woodstock. Some of the recent inquiries requested information on fami­ lies named Richardson, Bedeor Bedee, Wellington, Peris P. Brown, Caroline Ross Brown, Reuben Wager, Holcomb, Swartout and Nettleton. Another inquiry was from an author who is writing a book about wind­ mills. The author wished in­ formation about a D. Hartman, who made windmills in Wood­ stock. So far, no oldtimers quest­ ioned can recall that wind­ mills were ever made in Mc­ Henry county. Perhaps someone reading this will have infor­ mation about the windmills or the families mentioned. County residents should also be aware that as dairy farming becomes less prevalent in the county, old dairy equipment articles become more valuable histori­ cally, and the society welcomes donations of such articles. Recent donations to the so­ ciety from Melvin and Edwin Belcher include some items that had been in the store they recently closed. Their uncles started the store in 1905. They include high travelling step lad­ ders used to reach top shel­ ves in shoe and hardware stores, milk strainers, an old portable phonograph and parts for a buck saw. Among the i- tems left to the society by Lura Wandrack are some old time photographs of scenes and stage groups, which the society would like help in identifying. Last week, someone residing on the Fox river channel heard the cries of an animal in dis­ tress. Looking out, she found a dog that had apparently brok­ en through the ice, not far from shore, and was unable to get a footing. So frightened was the ani­ mal that it ignored her pleas to swim ashore, but instead, continued farther into the water until it disappeared beneath the surface and drowned. There are close calls every year as the ice begins to break up on the river, and sometimes they are children who are in danger. A bit of vigilance for the next few weeks ^jnight well save a life.

He said 40,000 of the returnees will be seeking jobs and 20,000 are ex­ pected to return to school. Not only do these men and women deserve our utmost support, he pointed out, but "our own e- conomic self-interest is in­ volved in tapping the skills, the discipline and the youthful drive of these veterans."
