PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1971 Seek School Board Posts Twice To!d Tal es Hold Harvard Milk Day Elimination Contest JAMES R.SHAFFER DOROTHY VICK EDWIN CHOATE, JR. DISTRICT 15 EDWIN CHOATE, JR. Edwin Choate, Jr., who lives with his wife and five sons at 1515 N. Ramble road, McHenry, seeks a three-year term on the Grade School District 15 board.

Choate is the manager of Mays Drug store, McHenry, where he is a registered pharmacist. He feels, "the major problem that we might have to face in the next few years will be overcrowded schools due to increased student enrollment, if population projections are realized." "To meet this problem, it would be easy to say increase taxes and build more schools, but I feel a fuller utilization of existing facilities is a more reasonable answer." DOROTHY VICK Dorothy M. Vick seeks her third term as a board member for Grade School District 15. A 15-year resident of McHenry, Mrs. Vick has taught physical education at the high school level for eight years and has served on the grade school board for the past six years.

Mrs. Vick is a member of the League of Women Voters and of Faith Presbyterian church, McHenry. She feels "there must be a constant effort to provide each PAYMENTS TOO HIGH?

Supporting even the most basic system necessitates huge expenditures. To spend this money without also making necessary considerations for the educational needs of each child would be tragic, for the public will suffer not just the loss of its investment but even more important, its youth." "We can meet these problems through continuous evaluation of our own schools and studies of others. We must define the real needs of our children and establish the priorities necessary to meet them. By working through our state representatives, we must exert pressure for revision of current tax structures for school funding and place a greater responsibility on those more able to pay." Mrs. Vick and her husband, Jack, live at 5206 W. Parkview, McCullom Lake, with their 11- year-old daughter, Linda, and 10-year-old son, Paul. JAMES R.SHAFFER James R. Shaffer of 2948 N.

Shaffer and his wife have three daughters, Pam, a senior at West campus, Debbie a freshman at East campus, and Barb, a fourth grader at Valley View school. He said, "I believe the past boards must be congratulated on remaining within their budgets at a time of increasing enrollment and rising costs. However, we all know there will be fewer dollars available to the district in the future HOWARD WEISS because of the loss of the Personal Property Tax revenue. When this issue was presented to the people, it was implied that the state would compensate for loss of revenue to schools and to date this has not been done. Our immediate problem is there will be less money available while costs will continue to rise." "A temporary solution can be found by curtailing and eliminating expenditures that may be important but not vital to the district and this should be done. A more lasting solution would be to support a change in legislation that would overhaul the out-dated real estate tax support of schools and transfer a greater portion of this burden to an income tax basis." DISTRICT 156 LLOYD G.FREUND Lloyd G: Freund, a lifetime resident of the Johnsburg- McHenry area, is seeking his second term as board member for High School District 156.
