E PROPERTY ST OF RIVER R DEVELOPMENT (Continued from page 1) Another inquiry made was developing a large sidential area with other lassifications limited. School fficials immediately perked p their ears on this plan since ey would be faced with ad- itional educational problems. It was explained to the laindealer that plans are still omewhat vague and an im- ediate answer could not be iven to questions on proposed developments. At best it would take considerable time to evaluate the proposed plans. City officials have shown in­ terest in preliminary plans discussed, but state that many steps would be necessary in finalizing any agreement on a project of such magnitude. It was also learned by the Plaindealer that the Mavor and City Council must proceed with caution until expected "HUD" federal grant for sewer service expansion is received. Recognizing the great need for assistance to local residents in time of emergencies, the McHenry City Council voted at the meeting Monday night to assist the McHenry Rescue squad with a $1,000 con­ tribution. At the same time a $500 contribution to the Johnsburg Rescue squad was also unanimously approved. Reports from Police Chief Espey indicate that the Johnsburg squad has been a life saver through cooperation when need was urgent. There was an indication that further assistance on the part of the city may be in order at a future date. ' Following presentation of plans for a new brochure of information on McHenry at a recent meeting, the Council voted to participate in the cost in the amount of $500./The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce will prepare the brochure at an estimated cost of $1,200. The City Council stipulated that the final draft be presented before going to print. This will give Council members an opportunity to make changes or possible additions. William R. North presented the annual audit of city finances Monday night and will return to a future meeting to answer questions. This report covered the General Fund, the Water and Sewer account having been presented at a previous meeting. To sum it up, McHenry's financial position has been maintained at a sound level, all obligations being met as they are due. VANDALISM IN AREA UNDER INVESTIGATION (Continued from page 1) Monday afternoon, Mrs. Robert Mailfold of 1203 Draper road, McHenry, told deputies that hunters on their property discovered a large walnut tree on their property had been cut down. Evidence indicated a chain saw had been used to fell the tree in an apparent attempt to steal it. The owners reported a similar experience several weeks ago when another walnut tree was cut and the log was loaded into a vehicle and hauled away. « While deputites were making a routine check of Hilltop school at 2615 W. Lincoln road; McHenry, Monday morning about 5:30, they discovered a rear window had been broken by a rock which was found inside the building. A check of the building, made with a custodian, revealed the school had not been entered. 362 ENROLLED IN DISTRICT 156 ADULT EDUCATION COURSE (Continued from page 1) cepted for lumber for the house to be constructed by the West campus building trades students. Action on the purchase of a three-quarter toto, 4-wheel drive pick-tp truck was post­ poned pending further study on the needs of the district. After much discussion on the usage of a trash compactor, the board sent the matter to the Building committee for further investigation. When someone noted that there were twenty garbage cans in use at East campus alone, one board member observed that the weight would be the same even though the garbage could be packed away in two of the new type compactors. He asked who would be able to lift one of them. Member Clint Claypool brought up the subject of a high loss of library books at West campus, reported at the last informative meeting. A new system now in operation was described as more efficient, and administrators believe the loss will be cut substantially through its use. It was noted that there was only about 50 per cent of the East campus library budget used last year, whereas the West campus budget was over- expended. This was explained due to the fact that there was only a part time librarian at East campus who was un­ certain of the books which should be ordered. This year both campuses have full time librarians. ICA URGES ACTION ASKING DEVELOPER'S SCHOOL TAX AID (Continued from page 1) Crystal Lake, as well as the general public. Since then, last year's ICA president, Anthony Wujcik, has been elected mayor of Crystal Lake. "We hope that other school districts in McHenry county will realize that the time to act is now before growth over­ whelms their districts," Sass continued. "In an attempt to explain what local school boards and city councils can do to promote developer donations, the ICA will be happy to provide speakers for PTA, community club, subdivision, civic and service organizations upon request. Representatives will be happy to appear before local governmental bodies, as well." Herb Sass, ICA president, may be contacted at 4402 Ashley, McHenry. In Crystal Lake, ICA treasurer Jim Huemann, 659 Elsinoor, may be contacted. HANAHAN SUIT PROTECTS TOO oc MANY ELECTIONS (Continued from page 1) McHenry county and $6 million state-wide." Vernon Kays, Republican of Woodstock, has been named defendant in the suit by virtue of his office as McHenry County Clerk and conductor of ^elec­ tions in the county. / "Tliere is no reason why these elections cannot be combined," Hanahan declared. "As it now stands, we have so many that the voters won't know which is which. The result is, tfiey won't come out to vote!" The February county board election as now scheduled will be followed by six mWe and end with the general election next- November. Each election costs the county approximately $40,000. The bill which proposed a change in the election dates to coincide with the regulaf election, is House Bill 285. Hanahan pointed out that while this bill passed the House in June by 126 to 12, it is currently being held in the Senate on postponed consideration. He also stated that the date change appeal was taken directly to the office of Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie last week, but the issue was turned down. And, a motion to have the bill reconsidered was defeated by Republican opposition. "I am filing this suit as a last resort and placing the matter in the hands of the court. I hope for a favorable decision for the benefit of McHenry county taxpayers," Hanahan stated. "A portion of the $200,000 could be saved by combining the election dates. In addition, these elections will cause tremendous problems in registering voters as the registration office is closed 30 days prior to every election," declared Hanahan. Continuing, he said, "It will also force counties using voting machines to either purchase duplicate voting machines or seek some other method for holding the elections. This is caused by the law requiring voting machines to be locked for thirty days after an elec­ tion." By 1974, every Illinois county over 40,000 in population - including McHenry county - must have some type of voting machine in use. "McHenry County's cost for the machines is "roughly" estimated at $9,000. Hanahan's complaint in the lawsuit alleges that voters do not have equal opportunity to take part in the election process and that the election law provides that voter registration is to be closed 28 days prior to an election. But, because of the county board primary, it declares, registration will be closed Jan. 11, 1972, more than 28 days prior to the primary election. It also says that McHenry county voters will be prevented from registering the times when registration is permitted to voters in Cook and other counties not under township organization. This means, according to the complaint, that registration will be closed to qualified voters for almost a three-month period. Hanahan is requesting the courts to declare that the state laws are unconstitutional as far as the county board election dates are concerned, and that the county be stopped from holding its county board primary Feb. 8 and its general election April 4. MARCH OF DIMES HOLDS KICK-OFF (Continued from page 1) years; Judy Hanson, her second year as Huntley chairman; Walter Johnson, Marengo; Albert Vales, McHenry; Ray Anderson, third year as Richmond chairman; Pat Dusthimer, her second year as Wonder Lake chair­ man; -- Gertrude Korst of' Woodstock; Mrs. Donna Van Fleet, Lake-in-the-Hills; and last but not least, Mike Yerke of Union, who has been with the March of Dimes since the chapter was founded in 1939. The leadership team will call community attention to the fact that after centuries of neglect, a massive assault is being directed toward the prevention and treatment of birth defects. Every year, these tragedies strike at an estimated quarter of a million American babies. To overcome these sobering statistics, the March of Dimes carries on intensive programs throughout the year in research, patient care, professional education and community service. Money collected during the annual January appeal is a major source of support for the March of Dimes activities. The McHenry county chapter recently held its annual meeting at the Crystal Lake Country club. Attending were the officers and represen­ tatives from each community. An award was presented to the Crystal Lake Fire department for the time donated by them at the annual teen dance. Also recognized at the meeting were Robert Denny, Crystal Lake, and Mrs. Angela Burden, Woodstock, teen advisors for the county. MUSIN1 N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) regular basis. At least something new emerged from the 1970 vote in the way of a Constitution. In 1972 it looks like we'll be mostly viewing an interminable list of faces we've been seeing for a long time. And unless they surprise us, we'll be hearing most of the same promises we've been listening to for lo these many years. Our conclusion is that politicians are a particular breed which come in an assortment of sizes and ap­ pearance, but with certain inescapable characteristics. Not the least of these is sufficient intestinal fortitude to accept the indignities of a dissatisfied voting public and come up smiling. To this quality we doff our hat --it ain't easy! K.A.F. NAME 49 NEW STATE SCHOLARS I (Continued from page 1) year, 58,000 undergraduate students are being assisted with $39,400,000 in monetary awards at the 135 Illinois public and private colleges and universities. BENEFIT FROM HOLIDAY PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) nights -- Saturday and Sunday evenings. Dec. 4-5, at 8:15 p.m. both nights. "The time for the program nears. so this doesn't leave us many days to distribute and sell tickets," says Lambourn. However, many people have offered to serve as "ticket centers " Since all proceeds from tickets sold by the people helping the Association for the Retarded, Lambourn hopes citizens will "motivate themselves" to seek tickets. Tickets can be obtained at the Pioneer center, in McHenry from Mrs. Elmer Stange or Mrs Lewis J. Pitzen. Fireman Ejects Gas From Home Fire Chief Glenn Peterson used a smoke ejector to remove gas from the William Peterson home, 5116 N. Beacon Hill drive, late Wednesday evening.

Donald Ryniecki an­ nounced at the Montini Catholic school board meeting Nov. 9, that the first full day of at­ tendance for seventh and eighth graders at Montini Middle school this semester proceeded very smoothly. A morning assembly was held, at which time the students were given rules and regulations regarding the newly formed student council which will go into effect soon. An election of officers will take place in the near future. A pep rally was also held at the assembly which stimulated fine school spirit. It was the first time in four years that the entire student body was assembled. The administrator reported that associations, companies and parents have donated equipment for the new science program being inaugurated this quarter. Small items are still needed and any person or organization interested in helping*, should contact the Middle school. A chemical company has donated approximately $1,100 worth of glassware such as test tubes, beakers, etc., as well as lab tables and sinks. These tables should be available for installation by the beginning of tempting to remove ice from ^ y, the next semester. A micro refrigerator, using a sharp instrument which pierced the coils and released the gas. Earlier the same evening, Company I hurried to the Or chard Beach community house to extinguish a fire. It started from an incinerator blaze near the building. Several grass fires occupied members of all three com­ panies during the past week. McHenry Woman Hurt In Car-Truck Accident Thursday Paula Campbell of 2607 N. Orchard Beach road sustained minor injuries when the car she was driving was struck in the rear by a truck early Thursday morning. She was taken to McHenry hospital for x-rays. The Campbell auto was proceeding west on Elm street and stopped when the light turned from green to yellow as she neared the intersection with Front street. The truck, driven by Bernard Grupe of Cary, said he saw the light change also and applied the brakes but his truck slid on the wet pavement. Grupe was charged with failure to reduce speed and will appear in branch court Dec. 1. The accident occurred at 7:59 a.m. Some people have dynamic personalities, while others simply explode.

This instrument will take the place of individual microscopes for the present time. President Eckstein asked Sister Paulina and her staff at the Primary center to prepare a program regarding the curriculum and method of teaching at this school. Mrs. Joyce Toepper, a teacher in the Primary center, said the staff had visited many schools and studied many methods before setting up the present program. "We have so much more to offer than any other school in this area", she said. "Our curriculum is so much better in what we have and in the way we present it." Sister Paulina explained, "We try to set up an at­ mosphere for growth. We try to put individual emphasis on the individual student. President Eckstein noted that Montini Catholic school is the largest Catholic elementary school in the Rockford diocese, which covers several counties. "Every day we find the school is continually improving". "To keep this up", he sated, we need the interest of the people and to get their interest, we must keep them informed." A presentation will be made by the Primary center staff at a later meeting. A candy sale is now being conducted by Middle school children to help establish funds for use in the science depart­ ment. Supt. Ryniecki attended a Rockford diocesan ad­ ministrators' conference in Rockford recently, where the future of education in the diocese was discussed. The conference stressed the realization that Catholic education in the Rockford diocese has a very definite future. This group of ad­ ministrators will meet again in January to continue their studies. The Montini Parents association was commended for the orderly and neat way the Halloween candy apple sale was conducted at the schools. In other business, open house at the Middle school was set for Thursday evening, Dec. 9, from 8:30 to 10:15 p.m. A parent will be able to follow his child's schedule and see each teacher in the system. The teachers will present an explanation of their curriculum and tell the goals for each subject. No children will be in attendance. Sr. Paulina, principal of the Primary center, reported that this building will hold open house sometime in the spring. A discussion was held as to the number of persons who have keys to gain access to the school building after hours. Dr. Eckstein was appointed to contact St. Mary's parish and take the matter under ad­ visement to determine a method by which keys to the building could be controlled. Sister Lenora and Sister Celine of the Sisters of St. Francis order were scheduled to visit the school buildings Nov. 17 to make an inspection. A question arose as to why chocolate milk was available to students only on special oc­ casions. It was noted that the milk comes through the public school facilities and reim­ bursement from the govern­ ment is the same for chocolate and white milk. However, chocolate milk is more ex­ pensive. Therefore it is only served on special occasions during the school year. •> The board moved to reim­ burse the adrmnistrative staff for out of town l^eetings at the rate of 10 cents p^mile. Supt. Ryniecki proudly an­ nounced that Brian O'Neill, an eighth grade student at Mon­ tini, was awarded first place at the annual mathematics contest held at Carmel High School for Boys in Mundelein recently. Over seventy schools from,, Lake and McHenry counties participated in the event. The three-man team which represented Montini at the contest consisted of Brian CPNeill, Danny Knox and Patrick Hiller. Ryniecki commented that this first place award was a great credit to the Montini mathematics department, which is supervised by Sister Vera Marie. The next monthly meeting was scheduled for Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. in St. Patrick's church hall.
