It included information concerning the proposed development of the Freund property, north of MeHenry, and answers to the scbooTs request for cash and laod donation commitments. According to the ad­ ministration, survey figures of th§ firm, when analyzed, result in Marge discrepancies. It was the opinion cf the educators thfct residential areas are usually developed before commercial use. This, they foresee, creates a problem tffiich will not be answered by information disclosed in the survey. in order that the new home uijder construction by the building trades class will be completed for public in­ spection, carpeting was or­ dered . The Tidy Rug bid in the amount cf $1,285 was accepted for a sculptured acrylic carpet. Although the bid was not the lowest received, the quality was the type desired. -A resolution was passed, aSking that the McHenry cgunty Board cf Review take necessary steps to dispose of trie assessment protests now on fi|e. Supt. Swantz said he had sgoken with Supervisor Ed- >Mprd Buss, who told him the riSatter would have to await the njeeting of the new county beard. Buss added that it will be impossible to obtain taxes ffr several months. 'Formal adoption was made d a pre-approved resolution filed with the county Board of Review, also a letter by area school superintendents as a joint opposition to tax objection costs created through the assessment problem in Algonquin township. It is estimated that the first tax moneys might arrive as late as December, which could cost District 156 $26,000 in interest and place it at, or near, the maximum warrants.

BULL VALLEY ASSOCIATION MAKES PROTEST (Continued from page 1) future of this county". The association president added that an analysis of the plan forces the board to con­ clude that K-C city "becomes nothing more than a high density housing development". Sharpe said there are 225 acres to be set aside for 200 1V8 acre homesites and the board estimated that would provide for 1,000 peopl^. "Right now'\ he continued, "the lVs acre lot is' not legally acceptable in much of Bull Valley and we do not welcome efforts to rezone more land below 3 to 5 acres. Allowing 30 more acres for a shopping center, 60 acres for a golf course and 20 acres for ponds, bridle paths, recreational areas and a passible railroad station, there will be 190 acres left to house the remaining 19,000 people - all of this in an area that right now has a ratio cf far less than l person to an acre and where the zoning plan calls for no more than one family on 3 to 5 acres." The association said that once the initial shock and anger wears off, it intends to harness the considerable human resources at hand to resist this planned development - "not as an act which blindly resists change or progress -but one which is motivated by plain common sense". CANCER CRUSADE GIVES MESSAGE (Continued from page 1) cancer victims is curable but because of the lack of in­ formation, the lack of un­ derstanding of the need for periodic check-ups, only one out of three will be cured. The year's pamphlet, "Take Time Out for Life", stresses the need for a Pap test to detect uterine cancer. Last year 13,000 American women died of uterine cancer, many of them needlessly. The Pap test can detect uterine cancer before its symptoms appear, when it is most curable. "With the federal govern­ ment making cancer a national priority, we must all put forth the added effort to make the search for the 'Cause and the Cure for Cancer' a reality," added Mr. Peterson. "We want to wipe out cancer in your lifetime", is the goal of the American Cancer society. MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) doubled on Illinois tollways this year, and so has the number of persons arrested for hit­ chhiking, which is illegal throughout the toll way right-of- way. One noteworthy aspect of last year's hitchhiking picture is that nearly half of them (and of those arrested) were girls, compared to only a few during previous years. A second fact is that the number of youngsters picked up for hitchhiking and found to be running away from home was about 70 percent greater than the previous year. Other major tollways also reported substantial increases. State police tell us it's both illegal and dangerous to stop on the tollway to pick up these "thumbers".
