/ School In $335,000 TAW Sale At Tuesday evening's meeting of the board of Con­ solidated School District 15, the board accepted the bid of McHenry State bank to pur­ chase $300,000 in 1971 tax an­ ticipation warrants for the Education fund and $35,000 for the Building fund. This was the only bid made. Payment terms of the bid were as follows: One to 90-day maturity, 4V8 per cent per annum; 91st day to 150th day, per cent ; 151st to 210th day, 4% per cent and 211th day or longer, 4'/2 per cent per annuih. The new warrants make the total issued against 1971 taxes $700,000 in the Education fund. $135,000 in the Building fund, and $45,000, Illinois Municipal Retirement fund. It was noted that the new sale brings the district's figure to near the legal maximum. A financial summary of the cafeteria program was m$de to the board, reflecting the need for the five cent increase in lunch cost to become effective with the start of the fall term. The summary listed a deficit in the 1971-72 school year operation of $6,913.27. The bid of Keystone Laundry Machinery Co. in the amount of $3,740 for equipment to establish a laundry in McHenry Junior high school was ap­ proved. A lower bid failed to meet specifications. The board expects to be able to pay off the indebtedness over a three-year period and will allow the school to provide towel service, without in­ creasing fees. It was noted that the present fee of $3.50 would (Continued on page 15) FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1972 16 PAGES TEN CENTS _ - ----r --: xzy-- Landfill Continues As County Board Problem THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION - ̂ INCE 1875 VOLUME 96 NUMBER 100 SOLAR ECLIPSE - This to the way Monday afternoon's solar eclipse looked to the photographer who snapped this view at its apex on Riverside drive.

SHOT & SHUTTER PHOTO Arrest McHenry Man For KSPiiPBWI Damage To Auto, House Memories - nostalgic, funny, serious - all of them returned in different ways to individual members of the MCHS class of 1947 attending their twenty- fifth reunion at the Legion uome last Saturday night. They were the teen-agers of the po6t-war era, and a good class. As Lois Weideman Downs read the class prophecy ' Jhe wrote twenty-five years ' igo, evttmt that times have changed greatly. None of the new kind of sophistication in 1947, and there wasn't a member of the class who wasn't aware of that change. An accordion player set toes tapping with favorites of another day. Since everyone learned them during their impressionable years, in a less hectic time, most of the melodies came to mind readily. A very attractive photo of East campus (at that time known just as the high school) appeared on the front page of the programs. There was no doubt - the class artist, Lori Larson Wilhelm, had made the drawing. And it was a natural for Barbara Freund Gilpin to take over the duties of mistress of ceremonies - natural and expertly carried out. Reunions have a special placs in life^today, and for the most part they are attended with a true appreciation of the fact that classes of recent years will never know the same closeness because of their size. Good times come with all ages. One of the best times along about middle life is a class reunion! Edward Niemann, 37, of 320 Glenwood drive, McHenry, was arrested Sunday evening by sheriff's policy and charged with reckless cwiduct, criminal damage to property and unlawful use of weapons. Bond was set.? at $3,000 with his scheduled court appearance set for July 20. The charges arose after Alvina Wheeler of Lilymoor ^reported that the front windows of her parked auto had been shot out. Deputies discovered that a bullet hole was found in both front windows and one bullet had continued on to lodge in the siding of the home. Investigation revealed that Tiemann had been a guest at the home of George Stein- sdoerfer, 1015 Rand road, Lilymoor, Sunday evening. Tiemann, Steinsdoerfer and others including James Steinsdoerfer of 425 Elaine Terrace, McHenry, had all been seated in the yard when a (Continued on page 15) Not all heroism involving servicemen occurs on the battle field. Take, for instance, Kenneth Spears, son of Mrs. Rita Walter of 207 N. Green street. The young man is stationed at Whiting field, Naval air station, Pensacola, Fla. While fishing in Escandia Bay, on a railroad trestle, he noted three boys, 8 to 10 years old, in the pursuit of the same hobby a short distance away. Suddenly the force of the hurricane winds blew 85 miles an hour strong. Spears hurried to the boys and brought them to the safety of shore. Burglars Second "s R eturn For eft In Home A mobile home owned by Richard Scholfield of Park Ridge, which was parked in the 6500 block of Wilmot road, McHenry, was burglarized last week. When the owner arrived at the home July 5, they found entry had been made by ripping off the front door. A refrigerator and a new electric motor were missing. A stove had been moved near the front door as though someone had planned to remove it as well. Scholfield locked the door and left the property. When he returned the next day, he found that the house had been entered again and this time the stove was gone. When Glenn Banks of 7428 North street, Wonder Lake, arrived home from vacation last week, he found that three tires had been removed from pnauto which was parked in his drjVeway. Further in­ vestigation revealed that his home had been entered through a kitchen window. The home appeared to be thoroughly ransa6ked, with furniture overturned throughout the premises. A shotgun and four T V. tables were the only items (Continued on page 15) The increasing problems of landfill in McHenry county came in for renewed attention at Tuesday's meeting of the recently elected board. As the Rules and Grievance committee report came before members at the close of a long meeting, Edward Buy of McHenry asked that <&frassion be deferred until Julyi8. Thor Emricson of District 3 added that he felt a letter from the city of Woodstock regarding its landfill problems be read. He expressed his opinion that $25,000 should be allotted in the budget for a further study of the problem of disposing of gar­ bage. Thomas Huemann of McHenry then voiced a feeling that the money would be wasted unless land can be properly zoned to correct the present situation. At this point, Chairman Walter Dean of McHenry informed the board that he and three county of­ ficials had studied four areps for possible landfill use. Member William Ward in­ jected a humorous answer to the problem. He suggested that one area be designated in each of the three districts in the county, noting that board members would vote in favor of the location in the districts in which they did not reside, and„ would reject space in their own district. In this way, he ex­ pounded, the vote would result in space being set aside in all districts. The idea was voiced for purchase of a compressor, but discussion was only brief. Mrs. Linnea T! Hadlock, representing District I, reminded that before any answers are forthcoming, approval must come from the Environmental Protection agency.

Court street, McHenry, last week when pretty Christine Naughton of Australia visited the family. She was one of many American Field Service students from the Minnesota-Wisconsin area who enjoyed a four-day bus stopover in the city enroute to the East Coast and their journey home. Christine, shown with her luggage at West campus shortly after arrival in McHenry, has just met Mrs. Janice Pieroni, second from left, and her three daughters, Pat, Roxane and Mary Jean. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD About forty young people from almost as many countries arrived in McHenry July 5, and the days that followed may well have been called AFS Week in the city. Until their departure Saturday, they captured the hearts of their host families as they made a four-day bus stopover. Festival Water Ski Show The students spent the past year living with families and attending school in the Lakeville, Minn., and Eau Claire, Minn., areas. They were enroute to the East Coast for departure to their respective homes. A full schedule of events was planned, including breakfast at the Country club, hosted by the McHenry State bank. Serving as hostesses and hosts were six representatives, Barb Redetzke, Cindy Bolger, Linda Cairns, Debbie Hester, Edward Saunders and Ralph Nowak. Mayor Donald Doherty welcomed the students to McHenry and acknowledged City Clerk Earl Walsh, who was also present. The mayor spoke to the students on the front lawn of the Country club. The remainder of the day was free. Some host families took their students to Chicago to view the Loop and museums, places these visiting people had never seen. A soccer game was played at the Robert Thornton farm in Bull Valley. A lively contest it was, with some local talent participating. The next day another group went to Chicago and other students swam, golfed, fished, shopped or went water skiing. The highlight of Friday was a picnic held in the city park for the AFS students and their families. At 8 p.m. the en­ tertainment was under way with the "Tide and Tempest", a (Continued on page 15) We couldn't help but be impressed-, by the smooth operation of the recent American Junior Hereford association field day hosted by Northern Pump Farms. This was a national event for which some thousand youths from throughout the count* converged on the McHenr community. It was an occasic for getting to know others with a similar interest and learning more about a subject that is a hobby at the least, and in most cases a business. There were no incidents of malicious mischief, which may indicate that young people with a purpose can gather in large numbers in a productive cause.
