PAGE 18-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 9. 1973 MUSIN" N* MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) This year Republican leaders said they found little interest among party members in becoming candidates. For this reason they decided to have a closed caucus, eliminating the necessity of a ballot vote. In an open caucus, registered voters affiliated with that party may participate in it. They must sign an affidavit to that effect before they may vote. However, by calling a closed caucus, only precinct com­ mitteemen vote on candidates to select nominees. This procedure does not prevent a party member from becoming a nominee; it only prevents him and all others who are not committeemen to cast a vote. The preliminaries are over. Now comes the big push in preparation for the spring election. McHenry has lost some fine citizens in recent months. Certainly high among them was Harold "Red" Hobbs, who died last weekend. Often we saw a stern look he felt necessary to his duties as police chief. But it was#>only used to camouflage a smile long to be remembered - the reflection of a warm heart. K.A.F. Reveal $2,300 Loss In Theft At City Home Investigation by the McHenry Police department into the Jan. 28 burglary of the Vaupell home at 3403 W. Fairway drive, McHenrya revealed that merchandise valued at about $2,300 was taken from the premises. Inventory was taken after H.H. Vaupell returned from Florida where he was vacationing. The following items were reported missing: International Sterling silver service for ten along with a chest, a meat carving set, Poloroid camera and case, clock radio, console tape recorder, electric clock, slide projector, man's suitcase and $63 in cash. Also, the home was completely ransacked and vandalized. The offenders were ap­ parently interrupted during the theft because a television set was found by officers in the driveway of the residence when they arrived to investigate the burglary. MCHENRY HOSPITAL Patients admitted to McHenry hospital included Joseph McLaughlin, Wonder Lake; Lillian Budish, Dolores Bischoff, William Clardy, George Mergili, Sr., Frances Turnball, McHenry; and Ruby Shepard, Ringwood. MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WOODSTOCK Patients admitted to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, included Baby John Fischer, Lynette Dorris, Mary Hogen, Wonder Lake; Norma Simon, McHenry. AID OFFICE CLOSED The State of Illinois Department of Public Aid, 225 W. Judd street, Woodstock, will be closed Monday, Feb. 12, and Monday, Feb. 19. JUDGE CARROLL ON HIS NIGHT (Continued from page 1) The dinner was sponsored by the McHenry County Bar association, implementing the public affection and esteem with which he is held. Toast- master John Looze of McHenry, between frequent witticisms, had a serious moment as he praised Judge Carroll for doing "a tremen­ dously outstanding job." A portrait gallery has been established in the courthouse where portraits of Circuit judges from McHenry county will be hung. Walter Dean, also of McHenry and chairman of the McHenry county board, announced plans f^r this gallery at the same time he read a resolution of tribute from county board members. The Bar association com­ missioned a portrait to recognize Judge Carroll, and it will be the first hung in the new gallery. Jim Hecht, member of the comhiittee, announced plans for the portrait; then with the assistance of Norm Pollock, Marengo,, he unveiled the handsome likeness of Judge Carroll. Speaking for the McHenry County Bar association, Michael Caldwell, president, presented a resolution adopted by the Bar association, and he observed that Judge Carroll "has served long and well" and "with the highest degree of dedication, fidelity and in­ tegrity." Many of his Appellate court decisions are outstanding examples of his clarity of thinking and fairness, said Caldwe|l. They exemplify his reputation as "a great judge, a fair judge." Judge Carroll climaxed the evening, putting into force once again that tremendous speaking ability and command of an audience. In good humor, and with frequent touches of nostalgia and sentiment, Judge Carroll recalled that "it all began in Hrrtland." He said that he appreciated the oc­ casion-"! appreciate your honors and your friendship." Poking fun at himself and the many words of praise throughout the night, Judge Carroll observed that he heard many exaggerated things said about himself, "but who would be the fool not to enjoy it!" Concluded the judge, as he referred to his tenure of service in the old courthouse on Woodstock's city square: "I'll miss that winding stairway in the courthouse!" Contentment makes a poor man rich, and discontent makes a rich man poor. PARKING LOT PURCHASE LEFT UNRESOLVED (Continued from page 1) City Attorney Looze to handle the parking lot matter since he also represents Mr. Edgar. Bolger felt this was the time to consider getting someone else to handle the parking lot negotiations as well as other matters that will be coming up. He suggested that the Council obtain a skilled negotiator for these duties. Mayor Doherty expressed his approval of the idea and felt sure Looze would appreciate it since he had mentioned this himself at a previous meeting. Bids were opened on the three water main crossings on Route 120, west of the tracks. Two bids were received, one from Lakeland Construction for $37,727 with a 50-day com­ pletion date and the second from Kuch and Ingram for $41,396 with a 90-day com­ pletion date. Specifically, the cost of each crossing was as follows: Lakeland -- Meadow lane, $8,190; Beach drive, $8,670 and Industrial drive and its con­ nection with Front Royal drive, $20,867. Kuch and Ingram - Meadow lane, $9,085.20; Beach drive, $22,736.00 and Industrial drive and its con­ nection with Front Royal drive, $9,575.60. Since there was such a large discrepancy in several of the crossing figures, the Council moved to delay action on the bids until the next regular meeting. In the meantime, the bids will be referred to the city engineer, who will check out the figures. In connection with the Lakeland Park sewer project, the Council was asked for its approval to "open cut" Route 120 for two days and one night at Ramble road. Using the open cut method instead of augering or mining under the highway would save approximately $7,000. In light of the savings involved, the Council gave its approval. The Council heard a report Tidy does it again by ordering over 100 rolls of carpet (all with attached high-density foam pad) for this special sale. ts KITCHEN PRINTS 12 luxurious, wear-resistant patterns and colors Regularly *7.95 sq.yd.

The test location is in the undedicated portion of the park in Lakeland Shore subdivision. One water bearing formation was found at 34 to 49 feet and another at 74 to 95 feet. Analysis showed that the shallow test hole met the recommendation of 700 gallons in two minutes. If another well was drilled at the deeper location, the engineer said he could guarantee 1,000 gallons per minute. _ The engineer estimated the cost of the shallower well at $13,000. This would include engineering, drilling and casings. He suggested that the well be completed before this summer because the city is in need of water. Bolger commented that he could not see what good it would do to drill this well im­ mediately if it won't be ready for use this summer because the treatment plant cannot be completed by that time. It was noted that the city must acquire, title to the property and it , must be dedicated to thd^city before any further action can be taken. The city attorney was authorized to proceed with the necessary steps. The Council therefore moved to delay further action until next meeting. Wolfgang Langheinrich of Baxter and Woodman, engineers for the city, told the Council that the first 150 feet of the 11 miles of the Lakeland Park Sewer project had been laid in the ground successfully as of Monday. "It wasn't any better or any worse than we expected," he remarked. In other business, the matter of the tree traffic lights was discussed. Stanek said that since four firm commitments had been received promising participation for the light at Industrial drive, he felt it was time to take action. Rakow Engineering informed mem­ bers that if that firm should be hired to undertake the job of engineering for traffic lights at Industrial drive and Meadow lane, it would give a free estimate on where to put the pipes under the tracks for the light at Crystal Lake road. The Council moved to proceed with obtaining engineering costs from Rakow. Attorney Looze told the Council that due to a delay, vouchers for the special assessment fees will not be sent out until after the first of March. At a previous meeting, it was estimated the bills would be out by the second week of February. TRUCK DRIVER IS BLAMED FOR 3-CAR CRASH r (Continued from page 1) he pulled out of the lot. Bonnie M. Reiche of Route 1, Trevor, Wis., was cited for failure to yield after she drove her car out of the Admiral corporation parking lot and hit another car driven by Grace E.

Clover, McHenry, was west-bound on Elm street in the left lane of traffic when her car was struck in the right front by another vehicle. Driver of that vehicle, Jack W.

She then hit the rear of the Lally auto which was stopped waiting for the light to change. Ms. Moran stated the bus had just left a garage where the brakes had been repaired. Icy roads Tuesday caused an accident near Worider Lake involving a car driven by Diane Wilson of 8511 W. tCoral. Wonder Lake. Five-year-old David Wilson was a passenger. Mrs. Wilson told deputies she was driving on Rt. 120, between 25 and 30 miles per hour, at 12:15 p.m. when the car came to an icy spot, went out of control and struck a tree. Both occupariTs were taken to McHenry hospital by the Wonder Lake Rescue squad. RESCUE THE SQUAD The McHenry Area Rescue squad responded to thirty-five calls during the month of January.

Robert Decker, past scout­ master, then presented the coveted Eagle awards. The program continued with presentation of the American Legion award given by Cecil Barrett, commander of the McHenry County council, and Lou Rossberg, commando* of Post 491,» McHenry. Robert Wienke, chairman of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Woodstock . Lodge No. 1043, then presented an award for outstanding citizenship. John Cunat entered the scouting program at the age of 11, and under determined and dedicated leadership advanced through the ranks. In 1969 he attended SCHIFF Leadership training camp in New Jersey . and gave a pledge to his troop to render one full year's ser­ vice, thereby passing on the training he received to younger Scouts. The summers of 1971 and '72 John spent as a camp-counselor at the Northwoods Boy Scout reservation, Watersmeet, Mich. As an aftermath of an ac­ cident and serious personal loss, John chose as his con­ tribution to the community, to speak to elementary school children in the area about the dangers of experimenting with matches and explosives. He felt that because of his age, he could better convey this message than an adult might do. At present, John serves as assistant scoutmaster in Troop 162. He plans to continue in the scouting program, rendering leadership and assistance wherever possible. S u n d a y ' s m e m o r a b l e program began with a welcome and presentation of the flag, with Brian Fetzer, senior patrol leader, in charge.
