Population growth, which has been so very rapid in the last ten years, has created innumerable problems. There has been encouraging progress undertaken in several areas. Others, such as traffic and parking, remain to be solved. Regardless of our personal feelings, the backing of residents of local school districts cities and villages is beneficial to the community. Constructive criticism is fine-it is necessary. But constant harassment of community leaders only delays progress. Most of us know what needs to be done. The difference of COUNTY BOARD VOTES AGAINST RAISES IN PRESENT BUDGET (Continued from page ij larger percentage of the total budget. Buss noted that everyone wants the budget cut, but no one wants salaries reduced. He pointed to the above figures in questioning where else a cut could be made. the projection continued with a figure of $487,572.03 cash on hand if the county spends in 1973 what is budgeted and if anticipated income for the year is received. However, the net loss in revenue for the year 1974 is expected to be about $618,893 and by Dec. 1,1974, there would be a balance of $131,320. Using'no salary increases, Dec. 1, 1975, would find the county in the red by $750,213. The study listed as alter­ natives: Legislation in Springfield, cutting services; asking the Public Building commission for a gross lease; and deficit budget. The vote followed discussion on the study. Earl Hughes, chairman of the Building commission, James Green, attorney for the group, and Howard Ruth, a member, were present to discuss the possibility of changing the leasing of the courthouse property from a net to a gross lease. Under the net lease, the Building commission assumes responsibility only for the real estate, and the county pays the Commission rental to the retirement of bonds in a ten- year arrangement. Under the gross lease, the Commission would assume responsibility for custodial and all other expenses. It would prove a benefit to the county, which would be able, under this arrangement, to pass a levy for courthouse operation. In commenting on respon­ sibility for the budget, Buss said the "future is bleak" with the loss of $750,000 in collection fees denied by the new con­ stitution. The county gets revenue sharing funds in the amount of about $368,000 a year, but this falls short of the money previously received. Chairman Dean suggested that after June 1, when all bills in the Legislature are enacted, it is possible some of those now in the hopper will help the county. He particularly referred to the ten cent tax levy for county general purposes. Norman C^afetz presented a transportation plan which evolved from a study made at Northwestern university for several railroad companies that wish to halt commuter service. It was his opinion the plan would be beneficial to the county. It was the opinion of James R. Rakow, county superin­ tendent of highways, that the program would be costly to the county without providing much benefit. Editor's Quote Book "Every noble activi ty makes room for i tself ." -- Ralph IValdo Emerson opinion usually lies in methods of procedure. When the votes were counted Saturday and Tuesday night, we became duty bound, as good citizens, to support the majority choices. Whatever we felt about the candidates as individuals, we must admit that several long time officials are leaving their posts after serving their con­ stituents well. They were dedicated men who gave much more than was required in time and talent in the interest of the betterment of their community. Now we have new men in offices of leadership. Their enthusiasm is heartening. Our cooperation will help greatly to realize their dreams of ac­ complishment. K.A.F. i THINK ABOUT IT! By BOB JUSTEN C Centuries ago, some grief stricken women walked toward a tomb with heavy hearts in what must have been the gray light of dawn. When the first streaks of the rising sun brightened the sky, they were un­ aware that this was a special dawn; the most glor­ ious day in the history of the Christian world. Resurrection creeds differ in language but all Christ­ ian people believe in the resurrection- As surely as sunrise follows sunset, Easter is the crowning evidence of resurrection. Without resurrection, religion of any type, is a fallacy. Yet, terrified people continue to be confused about the meaning and purpose of the last and final heartbeat. This confusion is so needless when the evidence of Easter can and should give us confidence that the grav© is not the end of life. The certainty of resurrection should lighten all hearts when people say "Happy Easter". In that ^Uef we say "Happy Easter" to you. . . .GEORGE K. JUsitN & SON FUNERAL HOME, 3519 W.

PARKING PROBLEM FOR EAST CAMPUS FACULTY RESOLVED (Continued from page 1) with the national average, to which Swantz responded that for many reasons this is dif­ ficult to determine and give an accurate picture. It was decided that another study should be held on the cost savings in the possible cutback on courses. Although he pointed to many problems this would create, Supt. Swantz admitted he didn't like to see so many students leaving school for early graduation. In expressing concern for what he termed "no planning until an emergency requires immediate action", President James Althoff presented a list of priorities he asked the board to study. These included such areas as discipline, custodial, drugs, alcohol, etc. Held over for future study was a proposal regarding the school's need for assistance in dealing with truant students with the surrounding elementary districts. It had previously been generally agreed that some part time, on call person could be appointed as the officer for the districts. An overall review was ap­ proved for Senior Citizen gold cards following a misun­ derstanding at the recent musical presented at West campus. Feedback cards were shown which will be distributed through the community. They will be available at many school activities, asking for public expressions concerning ideas or questions on the school system. The school administrators disclosed recent contact with Civil Defense leaders for the purpose of consultation regarding fire evacuation plans, emergency weather plans, bomb threats and n a t i o n a l e m e r g e n c y procedures. A report will be forthcoming. A Building committee was named to begin reviewing the needs of both campuses, in­ cluding the baseball field proposal. Members are Don Arvidson, Clint Claypool and Edwin Neumann. The Negotiations committee was reappointed. At the reorganization meeting which preceded the discussion of business, James Althoff was reelected president and Edwifi Neumann, secretary, at no salary. Regular meeting dates were established as the first Wed­ nesday of the month at 7:3t) p.m., alternating at East and West campuses, and the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 in the Central administration building.

Recycling Drive Set For April 28 The McHenry County Defenders and this month's workers, the American Field Service groups from West campus and Hersey high school in Mtv Prospect, announce McHenry's monthly paper drive to be held the last- Saturday of the month, April 28. The drives are held at the McHenry Market Place from 9 until 5 on the last Saturday of each month. Different groups of young people work with the Defenders to provide this service to the environment and to the community by seeing that paper is recycled and landfill sites are not as rapidly filled. Newspapers, magazines and corrugated cardboard will be accepted. They should be bundled and tied separately and securely. The bundles must be moved about four times before they are recycled. Clean and flattened cans and clean bottles with all metal rims and lids removed will be collected by the Women's auxiliary of West Shore Beach at the same time and place as the paper drive. Cord is available. Paper, cans and bottles make up a large portion of the refuse disposed of by families each day, and yet only a small percentage ever is recycled. If there are any questions regarding the paper collection, call 385-8512. For answers to questions regarding the bottles and cans, call 395-7841. Driver Escapes Injury As Car Rolls Tuesday James J.
