COMMEMORATE LAW DAY WITH SPECIAL EVENTS (Continued from page 1) Marengo high school. Others will be announced. Major feature of the Law Day observance is the annual banquet scheduled for Friday night, May 4, at Tumberry. It will start at 7:30 p.m. Theme this year is "Help Your Court- Assure Justice." * "Law is the intangeable force that makes freedom and democracy possible," said Condon. "It is the breath and blood of democracy. It is law that brings order into the affairs of men and permits the growth and development of enterprises large and small." Concluded Condon: "The law, though not perfect, is the finest mechanism yet devised by man to achieve the id&al of equal justice for all men: Today in our country the least for­ tunate .among us enjoys more equal Social justice, more protection of life, liberty and property, and a greater op­ portunity for personal freedom, than has ever been provided the common man by any other system in recorded history. "Without the law, democracy cannot survive." MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) taken to the police station on Green street. He is anxious that as many as possible be iden­ tified and returned to the owners. An auction will be held May 19 to dispose of those bicycles which have not been claimed. One last item of note regarding last week's city election. The City Clerk's office received more than 200 ap­ plications for absentee ballots - breaking all previous records. An interest in city government is a healthy state of affairs. This figure indicates just such an interest exists in McHenry. To get maximum attention, it's hard to beat a good big mistake. This goes for any un­ dertaking, and last week pressmen did just that in allowing disfiguring marks to mar a front page picture in the Plaindealer. Like other mistakes, it would have at­ tracted attention even buried well inside the paper. K.A.F. THEFT, DAMAGE TO SCHOOL IN FRIDAY BURGLARY (Continued from page 1) tered through an unlocked garage door. The home was ransacked, with closets searched, drawers opened, etc. Taken from the home were an 8-track stereo player with two speakers, approximately $70 in silver coins, a man's wrist watch, a woman's wrist watch and a ladies wrist watch. An 8 mm movie camera was missing from the auto. Further investigation is being made by the detective division of the sheriff's department. County authorities in­ vestigated a burglary at the Leigh Skelly Service station, 3417 Thompson road, Wonder Lake, which occurred sometime Friday night. When owner of the station, Floyd Leigh, arrived Saturday morning, he discovered a window of the station had been broken but entry had not been made. Three vehicles parked outside the station were en­ tered. Nothing was taken from an auto but a radio, tape player and a tachometer were stolen from two pickup trucks. Louis Hartmann of 2902 Regner road, McHenry, in­ formed county authorities that after the departure of two persons who had come to visit a tenant on his property, he discovered that some tiems had been taken from his open garage. Missing from the premises were a battery charger, a set of metric hand \tools, a quantity of adjustable wrenches, hand tools and a portable seal beam light. It was not determined that the visitors were responsible for the theft. The Floyd Cooley home at 3620 W. Main street, McHenry, was enetered sometime bet­ ween 3 and 10 p.m. Sunday. Rooms were ransacked and several items were taken from the home. , Gordon Roberts *of 2101 Coolidge, McHenry, reported that a tanker truck used in the operation of his gravel pit east of Miller road, had been severely damaged with win­ dows broken, etc. A two-way radio was also taken from the truck. NEW MASTER'S PROGRAM FOR SCHOOLS APPROVED (Continued from page 1) required to offer a team planning situation, multi-aged groupings, a continuous progress format or an unique program of individualization. The motion for a vote on^he program was made by Lester Smith, seconded by JDorothy Vick. ' However, before the vote was taken, M. David Cain observed that some of the new programs he knew to be successful and some not. Cain then questioned whether or not the school system exists to educate teachers or children. In recognizing that some good would result, he asked, "But will it do what we hope it will?" Supt. Robert Boos, in answer, replied that the better educated the teachers are, the better it is for students. It was noted that after the first two years of the program, teachers may select the university or college from which they wish to receive their Master's degree. To qualify for the university field center to be located in the McHenry area, it is necessary for the board to set up a professional library for staff members. It was for this purpose that the board voted money in the budget to cover Serial resources. Dave Roberts and Delores Taylor, representing the Consortium, were present to give details on the program. Prior to the discussion of the new Master's program, the board held its organizational meeting and elected officers. Henry Nell was reelected president, with Dorothy Vick as president pro-tem; and Ann Cuda was elected secretary and M. David Cain, secretary pro- tem. The secretary receives $35 per month. Before James Shaffer left the board, congratulations were extended for the many services he had provided in his role as board member. Shaffer did not seek reelection. Mrs. Cuda, in recalling that the vote count was delayed in District 15, recommended that in the future, one or two of the judges be named who have had experience. Approval was given to em­ ploying the law firm of Rob- bins, Nicholas and Lifton, 29 South LaSalle street, Chicago, on the same basis as the past year. The retainer fee will not exceed $150 a month, which assures that one of the prin­ cipal members of the firm be present at each regular board business meeting. An okay was also made on the board's meeting calendar for the 1973-74 year. Instructional meetings are held at 7:30 on the fourth Tuesday of the month, the locations changing to in­ clude all schools in the district. The business meetings start at 7:30 the second Tuesday of each month, held at the central administration building on Main street. The one exception is the May 22 instructional meeting. This will be held at Junior high school, with the reading program discussed between 7 and 8 o'clock and a band con­ cert to follow. wfe have cars in stock at pre- inaease prices. 1973 OPEL MANIA: $2390 As Low As, BARBER BUICK Phone: 312- 91 S. Rte. 12 FOX LAKE, ILL. 587-2555 MCC ELECTS NEW OFFICERS (Continued from page 1) respectively, by unanimous vote. It was announced that committee appointments would be made at the next regular meeting of the board which is scheduled April 26. Two resolutions were adopted by the board. The first resolved that "all rules, regulations and policies adopted by the previous board of McHenry County college, Illinois Public Junior College District No. 528, remain in full force and effect as intended in the past". The second resolution stated, "It is hereby resolved that the time, place and schedule of regular meetings of the board of MCC, Illinois Public Junior. College District No. 528, remain the same as in the past, that is, at 7:30 p.m. in the interim of­ fices of the college in Crystal Lake, on the fourth Thursday of each calendar month, ex­ cepting the months of August, November and December when exceptions will be made". Dr. Bernard Horton, executive secretary of the Illinois Trustees association, was introduced to the board and presented^slides and a discussion on finances for community colleges. The Illinois Trustees association was organized to serve as an advisory group to the Illinois Junior College board which represents thirty- eight Junior college districts in the state. There are forty-seven campuses in these districts which serve over 200,000 per­ sons. This is more than all the senior state institutions combined serve. Dr. Horton noted that from 1965 to 1972, Junior college enrollments growth was up over 20 percent while senior institutions showed a decline of 4 percent. This indicates that future state growth will be at the junior college level. Dr. Horton explained that money to operate junior colleges comes from the following sources: 44.5 percent from property taxes; 15.4 from tuition (or 59.9 percent from local sources); 37.6 percent from state government and 2.5 percent from federal govern­ ment. Even though the junior colleges serve approximately 30,000 more students than do senior institutions, junior colleges receive only 13 percent of state funds. Dr. Horton explained that the Trustees association wishes to accomplish four things: 1 - Represent the Illinois Junior College board to state govern­ ment and associated agencies as well as to the public at large, as a state system ; 2 - Establish an office to provide services and materials needed; 3 - Provide trustees with educational materials and information and organize workshops for them; 4 - Provide some type of unifying force for thi®ty-eight junior college districts in the state. Dr. Horton was asked when MCC would receive state funds to begin construction. He stated, "I am confident you will get the money for this college right after July 1".

State Fish Biologist Harvey Brown, located at Lake Defiance, said the occurrence was not unusual. He added that carp and some other fish seek shallow water. Brown predicted that some would be caught by fishermen and others might find their way back into the main stream. Anti-Pollution Bill Clears State House During his campaign for State Representative, Cal Skinner Jr. (R-Crystal Lake) often mentioned that he wanted to sponsor legislation to regulate the people who make a business of cleaning out septic tanks. He pointed to three of numerous abuses that had occurred in McHenry county in the past few years: -The dumping of a tank load of septic effluent in a channel off the Fox River during the summer of 1970; -The dumping of wastes in ditches along local rural roads; and -The dumping of sewage on farmland which resulted in the pollution of a pond two miles away. Shortly after the 1970 in­ cident, Skinner said he ap­ proached the McHenry County Board of Health requesting them to regulate those who serviced the septic tanks in the County. He said no action was taken. This year. Skinner ap- Marian Central Hosts Six-School Art Show The Catholic high schools of the Rockford diocese are in preparation for the first combined inter-school art exhibit to be held Sunday, April 29, from 2 to 5 p.m., at Marian Central Catholic high school. The participating schools will be Boylan Central (Rock- ford), Aquin Central (Freeport), Newman Central (Sterling), Aurora Central (Aurora), Marmion Military academy (Aurora), and the host shcool, Marian Central. During the exhibit set up in the gym, music will be provided by the Marian stage band, directed by Robert proached the State Department of Public Health and was in­ formed that Rep. Horace Calvo (D-Grante City) already had a bill in the hopper to create a private sewage disposal licensing act. Skinner became a co-sponsor and the bill unanimously passed the House just before the Easter recess. Starting in 1974, the bill calls for state licensing and regulation of anyone who empties septic tanks. A $50 annual license fee is called for and fines would be not less than $100 per day of violation. The Public Health dept may designate a county health department as its agent and local government is not prohibited from passing local rules and regulations, as long as they are at least equal to state regulation and inspection. "With the big push to lessen the power of the En­ vironmental Protection agency this year, it is refreshing when a bill like this seems headed for non-controversial passage," Skinner said. Prazak. Vocal and in­ strumental entertainment will be provided by '72 Marian alumni, Bill Zingrone and Tom Kuenster. The art judging will take place at 4 p.m. by Joseph Rabacek, Art director at McHenry Community college, and prizes donated by various business organizations will be awarded to outstanding works. The public is invited to view these exhibits. Arrest Drivers Fleeing From Authorities James E. Merriott of 440 Center, Woodstock, was arrested for driving while in­ toxicated, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and speeding 85 m.p.h. in a 50 m.p.h. zone. The arrest was made after city police attempted to stop the auto Wednesday morning about 1:20 at the intersection of Elm and Third streets. When officers approached the driver, he left the scene at a high rate of speed. Another squad car was summoned and Merriott's auto was finally stopped on Rt. 120, east of McHenry. Donald Regnier of 3914 N. Hamlin drive, McHenry, was arrested for speeding 100 m.p.h. in a 65 m.p.h. zone after a high speed chase on Spring Grove road, north of John- sburg, Sunday night. Deputies observed the auto at the in­ tersection of Spring Grove and Johnsburg roads, traveling north-bound at a high rate of PAGE 19-PLAINDEALER- FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1973 Recycling Drive Set For Saturday, April 28 Papers, magazines, card­ board, bottles and cans will all be collected this Saturday, April 28 at the McHenry Market Place between 9 and 5. Newspaper, magazines and corrugated cardboard should each be bundled separately. Rope will be available for those who would like some for next month. Baling twine from bales of hay is being used for this part of the project. Anyone having bags of clean baling twine rope they would like to dispose of should bring them the day of the drive rather than burning them. The rope will certainly be reused. Bottles should be washed, lids and metal bands removed. Cans should be washed and flattened. No bi-metal ("pop- top" beverage cans) will be accepted. Those working on the paper drive with the McHenry County Defenders this month are members of the McHenry American Field Service chapter.

PLAN CLEAN-UP The annual pickup of rubbish and unwanted junk is being planned by the Pistakee Highlands Property Owners association in that subdivision. No pickup will be made of items which cannot be handled by two men. The pickup will be made Saturday, May 5, and residents are asked to leave their items in the front yard the previous night. Officers of the association say there will be no pickup from those who have not paid their garbage disposal bills. DELAYED PAPER DELIVERY Due to road and sewer construction in progress in Lakeland Park, McHenry, some deliveries of the Citizen newspaper may be delayed. However, the papers will be delivered as close to schedule as possible. DRIVER HURT Wilbur J. Haak of 7215 Algonquin road, Wonder Lake, was transported to Memorial hospital by Crystal Lake ambulance following a one-car accident Wednesday morning about 1:45 on Walkup road, just north of Egewood road, near Crystal Lake.
