1 Insurance Agents of McHenry County Offer Safe Boating Tips Lakes and waterways are rapidly filling with the 1973 fleet of pleasure craft. The McHenry County Association of Indpendent Insurance Agents offers some suggestions from the U.S. Coast Guard to help make this a safer and more enjoyable boating season. - While fueling, close $11 hatches, ports and doors to keep gas vapors out. Keep the filling nozzle ia contact with the fill pipe to prevent static spark. Make sure all electrical switches and pilot lights are off. - Absolutely no smoking on board or in the area. A Coast Guard fueling commandment says: "Bringeth down with all thy might thy wrath upon they that wouldst partake of the weed during fueling...that thy days be many and thy beard be not singed " - After fueling, wipe up any spillage and discard the cloth. Ventilate all compartments, giving a sniff test for gas fumes. Wait several minutes before starting the engine. - Keep an approved fire extinguisher on board and check it regularly. - Make sure there are ap­ proved life preservers for all on board. Have children wear them when on the boat. - Don't overload your boat, especially with people. - Keep your load evenly spread. - No horse play when under way. Even the act of standing in a small boat can be dangerous. Th|> Coast Guard commandment «n boat loading says, VSuffer thee not the fools who would ride in the bow for they are non-believers and are not long for this world." - Learn and obey the rules of the road. Ignorance or neglect of the rules are the greatest single cause of collision. - Learn to read the weather, check forecasts and keep a portable radio handy for up-to- date weather information. When in doubt don't go out. - Watch your speed! You are responsible for damage caused by your wake. Stay away from swimmers, watch out for signs of divers and proceed through anchorages at minimum speed. - Never tow a skier with less than two people aboard. - Keep a sharp lookout for what's ahead. The local independent agents also caution captains to make sure their boats are properly covered by insurance. Dundee Edges V.A.

Noting enrollments rose 12 percent over a year ago, Ad­ ministrator Donald E. Johnson pointed out "the last time participation was higher was when 1.433 million veterans trained under the original G.I. Bill in December 1951." Johnson said that although April's 1.4 million enrollment was the highest under the current G.I. Bill, 1.367 million veterans trained in March, also a substantial number. April statistics also reveal 14 percent increases above year ago levels in both on-job training, and education study below college level. On-job training stood at 110,000, up from 96,000, while below college training rose to 446,000 from 390,000. Meanwhile, the number of veterans studying in college during April climbed 11 percent to 845,000 from 760,000 a year earlier. The April enrollment of 845,000 veterans also topped the 830,500 veterans who trained in March, it was noted. Teachers and school board members reached an agreement at Big Hollow school in Ingleside for the 1973-74 school term. The Big Hollow Education association was represented by a negotiating team headed by Dick Meyers, Science Teacher at the school and former McHenry County coordinator for President Nixon. Meyers was assisted by Mrs. Louise Elthrington, Mrs. Joanne Belva and James Shalek, Jr. • In an interview held Saturday in Crystal Lake, the chief negotiator revealed the major points in the agreement. Teachers at Big Hollow had asked for a 5.5 salary increase over and above last year, and the board of education proposed a 5.1 increase. "The committee felt that this was extremely close to our figure. In fact, when one examines the salary schedule proposed by the teachers and the one proposed by the board, it's easy to see we were only eighty dollars apart on starting salary or the salary base," Meyers said. In reading from the board's prepared text, Board President Edwin Becker said that since the teachers had expressed very strong feelings concerning the school calendar and their desire to share in its final determination, the school board would give the most serious consideration to any calendar proposed by the teachers, provided it met the legal requirements of the state, that it did not call for school to begin prior to Aug. 27 and not go beyond a certain date in June. Meyers said later, that he believes the board would consider seriously a teacher - proposed calendar, particularly in view of the excellent climate that exists between the board of education and the Big Hollow Teachers association. The board of education also agreed with the teachers that hours earned by teachers beyond the Bachelors' degree should be changed from the present fifteen to eight and sixteen respectively with in­ creases salary-wise to correspond. Some teachers had asked for "release" time from classes to attend staff meetings calledjby the administration. The board was opposed to this, and the negotiating team agreed with the board. "We don't have meetings called by the ad­ ministration that often, and even when we do, their duration is not at all that time con­ suming I think it v^ould be correct for me to say that the Negotiating team was unanimous in saying that this was not a serious point of contention" Meyers added. Meyers did adiriit that outside supervision of the playground was a serious point of discussion, but also indicated that during last year's negotiations the teachers agreed to accept a board of education offer of one personal leave day, if they would maintain supervision of the playground. The personal leave day was in addition to the regular number of sick days, which is ten in number and cumulative up to ninety for each teacher. Negotiating team member Louise Elthrington had some strong words on the subject and went to some length to point out some of the problems teachers face when classroom duties and playground supervision con­ flict. Meyers said he would quite naturally like to see the playground duty eliminated, but would also like to retain the single personal leave day.^if it comes to a matter of decision, I think keeping the personal leave day is the more desirable choice. Yet, if it were possible to work out some arrangement for someone else to supervise the playground other than the teaching staff, I'm certain the board of education would consider it" Meyers added. The chief negotiator also said that the negotiating team recognizes that the costs involved with the new building about to be opened soon will absorb funds that might otherwise be freed for this purpose. Meyers said that the Negotiating team felt that it education i^a positive spirit of understanding and cooperation that exists between the board members on the one hand and the teachers on the other. Both sides were realistic as to the funds available and *>the projected costs involved. All of this coupled with the Negotiating team's view that the board of education was brought back a good contract doing all possible for us cer- for the Big Hollow teachers. "If tainly provides a very there is one factor that stands productive atmosphere for out in my mind about our recent discussions" Meyers con- negotiations with the board of eluded. BASEBALL * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON. D.C.-The favorites in the National League are not doing as well as expected and one guesses, at this stage, both National League divisions will have new winners this year. In the American League no one looks like a winner in the east and Chicago, Kansas City and Oakland all look strong in the west. The eastern American League race was something of an irony in mid-May when all six teams had lost more games than they had won! That sort of situation helps Detroit, with four proven starters and good pinch hit­ ting. In the Ifational League west, four teams could win it--San Francisco, Houston, Cincinnati or Los Angeles. Chicago looks very strong in the east, but the Mets also have ideas. Pittsburgh m a y c o m e o n b u t w i t h o u t Clemente the Pirates don't appear as strong. If one had to bet, it would be Detroit and Chicago in the American and Chicago and Houston in the National. A one-city World Series? Possibly but the odds are against it.
