Major Industrial Park Imminent For Woodstock A major industrial park Vfr miles southeast of Woodstock's south city limits on Route 14 is imminent. The McHenry County board last week approved necessary zoning changes providing all environmental standards are met and amending ordinances are incorporated with the re- zoning application as necessary. The new park--about 178 acres of land owned by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Reed--will be known as Rolling Hills In­ dustrial park, Carl Muhlen- bruch, a registered engineer with Tec-Search, Inc. said as he presented details on the proposed industrial park at the hearing before th6 Zoning Board of Appeals. No objectors voiced disagreement with the use of this land as a planned park. The farm is located between Route 14 and the Chicago Nor­ thwestern railroad and is the site of a gravel pit operation. The plan as prepared by Muhlenbruch for Reed, will use the gravel pit as a lake area-- for runoff, for fire protection and for recreatiop. It would cover 31 acres. He estimated, that an industrial park with a $20 million investment would Schools Must Provide For Handicapped Attorney General William J. Scott held in an official opinion that all new Illinois schools must provide facilities for the handicapped and disabled. Scott's opinion, given to state Superintendent of Public In­ struction Michael J. Bakalis, referred specifically to the new Zion-Benton Township high school (north of Waukegan) and whether the state Facilities for the Handicapped act applies to the new school. The Attorney General ad­ vised Supt. Bakalis that (1) schools are legally considered public buildings, and (2) that the Facilities for the Han­ dicapped act applies to all new construction or remodeling of a public building. Scott said that in determining the type of facilities to be provided--such as an elevator for the disabled--the Depart­ ment of General Services has published standards pursuant to its authority under the act. net the school district about $367,000 compared with $183,000 if developed for residential purposes. The county tax on a $20 million investment would be about $45,000 and the township would receive about $12,000. These standards are contained in a state publication, "Stan­ dard Specifications for Facilities for the Han­ dicapped." He advised Supt. Bakalis that the constructing authority should determine the extent and nature of the handicapped facilities in accordance with the state standards.

Prust, of the McHenry State Bank were among 1,648 students-bankers from thirty- six states and several foreign nations who have just com­ pleted the annual two-week residence session of the 29th annual Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Newsprint Supply Tight The supply of newsprint for the nation's newspapers is tight and may get tighter, which probably will result in more 15- cent newspapers and higher advertising rates in the future, according to industry spokesmen. The country's 1,761 daily newspapers have been under warning for some time from the A m e r i c a n N e w s p a p e r Publisher's association that demand for newsprint is cat­ ching up with supply. "The present situation is not yet acute," said Stanford Smith, president of the ANPA. Smith said he had not heard of any cases where newspapers have missed editions because of a lack of newsprint, but added a number of newspapers have taken steps to avoid wasting newsprint. But Smith and others feel the big problem may lie ahead. Newsprint mills are already producing at capacity or near capacity in both the United States and Canada while demand from the newspaper industry continues to surge. "If the economy moves up in 1974 and 1975, there could be a very tight supply situation," said Howard Post, a Depart­ ment of Commerce specialist for forest products. Newsprint is currently selling for $175 a ton. Post estimates the price would have to increase to between $225 and $250 per ton to provide adequate incentive for new investment. It's TAX TIME AGAIN AND We Can Make It Easier For You Women's Lib? At Sunday School, Tracy was asked if she knew the story of Adam and Eve. "First God cre­ ated Adam," she said, "then He looked at him and said, 'I think I can do better.' So, He created girls." Figure This Out! Two girls were born on the same day, at the same time, in the same year, of the same par­ ents. Yet they were not twins. How do you explain this? Answer: They were two of a set of triplets.
