What our chances for success will be is a mute question. We recall very well another community in which a newspaper chose to publish a ballot asking readers to suggest ways to spend a $375,000 sur­ plus in county government which continued to grow. Some 87 per cent of the respondents wanted the county to spend the money to improve county roads. The second largest group wanted the county to keep the money and to reduce taxes. Five per cent of the survey respondents supported a new courthouse plan with an estimated cost of $1.5. Just how many public of­ ficials read the survey results? The folks in Lapeer, Mich., will probably never know. County commissioners recently hired architects to plan a new courthouse and offices. But one reader was a step ahead of them. Anticipating that development, his response to the newspaper survey was this: "It won't matter how the citizens want it spent. The politicians will either raise their own salaries with it, or build themselves some plushy offices..." We don't expect our public officials in McHenry to do that. But we do wish they would consider the most meager accommodations for our stray animal population so sadly in need. Some of us with soft hearts are becoming wearv! K.A.F.

COUNCIL GIVES OKAY TO STORM SEWER CONSTRUCTION (Continued from page 1) Appeals regarding amend­ ments on zoning classifications. The ZBA recommended reclassifying two lots on the southwest corner of Beach and Route 120 from R-3 single family to B-l. At the present time there are two model homes on the property. Edwin J. Mathus and Paul Deutsch were the petitioners. The zoning change was approved by the Council. On a petition by Michael J. and Dolores Weiser to reclassify four lots from R-3-A to B-3, the ZBA recommended that lots 12,13 and 14 in block 19 be given the variation. However, regarding lot 4 in block 19, the board suggested denial of that variation because parking on that lot would protrude into a residential area. The three lots in question are located on Route 120, just west of Kadisak Tile. The Council concurred with the recommendation of the ZBA and granted a variation oh three lots and denied reclassification of the other. In its third hearing, ZBA recommended reclassifying the Ralph Edgar property located behind the McHenry Savings and Loan from B-2 to B-l. After much discussion, the matter was tabled until the next meetinp Alderman Ed Datz reported that he and City Attorney Bernard Narusis had drawn up a proposed lease as a basis for a zoning petition on behalf of the rescue squad for use of the lot at Court and Venice streets. Mayor Stanek noted that he will meet with the Lakeland Park Property Owners' association Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the American Legion hall for the purpose of explaining the Cougar XR-7 In size, the totally new '74 Cougar is like Grand Prix and Monte Carlo.

Study Lbnd Use Plan At Conservation Meet Nine McHenry county residents were among those attending the annual meeting of the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation District in Springfield recently. The two-day program focused on the involvement of both rural and urban citizens in providing better quality en­ vironment through planned conservation of soil and water resources. Topics included land use planning, erosion and sediment control, education and en­ vironment, federal revenue sharing and steps needed to tell the public about local activities of the respective local districts. Representing the McHenry County Soil and Water Con­ servation district were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Fiske and their daughters, Jennifer and Nancy, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Kelahan and Mabel L. Aavang, all of Woodstock; and Robert A. HI A Participates In Safety Education Meet 815 - 385-8060 Officers and representatives of the McHenry County H.I.A. attended a one-day educational meeting of District 1, of the Illinois Health Improvement association last week, in Sugar Grove. This is one of nine such meetings being held throughout the state in the various districts of the Illinois H.I.A. Robert Eaton, director of District l, of the state association, conducted this meeting which had as its ob­ jective educating people about the rules of the road for drivers of cars, pedestrians, bicycle and motorcycle riders. A slide film featuring the new uniform traffic symbols was shown. "Safe driving of any type of vehicle on today's highways is very important," Eaton declared, "and this meeting was set up with the cooperation of Captain Daniel L. O'Brien, Springfield, director of in­ formation and education of the Illinois State Police." State Troopers James Mc- Cullum and Jim Vargas of the Elgin State Police district were the special speakers of the day. They gave an interesting and informative presentation illustrated by slide films of the new traffic symbols in color. These symbols, recently in­ stalled throughout Illinois, are uniform traffic symbols now used in all fifty states of the USA, Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America. "These uniform symbols," Trooper Vargas explained, "have been developed to bring greater safety to the movement of all kinds of traffic at home and abroad. Even the shapes of the signs have a special meaning. These signs do not depend on words alone, which some people may find difficult to read and understand. For example, red stop signs always are octagonal in shape with eight sides and the single word STOP in the center. The stop sign is the most common traffic sign encountered by travelers everywhere. Consequently, it is imperative that the message on it be perfectly clear and be easily recognized both day and night. That's why reflective red paint has been used to make it easy to see, either in daylight or when it is very dark. "The use of different colors is an important feature of the new signs and symbols," Trooper McCullum explained. "For example, red always stands for STOP or PROHIBITION. Green-colored signs give direction guidance. Yellow signs are for general warning. Black-and-white are used for traffic regulations such as speed limits. Orange signs are used for construction and maintenance warnings. Brown- colored signs are used for scenic guidance and public recreation information. "One of the advantages of the new uniform traffic signs now displayed throughout Illinois is that residents of Illinois who travel abroad will find driving easier and safer, as will the more than 8 million foreign citizens who now travel each year in the USA," McCullum stated. Working as a team, Troopers Vargas and McCullum ex­ plained how the traffic laws of Illinois work and why it is so necessary for people of all ages who drive any kind of vehicle to understand the rules of the road and what is required for driver's licensing. During the question and answer period which followed the regular meeting they answered questions relating to the rules of safety and why people should follow these rules in all their applications. Arrest DesPlalnes Man For Theft In Area Restaurant While on routine patrol Saturday morning about 4:15, deputies inspected Mr. Sitka's restaurant at Routes 12 and 31, Richmond, and found the rear door standing open.

Hecht, Woodstock, was honored for his services as legal counsel to the association for five years. During the past five years major changes have been made in laws concerning the functions of the districts, the association's relationships' with other agencies, and the association's stature with the state General Assembly. Radio station WIVS, Crystal Lake, < and James Olson, Crystal Lake teacher and conservationist, were also honored for their part in preparing a recording to ac­ company more than 300 historical slides. The slides were compiled by Robert Craft, Lisle, resource conservationist with the Soil Conservation Service. WIVS and Olson were presented the meritorious service award. Craft, along with Hecht and Robert Walker, SCS, Extension Service at the University of Illinois, also were presented meritorious service awards. Featured speaker at one of the sessions was Orion Samuelson, WGN farm director. Samuelson was in McHenry county earlier this month to participate in the McHenry County Fair ac­ tivities. Among speakers at the conference was Robert J. "Pud" Williams, director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Williams said with food production a prime con­ cern today, "all the people, rural and urban, must take the responsibility to see that proper soil and water conservation is practiced to assure our future food supply and quality of environment." Calling conservation of equal interest to urban and rural citizens, Williams said farmers are putting more land in production and urban people are using more land for recreation, highways, airports and city expansions. Jack B. Claar, director of the University Cooperation Ex­ tension Service, told annual meeting guests about the University's earliest in­ volvement in conservation. "Cyril Hopkins, early head of the agronomy department from 1909 to 1919, challenged far­ mers to pass along their land to the next generation in a richer condition," Claar recalled. "In 1902 the University College of Agriculture began soil survey work to inventory different soils and learn to manage them." area was seen passing the restaurant, deputies pursued it south on Route 12.
