PAGE 14 - McHENRY PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 15.1974 MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) Preparing to perform all those errands that work prevents us from doing during the week, we drove the car out of the garage in the morning to find a very squashy rear tire. Driving by two closed stations, we approached the back room of our own newspaper office where we were informed there were a number of pieces of equipment for just such an emergency. No luck! Then, armed with the moral support and physical strength of one of our advertising men we started out in search of something we had always taken for granted - air. At a nearby station the hose was conveniently located but no amount of cajoling could lure it into producing any pressure. „ So on to another station where we were personally well acquainted. A jeep con­ veniently prevented entrance, so we artfully maneuvered our vehicle in and out of traffic until we reached another station closed to gas sales but open for who-knows-what. Here, at last, was our answer. Our co-worker went inside, only to return with the message that there was no air hose. No air hose at a service station? That's like a kitchen without a sink. So westward we wended our way. There was en­ couragement in an open station where we had purchased a full tank the previous morning. That was our very occasional request for servtee under the hood, for which we had left a generous tip. Approaching the gas-less station owner, we suggested that our rear tire needed some attention if we were to get around town over the weekend. Apparently we lacked charisma - whatever that is! He grumbled something about being busy with book work and we could get the air if there was somebody to put it in. We assured him we had someone capable of the job. Then he mumbled somethings about moving the equipment outside and we asked for a repeat on that. After balancing on one foot and then the other outside for'a few minutes, we looked toward the door to find the owner had gone about his bookkeeping, knowing full well as he glanced from the window facing us that we were still waiting. The story had a happy ending at the next stop, but not until we had wasted forty-five minutes. By this time the gas supply had dwindled, and if you can't get air you certainly aren't going to get gasoline. The one particular point of the story is this. We are all in an unfortunate situation in which gas station operators are providing an accommodation rather than a service. Some of them are doing this in the best way they are able to view of tightened supplies. Others seem to have forgotten that this is a particular business in which the product, until very 9* HOUGHTON HEATING » Air Conditioning • Gutters PHONE 385-5476 McHENRY EARL R.

McHenry f (Next to Gem Cleaners) lately, has been secondary to the service. It may take awhile, but we are convinced that it will be that way again some day. And when it is, we hope other drivers will remember. The fact that not one McHenry station is open for a couple of hours any evening convinces us that not too many operators are very much concerned about the public. With more than a dozen stations in the city, this would mean an individual operator's turn to remain open would occur only about once in two weeks. Another convincing proof is the lack of uniformity in the hours of local stations from day to day. Everyone knows stations will close when the supply is exhaused, but it would provide a service to drivers if they knew when they could expect a station to open. All these things we will remember. Better days are coming! K.A.F. REVISION PLANS ACCEPTED ON CURRICULUM (Continued from page 1) not be mailed before March 15, Town Meeting No. 2 was moved to April 3.

The theft occurred sometime since Friday night while the vehicle was parked at a residence of an employee, Kenneth Bielski of 911 Florence, McHenry. The home of Ricky Karls at 7707 Oakwood drive, Wonder Lake, was burglarized sometime since last Sunday. Offenders entered the unlocked home and removed ap­ proximately $235 from the premises. An auto owned by John Aleksich of 415 Eastview, McHenry, was burglarized Monday night while parked in his driveway. Taken were an 8- track tape player with stereo radio combination, four stereo tapes and several hand tools. Sometime since Feb. 2, the home of vacationing Andrew Wiatr, 4709 Jeffery, McHenry, was entered. The rear door of the home had been pried open. An inventory will be taken when the owner returns home.

Sometime after Jan. 15, the home was entered by breaking a window. The premises were vandalized and the electricity shut off, causing plumbing to freeze and the sump pump to cease, which caused flooding in the furnace area. The damage was discovered by an acquaintance who had been looking after the property. Daniel Langhans of 6300 Wilmot road, Spring Grove, reported that he found a par­ tially stripped snowmobile abandoned against a tree on his property last weekend. Evidence indicated the vehicle had been driven into a tree and the engine and other parts removed.

DISMISSED OFFICER ASKS COURT TO REVIEW CASE (Continued from page 1) introduced at the hearing showing that Lange was guilty of any breach of duty or of any offense which justified his discharge. The suit further purports that Lange was entitled to have said charges dismissed with prejudice in that his superiors failed to comply with, and violated their duties as imposed upon them in Police Depart­ ment Rules and Regulations which provide that lieutenants and sergeants shall: "Report in writing to their commanding officers every case of misconduct, incompetency, neglect of duty or any violation of the rules and regulations on the part of such patrolmen. Failure to report will be suf­ ficient for disciplinary action before the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners". The complaint contends that failure of Lange's superiors to comply and the failure of the commissioners to enforce the rules deprived the board of jurisdiction over the amended complaint. The suit claims that • the subject matter of the complaint constituted "lat­ ches" which denied Lange the £ opportunity and ability to % adequately defend himself * against the charges. •• The complaint states that according to Illinois Revised Statutes, the city attorney should be designated as prosecutor to represent the board unless the board is authorized by the city to em­ ploy another attorney. The suit contends that At­ torney Terry Mohr was not the city attorney and had not been authorized to represent the board nor to prosecute and present evidence before the board. The Board of Commissioners has been asked to file an an­ swer to the above complaint in the near future. Winter Squash You can serve cooked winter squash in the shell, mashed; slic­ ed or broiled.

Students are busy preparing posters to promote Catholic School Week. They will be in keeping with the aim to inform that "the school is very much alive today". School Principal Sister Viola Koenigsfeld said this week, "At the present, St. John's school is very alive. Here, we believe there is a time for creating tomorrow. We believe our school is a creative Christian force in helping students meet the new, the different, the unknown world of tomorrow".

"The taking of blood pressure requires only a minute," says Vivian Johnson, R.N., president of the E.D.N.A. chapter. "If we can discover even a few persons who should see their physicians for treatment of high blood pressure before they have a heart attack, our time and effort will be well spent." • Members of the chapter have conducted blood pressure screenings in Cary, Fox River Grove, Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo, Richmond, Union and Woodstock, in cooperation with the McHenry chapter of the American Heart association. DRUG CHARGE While on routine patrol Monday night about 11:45, deputies observed an east- bound auto on Route 120, east of Chapel Hill road, with a loud muffler which was hanging on the roadway.
