ON ODORS "Editor: "I bought a house on Green street and for six years I listened to cars go up and down the street, school buses would shake the pictures on the walls, sirens at night would set me up in bed. On a summer night we had to shut our front door to hear the television. Then I saw the light. I moved out of town for peace and quiet. "Out here on the edge of town there are houses, dogs, cats, birds and a few sheep. On my 5 acres I have pheasants, squirrels and a raccoon will go by now and then. "Now, once in awhile, Shamrock Beef Corp. spreads manure near my fence. It smells a little, but it won't kill me and I know it's part of life in the country. It only happens twice a year. You who are complaining don't think of it when you buy your steaks for your dinner table. "Hie moral of my story is -- you who complain about our neighborhood could buy my old house on Green street and listen to the noise. Maybe we could get our animals to defecate in a bag, then you could buy this smelly stuff at the store to put on your roses and lawns. You wouldn't complain about the smell then. "I like it here-don't bug us! "Lyle C. Miller" APATHY "Editor: "I am a member of the sophomore class at East campus and am one of several students serving on the Parents' Advisory council, an organization made up of parents, teachers and students. Hie purpose of the council is to look into the various aspects of our East campus school and make recommendations to the school board in order "to improve the quality of our education. One of the committees of the council deals with rules and regulations of the school. Since smoking in the washrooms creates a great deal of our discipline problems, directly or indirectly, this was the first area the committee concentrated on. After several meetings and intense discussions, the committee voted in favor of having a smoking area at East, but before they took their recommendation to the board, they decided to invite any concerned parents or students to come to an open forum to voice their opinions and offer other, less drastic, solutions. About fifty parents and fifteen students took advantage of this opportunity to make themselves heard. A questionnaire after the meeting showed most parents against a smoking area, but few of them gave an alternative, except the continuation of the present no- smoking policy with stricter Police Tickets The following tickets were issued by the McHenry Police department: David Resman, 102 Hickory, Carpentersville, improper right turn.

Teachers are unable to control the situation at present, and what parent wants to sit in a washroom all day? "But this disappointing response is not the reason I am writing. Recently, an ordinance concerning horses was proposed. Some 500 hCM-semen attended a meeting to show their opposition to the ordinance. Now, if 500 people are that concerned for their horses, why do only fifty of the approximately 2,500 parents and fifteen of the 1,250 students show any concern whatsoever, when theproblem affects every one of them? We publicized through the paper and sent notices home with students, so we must assume they knew of the meeting. "Why was there such apathetic response? Do they feel this problem is so small we're making a mountain out of a molehill, or is it that they just don't care? I love horses, but I feel the education of the community's children should warrant at very, very, least, equal interest. Something is terribly wrong.

Travel** Finds San Juan Port Of Interest Hugh Kirk, who has just returned from a Caribbean trip, reports that San Juan, Puerto Rico, has a large fine harbor. The Spanish, hie said, had built two very large forts many years ago, one to guard the harbor and the other to defend the city. These are now maintained by the government and open mihlir Patrick D. Moran, 1812 Orchard, McHenry, reckless driving. The old part erf the city has streets that are quite narrow and give the visitors a feeling he is living a few centuries ago. The airport is large and modern, comparing favorably with those in the United States except for the largest cities in this country. After touring the city, Kirk and the other travelers went down to the harbor to see the large ship which they were to use to cruise the islands. Later, - when they were far out of sight of land, the ship seemed much smaller as the ocean waves made it roll and toss. Kirk said their stomachs did the same.
