RENT A WATER SOFTNER from TOM HL'EMANN Water Conditioning 2103 W. Church 385-3093 Johnsburg. McHenry Highlight of the conference will be the appearance of Dr. Edward D. Frierson Friday morning. He is regarded as one of the most outstanding, stimulating and inspiring speakers in the field of education in the country Board members were urged to be present to hear Dr Frierson. A report on the Citizens Advisory council listed returning members as Mrs. Vonnie Wynveen, Junior high; Mrs Ann Smith, Landmark; Mrs. Charlotte Broman, Parkland, and Mrs. Carolyn Hoffman, Hilltop. Others whoare serving on the council are Mrs. Janet Frantz, landmark; Mrs. Carolyn Law, Mrs. Judy Garde and Mrs. Sandra Moyer, Edgebrook; Mrs. Dolores Rogers, Parkland; Mrs. Frances Larsen and Mrs. Glenys Bird, Valley View. Retiring members are Dick Ortman, Joyce Werhane, Delores Manny, Louis Arroyo and Corrine Boyer. It was noted that Dr. Robert Boos, superintendent of District 15, has been named to serve on the SEDOM six member board of directors Study committee. This special group is appointed to investigate, discuss and make recommendations concerning several topics, namely articles of joint agreement, the financial condition of SEDOM, and its future. Approval was given for the purchase of a compactor and two Re-Use-A-Cubes at a cost of $2,976.70. Lake County Pollution Packers of Waukegan was the successful bidder The purchase is expected to result in considerable savings to the district. An example is Parkland school, where administrators say the use of one compactor would reduce the pick-ups to one each week with a six yard container which would cost $;>1.30 per month. This, iney estimate, would amount to a one-year savings at Parkland on a ten-month basis of $1,345.

OLD CONCEPT ^EDUCATION (CorHjnued from page I) are foundry be consistent with Biblical teaching, the school promises to be a new venture in * childhood education. "Each classroom is a self contained unit" explained Mr. Krb. "each child has his own •office' within the learning center where he will spend the larger part of the day There he will complete especially prepared educational learning materials which are prepared for his level of achievement. "A sophisticated system of awards and demerits are maintained to aid in motivating the child to his greatest potential" continued Mr Aird, chairman of the Kducation committee. The child is not prorrnrrtid with a group nor held back by a group He proceeds at his own rate," he continued. Enrollment is continuing at First Baptist church, Rt. 31, in McHenry. Those interested persons are asked to call 385- 0106. REGISTRATION FOR HEADSTART IS SCHEDULED (Continued from page 1) where needed. The program will also include medical and dental checkups and immunizations. "The children will learn many of the skills needed to get a good start in school," said Ms. Markut, "and should benefit from learning to get along in a group." Parent participation is encouraged in policy making and in classroom activity. Applications for the positions of cook and teacher's aides are being taken, and those interested may contact Ms. Markut during registration or later. Headstart is a federally funded program under the auspices of the Office of Child Development, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and is locally supervised by the Community Action agency for McHenry county. The federal government pays up to 80 per cent of the cost, with remaining costs being met through local contributions of space, volunteer time, supplies or other services. There is no cost to participating families. According to Ms. Gwen Johnson, chairman of the agency, funding is currently available for only one center in McHenry county - that in the town of McHenry. "However we are always looking for ways to expand our services to the children of the county," she added. The Community Action agency also runs a state-funded Day Care center for migrant children in Harvard during the summer, under the direction of James Foley.

But alas, the telltale lottery tickets not quite hidden in the hand of each one convinced us that the glamor lay, instead, in the odor of greenbacks in the offing. With the characteristic attitude of a vulture and the sound of a magpie, these men and women with whom we work reflected scenes throughout the state. Their optimism, multiplied in thousands of similar settings, was certainly sufficient to give a boost to the Wall Street readings Illinoisans, indeed, were bullish. Carefully, and with all attention to detail, each ticket was spread out on every available desk The familiar bated breath was no figure of speech. It was just that - bated Then the winning numbers came through, courtesy of Alexander Graham Bell Plainly they told the age-old story that comes to all gamblers at some time. Politely, it is summed up as a loss. In less polite language, the punch line says "sucker". The sportsmanship of the average American has been challenged, and presumably it will not be found wanting. Tickets became immediately available for another exciting chapter in the newest version of the How-To-Become-Rich game, and most of our friends were ready to try again. After all, there are really no losers, if you can believe the promoters of the lottery. The state expects to put into its coffers something in the neighborhood of 70 million extra dollars a year, and we are all part of the state. Our taxes may be reduced by this prudent action unless we (the state) decide to find more places to spend this new money. Hooray for the sports­ manship of the American public. And it does take sportsmanship to play the lottery game. Statistics tell us the sad fact that we have 20 per cent more chance to get hit by lightning than to win the million dollars. But should you be the lucky one to beat the odds, be sure Uncle Sam will be waiting. Already he has sent press releases telling us that all winnings are considered as taxable income and must be reported on your federal income tax return. Good luck! K.A.F.

Sheila Goetter, daughter of Robert and Harriet Goetter of 1728 N. Hermitage, Chicago, was a resident of the school. The child somehow succeeded in making her way to the pool, which was 200 yards away from the group of children she had been playing with in a play area. Her supervisors and construction men working on a building addition failed to see the child leave the group. She was pulled from the pool by school employees but failed to respond to first aid rendered at the scene The Woodstock Rescue squad transported the victim to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, but she was dead on arrival.

THINK ABOUT BY BOB J LISTEN In childish manner a youngster ended a night time prayer with: "And Dear God, please put the vitamins we need in pie, ice cream and candy - instead of spinach, liver and milk" . . . Is it realized adult prayers are often uttered in a similar way? We pray for what we want, too often in disregard of "Thy will be done". . . God's way is often not our way of doing things. And we dp not have the right to implore Him to do things our way. God's will is supreme. It was seen centuries ago in an earnest prayer: "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine be done" . . . . In His infinite wisdom He knows best when he says yes or no to a prayer. We don't. We know or should know a soul can be destroyed if or when we refuse to accept or question His decisions. He will supply, our needs as He sees fit. Prayer can and should make us cheerful, hopeful - and - patient GEORGE It. J LISTEN FUNERAL HOME 3519 W.
