(Next to Gem Cleaners) 3006 W. Rte. 120 McHenry Phone: 385-0783 received a firstttffhd look at the Chicago school system Friday, Nov. 22. Representatives from school districts IrtJ, over the state visited various Chicago schools on a day-long tour sponsored by the Chicago Board of Education and the Illinois Association of School Boards. The tour covered various sections of the city, including innercity schools. Purpose of the tour was to acquaint school board mem­ bers and administrators around the state with problems of the Chicago schools and how these problems are being met. The day concluded with a dinner and panel discussion of how participants reacted to what they discovered on the tour. "Problems faced by Chicago schools are much the same as those facing schools all over Illinois, only they are magnified many times because of size and diversity of neigh­ borhood standards and economics," says Stephen L. Doty, IASB associate executive director, who coordinated planning for the tour. "This is the seventh con­ secutive year for the tour," he adds, "and we find that it creates a good deal of mutual understanding -- even ad­ miration -- between school leaders downstate and those in Chicago. The tour underscores the fact that educational' goals are essentially the same statewide and that all schools must work together to achieve those goals."

Free College For Veterans jV«terans who were discharged after Jan. 31, 1955. may still qualify for the G.I. bill. At the present time the Veterans administration pays veterans either the tuition and fees for college courses (for 1-5 semester hours of credit), or a monthly allotment based on dependency (for 6 semester hours or more). The tax-free monthly allotments vary from $110 to $220 each month for a single veteran and slightly more for family men. In addition there is a state benefit for veterans inducted from the state of Illinois and returning to Illinois after discharge. The qualified veteran receives a scholarship which pays all of the tuition at a state-supported college in Illinois. Both programs can be used in conjunction with each other; PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community.

WATER CONDITIONERS EPA by overriding Gov. Walker's veto of SB589. "This bill was passed by overwhelming majorities in both Houses. Now the same commercial and industrial interests who drafted the legislation will be lobbying hard for a vote to override the veto. "SB589 would require an economic impact study of 'existing and proposed en- v i r o n m e n t a l c o n t r o l regulations'. This language could give four years of regulatory action by the Illinois Pollution Control board. All existing EPA rules and regulations will be unen­ forceable until readopted following completion of com­ plex studies and public hearings. Federal grants for construction of sewage treatment plants as well as grants for operating funds for the Illinois EPA may be jeopardized. "The EPA act already requires that PCB take into account 'the technical feasibility and economic reasonableness of measuring or reducing the particular type of pollution'. "On the other hand, we believe that not enough research has been done to determine the economic costs of pollution to individuals in loss of life, impaired health, physical incapacity, property damage and degradation of the environment to balance the cries of hardship from in­ dustry. "Senator Jack Schaffer was one of the sponsors of SB589 and it is imperative to let him know how disappointing his position is. Thomas Hanahan and Bruce Waddell also voted in favor of this anti-environmental legislation. Only Cal Skinner, Jr., voted nay. I" i f X, i i mm To a burglar, that living room light means Mr. Jones is home. To Mr. Jones in Florida, that's a comforting thought. How do you keep an empty house from looking empty? With timing devices that turn lights on and off at pre-set times while you're away. To a would-be burglar, your house seems occupied. Some devices have special light- sensitive cells that automatically turn a light on at dusk and off at dawn. Some allow the on-off cycle to occur several times a night. The craftiest burglar would never suspect. The best time to use timers is while you're on vacation or on weekends away from home. But it's a good idea to use them any time you're away. A burglar can take advantage of an evening on the town as easily as a two- week vacation. You can pick up these burglar- proofing devices from your hardware, department or discount store for a few dollars. And they don't use anymore current than an electric clock. Jhat's a small price to pay for all the protection you're getting. Commonwealth Edison Working lor you. * "We urge you to write, wire, or call your legislators im­ mediately and ask them to reconsider their positions on the crucial legislation and vote to sustain the Governor's veto. "Thanks for taking action now! "Sincerely, "Nancy Hohimer, "Legislative Chairman, "McHenry County Defenders, "3924 W. Waukegan Road, "McHenry, III., 60050". "ON INDICTMENT "Editor: " Certain financial records of Crystal Lake Community High School District 155 were sub­ poenaed by the Grand jury of McHenry county. "State's Attorney William Cowlin informed me that the Grand jury requested that I appear before them. I did so voluntarily. I answered all of the questions put to me by the Grand jury. "The Grai^I jury returned Bills of Indictment against me vhtf I charging me with the offense® of "Interest in Contracts . Specifically the indictments charged that in the years 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974 whikf I held the elected office of school board member for Crystal Lake Community High School District 155, I voted on the approval of the payment of certain purchases made by Crystal Lake Community High school from Ace Hardware of Crystal Lake, a corporation in which I have an interest. "As is apparent from the financial records of the school district, I did, while serving on the board of education, vote on the approval of purchases made by the school personnel from Ace Hardware. "I have entered a plea of not guilty to the indictments. It is my conviction that I acted at all times in the best interest of the school district and what I did was both moral and lawful, s "It will now be up to the courts to determine the propriety of my conduct.

The in­ crease, amounting to a straight 15 per cent on all tickets, was to have become effective Dec. 1. In making the an­ nouncement, C.C. Dilley, the railroad's general manager - passenger services, said that the increase had been made necessary by the sharply higher costs the railroad is experiencing in the operating of the service.
