It was noted there are nine full time conservation officers in the immediate area working full time. It was felt that at any given time, four or five officers are within ten minutes of the McHenry dam area. On Saturdays and Sundays, there would be someone stationed at the park full time. Squad cars are equipped with radios and are in direct communication with state police headquarters at Elgin, officials said. Law enforcement was considered in the planning of the park. There will be two entrances, the main one on River road and another on Lily Lake road. Gatehouses will be situated at each entrance to control the use ot the park. Signs will be erected at State Route 120 and River road and State Route 176 and River road directing visitors to the park. It is hoped county police would be called on only to assist Conservation officers and state police when emergency situations arise. It was pointed out that a ranger would reside on the site to direct park operations.

He felt there might be problems also from people who come into McHenry after the park closes for the night. Comerio said his department took the optimistic viewpoint that rather than cause trouble, "we hope these people might provide revenue for the area". However, he said the State would cooperate in solving any problems which might occur. Kenneth Zabielski of Fernwood subdivision mentioned that subdivision's problems with flooding. A sod farm which had been in that area had installed a pump which alleviated some of the flooding problems regarding an entrance road to the subdivision. The state had removed that pump when development of the park began and it was feared by residents that their road may again be flooded out during seasonal rises on the river. Zabielski asked if the State would be willing to reimburse residents of Fernwood for raising their entrance road. Camerio said he had been in communication by letter with Zabielski on this problem and it was determined that since this problem occurred before the development of the park began, the State would not contribute toward raising the road. However, he said he and his Conservation staff would be willing to check out the area following this meeting and determine if there were other solutions available for that problem. Glos asked numerous questions during the meeting. He specifically asked when abandoned buildings in the area would be torn down since some were becoming overnight camping hangouts and causing concern to area residents. Jim Berle, landscape architect with the park project, explained that the "Demolition Project" had been put out to bid and the Black Fox Construction company of Chicago will begin taking down all abandoned buildings on park property in the very near future. All concrete foundations will be cut down at least 3 feet below the surface and rough grading will be done. This will take place in the next several months. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) newspaper office for the first time, it was to meet a very small crew that consisted of the publisher, his wife, a com­ posing room foreman and linotype operator. Publisher "Mose" was a very special kind of person who had great 'trust in his fellow man. Otherwise he would not have decided on a three-week trip to Alaska, leaving in charge a writer who had been on the job only a month. Not only did we write in those days, we also waited on counter; took care of the whereabouts of 500 ser­ vicemen who were continually being moved here and there; and tried our hand at the ob­ stinate folder that insisted on clogging up papers when there was static in the air. One Thursday we filled in reading hot metal type upside down and backwards and in doing so acquired the weekly task of setting up the front page. Only the advent of offset printing relegated the job to someone else. Then there was Mrs. "Mose", who spent two days j a week at the office, reading proof and generally overseeing activities. It was pleasant to have another lady around for some "girl talk". Incidentally, in those days there was time for that kind of thing. On entering the office the first day we were warned to "give as good as you get" when working with Foreman Harry Frye. His was a pleasant smile, sometimes a sharp tongue, and behind it all a heart "That's all right, Mrs. Nutmeg. We invite new drivers to JERRY'S." JERRY'S"66" AUTO cREPAIR 4713 W.

Lyle Franzen, a handsome young man with stars in his eyes for a medical career, was building up his bank account to study by running the linotype machine. Lyle was a "whiz" at the keyboard, and more than occasionally offered us good advice that remained just as valid many years later. The MosTiers, Harry and Lyle are gone, and we regret that they cannot share with us the pleasure of recalling some of the history they helped to record. More recently, we worked with others who also left their mark as contributors to this record. Jackie Guffey, an excellent linotype operator; Patti Frett, who worked on the first sections of the centennial paper; Marcella Larsen and Betty Groth, who worked in the circulation department - these are but a few who helped record a citv's proud history.
