Police also investigated a burglary at the home of Curtis White, 5315 Thelen road, McHenry. Apparently, siqmeone ottered his garage and stole a power saw, a band saw, and an electric rotary hammer. ;Lloyd Turner told police that someone stole 250 linear feet of board from a construction site of a home he is building at 718 Wegner road, McHenry. Adams Auto Body, 1811 W. Rt. 120, McHenry, reported that someone entered a fenced-in areit behind the shop and broke windows on several autos. • Finally, police also in­ vestigated vandalism at the Home of Carmie Esposito, 2748 $inob Hill road, McHenry. An explosion had been heard during the night, and it was discovered that the mailbox was shattered, apparently through the use of a large firecracker. BLEAK OUTLOOK FOR SCHOOL FUNDING ; (Conttaw4 U > money became available, and a bond referendum were passed, the district would not save $300,000 in operational coats to one building, according to Cepulis, would be only because the Task Force feels the students should be together. Althoff also asked the Force what it felt the public reaction would be should East campus be sold, and then torn down. ,j, Prust said that "the majority of the committee does not feel it would be a problem." However, Bob Mortell noted the public outcry when the grade school district attempted to tear down Landmark. Landmark school, of course, still stands. School board member Ed­ ward Neumann expressed PI IIKIHED sentiment against any plan to n,T™w°l sell East campus. "I don't see how this is all going to balance out," he said. "I can't see how you can sell a building (East) at five dollars a square foot, and replace it with a building coating thirty dollars a square foot, yet we can't spend another five dollars a square foot on repairing East. "From an aesthetic and architectural point of view, I have no problems with East campus," Neumann added. "It's a fine, traditional school and I hope it remains for a long time." Althoff noted that if there are no CDB funds available, and the district continues With a "band aid" approach to repairing East, then the district may need a "band aid" referendum. The board president added that he didn't believe that CDB money would be available for a "recycling" of East campus. The way things now stand, as far as McHenry is concerned, there isn't CDB money for * anything. Althoff and Swantz urged the Task Force to contact its state representatives to see if anything could be done. V It was even suggested that the Task Force could call a meeting of this district's representatives to see if someone would introduce a bill which would specifically help McHenry. In answer to a question, Prust confirmed that the Task Force recommends a tax rate referendum, different from a bond referendum^ that it is a permanent tax increase, only after all students are housed in <me building. With the hopes for state funding extremely slim, the board took no position Tuesday night on when, or if, a tax referendum to increase the school tax rate should be held. The Veterans administration has ended its prepayment policy for persons enrolled in educational programs. v THE WORD fOX OUR WEEKEND , A SPECIALS ALL DINNERS INCLUDE: 'SOUP OR JUICE, GARDEN SALAD, POTATO 4 VEGETABLE, HOT LOAF OF BREAD & BUTTER.

Swants focused on the present situation (the split of District 156 to create a new District 12 high school) ss something out of his control. "I guess I didn't get in the business for that", he stated. MI did it to take care of students' need^'. In answer to a suggestion that the loss of two superin­ tendents would be a serious one (Dr. Robert Boos resigned from District 15 in May), the administrator expressed sincere optimism. "If the right people are selected, it could be a blessing in disguise", he noted, adding that it might give school problems a fresh point of view. "Sometimes, when you are very close to a situation", he concluded, "you can't see the forest for the trees".

Independence Bells The Bicentennial is over, but the need for patriotism should not be forgotten for another hundred years. Patriotic Americans have celebrated July 4 ever since that day in 1776 when the Bell of Liberty joyously proclaimed this country's independence. Almost half a century after Thomas Jefferson composed the Declaration of Independence, he reverently spoke these words, "I pray God that these principels may be eternal." Ringing the bells on the Fourth of July helps to keep these principles alive in the hearts of the American people. The Kishwaukee Trail chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution urges churches, schools, fire stations, and individuals to ring bells at 1 p.m. Independence day.

Oh, not in the same words* but tli^pipaoi^^as tfie a same- ) j j. ti.wiiio ooiife The first was my frienu, Ray"Taylo^ priving together from Springfield to Vandalia, Ray said to me, "You know^ I never like to go away from church feeling I've been ' ' nagged at." Ray, who is retired after a long career with the Internal Revenue Service, expresses my feelings, too. When I worship, I want a lift. I crave something to live by, not to cry over. The same week, on tele- ^ vision, Art Linkletter talked about parents. "Make sure you compliment your kids -- more than you criticize them," .. Art,said. He pointed out that if we're continually down on our youngsters, we may destroy their self-esteem, which is deadly to anyone, young or old. I guess. Art was saying that if we point outjolneone's weaknesses 49% of the time, just make sure we say something nice 51% of the time! The same week, I saw the movie, "Bound for Glory," the life story of American folk-singer Woody (Woodrow Wilson) Guthrie. The film describes that portion of life from 1936-40 when he was a vagabond singer, plucking his s. guitar across America, hopping freight trains, trying to eke out a living during the Great Depression. We remember Woody for writing such favorites as 'This Land Is Your Land," MHobo Lullaby," "Those Oklahoma Hills Where I Was Born)' and 44The Union Song" (to the tune of "Red­ wing"). The film closed by quoting Woody, "I never liked a song that put anybody down. I don't care who yoiyue -- how fat or thin, how poor or rich, how black or wrote. A song should make you feelgood about yourself." Thank you Ray. Tharik you Art. Thank you Woody. R. I. Hastings is editor of The Illinois Baptist in Springfield Need it...Rent it!
