Adults having part time work available are encouraged to call 338-7360, and youth seeking employment are welcome to* stop in and check for jobs. * The Youth Service bureau was able to operate the program successfully because of McHenry county citizens who helped meet the need for employment opportunities. Betty Messer Johnsburg School Hosts Open House James C. Bush elementary school in Johnsburg has been holding open house. Mr. May, principal, started off the event with an introduction to the teachers. He explained the aim and goal 6f the staff. His idea is that the children and teachers work and play together. Parents are invited to spend a day or two a week in the class rooms to aide the teachers and see their children at work. Mr. May is a strict disciplinarian, but the respect of the students at Bush school show his methods work. Parents were given an opportunity to sit in the classrooms and hold an open discussion with their child's teacher. Teachers explaining their goals and what they expect of their students. The learning center was open for parents to observe what their children do there. Afterward coffee and goodies were served in the multi­ purpose room. When you left after listening to Mr. May and talking to the teachers you came away feeling your children are getting the best education possible. Mr. May and his faculty are very dedicated and a credit to their profession.

Village Affairs Provide Lively Board Decisions The McCullom Lake village board met Tuesday, Sept. 27, and I have several reminders for villagers that stem from discussion at that meeting. Be sure to register your dogs with Lesley Curran, the village clerk, rather than sending away to the county for the rabies tag. The clerk, whose office is at 4807 W. McCullom Lake road, (look for the orange garage door and the village clerk sign on her mailbox) has hours from 3-7 p.m. Wednesdays and will be delighted to give you a tag right on the spot so that you won't have to wait for one to come in the mail. Another reminder from the board is to be sure to get building permits if you are building or remodeling at all. If you are unsure about whether you need a permit or not, call Frank Kurth or Tom Farrell, and they will be happy to inform you. You can be in for a nice fine if you start any work that needs a permit* without one, so be sure to be safe rather than sorry. There is a grade school referendum coming up Oct. 15, and the board reminds you all to vote to keep teachers in adequate supply, music, and athletics in our grade schools. I'll tell you where to vote next week. Stay tuned. So much for the reminders from our brilliant and busy board; now for some really good news. The lighting fixtures for the beach house have arrived, and are going to be installed in the very near future, so that there will be lots more light in the big beach house for all our activities. Get in on all this good news and plan to attend the next village board meeting, which will be held Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m., at the beach house. BEACH GALS The Beach Gals will be John Chapman's new heating system pulls energy out of thin air. John Chapman ol Woodndge is one ot the homeowners in northern Illi­ nois who recently installed a heat pump How'd he like it? "It's )ust been great-one unit that both heats and cools. It really does the job." says John How the heat pump works. Most heating systems heat Dy burning lossil fuels, like natural gas or oil The heat pump is dillerent It doesn t bum anything It uses electricity to move heat Irom one place to the other-heat that already exists Where9 In the air around us Even on cold, cloudy days, there s an abundance ot heat in the air-solar heat energy that the heat pump cap­ tures and moves indoors In warm weather, the process auto­ matically reverses tor cooling The heat pump captures excess indoor heat and humidity and removes them to the outside m..- •'< The Remarkable Electric Heat Pump. Better efficiency. Today the heat pump is the best al­ ternative to heating systems which consume scarce fossil fuels. It taps an energy supply that's virtually limit - less-heat energy from the sun con­ tained in the air around us And it is the most practical system to capture solar energy efficiently In northern Illinois the heat pump, based on average performance for a heating-season, can deliver more than 1-1/2 units ol heat energy lor every unit it consumes. This means the heat pump not only saves energy, it can also gen­ erate long-term operating cost savings II you want additional heat pump information, call your local Commonwealth Edison office and talk to one of our marketing engineers To get the full advantages of the heat pump, it's important to get a quality product, properly installed and ser­ viced For the name of qualified installers in your area, call G W Berkheimer Co (Westinghouse Distn- butors). 312-374-4411, General Electnc Co, 312-496-6200.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 6, 1927) The McHenry county board of supervisors met in special session at the courthouse Tuesday morning for the purpose of making some decision on a bill rendered by the McQueeny Detective agency in regard to services performed in McHenry county on violation of the prohibition law. The total bill presented by the McQueeny agency for services amounted to $4,885.76. This was for work over a period of three months. Fifty-eight true bills were returned against McHenry county officials and road house owners by the federal grand jury Wednesday of last week. These indictments were presented to Judge Adam C. Cliffe at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. The indictments are an outgrowth of the investigation made during the months of July and August, in which some officials were implicated. Former State's Attorney A.H. Pouse was charged with collecting $7,000 for liquor and $13,000 for slot machines. Other arrests are expected in the next few days. Members of the McHenry Kiwanis club assembled at the Niesen cafe last Thursday evening for their regular weekly dinner meeting. A committee was appointed to cooperate with the Fox River Community Protective association in working against the placing of another dam in the river above McHenry. Delegates were also selected to attend the Kiwanis convention in Champaign next week. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 7, 1937) Problems of major interest to the city of McHenry confronted our City Council at the regular meeting on Monday evening of this week. After the whirl of a busy summer in McHenry, the board members are now looking forward to improvement which must be made this fall. For instance, our city water supply is hardly adequate, should an exceptionally dry summer necessitate more than the usual consumption. The Waterworks committee will secure information regarding methods used in other municipalities and report the advisability of certain changes at the next meeting of the Council. An undercurrent of excitement prevails at the Community high school this week, when plans and arrangements are being made for the big benefit dance Saturday night at the Fox pavilion. This dance is being given for the benefit of the football team which leaves Oct. 22 for Stafford, Kan., where they will compete with the Stafford high school team. Every effort is being put forth to make this dance a big success and it is hoped that at least $100 may be cleared for the benefit of the team. Vale Adams won the Stenger cup in the golf finals Sunday when he defeated Roger Goettsche at the McHenry Country club. The end of a successful season is drawing to a close at the Country club with good crowds throughout the week as well as on Sundays bringing the registrations up to exceed those of last year. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 16, 1952) The Cub Scouts will start their collection of pop bottles this week. The boys, in their blue and gold uniforms, have a two-fold purpose in this campaign: first to provide funds for equipment and handicraft projects the boys will put to good use, and secondly, to enable the people to dispose of bottles which may have been accumulating in basements, attics, and garages. According to a report by County Clerk Raymond D. Woods, 1,145 new registrants were received at the final precinct registration day Oct. 7 in the county. Added to the 603 who registered Sept. 20, new registrants totaled 1,753. A diamond-studded lapel pin commemorating ten years of of TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files October 11, 1967) McHenry has taken a firm hold of second place among county municipalities in the amount of sales tax collected for a three-month period. This is the second consecutive period in which the city rated just under the top. For city sales tax collected in May, June, July on tax liability for April, May, and June, McHenry received $32,136. Topping the county was Crystal Lake with $38,029 and Woodstock ranked third with $28,023. Five MCHS seniors were announced this week as commended students on the recent National Merit Testing program. They are Libby Stinespring, Susan Robertson, Mike Wahls, JoAnne Rink and Tim Morck., At the regular meeting of the board of Consolidated School District 15, held Monday evening, > names were announced of several members of the Citizen Advisory committee now being formed. The first selection includes Ed Buss, William Ward, and Mrs. Leonard Pawlikowski of McHenry, Gerald Elbersen of Wonder Lake, and Myra Murray of McCullom Lake. At a special meeting of the McHenry City Council, the issue of handling future traffic along Crystal Lake road was die main topic of discussion. Original plans submitted by Ladd Enterprises for the development of Boone Valley of Whispering Oaks designated a frontage road which would keep some area traffic off Crystal Lake road. This fruited on both the proposed Bcnool sfie and the planned area t6r neighborhood shopping center. As the new high school progressed, the subdivision's subdividers proposed that the frontage road be abandoned. School board members also expressed some doubt as to its advisability. A final decision was postponed until the regular meeting to give time for the second report to be submitted.
