fAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER HOW TO BECOME A WINNER... (Continued from page 1) engine park'. They played and I bunted, first the big rock, then the band -shelter, then the picnic tables. I met a young woman there who had recently moved to McHenry from Elgin and I told her what I was doing. She hadn't heard about the treausre hunt, but she wished me luck. "Thursday night we got the Plaindealer and it had two clues in it. The second clue was North, South, East, West, you decide which is best'. We took out the map from the phone book and found a West street, a South street, a North drive and a North avenue and an Eastern street. We also tried to determine if there was Something on each side of town, like a church, school, park or something. "Friday morning it occurred to me that at the entrance to the city was a Welcome to McHenry sign and a population sign. So I packed the kids in the car and we checked those out. At the north sign the grass was *3 foot high and I could tell ^someone had walked around by fcthe sign so I searched to no ^avail On the east side there is vnone. £ "I was frustrated.. £ "After school we got the third >clue about the bridge. There •lare nine bridges in McHenry. '^My son and one of his friends ,-checked out the bridge at ^Whispering Oaks. They didn't "Jind anything. £ "So after I started supper cooking I took three of my other children and walked down to Jhe bridge by the police station. AVe hunted all over around Ihere and started home and decided to check out the island py Green street and Waukegan road. It was such an obvious 3)lace that I didn't really think it FRIDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1977 would be there. But there it was taped under the green urn. *> "A man and a woman were down by the bridge obviously searching. After I got home and told my son, he went back to see where we had found it and some man in a car said someone's got it already, so he had looked too. If we hadn't found it, someone else would have done so within the hour. "We are moving out of McHenry and this is a real nice going-away present. "We had fun looking. We probably spent ten hours in all gathering the clues and searching and that works out to $100 per hour. Nice work if you can get it**! Nice work, indeed, Lorette Rogers.

Final Interviews For College President Held When the board of trustees for McHenry County college held a special meeting recently, the first order of business was a presidential candidate interview. Out of 171 applicants for the position of president, several had been invited by the board for an interview. Three were then selected for a second interview. The board has held a second interview for two of the ap­ plicants and the third candidate was on camous for his second interview recently. In other busineiss the board tabled until the regular October meeting any action on the cooperative agreement with Elgin Community college relative to the nursing program. Gerald Smith, chairman from Woodstock, requested that the board committee (formed at the regular September meeting) meet with two Elgin Com­ munity college board members and the deans of instruction of both colleges. The MCC board committee meeting with MCC administration to review the agreement are Dr. Bill Ryan, Crystal Lake, and Gerald Smith. Action was taken on a request from the Illinois Capital Development board. The request in the form of a letter stated..."recent legislation enacted provides that federal monies received by benefiting agencies, departments, in­ stitutions, etc., for capital projects be remitted to the CDB. The purpose of this legislation is to provide for the utilization of federal funds. These federal funds may be used during construction or used to replace state bond funds after the completion of a project." The action taken by the board was that no funds be returned to Springfield because of questions of validity. The matter will be referred to the board's legal counsel. The board also received communicat ions from Governor Thompson stating that he had signed Senate Bill 1149. As a result of the bill, community college elections will be held in November of each odd-numbered year, beginning in 1979. The bill is designed to consolidate all ejections in the State. It allows only five times during each two-year period at which public officials can be elected and referenda can be subject to vote.

He also coaches football at Cary Grove high school and baseball at Crystal Lake high school. ASC Mail Elections Slated Only a few days remain to nominate farmers as can­ didates in the upcoming Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASC) community committee elec­ tions, reminds Jim Lucas, county executive director, McHenry county ASCS office. First duty of the newly elected community committee members will be to serve as delegates to elect new mem­ bers to the county ASC com­ mittee. Lucas reminds producers that this is an im­ portant occasion for the responsible, farmer-chosen team of ASC community committeemen who will help adminis ter government programs. The ASC community com­ mittee election will be con­ ducted by mail from Nov. 25 to Dec. 5. By turning in a total of six or more petitions, farmers in each ASC community have the opportunity to prepare the slate of nominees themselves. Lucas hopes that farmers will submit enough valid petitions to fill the slate. Shortly after Oct. 31, all petitions will be reviewed. If six or more valid petitions have been received for an ASC community, the county ASCS office will prepare a slate containing the names of all eligible nominees. If less than six valid petitions are received for any ASC community, the job of slate completions will be turned over to the incumbent community committee, which will add nominees needed to complete the slate. The county ASC committee will review all community slates prior to the mail election and will advise all candidates of the duties of ASC com­ mitteemen. In order to submit a valid petition, three or more ASC farm voters must sign a statement endorsing an eligible candidate. The statement must include certification that the nominee will serve if elected. Petitions must be dated and mailed or hand-delivered to the county ASC office no later than Nov. 1.
