VIEW GROWTH OF McHENRY (Continued from pajre 1) automatically," he added "The speed of growth is not as important as the nature of the growth " Bolger discussed the im­ portance of larger lots in automatically limiting the growth of an area "We should have larger lots in areas such as Bull Valley, where people expect it to be like that," he said "The way the lots in Glacier Ridge sold with no problem, even though they were large lots," he continued, " was an education to me " Bolger also spoke of the need for the city and other govern­ ments to buy land to be used as park space to keep some land open He said that the city is contemplating purchasing the Knox farm with the possible help of new legislation making it profitable, to be used as park land "Any progressive city must control its boundaries," said Stanek. "and should control development on its boun­ daries." Stanek explained that an­ nexing contiguous property, when possible, is necessary so that the city can establish the type of community it desires "Although some annexation agreements in the past have been rather loose," he said, "from now on nothing will be implied Everthing will be explicitly explained." The city officials all ex­ pressed concern for the large crowds who attended recent public hearings concerning the proposed annexation of the RDG-Backhaus farm property "Our hearings are usually- handled in a calm, serious manner." said Alderman Harker, "without the rabble- rousing golden oratory of a hired mouthpiece " Harker explained that the city leaders appreciate the concern of city residents, but that serious discussion and negotiations with developers need to replace the "rabble- rousing " "People must remember that we must treat all developers equal." said Smith. "RDG is no different than any other developer and must be treated fairly " Smith explained that the Council will get whatever answers are available to questions posed by concerned citizens concerning any an­ nexation and also other questions "We need to ask whether a proposed annexation will fit in. whether we can afford it, will it help the city and," he added, "what damage it will do to the city " All the city officials agreed that the city was presently in a healthy financial situation, and thus would not be forced into a compromising situation "We will not compromise from weakness," said Stanek "We realize that construction is a major industry in our com­ munity and our finest industry, but we don't need any grief We will not break even, everything must give the citv a plus." MUSIN'AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) Lake, through McHenry These people with a mathematical mind say this is about 50 miles for five days and they boggle our mind by telling us these sixty trips at 50 miles make the giant's buses travel 3,000 miles a week on this one route They say two drivers probably get $400 a week and if it costs forty cents to run every one of those 3,000 miles, this comes to $1,600 to operate Bus 806 every week The giant says there are 400 riders a week on that bus and each of them pays fifty cents a ride So the poor giant can turn his pockets inside out and he won't lose. He only took in $200. He spent $1,600. We don't understand this story at all We grew up when fairy stories had a happy en­ ding and we could understand real stories if they were simple enough RTA giant promised to be simple Then why don't we understand the story?

Individuals interested in this program can apply for delayed reenlistment at any con­ solidated base personnel office (CBPO) in the continental United States Application must be made far enough in advance for reenlistment to take place before the three month eligibility period ex­ pires Applicants can find out if a career job reservation is available for them prior to making the application by contacting any Air Force recruiting squadron or CBPO YEARBOOKS DELAYED The 1977--78 MCHS yearbooks have not arrived Those who have placed orders should watch the West campus marquee for date of arrival POETS CORNER LITTLE EAGLE Little eagle sat on a mountain top He was waiting for bis mom and pop Mom came along wfth something to eat.

Beating The Heat Team Studies Heart Victims "Can heart attacks be prevented by lowering cholesterol?" is the question facing a team of University of Minnesota doctors conducting a study of the relation between cholesterol and heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States, said Dr. Henry Buchwald, who heads the Twin Cities based study. Most heart trouble results form atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. The arteries of the body are tubes which must constantly supply blood con­ taining life-giving oxygen and nourishment to the heart and other organs. Atherosclerosis can gradually thicken and narrow arteries until blood can no longer flow through them, causing acute illness such as heart attack. A clue to the cause of atherosclerosis, according to Dr. Buchwald, may be that cholesterol, a fatty substance, is found in the diseased ar­ teries. Also, the amount of cholesterol found in the blood can predict, somewhat, how likely one is to have heart at­ tacks. Facts such as these have led many doctors to use various means to lower blood cholesterol in their patients. However, it is still uncertain whether such lowering can actually prevent heart attacks. The University of Minnesota research team is now at­ tempting to locate persons 30 through 59 years of age. who have had only one heart attack in the past thirty-six months Such persons may obtain more information about the study by calling the University of Minnesota Hyperlipidemia Study collect at 612-376-4494. Big Sum For ,Day Care Center One million dollars will be provided to states to audit the feeding programs in non-profit nurseries and day care centers that are financed, in part, by federal funds. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carol Tucker Foreman has announced. The money will go to thirty- seven states, the District of Columbia, Trust Territory and Virgin Islands, all of which participate in the child care food program. The program helps finance feeding programs in non-profit day care institutions. "We recognize that the states and other government units need additional funds to conduct these audits, particularly since they are required to audit institutions participating in the child care food program at least once every two years," Foreman said. The states and - other government units will receive audit funds that are equal to 2 percent of the total child care food program funds that were allocated two years ago, in 1976. Because the 1978 fiscal year ends Sept. 30, most states will be unable to use their audit funds this fiscal year, and for this fiscal year only, they may spend unused 1978 funds in 1979, Foreman said. Illinois will receive $54,124. Pro Painting Pointers How to Achieve Professional Looking Results ̂ SURFACES TO BE MINTED 11/ SHOULD BE FREE OF GREASE, I I / DUST AND DIRT.
