V v- •••• » . City Attorney Narusis. Remember when "Good morning" was the standard greeting? Maybe we meant it, maybe we didn't. Most of the time we dkbi't bother to think whether we did or not. It was just the thing to do. Now the standard remark, without a thought, is "Have a nice day". A friend- entered the emergency room of a nearby hospital with a serious hand injury "the other day. With much difficulty he signed the necessary papers in spite of the handicaps of a metal splint and an oversize It was time to leave and the young lady at the desk who had witnessed his dif- Ity said with enthusiasm, ive a nice day". ide the bandage, the half severed finger must have turned green. But early Sunday someone said to us, "Have a nice day" and we did. Part of the reason was because a little McHenry girl grew up and returned to her home city to demon­ strate a talent that may well bring McHenry into the news in the years ahead. Less than 20 years ago Carol Leighty was riding her tricycle up and down the sidewalk in front of her Main street home. Last Sunday, just a block down the road, in the church she has attended all her life, she brought an audience of about 350 to their feet in a vocal recital to benefit its building fund. She stood singing with a smile of confidence that was un­ deniable evidence this young lady was aware that her listeners were suddenly her devoted fans. For the most part, she sang in German and not all of her selections had a highly melodie - line. The en­ thusiasm of an audience that included many not trained in music was inspiring, for they recognized the tremendous talent without the frills of a popular vehicle.

On Sunday, Sept. 22, the McHenry Community High School Teachers' association voted to reinstate in­ formational picketing before and after school hours in the hope of breaking the deadlock in contract negotiations with the District 156 board of education. The , association also voted to implement a work slowdown for Wed­ nesday, Thursday and Friday in order to further the board toward a set­ tlement. The associa t ion spokesman said members agreed to meet next weekend to either ratify a contract or to implement a motion from an earlier meeting which provides for a strike vote. According to the Teachers' Woman Dies In Family Argument A family dispute ended with the death of a Marengo woman shortly before midnight Sept. 21. According to McHenry (Continued on page 22) meaningful negotiations with the teachers by refusing to establish future meeting dates, "and more important to discuss benefits." On Thursday night, Sept. 18, the association said the board did offer the teachers a new proposal. In response, the Teachers' association negotiating team told the board they would take this new proposal back to the full association for a vote the next morning. Street Guide Arrives The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce has announced the arrival of the revised edition of the McHenry, Wonder Lake and Ringwood area Street and Road guide, complete with all the new streets, subdivisions, and industrial areas. This guide is a time honored reference source because the alphabetized listing of all the streets is keyed into the exact location on the appropriate page. Copies are now on sale at the Chamber office to the individual purchaser or may be purchased in quantity by merchants wishing to distribute them through their own businesses. They also said they asked the board to set up another negotiations meeting for this past weekend. At this point, they continued, the board's attorney informed the teachers that the board was not willing to talk any more about salary issues; "thus in effect shutting down all attempts by the teachers to reach a fair compromise." On Friday, Sept. 19, the teachers' negotiations team met with the full association at an early morning meeting and brought members up to date about the board's latest offer. The association spokesman said they were shocked to learn that the board's new proposal in­ volved a two-year contract since no previous proposals exchanged by either side included any multi-year agreement. This two year offer was even more unacceptable, they said, because no cost-0f. living language was written into the board's package. The teachers said they told the board last March they could not discuss a two-year contract unless it included a cost-of-living clause. Teachers were also in­ formed by their team that the two-year offer was the board's final offer and that the board had in­ formed the team that no further discussions on salary would talk place. The Teachers' association firmly rejected the board's ultimatum. The following statement was made by the association Monday morning: "Frustration by the teachers centers on more than what happend Thur­ sday and Friday. Of key importance is the fact that the board's most recent offers are for less total dollars to be r spent on benefits than what they offered the teachers in April. The teachers feel that by lowering their offers, the board is saying 'You're not worth the figure we quoted you in April.' Questions and Answers The - board of education of High School District 156 held a press conference Tuesday morning. Following are some of the questions asked and answered. The respondent was David Benrud, chairman of the board negotiating committee. Question--Is there any chance the board will • reconsider and increase the salary offer to the teachers?

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Lawsuit On Moths The lawsuit brought against the City of McHenry agd the state and federal Agriculture departments concerning the proposed use of the chemical pesticide, Sevin, was dismissed last Thursday, according to information received from The suit was brought last Spring. The petitioners, Robert and Claudia Dunn, Michael and Donna Shanahan and Michael Teta, who were represented by Attorney John E. Passarelli, sought an injunction which would prevent the spraying of Sevin in any form in the City of McHenry in 1960.
