RENEWED EFFORT TO DETACH PROPERTY FROM LOCAL DISTRICTS (Continued from page 1) 82 School Term Program as presented. Inbrief portion, it reads: "During the 1981-82 school year, District 15 will continue its effort to reduce the operating deficit in the Education fund. This will be the second fiscal year of significant budget restraint. This policy is working very well, but the educational effect keeps the program for our boys and girls at little more than the basic education level". Approval was given to cafeteria prices for the school year ahead. Student lunches have been set at $.70. up $.20 from last year. Adult lunches will be $1.00 since daily federal regulations mandate adults be charged $.30 higher than students. The reduced price student lunch is $.25 and extra milk purchases are $.15 for a half pint carton.

But school teachers weren't the only ones struggling with the handicaps of their times. As we sit behind our computer and the miniature TV screen brings our words before us, we are reminded of a letter that came this week from Rose (Oertel) Simpson in Chicago. She recalled moving to McHenry with her parents before the turn of the century. We could almost share her memories as she continued, "I love this paper for I was a typesetter when Frank and Kathryn (Schreiner) were there and Miss Byrd was our proofreader. We were then behind Hoys bank (now the Chamber office on Green street) and my father worked for Barbian Bros, cigar factory. Later he went in for himself on Riverside Drive and called his cigar the Defender". If Mrs. Simpson had continued, she might have told us that while the school teachers were scrubbing the floors once a week, as set down in the rules, she was manipulating one of the awkward old linotype machines, which required their own share of skill to operate. Like the computers, they were only as good as the operator -&()!&?.

McHENRY, IL 385-0420 ^N/GARDEN lliiiilUdl ill! llfltlMu/ii Ilk ̂ ,.J U1/, MM nnces Do Not Include Attachments SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE Efforts to deter drunk drivers took a noticeable upward turn as a task force involving six Illinois and Wisconsin police agencies made its first ap­ pearance a recent weekend. Wisconsin police agencies logged 76 arrests, while their counterparts in Illinois detained 17 people. Not all of the arrests were for drunk driving, however. Twin Lakes Police department of­ ficials reported making 11 arrests between 8:30 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday, which included one driving while intoxicated charge. Twin Lakes police also charged another 25 drivers* with various driving offenses, including two drunk driving, between the hours of 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday. The Wisconsin State police made another 21 arrests Friday and nine on Saturday, which included a total of five drunk drivers, in addition to the other traffic offenses. In Illinois, Richmond police arrested three drunk drivers, charged seven people with having open liquor in a motor vehicle and issued seven speeding and miscellaneous citations. The task force was coordinated by the Twin Lakes police department, which reported that efforts at reducing drunk driving had been hampered by a lack of manpower. Twin Lakes Police Lt. Dan Chlebos said the influx of Illinois youths into Wisconsin often hampers traffic control and safety efforts. The legal drinking age in Wisconsin is 18, while in Illinois it was recently changed to 21. Lt. Chlebos said that a preliminary report indicated the number of ac­ cidents in the Twin Lakes area dropped from three or four per weekend night to one this past weekend. Richmond Police Chief Andrew Mayer, who pointed to a 400 percent increase in drunk driving arrests on the Illinois side of the state line in 1961 over as he noted that they were just getting into the traffic control effort when one of their two patrol cars was hit Saturday night by a drunk driver, which reduced the patroling capacity by half. Both police officers feel the success of the weekend crackdown should make it possible for various police agencies in Wisconsin or Illinois to call for unan­ nounced crackdowns if the accident rates continue to increase.
