The director will tally and announce the results. * The vote not to reappoint Floeter and Pitluck brought about a storm of protest from a number of county organizations and the private sector. One such organization, the Juvenile Court Watch Project committee, recently garnered 3,000 signatures in a petition drive in support of Pitluck and Floeter. The petitions were presented to Chief Justice Jack Hoogasian on Monday. The McHenry County Republican Central committee' passed a resolution at a recent meeting in support of filling a "fair share" of associate justice positions from residents within the county. According to the resolution, the law provides that the number of associate justices authorized for the 19th Judicial Circuit is one per 35,000 people. The resolution further stated that the central committee is com­ mitted to "the principal that McHenry county is entitled to its fair share of Associate Justices who are residents of McHenry county."

Trobe, Waukegan; Lawrence J. Weiner, Barrington; Ludolph J. Wilson, Waukegan; and Mark M. Zide, Waukegan. Members of the McHenry and Lake county bar associations and the public have until July 1 to comment, either favorably or unfavorably, on these applicants. Comments should be addressed to Chief Justice Jack Hoogasian, Lake County Courthouse, 18 N. County St., Waukegan, 111., 60085. The comments will be brought to the attention of all the circuit justices before they cast their ballots. If any communication contains a particular charge against an applicant, that person will have the opportunity to appear before the judges and answer the charge. After July 1, the Circuit justices, sitting as a committee of the whole, shall select twice as many names as there are positions. The names of these candidates will be certified by the chief justice and sent to the Director of the Administrative office of the Illinois Courts. The director of the administrative Board Hires Landfill Consultant technicians, geologists and en­ vironmental engineers who are ex­ perienced in evaluation and design of landfills and site identification, ac­ cording to Jerome S. Chudzik, a senior partner in the company, who made a presentation Wednesday to the committees. The firm has more than 20 years experience in environmental and municipal engineering and will offer the supplemental services of D'Ap- polonia consulting engineers of Milwaukee to provide additional expertise in hydro-geological in­ vestigation. Chudzik, who will be the project engineer for the McHenry county landfill application review, said his firm was familiar with the new Illinois siting law on landfills, could provide expert testimony and was ex­ perienced in working with govern­ mental agencies. Procedures for filing a landfill application in the county require the applicant to publish notice of filing 14 days in advance. The application must be filed with the county clerk with copies of all site plans, exhibit^ and maps plys a (Continued on page 18) Fireworks Display Slated Tim Althoff, chairman of the Fireworks committee, reminds McHenryiles that McHenry will have their 3rd annual fireworks display on July 4th at Petersen park. There will be plenty of parking and parking assistance provided. Althoff promises an aerial display that will outdo the quality and quantity of the last twe years' displays. McHenry's display was scheduled on the actual date of our In­ dependence Day anniversary in order to provide the traditional celebration right here at home. It is the com­ mittee's intent to eliminate the need to drive a distance to enjoy the special excitement of fireworks and what they represent to free Americans. Besides being an appropriate celebration of our Independence, attending the fireworks here at home becomes a great way to see numerous friends at one time. Arriving early will allow plenty of socializing time before the show begins. Bringing your own lawn blankets and lawn chairs will add greatly to your comfort. Petersen park is on McCullom Lake road, just west of Route 31. The display will begin at appropriate darkness. of those we saw with close ties with McHenry's early years. One of them was Harry Ferwerda, whose memories must have taken him back to the dairy his family owned and operated on east Elm street. As a youngster, we remember making regular visits to the steam-filled little room where we were fascinated watching the bottling operation as Harry's mother filled our needs. Alvin Baur was another whose thoughts were probably more on the past than the present. He brought with him an interesting miniature model of the family's ice house and the cutting operation that took place on the mill pond on Elm street about 50 years ago. Earlier days in McHenry schools were recalled by the presence of Arleen Pearson of Ringood, who was one of the popular teachers locally for so many years, extending back to the one-room country schools. Earl "Marty" Conway supplied the museum with stereoscopes once used in Landmark school. Director Nancy Fike' has plans to make good use of them when the museum is visited by school children. There were Indian artifacts from Louis Pitzen, and the first tyrophy given by the McHenry Country club in the early 'twenties, won by the late Eber Bassett. Other contributors for the day, or as permanent gifts to the museum, came from the Charles Vycitals, Walter (Continued on page 18) No one was there to verify or dispute the story, but Earl Walsh, guest speaker at McHenry day at the county's Historical museum, told a story of old McHenry that brought chuckles froiq the record size audience of 250. The year was 1887, and old timers of another era say it was a fact that someone moved the city's post office from Riverside drive (formerly Water street) to West McHenry in the middle of the night. No one would admit to the act, but there it was suddenly tran­ splanted to a part of the community that was then a rival for business with the Riverside area. West McHenry was the home of So I Hear, who also recalled a later period in time when the train was met l?y horse and buggy. There was never more than one bag of mail but it was distributed to a post office lobby filled with eager recipients. The days of the Indians were also recalled, especially an incident on Irish prairie, south of Bull Valley road in th^e McHenry Shores area. One morning Earl's grandmother was hangihg up wash when she was ap­ proached by an. Indian who had crossed the river from the Hickory Grange area. He asked for food, then grabbed starch she was using for the wash and swallowed it., Earl observed that here was "one stiff Indian without fire water". These memories of old McHenry set the mood for an afternoon of reminiscing. , It would be impossible to recall all McHenry county residents, representing a variety of church affiliations, Join three young people at the base of Sherman hill in their walk around the world for peace. McHenry's former minister Ralph Smith and two others marched with the Peace Walkers from Marengo to Woodstock, where they were met h* nine residents from McHenry, Johnsburg, Woodstock and Cary-Grove. The walk gives a message of peace and support for a freeze on nuclear arms by both the U.S. and Russia.
