Mary Law Leimert The condition of Donald Berkâ€" ley, 19, of Lake Forest, injured in the early Fridayauto crash, in which George Freberg, 20, of Highland â€" Park and Margaret Cooper, 16, of Lake Forest, lost their lives, is, at this writing, reâ€" ported â€" as "fair", . with little change. According to medical reâ€" port, Berkley suffered lacerations of face and shoulders and possible fracture of shoulder and collar Donald Duffy, 16, of Highland Park, also injured in the crash, was dismissed from the hospital after treatment for ankle injury and concrete burns. Certainly all of the fault doesn‘t lie with parents, police, schools, the youngsters themselves, or even with cars that are built to go faster than we are built to drive them. Perhaps the answer lies in a combinaâ€" tion of these factors. Wherever it lies, we must bear in mind that if we don‘t find it, the price just paid will be paid againâ€"and more than once. And it could hapâ€" pen in your family. * who suffered knee injury and conâ€" crete burns, is reported to be in No more powerful editorial has ever been pubâ€" lished than the mute, but terrible message of the twisted pile of junk standing in the lot at Gord Leonâ€" ard‘s service station. Neither has any editorial ever brought a warnâ€" ing to more Highland Parkers. All week long a steady stream of crowds has filed into the lot to look at what is left of what was once a new automobile, a new autoâ€" mobile which, in the process of becoming a twisted pile of junk, took two lives, seriously injured two other passengers and, capriciously, let one escape with minor injuries. _ . _ . . And even though the message being brought to Highland Parkers by that wrecked convertible is a powerful and moving one, the price of bringing was too high. j Condition Of Donald Berkley, Crash Victim, Reported Fair Vol. 40 ; No. 27 Mary Dunn, 17, of Lake Forest, Up To Now 'By Bill Thomas Committee members for the anâ€" nual benefit dessert bridge party of the North Shore Chapter, D.A.R., have been making plans to insure its repeated success, The SePtémber 19th at 1:00 p.m. in the new American Legion Buildâ€" ing, 1957 Sheridan Rd.

Committee for the Polio Beneâ€" _ ‘"The figures shown in the tabuâ€" lation likewise are not a compariâ€" son of operating costs of these 1v:rio_us schools since they include ithe variable factor of assessed property valuation: The school tax rate is determined by dividâ€" ingâ€"the annual school budget by the assessed property valuation of the school district. In . a school district where the value of homes throughout the entire district is high, this of course spreads the school cost over a much higher property valuation and results in a lower tax rate. t “T!!fn too, in a school district where" many of the sons and daughters attend private schools or where the average number of school age children per family is small, the number of students in the high school in proportion to total property valuation is reducâ€" edâ€" and the school tax rate is automatically lower. "The cost of education per stuâ€" dent in the Highland Park high high schools of like educational standards. In the tax bill of that year, the tax payers of our disâ€" trict 113 actually paid a someâ€" what lower taxin proportion to the ‘number of residential high school students than our neighboring tax ’ptyers of New Trier‘ township and Shield Township which ‘also have efficient and economically lo’pented high schools. > _ This Friday, August 31, from 12 noon to 7 p.m. the polls will be open for the residents of school district 113 to. decide whether they want to vote a new "tax maximum" to permit the high school to meet the increased costs resulting from inflation and inâ€" creased enrollments. The rates upon which the citiâ€" zens vote are not the tax rates for next year. They are the cusâ€" tomary â€"rate limitation Whichâ€"the Board of Education must operâ€" ate in future years until this limiâ€" Irl H. Marshall of Deerfield, President of the high «gehoo Board of Education, says: "The board has had several people ask why the chart and tabulation pubâ€" lished last ‘week in the Highland Park News can be interpreted as higher education costs for Highâ€" land Park schools when the actuâ€" ‘"The charts do not reflect relâ€" ative school costs. They merely show for each district the ratio of all school taxes to municipal taxes and all of the other various taxes, There is a tremendous variâ€" ation in these ‘other‘ taxes in the cities used in the chart with the result that where these other taxes are much higher than in Highland Park to total tax bill is higher and therefore the school tax is obviously.â€"a smaller porâ€" tion of the total. al "tax per pupil" for our high school is less than in similar neighboring school districts. Board of Education Interprets Chart And Tabulation ‘"The budget approved by the Board for the operation of the Highland Park High School next year will permit the same standâ€" ard of education as in the past.

Wolâ€" ters, Principal; Mr. Irl Marshall, President of the Board; Mr. Samâ€" uel Rosenthal and Mr. Emilio Cadamagnani, Board members; and Miss Lillian Tucker, Secreâ€" tary, were present. â€" high school to make it possible to meet current operating costs. In his talk Mr. Marshall exâ€" plained that in comparing the operational expenses of schools in similar communities many varyâ€" ing factors Wad to be considered. Many feel that one important measuring stick is the cost per pupil. Even this comparison must take. into consideration transporâ€" tation, vocational â€"training and. domestic science departments not offered by all schools. Our servâ€" ices in this sort of thing are high, yet our per pupil cost is lower than other schools in this area. He also stated that it was difficult to campare the percentage of our lhi dollar that was spent on eduâ€" cational services because it provâ€" ed not that our school costs were high, but that our ~government casts wereâ€"low. _ _Mr. Wolters told the meeting that we must maintain a comparâ€" able level of salaries for our teachers or risk the danger of losing them to other schools. Should the referendum fail, the high school would be forced to curtail these salarigs." Deerfield Township Voters Association Endorses Referendum Mr. Rosenthal, in his talk, exâ€" plained that the increasedâ€" tax. limit would make it possible to â€" meet current expenses and a"ow‘ for increasing costs that may arise during the next few yem.‘ Discussing the relationship beâ€" tween the budget and‘ the tax limit requested, he said that the‘ budget now was based gn 70.6 cents per $100 assessed valuation, ‘ based on the latest known figures, and that the referendum would. put a 90 cent limit on future budâ€". gets. This would allow for inâ€" cregsed costs due to inflation and increased enrolliment. In figuring the budget every precaution was taken to assure maximum econoâ€" my. Competitive bids on supplies and services had â€" been checked back to the source until the Board was satisfied that costs . were ‘vfiinimum. All possible maintenâ€" ance andâ€" repairs have been deâ€" ferred into future years because the Board realizes that the buildâ€" ing is of secondary l’mportqnce to the teaching and maintenance staff. He stressed that in order to maintain the level of educaâ€" tion of previous years the budget is an absolute minimum. Should the referendum fail at least $70,â€" 000 would have to ‘be trimmed from the budget. Since theebudget is now a minimum, severe sacriâ€" fices jeopadizing the standing of high school would be foreed. * H.P.
