MEW COLUMN . ; A now column appears In the Plaindealer this week for residents of the McCullom Lake community. written by Mrs. Gertrude Wakofske. This , week's column appears on page 6. Anyone from JlcCullom Lake having news Is asked to call McHenry 673-R-2. HOTIC1 Spring Grove's mayor, John Rauen, and the village board isfeae a notice that all dogs must $ be tied up by May 1. A day long rain failed to deter the public from going to the polls last Saturday and casting their votes for the candidates of their choice for school board membership. In two places, an unusually high vote was recorded. The largest was at the city hall, Where two new members were elected to serve for three-year terms in accordance with new legislation stating that all Illinois school boards be of uniform size, each including seven members. There was also a third place to be fUled due to the fact that one of the board member's terms expired. Saturday's winners were George Hlller of Johnsburg with 5f>2 votes, Donald Howard of McHenry with 527 and Fred Marks of Wonder Lake with 327. Mr. Hiller's large vote was a good indication of the approval of residents of District 156 with his past service on the board. Vale Adams received 358 votes and Florence Engdahl 324, while James Downs was supported by 99 voters on a write-In basis. " Although more than 900 v^tes were cast in the district last Saturday, the vote was still more than 200 short of the record established more than fifteen years ago, when a contest between four candidates brought out 1410 voters. The latter figure is even more outstanding when one considers that McHenry was a much smaller community at that time. A winner was a loser Saturday, as evidenced by the voting totals. j Although Mr. Adams ran third highest in number of votes, Mr. MarkB, a Wonder Lake resident, will assume the third post on the- "board as a result of a law passed by the last legislature stating that should 30 per cent of the taxable property in any district be located in unincorporated territory, two members must be elected from the outlying district. Voting by precincts was as follows: Precinct 1 (city hall), Hill «r, 544; Howard, 472; Engdahl, 265; Adams, J61; Marks, 273; Downs, «T; Precinct II (Lakemoor), Hiller, 8; Howard, 55; Engdahl, 59; Adams, 7; Marks, 54; Downs, 2. District II ----- For membership on the board of Consolidated School District 15, there were only three candidates for the three vacancies which existed. Elmer Freund and Hubert j Smith were re-elected to threeyear terms with 172 and 171 votes, respectively. Harold Vaupell received 169 votes to become a new mefnber replacing Howard Collins, who did not seek re-election. Votes in precinct 1 (Junior high) precinct II (Lakemoor) and precinct III (Island Lake) were as follows: Freund, 142; 16 and 14; Smith, 145, 12 and 14; Vaupell, 136, 14 and 20. There were several write-ins for various candidates. Big Write-in At Johnsburg, where there was only one candidate for election, one might have assumed that there would be little activity last Saturday. On the contrary, however, a total of 300 votes were cast, resulting in the election of Michael Schaefer as a new board member to serve for thcee years. His was the only name on the ballot. Mr. Schaefer takes over the duties of Peter F. Freund, who was not a candidate. Henry Hiller, who was the write-in candidate, received the support of 100 voters. Eleven votes were spoiled. Cherry Valley At Cherry Valley school, a light vote was recorded, with ' Ray Horenberger, Sr., being re-elected as a director for a three-year term. Other members of that board are Arthur Harris and Edward Schmeltser. Ringwood Ringwood recorded a light vote also, with Paul Walkington being re-elected to his post as director with fourteen votes. Harrison School A contest existed at Harrison school. Wonder Lake, with three seeking two posts. Elected were Helen Renter and Joseph Lundborg. with Anthony Audino. who had been a member of the board, ranking third. SEVEN MEMBERSOF NEW BOARD OP TRUSTEES NAMED McHenry's two candidates, Norbert Mauch and Mrs. Florence Svoboda, were found not to be among the seven winning candidates for county board of school trustees when the final vote was tabulated late last week. Both polled a large number of votes, however, especially when it is taken into consideration that this is the only township in which there were two candidates. This is believed responsible for neither being declared a winner since voters who realized that only one could be elected from a township found it advisable to select only one from here, resulting in a split vote. The top seven who will form the newly created board are Robert McConnell of Woodstock, 8,865; Paul Bertram, Algonquin, 7,338; Helen Lowell, Nunda, 7,231; Harold Feiertag, Marengo, 6,432; Ben J. Winn, Richmond, 6,357; Henry Marlowe, Grafton, 6.225; James Fyfe, Hartland, 6,168. Mr. Mauch received 5,038 votes, Mrs. Svoboda, 4,870, and Delos Mc- Fadden, Chemung, 5,216.

At present, $357.40 has been collected in the cancer drive to meet a quota of $800. Only sixteen workers have turned in reports and it 1B anticipated that with totals from the remainder of the forty-eight the goal will be met. Because of the pre-Easter rush, many workers waited to make house to house collections until this week. Anyone who has not been contacted by April 26 is urged to notify either of the co-chairmen, Mrs. Walter Bartow or Mrs. Charles Brda. This is the fourth year that the Cancer Crusade has been conducted throughout the county. Within the Isst two weeks, McHenry topped its quota for Red Cross collections, the goal having been $2 ,700. The only other .communities which were reported to have exceeded their quota last week were Cary, Algonquin, Hebron and Huntley. - ~ V Sew Quota With the many disasters In the form of tornadoes and floods throughout the country in recent weeks, the reserve held for such purposes has been exhausted and the national headquarters of the Red Cross has made an uppeul fur more funds. The extra quota for McHenry county has been set at $1,000. Earlier this year, local residents met the needs of the polio campaign by contributing $500 more than the previous year. They turned in a total of $3,300, $800 mgre than Che local goal of j?,- 500. ' * Here, too, workers reported cordial receptions in all communities. The latest campaign is not for money but for blood. This in something that money cannot buy--the desire to give to save the lives of servicemen overseas must come from the heart. 1- ; MfKINLAT RITES Harry McKinlay of Oak Park, a summer resident of Hickory Grange subdivision.

No one who has heard the plea df a returned Korean veteran. Corp. Jerry Sherrett of Fox River Grove, should fail to heed his appeal. He was wounded several times and had eighteen blood transfusions, some on the battlefield. Corp. Sherrett is very concerned about the hoys still fighting in Korea, some of whom are dying for want of blood, he says. He added that "a lot of fellows over there are pretty disgusted with people back home. The boys need a lot more blood because there are a great many who are going to die if they don't get it and it's the American Red Cross that's shipping it in. There are two types. The "O" type (whole blood) is used where men are hurt the worst and in the hospitals where men are dying. The plasma is used all of the time and on the line in emergencies. I've got a lot of friends over there and I want them to get a fighting chance. It could be anybody's brother or husband or some youngster's father who won't make it if they don't get blood." In conclusion, Corp. Sherrett said. "There is no color line in blood. I know, because I had a transfusion from a Korean civilian on the battlefield."
