DISTRICT IS EXPLAINS NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL The bond issue to be voted upon March 9 will provide $2.0 million to Grade School District 15 if it is passed. This money will be used to build a new middle school. The middle school was decided upon for many reasons. First of all, the growth in population of the district has caused the present school buildings of the district to be filled to capacity. Any new students next fall will cause overcrowding. Second, the shared time program in cooperation with St. Patrick's will be expanded, and St. Mary's had indicated that they will join the program. Third, to get as much new classroom space as possible for the taxpayer's dollar, the school board had to consider building a new school rather than remodel a present school. Theaniddle school, in housing grades'-5 through 8, will alleviate these problems for about five years if growth predictions prove true. By giving a 900^ student capacity when complete, the school will take some of the pressure from the elementary schools and the junior high school. The new classrooms will provide half-day homes for , the shared time students, also. OTHER POSSIBILITIES The school board, before deciding on the middle school, considered several other possibilities. Among them were: 1. Remodel the Junior high school and expand it to 900 capacity over its present *600. This would not alleviate the school system's problems for ucvcuui Alii lllv) Uv vvgAUt k* , l rtSo I don't know-how to catch u a?8 Mailable-So they can have a; ball. The other kids call me butter fingers. "And I always strike out, for I don't get any practice at home. "My daddy says he is too busy to play with me. "And if he does have some time at home, he is then too tired. "So the kids think I am sissy, bit it isn't all my fault." DADS, BEWARE Dads must bew^rf* lest thev worsnip at the shrine of $3$$ and thus neglect their children's social or athletic needs. Norman has very little camaraderie with his father. Yet his,,dad thinks he will earn his "pile of dough" and later fraternize with Norman. But then it will be far too late. Children rely on their parents quite heavily, at least till they reach high school age. So it is far better for dads to earn less money but be better pals of their children during the pre-teen years. Alas, thousands of dads, "farm out" their kiddies to the YMCA and Scout leaders. Or they even send them away to boarding school or a military academy, thus trying to shun their proper parental duties. •Remember, your children didn't ask to come into this world! So study how to be an excellent parent. It takes some of your time and may be fatiguing, but you owe it to the kiddies, otherwise you double cross them! To raise the batting averages as a dad, follow this prescription: (1) Surprise your children (and your wife) by loading them into the car ^Jeast once per • month for sorrie tuWown holiday destination. Visit a circus or a pony farm where they can ride horses or the carousel. Take them to a lake for a rowboating trip. And let the kiddies row! Or "go-to a park for a wiener roast. (2) Allot one whole evening per week to the youngsters, and nevefr let business or social obligations interfere with this special night. Have a gala evening of games or .occasionally go to a movie. (3) If your child is behind his-classmates in school subject's, use the flash card method and make a game out of home tutoring. You parents can usually bring 'ceiling unlimited" as to their earnings. , Send for my "Tests for Good Parents", enclosing a long stamped return envelope, plus 20 cents. Rate yourselves on this 200-point scale and also let your kiddies, rate you, if you dare! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)

Late last month, McHenry FS -- farmer-owned cooperative that distributes farm supplies - announced its expansion into Walworth county to provide farmers in that county with the benefit of the know-how and price savings offered by the Farm Bureau affiliated company. The move was made at the invitation of the Walworth County Farm Buearu - a move described by Farm Bureau officials' as a "first" in the history of Farm Bureau. The annual meeting will be On Sunday, Feb. 18, the First Baptist church congrega-;, tion of McHenry will celebrate the birthday anniversary of their'* pastor, Rev. Virgle L. Chappell.

These.' letters will have small candles enclosed -- two for each person --'; and each person is asked to bring one candle himself and give", the other to a friend to bring. On Sunday, there will be a huge cake at the front of the auditorium and each person attending will walk by it and place his 'l candle on the cake.

This would have helped the situation by eliminating crowding in the elementary schools, but; would have done nothing for the problems of shared time and of overcrowding in the junior high school.
