\ PG. 16, - PLAINDEALER - FRI., APR., 12, 1968 District 15 Plans For Fcdrground Site To Be Presented In Referendum (Continued from page 1) WALTER DEAN spent by each type of tax district. This type chart was favored over the more imaginative "tax dollar" because the chart may be printed on the rate sheet that would accompany each bill. By putting all the necessary information on the rate sheet, employees of the Treasurer's office would have only two pieces to stuff into each envelope. It was estimated that putting the partial breakdown on each tax bill would delay mailing by approximately one month. The offices of the County Clerk and Treasurer, assuming that tax money is invested on receipt, gave a figure of up to $50,- 000 loss in interest in tax districts from the additional month's delay. It was announced that Motor Fuel Tax payments on 68„91 miles in McHenry township in February amounted to $1,391,- 22. In Nunda, for 56.66 miles, the payment was $1143.91; Burton, 12.30 miles, $248.33; and Richmond, 31.04 miles, $626. 67. Hie sales tax for December in the count totalled $23,538.- 25. William Tammeus, treasurer of the County Hi story, was present to explain that 15 percent of sales had been made to date. He also showed examples of two township histories, to the satisfaction of the board members. Mr. Tammeus announcedthat the Southern Illinois university drama group will be present during the McHenry county fair to present a program honoring the sesquicentenni&l year of the state. The matter of employing a public defender came up for considerable discussion. Since the cost was estimated at $20,- 000 annually, this would need to be provided for in the budget next fall and no action was taken at this time. The decision of the one manone- vote rule of the Supreme Court came under discussion and the role of the county in meeting legal requirements. Chairman Dean said a meeting in connection with this and other such matters would be held in Rockford April 19. Members were particularly interested in how a law could be drafted that would apply to all counties in Illinois. The Siqjreme Court ruling, it was felt, is not at this time being carried out on the lower levels of government. FIRES CAUSE MINOR DAMAGE EARLY THIS WEEK Vandalism in a storage house to the rear of the McHenry Town club was blamed by Chief Ed. Justen for a fire Tuesday night which burned a mattress stored there. Someone in the club had noticed youth near the building just prior to the fire. There was no damage done to the building. About three-quarters of a row of evergreen trees owned by the former Whiting nursery at Ringwood was destroyed by fire Tuesday evening. The trees extended from the railroad tracks to Rt. 31. An Alexander Lumber company truck was damaged around the floor and seat when fire broke out as the driver was travelling on Rt. 120, east of McHenry. _ Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) will have extensive economic growth from such a plan, can't help but keep in mind that Uncle Sam's money comes from him. There have been two more or less recent legislative developments in our own state that seem to be a more permanent solution to these tax-conscious people. They are the new Junior College program and the creation of the new Department of Business and Economic Development for Illinois. The former offers a wide range of technical and vocational programs, while the latter can be helpful in obtaining the research needed to secure markets for state products. Quite a number of taxpayers are sure to feel that the combined potential of the two programs - developing human resources and skills and obtaining markets for goods -offers a more appetizing answer than "primping the pump" with their money. Regardless of how it might have been assessed - fromthe standpoint of dramatic quality, musical effort, stating or direction - the performance of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek" last weekend had to be considered a top success. The MC-IS musical, directed jointly by John Leighty and Alan Lyndrup, was two hours of real enjoyment for the audience, regardless of age. It has been a long time since we recall a more pleasant evening, or one more rewarding in view of the genuine talent displayed by the young cast of students. K.A.F. Summer Activity Program At the meeting of the board of Consolidated Grade School District 15, held earlier this week, Miss Helen Curran spoke on the pilot program of summer activity planned this year, including math and reading classes. Cost of the entireprogram was announced at $4,000. Among the offerings virill be continuation of basic skills program, community school recreation, outdoor education and creativity, with a charge to be made for the participants.

Parkview, John O. Mclntyre of 1304 N. Eastwood lane and John M. Coughlin of 4303 Crystal Lake road. The first two are running for reelection.

DISTRICT 36- Voters in Harrison District 36, Wonder Lake, will decide on three board members from among four candidates. They are William N. Cristy, Jay W. Cristy, Jr., and Dr. S.L.

DISTRICT 12 There will be no contest in Johnsburg District 12, where two members are retiring from the board. Elmer Pflug and Steven Petrov seek to fill the vacancies. Voting will take place at the Johnsburg Community school building. There will be no election at Ringwood this year because of favorable action taken by the county board of school trustees on a petition to consolidate with Johnsburg School District 12, effective June 1. announced in which Dr. Coifbin from Northern Illinois university will provide instruction for teachers, and also a junior high developmental reading program taught by James Dhran. Some discussion took place concerning communication with parochial schools not presently in use in this area, with the prospect of possibly using them for District 15 pupils to meet the space shortage. One reply was received in which four rooms might be made available if terms could be agreed upon. Several methods were suggested to ease the shortage, including extended school days, split shifts, rental of rooms and portable class rooms. Principal Spencer of Junior high said that school would be short six rooms next fall. ANTICIPATION WARRANTS Approval was given to issuance of tax anticipation warrants in the amount of $82,000 for April due to delayed reimbursement from state and federal funds on special projects. Gene Little, community school director, was present to review developments of the past year and give a look into the future in regard to special programs. These included summer recreation, intramural athletic, teen club, senior citizens program and administrative visitation. He announced two meetings in conjunction with these items. On April 10, Miss Curran and Mr. Little met with interested members of the community to begin planning the senior citizen programs. On April 30, administrators of both districts will meet to develop plans for visitations into homes of the students. ACCEPT RESIGNATIONS Resignations were accepted of Mrs. Erylene Smithey, fifth grade at Hilltop, Mrs. Veronica Kreuger and Mrs. Lorene fcrantner, second grade, Valley View.

McHENRY STUDENT CONTRIBUTES TO LENTEN This year, as every year, since 1955, Iowa Wesleyan college students and faculty members have written and published a book of daily lenten devotions for national distribution. Jo Weichmann, a freshman of 817 Center street, McHenry was one of the contributors with the following, printed as the April 7 writing as follows: "I come to God in daily prayer, I tell Him all. I know He's there. I come from a world thaf s full of fear, but now I'm calmed. I know God's near. "Then in my heart swell songs of praise, for God, my Lord, His Son did raise. And when I face the world anew, I know that God will be there too." The lenten devotions, starting with Ash Wednesday, Feb. 28, and ending with Easter Sunday, April 14, are written to help. give spiritual guidance during Lent. Thousands of copies of the devotions are distributed during Lent to students, parents, churches, schools, prisons, hospitals, friends and alumni on request across the world. The devotions are published by daily newspapers and used on radio and television. HURT IN ACCIDENT Kristopher Struck of James street was treated for minor injuries at Ms Henry hospital earlier this week as the result of an auto accident.
