This new book will be for sale by the County board of supervisors after Aug. 1. "STATE HIGHWAYS" The first road in McHenry county to be paved by the State of Illinois, according to the Department of Public Works and Buildings records in Springfield as released for this history on Sept. 25, 1967 by Francis S. Lorenz, director, was route U.S. 20, from a point east of Marengo through that city to Belvidere in Boone county. That 6-plus mile stretch (to the Boone-McHenry line) was built in 1922. The departmeint has provided this history with a map of the county showing " Original Construction Dates" on state highways which we shall describe here in general terms: 1922 -U.S. 20, Marengo to Belvidere. 1922 - 111. 120, one mile in Woodstock, 111. 47 east. 1923 - U.S. 14, Harvard to State Line. 1924 - U.S. 14, Crystal Lake thru Woodstock to Brookdale Bridge. 1924 - 111. 120, Woodstock to McHenry. 1925 - Dl. 23, from point five miles south of Harvard, through Marengo to south county line. 1925 - U.S. 14, Crystal Lake southeast thru Fox River Grove to approximately county line. 1925 - 111. 31, from U.S. 14 junction south thru Algonquin to line. 1925 - 111. 22, Fox River Grove east. 1926 - 111. 23, Harvard at U.S. 14 to point five miles south. 1928 - 111. 31, from U.S. 14 junction north thru McHenry to junction with U.S. 12, continuing thru Richmond to state litre. 1928 - 111. 176, approximately one mile, in Crystal Lake. 1928 - 111. 173, Harvard west to county line. 1928 - 111. 120, Sherman Hill (approximately) east thru McHenry to east county line. 1929 - HI. 176, point east of Burton's Bridge thru Island Lake to county. 1930 - 111. 173, Harvard to Richmond (Local sources contend this was done in 1929; however 1930 is state's completion date). 1931 - 111. 47, Huntley south to county line. 1931 - 111. 173,Richmondeast to county line. 1932 - 111. 176, Marengo east to Junction with 111. 47. 1932 - m. 176, approximately one mile, Crystal Lake east to 111. 31. 1933 - 111. 47, from point north of Woodstock north thru Hebron to state line. 1934 - U.S 12, from junction with 111. 31 southeast to county line. 1935 - 111. 176, from junction with 111. 31 (northeast of Crystal Lake) northeast to Burton's Bridge. 1935 - 111. 47 approximately one mile in Woodstock, north end, tojll. 120. 1937 ' - ni. 47, Huntley to Woodstock. 1939 - U.S. 20, from point southeast of Marengo, southeast to county line. 1941 - 111. 176, junction with 111. 47 east to Crystal Lake. 1944 - U.S. 14, Brookdale bridge northwest to Harvard. 1955 - Burton Bridge construction, 111. 176 over Fox River. 1958 - Illinois Tollway, Interstate 90, through southwest corner of this county. 1961 - U.S. 14 by-pass around Woodstock. Practically all of the above state highways in 1967 were two lane roads - one lane in each direction. Even U.S. 14 in the Crystal Lake-Fox River Grove region , one of the most heavily travelled sections of the county was still two-lane in 1967. The only four-lane divided highways in this county in 1967 were the Tollway and a short section of the U.S. 14 by-pass south of Woodstock. NOTE: In the talk stage, at this printing, was a proposed Evanston - Harvard freeway, which, if it happened, would be the most sensational road development through McHenry county in modern times.

T)he IdJotttp I Clinic Bill voices a widespread criticism by high school teachers. For frills and braintruster notions have made a farce of the curriculum in our free public (government) schools.

D., M.D. CASE F-556: Bill Z.,aged 38, is a high school teacher. "Dr. Crane," he began, "in my Chicago high school we actually have seniors who still can't read or even sign their own name! >, "Maybe your readers will not believe such a thing but it is true. "And what makes it seem more incredible, is the fact these students have had eight years in Chicago public schools and now are in the fourth year of high school - all at the taxpayer's expense. "They are promoted regularly on the basis of age instead of merit, for nowadays we don't dare hold a student back lest it would wound his ego and thus produce psychic trauma. "But maybe it would be well to stop free public schooling at the end of the sixth grade. '•For why should taxpayers invest heavily for all those extra years when the students then don't know as much as third graders are supposed to demonstrate?" STOP FREE SCHOOLING? If parents would cooperate with the teachers in the early grades, our children would be fluent readers before they left the sixth grade. And they would also be expert in arithmetic, history and spelling. Thereafter, they could easily acquire a college education, if they were motivated to do so. And not at taxpayer's expense! For the parents should pay tuition and then receive a more liberal exemption on their income tax each year. Remember, the so-called free public schools are actually "government" schools, regimented by politicians at the state and national levels! •Private grammar and high schools are now becoming the best hope for the future of this Republic. For they can still inject moral tutelage, plus respect for our patriotic Founding Fathers, whose names are actually being deleted from the "lib- DIETETIC CROUP HONORS PRESENT, FUTURE OFFICERS The North Suburban Dietetic association honored the present and future officers of the group at a dinner meeting May 1 at Jim Saines's Tralee farms in Barrington Hills.

Selective Service Set out below are questions frequently asked of the Selective Service System along with the appropriate answers. Your cooperation in printing or announcing these will be in the public interest. Q. My son writes that his local board has refused topermit him to appeal to the President. Why is this? A. An appeal to the President is not permitted in every case. If the decision of a State Appeal board is unanimous, the registrant does not have a right of appeal to the President. The State Director of Selective Service for the state in which the man's local board is located, the State Director of Selective Service for the state in which the appeal board is located, or the National Director of Selective Service are authorized to make further appeal in such cases. The local board does not have authority to take such action. Q. I live about 40 miles from the closest draft board. When I go to register at age 18, will my expenses be paid? A. No. Selective Service regulations provide, "Persons required to present themselves for and submit to registration shall not be paid for performing such obligation nor shall they be paid travel^allowances or expenses." Q. I am now deferred in Class II-S as a college student. If I enlist in the National Guard what, if anything, will happen to my student deferment? A.

Instead of wasting our taxes trying to teach indifferent students such frilly courses as "ballroom dancing" or "tennis" or even "cooking", why not give them a thorough grounding in reading and arithmetic? Their parents, aided by the recipe columns in the daily newspaper, plus similar helpful data in magazines and state agricultural bulletins, would then enable them to learn cooking. The Boy Scouts and YMCA can also give them athletic training. Efficiency engineering needs to be applied to our school system, starting with a complete housecleaning The "government" (public) schools should not waste our taxes duplicating what can be learned elsewhere without cost to the taxpayer! That's an axiom of efficiency engineering. Thus, athletics, dancing, cooking and probably 75percent of the present curriculum could be profitably omitted, as wasteful duplication. Remember, too, that George Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Ben Franklin and all our other astute Founding Fathers never had access to^ even one day of free public (government) schools! Yet they produced a written CONSTITUTION that couldn't be equalled by even modern college professors! Prime Minister Gladstone called it the "greatest document ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." Free public schooling is thus a late luxury in mankind's development on this planet. It is the "cake" on evolution's menu, and may well need to be eliminated, as shrinking resources require that we cut back to educational "bread".

Ml WED., MAY 1, 1968 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 3 H t,", by Illinois State Bar Association ESTATE PLANNING HAS WIDE APPEAL Estate planning was once thought of a s primarily a method by which the rich sought to reduce taxes, by taking advantage of exemptions the law allows. Today, estate planning is being used by more and more moderate income families as a scientific approach to the distribution of their assets after death. According to the Illinois State Bar association, tt^e interest in estate planning ) has risen along with family income. It points out that families with yearly incomes of $10,000 or more jumped from 10.2 per cent of United States families in 1958 to 22.5 per cent in 1964. Today, the man with a yearly income of $10,000 to $20,000 can expect in his lifetime to build an estate of $50,000 to $120,000. Estates of these proportions, and even smaller estates, can benefit in many ways from long-range estate planning, the ISBA observes. A more or less typical problem of estate planning is posed by the husband who wishes to leave everything to his wife in event of his death, with the thought that his wife will in turn leave everything to their children. Federal estate tax laws permit a man to will to his wife as much as $120,000 without federal tax. First, the government allows an initial exemption of $60,000 which it does not tax when the estate changes hands. Secondly, under a marital d^uction, the husband may leave half of his estate to his wife free of federal tax. Thus, if half of a man's estate is $60,000,,, he may leave the entire estate to his wife tax free. However, should the wife retain the entire estate, it all would become taxable again, upon her death since without a husband, she would not be< entitled to the marital deduction. For that reason, it could be better to plan so that part of the husband's estate could be passed on to the child- T Bird sizes 5-10 Black Yellow Peach sizes 5-10 slims & mediums Sky Blue Oran ge Navy start at 5.99-6099 Kingpin $3.50 sizes 5-12 White Black Playlite Blucher _ 'an5 L-ath®GcScSon Olympics?

Fountain lane, Mc- Cidiom Lake, died suddenly in McHenry hospital Friday, April 26. She became violently ill in her home and was rushed to the hospital by her son-in-law, Robert Nixon,' who works at the hospital, but succumbed shortly after admittance. Death was attributed to a heart attack. She had made her home with the Nixons since last September, coming from Martin's Ferry, (Mo. Thelma Farrell was born June 9, 1915, and she was preceded in death by her husband. George Justenand Son funeral home made the local arrangements and then the body was transported to the Wilson funeral home, Martin's Ferry, (Mo, where services were conducted Monday. Burial was in Union cemetery, St. Clairsville (Mo. In addition to her daughter, Kay Nixon, McCullom Lake, with whom she made her home, Mrs. Harper is also survived by another daughter, Caroline Tolonese, Martin's Ferry; one son, William R. Harper, Boston Mass.; a grandchild, Rebecca Nixon, McCullom Lake; and two ren upon the wife's death without federal tax at that time. A commonly used method of achieving this end is for the husband to leave half of his estate to his wife and one half in trust to his children, with the wife to receive the income from the children's trust during her lifetime. In this way, much of the tax bite that would otherwise occur when the estate passed to the children would be avoided, since only the half left by the wife to the children would be taxed. An estate plan is well worth the time it takes to prepare it. There are many perfectly legal and right ways to minimize estate and gift taxes but it takes an expert to work them out. The head of the family should get together with his lawyer, and perhaps an insurance expert, trust officer and an accountant. MARGARET M. SHAY Margaret M. Shay died Monday, April 29, at the Villa Nursing home after an illness of about two months. She was 71 years of age. Mrs. Shay was born in Portage, Wis., Sept. 9,1896.
