PG. 12, - PLAINDEALER - FRI., OCT., 25, 1968 reminder a couple of weeks ago by Mrs. Harry Hoff of Bay View Lane, Pistakee Bay, that we are once again at that time of year when our summer visitors leave us» for the long winter -- and sometimes also leave their summer pets to shift for themselves in a cold, "cruel world. 1 And vacation residents of our area are not the only offenders for occasionally these unfortunate waifs of the animal world have made their way into our office at other times, brought by folks who found them along the road. Mrs. Hoff reminded that we had printed an item in our paper almost twenty years ago in regard to this very subject. A check of our files disclosed that, indeed, we had. At that time, Mrs. Hoff had been awakened early one morning by the crying of a dog. She immediately dressed and began a search of her premises. After considerable time she came upon three beautiful little puppies which she thought to be about six or seven weeks old and of collie parentage. Someone had evidently driven into the lane, thrown the puppies over the fence and left. Kirs. Hoff recalled then, and reminded us again, that severe prosecution awaits anyone convicted of abandoning animals in this way. We're sure she is joined by many others who would gladly press charges if the offenders could be identified. Mrs. Hoff, prominent "in the club and philanthropic work in Chicago for many years, has long befriended pets which have been forsaken, for which she has earned the gratitude of others who believe that dogs - and maybe a few other species that brighten this human world -- are man's best friend! K.A.F. Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) the matter long ago reached a state of confusion; in fact, it was the impasse arrived at last week which prompted him to propose some type of new action. A few weeks ago, when cooperation from the Woodstock City Council seemed only a hopeless dream, the county board aimed at a referendum in conjunction with the November presidential vote. However, more recent advice from the board's legal firm expressed some concern for bringing the matter to the public at this early date and still meet all legal requirements. This, said Buss, was one of his reasons for initiating new action which on the surface seemed to be retreating. A special election would cost the voters $21,000 at a minimum. Reflecting on the attitude of the board, the local supervisor said if the referendi'm could have been called safely for November, they would have tried. At the last board meeting this month, when Woodstock's Mayor Kuhn and two of the three councilmen attending, remained adamant on the Annex site, silence ensued. At this point Buss persued the subject by asking the councilmen which way they would prefer to go if the board turned down the Annex site. He pointed out that the question was 'only to see if any point of agreement could be reached. Two of the three named the fairgrounds site, but later a representative of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, who also happened to be on the city* s industrial committee, gave a prepared statement that the Chamber desired only a downtown site. He quoted the industrial committee as having plans to convert the area surrounding the fairgrounds into industrial use. With councilmen placing their second choice as the fairgrounds and another city group, the industrial committee, with other plans for that site, Buss saw all progress at a halt. S was at this point that he recommended professional assistance in making a choice, but specified that this mustneceasarily come from outside Mc- Henry county. He also made a point of asking each member of the county board building committee to allow the firm selected to make its own decision, without offering personal opinions. Buss further suggested that rlarge county construction firms • be contacted for names of pror fessional help which might give the best assistance. Hie situation is now at this : point, with the committee in the r process of employing such help, r One encouraging sign of pror< gress came out of the meeting when Buss reminded Mayor ; Kuhn and council members that I only the Annex, fairgrounds and a Austin property could be con- ( sidered at this time unless the I city would be willing to agree : that they check such outside locations as the Bigelow and : Flood properties. o For the first time since the controversial issue came under discussion, Mayor Kuhn's firm v conviction seemed somewhat more flexible when she admitted that perhaps this should have been done long ago. Buss sees a ray of hope in this initial agreement to the investigation of other sites. Possibly the court site may yet be resolved with some degree of satisfaction and amicability achieved. We were most grateful for a under Title I. Fourteen students in sixth-seventh and eighth grades took part over a period of four weeks at a cost of $3,- 722, which was money received from the federal government and not put to use in other projects. The teachers were enthusiastic over the program and hope to have three classes next year. A discussion was held concerning the recent parent telephone survey in which the board hopes to learn major reasons for defeat of the recent bond issue. Although the answers have not yet been tabulated, Dr. Bergstrom said it appeared that taxes and site location were high on the list of reasons. The eye testing program in the schools came up for review after it had been suggested that local service clubs be contacted for contributions to purchase vision equipment. Dr. Peter Griesbach>board member, then pointed out that such equipment is changing rapidly and suggested it might be wise to study requirements for such a pro-' gram before any definite action. £ was announced that Dr. Bergstrom has been accepted as one of six superintendents to participate in a workshop for the North Central association on accreditation of high schools in the mid-west. The board accepted the resignation of Charlotte Mitsven secretary of central office, effective Nov. 30. Rev. John Mclntyre andMrs. Jack Vick, board members, were not present at the meeting.

It was generally conceded that two tax proposals presented at almost the same time would probably result in the failure of one or both. YEAR 'ROUND SCHOOL Dr. Carl Bergstrom, superintendent, and Gene Little, community school director, will attend a conference in DeKalb concerning operation of the year 'round school. It was noted that such an operation, known as the "45-15" plan, has started near Lockport where problems are staggering. From an enrollment eight years ago of 100 pupils, the school system now has 5,000. Fourteen bond issues have been held and all passed except one, which lost by 'five votes. The district operated under a double shift program for four years and now plans the twelve month system for a couple of years, after which they feel it will be necessary to go into a double shift onthetwelve-month plan. Mrs. Casey of Country club subdivision was present and asked the board for a list of classrooms in the various schools, with the number of pupils in each. The board said a request would be made for figures from each school and these would be available to anyone desiring them. Carl Wagner and E. Maris, Junior high teachers, gave a presentation on a short slidetape relating to the 1968 summer outdoor education program Motor Moid S@Erwes City (Continued from page 1) Frank Caruk of Brake Parts Co. appeared before the council to explain the problems of the company in securing a sufficient number of employees, stating that 100 additional persons are needed at this time. On a temporary basis, the council approved a search light installation at the plant to guide applicants to the employment office. Also on a temporary basis, the company will set up trailers on private property to make it convenient for applicants to be interviewed. The traffic problem at the plant off 111. Rt. 120 onto Industrial Drive was also discussed. City police, who have been working 48 hours per week, will now be paid the same salary for 44 hours. Additional hours will be submitted to the council on the Chief's monthly time sheets. As advertised, bids were received for furnishing the city with a new police car to replace the Dodge car purchased about a year ago. Buss Fords bid of $890 and trade in of the Dodge was approved. Bids were also submitted by Sunnyside Dodge on two different models, one being for $1,278.70 and the other $1,075.39. McHENRY GIRL IN VIETNAM SERVICE (Continued from page 1) this hectic pace seven days a week. At the request of the Department of Defense, and the military command, the Red Cross launched a recreation program in 1965 for Americans in Vietnam. Sandra and her teammates devise audience - participation activities whenever and wherever security permits. The program may be carried out in tents, permanent buildings or out of doors. The aim of the program is to provide the soldier with a break from the war and a place where he can go to relax over a soft drink, to play a casual game or play records. The daughter of Mr. andMrs. Leo N. Krumme of 2605 S. River road, McHenry, Sandra graduated from Illinois university at Normal. While on campus she was a member of the Ma Alpha Theta, honorary math society, Kappa Delta Pi, honorary education society, and Delta Phi Alpha, honorary German fraternity. It was not too difficult for Sandra to select an appropriate wardrobe in addition to her Red Cross uniform. Vietnam has only two seasons -- hot and rainy and hot and dry. In the rice-delta area near Saigon, rains usually begin in late June and last through October, with May and June usually the hottest and most humid. Combine this with the shortage of cosmetics, no hot water and other inconveniences and it adds up to a pretty dismal picture. But Sandra and the other clubmobile girls were not looking for glamour when they volunteered for a year in Vietnam. When these young college graduates return from Vietnam they invariably will talk about how they learned the value of a smile, a kind word and the meaning of friendship. Sandra made her application with the local Red Cross office in March of this year and after careful screening of her credentials she was flown to Red Cross headquarters at St. Louis for a personal interview. After her acceptance, she spent two weeks in Washington in actual training and instruction. Sandra's present address is Long Binh, east of Saigon, She may be reached by writing to her at Club Mobile Unit II Figld Force, APO, San Francisco, Calif., 96266.
