PAGE 18-PLAINS EALEK-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1972 mmm 'i-i Sh mam Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell and Sgt. George Meyer demonstrate what would happen If a car traveling 3t m.p.h. behind a school bus applied its brakes and attempted to stop after the bus had turned on its stop lights and flashers. A child who had left ttye bus and was crossing in front of the bus to the other side erf the street would have been hit by the c^fr. Drivers Urged To Use Caution In Meeting Buses With approximately 17,000 students of all grade levels riding school buses in McHenry county, Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell reminds motorists to exer­ cise utnfi06t caution and obey all traffic rules when a school bus is observed driving the highways. In a recent survey of drivers, it was learned that there are many violations, such as failing to obey flashing lights, stop arm signals, and passing buses while passengers are either loading or unloading. These are serious violations, especially when the children could be the victim of serious injury or death due to the careless operation of a motor vehicle. Bus drivers must pass rigid tests of performance before given certification to operate school buses, as well as being required to attend classes from time to time on the latest laws or procedures for the safe operation of the bus. This, combined with the efforts of each motorist, will insure the children the utmost in safe transportation during the school year. According to the Illinois Rules of the Road, the auto driver must always stop before reaching a school bus which has stopped to load or unload passengers. Warning will be given at least 100 ft. in advance (200 ft. in rural areas) by the flashing red lights on the front and rear of the bus. One must stop when over­ taking or meeting a stopped school bus from either direc­ tion, except where highways are separated in the center by median strips. It is not necessary to stop for a school bus on a controlled-access highway if the bus is in a loading zone at a place where pedestrians are not permitted to cross. After stopping, the driver may proceed if the bus driver signals him to do so or if the flashing lights are turned off. MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) animals designated as "protected species" goes into effect next Jan. 1. It means that there will be no new Polar bear rugs, leopard skin coats and alligator shoes and handbags in Illinois...not without a fine. Anything sold before that date, of course, can be put to use, but the Illinois Bar association cautions that you had better retain proof of the date of purchase. Selling the products after next Jan. l could bring a fine of from $100 to $1,000 and a jail term. And it won't help to travel to the next state. The law says these products can't be brought back. It's about time! On Saturday, Nov. 18, there will be an opportunity for almost everyone in the com­ munity to do something im­ portant for others less for­ tunate. Most appropriately in this Thanksgiving season, the Boy Scouts and volunteer Scouters are conducting a Good Turn Day. They are collecting material (not magazines and newspapers) to be used by the physically handicapped at Goodwill Industries. More than 17,000 Good Turn day bags have been distributed in the area during the past two weeks. Now it's up to us to fill them with items to be used in a rehabilitation and occupational training program. K.A.F. CHAMBER IN ANNUAL MEET (Continued from page 1) who joined the C of C during the year. The meeting was concluded with a commendation for the splendid work of Mike Brown as president. COUNTY MAKES BUDGET CHANGE ^Continued from page 1) the Zoning and Liquor com­ missions. A petition of Alexander and Rosemary Vereschagin for variation of property located a quarter of a mile west of new Bay road, on the corner of Rocky Beach road, from "R" residential to "B-2" business was approved. The couple plans to use the premises, containing about 1.77 acres, for a private restaurant to serve dinners by reservation or appointment only, as distinguished from an "open door" restaurant. A resolution was passed allowing the county to operate an incinerator in the county court house located at 2200 N. Seminary avenue, Woodstock. A request for an increase in the compensation of Sheriff Tyrrell as director of public safety, from $3,500 to $4,000 annually, was denied because of lack of sufficient funds. The board okayed ter­ mination of a monthly contract with George Smith, com­ munications expert, in the amount of $444, effective Dec. 1. Action followed a recom­ mendation of the Sheriff's committee that repairs could be made as needed and that the monthly contract was not necessary. The board also agreed to the purchase of a truck, about 20 years old for Civil Defense use. The cost of the truck was $450, plus $300 for tune-up, directional signals, etc.; also water pumps and hoses not to exceed $500. The board voted to deny the request of Supervisor of Assessment Stanley Cornue to create a new position of chief deputy in his office. Member Edward Buss of McHenry r e c o m m e n d e d j o b i io DEDICATE PICNIC SHELTER - Rotarians and other interested gathered around the new picnic shelter in the park last Saturday morning for its dedication and presentation to the city of McHenry. In the absence of Rotary President Warren Kuhlman, Vice-President Walter Harbecke presided at the short dedication service. Mayor Donald P. Doherty accepted the shelter on behalf '1' L m of the city. All material was pirei--i by tftw MeHMry club programs undertaken through the year and all labor was members. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD classification in this office rather than the creation of a new position, and the board agreed. The sales tax for July was announced for the county at $32,835. Members of two high school classes ~ Crystal Lake and West campus, McHenry - were in attendance at the meeting, the final one held at the annex. The Dec. 12 meeting will be at the new court house on Rt. 47 and Ware road. REQUEST MODEL SCHOOL PLAN (Continued from page 1) Described programs are of several categories, including management, instruction, personnel and finance. They represent de novo approaches, exemplary attempts, pilot programs and programs that are very effectively producing results. After some discussion on the payroll system, the board agreed to continue under the present program which was described as "func timing very well". Presently, the payroll for all staff is being done through the Northern Trust bank. The McHenry State bank serves as the district's depository and acts as liaison between the school district and the service bank on items of non-technical nature. The present system was the choice over a "in-house" payroll preparation. The board adopted a resolution endorsing a disaster survival plan to be carried out in the district. An emergency directory is included. Primarily, the purpose of the program is what the district considers an urgent need for teaching general safety to every student. This extends from every day safety through Young Harrison School Musicians In 1MB A Festival Richard Mikus, supervisor of music at Harrison school in Wonder Lake, has announced that twelve students from the music departments at Harrison recently were selected by the Illinois Music Educators association to participate in the I.M.E.A. music festival held at River Forest high school Saturday, Nov. 11. The students spent the day in rehearsals and the educators were in clinics. The day was culminated by a concert at 3 p.m. The chorus was directed by Richard Whitecotton and the band by Dr. H.E. Nutt. Those chours members from Harrison who were chosen to participate were Missy Matesi, Linda Jinga, Laura Higgins, Kathleen Ahem, Dee Amato, Donna DeWerdt, Julie Bright and Sandi Schau. Members from the Harrison band chosen to go were Vicki Bazan, Wendy Gildemeister, Claire Higgins and Tari Ruggero. protection against radioactive fallout in the event of nuclear attack upon the country. Secondly, the educational philosophy of the school system recognizes not only the moral, but also the legal responsibility to provide an educational en­ vironment as safe as possible in which to conduct the educational processes. Finally, school leaders believe that since the school system is an agency of the community, it must reflect the needs of the community it serves. This, they say, means that the schools must not only give active support but also provide leadership, where possible, to those community projects designed to provide for the general safety. Board Members Dorothy Vick and Anna Mae Cuda were appointed to meet with two members of the District 156 board and come to an agreement on sharing tran­ sportation costs. Hester Oil Co., was approved in its low bid of 25.7 cents per gallon to supply gasoline fuel for buses and maintenance vehicles. This low price, it was explained, is less a federal tax of four cents, from which the school is exempt. The board acted favorably in authorizing school officials to submit applications for Title I and Title II ESEA funds. The first relates to children from low income families, of which there are 107. The need is for $26,010. The second request would provide for library books and other instructional material through a grant allowance of $6,500. i THINK ABOUT IT! By BOBJUSTEN Thanksgiving thoughts. . . .Regardless of individual needs, wants, possessions or lack of them, every one of us should give thanks for being Americans, living in America. We in America represent only 6% of the world population. Figured in percentages, we have these approximate figures for every 1000 people on earth. 60 people are Americans. 940 people represent the rest of the world. The 60 Americans receive ONE HALF the world's income; the 940 non-Americans receive the other half. The LOWEST income group in the 60 Americans would be far above the average income of the 940 non-Americans. . .The 60 Americans have an average life expectancy of 70. . .the 940 non- Americans would average less than 40. . .The 60 Americans consume 15% of the world's food supply. . . The 60 Americans have 12 times as much electri­ city. . .22 times as much coal. . .21 times as much oil. . .50 times as much steel.. . .50 times as much general equipment (industrial and home). .The com­ parisons are endles When you give thanks to God for your individual blessings at Thanksgiving, wouldn't it be fitting to express gratitude to Him for His numberless mer­ cies and especially for His placing you in the group of 60?
