CITIZEN'S COMPLAINT "Dear Editor: "I read Mr. Adams' front page complaint and I am surprised that he did not pay attention in school when we were taught that the majority rules. "We. as citizens, expect the aldermen to vote on this matter, and the majority voted to postpone any decision until the election was over. We are not going to quit. "We are asking as many as possible to come to the May 2 City Council meeting and see for themselves how our aldermen conduct themselves. "We hope they represent the majority and not a small minority. Please attend. "Gene Pasko "213 Dale "McHenry"' ZONING OPINION "Public Pulse: "Being aware of the present zoning quesion before the City Council, it seems one point has not been taken into con­ sideration. On one hand there are Mr. Buss and Mr. Pintozzi requesting a zoning change for commercial purposes. On the other hand there are seventy- seven objectors to this change. Two people opposed by seventy-seven. "If government is to be truly democratic, obviously the majority rules. To decide otherwise seems quite ex­ traordinary under this type of government. Government must respond to people's needs and not to special interest groups. Our representatives are elected to represent us and reflect our views--and that means the majority, not just two of us. "In view of Mr. Adam's position as expressed by him in the Piaindealer, we are indeed fortunate that he resigned as he was never elected to represent commercial interests in McHenry, but to represent people. "Gregory and Sandra Eckstein "3706 W. Young street "McHenry" ON PROPOSED ZONING "Dear Editor: "On May 2, the City Council will consider a proposal to rezone 12 acres of land, ad­ jacent to the southwest side of Edgebrook Heights, from single family to multi-family and commercial zoning. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted to keep this 12 acres single family with only one vote in favor of the multi-family and commercial development. "The following points give several items of information which many concerned residents of Edgebrook Heights consider important: "1.

This is a much higher density than the adjoining single family homes which are on lots ranging in size from one-third of an acre to one acre. "The apartment buildings are to be 35 feet high (the legal maximum in McHenry) and 25 feet from the adjoining property (the legal minimum). This has the effect of a 35-foot wall only 25 feet from your property line. "A conservative estimate would be 200 people from the ninety-six units crowded onto 6 acres next to single family homes. "2. The noise resulting from two window air conditioners per unit, a 200-car parking lot, and that number of people will be especially disturbing next to single family homes. "3, Lights from the many cars, the apartment parking lot, the well-lighted area for the proposed car dealership on the commercial section will be comparable to the West campus parking lot lights rather than the present Edgebrook Heights residential lighting. , "4. Property values will undoubtedly be adversly af­ fected as will the character of the neighborhood. "5. Three years ago the city put time and money into having experts draw up a master plan. This 12 acres was to remain single family homes according to that plan. Why should there be a change so soon after that plan was adopted? "6. The south end of the 12 acres in question is a semi­ permanent standing water area, as anyone who has driven south on 31 very often has probably noticed. It has no drainage at present. The developers' plans are to fill in this low area and blacktop and build on most of the 12 acres. They plan to pipe the run-off water to adjoining property rather than use storm sewers. If this is done they will flood the adjacent land to the south and east. As the nearest homeowners to the southeast, we will suffer not only decreased property values but actual physical damage to our home due to flooding. "John and Ruth Armstrong "3807 W. St. Paul's Avenue" Witnesses Stress Life As "IPrecious Gift" "Life is a precious gift. All humanity is concerned with getting the best out of it. The book of Proverbs shows that to achieve a long and happy life, more is involved than merely following a course of 'common sense' said John M. Yasko to a crowd of 1,104 Jehovah's Witnesses and friends con­ vened in circuit assembly Sunday at Janesville, Wis. Yasko's talk, based almost entirely on the Bible book of Proverbs, carried the theme, "Follow the Way to Life". Citing various Proverbs to substantiate each point, the speaker outlined many steps leading to happiness: "Be well liked by showing kindness and t r u e n e s s , s p e a k i n g mildly .honestly and of what is good; be happy at your work by showing industriousness, diligence and honesty; enjoy a happy family life by being forgiving, loving, faithful to mates, providing well for family members and showing respect for older ones."

Members of the National Safety Council may obtain addi­ tional information on disaster survival by contacting Council headquarters, 444 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60611 Television ̂ Network National Safety Council Additional copies of this survival test have been secured by the McHenry Rescue squad and are available at the city hall, the financial institutions and in some places of business. Hie National Safety council has offered free additional information on disaster survival to all those who take the National Disaster Survival test, it was announced by Vincent L. Tofany, council president. He said all people have to do is send their completed official test form to the council, with their names and addresses indicated. "The National Disaster Survival test itself will provide people with a wealth of useful information for preventing disaster-related accidents," Tofany said. "Our follow-up printed piece, however, will provide additional details, and can be used as a reference long after the program is over." The National Disaster Survival test will be telecast at 8 p.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Central on NBC as a 90-minute "Big Event." It is being produced for NBC by Warren V. Bush Productions in cooperation with the National Safety council. The council expects approximately 20 million people to participate in the test. "We anticipate great interest in the program because the National Disaster Survival test will be concerned with all types of safety - public, home, industrial, and even traffic - all within the context of disasters." Tofany said. "Most accidents associated with disasters can be prevented, if only people knew what to do. The test is designed to provide people with that information." Persons who have appeared on all three national networks will appear on the National Disaster Survival test. Host of the test will be Tom Snyder of NBC's Tomorrow show. Co-hosts include journalists Shana Alexander (CBS's 60 Minutes), John Amos (ABC's Roots), and Kate Jackson (ABC's Charley's Angels; and astronaut Wally Schirra. Tofany will provide amplification for the answers to be given on the program, and Frank Stanton, chairman and principal officer of the American National Red Cross and former president and then vice chairman of CBS, will also appear. The National Disaster Survival test is patterned after the award winning National Driver's test that first appeared on CBS in 1965. That program attracted more than 50 per cent of the entire viewing audience in its time period, and won the coveted Pea body award. It was produced and written by the same Warren Bush whose company is producing the National Disaster Survival test. To generate participation in the program, the National Safety council has distributed masters of the official test form throughout the council's entire membership, encouraging all members and friends to duplicate from the master. The council has also invited newspapers across the country to run the official test form. In all, more than 50 million test forms will be distributed to Americans, the council estimates. back home to share more of What we have learned with all who are interested," said Young. He emphasized that, like the Janesville assembly, all meetings conducted locally by the Witnesses are open to the public. The Kingdom hall is located at 1320 Catalpa lane, just off bypass 14 at the east limits of Woodstock. Slate Transcendental Meditation Discussion The wise man thinks of fame just enough to avoid being despised. -Epicurus. Fame due to the achieve­ ments of the mind never perishes. -Propertius. Jeff Murphy, a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation program, will be speaking on "The Benefits of the TM program" Tuesday, May 3, at McHenry high West campus. The free public lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. "The TM technique is a very simple mental technique that reduces stress and expands awareness," Murphy said. "Scientific research that has been conducted at over 100 research institutions (including Harvard, Yale, and UCLA) throughout the world verifies that TM reduces high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and many other health related problems."
