STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Parking Lot Accidents Head List Of Mishaps A school parking lot proved to be less than the safest place for a driver to park a car this past week, with both the West campus lot and the Valley View lot being the scenes of hit-and- run accidents. The first of the two involved a car owned by James Noga of 4821 Flanders road in McHenry. He told police that he parked his car in the McHenry high school West campus parking lot at about 7 p.m., and when he returned to the vehicle at 9 p.m., discovered the damage. Damage to the Noga auto was estimated at $400, and police do not know the identity of the driver whose car struck Noga's. The second accident oc­ curred Tuesday afternoon at Valley View school. The victim, Donna Mical of 507 Stratford court, McHenry, told police she parked her auto at Valley View school lot near the school busses at about 3 p.m. She added that when she came out at 4:15 p.m., her auto had a dent on the left, rear side. The police report indicated that the investigating officer found a blue paint transfer on the right, rear bumper of a school bus. Apparently* an was in the unaware he Gerhke car. McKillip's license plate number was obtained by a third party and given to Ms. Gehrke. The final parking lot accident occurred in front of a store on W. Rt. 120, in which a car driven by Lidija Ziutuns of 4703 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, struck a pop machine in front of the store. She told police she pulled into the parking space, but did not apply her brakes, striking the machine. Finally, Richard A. Woolwine of 509 Mineral Springs road, McHenry, was ticketed for reckless driving following a two-car collision Monday af­ ternoon on Sherman drive. Neither Woolwine, nor the driver of the truck involved in the crash, Martin J. Newman of Woodstock, was injured and the Woolwine auto sustained more than $100 damage. Woolwine told police he was southbound on Sherman when he saw a man with a yellow hat. hold up his hand. He added that he also saw the oil truck pull toward him, striking the side of his vehicle, which caused him to drive his vehicle over the curb.

Donald J. Deckman State Senator Jack Schaffer. R-33, said this week he is seeking to determine why McHenry and parts of Lake and Kane counties do not qualify for federal road funds that became available when the decision was made not to build the Crosstown Expressway in its entirety. Schaffer has written to Senators Charles Percy and Adlai E. Stevenson, III; Congressmen Robert McClory and John * Anderson; and Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation Director John Kramer in an effort to learn why these suburban counties do not qualify for a share of the available road funds. In his letter, Sen. Schaffer points out, "When the Regional Transportation Authority was formed, the U.S. Department of Transportation said the three counties were a part of the greater Chicago urban area and, therefore, had to be in­ cluded." He continued: "Yet when it comes to awarding some $240 million in funds designed to improve highways and in the metropolitan area, the federal transportation agency says we are not a part of the Chicago urban area." Sen. Schaffer said he wants to know why the disparity in policy and what can be done to correct the situation. "If we are part of the Chicago urban area for the RTA gas tax, we must most certainly be included for the extra road money," Schaffer stated. When the decision was made not to build the Crosstown Expressway in total, as originally planned, it was agreed the funds set aside for the highway would be used in Illinois for other needed road- construction and im­ provements. i "There is a pressing need for such improvements in McHenry, Lake and Kane counties and I think we're entitled to our fair share of return on the highway dollar/' Sen. Schaffer said. Sen. Schaffer indicates, however, that "the only other possible solution to this par­ ticular situation would be to allow McHenry county and those parts of Lake and Kane Counties that are not included in the urban area by the U.S. Department of Transportation, to disconnect from the Regional Transportation Authority and this would, therefore, eliminate the double standard."

The symbol "R" signifies that the trademark on the label is registered with the U. S. Patent Office. The symbol which con­ sists of the letter "U" inside the letter "O" is one whose use is authorized by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, for use of foods which com­ ply with the Jewish dietary laws. The symbol "K" is used for certain food manu­ facturers to indicate that the food is "Kosher," that is, it complies with the Jewish dietary laws and its process­ ing has been under the di­ rection of a rabbi. Dentists and Serpents Two young ladies were discussing their fathers. One boasted that her "daddy is a den­ tist." "That's nothing," replied the other, "my daddy is a civil serpent."
