One resolution concerns the entrance of illegal aliens in this country with the responsibility of who is to ascertain their qualifications for employment spelled out Another resolution concerns moving forward with legislation to identify buyers of farmland. This is aimed at preventing foreign buyers from accumulating farmland in blind '.rusts, Hill said. The heavy losses farmers have taken with the collapse of grain dealers in parts of the state has prompted a proposal to ask the- state of Illinois Department of Agriculture to establish more stringent regulations controlling grain dealers so that if a grain dealer goes bankrupt farmers are not saddled with sizeable losses The committee wants to know if farmers are as angered with the failure of Congress to move forward in replacing Lock and Dam 26 at Alton as they were a year ago At that time, in resolutions adopted at the state level, farmers harshly criticized Congress for its failure to approve funds for construction so the mid- American waterway--the Mississippi river-won't be tied up with inadequate or broken down locks and dam at that keystone location. Both the Illinois and Mississippi river traffic must pass through the Alton lock, a facility already handling far more barge traffic than it was designed for MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from n*sre 1) to her of her rescue by the late Jerry Hettermann In spirit, the pretty Californian will be with Rescue squad members the night of Aug 26, hoping others will give support to an undertaking that may result in other "miracles" in the year ahead. KAF ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL TO OPEN THIS FALL (Continued from page 1) meeting was called to order and Jim Ball was elpcted temporary chairman. Since time is rather short until the opening of school. several pressing issues were discussed. First was the location of the new school. Several locations were discussed and members will visit each to determine the one most suitable, making a final decision within three days. Committees were also ap­ pointed to make arrangements for handling financial, ac­ counting and insurance needs. It was unanimously voted to appoint Douglas Pratt as director of the school and Jane Ross as a teacher Two ad­ ditional aides will be approved at a later date. The subject of tuition was discussed at some length. Although the school will be a non-profit organization, there must be sufficient funds to provide a quality education The final vote, approved unanimously, was for a tuition fee of $630 per year If, after a semester of operation, this figure is higher than necessary, the tuition rate will be reduced The goal of the school is a minimum of twenty students for the first year and a maximum of thirty students The aim is to present an academic atmosphere that is stimulating and motivating, where each student is an in­ dividual The school will be a part of the Chicago Alternative Schools network, an organization of private alternative schools that lend assistance and advice to each other The school will also apply for recognition by the Illinois Office of Education The question of accreditation was raised by some members They feared students would not be admitted to college because of graduation from a non- accredited school. However, it was pointed out that this is certainly not the case Colleges will accept students from non- accredited schools In this area,*-Woodstock schools are not accredited by North Cen­ tral, yet their students have no problem in entering college, and students from the DuPage school have been accepted at the University of Michigan and Vassar Any individual who would like more information on the McHenry Alternative high school may call the director at 344-2424 MAKE ARREST IN MURDER (Continued from page 1) and went to the apartment, where he found her dead.

A thorough search revealed no trace of drugs in her apart­ ment ; theft was ruled out; and investigators concluded she had no enemies. The murder victim lived with her family in Wonder Lake for about two and one-half years and graduated from Harrison grade school. They moved to Indiana ten years ago and later to California. Mr. and Mrs. Liem and two younger children returned to Wonder Lake three years ago.

Cinderella's fairy godmother was probably the inventor of the first effective rodent control system - she changed mice into horses and rats into footmen to help her beautiful godchild get to the ball. Rats and mice are helpful and useful only in fairy tales - they are responsible for more illness and death than any other group of mammals and are universally feared and despised. Disease organisms which may be carried by rodents include those causing rat bite f e v e r , l e p t o s p i r o s i s , salmonellosis, trichinosis, murine typhus fever, plague, Rickettsial pox and other diseases. Helpless infants and invalids are often threatened by rat bites - a far more common menace than is usually realized. But man's carelessness in handling food and refuse allows large rodent populations to live in proximity with him - a population that has been estimated at one rat per person in the United States. Recent improvements in environmental sanitation and rodent control have resulted in a drop in the estimated rat population to one rat for every two people - putting the J SOn WATER RENTAL NEW, FULLY AUTOMATIC WATER SOFTENERS NO installation charge 2 year option to buy with FULL rental fee deducted ONE phone call can answer any questions Phone 312-259-3393 Rent-a-Sott, a division of the Arlington Soft Water Company 2111. Northwest Hwy., Arlington Heights McHenry county rat population at about 60,000. Rats and mice are respon­ sible for damaging or con­ taminating $5 to $100 worth of food and other items a year. Rodent populations can be reduced by making food, water, and living space unavailable to them - by getting rid of the capacity every area in the community has to support them. Major sources of rodent food are improperly handled gar­ bage, food and field crops - if food sources are reduced or eliminated, the rodent population is also reduced. Complaints about careless or improper storage of garbage are received daily by McHenry County Health department sanitarians - complaints are investigated and if valid, persons responsible are given notice to correct bad conditions immediately. The Health department will also provide bait boxes to help eliminate rodents and advise homeowners and businessmen on effective environmental sanitation methods. Killing rats and mice without using good environmental methods is ineffective, because the rodents' high birth rate soon causes populations to regain their former levels. This is added to by the rodent young having a greater chance of survival because of lack of competition. .American Viewpoints He serves hu party best who serves hu country best. Rutherford B. Hayes a Thoughts In Prison (On page 1 of this Issue is a story about a McHenry county convicted robber as he views prison life in Illinois today. Below are examples of his poetic talent and his thoughts expressed behind bars). \ SPRING 1 Spring, the beginning of life, the fading of shadows, y Seeds sprouting from soil warmed by the sun. } Mounds of leaves gathered before the winter snows, Scattered by the winds of a task left undone. Toys and tools that have been lost for so long, Appear from beneath the snow, scarred and soaked. | Jarring the memory, the day it began to snow, Many cold months ago, whije donning the heavy coat. Formations of geese, heading North, heading home, Their distant calling caressing the warm air. Even the Red Breasted Robin, hopping around the yard, Has come home once again, feeling very debonair. The sound of rushing water attracting little ears, Models of dams and spillways appear everywhere. Cans hung on trees glitter as they sway and slowly fill, Visions of maple syrup prompting everyone to share. Kites decorate newly budding trees in an array of color, Shrieks of disappointment as they slowly break and tear. Bicycles and wagons, all cleaned and oiled, Preparing them for another long summer of wear. Lawns and fields take on the green of velvet, Flowers reaching toward the sky in earnest. Gardens of a past summer submerged in glistening pools, » A disarray of broken limbs and vines protruding in unrest. Fishing poles and tackle boxes are examined with care, Hooks sharpened, new lines replacing the old. Boats and boat motors, tested and painted, Insuring a summer of pleasure, one yet to unfold. Storm windows and doors are replaced with screens, Spring cleaning driving everyone outdoors, out of the way. A house ravaged by the bitter winds of winter, Scraped and painted, until once again bright and gay. Tlie sweet smell of freshly mowed grass, Barbecue pits, campfires, swimming pools, and roller skates. When then; just isn't enough time in one day. And the pace at an unbelievable, fast moving rate. The familial sting of a thousand hungry insects, Crickets and frogs add to the peaceful night sound. Sounds that are rrusi£ to our ears, enlightening hearts, When everyday new friends, new places to explore are found. V THOUGHTS IN PRISON "A strange feeling, compulsion I guess you could say, Drives me to write a few searching lines, To shed the burden if only for a short time, A burden that seems to ever increase in time". "Daily Lask God and myself, 'Which way do I turn?' Answers to questions I pursue in fear. Fear of myself, of the gnawing reality. Of no one lef t, no one to be close and near". "The children's pictures were once again on my wall Twice I have tried, and twice I have failed. They are now, again in my Bible, close to God. Pictures are not the same, sent through the mail". "Something I now search for, I cannot find. As I write, probing for the release I need, Or perhaps it's just the voice of darkness I now am in, Stumbling blindly, deception paying no heed". J 95 Die In Traffic Crashes During July The superintendent of Illinois state police, Lynn E. Baird, has announced the latest figures which indicate that during the month of July, 195 persons died from injuries sustained from traffic accidents on Illinois streets and highways State Police, District 2, which covers Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties, reports 180 persons have been killed in these counties since Jan 1 of this year.
