Later, meetings were held in the separate school buildings, under the direction of the various principals. • On Friday, Aug. 24, a new teacher orientation was held at the central administration office. \ Dan DeRoche, assistant superintendent of Educational Services, spoke on Curriculum Structure and Cathy Berlinger gave a presentation on Heading. Discipline, the Glasser concept, was the subject of John Nilles, principal of Hilltop school. (Continued from page 1) MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' The request didn't make any sense to Joe Mafone and his commissioners. There was no waiting room available, and the town's own petty cash fund was only $10. Besides, the retiring lady had done a very adequate job of handling the welfare cases part time. With the expanded staff the town would be spending $30,000 a year to administer a program that was giving away only about $10,000 of town money a year. It seemed ridiculous. * And so the small town mayor set up the machinery through which the town could run its own welfare system. Learning that only about four or five were phsycially unable to work among the 25 or 30, the town withdrew from the "general assistance" program for adults. Knowing most of the 5,000 residents personally, the mayor and his commissioners considered every application, decided what was needed, and awarded the money. However, in the case of all able bodied applicants, they specified that the amounts must be repaid by various services to the com­ munity at the standard minimum wage rate, which was $2.95 an hour. They asked the recipients to do such things as washing windows, janitorial work, carpentry, etc. It's said no one wrote the mayor a letter to complain. Nobody starved and nobody, as far as the commissioners could find out, suffered any hardship. The results were described as "amazing". But the applications for the welfare rolls began to dwindle. During a four-month period, instead of the usual 120 to 150/ there were only 12. It seemed that very few people in that one small town were interested in welfare payments if they had to work for them. Jobs were not so scare but what most folks could find one if they looked hard enough. And if they had to work, they preferred some place else at a better wage. The only people who seemed upset were the state welfare officials. They sued the town to force it to reestablish the state welfare system, claiming citizens of the town were being denied a benefit available to other citizens of the state. A state judge agreed and the commissioners were ordered to reinstate the old system. They did, but they also decided to continue the new one to offer a choice. The welfare hassle had its start just a year ago this month. Even though the mayor lost in court, the battle is not over. But what is more important is the exposure the case had of glaring weaknesses in a nationwide welfare program that can be described only as HAPPY HOUR DAILY 4pm - 7pm ALL DRINKS 85C LIVE ENTERTAINMENT Thursday, Friday, Saturday MONDAY NIGHT...LADIES NIGHT ALL DRINKS 50t Wednesday 5pm-9pm BEER NIGHT (10 OZ.) 3QC GLASS FASHION SHOW-Friday 2 PM-4 PM BANQUET FACILITIES AVAILABLE UP TO 50 PEOPLE Salad Bar with Hot and Cold Buffet Salad Bar Buffet Hours: Lunch: 1 lam-3pm (Mori.-Sat.) $2.95 Sunday Brunch 10am-3pm $4.25 Children Under 12 Half Prica Inn 'Faii|ily Hoî se 4512 W.

Those of us among the 96,000,000 Americans who work for a living and pay taxes to support welfare owe a big thanks to a young city official for a great idea and the courage to do something about it. K.A.F. (Continued from page 1) DIRECT FREEZE ON SCHOOL BUDGET •' . ••• call attention to the need to take action and force the hand of districts that prefer to keep money invested rather than, pay on time. In an interesting and spirited debate which lasted almost one hour, strong feelings, presented logically and with considerable reserve, were aired about the question of funding of an en­ closure for the press box. The request for a press box was made about six months ago by Athletic Director Jim Meyers, who was reminded by Jim Preston that, at the time, no promises had been made because of other priorities, though it was certainly going to be a reality in the near future. Tom Cahill commented that this was a late date to be bringing in a price and hoping to have it completed, Meyers countered that he had quoted some prices earlier, but no approval was given, and without a directive he didn't feel he should approach con­ tractors and present the board with prices. He mentioned that members of the Athletic department had worked under a handicap with unfinished facilities and the difficult problems of poor drainage still unsolved. Ac­ cording to Meyers, many members of his staff have donated their time in helping to solve some of the difficulties, and had been involved in laying sod and other similar projects. He said that he "hated to lose good people" because of discouragement. Dr. Andreas reminded Meyers that priorities had to be con­ sidered, but that few requests had been denied in his memory. He mentioned that at last month's meeting approval was given for the steel un- derstructure and platform for the pressbox, with the en­ closure to come at a later date. Several board members ex­ pressed reservations about the safety of the platform, and were assured that adequate guard rails would be provided. Discussion had continued back and forth for some time with no opinions changing, when Steve Pollock suggested that maybe the board would be willing to match funds if enough could be found from various organizations and donations. Charles Boak, board president, stated that in view of the board's directive for everyone to hold the line on spending, he could not approve even this compromise measure. Pollock suggested that the board might allow the v enclosure to be built if all the money could be raised by solicitation. James Preston moved that the okay be given to allow the raising of all the money to complete the enclosure, and, without much enthusiasm, the board passed the motion. (Continued from page 1) VILLAGE PRESIDENT TURNS DOWN RESIGNATION Sunrise Ridge was planning to sue the board since it had not been paid. Rachel reminded Mrs. Vanderwiel that a contract had never been signed with the moving company so no suit could be initiated. John Sorenson, • another village trustee, agreed with Rachel saying, "You certainly don't pay for something you never got. We didn't make use 6f their services, so we should not be expected to pay." Rachel asked Mrs. Van­ derwiel to explain in more detail the cause of the felony charge allegedly being brought against him by the Ceta program. Mrs. Vanderwiel stated that Rachel allegedly was involved in misuse of a Ceta employee. The employee, Bob Hermes, had been hired to do lawn mowing for the village, but Rachel is being accused of using him to mow grass on property owned by Rachel. Mrs. Vanderwiel stated that the complaint came from Joe Sladek, a resident of the village. Rachel denied all of the accusations and asked that when these problems are all worked out, Mrs. Vanderwiel put her past grievances behind her and work with the president and board members for the betterment of their community. Van Peski, board trustee, stated that if a felony charge is not brought against Rachel, he would ask for the resignation of Mrs. Vanderwiel from the board. "I feel if anyone should resign from this board, it should be you, Anita," stated Van Peski. Operation CARE In Last Holiday Of Summer Season O P E R A T I O N C A R E (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) Labor day weekend will be the last holiday for the summer season. Along with the fun and activities, there are going to be many people traveling the highways to get to picnics and parties. Un­ fortunately, some of these people will not enjoy this holiday weekend because they will be involved in serious or fatal traffic accidents. To try to cut down on high­ way accidents and fatalities during the holiday period, the McHenry Illinois state police, along with 47 other state police agencies, will be involved in Operation CARE. Operation CARE was started by the National Highway Traffic Safety administration in 1977 using the joint efforts of the Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois state police. These states agreed to designate certain highways in their states which would have concentrated patrols to try to cut down on traffic violations, help stranded motorists, and most important, to cut down on traffic ac­ cidents. Since Labor day, 1977, 44 other state police organizations have joined in Operation CARE and now are producing a nation-wide operation to try to improve highway safety in the country. In Illinois, the Operation CARE highways will include all of the Interstates throughout the state. The 1979 Labor day holiday period is from 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, through midnight, Sept. 3. Interstate highways within Illinois will have added patrols to take care of any problems that may occur. As Community Theatre Returns The McHenry County Per­ forming Arts Association (MCPAA) will present the play, "The Curious Savage", at McHenry Junior high, 3711 W. Kane avenue, McHenry, Sept. 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 8 p.m. MCPAA is a non-profit organization devoted to the purpose of stimulating creativity in the area. In the 20 months that it has been in existence, MCPAA has been instrumental in presenting puppet shows for local libraries and for the Head Start program and has also offered two drama work shops at McHenry Public library for beginning and ex­ perienced actors. MCPAA's first endeavor in community theatre will offer McHenry its first community production in 20 years, and the association is proud to ' an­ nounce the cast, many of whom are McHenry residents. Featured in the cast are Ann Marie Cina, George Cina, Gloria Stewart, Nick Muschall, Marie Muschall, Renee Jende, Michelle Jende and David Peterson, all from McHenry: Gerry Schmelcher from Wonder Lake, Betty Okeson from Crystal Lake, and D.H. Martin from Antioch. "The Curious Savage" is a delightful comedy revolving around the residents of a sanitarium and their new resident, Mrs. Savage, a wonderful senior citizen widow, very wealthy and a little ec­ centric. Her three greedy children have committed her in the hope of getting all of her money. The fun begins when the wonderful and lovable patients of the santiarium join together out of fondness for Mrs. Savage to foil their greedy plans. The cooperation of the public in helping to make this first production in 20 years a success is greatly needed. Admission will be charged and group rates are available for 40 or more people by calling 344-2909 or 675-2066. Anyone interested in being involved in any capacity or in joining MCPAA can make arrangements by calling the same numbers. TAX DEADLINE Sept. 4 is the last day to make payment of the second installment of the 1978 taxes without interest. Payments may be made at county banks through normal working hours on the fourth. Mail post­ marked the fourth will be accepted without interest. There is now two percent interest on the first installment. Teachers Vote To Strike Religious Education Registration The Rev. D. Tranel, Christ the King church, Wonder Lake, announces that registrations for Religious Education classes will be taken in the school this weekend, Sept. 1-2, before and after the Masses. The Mass schedule is Saturday, 8 p.m.; Sunday, 8and 10 a.m. and noon. The religious education program includes classes for students in kindergarten through high school. Classes will begin the week of Sept. 23. "Reluctantly, but decisive­ ly," the McHenry Classroom Teachers' Association (MCTA) voted Aug. 27 95-3 to go on strike Tuesday, Sept. 4, unless considerable progress is made in their bogged down negotiations with the school board. The MCTA leaders previously proposed a strike vote for Sept. 4. MCTA indicated it was hopeful that the superintendent would cancel school that day since no learning would be taking place. Teachers were concerned about the safety and welfare of students if they were sent to school. N e g o t i a t i o n s h a v e stalemated, a MCTA officer said, as a result of the board's refusal to deal with contract changes sought by teachers. Teacher concerns are as follows: a modest cost of living raise, improved insurance, avoidance of unduly large classes so students' learning is increased, improved coor­ dination between and among teachers at each grade level, four and one-half hours of early dismissal during the school year for teacher business meetings, improved sick leave benefits and concern about improving the P.E. program so as to meet state standards. The MCTA issued the following statement Wed­ nesday: "McHenry schools have long been recognized as being outstanding in the county and state. To see this quality of education deteriorate and decline is distressing to teachers, parents, and in­ terested citizens. Accordingly, we urge the public support for our positions and that the board be advised of these feelings by the community." AID OFFICE CLOSES In observance of Labor day, the office of the McHenry county office, Department of Public Aid, will be closed Monday, Sept. 3.
