I CAI\ IWJUIXU UIHMi... AT CHRISTMAS TIME (Continued from page 1) received a poncho and a handmade sweater. As though their energy knew no bounds, these ladies have not only taken over the needs of local Head Start children but supplied gifts to 46 Head Start youngsters in Harvard last year and again this year. Recently they made colorful Christmas boxes and packed them with \homemade cookies which were distributed at the library-sponsored party for Head Start children last week. Their gifts also extend to the families, with gifts for almost every member packed neatly in SO brown bags. They will be given to the children during the annual Head Start Christmas party at the church Dec. 20. Birthright in McHenry and Johnsburg have benefitted from the Willing Workers generosity also. And when the Housing Authority of McHenry county learned of their work, the director appeared before them, asking for aid. Blankets and quilts were forthcoming in large numbers. Although it is women who display their dexterity with the needle, several of their husbands also have a hand in making their undertakings successful. They come to the library to make coffee (for which money is secured from the sale of canvas bags they make) and move the heavy tables on which the women work. Each one brings her own sandwich and the group usijplly works from 0:30 until 2 o'clock. What do senior citizens in McHenry do to fill their day? The answer for between 10 and 20 of them between the ages of 60 and 75 might well be the same: "Feeling good". And well they may, for the wonderful spirit of Christmas permeates these very special people the whole year! TELL IMPACT OF CAREER CENTER LOCALLY (Continued from page 1) into industrial education, the schools offer six main topics for training: agriculture, metal trades, woodworking, drafting, graphic arts, and power mechanics, Dale explained. They can select any four, and as freshmen, go through a course (survey) titled Orientation to In­ dustrial Education and Agriculture. A d v a n c e d c o u r s e s available following the above are listed as various levels of drafting, metal working, power and agriculture mechanics, woodworking, automotive services, millwork and cabinetmaking, construction and building trades, machine shop, welding, agriculture technology, small engine repair, and then for the last year, diversified occupations where the senior student goes into a job in the com­ munity to gain experience in his chosen "skill". Dale emphasized that the school needs the community for the capstone experience. Dale reviewed the needs of the existing program of­ ferings, some of which could have been met by the now defunct area career center. Their thinking must be about where the future is and the future is in word processing. They must expand their data processing hands on training capability. The machines now being used are outdated. Most needed are CRT's (computer remote ter­ minals). Presently business edu­ cation is on two tracks, one which leads to a career of executive secretary and the other for learning disabled which will give them some office skills. While the schools have batteries of typewriters on which students can practice, this skill may be rapidly out­ dated with newly developed technology. In accounting classrooms the big need is for new desk top calculators, the use of which has not been replaced by the now omni­ present " hand held calculators. And data processing is closely tied in with accounting, Dale ad­ ded. The auto shop at West stands for "hands on" training that will ac­ commodate 16 to 20 students per class. Enrolled presently are 84 juniors and 34 seniors. The program badly needs more space and if the area career center were available, a number of top students would have been sent there. A recently instituted program covers small engine repair which looks to the future needs of 44 dealers and shops in the area. In­ struction covers service and sales of small gas powered machinery. While the graphic arts space at West is large, there is a need for the latest equipment with which students whould have to work in actual industry situations. At East campus, the graphic arts lab is definitely not equal and is considered inadequate by the staff. Dale says there are plans at West to move the graphic arts lab to a more central location where the air conditioning will provide a better operating en­ vironment for the equipment and at the same time make the present space available for a metal working lab. He noted that with the search for solutions in the energy crisis, metal working is where the future is now. Dale estimated that in ex­ cess of $200,000 would be needed for properly equipping such a lab. A problem now is to have available time for students to actually operate machinery. This is where local industry can assist, he reiterated. Improvements in the East c a m p u s v o c a t i o n a l education shops and classrooms are included in the life safety modifications which are in progress, Dale noted. For instance, with the movement of some par­ titions new welding equip­ ment is to be added and hazardous fuel containers are to be moved outside and then piped to work stations. Woodshop and metalshop facilities at East are presently superior to West, it was indicated. A Simulated Employment Experience (SEE) program is in effect at East. In the woodshop sixty-five special education students from the ninth and tenth grades work at producing a salable line of toys and develop team work and basic skills. Dale notes that the neigh­ boring high school at Johnsburg has met the % WVttUViiUt education, left by the area career center failure, by buying into the Lake County Career center program. Dale adds that McHenry could send qualified students to the Lake county center or even to McHenry County college for some programs. However, the time for buying in no longer 1 exists and while they might get students in now, there will be no places reserved for them if the program fills up. The students could be refused in the future. The same situation would exist at MCC, Dale said. Dale philosophized from his own experience. "Parents with kids in school (are the ones who) really own it. There is progression of new parents with such interest. Teachers should listen to the new owners and serve their needs." He continued that if the district likes what (programs) it has, they should stay. They should be changed only if parents are dissatisfied, and the programs would serve the district year after year. And most important, they should be teaching students how to learn. They don't want to be known as strictly vocational teachers. WHOPPING FUND EASES TAX WAIT (Continued from page 1) retaining wall of boulders behind the Applied Science building. The wall was recommended to the board by MCC agriculture program coordinator Don Barrett, as a way to stop soil erosion in the area from clogging the water runoff system at the college. MCC landscaping students will build the wall as part of a spring course project. The board also established an energy task force made up of MCC faculty, ad­ ministrators, students and board trustees Barbara Pautz and Eugene Meyer. The task force will seek out possible projects to save energy on the MCC campus and make recommendations to the board for their im­ plementation. The board also approved unanimously a motion to hold two meetings in January, February and March, to be held on the second and fourth Thur­ sdays. The next meeting of the board will be Jan. 10, at 7:30 p.m. in the board room on campus.

All of this while we know for a certainty there is a paper shortage. ' The volume of discarded mail, some requiring postage as .high as $2, that reaches one small newspaper office daily is some indication of the tremendous waste that occurs nationwide in a year's time. j But maybe the most disheartening news of the season is the increasing number of thefts of Christmas trees from private residences.

Lash Out At Republicans Dems Name Candidates Charging that the Republican party has found a way to circumvent a Democratic challenge in the race for McHenry county sheriff, Lorens Tronet said, "The real tragedy is that the citizens have been deprived of a choice. Tronet was speaking at a press conference of the McHenry County Central Democratic committee, held Monday night in McHenry. According to Tronet, the Democratic candidate for Sheriff, Keith Nygren, cannot run for office if he retains his position on the Crystal Lake police force. Tronet said he spoke with members of the Crystal Lake Police and Fire commission, the Crystal Lake chief of police and the County Merit commission, among others. Tronet added that the Crystal Lake Merit com­ mission is "not inclined to give Nygren a leave of ab­ sence to run for office." The commission, Tronet said, would only grant a leave of Holiday Deadlines Because of the Christmas and New Year holidays, early deadlines for the Plaindealer have been established. For the first issue of Christmas week, deadlines will be Friday, Dec. 21, at noon for display advertising and news and 4 p.m. for classified advertising. For the New year holiday, the deadlines will be the same times Friday, Dec. 28. Neighborhood correspondents must have their columns in the office by noon Thursday, Dec. 20, and 27. absence for reasons of health or military service. "Henry Nulle (the Republican candidate) was a policeman until 30 days ago," Tronet commented. Tronet charged that the County Merit commission granted Nulle a leave of absence without even asking why he wanted one. "One of the conditions of the leave was that Nulle not accept a similar job," Tronet explained. Tronet then said that Nulle had been given a newly created position of "under- sheriff" in which the only difference was that "he does not carry a gun or a badge." "He has the same desk, same car, same salary," Tronet said. Tronet concluded saying that if Nygren did anything that could be construed as political, he could be brought up on charges and dismissed and so his petition was not filed. Democratic candidates named were: Mario Perez of Woodstock for state's at­ torney, Ron Stroupe of Huntley for auditor, Dr. James O'Laughlin of Crystal Lake for coroner, Laurie Burrell of Wonder Lake for r e c o r d e r o f d e e d s , a n d Lorens Tronet of Crystal Lake for clerk of Circuit court. Two of the Democratic candidates for the County board District 2, John G. Meehan and Carol Perschke, dropped out of the race for personal reasons. This leaves Robert Griskenas and Janet A. Pence as the Democratic candidates for the County board. A complete list of filings for both parties will appear in the Friday issue. Identify Man Electrocuted/ In Car Crash The young man who was killed last Thursday mor­ ning when his car struck d utility pole on Lincoln road has been identified1 by McHenry County Sheriff's police as Brett A.
