It wasn't until 1930 when a chain store branch manager decided the thing to do was combine ill the overhead- saving methods being used - and then went a step further. He supplied the last ingredient to the super­ market recipe - mass merchandising. He tried to sell his idea to two big grocery chains but was unsuccessful. It seemed too radical They weren't ready to believe that giant stores operating on a narrow profit margin could achieve and maintain the huge sales volume needed to stay alive. So he went it alone, the first honest to goodness supermarket, in an aban­ doned garage. C u s t o m e r s , t h e i r pocketbooks bent out of shape with the Depression, flocked to his store from miles around and that was the beginning. Did it work? Well, marking its first half century at the beginning of this year, there were more than 33,000 supermarkets in the country doing $154 billion in annual sales and ac­ counting for 77 percent of all retail food sales. Not a bad success story, even by the standards of Horatio Alger. - KAF BAXTER- WOQDMAN GETS COUNTY NOD (Continued from page 1) further investigation was made of the firms sub­ mitting bids. James Rakow, a member of the Selection committee, had expressed his opinion last month that Baxter & Woodman, which serves the city of McHenry among others, could handle the job, but admitted he had gone along on the Lombardo vote for the .sake of unity. Collins again brought the matter to the attention of members this week, when a report was made on the i n v e s t i g a t i o n o f qualifications. , Bill Hubbard, in ex- • plaining why he thought the ' "Baxter & Woodman firm should receive first con­ sideration, then asked for a vote on his motion, to employ the firm, which passed. M e m b e r T h o m a s Huemann of Johnsburg turned the meeting to a discussion of the FAP 420 highway which has been scheduled lo be completed from a point in Lake county to Genoa City for many years. Huemann pointed out that some persons are intent on hailing the highway con­ struction but don't have the facts and figures. Jim Rakow, highway commissioner, told mem­ bers it had been impossible to get plans and drawings for the highway because of repeated questions of ob­ jectors. He said a concerted effort was made to answer these questions, but this has required considerable lime. Rakow added that many hear the word freeway and think of high speed driving on eight lanes. "It isn't going to be like that", he assured his listeners. One local zoning request in the McHenry area was allowed and another was tabled. The latter involved property on Lincoln road for which a reclassification was asked from "A 1" Agriculture district to "E l" Estate district. Member Edward Buss of McHenry took the floor to clarify the problem, which concerned the unsuitability of this particular property for Estate zoning due to low spots. Buss suggested that action be deferred until the cluster development ordinance now under consideration is passed. However, because such zoning matters may be postponed only for 30 days, he recommended taking action, in the form of a resolution, to suspend the 30- day regulation until the act is passed in the Fall. The resolution was approved. The zoning request had been made by bank trusts for Walter J. Fritsch. The approved zoning was to reclassify Lake street property, formerly the Weber estate, from "B-2" to "B 1" Business district with bulk variation. James and Charlotte McDonough want to conduct a women's ap­ parel store in the existing residence. Reporting on the financial condition of the county, Buss told the board he expects a balance of $1,700,000 at the end of the fiscal year next Nov. 1. Buss said this figure was higher than it should be, indicating the reserve should be about IF,300,000. This was one of the reasons the finance and Salaries com­ mittee, which he heads, recommended an increase for the 1980-81 budget REPORT OF CONDITION, CONSOLIDATING DOMESTIC SUBSIDIARIES OF THE First National Bank of McHenry IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AT TH£ CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON JUNE 30,1980 PUB­ LISHED IN RESPONSE TO THE CALL MADE BY COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY, UNDER TITLE 12, UNITED STATES CODE, SECTION 161.

The entire board approved this recommendation, setting a basic pay scale chart of 4 percent and an additional 5 percent to be given department heads to use at their discretion. Originally, tile recom­ mendation had been for 8 percent, which Lou Anne Majewski of -^lgonquin felt was sufficient. However, a vote of the board was in agreement on the extra percent. Buss said the increase will mean a balance for fiscal 1981 of about $1,200,000. JUST PUTTING AROUND (Continued from page 1) from a deficit in the annual fund drive. In past years the squad has realized about $18,000 per year in donations from the fund drive. This year it fell short by 30 percent, or $6,000. Varese pointed out that, "conservatively speaking, it lakes about $20,000 annually just to maintain the existing equipment and buildirfgs. Other fund raising activities during the year are for the purpose of meeting future equipment updating needs" He continued to say that unfortunately, even the unsolicited funds received do not meet the progressive needs of the emergency medical service. • There is no doubt that the squad provides a needed service to the comunity. ' Without better financial support this service will deteriorate. At present, there is great need for three new ECG- Defibrillator units at a cost of $18,000. It is the hope of the committee that the Fall golf outing will raise sufficient money for this particular need. Anyone with questions about the puling, or who would be interested in joining the committee, is asked to contact Anthony Varese, Phillip C. Gust, Mrs. John E. (Sherry) Dunford or Ray Mathis. AWARD LIFE SAFETY BID (Continued from page 1) struction." Kelly noted that at the present time there was no consideration of federal aid for the energy ' con­ servation part of the package. The board accepted the low bid of Endurance Paving Co. of Elk Grove Village at $44,000 for the reconstruction of tennis courts at West campus. Connected with the acceptance were conditions thai a satisfactory ex­ planation be given for an unfavorable comment from a reference submitledby the bidder and that questions about possible ground water conditions at the tennis court site be resolved. A school district staff member told the board that when he worked on the construction of the West campus building he recalled "an artesian well"-flowing at that location. Discussion between the school board and their architects in­ dicated that "the slate of the art" of building and repairing outdoor tennis cburts is still in the state of flux and there seems to be little guarantee of how long they will last. The architects also displayed updated working drawings for McCracken field life safety work and advised of plans lo replace most of the wood used in the bleachers. Also lo be renovated is the press box and its access. The seating capacity of the home team bleachers will be increased from 1,100 to 1,400 plus. The amount of work being considered ranges from $99,000 to $108,000, the ar­ chitects noted. Report on the progress of Easi campus building renovalion indicated the "work was going like crazy" and that the scene resem- led a war zone. The ar- hitecls conceded that probably some of the work would carry over into the beginning of school because of tight areas of work and scheduling. The kitchen was named as one. Also approved were bids totalling $3,677.76 from six venders for audio visual equipment, which includes telex copiers, a filmstrip projector, sound projectors, cassette recorders, and classroom record players. The purchase is funded by a federal Title IV grant. Also accepted was a bid from Carrol Seating Co. for 55 art or drafting desks for both campuses at a cost of $6,998.75. At the recommendation of assistant principal Greg LaPlante, the board okayed a bid for repair of the diving stand at the West campus swimming pool for a cost of $2,100. R.J. Obenauf of Ingleside was named as the author of the lowest firm proposal for the work which will involve welding and substitution of stainless steel for corroding galvanized steel parts. The board heard and approved a long developing proposal by the Instructional Computer committee under the guidance of Ron Dale, vocational director, for the purchase of 12 Commodore Pel microcomputers at a cost estimated at $11,061.45. The board set a limit of $12,000. The purchase was rationalized as a saving of $5,435 on the current high maintenance cost of the old Sorbus equipment n$w being used. Additionally figured as compensations are a $6,600 YbUR DiNNER Is WviiiiNq! THE HERITAGE HOUSE , ii8 Rtes. 14 & 23 HARVARD EVERY TUES., WED. ft THURS.

Maintenance of the new equipment is estimated to cost about 10 percent of purchase cost, but the staff may decide to go to lime and material on possible repairs, as replacement of one new unit would be less than the 10 percent maintenance agreement. Ron schmitt, data processing instructor, said that the involvement of Brake Parts Co. in the program is strictly volun­ tary for experience of the more advanced students and could lead to a cooperative program. Schmitt also in­ dicated lhat he wasn't in­ terested in software and said that he and his staff could develop their own. At the recommendation of William Blankenhorn, atheltic director, the board okayed an increase of ad­ mission prices for athletic events from a basic $1.50 to $2.00 for adults and from $.75 to $1 for students to bring the charges in line with the rest of the Fox Valley con­ ference. INTERNATIONAL NIGHT IN CITY (Continued from page 1) language that traces its roots back lo ancient Greece and beyond. The folk dances thai have evolved over the centuries are a reflection of each country's customs and celebrations, and provide a rich background in in­ ternational culture. One of the features of the evening will be the Judith Svalander Dance theatre performing a series of folk dances in the band shell. In colorful costumes, and to a background of exhilarating music, members of ihe company will perform dances elegant and lilting, with a Spanish dance, Swedish dance, Slavonic dance, Italian tarantella, and dances from Germany and Russia. Other dances will add to the zest of the performance, and will in­ clude a rousing Mexican Hal dance in which Mrs. Svalander will urge audience parlicipation. Most folk dances were originally performed by the common people of a nation, and were lo celebrate harvests, weddings, or just a rare holiday from the labors of the hard peasant life. The dances share many similar characteristics from county to counlry, and Judith Svalander, a former McHenry resident, has taken ihe authentic steps and spirit of each Jance and given them . a theatrical flair. McHenry residents per­ forming in the festival are Jill Schaefer, Sarah Lam- bourn and Robin Irwin. At 8:30, the entertainment shifts lo the tennis courts until 11 p.m., when ihe Checkerboard Squares, Woodshed Whirlers, Rainbow Ramblers, Hip Huggers, Bachelors and Bachelorettes, and the Kammerer Rounds present a down-home slice of Americana as they share their expertise in square dancing and round dancing. These groups consistently entertain Fiesta day audiences with their whirling kaleidoscopes of color and vitality, and once again will include the public in their performance in a fascinating lesson on how to square dance. The caller for the square dancing will be Don Smith of Buffalo Grove. The callers for the round dancing-which is ballroom dancing with a caller-will be George and Joyce Kammerer of McHenry,, Since the food booths will be open from to 9 p.m., there will be plenty of lime to satisfy hunger pangs and build up energy to join the fun. Out of the realm of music and dance, but certainly a dramatic display of cultural heritage, will be an exciting karate demonstration by Young Hong. This will be earlier in the evening, in the band shell, and will offer some breathtaking feats of strength and concentration. Finally, during the evening a prize will be awarded in each of three age categories for the best costume of any nation. Whether it's true ethnic heritage or not--whether it's been a family heirloom or not--whether it has been "whipped up" just before going to the park or planned for days, the costume will add to the color and fun of the festival, and might even win a prize. The blue Fiesta Days guide has the necessary entry form on page 29, or stop in at the Chjjmber office on Green street tofeffier. Age categories are for children 3- 10, and 11-17 and for adults 18 and over. Entry forms must be in by July 24. The Friday night festivity is Theme night, and promises to make lawn- chair or park bench travel the hit of the '80's, as McHenry brings a little bit of the world home to its citizens. Disturbances Bring Charges DELTA KAMESWALK On Sunday, July 20, at 7 p.m. guided walks lo the Delta Kames section of Glacial Park Conservation area will be conducted by the McHenry County Defenders as part of their effort to inform the public about this unusual natural area and the threat posed to it by the proposed FAP 420 freeway.

Weingart was charged with criminal damage lo property over $150, disor­ derly conduct, resisting arrest and violation of curfew. The police were also called to the home of Joan Brastad lasi Saturday afternoon in response to a domestic dispute. A family member, Vincent Brastad (no permanent address) had arrived at the home at 4526 Lakewood, McHenry, and had refused to leave when requested to do so, the report said. Brastad became un­ cooperative and was charged with criminal trespass to land. Bond was set at $1,000. ' Thomas B. Thompson, 20, of 1614 Highview, McHenry, was arrested by McHenry police last Friday for possession of cannabis. , While on routine patrol at Elm and Meadow, the police noticed a bottle rocket launched from a nearby parked car. As the officer approached, the car drove away. The car was stopped about a block from the in­ tersection. The officer asked permission to search the car and found the cannabis while looking for other fireworks. Michael Youngquist, 21, of 5623 Wonder Woods, Wonder Lake, was taken into custody by Sheriff's police after atempting to avoid a traffic stop. The Sheriff's police saw the Youngquist vehicle run a stop sign and flee. At the jail, he became abusive, ac­ cording to the report.

At about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, someone blew out ihe rear window of a McCullom Lake squad car while it was parked in front of the Little Chef restaurant on Riverside drive. It is believed a firecracker was used. Someone entered the St. John the Baptist church at 2362 Church street, McHenry, and partially dismantled a steel scaffold, allowing it to fall on the altar. The Sheriff's police responded to a boat fire on the Fox river near Mineral Springs road. The boat was found to be a Sheriff's patrol boat which was stolen from the McHenry locks. A second fire ignited about two hours later which destroyed the dash equip­ ment and radios. The loss was estimated at about $10,000. Three men were arrested by McHenry police for fighting Wednesday night in a parking lot behind a Green street tavern. Henry Retek, Sr., 42, of 1177 Rocky Beach, McHenry, Monty L. Corso, 34, of 1614 Oakleaf, McHenry, and Joseph J. Retek, of Fox Lake, were all charged under a McHenry ordinance against fighting. A car driving south in the northbound lane of Front street last Wednesday evening piqued the interest of McHenry Police Officer Thomas Jenkins.
