In depth research into nutrition led the committee to feel that ice cream, which is now sold in the schools, is judged somewhat harmful to the nutrition of the students, a n d r e c o m m e n d e d discontinuing the selling of ice cream on a daily basis. However, ice cream would continue to be served through Type A lunches as per the head cook's menu. The new SEDOM budget was presented to the board, and the executive board member from Johnsburg was directed to show board approval. Mr. DeWolfe reported on the Title I program, stating they had received excellent ratings for the im­ plementation of the program.

Accompanying her letter was a picture of three- m o n t h - o l d C a n a d i a n Walkers shot during hunting season only 6 feet from her door. One of the bullets passed through her metal storm door. The lady shuddered for what could have happened if children, who were not in school the day of the shooting, had wandered in the path of the guns. The same lady recounts that in her work with the handicapped, she has recently cared for a girl "trying desperately to walk, talk and write". Her left side was paralyzed by a stray bullet that hit her head. Sometimes ~ as in this case-- it becomes necessary to be angry. KAF SCHOOL BUDGET IS BALANCED (Continued from page 1) order to maintain the ex­ cellence of the Johnsburg educational system. Plans for a teacher In­ stitute day were announced for Aug. 29.

The Brock family, who own the home, are out-of- town, according to the neigh bor. McHenry Fire Chief Glenn Peterson was unable to make a damage estimate or cite a cause for the blaze Monday and he could not be reached by press time Tuesday. He did say an investigation into the fire was being conducted. STUDENT COMPARES LIFESTYLES (Continued from page 1) would not find typing or office machines courses in high school. "There are some wood­ working and metalworking courses," she noted. Miss Gilmore attended the same school throughout the year she stayed in Australia and she readily picked up the Australian-English accent. "The accent came naturally because you're hearing it all the time," she said, "although, I've lost about 50 percent of it already." Some of the problems plaguing the American, like drug abuse and vandalism, were not as noticeable in the Australian schools. "I'm sure there was a certain amount of drug traffic, but it was hidden," Miss Gilmore pointed out. "It also depended upon the kids you hung around with." She commented that when Australian youths reach the teen years, they tend to spend more time with their friends. The teens, she added, lead similar lives - going to parties, movies, the disco, etc. While the Australian dollar is faring better than the American on the world market, inflation is taking its toll in Australia. Miss Gilmore said automobiles in Australia were" terribly expensive" and gasoline was selling for $.40 a liter ($1.52 a gallon). Australians, she said, eat a lot of lamb and she noted that there are about 3 sheep for every person in the country. Often, Miss Gilmore recalled, kangaroos could be seen grazing among the sheep and cattle. The English custom of morning and afternoon teas has carried over through the years. The weather in Australia tends to be quite hot and very few of the homes are air conditioned. "A lot of the people have swimming pools," she said. "The people there were very good to me and it was easy to become attached," she explained. "But, it's good to be home. Being away for a year really makes you appreciate your family and your hometown." HOME GUTTED BY FIRE-Fire fighters from Companies I and II of the McHenry Fire department prepare to enter the smoldering shell of a home that was gutted by fire early Monday morning. No cause or damage estimate for the blaze at 5510 Fox Lake road, McHenry, was available at press time Tuesday morning. An investigation into the fire is being conducted, according to McHenry Fire Chief Glenn Peterson. STAFF PHOTO-ANTHONY OLIVER MALIBU ESTATES PLAT AGREEMENT (Continued from page 1) most cities, will have more "empty nesters" and many children will be leaving the old home town and will not be coming back. Grossman also touched briefly on suggestions to redo the downtown plan, referring specifically to the proposed ampitheater which would overlook Boone creek and extend back toward Route 120. With appropriate landscaping it could be a focal point for the city ac­ t i v i t i e s . P r o v i s i o n s f o r concerts in the city park is also another prospect they could be planning for, he added. PARKING DISPUTE ENDS (Continued from page 1) dance to be held Aug. 27 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Pearl street park. Alderman Harker made the motion saying, "While my interest in rock music is minimal, I'll make the motion to hire this group for $400." The Council voted to deepen Boone creek in order to open plugged culverts under the bridge on Oak- wood drive. Payments and bond reductions as authorized by Baxter and Woodman were approved as follows: payment of $90,283.50 to Keno and Sons for work on the sewer plant expansion, bond reduction of $65,765.24 for McHenry Lakes Estates, bond reduction from $653,609 to $201,324 and from $88,496 to $16,815 (commercial) for Residential Development Group. At the recommendation of the License committee, chaired by Alderman Wieser, a request from the Mental Health Association of Illinois for a "bell ringer drive" was denied. Alderman Wieser pointed out that little or no money solicited from the City would come back to McHenry. The Council also voted to purchase 290-feet of steel pipe to correct a sewer problem on Clearview, as requested by Fourth Ward Aldermen Schooley and Meurer.
