STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Set Home Improvement Upkeep Cost Survey Questions on spending for the improvement and upkeep of residential properties will be asked of a sample of households in this area by U.S. Bureau of the Census interviewers bet­ ween now and Oct. 15, Stanely D. Moore, director of the Bureau's regional office in Chicago, has announced. The home improvement survey, conducted four times a year, yields in­ formation of value to the public and private sectors. The households in this area are among approximately 5,000 throughout the United States included in the sur­ vey Expenditures for the upkeep and improvement of residential properties in the United States for the first quarter of 1980 totaled $9.2 billion, or $49.4 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate. During 1979, the seasonally adjusted annual rate ranged from $41.0 to $45.3 billion. The law requires that personal information reported to the Bureau of the Census must be held in strictest confidence. Published reports show statistical totals only, and no information identifying individual's or households is released.

ADOPT $8 MILLION BUDGET (Cwritinued from paqf 1) In a series of personnel actions the board approved hiring 16 classified em­ ployees, bus drivers, cooks, aides, clerks and custodians, and 4 coaches identified as Pat Wirtz, head girls' basketball coach; Jeff Varda, freshman boys' basketball coach; Bill Blankenhorn, sophomore boys' basketball coach; and Linda Usrey, assistant boys' swimming coach. The board also okayed the terminations of five classified employees and one coach, Robert Ludwigsen, who resigned as wrestling coach. The board accepted a number of bids and proposals as recommended by school administrators. These were for the Building Trades house and included plumbing materials totalling $2,984 44 awarded to Creative Kitchens, $2,153.40, and Dodge Plumbing and Heating, $831.04; lumber and other building materials totalling $3,169.76 to Totem W h o l e s a l e L u m b e r , $1,959.76; Hall and Eckert Lumber $539.68; Alexander Lumber, $516.63; and McHenry Lumber, $153.69; gas furnace and related items Althoff Industries, $1,241.73; sewer and water line, driveway base and grading Hughes, Inc., $1,445. Other bids approved in­ cluded an oxygen acetylene manifold welding system for East campus at $2,194.40 for Fox River Welding / Products; a storage garage at McCracken field at $5,710 to Onan Construction Co.' woodshop equipment repair items at $1,598.80 to Voell Machinery Co. and for draperies (flame retardant) for three corner classrooms and guidance and the nurses room at $2,035 to McHenry Paint, Glass and Wallpaper. Superintendent Robert Swartzloff announced the approval by the state board of education at 1980'81 Title I project for $19,101 to aid e d u c a t i o n a l l y d e p r i v e d students. He also acknowledged the receipt of a new American flag for East campus donated by the American Legion auxiliary. The board also elicited promises of alternative actions to merchandise the building trades houses when member Dave Benrud pointed out that last year's home built in Whispering Oaks remained unsold. He asked the instructors when it might be sold. Swartzloff said his staff had discussed and agreed they need direction. They are now getting new appraisals. Some of the real estate people are recommending that its selling price be adjusted more in line with the current state of economy. It was set over a year ago. Ron Dale, head of the Industrial Arts department, said that it is not clear what a valid appraisal is. They wanted to use real estate people to set the value and assist in selling it. The price had been set at $79,500 but the school was open to offers. Board Jim Tonyan asked if the school could sell it on contract, perhaps with an attractive initial finance rate and a balloon payment in five years. Swartzloff noted that he would check with school attorneys to see if the school could enter into c o n t r a c t f i n a n c i n g arrangements. The discussion brought out that building trades and business teachers believed that the house is currently overpriced. Dale said they could utilize realtors but had to avoid listing it with only one. Benrud asked what profit the instructors expected the school to realize. Dale said the classes had erected seven or eight homes to date and they hope to sustain the s u c c e s s f u l b u i l d i n g program. Their goal was to meet the fair market value. Benrud and several other board members noted that the houses were not professionally built, which prospective buyers either knew or could see. Dale said this was being taken into consideration and more of the masonry work was being let out and more care is being taken on finish work. TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT (Continued from page 1) noted by the unit, but he attributed much of the in­ crease to the increased road construction taking place in McHenry, increased traffic during the Fiesta days celebration and an overall increase in the population of the City and its environs. The program, which started last April, was made possible by a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Sgt.

In addition to the en­ forcement aspect of the project, the TEAM unit is also involved in driver's education. Sgt. Zujewski noted that TEAM member? will be involved in a driver's education program for senior citizens and added that unit members vill also be going into the schools as part of the education effort. In other areas, the TEAM members have conducted traffic surveys and have recommended where traffic control is needed in the City. The TEAM car is on patrol throughout the City, but the traffic surveillance em­ phasis has been directed toward the high volume roadways -- Elm street, Richmond road and Front street. Sgt. Zujewski pointed out that the people of McHenry appear to have accepted the unit and added that there have been few problems. Ms. McFadden said, "The TEAM car is plainly marked," noting that the car is not hidden behind buildings or billboards. "When that car pulls out behind you, you know you've made a mistake." The other two TEAM members, Officers Langdon and Prazak, were both schooled in selective traffic enforcement and on-scene accident investigations at the Police academy in Springfield, as a part of this program.

Family Entertainment In Film For Church E n t e r t a i n m e n t f o r children of a moral and spiritual nature is not easy to find. Entertainment of this kind for the entire family is even more rare. But Heartland Productions of DesMoines, Iowa has managed to capture the attention of both children and adults with a new film, "Happiness Is..." It provides a view of the lives of three boys who form a secret club and the girl who, when not admitted to the club, is determined to expose it and the boys. The film develops into a series of Timber Creek Farms and Nurseries events as exciting as any of Tom Sawyer's adventures. In its premier in DesMoines, "Happiness Is..." was seen by over 7,600 people in three days of showings. The size of the audiences and their en­ thusiastic response made it one of the most successful events of its kind in that city. This type of response is anticipated here in McHenry when "Happiness Is..." is shown at the Alliance church, 3815 West Bull Valley road, Sunday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. as part of the Children's Rally day. Other events for the day will include a puppet show, games and recreation and worship service with children ushers and music. Children of all ages are invited to join us for this very special day. 12608 CHARLES ROAD 338-0200 WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS 338-0209 PPLESI Red & Golden Delicious and Jonathans have arrived! •All picked & graded, U.S. No. 1 •Direct from grower •2V & larger in size Plus Timber Creek's $2 "one good thing leads to another" Bonus.
