PG. 12, SEC. 1- PLAIN DEALER- APmZ, 1967 SUPER vision WINS Qre a m Trip For UNANIMOUS VOTE " * AT BOARD MEETING McHenry Queen (continued from page 1) The board has given approval to a proposal of Sheriff John Carroll regarding some alteration of the jail to provide space for male juveniles on the third floor. At present, they are taken to Waukegan. By sending only female juveniles and female prisoners to Waukegan, it is felt a considerable savings of timewould result to deputies. The final vote will come at the May 9 ,meeting, after costs are obtained. BROADEN BASE The; board expressed a plan" to broaden the base to extend care, to mkny others not now included in the Department of Health program of the county. In order to receive governmental aid under Medicare, it was necessary for the county to ' establish a' health department last July. Although a considerable sum of money was allowed in the budget to cover anticipated needs, government funds have made it necessary to expend only $757 from the county budget fof care over the ten-month period. For this reason the board plans to extend coverage to others. A report of the committee on legislation informed the board on the activities of Supervisors Dean, May and Ruth during their attendance at sessions of the General Assembly in Springfield, when they represented McHenry county on the townshio level. The supervisors advised of action taken to date on measures of special interest to the board and the people it serves. ELECTION BILLS The election committee reported perusing election bills from April 4 in regard to the township and mental health ballots. The total expenditure was $16,325.50, one-half of which is to be billed by the county clerk to the townships. The election bills for April in Regard to the Junior college vote was unanimously passed, the total expenditure being$4,112.- 72. The question of insurance coverage for county employees and elected officials came before the board. Much controversy resulted and a decision on future procedure will be decided May 9. At present, two systems ace optional to those involved. The inevitable court house sit£ problem was brought before tiie board with an announcement that Crystal Lake's Chamber of Commerce is interested in a site in that community. It was decided that a meeting would be called shortly after the regular May 9 meeting between the supervisors, the county building committee, the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and any other persons interested in being present. SUGGEST AID A suggestion was made Tuesday that some money be deposited in Boone county banks for a period of six months to give temporary assistance to business people who suffered extensive damage in the Friday tornado, until government help can be obtained. No action will be taken until the opinion of the state's attorney is received on the legality of such action. In zoning action, a request for a change by Dr. Lee Gladstone to establish a geriatrics center on Riverside drive, north of the city, was granted. The petition of John J. Janette of Richmond township for re-zoning to permit industry on a particular parcel of land was denied. This particular request has provided a long and complicated history before the board. After recommended approval by the zoning board of appeals, the request was denied by the county board. Later, two committees from among the board studied the situation. Although the last one recommended approval Tuesday, the petition was denied. After a recent request for establishment of a trailer park in the county, the board has studied recommendations of a national trailer park organization, which were presented Tuesday. Action was held over until the May meeting when questions arose concerning certain requirements. The Motor Fuel Tax allotment made March 10 was announced at $1,231.98 for McHenry township and $980.02 for Nunda. The McHenry total was largest in the county. A picture page showing tor- ; nado damage in the McHenry area and also photos of last , Sunday's snow storm appear in Hits issue of the Plaindealer. Miss McHenry, 1967-- whoever she is--has a great and memorable future planned for her. This contest, always exciting, promises even greater attraction for young women of the McHenry area who are 15-21 years of age, Mrs. Jean Wiles, co-chairman of the contest, said this week. The winner will have a neverto- be-forgotten trip to Canada's highly-publicized Expo 67! The new Miss McHenry and her mother, as escort, will be guests of the Marine Festival committee at the Montreal exposition. More than seventy countries will have exhibits, including giant ones by the United States and Russia. Theme is "Man and His World" and mankind's progress will be traced in the series of pavilions and exhibits. Right now the big facet of this contest is to have eligible young ladies enter. Candidates should use the entry blank in last week's Plaindealer, or they can obtain one from Frank Low, general chairman for Marine Festival, Riverside drive. Also Mrs. Wiles and Mrs. Gen Bradley, co-chairmen of the VFW auxiliary's responsibility, can provide blanks. Turn in entries soon as Mrs. Wiles plans a group photo of the early applicants soon. In addition to the trip to Expo 67, the fun of reigning over the Marine Festival and of participating in the Miss McHenry County pageant, the new Miss McHenry will have one other benefit. "It is a benefit all the entries .will enjoy for we plan the charm course again thisyear," said Mrs. Wiles. The candidates will have professional advice cm poise, posture, selection of makeup and clothing. Candidates must live in the McHenry high school district, have her parent's written permission and send a photo. The Miss McHenry contest is co-sponsored by the McHenry Chamber of Commerce and the McHenry VFW auxiliary. SEVEN FILE FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE BOARD OATH GIVEN TO NEW ALDERMEN MONDAY NIGHT (cohtinued from, page 1) read and approved. Bills, which belong in the fiaist year were approved and will be picked up in audit to be properly charged against last year's appropriations. City Attorney John E. Looze read a report from the Zoning Board of Appeals concerning petition to change the Adams property on Crystal Lake Road from residential to business use, explaining to the Council that no action could be taken since the petitioners' attorney was entitled to a five day notice of the recommendation. The Zoning Boar'd recommended denial of the petition ^reclassify and the council action will follow. Following adjournment of the annual meeting, the City Clerk administered the oath of office to the newly elected aldermen, Bolger, Jackson, Huck, Hromec and Rogers. A drawing for terms in Ward No. 4 resulted in Rogers drawing the four year term and Hromec drawing two years. Various alcoholic beverage licenses were approved, effective May 1, and appointments made by the Mayor and approved by the Council. All present officers and employees were reappointed. Standing committees were also approved. As the meeting came to a close, the council voted to hire Wm. R. North and Associates to make the annual audit of city books and designated the McHenry State Bank as depository of funds. Seven candidates filed for the Junior College board early Monday morning. They were from Richmond, Harvard, Woodstock and Crystal Lake. Three of them were from unincorporated areas, a category from which two must be elected. First on the ballot will be William Banker, Jr., of Greenwood township, Woodstock. In order, he will be followed by . Dr. Alexander D. Leschuck of Harvard, Robert E. Franz of "Crystal Lake, Art F. Dixon of Harvard, Robert A, Schoenbeck of Richmond, Mrs. Joan Hill of rural Crystal Lake and Mrs. Patricia A. Beasley of Crystal Lake. An innovation was introduced into the filing. Of the three possible doors entering the Courthouse Annex, one was labeled clearly: "Candidates For Junior College Election Line Up At This Door." Then, as each was admitted to the Annex foyer he was given a number showing his place in line. Accordingly, the confusion which has surrounded previous filings was absent. Apparently believing that the 'place in line* has an important effect on the outcome of an election, the first in line took his place in front of the Annex door at 9 p.m. Sunday evening even though filing could not take place until 8 a.m., Monday. The election will be heldSaturday, May 27, from noon to 7 p.m. and the polls will be located in the normal places used in high school elections throughou the area. Within ten days after the election, the seven successful candidates will meet to organize and Junior College District 528 will then be a reality. In the meantime, each person planning to attend junior college should register with his high school district so that information can be turned over to the Junior College board promptly at its organizational meeting. Musin' & Meanderin (continued from page 1) old, yellow newspapers more unsightly. Certainly law enforcement agencies have more urgent matters for their attention. Although it may not be practical, there have been many times when we wondered if a citizen arrest might be worth a try. One thing is sure, if last winter's heavy snow fall was good for nothing else, it covered some of the debris which destroys the beauty of our countryside. . With the loss of so many elm trees through disease in recent years, Arbor Day on Friday; April 28, takes on new meaning.
