THE MGHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875" Thursday, July 6, 1967 ~ McHenry, Illinois Fun In The City Park EASTWOOD MANOR FLORENCE LONG 385-3556 This old Are engine in the city park proves quite an attraction for the little folks, and particularly the "car-minded" young boys who examine every inch of it in detail. RINGWOOD NEWS DOLORES BRENNAN 653-9045 Board President Resigns After School Meeting The Ringwood School Board of District 34 met on Wednesday evening at the school along with members of McHenry School District 15, members of the Board of Education, County School Supt. Richard Tazewell and the general public to discuss the merits of consolidation. Some very heated words were exchanged during the later part of the meeting resulting in the resignation of Darrell Everett, president of the Ringwood Board. His resignation was accepted by the remaining board members, with a special meeting called on Thursday evening and John Lanway being appointed to take Mr. Everett's place until the school consolidates or the next regular election, which ever occurs first. The regular school board election is held in April. A WORD OF WARNING! Tempers cause us to do some crazy things in this world of ours, but does the lady (the word is used loosely in this case) who called Clayton Bruce and offered a sum of money to have him change his mind on consolidation realize what the penalty is for offering a bribe to a public official? Curb your temper. Don't let it curb you! The above two articles were written by Clayton Bruce, clerk of the Ringwood School Board, and are intended to bring a little light to the community minded people in the Ringwood area. I would like to add that I did find out about the meeting and did attend. The meeting did go along very nicely with just discussion until somebody let loose causing arguing rather that discussion to take over the remainder of the meeting. It's too bad this happened, as there are bound to be hard feelings among persons in the community as a result. I guess the old saying of think before you speak should be practiced a little more. To the members of the McHenry 15 distric^who were in attendence, I would like to apologize for our community. This sort of thing does not happen, and this meeting was the exception. Thank you for attending. EUROPE '66 SLIDES PRESENTED BY JIM PEARSON On June 20, Jim Pearson presented a slide program entitled "Europe '66" to the Dunham Woman's club.

After a long absence, the Eastwood Manor column will be a regular feature. I hope that you will call with news and items of interest, so we can keep pace with the latest happenings. ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE Manor Lane Old Glory is really flying high thanks to Bill Huemann's 30 foot flag pole which he installed on the front lawn. We have a hunch we'll be seeing more of these high flyers in the near future. Still at the Huemanns, how about their prolific pooch, Kelly, who had a litter of nine. Anybody for a pup? Richard Hawkins must be inspired. What a great fence he's putting up, and with an able assist from the kids too. Clover Lane Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wiegman and Rick just returned from a too short vacation which included a visit to EXPO 67 and were so enthusiastic about all the exhibits but the (me that really was overwhelming was "Man In His World".

The hostess provided the Turns. Eastwood Manor can be very proud of the three young artists who were among ten McHenry students who have won medals in a worldwide ex-' change of children's art. Barbara Krebs, 10, Chris Allen Durkin, 12 and Laura Quail, 11, entered into competition conducted by the Society for Art in Education of Japan and are awaiting their medals, certificates and a selection of pastels. Had a nice chat with Glen Messer, president of the Property Owners Association and he said the recent fun nite at the barn was a success and the association is planning another fun nite in August. Glen stressed that there are no dues necessary to belong to the association, that the reason for the group is to keep civic responsibility alive and rewarding. This group meets every third Friday of the month. Lefs get a good turn out for the next meeting. That's about it for this week. This is my first attempt at writing since my high school days and about all I remember from Journalism class is "whowhat- when-where and why," so all you Manorites keep in touch and I'll keep us in the news. So long.
