7 School Boards In Active Session (Continued from page 1) Rass Bus Sales, Lake Zurich, for $3,400 each. Three of the busses- will be purchased for the high school and one for the grade school. A contract was signed with George Worts Transportation for the, use of three "66 j$assenger school busses at a cost of $29 a day for each. Transportation Director Blank said this was four cents below the old contract. Approval was given for William Kuch to replace Robert Thomas as custodian. The board okayed a floor plan for the central administration office, which will include a new front for the Main street building and renovating within. Approval was delayed following some confusion on bids submitted for work to bring the East campus building to meet the life safety code. Two candidates for office, Edward Guettler and Clint Claypool, were present. DISTRICT 15 In an adjoining room, the District 15 board also met Tuesday evening. Senior Citizens' President Bert Welker was present to express a wish that this club might use any space which might be available in Landmark school when it is renovated. He said the group was now being accommodated in the East campus cafeteria, but it was necessary to leave at 10 o'clock whereas many club members would enjoy remaining for a social hour if another location could be found. Bonding Expert Marvin Birchfield presented a resolution which was accepted, calling for the sale of bonds in the amount of $1,700,000, which is the limit of the bonding power in District 15 at this time. . The negotiation is with the John Nuveen firm of Chicago, with bonds earning between 5 and 6 percent. Business Manager Royce Marble displayed a type of plastic ware which is now being used in some schools to accomplish a saving in labor, soap and dish washer. He said the product should cost about three cents a serving. The board took the matter under study. Approval was given to the use of the kindergarten house on Waukegan street for use by the Head Start program again this year. About fifty pupils are expected to be enrolled. Approval was given to the joint programs with District 156 concerning transportation contract and bus purchases. The resignation of Stella Rortvet, fifth grade teacher at Edgebrook, was accepted and also that of Nancy C. Lossman, secretary at Junior high. Judith Harrison and Roberta Jacobs were employed as faculty members. A letter from the Kiwanis club, asking approval for holding a banquet for top students, was approved. The board also okayed the usual summer school program at Edgebrook and recreational program at West campus. Members planned a meeting Wednesday evening with the architect working on Landmark school renovation. Musin' and Meanderin (Continued from page 1) perform ably. Just as importantly, if elected he will be the first local resident to serve on the college board. McHenry was fortunate, in view of local apathy displayed at the first election, to have been selected as the choice for the new college building. Although this was the only large community without representation on the board, a majority of the members set aside personal feelings which might have biased their opinion- and voted on a local site as best among those under consideration. The stage has been set, but there is much to be done before the "curtains go up". To date, no final agreement has. been made between buyer and , seller, after which the countless details which accompany such a tremendous task as setting a college in motion can to pass. McHenry should have a representative on that board. It can, if local voters go in large numbers to the polls next Saturday. Another election is also in the offing. On May 6, voters in the 33rd Representative district of the state, which includes McHehry, will go to the polls to select a successor to the late Republican Rep. Jack Hill. Political parties prefer to hide their differences, but we have observed hints of developing factions within the Republican party locally which bear a striking resemblance to a Democratic split more than a decade ago. The reasons may be completely different, but the results are the same. A few may realize personal satisfaction, but the party suffers. It is our hope that the May 6 election will not bear out this trend. We do not know three of the candidates, but we are sufficiently acquainted with the McHenry contender, Tom Davis, to believe he satisfies at least three qualifications which are worthy of support. He is honest, sincere and holds doggedly to those political ideals which seem necessary if the two-party system is to serve the public well. We would consider it most unfortunate if he should lose because of lack of support among Republicans in his own community. KAF Historic Items To Be Displayed At County Meet Members and friends of the McHenry County Historical society are again reminded that the spring meeting will be held in Richmond on Wednesday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial hall of the Am3rican Legion building on Main street.

GOP LEADERS TO MEET WITH LEGISLATORS Saturday morning, April 12, Republican precinct committeemen and their wives from that part of McHenry county within the 32nd legislative district will be treated to a coffee and roll breakfast by their state Senator and representatives. The event, beginning at 9:30. a.m., will be held at the new Crystal Lake Country club. Hosts of this unique conference will be Representatives George W. Lindberg (R-Crystal Lake), John Henry Kleine (R-Lake Forest) and Senator Karl Berning (R-Deerfield). Republican committeemen who have been invited include those from the eastern McHenry county area. This will be the third and last of a series of breakfast conferences where the three state legislators have held " l'isten- ins" to learn the attitudes of the people on the important issues coming before the General Assembly. Earlier sessions were held in Lake For-; est and Barrington. Over 100 Republican officals attended the meetings and according to Rep. Kleine "our biggest problem is that nobody wants to see the meetings end. They have been successful beyond our wildest expectation and we intend to have more of these conferences in the future" he concluded. Senator Berning has asked that the Republican committeemen who plan to attend the affair be fortified with the attitudes of the citizens in their precincts on the major issues facing the state. Berning said •'each of us promised during election year to keep in direct contact with our constituents - these breakfast conferences are for that very purpose, and we want to take away with us the clearest possible picture of how our constituents feel as to how best to solve the state's great problems." Rep. George W. Lindberg will be the chairman of the event. He said "when we planned this "Legislator's Road Show", as it has come to be known, we didn't expect anywhere near the interest that has been shown - but since our last appearance in Barrington on March 22, the Governor has delivered his budget on tax program! I think we can look forward to a full house on Saturday," he concluded.
