PG. 14 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, SEPT. 5, 1969 C OF C TALKS OF HOUSING PROBLEMS (Continued from page 1) locally. He suggested that civic leaders might work through a department Known as HUD to secure federal funds. - A discussion took place con­ cerning parking for Admiral plant employees. It was dis­ closed that C ity Council mem­ bers had not changed their opin­ ion concerning converting the property in the rear of the fac­ tory into a parking area. Pre*- sent plans call for the expen­ diture of S3,500 by the city for use of the old tennis courts as an ice skating area this win­ ter. Mike W ieser suggested that a parking lot some distance away might be available and a . shuttle bus service used to transport workers. High on priority of future e-^ vents is the Chamber auction, which is planned Sept. 28 in the city park, starting at 1 p.m. This is a C. of C. fund rais­ ing program in which merchants will contribute new or used i- tems in usable condition for sale. In connection with Industrial Week,' to be observed in Oc­ tober, Chamber President Larry Lund announced that the Plaindealer will print a special industrial section the previous week. There was also a dis­ cussion of a possible family ® day in connection with the event, when local residents would have an opportunity to be shown through industrial firms and view the products made locally. Merchants are urged to be generous with window space in displaying these products. Only a general discussion took place on holida\ decora­ tions, with definite plans for the holiday season to be for­ mulated in a future retail meet­ ing. Manager Carl Prosser re­ ported on the recent Chamber meeting he attended in Roches­ ter, where he obtained a num-5 ber of good ideas which he hopes to inaugurate locally at some future date. Earl Riley was named new retail chairman. At a recent Retail committee meeting, members suggested that in the future this position would be known as vice-president in charge of retail. A membershipof 154 wasdis- „ closed, a record for the organ­ ization. This figure is fifty over last year at this time, ac­ cording to Mr. Prosser. A solicitation was granted for the Johnsburg Rescue Squad to obtain funds. Some discussion took place concerning the alarm system now in effect in McHenry for the quick apprehension of frau­ dulent check writers. More than twenty merchants are now co­ operating in the program. Chamber board members be­ lieve it would be advantagious to encourage more chamber members to make use of the early warning alarm system. This warning system alerts merchants to shoplifters and bad check passers. A $400 check was approved for the Viscounts Parents as­ sociation for a trip of the drum and bugle corps. COUNTY QUOTA FOR HURRICANE RELIEF $4,423 The McHenry county Red Cross chapter quota for Hur­ ricane Camille, formerly $1,770, has been increased to $4,423. Results of the first ap­ peal in the county amounted to $400.. Anyone who has not yet sent a check is urged to do so at once. Total Red Cross relief for victims of the hurricane is ex­ pected to rise to at least $15 million. For this reason the or­ iginal $6 million goal was in­ creased to $15 million. ! ! f o r M E N When selecting a gift for him. ... let us help! 7 STORE for MEN 1245 N. Green St., McHenry, 111.

Named directors from District 1 were Conrad Rupp, Sr., and Mrs. Dorma Crowder; District 3 Mrs. Har­ riet Van Kanegan and Mrs. Helen Muchow and District 5, Larry Witherbee and Terry Biroschik. Each of these newly elected board members will serve a two-year term. Ten representatives were e- lected to represent this sub­ division at the Master assoc­ iation convention, Mrs. June Novak, Dwight Guilfoil, Char­ les A. Terrell, Elmer Selk, Mrs. Diane Rodgers, Cliff Han­ son, John Gustek, Rudi Jirou- sek, Mrs. Don Jones, and Don G. Coumbe. These represen­ tatives elected Charles A.Ter­ rell as the subdivision's direc­ tor to the Master association. The president, Henry Setz- ler, informed the membership that Guy Henderson is leaving the subdivision for Oregon. He WEED CONTROL PROGRAM STARTED . AT WONDER LAKE , (Continued from page 1) recommendations of the De­ partment of Conservation. The original recommenda­ tion of the Department was that the whole lake should be treated, but the Master association di­ rectors felt that a total kill would be detrimental to the fish population in the lake. Greg Tichacek, district bi­ ologist for the Conservation department, Jim Langbien and Gary Cima, student trainees with the department and Jim Bixby, Master association vice- president and chairman of the association's Lake and Dam committee, performed the physical task of treating the lake. Two boats equipped with boat-bailer devices and con­ tainers for mixing and diluting the chemical were used. Areas treated in this first effort were the ones where weed growth has been inter­ fering with the operation of power boats. Specifically, these were the two White Oaks Bays, along the shore of the St. Fran­ cis Heights subdivision and south toward Wonder View and along the shoreline of Sunrise Ridge and into the mouth of the Nipper sink Creek. Tichacek emphasized the fact that the treatment was for "rooted aquatic weeds" notthe algae which has also been com­ mon on the lake this summer. Treatment methods and chem­ icals are different for these two types of vegetation. Tichacek also said that an annual treat­ ment program should be es­ tablished £nd that treatment should take place before June 15 of each year. Tichacek said weed and al­ gae growth were a problem in many lakes this year and that Wonder Lake was fortunate that the resources and manpower for such a project were available. He said that other lakes hired professionals to do the work and the cost ran as high as. $20 per hour per man for services. Evidence of the effectiveness of this initial program is not expected until sometime this week. A continuing weed control program and a program for the treatment of algae will come under discussion at the Master association convention of del­ egates on Sept. 14. by LEES* ARMSTRONG, VIKING, other POPULAR BRANDS VINYL ASBESTOS TILE SOLID VINYL CERAMIC WALL TILE Floor Tile Specials 19C sq. ft, 21C *q. 57c sq- *• Complete Installation Service FKE ES1HMCS MIL 315-7310 50O2 W.

Mr. Henderson also served as beach and playground chairman, carrying out much of the work him self for the same number of years. The member­ ship gave him a standing ovation. Mr. Henderson thanked everyone and the meeting was adjourned. RESCIND COLLEGE BOND VOTE (Continued from page 1) scheduled at the earliest date possible, following selection of a site. It was noted that site ap­ proval of the Illinois Junior college board is necessary. The board had hoped to come to some agreement and submit a site to the state board at its meeting in October. This is now impossible and members will attempt to reach some agreement on a location'before the next meeting. Prior to the executive ses­ sion, several guests were pre­ sent to express their views. Representing the McHenry, Crystal Lake and Memorial Hospital associations, Anthony Corcoran, administrator of Mc­ Henry hospital, stated that the associations feel it is to the advantage of all concerned if the college and hospitals can work together to obtain sites in the same area. Earlier, Mc­ Henry hospital had expressed the intention of assisting the college, through its medical personnel, if the two institu­ tions were located close to each other. Meyer Field appeared on behalf of property he owns in this community, which he offered to sell for a col­ lege site. SET SECOND POSTPONEMENT ON HEARING (Continued from page 1) - building. Hoffstetter and the other ob­ jectors are trying to prevent the installation of washing and crushing equipment into the gravel pit. Present zoning laws already permit the mining of gravel from farming areas. Ho­ wever, witnesses had already testified that it would be eco­ nomically impossible to mine the gravel from the W ilson pro­ perty and then process it else­ where. At their meeting, one of the objectors explained their stra­ tegy for opposing the gravel pit. They hope to delay the reion- ing petition until the frost is too deep in the ground to allow ex­ cavating. Due to a lack of time, the zo­ ning hearing was adjourned at 5 o'clock. The next hearing, on Oct. 15, will be held at 2 p.m in either the fire station or the city hall. Musin' & Mcanderin (Continued from page 1) One interested person has suggested that opposition by some board members may have arisen from the fear that other heavily populated communities in this part of the county might tend to^vote down a bond is­ sue on a site so close to the city of McHenry. One wonders why this argument was not just as valid last week, when the vote favored the purchase. Also, it is difficult to believe anyone really interested in the college would allow a vote to be swayed by a matter of two or three miles -- the approx­ imate distance from another popular site considered choice a few months ago. It is reasonable to assume that the summary of the county hospital associations may have had a bearing on the vote. Arguments set forth to en­ courage a neighborhood setting for the college and hospital had been presented several months ago. The fact that hospital rep­ resentatives were present at Tuesday's college meeting to reiterate their contentions brings a logical conclusion that these views had some bearing on the final vote. At best, thsse are only spec­ ulations. As far as any pos­ sible hospital influence is con­ cerned, there is no doubt that an ideal situation would find the college and hospital erected in the same area, with a prom­ ise of medical assistance in the college training program. But perfection is not always possible, and fears have arisen in several corners that a neg­ ative vote on the Stilling prop­ erty may eventually lose the college to McHenry after the city has put forth great effort toward this end. We have been informed that tlje approximate cost of bring­ ing sewer and water mains to tthe Stilling property would run approximately i $225,000, with the city of McHenry, college and property owners contributing toward the total, and the re­ mainder, hopefully, made up through federal funds. No. 1 question at this mo­ ment is whether or not the college board can find another equally appealing offer of co­ operation. More important to McHenry is whether or not that location will be in this area, where the college has met with great popularity. Many questions must go un­ answered for the moment. One thing is sure -- McHenry res­ idents will waich future de­ velopments with more than usual interest.
