College Hoard Presented Willi New Challenge (Continued from page 1) something to say about the size of the sewer pipe to be used in building an on-site sewage system? Could the interest of some who so strongly want this particular site be because a drainage system to be built and paid for by the school for about $300,000 would improve and enhance the value of their own real estate. "4. Will you make available to the public, copies of the real estate contracts, including the names of the brokers, the price and special provisions governing the proposed sale of land to your school? "5. Why does the school need the hospital? Is the hospital program in existence at all? Is there any agreement among them to be examined? Has this hospital group agreed in writ­ ing to share in the expense and the cbst now? Is the school ad­ vancing all the money to pur­ chase the property and paying the expenses now? Will not the school be delayed and burdened unnecessarily? "6. Has the hospital and the school arrived at how much acreage the school will buy and the location of the acreage be­ ing purchased? "7. Does the hospital group really want a hospital? If so, then why does the hospital group refuse to state that they would cooperate with the college if the Junior college could save considerable money by choosing a site elsewhere? Is the real estate of outsiders a primary influence? "8. That question was asked the hospital representative at your Oct. 30 meeting no less than four times. Each time he failed or refused to answer. WHY - YES, WHY? "9. Is it a fact that one of the school board of directors was told that the school wouldn't get a bond referendum passed unless he voted for the Ander­ son site, on the claim that the hospital group indicated that if the college board voted to select this site, the referen­ dum would be assured of getting about five thousand extra votes; on the other hand, if the school did not pick that site, then per­ haps we wouldn't have a col­ lege, said a school director? "10. What legal opinions has the board from its attorneys that have not been disclosed? Will the board make such opin­ ions public for study"? "11. Will you make public the reports of the engineers and others, comparing the qual­ ity of the land and locations of the three sites? This report is commonly called a 'rating' report. "12. If you college board members knew that you could get a better location in what was your previous unanimous choices with about twice the highway frontage on two main roads and could save about $300,000 or more, would you consider saving this money? "13. Have you disclosed to the public that the cost of the buildings would run about $12,000,000 to $15,000,000? If not, Wny haven't you'/ "14. Why the secrecy with your executive meetings? Why have you kept the press, the ra­ dio, and the public in the dark on many matters so long? "15. A school is supposed to teach a higher standard of eth­ ics, public duty, openness and wisdom. Do you think you have done that? Do you think your conduct projects a salutary im­ age to the public? "16. Do you think the voters of McHenry county don't care? "There are other questions to be asked. I wish to be invited to the next meeting of Nov. 20. 1969, at which time I will dis­ cuss these and other relative matters. "Respectfully submitted, "Meyer Field" NEEDED IN NIGERIA Areas of Biafra re-captured by Nigeria contains hundreds of thousands of suffering men, women and children.

With his background in the Marines, business and sher­ iffs office, Mr. Justen said he feels his qualifications and de­ votion to law enforcement makes his candidacy for the chief administrative office of the sheriffs department Im­ portant to the voters of Mc­ Henry county. He has made known the need for improve­ ment of the enforcement arm of county government so that the citizens of this county are pro­ tected and safeguarded against violence and that the youths of the county are shielded from those criminals that traffic in drugs. Richard Justen has been mar­ ried twenty-five years and re­ sides in McHenry with his wife and five children. He is a mem­ ber of the Loyal Order of Moose, the American Legion and was first vice-commander of the V.F.W. One Arrest Made Others Pending In Boat Theft (Continued from page 1) Richard Turner of 7615 „ Pheasant road, Wonder Lake, reported the theft of some sock­ ets and tools from the basement of his home sometime during the past two weeks. Over the past four to six weeks, thieves have taken gas from a station wagon owned by J.L. Strom, 5402 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. Last week­ end, he found spark plug wires stolen from the engine of his car. College Hosts Instructors At Science Meeting (Continued from page 1) Operating under the auspices of the NSF, the community col­ leges have met to improve the science programs they offer. At the October meeting the chemistry teachers developed an outline of topics which they believe must be included in a first year curriculum for stu­ dents majoring in chemistry. The meeting on Saturday at McHenry County college was,to discuss and develop laboratory excises' to correlate'with "these 'topics. The goal was to construct chemistry and phy­ sics courTwhich will be ac­ ceptable at all four-year insti­ tutions. HOLD THAT LINE, HIGHWAY CREWS "Like spring training for base­ ball players," Public Works Director William F. Cellini ex­ plained, "maintenance crews have been making trial runs in areas where they will be assigned to operate snow removal equip­ ment." Highway maintenance crews are responsible for keeping 16,000 miles of state routes open to traffic. Each crew is as­ signed about 17 miles of primary VEHICLES BARRED FROM TRAILS Five trails in the Shawnee National Forest of southern Illinois will be closed to all vehicles until June 1, according to the Department of Conserva­ tion. To Evans, supervisor of the department's game division, said that the U.S. Forest Service has agreed to close the trails to im­ prove hunting conditions and to prevent soil erosion. Two other trails will be closed permanently to prevent vandalism to water pumping equipment. No vehicles will be permitted on the Indian Kitchen and New Liberty Trails in the Vienna Ranger District. The Lingle Creek, Turkey Trot, and Section 15 trails in the Jonesboro Ranger District will be closed to all vehicles. The pump station trails are in the Oakwood Bot­ toms of Jackson County, a prime duck hunting area devel­ oped and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. GENTLEMEN PREFERRED All sportsmen who want to preserve the pleasures of hunting for future generations must be gentlemen when in the field, ac­ cording to William L. Ruther­ ford, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation. "The private property owner is the backbone of hunting in our state because he is host to the great majority of the hunting public," Rutherford said. "Our land is so high priced that the state can never purchase enough acres to accommodate everyone who purchases a hunting license. "Therefore the sportsman must extend to the landowner the common courtesy of asking permission to enter his land. This is an absolute necessity," Rutherford declared. "The hunter must remember to close all gates, that he opens and he must be careful when he crossed fences not only for his own per­ sonal safety, but to be sure that he does not break the fences down." highway, about half that amount if on Interstate routes. The division has 1700 trucks equipped for snow plowing. Four of these are large rotary plows, Of which three are in the northernmost districts and one in Springfield for statewide avail­ ability. "In addition, the division has 25 motor graders equipped with 'V' plows and wing plows. About 500 of the trucks equip­ ped .with blade type snow plows have 'V' plows available for use in heavier drifting snow con­ ditions," Cellini said. Time To Spare Fed Like Going Back to School? The new booklet of Harvest Years magazine is worth call­ ing to the attention of retirees because it deals with a very special subject in a very special way. The subject is education for those of us who have reached a phase of life in which we are no longer preoccupied with the necessity of earning a living. PG. 4 - PLAINDEALER - WED. NOV. 19.1W The booklet, "A Time for Learning," handles its infor­ mation in a logical, step-by- step treatment from the psy­ chology of the learning process to reaaing lists about institu­ tions, courses and skills. But the treatment is not scholastic or dry as dust Many individuals were queried by specialists about how it feels to go back to school at an age of 60-plus. Their impressions give life and color, sometimes evpn drama, to the story of a growing trend. If you're not aware of what's going on in this field, your first question probably will be why anyone would want to resume formal studies after the end of a working career. Somerset Maughan comes forward as a witness at this point in the discussion: "When I was young," he wrote in the summing up, "I was amazed at Plutarch s statement that the elder Cato began at the age of 80 to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake task* that youth shirked because they would take too long." There you have the basic answer. t- FOREMOST / [EGL&N PANTY HOSE ONE SIZE FITS ALL 49 PAIR 100% NYLON BENT FRAN KLIN DM t AAMMI 1250 N. GREEN ST.
