Another alderman noted that the signs for these spaces were removed later. Alderman Elizabeth Nolan said she had been asked if the city could enforce the use of the reserved spaces for the disabled at the Jewel and the A&P stores. It was believed that the city would need the consent of the property owner to provide the enforcement and Attorney Bernard Naru&s said he would check out the legality of the proposal During the discussion, information received from Police Chief George Passanelli indicated that state law exempted the automobiles of the disabled from parking overtime requirements. Vehicles for disabled are identified by special l icense plates.

Seeking reasons for this disappointing response to human needs, is not an easy task. - Hundreds of volunteers have canvassed the county's business, industrial and financial establishments, but the potential returns from these areas have not materialized. Brochures listing agencies and needs have been disseminated, slide programs presented and mail solicitations completed, but with less than satisfactory results. The present campaign is to raise $315,000 that will be used in 1979. This means that corporations, businesses and individuals need not contribute immediately, but merely sign a pledge. The pledge need not be honored until 1979, and then in quarterly payments if desired United Way board members agree that even with charitable giving, there is a certain apathy ; the needs of the county are not taken seriously. Many business firms and individuals contacted have not been able to accept the fact that this is a county wide drive, designed to eliminate many individual fund drives throughout the year. McHenry county agencies are recipients of the funds collected and county residents receive the benefits provided by these agencies. McHenry County United Way president, Rick Bernotas, remarked, VMqny potential contributors state that they have no need for United Way agencies, so why give? The point is, if this is true, they are the lucky ones and should be happy to give. Indeed." said Bernatos, "we are our brother's keeper and those who have their health and security might find even greater happiness if they did what they could to help those who are the 'have nots'. We need more corporation support and employee payroll deduction plans in plants if our goal is to be achieved." The following report is a summation of the present condition of the McHenry County United Way fund raising campaign.
