NEW MEMBERS QUESTION APPOINTMENTS (Continued from page 1) was appointed to act as the school's district treasurer. Resolutions were ap­ proved, recognizing Ruth Haasl and Florence Rothermel, teachers, and Dorothy Vick, Timothy Althoff and Henry F. Nell, for their service to the district. The last three named are retiring board members. The board approved a resolution allowing reclassification of a prin­ cipal. SPRAYING DEBATE WARMS MEETING ROOM (Continued from page 1) said he was concerned about children. Ms. Nolan noted, "It is regrettable that Alderman Adams was not here last Thurday night. He is alluding to the things that stir emotions." Another voice in favor of the program was Alderman Datz who said there were moths in the area and action (spraying the insecticide) "should not be deferred. Alderman Wieser responded to a man who read from the warning label of a bottle of Sevin, the in­ secticide to be used, which can be purchased in many garden shops. Wieser said the man at the Thursday night meeting did not finish reading the label. . "It says here that the insecticide can be used on tomatoes and other vegetables up to the day of harvest," Wieser pointed out. Seaborg told the Council, in response to a question from Wieser, that the residents would see an ef­ fectiveness of three to four days, or until it was washed into the soil. Ms. Nolan expressed concern about people taking action into their own hands and spraying irresponsibly in their yards. When the vote was taken, the Council was split 4 to 4 until Mayor Stanek cast the deciding vote. Voting in favor of the spraying program were Aldermen Datz, Nolan, Schooley, Harker and Mayor Stanek. Voting against the program were. Aldermen Meurer, Wieser, Adams and Pepping. As a disappointed crowd left the Council chambers, Arnold F. Doerfert, of 5006 Bonner drive, McHenry, asked, "I want to know if I can get it in writing that there will be no effect?" Mayor Stanek said he would like to see a world without germs, or pestilence, or disease, but pointed out that "we have to , do the best we can." The mayor also expressed dismay at what he. termed "panic peddling", i.e. likening the insecticide Sevin to Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant used in the Vietnam war. • When asked for a rough guess as to when the spraying would take place, Seaborg said the first of the two sprayings could take place May 10. The first spraying, whenever it is UNTINSQiWC the professional do-it-yourself carpet cleaning system First Hour of Rental $1.00 p«r hour . . . for every hour thereafter.

The Council voted unanimously to raise the sewer rate structure from $3 a month to $5 a month for residential users. The commercial and in­ dustrial rate was increased from $.65 per 1,000 gallons to (.75 per 1,000 gallons. "This should be consistent with what sensible people will accept," said Alderman Harker. "Inflation hits municipalities the same as it does families." City Park Director Peter Merkel reported to the Council that the application for the $200,000 development grant for Knox park, which was approved by the state, was stalled in bureaucratic red tape at the federal level. Merkel explained that there was nothing technically wrong with the application, just that it did not get formal approval before an order to freeze all grants not approved came from Washington, D.C. In other action, the Council decided to hire 20 summer employees, 16 for the Public Works and Park depart­ ments, two lifeguards and two people for parking en­ forcement. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) faster moving motorized public. There are still several weeks of school and the abandon of youngsters as Spring settles in should be on the minds of everyone who drives. Traffic moves too quickly past some of McHenry's schools, and it has done the same throughout the Winter months. Added to the basic danger are stopped school buses taking on and letting out passengers unaware of the dangers. Bus drivers whose little ones have no reason to go anywhere but to the door of the school often do not stop oncoming taffic with a warning arm, presumably as an act of courtesty. Auto ^drivers, who should know enough to stop anyway, repeatedly travel around the bus, both from the front and back. This has become such an accepted practice that we checked with a police officer who said that, indeed, it is necessary to stop. Another of our most abused traffic laws, ac­ cording to state officials, is the "right turn on red after stop". This privilege doesn't mean it isn't necessary to yield the right-of-way to any traffic on the roadway and to pedestrians in the adjacent crosswalk. The law was enacted to help move traffic safely, particularly in slow traffic periods, but you would never guess it from the number of drivers who zip around corners on the red light in heavy traffic. Spring still means robins, warm breezes and blue skies. If we drive with our mind on the business at hand, more of us will live to enjoy them.

AWARDED NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP (Continued from page 1) and is a member of the swing choir and madrigal singers. Her acting and musical talents won for Jill parts in the school musical and school drama presentations. On the MCHS honor roll for two years, she carries a 4.0 grade point average. Each of the 14,000 Finalists in the competition was considered for one of these one-time, non-renewable awards. Winners will receive a single payment of $1,000 next Fall after enrolling in a regionally accredited U.S. college or university of the Scholar's choice. , Most (1,012) of the unrestricted "National" awards are underwritten by corporations, company foundations, and business organizations that also finance four-year scholar­ ships designated for students who meet preferential criteria; NMSC's own funds are financing the remainder of the $1,000 awards. The number of winners in a state is set by allocation, in proportion to each state's percent of the nation's graduating high school senior class; a few awards are reserved for Finalists selected from schools in each of the other four selection units. A committee of ex­ perienced college admission officers and secondary school counselors was convened to evaluate in­ formation submitted by all Finalists in conjunction with their scholarship ap­ plications. In choosing the winners, the committee considered each Finalist's ^academic record, self- description, achievements outside the classroom, qualities of leadership, two sets of aptitude test scores, and the high school prin­ cipal's recommendation. Family financial in­ formation was not made available to the committee and "financial need' was not considered in the selection process. Winners of National Merit $1,000 Scholarships are the Finalists in each state judged by the com­ mittee to best combine abilities and personal qualities needed for succcess during and after college. HOME LOAN INTEREST DOWN (Continued from page 1) State bank would apply at •McHenry Savings and Loan, i.e. loans for owner occupied homes only. Steve Mitchell, a bank official at the Wonder Lake State bank, said, "Since the bank is so new and the funds here so 'young', so to speak, we have been a little reluctant to get into the mortgage market.'^* He said that as the bank" grows, it will become more involved in the mortgage market. Mitchell reported that both auto and consumer loans were below the prime rate. At the First National Bank of McHenry, President Ronald Graves said the drop in the mortgage interest rate at the McHenry State bank "would not necessarily be the impetus for a drop in the rate at First National." "We'll have to look at the economy and at how much our money costs," Graves pointed out. "Our loan committee meets Monday (April 28) and we'll have to study the situation." SPLIT VOTES RECOMMEND ZONING DENIAL (Continued from page 1) Coppel said the developers would like to build the complex this year, if the money becomes available. City Attorney Bernard Narusis was concerned about the possibility of future subdivision of the property and asked if this were ever done, would there be enough space between the buildings to meet City set­ back requirements. McDonald answered that there would be enough land and added that this was part of the reason why the developers did not want to subdivide the property to build more than one building. If the property were subdivided so that the one building per lot requirement was met, McDonald said, additional problems of ingress-egress to each lot, utility easements and the definition of "front and side yards" would arise. Curran then pointed out that precedents already existed in the City, places where there were more than two levels of habitable apartments or where there were more than one building - on a lot. The Southgate complex and the apartment building at 3605 James street were mentioned. A motion was made to grant the request for a variation and although the ZBA voted 4 to 2 in favor, the motion failed. According to Narusis, the ordinance requires a minimum of five votes to send a favorable recommendation to the City Council, which makes the ultimate decision. Voting in favor of granting the variation were board members Fred Kupstis, Suzanne Kauss, Harold Spruth and James Fouse. Voting against were Annie Mae Cuda and Robert Jessup. Bryce Klontz was absent. Ms. Cuda said she did not feel the conditions for granting a variation, as laid out in the ordinance, had been met. She said that what the developers were asking for was really not unique, i.e. it would apply equally to any "R-4" construction. She did agree with chairman James Fouse that the sketch plan was aesthetically better than anything that would be allowed under the ordinance (a single,' two-and-a-half story building). "If we are going to grant a HORNSBYS W. RTt. 120. |a#y§yAw M a WlnSIWI« Mm* AUTOMOTIVE NEEDS OVERHAULING YOUR CAR? We rent all the tools to do that job.

But when I look on pages 58 and 59 (the requirements for a variation) I cannot convince myself that this is really all that unique, or that any material or economic hardship would result," Ms. Cuda said. When it came to the second part of the petition, amen­ ding the ordinance, there was even less support from the ZBA. The motion was made to amend the ordinance to allow more than one building to be built and three-story construction. It was defeated, again by a 4 to 2 vote, but this time the four votes were against. Voting against the motion were Suzanne Kauss, Robert Jessup, Harold Spruth and Annie Mae Cuda. Voting in favor of the motion were Fred Kupstis and James Fouse. Ms. Kauss said she did not want to change the or­ dinance and give up control in the "R-4" multi-family zoning classification. She added that she was not in favor of giving "carte blanche" to three-story construction and more than one building per lot. The matter is expected to go before the City Council. Deaths ROSE K.
