ROBBED MAN PLACED IN CAR TRUNK (Continued from page 1) assist and it was discovered that David Stolte, 36, of Skokie, had been beaten, robbed and locked in the truck of his car by four men he had met earlier in the Morton Grove area. The four men;. Darwin Beyer, 27;.of Ingleside; John Eskamp, 25, of Des Plaines; James Piezonka, 19, of Addison; and Leron Kannedy, 19, of Park Ridge; were arrested and charged with unlawful restraint, robbery and battery. The court date was set for Aug. 12 at 9:30 a.m. in Woodstock. HEAD-ON CRASH INJURES OFFICER, MOTORISTS (Continued from page 1) Colby, McHenry, was ticketed for violation of classification and disobeying a stop sign after the car he was driving went through a fence on Wright road. Myatt told police he accelerated to avoid another auto which was approaching from behind at high speed, but was going too fast on the wet pavement to stop for the stop sign at the intersection of Justen and Wright roads. A two-car collision at the intersection of Route 47 and Charles road resulted in a citation for failure to yield the right-of-way for Sherri S. McCann, of 1906 Church street, McHenry, last Thursday evening. , The driver of the other car, Walter Turn, of Chicago, said he was about half-way through the intersection when the McCann vehicle pulled out. Robert R. Berry, of 1913 Highwood, McHenry, was driving south on River road last Friday when he fell asleep at the wheel of his car. Berry told police he woke up and attempted to return to the roadway but lost control of the car, which went into a ditch. In a similar accident three days earlier, Rudy V. Torres, of 8401 Sunset, Wonder Lake, fell asleep at the wheel of his car and went off Dunham road. No one was injured when a car, traveling south on E. Wonder Lake road struck a Pregnant, NEED HELP?

Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, told police she saw the pedalcycle and swerved to the left to give it plenty of room. Ms. Murray continued to say that as she passed the vehicle, it turned and hit the right rear fender of the auto. No tickets were issued. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page I) hidden the answer, but if growing pains endured by present day newly incorporated areas are an indication, he most assuredly experienced the kind of headaches we could not even imagine in I960. And our schools? The 1975 account of the growth of schools in McHenry was phenomenal. E n r o l l m e n t s , l i k e population, saw greater changes in the last 25 years than in all the years before. Problems have grown accordingly, and the financial difficulties of other times pale by comparison with the inflationary prices of today. If teacher discontent was a fact, it took the freedom of a new age to make it a public matter. We continue to turn the pages until we're brought back to reality with the morning mail. On top is an announcement of a Fall convention. The theme? "How to stay alive in the '80's" - and it isn't related to the state of health. Maybe we'll go back to the history book and the smaller problems of yesterday. KAF TOP 4-H WINNERS TO ILLINOIS STATE FAIR (Continued from page 1) Knight, Ringwood and Heather Mahl, McHenry, are alternates. All 4-H members projects will be on exhibit during the McHenry County fair. Many of the projects selected to compete at the Illinois State fair are the members' original design. COUNCIL PAYS TAX DEFICIT (Continued from page 1) are promptly set aside and paid to the IRS on time. The recent payment to the IRS clears the way for the council lo meet with the IRS and work out an arrangement to pay deficiencies in 1978 and 1979 withholding taxes. The amount still owed to the IRS was not known at the lime of the board meeting as the council was awaiting an itemized statement from the IRS of the amounts it ex­ pects to be paid. John O'Hagan, council consultant, indicated that the current arrangement for purchasing the council's multi-purpose center in Crystal Lake needs to be reviewed promptly as part of the process of developing a balanced council budget. The board endorsed his recommendation that a blue ribbon task force of k n o w l e d g e a b l e c o u n t y residents be appointed to study the financing of the building, and to recommend to the board alternatives that offer a more practical, long term solution for ownership and financing of the multi-purpose center. Terry Ellis, president of the First National Bank of Crystal Lake, will serve as task force chairman. Deaths BESSIE E. MEYER Bessie E.

Recently, the Illinois State Toll Highway authority and the state police have reported an increase in the incidence of objects being thrown off bridges and overpasses. Extensive jUimage to vehicles and serious injuries have .resulted to drivers and passengers alike. Siqpe the first of the year, 61 separate reported in­ cidents have occurred on the Illinois Tollroad system causing serious injuries to six persons. Typiical of the type of missiles hurling down upon unsuspecting motorists are chunks of iron, various sizes of rocks, asphalt, and on one occasion, an entire pot-bellied stove smashed through the wind­ shield of a semi-trailer truck. is In one of the most in­ famous cases on record, a young woman passenger was tilled instantly when a 12-pound rock was dropped from an overpass on the Northwest tollroad and struck her full in the face, driving her body into the back seat of the car. The Illinois State Toll Highway authority has posted signs along the tollroad offering a $1,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person committing such an offense. Conviction could also lead to a maximum $1,000 fine or one year in prison on criminal charges.
