Weeiiss Consolidation A ' group of men who dollflh want Wonder Lake , incorporated refused even to discuss it and broke up a meeting Sunday afternoon at the Legion hall. The embattled meeting was called by a "Progressive Party" that had put out handbills about "»e meeting. Some of the angry persons present demanded to kjiow who had called the meeting ahd one man was almost threatening to Atty. Joseph X. Waynne of McHenry, who was chairman of the meeting. Atty. Waynne explained that the persons who bad asked him to act as chairman of the meeting had been told to stay away front the meeting for fear of personal ^attacks. Waynne said it was too often the case when a strongly controversial issue was at stake that the meeting degenerated into personalities and name-calling. The meeting opened with a talk by Claude McDermott, president of Lakemoor, second newest village in McHenry county. . . .in existence for only a little more than a year. McDermott told of Sm the problems that had beset his '* area of 600 persons and their financial advantages and the better government achieved. Waynne called incorporated "better, more enforcible local government" which would bring better policing, sanitation, and garbage control. lis said the maximum tax would be 53 cents per $100 valuation if a garbage tax was also assessed. He said also that to incorporate as a city requires 1,000 population four square miles in area. A village requires two square miles. The meeting began to fall apart as various men interupted the speaker a$d demanded by What right he was holding such a meeting. >. ~ . A man who said his name was Kirby Walker said he was from the west side of the lake, says that he owns property on a west side subdivision but resides in Forest Park, demanded by what right Waynne was conducting the meeting since Waynne was not a voter. Waynne attempted to explain that he had been asked to; serve to keep from the very thing Walker was attempting to promote in the way of personality battles. Another speaker, who gave hie name as Walter Miller, said he wdQld soon reside in Wonder Lal^e ahd that UfA-e are two deputies in each subdivision and that if all twenty-six were paid it .Would cost a city $100,000. (McDermott said that all seven policeman in Lakemoor serve without pay.) Rocco Roti, a resident of Wonder Center, said that he had talked to residents of Lake In The Hills (the county's newest village) and that many people there are unhappy over the incorporation. T^ny Siebert of Wooded Shores, a resident for twenty-four years, said he thought it was an Americaf' right to call a meeting and pointed out that the correct way for those who disapprove is not by abuse Which accomplished nothing but to save their disapproval for the polls. He poirited out that no decision made at the meeting meant anything and wanted further discussion. Fred Kusch of Indian Ridge was another of those who asked for the meeting to continue so that at least he could learn something of what the speaker had intended to present but the loud heckling of the west side contingent finally cut the meeting short. Waynne toM tfee group that it was not necessary to have held such a meeting. A petition with the required number of names is, ready to file but those who had signed wanted the general pubil" to know their reasons for having made such a decision. Waynne said that the petition could have been filed ahd the county judge could call an election without any more persons aware of the petition than the legal number of sixty required. Those who broke up the meeting did not say whether they would organise to present concrete reasons against incorporation. . .. but several in disagreement said they would organize to defeat the measure if it ever came to a vote.

Originally, there was a June 2 deadline set on the fund campaign by sponscrs of the Chicago Educational Television assoreserved thea^ The deadline was extended ihis week when the FCC issued a public notice stating that because educational television organizations need more time to prepare for TV than do commercial interests, the extehsion of time would help to insure that educational stations would actually come into existence.

Rom where I sit... Jy Joe Marsh HeardAbout the Electric Weather Predictor? Sqptet Smith bqilt sp quite a reputation lsst snath by predicting the weather. What he said •easily caste tree. It gel so that folks would sit aroond his little Antique Shop just to get his opinion. Last Monday, though, he said he didnt know what the weather waa going to be like next day. That surprised us and when we asked what happened, Squint said, "Slipped up on my electric hill and was turned off. Ill get to my radio again tomorrow though." Squint had been getting the weather over the radio--jail like anyone else! , From where I sit, that's the way It goes with some "experts." They often don't have any more instils information than you can get for yourself. Like those who "kpow" cider is the only thirst-quencher after a day's work. Far as I'm concerned, I'll take a temperate glass of beer. But--I won't try to "predict" your choice for you.
