THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER •Serving The Cbaia-O-Lakes Regida Siac* 1875" Volume 87 -- No. 48 3 Sections McHENRY. ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, APRIL 12. 1962 24 PAGES -- 10c PER COPY ' V McClory, McConnell Tuesday Winners GOP Primary Contest Winners Late filers of income tax returns are reminded that the deadline is Monday, April 16, which doesn't give much time to take care of last minute details. Open house at the new Ringwood school on Sunday, April #5' marks culmination of a dream of long standing for residents of that community. Wh«*n enrollment in their centuVy old school forced the transporting of pupils to McHenry on a tuition basis, a bond issue vote was suggested. This was a year ago, and in contrast to many similar elections where opinion is divided, a count of ballots ^found the proposal almost unanimous. , Construction started, and last February pupils transferred to the new building. The social atmosphere of open house will no doubt bring a glow of pride to those whose efforts have made possible the attractive new school. | This is Library Week, and to McHenry residents looking forward to a new and larger library of their own in the near future, the observance takes on special significance. •There could be no more appropriate time for the City Council to take action in advertising for bids for the addition. Plans have already been submitted for the building and la much needed parking area. Records cf the librarian, Mrs. Lynn Stuart, reveal the growihg popularity of the library" and give indication that ;the present quarters will not rlong be adequate for the number1 of persons using it. Dur- -ing January, there were 783 books issued, compared to 978 in February and a big jump to 11.529 in March. The average daily circulation has reached fifty-eight, and on the busiest day as many as 106 visited the library. It is interesting to note that between 60 and 65 per cent of books taken out are fiction. K. A. F. A. B. McCONNELL ROBERT McCLORY AUDREY WALGENBACH EDWARD A. DO WD RICHARD L. TAZEWELL School Hoard Contests Promise Large Vote In >eveira Local Districts Public Pool Vote April 14 With the primary election still a very' vivid memory, voters will now concentrate attention on school board elections which -will take place next Saturday, April 14, in the various local districts. In High School District 156, there will be three candidates seeking two positions for threeyear terms. Incumbent members seeking re-election are Arthur Stilling of Ringwood road, McHenry, and Fred A.

Only two of them involve the expenditure of money, and of these the largest is the bqnd issue for a natatorium (swimming pool) in the amount of $270,000. The complete building size will be 86x128 feet, with an indoor-outdoor pool 42x75 feet, constructed just east of the last addition to the school.

The vote in Mc- Henry's seventeen precincts totaled 4,125. (Continued on Page 5) Achievement Night At Junior High April 12 The Community P.T.A. is sponsoring Achievement Night at the Junior high school tonight, April 12, starting • at 7 p.m. Youngsters from Edgebrook, Valley View, Hilltop, and Landmark schools will be participating. It will be a three-part program featuring demonstrations in art and music and spelling. Committeemen Contests Close The great interest in Tuesday's primaiy, at the local level, centered on the precinct committeemen races, which existed, especially among the Democrats,' in the majority of the precincts. These contests probably accounted for a larger vote than some expected, especially among backers of this party. Two contests were so close that there was a real air of excitement until the last vote was counted. In Precinct 10, John (Jack) McCafferty was the winner with 50 votes against 48 for his opponent, James A. LaGreca. In Precinct 11, Paul N. Cooper, with 21 votes, lost to Kenneth C. Barker, who polled 22. Both contests were in the Democratic ranks. Precinct committeemen voting in the seventeen precincts was as follows: Precinct 1: R., James H. Wegener. 94; D., John C. Scharf, 25, and Roy W. Dodd, 20. Precinct 2: R., Charles J. Miller, 144; D., Edward J. Thennes, 41, and William J. (Continued on Page 8) State Rep. Robert McClcry was way out ahead of the field of eight G.O.P. candidates in the race for representative in Congress in the newly formed Twelfth district. His total vote, with only a few precincts out in Lake county, was 14,923 compared to William M. Carroll, Jr., of McHenry county, who was fourth with 6,459. In McHenry county alone, McClory polled 5/)10 against 4,581 for Carroll. Others in the district race polled the following: Coulson, 10,890; Lambros, 5,533; Wetzel, 3,894; Wildman, 8,019; Haskins, 1,631; and Francis, 1,631. A. B. McConnell apparently will be returned to the state House, for he was running fat ahead of the other candidates in unofficial tabulations early SET DEADLINE M FOR ENTRIES IN COUNTY ART FAIR ,3Tay 15 is the deadline ior county artists to enter their v£orks in the sixth annual Country Art Fair, v.hich will TW held June 22.
