A letter was read from Pr©*^ ident Roland Herrmann of the McHenry Kiwanis club, stating that they did not wish to take part in the all-sports banquet thfe year for the reason that it was "too costly and cumbersome" for them to participate. Exchange Agreement An agreement was made between the local school board and the board at Grant high school in Fox Lake for an exchange of two students who Will not be required to pay tuition. Each school district had one student who had been educated in their grade and high school districts for more than eight years and wished to continue classes in their respective communities. However, because they are no longer in the same high school districts, tuition would have been required except for permission of both boards to the exchange.. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN CITY TAKE DOWNWARD TREND THIS YEAR COLLEGES CHOSEN BY OVER NINETY MCHS GRADUATES Mnsin'-& Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) autumn, there is seasonal confusion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sarley at 516 N. Lakeview drive, Lakemoor. Mrs. Sarley reports a lilac bush 1n her yard proudly displaying four beautiful, big lilacs. One of the sure signs of autumn is the increasing number of crickets moving into homes and offices. There is a decided difference of opinion here at- the Plaindealer on just what should be done about them. To avoid having them suffer effects of a fly swatter, we are keeping quite busy transporting them through the door and outside. A point in our favor is an announcement from the college Of agriculture of the University of Illinois that these small Creatures do little damage, the only exception being their ability to chew on starched, stored Clothes. All the time we thought the growth in McHenry had occurred since World War II, and now we discover that forty years ago the local high school enrollment jumped from 117 to 144 from spring to fall. K.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE GO BI6 on the BIG DAY FREE GIFTS FOR ALL Sept. 27-28-29 See Bernie Maichen At BERNIE'S CITIES SERVICE Rt. 130 East of Bridge In the monthly police report to the city council, presented by Sergeant Clark ftt the regular meeting this week, it was of interest to note that traffic accidents have been greatly reduced during the past summer. With the establishment of an off street parking area through cooperation with the Green Street businessmen, the council decided last spring to change the parking angles. In the interest of public safety, it was necessary to sacrifice some parking spaces. The move has proved sound as the police report shows no accidents in the area during the busy summer months. A notable reduction of accidents on Elm Street was also reported. This is attributed to extra effort in patrolling the street. Approve Request A request from the McHenry Medlcai Group to use the former Odilon Long residence for office space during construction of the new addition to the Medical Group building, was approved for a six month period with stipulations to control any excess parking in the residential area. While the council has reduced the number of tag days in McHenry. careful*consideration to the problems and work of the Illinois Missionary Children's Home at Lake Zurich prompted granting a one day permit this month. The Board of Local Improvements met to complete necessary action in bringing to a close the special assessment p r o j e c t p r o v i d i n g s a n i t a r y sewer mains to Cooney Heights and other areas.

Petty, the board of education of the Big Hollow School district has commenced preliminary discussions of a proposed school building program. The board has beeen advised by state and county school officials that building improvements are required if the district is to keep pace with the growing number of children attending the school. Also, some educational facilities not now available to the school children are needed. Robert C. Swanson, Evanston school architect, has been retained by the board to prepare preliminary plans for enlarging and improving the school. The board is hopeful that drawings and cost estimates will be available at the next regular meeting, to be held Thursday, Sept. 19th. Investigations are also being conducted by Municipal Research Associates, school finance consultants of Kenilworth, to determine the best possible methods of financing the proposed construction. Since the district's last building expansion, began in 1954, enrollment; has increased 68 per cent from 188 to 316. Further increases in enrollment are expected each year. As a result of the mounting enrollment, two classrooms for each grade will soon be required. Other improvements needed are an enlarged cafeteria, stage and locker room facilities. Edmond Taveirne, school superintendent, has advised that residents of the district will be kept informed as the board's plans progress.

Increased Penalties Under New License Law Warning To Drivers In view of the steadily increasing traffic fatality coutit throughout the nation -- and of particular concern in McHenry county -- it can readily be seen how larger penalties for unlicensed driving have been written into the drivers' license law by the recent General Assembly. The new law pertains especially to persons driving after a revocation or suspension period has expired, persons who have never held a driver license, and persons driving with an expired license. The provision setting a minimum seven-day jail sentence and a fine not to exceed $1,000 for drivingXduring a revocation or suspenson period is retained for that offense. However, under the new provision, the same penalty now is in effect for persons who fail to obtain a new license but resume driving at the end of the revocation or suspension period. Until this time, rulings by some courts had been that an unlicensed driver operating a motor vehicle after the expiration of a revocation or suspension period was guilty only of driving without a license, not of driving while revoked or suspended. For those who have never held a driver license, the penalty for driving under those circumstances is now a minimum of three days in jail and a fine not^to exceed $1,000. Previously, only a fine, not to exceed $300, cduid be assessed for the first offense, while for the second, a maximum of one year in jail and a maximum $1,000 fine could be made. For driving with an expired license, the penalty now is a minimum $20 and a maximum $300 in cases where the license has been expired less than six months, and a* $50 minimum for longer. The law now provides that the revocation period may be extended for another year and the suspension period for the same length of time as the original suspension for persons convicted on any traffic law violation charge during a revocation or suspension period. Previously, it was necessary that the persons be convicted on the specific charge of driving while revoked or suspended before the extensions could be placed in effect. Considering the numfegr of drivers in our own area who are fined in court for licenses not in order through suspensions or revocations, it would seem that the new law has not come into being too soon. Oak Wilt Becomes Problem As Threat To Giant Oaks In the last few years since McHenry has joined other mid-west communities in seeing the elm tree population dwindle to a threat of distinction, public interest is centering on the problem of replacement and also on other diseases besides Dutch Elm which are destroying our giant shade trees. Growing in importance is oak wilt, which is caused by a parasitic fungus. It spreads in at least two ways -- through grafted roots and through the air. It is known that the roots of trees in the red oak group frequently graft with one another. From experimental work it appears that the fungus may be carried through the air by wind, insects and other animals. Some oaks die in one growing season, while other trees persist longer, usually living for several years. An infected tree cannot be identified positively by leaf symptoms alone, since it can be confused with injuries from frost, lightning, drought, etc. If a laboratory test is desired of a suspected tree, at least three branch pieces 6 to 12 inches long and one-half inch or larger in diameter should be collected for living branches on which there are wilting leaves. They should toe placed in plastic bags or foil and mailed immediately to the Section of Applied Botany and Plant Pathology, Natural History Survey, Natural Resources building, Urbana, 111. Like Dutch Elm, no treatment is known that will cure oak wilt, although some white and burr oak showing localized branch infections have not wilted in succeeding years after removal of the affected parts. After the disease has become established in an area, the spread of the fungus appears to be predominantly through grafted roots. Healthy trees may be protected by trench cutting the grafted roots. To prevent spread of the fungus through the air, diseased trees should be cut and burned.
