Of some interest are the many parallels to be drawn between the assassination of 100 years ago and the tragic events of Dallas in November of 1963. It is hoped that with the centennial of Lincoln's death approaching, an increasing interest in the life and death of one of our foremost Americans- will be furthered by this informal lecture. He was born in Chicago and received his under-graduate and medical , school education at the University of Chicago. During his intern and residency training at Detroit, Mich., he became interested in the Civil War and particularly the role of Abraham Lincoln in that great conflict.

"I have also seen him work with legislators. H# is a good worker and is aware of the problems of the state." As state treasurer, Scott reported that state funds invested by him earned nearly 18 million dollars in interest during, 1963. During his first year in office he trimmed the regular office payroll from 186 to 130 employees. Scott cited his experience as a member of the Illinois Public Aid commission for a year and recalled he led Republicans in insisting on a ceiling on funds for relief recipients. Richard Joslyn, chairman of the McHenry county "Scott for Governor" committee, presided over the meeting called by the McHenry County Central committee. Levesque, chairman of the Central committee, introduced Scott and reviewed developments which led to Scott's entry into the race three weeks ago. Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from page 1) elusion that a "horse and buggy" cure may be the answer to one of today's most frequent accident causes -- second only to speed as a contributor to crashes. It is "the increase in accidents caused by driving to the left of the center line on a highway. It was back in 1911 that the "cure" was found by a Michigan highway commissioner. When he saw an auto almost collide with a horse and buggy on a narrow bridge, he realized that neither of the drivers could tell where the center of the bridge was, so he painted lines on the bridges and later did the same on highways. Of course, the best results come from divided highways, but these are hardly feasible for all of the millions of miles of existing streets and highways in our nations today. This leaves as the best present answer, the use of painted lane markings, no passing lines, road edge striDincr and similar devices, which are far more effective when reflective materials are used so that they can be seen at night. K. A. F. FINANCIAL WOES AT HARRISON - AIRED AT OVERTIME MEETIW;- VOTE A6AWST COACH CONTRACT An overtime Harrison Dist. 36 school board meeting, divided on the subject of complicated money and educational matters, was recessed until Feb. 18. It will be reconvened to finish t.he business at hand at the time of reces£T"and then adjourn before the regular meeting of the eighteenth to called to order. The meeting was. highlighted by debate on ways to trim costs, involving such subjects as kindergarten, staff and contracts for 1964-65, extra curricular activities and bus transportation. Board members present were Dr. S. L. Ruggero, president; Henry Setzler, William Cristy, Mrs. Jay Hansen and Dr. Raymond H. Watkins. On motion by Dr. Ruggero, secqruj^d by Cristy, the board voted 4 to 1 to employ the same number of teachers next year as are now on the staff. This vote automatically insured that kindergarten will be retained for the coming year. A salary committee composed of Wilbur Haak and Merl F. Thomas, superintendent, presented three propositions: Freeze salaries, continue the present salary schedule that provides for automatic 11,300 or 1 per cent of the total school budget, or adopt a new salary schedule that eliminates certain inequities and allows for merit increases but which w;otfld increase salaries $3,625 or 4 per cent of the total budget. After considerable debate, during which factors of staff morale and possible resignations were mentioned, the board voted 3 to 2 to continue the existing salary schedule. Board Divided It was on the matter of extra pay for teachers who perform additional duties that the board found itself divided. Involved is a total $2,000 in extra pay. After nearly two hours of making motions, passing some, reject or withdrawing others, the board found it could not complete this^ action. Had the various motions been accepted as ofofficial, only some $300 "to $500 of the $2,000 would actually have been saved. Although it is impossible some of these motions 'might be brought up again, and voted upon, the board did take these actions: On motion of Cristy, seconed by Setzler, and supported Hi I rr- FOR Aim for his heart with handsome gifts to wear from our Valen-timefy selection of everything for the well-dressed man's spring and summer.

Open Daily 8 a.m. to fi p.m. -- Friday 8 a.m. to 0 p.m. CLOSED ON SUNDAYS USE THE FREE GREEN STREET PARKING AREA by Mrs. Hansen, the - board voted 3 to 2 against issuing a contract for a part-time basketball' coach. Whether this definitely eliminates from inter- school basketball competition depends on action with respect to using a Harrison teacher as a coach, and this hinges on the extra-pay question. Dr. Watkins spoke strongly in favor of the basketball program, pointing out it was an essential part of physical education, and that probably more boys take part in practice sessions than any other single activity in the school. He also stressed that basketball experience helps some boys make the high school team, an opportunity they might otherwise miss. He urged consultation with professionals before basketball is eliminated. Cristy noted that the board last July, before the last defeated referendum, voted to eliminate inter-school basketball and cheerleading, and that the board should stick to its previous decision. Bus Transportation The midnight recess came finally in the middle of a discussion of continued bus transportation for next year. Taking into account all economics, the schodl would save a little more than $5,000 if buses were discontinued. Here again the board found itself badly divided, Dr. Watkins taking a firm position that the safety of youngsters should over-ride all other considerations, and if so~muGh as one youngster was injured for lack of bus transportation it would be on the conscience of every board member. Dr. Ruggero concurred with the safety consideration, but said if drastic measures are necessary to cut costs, he would prefer holding to educational values and place the responsibility on parents to get their children to school safely. At this point, James L. Bixby noted thai while he is frequently criticised on how he reports school board affairs, he nevertheless would offer to organize another attempt at passing a school referendum. This would be a citizens' committee completely separate from the school board, and the non-affiliated committee would seek the support of the community tQ solve Harrison's money problems.

Thomas announced lhat the firfct tax antic] jiation warrant should be voted by the board at the Feb. 18 regular meeting to obtain furfds to pay the March bills. This is a month earlier than previously reported. After payment of .$18,000 February bills, a balance of $2,120 is calculated for March 1. «, Next Election The next school board elections is Saturday, April 11, from noon until 7 p.m. Terms of Haak and Setzler expire this year. Feb. 26 is the first day to file petitions and March 21 the last. March 24 is the last day to withdraw petitions. Mail requests for absentee ballots are accepted until April 6, and in person until April 8. Some women at the last meeting, and later in personal calls, asked that the record show they attended the school board as individuals, to correct an implication that they are part of a "citizens group." These included Mrs. Amy Street, Mrs. Dorothy Smith, Mrs. Greta Weisenberger and Mrs. Simone Fuller. Guests at the last meeting also included Mrs. Doris Rupp, James Bloom and Francis G. Higgins. With respect to the music evaluation program offered by American Music Conference, officials of AMC met with the Harrison staff on Feb. 5 and agreed to survey current music activity in the school before either the school or AMC agree on the two-year music education program offered free by AMC. This also will need to be voted on at a board meeting. Accidents take the lives of about 1,000 American school children each month.
