It seems that our young population, in need of an education, is here to stay, and in growing numbers. Whether we like it or not, the time comes when everyone must come to the realization that he is among the many who must make a contribution to that education. Yountf people whose M.C.H.S. school days take ihem back more than a docade. will.find time for memories as they l^arn of tho passing of ono of the school bus drivers of their time, Mike Pitzcn. In addition to ti anspoiting them to and from school daily, he kept a youthful spirit just by bein^ a part of their exuberance on long, special trips that are part of high school education these days. We recalled .'i few of these when we visited Mike early this fall, and the memories brought a smile for both of us. It was hardly possible to ignore the weather last Sunday, but fifty members of the Mcllenry Choral club and a loyal audience of more than 150 slid and skidded their way to the" local high school auditorium for the second performance of the club's annual holiday program. For the singers, the biggest disappointment was the fact that a former member. Gus Lakeberg, was unable to be present to be especially honored by his musical friends. Mr. Lakeberg, at 81. recently made a recording as a member of a male quartet, and the Hub had intended to recognize this beloved gentleman for a splendid performance. Publishing a newspaper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we arc silly. If we don't people suy we are loo serious. If we clip things from other newspapers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we don't print every word of all the contributions, ue don't appreciate genius. If we do print them, the newspaper is filled with junk If we make changes in the father fellow's write-up, we are too critical, if we don't, we are blamed for poor editing. Like as not, some joker will say we swiped this from some other publication. We did!

CONSULTANTS SUGGEST COURT HOUSE ANNEX (Continued From Page 1) Supervisor Walter Dean of McHenry cited an opinion of Attorney General Clark stating that a county board was not allowed to purchase land for parking facilities only. His comment came after a suggestion by the advisors that the Class property, across from the annex, be used for such purpose,. which would necessitate the existing apartment building being torn down. At present, the income from the apartment building is used for Valley Hi county home, which reportedly was the sole use stated by the Class family- Estimate Expenditure The study concluded with an estimated expenditure of $360,- 000 for land purchase under the proposed program of expansion. The board had previously announced that land for construction on the site west of Woodstock was available at costs which varied over a period of time, but in the neighborhood of $100,000. The other proposed site by the county planning committee was the fairground, which is already owned by the county. It is expected that the issue, long under discussion and dispute, may come up for a vote by the board in January. Announcement was made of the Motor Fuel Tax collection amounting to $1,361.79 for October in McHenry township and $12,932.23 for the entire county. The sales tax collection for August amounted to $11,327.19 in the county, outside municipalities. Approval was given for a conforming use for Fantasy Farfns, requested by John Stangarone, for the purpose of erecting a new building.

GOVERNMENT REVIEW DINNER SET FOR DEC. 9 (Continued From Page 1) Scrutiny of bills which would invade the rights of people. Schools Respond Taxing districts throughout the county were invited to submit types of legislation in which they were especially interested. So far, only school districts have done this. Their recommendations center around prompter payment of tax monies in general and prompt payment especially of protested tax monies when any particular taxing district is not involved in the protest. State aid to cover addU tional costs for children in need of special education was also noted. Public elected and appointed officials of the various taxing districts in the county are especially invited since they are the ones most directly concerned with legislation. However, it was pointed out that all citizens are welcome since they are the taxpayers who are responsible for meeting any additional tax costs which are generated. Reservations should be made to the sponsor, the Government Improvement league, Crystal Lake. Phone reservations will be taken at 459-6050 and 459-3506.
