H' •'I i COLLEGE File Candidacy Petitions From April 28 - May 5 Although a successful election culminated many months of work by many persons, District 528 Junior College in McHenry County is not yet finalized. Work toward this end has just begun. Petitions are being circulated for board candidacy. with seven persons to be elected, two required from unincorporated areas. The election has been set for May 27 and petitions will be filed between April 28 and May 5. Recently the Junior College Association of the McHenry County area held a victory dinner at which this organization was disbanded. The McHenry County Education foundation will carry on the work which will include a considerable amount of survey study preparatory for the new board. Also at this dinner, toasts were made to the various individuals, groups and organizations who worked together to conduct a successful campaign. Without the assistance of all these workers, District 528 would not become a reality. Committees have been formed in areas to develop information which will be handed to the new board when it is established. Rental which may be available for industrial, technical, vocational or other classrooms are to be investigated through the facilities and charges committee headed by Dan Malone and James Zoellick. SALARY SURVEY The salary survey committee will be chaired by Chuck Peterson of McHenry and is to determine salaries paid to various faculty members in . other junior colleges. Availability of personnel and whatjthey can teach is to be headed bar Richard Taylor and James Burch. C. W; Coons will head agroiq> to study curriculum offerings, determining what other Illinois Junior colleges in thrfr first- year of operation presented. , What funds aije available for what vocational, technical and arts courses are to be determined through a committee headed by Charles Scott. Together with a financial projection or budget for the new board, a better understanding will be possible on how the foundation feels in meeting costs during the first year. It is also felt by the foundation that any endowments whether monetary, equipment or property, could benefit the newly formed junior college district and a group to handle this is to be headed by William Franz. Tom Parsley will hand enrollments and student interests so that it can be determined how many have applied for financial assistance with the high school and if pos sible determine their interests. The historical aspects of the junior college and its beginning are to be handled by Mrs. Joan Hill, Mrs. Iris Bryan and Cal Skinner. Office facilities and available spaces and rates for temporary office use of the college administration is to be surveyed by Mrs. Hill. ft was determined that no further efforts regarding a campus site and building are to be attempted except to compile any data regarding this aspect as it is offered. William Baker, who was head of the site and selection committee, is being requested to continue in this effort. All the survey work to be handled by the foundation is in an effort to more readily assist the new board so that classes possibly may be available in September, 1967. uss n CLASSIFIEDS t ,Y!

(Tenth in a series ot articles on township, government This one evaluates 'metro" government as an alternative to local governmental units). There is smoldering political agitation in this country aimed at increasingly stronger federal and centralized governmental control. A few years ago, this concept of big-government expansion descended on Illinois. It came in the form of a proposal for "Metro" government in the Chicago area, with a plan for a multt-coUnty, centralized, singlMmit government controlling Cook. I Sonet Hey Dad! The "apple of your eye" is going to ask you for a date Wednesday, April 26, at 6:45 at the Johnsburg Community club, and a proud papa you'll be as you escort her to a dinner in your honor. There will be 165 more Girl Scouts just like her there. To fill those hungry appetites, the menu calls for roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and all the trimmings. You will have the opportunity to meet other Scouts in daughter's troop and her troop leaders. The Valley View Neighborhood service team will be guests. A salute goes to the two leaders who worked hard to make this dinner possible, Mrs. James Althoff and Mrs. Raymond Thelen. The troops will make their own place cards and name tags. One member from each troop will carry her troop flag inpresentation of the colors. There will be entertainment and group singing. Lake, DuPage, McHenry and Will counties. If it took hold in the Chicago area it would inevitably be proposed for other areas of the state. Hour It Weeks This metro govemm e n t would replace county, city, village and township governments --to complete or varying degrees -- and would assume control over school and park districts as well. The people would elect a metro board, but from that point so-called "streamlining" would take place. A metropolitan manager would be appointed by the board, along with a horde of appointed officials -- replacing most all officials who are now elected. Offices such as sheriff, clerk, treasurer, tax assess* ment and collection, township administrators an d boards, school superintendent, and others would no longer be elective. The people would have no voice in appointments, except by remote control through the metro board. The master planners of metro govenment say this would improve governmental efficiency, reduce costs and represent good home rule. To say that some people disagree is putting it mildly. Township officials, for example, point out that there is much evidence of the efficiency of local governments. Some of this evidence of was cited in the preceding article, particularly applying to welfare costs and highway maintenance costs, which are handled by townships at about half the costs incurred by the county, state or federal agencies. It is extremely doubtful that metro government could possibly match townships in efficiency and economy of . administration, township spokesmen say. There is considerable evidence, they add, that inefficiency of government increases as it grows larger. On the matter of metro government representing effective home rule, a conclusion is widespread that this is pure hogwash. Home Rule Home rule is simply what it says. It is government which relies upon the power of the local electorate. Home rule is not the administration of local affairs by appointed agents of larger governmental bodies. Even if appointed local officials happen to be from 5heir home districts, the "home rule" concept vanishes because these officials are politically responsible to those who appoint them -- not to the local electorate. Administration of local affairs consequently becomes centralized area rule. The next step in this pro- " cess is the amalgamation of centralized rule with federal control. Such control already exists in the form of federal financial grants with strings attached. The strings become easier to tie -- and become stronger -- as there are fewer local governmental units to deal with. Many New Deal, New Frontier and Great Society plans and projects have demonstrated the overwhelming power of federal control. •Recognises Trend In fact, in a speech to the State Legislative Leaders organization in November, 1966, the vice-president of the United States recognized this trend. He said 'Modern A m e r i c a n g o v e r n m e n t r e - VETIRANS OF JFOREII Mai* "•V.M /m** The Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsors Loyalty Day programs during the May 1 weekend.

ART, PRODUCTS OF PATIENTS TO BE EXHIBITED An exhibit of oil, water color and other paintings and drawings made by patients at Elgin State hospital will be featured in the Elgin room at the Elgin YWCA Monday through Saturday, May 1 through May 6.
