*£ ** -i * 1V f4 PG, 12, SEC. I - PLAIN DEALER - AUGUST 10* 1967 McHenry Entries 21-6 Vote Will Rate Highly In Eliminate Annex From Consideration (Continued from page 1) to secure an additional $15, which may be possible if a physician spends some time at the home regularly to help train personnel. The present cost per patient is $259, of which the county contributes $12.30 for insurance and the township gives $32.30 for each patient. Near the end of Tuesday's meeting an additional $425,000 was included in the tentative budget to be used for an addition to Valley Hi home if a two-thirds vote of the board can be obtained. With state requirements becoming more strict, and in view of a definite date set to meet the maximum patient number, the board deemed it necessary to provide money for the project if added support among members can be obtained. A vote to expand the home was defeated earlier this year when two-thirds support was not forthcoming. TAX PROBLEM In a discussion of the Treasurer's report, it was decided to meet* with the State's Attorney to see if some more efficient means might be found to proceed with the collection of delinquent taxes. ft was revealed that in McHenry township, the number of delinquent cases decreased from 3,190 (41.4 percent) to 2,832 (36.7 percent) from rnid- June to mid-July. The Treasurer revealed that there is a problem of discrimination in the collection of delinquent personal property taxes since a high percentage of those falling delinquent each year cannot be sued under the present court schedule.. He estimated that this year about 9,000 individuals and businesses will fail to pay their personal property taxes. A tentative appropriation for 1968 was announced at $2,823,- 565 compared to $2,457,156 in 1967 for an increase of $366,- 409. Increases were noted in elections, $88,000; publishing of tax assessments, $10,000; dependent children, $30,000; planning commission, $18,000; and alternates. Department of Public Health, $36,000. New accounts also made a need for additional funds as follows: McHenry county history, $50,000; employees' insurance, $25,000; enforcing health ordinances, $25,000; jury commission (necessitated under new legislation) $10,000; and Civil Defense, $5,000, for a total of $277,000. In the amount of special funds $100,000 was earmarked in the appropriation for the community mental health fund, which includes mental health and the retarded. VOTING MACHINES The board has deemed it wise to rent voting machines for both of the 1968 elections in view of the additional money which would be required due to the passage of Senate Bill 200, the Election code amended to provide that judges in counties with a population of less than 500,000 shall be compensated $4 for each 100 votes cast in excess of 200 votes in each respective precent ip* addition to their daily fees. The $20,000 rental cm voting machines would be applicable toward eventual purchase compared to the $10,000 cost estimated under the present procedure. A special notation was made of the $25,000 appropriation of the McHenry County Board of Health for the expansion of services as provided by a new ordinance. It was revealed in a report that McHenry has the largest number of patients cared for under supervision of this board; Each supervisor was given a report sheet in which he will record the number of complaints received regarding health problems in public eating establishments. COUNTY HISTORY A report giving the progress of the History of McHenry Coun- j ty listed the salary of Lowell Nye as editor at $11,500, from which he will pay other necessary staff members under his direct control. The sales tax for April in the county was announced at $12,236.92. Grand juniors for the next term of court include Vivian Howard and Leona Bassi of McHenry township, with Arleen Davis and Jane Ducey as Beauty Jageant % , (Continued from page 1) McHenry County "Pageant more enjoyable then ever on the part of the eleven lovely contestants was reflected in the results of the Miss Congeniality voting. The first vote, with all the candidates voting among themselves to choose Miss Congeniality, resulted in a three-way tie. Dorothy Kleckner, chairman of the pageant, called for a re-vote which resulted in the selection of Helen Palko, Miss Wander Lake, as Miss Congeniality, 1967. Basis for voting was friendliness, willingness to help? and personality. This congenxialit y Scouts Return From Jamboree (Continued from page 1) «! the Northern Pacific's "Mainstreeter." The following Sunday morning they arrived in Spokane, Wash., and were taken by bus to their campsite at the Circle KD Ranch, Newman Lake, Wash. During the stay at Newman Lake, the Scouts participated in such activities as swimming, fishing, hiking and canoeing. The visits to the Jamboree site took place during their lake stay. Boy Scouts from all of the nations of the International Scout association attended the twelfth Jamboree, which was the first World Jamboree in the United States. The previous one was held at Marathon, Greece. The McHenry area Scouts visited Scouts from other countries, traded an assortment of Scout items (patches, neckerchefs, caps, etc.), and witnessed an attempt at understanding and making friends with others. Preparations for the trip began last March by the leaders of Troop 162. The preparations included making reservations with the railroad and Circle KD Ranch, physical examinations, checking gear, and many other necessary tasks needed to assure the success of the trip. Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) small segment of our younger population can provide a real threat anywhere. We are becoming accustomed to vandalism and the like, but at least these are acts in which the perpetrator desires to remain unknown. Even more to be feared, it seems, is the open defiance of authority, which is growing at an equally alarming rate. Two such incidents come to mind in our own county in recent weeks. A drive-in owner in a neighboring city told us of an experience in which he asked a group of troublesome youth to leave the parking lot, whereupon they picked up rocks and threw at Mm. His biggest concern was not for the very few tough teen-agers among them but the fact that otherwise good youngsters entered into the undisciplined spirit of (he occasion. In our own community we talked with a resident whose yard was entered by unknown teen-agers who proceeded to help themselves to garden products. On being informed by the owner that this was private property, they continued to eat, passing along a remark that it looked like public property to them. These are only two incidents. Very probably it would be possible to print a book if one had the opportunity to talk with many people. One thing is sure, there are a growing number of adults who are becoming convinced that ifs about time to follow the words of the old song, "There'll be some changes made." Public patience has been tried to the point of being found wanting. Just what is it going to take before this same public demands a modern version of the good, old fashion trip to the wood shed? If a few more parents made this trip with their youngsters, possibly police would be spared walking them to jail. For many of McHenry's young folks, "Pop" is dead. Joseph J. Miller, the man they designated to hold this title of affection, died last week after a short Illness. A former businessman he refused to accept retirement as the years passed along. Mr. Miller accepted as one of his last positions the job of conducting the confectionary counter at the local roller rink. Here he met a good many of McHenry's younger crowd, who imparted to him a bit of the philosophy of their generation just as he was able to give them a glimpse into a few highlights of his own day. We're sure the association was mutually satisfying. McHenry's Legion home was the setting Saturday evening for a reunion of three members of the Adventurer's Club of Chicago, Gregory Gerrard and Richard Smith of Wonder Lake and Alexander Vereschagin of Pistakee Bay. There are only 365 members of this club, scattered throughout the country, and three are from this area.

Numerous Auto Crashes Occur In McHenry Area Cars driven by Frank Eltvedt of Rosemont and William Mounts of Melroise Park collided early Sunday on Rt. 12,, south of Richmond, at Solon road. The drivers and six passengers in the Mounts vehicle were taken by Fox Lake rescue squad to McHenry hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Cynthia Hedge, 17, and her passenger, Susan Kalins, 16, both 6f Spring Grove, were injured early Monday morning when their auto is reported to have gone out -of control near State Park road.

Rathke was unable to stop in time to avoid the collision. No one was injured, includ-, ing six passengers in the Bock vehicle. Peggy Buesseler of Rt. 12, Spring Grove, collided with another auto driven by Lillian A. Shattuck of Grayslake when the former backed out of a driveway onto the highway, drove west in the east-bound lane until she saw the other vehicle approaching and then tried to get back in her own lane. Mrs. Shattuck said she was driving west and pulled over to the left shoulder when she saw the other auto backing out. The Spring Grove driver was blamed for failure to yield the right-of-way. A Wonder Lake man, Gregory F. Chahaj, of Sunset drive, was blamed by deputies for improper passing after an accident last Thursday on Rt. 120 and Thompson road. D.W. Monroe of South Beloit told deputies he was driving west on the highwa^ when he saw Chahaj pull out to pass a semi-truck.

Local Student Talks Of Trip (Continued from page 1) were unable to speak English. She said her use of German was confined to that learned in school until sometime after the first of theyear, when she began conversing in the Swiss language. SLOWER PACE One of the highlights of her memories is of the past holiday season, particularly the fact that it contained none of the last minute, frantic rushing for gifts on Christmas Eve. Instead, she added, many gifts are handmade and the slower pace makes for a more serene and enjoyable observance which residents of the United States have come to associate with Christmas time in the old world. Schools , in Switzerland, she states, are notable for their lack of club and after-school activities, which Miss Krebs believes adds to the rapid progress made by the students. They are particularly inclined toward language study, with four or five taught in Swiss schools. She was amazed to find an outstanding appreciation for cultural activities, especially classical music. Almost everyone plays some type musical instrument, and it is necessary for a prospective teacher in any course of study to display some ability along this line. FEW RULES Lynn observed that there were not many rules, either in the home or school, to be broken. On the other hand, she was not aware of any serious juvenile delinquency problem. A paradox was noted in the relationship of young people with their teachers. Whereas they always stood when an educator entered the room, this same respect was not evident as classes started. She found this particularly true in the case of young teachers conducting classes in which they yiere not always in control. She was not completely convinced that families have closer ties than exist in this country, but observed that they engaged in many more activities together. Lynn attended what is known as a gymnasium - a school devoted to college-bound students. Entrance is difficult and covers a long period of time, mostly between the ages of 13 and 20. Girls who have no in- . tention of continuing on to college may attend a girls' school to learn handwork, home economics or study to become a nurse or kindergarten teacher, as a few examples. Boys often study at trade or technical schools. Lynn's particular class had seventeen boys and only four girls, giving evidence that a small percentage of the girls continue into higher education. At the University of Illinois, Lynn will maj,or in German, but other future plans have not yet been decided definitely. Before leaving her hoftie community for advanced education, Lynn is most anxious to urge other young people to look into the American Field Service program. City Officials Explain Position Toward Solicitors (Continued from page 1) McHenry*s City Clerk, Earl R. Walsh, reports that Ms office checks credentials and registers solicitors. The Cily Clerk does no£ sign any papers for these groups since, in the past, some residents interpreted the signature as an endorsement of product. McHenry has an ordinance prohibiting peddling of merchandise. It is pointed out that this ordinance does not, and cannot, regulate solicitation as described. It has also been pointed out that police should be notified of any improper actions on the part of persons calling at homes or places of business. Studies show that some 40 million people likely lived in the Tigris-Euphrates valley, before the irrigation system was destroyed by Genghis Kahn. The serpent is used on the symbol of the medical profession to represent renewing youth, as it gets a new skin each year. Many people, nowdays, have reason to feel that it should be chaged to the $$ dollar sign, it seems. ©FTENiR SERVICE SAME DAY SERVK i; O.N MOST MAKES • Service • (loaning Out • Repair •Installation • Overhauling • Removal • Reconditioning • Rebuildiim -ALL WORK GUARANTEED-- Ptene: 385-5566 *&*• K5f"E" WATER SOFTENER SALES/SERVICE Mollcnrv.
