PG. 4, - PLAINDEALER - FRI., APR., 5, 196B Musin' & Meshiderin Band District (Continued from page 1) sideration of establishing a "B- 1" commercial retail district on the north* side of Waukegan road, taking in the property from Green to Front streets and extending to Elm street. We are told that no immediate action is intended, but that the new commercial district is part of long range planning, with a view toward possible opening the area for business at some future date. The petition will be heard before the zoning board and its recommendation will then be considered by the city before any action is taken. This is a subject which is sure to provoke debate before a decision is reached, One needs only to recall the flaring tempers which involved the Landmark controversy of last summer and early fall to realize that we may again be in the midst of a heated discussion. Since the legal description, seems to take in the Landmark building itself, we find our own inclination to be heard coming to the fore. Only time will tell whether we may expect to see changes in this area. Of one thing we can be sure -- it is a tinder ground for controversy! Anyone who knows Judge John Kaufman realizes that he is an imposing figure off the bench as well as on, his height comparing favorably with some of today's basketball stars. To hear him tell of being literally stepped in his tracks by a large, black dog as he left his home one day three weeks ago had an amusing quality. All of the fun went out of the story as we learned last Thursday that a pet Sclfriauzer owned by the Bohl family was attacked and almost killed by the same black dog. The Bohls are neighbors of the Kaufmans and were in the habit of leaving the pet dog tied in the yard. It was there that the small dog was the victim of the attack. We have also learned that the same dog very nearly took a choice bite out of one of our city policemen recently when he stopped at the park. The incident would not be so " newsworthy except that residents of this part of McHenry indicate; numerous, stray dogs roapiingiheir property. Jo thess of us who love dogs, the? seriousness lies in the fact that authorities and the abused property owners are usually prone to take drastic steps toward the animal. A fine for getting the dog back from the pound hardly seems the answer, for dog owners who allow their pets to roam would seldom pay the price. We are not alone in believing that a good fine administered for the offense itself might solve the problem in the many communities it is sure to occur this spring.

Slightly more than one-half of all traffic fatilities occur at night. However, the fatality rate at night is far greater in view of decreased traffic volume. In 1966 the nighttime rate was 10.1 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles, compared to 3.8 in daytime. The chart above, prepared by the Street and Highway Safety Lighting Bureau, shows how much fatalities would be reduced at night if the rate were the same as daytime. Experience at high-accident locations before and after installation of adequate street lighting has shown that light can help reduce accidents and deaths, according to the Bureau. CORRESPONDENT STATUS AWARDED COUNTY COLLEGE McHenry County college has been voted Correspondent status in the North Central association of Colleges and Secondary schools. The executive board of the Commission on Colleges and Universities took this action at a meeting held March 28 in Chicago. Correspondent status for the college is the first step leading toward full membership (accreditation) in the North Central association. This status indicates that the institution has given evidence of sound planning and the resources to implement these plans and has indicated an intent to work toward accreditation. Correspondent status is not an accredited status nor does it assure or imply eventual accreditation. President Forest Etheredge said "The achievement of Correspondent status is a big step forward for the college. It confirms the soundness of the work done by board and staff over the last nine months in laying the foundation for an outstanding community college to serve Mce Bakt AL BALLOT For Members of The Board of Education School District No. 156 To Serve For Three Years (Vote for 2) • ELIZABETH M.
