PG. 16 - PLAINDEALER - FRI. APRIL 18, T969 % fjS> 1 HOLD ARBOR DAY CEREMONY AT VALLEY VIEW Arbor Day, that long neglected national tree planting day, will be revived in a ceremony at Valley View TAKE pride grade school in McHENRY on Friday, April 25. Jacob Morten, founder of the salt company,, began the practice in 1875 and it was soon proclaimed a national holiday, celebrated each year on his birthday. The McHenry area is fast losing much of its natural beauty. Except for one small city block, there are no parks or forest preserves and few children can identify the trees or birds which flourished in this area a few years ago. Voters, by defeating all proposals to set aside land for forest and wildlife preserves, have denied their children the legacy of nature's beauty. Now it is almost too late. Farm and forest land is being subdivided and few people think it important to replace the majestic trees destroyed by progress or disease. For this reason, Dick Anderson, a teacher devoted to conservation and beautification, has had some of the Valley View acreage set aside as a nature study park. This area will be available to alJ Mc- Henry children. The Mc Henry Beautification council commends Mr. Anderson for his efforts to teach children to respect and appreciate the natural beauty of this land. Mr. Anderson had hoped the community might donate small trees or money to purchase twenty-three trees for Arbor Day, one for each class to plant and care for. He has Musin9 and Meanderin (Continued from page 1) accomplish tasks which become increasingly more difficult in today's complex operation of governing units. There is seldom any thanks extended to these public officials, although their aims are often more similar to our "own that we care to admit. Like all sidewalk superintendents, it is relatively simple to solve their biggest problems from our easy chair In looking at our local section "upsets", we are somehow reminded of Gov. Ogilvie's controversial tax proposal. Whether or not we are in agreement over his approach to raise necessary money for our many Remands, the fact remains that funds are a must to help keep the state's financial head above water. At the "fvery least, we must credit the Governor for bringing home a fact that is more pleasant to forget. Our desire for the best as an individual has come inevitably into conflict with our reluctance to pay the price as a taxpayer. The result is almost dlways a tendency to blame the fellow who brings that point home. Since local governments of all types are spending our money where we are more directly aware of it, could it be possible that the urge for change -- like charity -- begins at home? HEAVY VOTING -- Voting was heavy in Ward 4 (Lakeland Park area) on Tuesday, one of the two city of McHenry wards in which contests existed. This photo was taken in the last minutes before the polls closed. Frank S. Hromec was returned to office by defeating Wm. E. Fandre. PLAINDEALER PHOTO received enough for only six trees. We urge the private citizens, as well as civic organizations and business firms, to help Mr. Anderson in this worthwhile project. Any gift of money, no matter how small, will be accepted and memorial and donor plaques will be used. Balled trees should be taken to Valley View school April 23-24. A list of preferred trees is available and further information may be obtained by calling Mr. Anderson at Valley View school, or the McHenry Beautification council, 385- 1386.
