MAY 9, 1969 Musin' & Meanderin ^^DWITH (Continued from page 1) BURGLARY, THEFT The late Carl Buckner, superintendent of schools in Mc- Henry, would have liked the small court yard on the west side of East campus as it looks today.

DON PEASLEY PHOTO McHenry county's Department of Health -- a little over a year old-was the focal point of interested visitors from two Illinois counties last week to learn about the feasibility of establishing a similar department in their home counties. Ward Duel, administrator of the McHenry County Department of Health, hosted seventeen people from Whiteside and Kaftkakee counties. He took them on a tour to see problem areas and learn how they are being solved. He presented a slide film to show more functions of the department. During the day-long session, Duel arranged interviews with key people the visitors wanted to see. Said one visitor from Kankakee county, "We're looking for a way to establish a department of health that is economical, yet still under control of the board of supervisors, and we jivierstand this is tru3 of your young departmsnt." Included in the group of visitors were building officers, soil and water conservation people, veterinarians an j board of supervisor members. They explained they were interested in the environmental health services and problems such as septic system?, drainage, and pollution. ""However, they expressed keen interest in facets of the department related to public health needs, Duel observed. , The group asked to visit the county after learning of the way this department +ias expanded its service to the public. Variety of requirements for the department keep growing as various government and civic officials realize the help that can be offered and the protection afforded the public with awareness and vision. Among areas of achievement or service given as examples to show department functions were these listed by Duel: 1. Reduction of public health menace from overflow of septic systems. 2. Checking water supply in private wells. 3. Acting on referrals from County courts, sherifPs department and the building officer when any of them finds health of people threatened In problems they are working on. 4. Work to eliminate water pollution. At George P. Freund You'll find more mowin' a groin' for you when you take the short cut over to the big price slice. Better hurry, though.

A sincere thank-you note has been received from, the class of Sister Jean Ann at Mundelein following a plant tour of the Plaindealer conducted last week for her young students. That red-letter day devoted to all mothers should be circled on everyone's calendar as May 11. We know she is just a.bout the nicest person to enter our life and Mother's Day is set aside to tell her so. A contributor sent us a clipping containing a small item she believed worth some thought. We agree. It noted that just before election time last November, a cry arose to lower the voting age. Yet about half of all Americans between the ages of 21 and 29 never bothered to register. Maybe they were too busy marching! KAF ATTENDS CONVENTION Marcia Henshall, 3204 Still Hill drive, McHenry, attended ,the ninth International Am way convention at Grand Rapids, Mich., April 24 through April 26. She operates her independent distributorship of Amway products in the McHenry area. Duel said the visitors left in a positive mood, feeling for the most part that something -an be undertaken in their respective counties that will result in a workable department. They all stressed, however, that much legwork is required before anything will be started locally. Thorny Edward Rinda of 4421 N. Mapleleaf drive, McHenry, has been charged by sheriffs detectives with burglary and theft over $150. Rinda is accused of breaking out a rear window in a building belonging to Ernest LaBay at 4303 N.

This is a countywide program in cooperation with Sheriff John Carroll, A1 Querhammer, Director of Civil Defense, and Captain Crockett of the State Police. The plan will be studied for future action. A delegation from Whispering Oaks sought approval of a plan to spray their area in a mosquito control program. The proposed plan indicated the use of a heMcopter. Other plans of control are to be studied. The city will purchase two floats to be used in the Marine Festival Day parade and to enter in various events in other municipalities. It was agreed to proceed with Phase "2" of the city hall remodelling since construction costs are mounting and it will be advantageous to complete the entire job rather than disrupt operations at a later date.
