MAY 16, 1969 VOTE NEW SCHOOL LUNCH PLAN (Continued from page 1) Landmark, had submitted his bid in error by $10,550 and the firm spokesman indicated the only way the work could be done without a loss was to do it when time was available. Because of the urgent need for classroom space, the board finally agreed to split the $10,550 figure with the agreement that the first and second floors would be completed by Sept. 1, the basement by Oct. 1 and all work by Nov. 1.

Myra Murray attended the meeting and announced dissolvment of the Citizens Advisory council for lack of interest. Two other Mc Henry women, Mrs. Bauer and Mrs. Cunat, discussed the role of an Educational Study group which they head as co-chairmen.

THREE AUTOS INVOLVED IN TUESDAY CRASH Three autos were involved in an accident Tuesday morning on River road, a mile south of McHenry. One driver was blamed for improper lane usage. R.W. TTiietje of 2503 Driftwood drive, McHenry, told sheriff s police he was driving north on River road behind another auto driven by George H. Turley of 2515 S. Sheid lane. As both cars approached a curve, Thietje saw Michael Marrone of 909 N. River road cross the center line and strike the Turley vehicle. Thietje said he drove onto the shoulder to avoid both cars and in doing so knocked down a county sign. His story was corroborated by Turley. Marrone told police he was south-bound and his auto was close to the center line when the vehicles cottidedi- ; " • r no injuries. Many Supervisor Appointments Are Made (Continued from page 1) erendum is necssary to establish a building fund. The board has requested further information through the Attorney General's opinion on the legality of transferring money from the surplus fund to the Valley Hi building fund. Further discussion was postponed until more information is obtained. The Public Building committee reported on a mestin* with the Woodstock City council on May 7,. Committee members expressed encouragement and scheduled another meeting May 19 to settle details o' a preannexation agreement concerning court house property. This will be an executive session meeting, with the results in the form of a joint arnoaioem<; it by the city a.id :ounty. A report Was submitted con- H cerning the visit of Commissioner Orville Church and Harley Mackeben to the American Society of Planning Officials 1 1969 conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was emphasized that any delinquent personal property tax owed by a person applying for liquor licenses was also collected. A zoning petition in Hartland township brought out facts' of interest.

Also, a new and comprehensive child development program of nutritional and health services has the property was being upgraded. Zoning precedes the process of obtaining a building permit, and Assistant Supervisor Buss pointed out that zoning has nothing to do with condi-. tions of the soil. Another member then asked what happened if property with poor soil condition should be zoned for residential use, after which the buyer finds soil conditions unsuitable for building. Supervisor Buckley said the health and welfare of the community should determine zoning decisions.

Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) was exercising his great faculty ifor pertinent imagination which focused so strongly on the truth. Pondering on the observations of the business man and Mr. Twain brings to mind the indisputable fact that the city and the local newspaper seem to have a mutual influence. A good city helps to make a good newspaper, and conversely, a good local paper helps to build a better community. It is our intention to continue, to the best of our ability, to supply readers with a quantity and quality of news they have a right to expect in their home town newspaper. To be 100 per cent successful requires an equal effort (xi the part of the business community! After driving through Johnsburg several times this Spring and viewing the handmade work of Clarence Smith, we feel compelled, once again, to make note of the tremendous accomplishment of this man. For years we have felt admiration for the talent expressed in the woodwork of this sightless artisan. This year, in addition to his regular items, Smith is displaying new, decorative pieces which would give extreme pride to one who was able to see as he pursued his trade. The pride experienced by this lifetime resident of the community must certainly be doubled. • Friends and merely acquaintances learned with regret of the passing of George Stock this week. Until three years ago, he was a familiar sight as he drove the postal truck about the community, making deliveries of packages and special deliveries. His was pleasant work, for more often than not his appearance brought a smile from the lady of the house or the business man anticipating the arrival of "something special*'. Few have .carried on a ^ longer career -- forty-two years -- in one employment . and few have served the public so faithfully. Whispering Oaks residents -- at least some of them -- have found their quiet retirement community invaded by youngsters. At least twice in the past ten days, tulips have been ripped from one small flower garden on Hanley street and strewn about. From one tired gardener to another, won't you parents please make note of the whereabouts of your youngsters after 10 (/clock at night? This is the plea of the lady who called in our office this week to make her complaint. Cub Scouts of Troop 162 deserve a kind word for taking considerable time on Mother's Day to visit the Woodstock Residence. They talked with the patients and performed numerous tasks to assist them, . KAF MFT ALLOCATION Illinois counties have been allocated $1,628,070 for townships and road districts of motor fuel tax paid into the state treasury during April, Public Works Director William F. Cellini has announced. McHenry county is listed for $15,459. Pam McHardy Student-To-Star (Continued from page 1) gone so for as to predict that the lovely young lady will become a star. Incidentally, she was recommended for that program by Irv Kupcinet, noted columnist. Pain's work consists of interviewing the many guests in advance and making note of all information so that the interview will run smoothly. She assists Eigen with the interviews when the occasion arises and reads mail on the air. In one week's time, she interviewed such celebrities as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Don Charrey, Dorothy Collins, Art Linkletter, Forest Tucker, Mel Torme and many others. Miss McHardy has also conducted her own weekly talk show on Station WKRS for two years. The young graduate-to-be is an accomplished singer, her talents running the gamut from pop songs to coloratura ariq^. She is receiving her degree in three and one-half years. With possible TV commercials and television series in the offing, it is safe to predict that for this young McHenry girl there is a star in her future. for MEN When selecting a gift for him. ... let us help! A gaslight turns people on. Want to see the faces light up at your next cookout or patio party? Install an elegant new gaslight. A gaslight turns people on with a warm glow that's friendly and flattering.. .even kind of romantic. (Except to insects gaslight doesn't attract them.) And if you really want to upstage everybody, install a new gas outdoor grill at the same time. They're available in stationary or portable models. Permanent briquettes give you that wonderful, smoky charbroil flavor without charcoal mess. It's so easy, you'll use it all year 'round. Especially with a gaslighted patio. Incidentally, a gaslight-in the front yard isn't a bad idea, either. For beauty and protection (they're always on, whether you're at home or away). Gaslights are available in many styles.. .from classic coachlight to sleek contemporary. See them at your dealer's. Or phone us.
