cAdopt Oxdinance On Sewet System. In the lengthy proceedings necessary to setting up a spec­ ial assessment project, the le­ gal work on the "McHenry Lakeland Park Area Sanitary Sewer System" reached a stage where an ordinance was adopt­ ed by the McHenry City Coun­ cil Monday night. Providing sanitary sewer lines to the westerly section of the city through various means of financing is progressing ac­ cording to schedule, although not as fast as all concerned would like to see. Upon advice of the city's financial consultant, Marvin B. Birchfield, the Council recently sold the $675,000 general ob­ ligation bonds at an opportune time after waiting for conditions in the market to change to sell under the 6 percent limit pro­ vided for in the referendum. Proceeds will be used to enlarge the present plant, additional ar­ ea having been purchased from Charles Coles adjacent to the plant. Another step in financing the project will be the sale of rev­ enue bonds. This will be nec­ essary for construction of large trunk lines. As engineering progresses, the sale of these bonds will take place. Funds from this sale are not needed at the present time. The special assessment bonds, which are not sold as easily as other bonds, will be a direct assessment against property in the Lakeland Park - Lakeland Shore area. These are assessments against each piece of property and not a direct obligation of the city. After lengthy study, the Coun­ cil entered into an agreement with Telegraph Savings and Loan association of Chicago, for extension of present facilities to serve the Pheasant Valley ar­ ea. Telegraph will pay the entire project and will be reimbursed by waiving connection fees un­ til the expenditure is covered. Temporary lines and lift will (C ontinued on page 4) THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKE S REGION SINCE 1875 VOL. 91 - NUMBER 132 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21,1969 16 PAGES - TEN CENTS Indictments Returned By Grand Jury The grand jury of the Cir­ cuit court of the 19th judicial circuit returned the following indictments to Judge William M.

Twenty-five persons were rejected for various reasons, but even with this large number, the blood collected reached a new high for this community. The work was accomplished by the Michael Reese hospital mobile unit, which takes care of all details. Donation of this blood assures the families of these 148 donors that their blood needs in emergencies will be taken care of anywhere in the United States. The next visit of the unit will be next Spring. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Counterclaim In School, Transportation Dispute Hold The Press! -- So I Hear is a grandma -- no, no -- he's a grandpa, but it's a lit­ tle girl this time. The first call for news on Thursday morning was the proud sports editor, who prac­ tically beamed via the telephone wires to let us know. He wouldn't talk to just anybody-- it had to be a grandma, and he chose Grandma Yegge. Whatever happened to the parents? They're Jack and Di­ ane Rietesel Walsh, who have a stake in the little lady's future too. But who ever heard of fuss­ ing over mama and papa when everyone knows that grandmas and grandpas are the most im­ portant people in the world when the new baby arrives! A counterclaim has been filed in Circuit court by McHenry Consolidated School District 15 against Lawrence A. and Shirley Wickstrom, doing business as McHenry Transportation Co. The original complaint was filed on Oct. 1 by the company charg­ ing the school district with breach of contract. The counterclaim alleges the following: "The McHenry Transportation Co. breached the terms of said contract in that they: a--refused to pick up students at stops designated by the school-appointed direc­ tor of transportation; b--failed to make runs to pick up stu­ dents designated by the school; c--were late in making pick-up of students; d--failed to unload students at stops designated by the school; e--failed to provide the busses as designated in said transportation contract; f-- failed to provide busses that passed safety inspections; g-- failed to show the routes and directions determined by the school; h--changed busses and bus sizes without the approval of the school." The counterclaim also as­ serts that because of the Mc­ Henry Transportation com­ pany's failure to abide by the terms and conditions of the contract, the school district terminated that contract; also, the school district found it nec­ essary to borrow money to pur­ chase busses at a cost to the district of $3,311.59 because of the failure of the company to abide by the contract. The school district asks judg­ ment against McHenry Trans­ portation Co., in the sum of $3,311.59. A reply to the counterclaim was filed on Nov. 17 by the Wickstroms, asking that the counterclaim be dismissed.

Sorensen, 7605 Deep Con Con convention which will Johnson," DeK&lb, and Mrs. Con Con Preview Throughout State Some of the major problems and Issues that Constitutional Convention delegates will face when they convene Dec. 8 in Springfield for the historic meeting will be discussed and debated at six simultaneous conferences throughout Illinois on Nov. 21. Sponsored by the Illinois State Bar association, the objective of the conferences is to obtain a consensus of the views of Ill­ inois lawyers on Con Con is­ sues. All lawyers and all Con Con delegates are invited to attend the conferences and voice their opinions and rec­ ommendations. The recommendations ap­ proved at the conferences will be transmitted to the ISBA's special Con Con committee which will study them and report to the BBA board of govern­ ors. As a public service, the board then will study and de­ bate the proposals and make recommendations on specific matters for the information of the Con Con officers and del­ egates. The six conferences are to be held Friday, Nov. 21, at the following places, all beginning at 12:30 p.m. and ending at 4:30 p.m.: Augustine's restaur­ ant, Belleville; Sheraton Inn, Springfield; Holiday Inn, Cham­ paign; Sheraton-Rock Island Motor Inn, Rock Island; How­ ard Johnson's Motor Lodge, Rockford, and the Sheraton- O^are Motor Inn, Rosemont (Chicago area). Four major Con Con issues will be debated: 1-The Rev­ enue Article; 2-The Judicial Article; 3-The Legislative and Executive branches, and 4-Lo- cal Government and the Bill of Rights. Henry L. Pitts,Chicago,ISBA president, asserted in the Oc­ tober issue of the Illinois Bar The board of High School District 156, in session Tues­ day night, acted on recom­ mendations of the adminis­ tration toward teachers' griev­ ances presented some time ago. After a discussion period, the board voted to retain the old base of nine hours at $15 an hour to teachers seeking ad­ ditional credits for certifica­ tion. The faculty request had been for fifteen hours at $25 an hour. All courses must now be approved by the board be­ fore an expenditure is allowed. Prior to the vote, which was unanimous, Clint Claypool ex­ pressed reluctance to allow compensation for a new teacher to receive certification. He ad­ ded that he would favor such compensation to a veteran tea­ cher in cases where new reg­ ulations require additional study in special departments. However, his vote concurred with the board on retaining the original base. Approval followed new legal requirements which allow ninety days sick leave in nine years, or ten days a year. On another request for two days away from school to con­ duct personal business each year, the board turned down the petition and allowed one day, which has been the policy in effect. * The board discussed the forthcoming evaluation of the school system by the North Cen­ tral Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The cost was reported at between $3,000 and $5,000. A visiting committee of twen­ ty-five educators will visit the school, examining the philos­ ophies, objectives and opera­ tions. Other schools in the ar­ ea recently participated in the same program, a new phase of visitation which began in 1965 as an effort at more self-as­ sessment of accredited schools as well as quality versus quan­ tity evaluations. In addition to the visitation, the high school must submit annual quantitative reports de­ tailing such facts as qualifi­ cations of staff as well as courses offered, pupil and tea­ cher ratio, and number of li­ brary books available. A petition signed by some faculty members and students requested a discussion period in the near future regarding the Vietnam situation. The reason for the requests was because of pressures on students toward demonstrations. In other action, the Building committee was authorized to contract for painting of stair­ ways and walls at East cam­ pus, where remodelling has re­ sulted in a variety of hues in one area. Mrs. George Alvary, as a committee of one in the field Of public relations was request­ ed to schedule meetings be­ tween board members and ele­ mentary and parochial schools in order to explain procedures at the high school. It was announced that the 1969 senior class had donated shrub­ bery for the West campus and a tape reading machine for the library, at a total cost of $625. James Althoff, president, presented a suggestion which met with general approval. He asked that before speakers are employed to speak on contro- (Continued on page 4) Spring road, Wonder Lake, in­ dicted on two counts of burglary and theft. Bail was set at $1,000.

The juveniles reside in the Fox River Grove-Cary area. One was held in jail and the other, a parolee of the Illinois turned to that unit. In the four days, they stole a truck in Belvidere; two cars in Harvard; one car in Green Bay, Wis., and committed a tavern burglary in Walworth, Wis., and one house burglary in Green Bay. The truck was loaded with tools and driven to the home of relatives in Rockford, who became suspicious and notified the police.

Sun­ set drive, Wonder Lake, has been charged by sheriffs dep­ uties with driving while intox­ icated, leaving the scene of a personal injury accident and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident following a collis­ ion Tuesday afternoon at East Wonder Lake road andOakwood drive. Slightly injured were the driver, Mike Byard of Wood­ stock, Herta Reinhofer and Ron Whitney, both of Ramble road, Wonder Lake. Mike Whitney, also of Ramble road, Wonder Lake, was seriously hurt. The car is owned by John S. Markle of Woodstock, whose son, Mike, told authorities he had loaned the vehicle to Wil­ liams at 10:30 that morning. Whitney told the deputy that Williams was driving back and forth across the road "goof­ ing around". As he was head­ ed toward an oncoming car, Whitney said he grabbed the wheel and turned it hard to the right to avoid a crash. The auto went out of control and trav­ elled into a ditch, slid side­ ways in mud and water and then rolled over, landing upright on top of a guard rail and street sign, which were knocked down. Four hours later, at 7:10 p.m., Williams told authorities they were "driving around and began goofing around with the car and ran off the road." All left the car and ran away. Two of the passengers said Williams had been drinking. Michael G. Smutny of 8202 Gerson, Wonder Lake, struck a deer while driving west on Rt. 120 Monday afternoon. He told deputies he did not see the an­ imal, but felt the impact and his engine stopped. As he lost steering power and applied the brakes to slow on the shoulder of the road, the auto struck a post and rail on a cattle un­ derpass.

A layman will not represeqt his parish for more than two successive terms. The decision was based on a recommendation of the coun­ cil's Advisory committee, chaired by Fr. Leo Ambre of St. Thomas Parish, Crystal Lake. The council also approved the committee's recommenda­ tion that if a lay member, be­ cause of travel, illness or lack of interest, misses three suc­ cessive meetings, the Council of Administration may request (Continued on page 4) \ FIRE AT GARAGE A short caused a fire to start in the transformer of the elec­ trical circuit in the outside overhang section of the Over­ ton Cadillac-Pontiac garage, 1112 N.

PLAN REDEDICATION -- Pictured above, from left to right, are Erv Staveteig, Reva Peters and Robert Peterson, shown discussing the temple talks to be given at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry, during a special three-week stewardship emphasis at the parish. John Leighty and William Toal- sen will direct the musical spirit and each person present will help by his own enjoy­ ment and participation. Those who appreciate the op­ portunity to lift their voices with others, to enjoy the talents of other voices and musical talents, and realize the rela­ tionship of music to worship, are invited to join in "A Great Day of United Methodist Sing­ ing". Sunday, Nov. 23, has been designated as " Rededication Sunday" at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry, and will serve as the climax to a three-week stewardship emphasis in the parish. - Each week a special empha­ sis related to stewardship has been presented through temple talks given by laymen and ser­ mon topics offered by Rev. Roger Schneider. The temple talks offered by the laymen included a unique presentation entitled "God's Hour' , given by Robert Peter­ son. Reva Peters spoke on "The Correct use of One's Talents". Erv Staveteig will offer a spec­ ial presentation on "A Chris­ tian's Use of His Physical Re­ sources". A portion of Sunday's service has been set aside as a time when each member of the par­ ish will be invited to personally evaluate how he intends to use his time, talents and treasures for the work of the Lord in the year to come. The Rededication Sunday ser­ vices will be preceded by a twelve-hour prayer vigil on Sat­ urday, Nov. 22, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Members of the parish will participate in this very meaningful experience by spending one or more fifteen- minute periods in prayer at the church on that day. The entire stewardship em­ phasis at the parish is being coordinated by Stewardship Chairman James Boyer and his committee, including Paul Jessup, Erv Staveteig, Reva Peters, Dr. Jerry Lingeman, Art Matthies and Clarence Young. The stewardship committee is also being assisted by the evangelism committee includ­ ing Fran La me rand, chairman; Shirley Lamerand, Paul Jensen, Rose Jensen, VirginiaKarls and George Kammerer.
