Adopt Ordinance On Sewer System (Continued from page 1) be constructed at Telegraph's cost with no obligation on the part of the city. Upon recommendation of the purchasing committee, the low bid of Hester Oil Co. to furnish gasoline to the city was accept­ ed. The bid price on regular grade gas is 17 cents per gal­ lon, premium grade to be 19 cents. The city is obliged to pay 7.5 cents per gallon to the State of Illinois' under Motor Fuel Tax law. The city is ex­ empt from paying federal tax and state sales tax. At the request of the City Clerk, and approval by the May­ or, the Council agreed to pay city bills twice each month in­ stead of only at the first meet- in of the month. With the growth of the city, it was explained that the number of bills each month and the detail work in­ volved in charging out amounts to various accounts, preparing vouchers and checks with prop­ er signatures and countersig­ natures, and entering the dis- Act On Teacher Grievances (Continued from page 1) versial subjects before the stu­ dent body, they are first heard by either a board member or administrator. Mr. Althoff informed the members that since the first of this school year, a total of $247,000 in salaries had been paid out in District 156. Two bids were let, one to Allied Equipment for four draft­ ing tables, at $62 per unit, and another to Paxton Equipment for four drafting machines, at $56.85. The board approved purchase of a citizens band radio for the transportation director's car, the expense to be shared with District 15. Two negative votes were cast by Lloyd Freund and Clint Claypool. There was unanimous ap­ proval to raising the mileage allowance for travelling ex­ penses from seven cents per mile to nine cents. High school principals an­ nounced that report cards, now being completed by computer in Chicago, will be sent home next Monday, Nov. 24. A'final report cm the Title I summer program conducted by Russ Cooper, faculty member, was presented in detail to the board. It included an evaluation questtomHMta? te»wMeh partici­ pating students gave their re­ actions to the project. Mr. Cooper concluded with the observation that the pro­ gram was extremely successful in all but one objective, the study of local government. He . said this was impossible be­ cause of the remodelling pro­ gram carried on at the city hall. He felt the assessment by the students themselves gave "more than adequate valida­ tion for a repeat of the same type of program in the future." Lengthy discussions of two other important subjects will be dealt with in future issues. They were the Special Education Dis­ trict of McHenry County and its . future plans, and a summary of the evaluation of the flex­ ible modular system in the high school following a survey conducted last summer. END bursements in the records can best be handled by spreading the work over more time. It was also explained that when the meeting falls on the first three or four days of the month many bills have not been received and had to be held over for a month. A petition from property own­ ers on Crystal Lake road for extension of sewer service from Lillian street to Wood street is being given attention. Ap­ proval from the State of Illinois Sanitary Water board has been received. Property owners will now deposit contraction cost in an escrow account and a con­ tract awarded by the city. This will require 100 percent partic­ ipation on the part of property owners to be served, but will be much less costly than a spec­ ial assessment to cover such a small area. Set Rules For Marian Council (Continued from page 1) his pastor to appoint a new member in his place. A revised budget for the 1969- 70 school year, calling for a total expenditure of $325,000, was approved. The originally proposed budget called for $317,454, but a revision was made necessary by the addi­ tion of another lay faculty mem­ ber and the enrollment being a little less than anticipated when the budget was prepared. Rev. Philip L. Kennedy, prin­ cipal, reported on a meeting of the Illinois Association of Cath­ olic Secondary Schools, and the report led to a discussion of possible future state aid to par­ ochial schools. The Council also learned that Sister Mary Catherine of Mar­ quette university had completed a partial evaluation of Marian's program. Father Kennedy sug­ gested that Council members visit the school and see the pro­ gram in action. Plans were made for the Council to hold a luncheon meeting Dec. 2 at the school with Council mem­ bers visiting classrooms be­ forehand. This will take place of the meeting originally sched­ uled for that night. Musin1 N Meanderin' (Continued from page 1) twenty-five members, then the per diem method and mileage method of payment of salary would be considered. Should the smaller board of nine to thir­ teen be«the choice, a full time salary fit at least $12,QQg would be gives thought, according to the Legislative committee. Committee work on a new map will need to begin when the 1970 census figures are com­ plete, which will not be until September or October. Even then, the map cannot be under­ taken without a decision as to board membership. A meeting in the near future will probably include talks by supervisors who will present cases for both the larger and the smaller board so that mem­ bers may obtain a good picture of the choices offered. There are two options for naming a chairman, one stat­ ing that he will run at-large in all the districts, the other that he be elected by board members after the election. Early predictions are that the present method of selecting the chairman from the entire board will be favored.

PG.4 -PLAINDEALER FRI< NOV. 21,1969 For And About Teenagers THE WEEK'S LETTER: "I . am 15 years old and my par­ ents won't let me date. One of my girlfriends, who Is older, got into trouble and my par­ ents, I guess, think that I would f: into trouble, too. I won't am old enough to know better. I can't seem to talk to my mother about boys. I like a boy very much , but she doesn't know it. I hope to talk to her before school starts. At what age do you think a girl should start dating? And, should I talk to my mother now?" OUR REPLY: You should ta lk to your mother . You should also be prepared to ac­ cept her dekision and abide her wishes on the matter of dating. Mother knows best It is not her aim to deny you the right to have "fun"; it is her duty to prepare you for a re­ sponsible and a happy role in life. It is to your benefit to talk things over with your mother, always, just as it will profit you to accept her judgements and her decisions. Your mother will not always tell you what you want to hear, she will tell you what is best for you. There is no "right" age for a girl to start dating. Nor is there any age that guarantees a girl is old enough to "know better" and is therefore not likely to "get into trouble." Age is no factor. Training, character and maturity are important here. noqc | MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, WOODSTOCK Mr. and Mrs. Jack Walsh are rejoicing over the birth of a daughter on Nov. 19 at Mem­ orial hospital. The little miss who weighed 8 lbs., 12 oz., has a brother, Brendan, 2 years old, for a playmate. Sports Ed­ itor and Mrs. Earl Walsh are beaming over their new grand­ daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Rietesel are the maternal grandparents. Paternal great- grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Freund and Mrs. Gerald Newman is the baby's mater­ nal great-grandmother. The new mother is the former Di­ ane Rietesel. .ast week Tuesday was Vet- rans Day. Did you go to the McHenry park? If you were there you would have seen many Girl Scouts of all age groups, both in and out of uniform. They did not go in troops with their leaders, but went in families as American girls honoring the servicemen of our country. Troop 418 Brownies made gifts and mailed them to the Veterans hospital in Chicago. A small gesture, perhaps, but every little bit helps. Junior Troop 436 had a Hal­ loween party and invited Brownie Troop 441 as their guests. This Brownie troop will have their investiture Nov. 18. By the way, have you ever tasted kosarkak? It's a Hun­ garian recipe-little pastry bas­ kets with assorted fillings. I like the chocolate nut filling the best. This and a lot of other interesting treats will be sold' at the international bake sale at the firehouse in E. Wonder Lake on Dec. 7 be­ tween the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Don't forget to come out and taste something different.

For my age, I act very mature, where my friend is Just the opposite. When she comes to visit me, she acts very silly, like a 10- year-old. This friend is also shapeless. She has no figure at all. When I walk down the corridors in school I am some­ times ashamed to be with her. The boys 1 know laugh at her. She has no taste at all in clothes, while I do, can't use makeup, as I can, and her mother "babies" her. I know she is really a good kid on the inside. Give me a suggestion to help her." OUR REPLY: She may not really need any help. It is pos­ sible that you are tne one who is acting older than your age . . . ana being much too ser ious about some th ings . Your fr iend appears to be happy and well-adjusted. We think it is alright for a 15 year old to act a little "silly" now and then if this silliness involves laughter and merri­ ment There's plenty of time later to become serious about the serious things of life. As for your friend's personal ap­ pearance, please take note of the fact that some of the most beautiful flowers of all are late blooming. Don't try, to change your friend or expect her to be just like you. She is an individual and you didn't choose her for a friend with the idea of changing her, did you? " I babysit near where this cute boy lives. I like him and I know he likes me very much. He came to the house where 1 was babysitting. I was really surprised when he told me his feelings about me. But, because he came to the house, I think his mother got some ideas. I don't go to this house any more, but whenever I see him he never says hello or any­ thing. What should I do?" OUR REPLY: It's a pretty good bet that the boy's mother really read him the riot act for going to the house where you were babysitting. And also that you don't babysit for these people anymore because they also know that he came to the house. This is where vou both went wrong. He should not have come to the house where you were babys i t t ing . When you take a babysitting assign­ ment you are taking on an adult responsibility. Boy­ friends, phone calls and other d i s trac t ions v io la te the t rus t that parents place in you when they l eave the ir ch i ldren to your care. You should have told him that you were happy to see him, yet should have asked him not to come into the house whi le you were taking care of children.
