College Fire Damage Exceeds '50,000 (Continued from page 1) walls in the large room were badly damaged. The fire started in the rear section. There was no estimate of damage made. Smoke damage was reported to nearby Lendzion Leathers. Co. 1 answered the call and members of Co. Ill stood by in case of emergency. A disastrous fire was nar­ rowly averted by the speed and efficiency of the McHenry Township Fire department late Monday morning at Ed's Stan­ dard Service at the intersec­ tion of Front and Elm streets. Workers were installing new gas pumps and believed all e- lectricity to be shut off. How­ ever, one live wire shorted, causing a burst of flames which threatened the truck nearby. The fire continued into the un­ derground pipe which had pro­ tection of three safety valves to the main source of gasoljne. After firemen brought the flames under control, the men were able to move the truck, which had little damage. Fire Chief Glenn Peterson estimated a possible loss of about $350 on the old pump.

(Continued from page 1) working people are of a cer­ tain caliber and that the chil­ dren of their employees will have a college within driving range each day. 4. For local businessmen, the college has a favorable im­ pact, generating business within the county and keeping the stu­ dent enrollment (now over 1,600) spending money here instead of possibly away at an­ other school. 5. For industries, the edu­ cational and technical instruc­ tion of the college provides training to improve the skills of employees. Many college stu­ dents want to work while in college-even on a part-time basis--and in the labor-short market that looms, this could be a valuable labor pool to tap as needed. 6. For agriculture, the col­ lege provides specialized cour­ ses in how to farm and in hor­ ticulture and agriculture chem­ icals. This benefits both far­ mers and young people wish­ ing to enter some form of ag­ riculture as a career. "If our county is to keep pace with the rest of the state, approval of the referendum is important to a future filled with opportunity, a sense of achieve­ ment and development of our people--one of our real assets," summarized Taylor. Musin' N Meanderin' (Continued from page 1) aspiring candidates, will come forth to serve for the three- year terms ahead. As one thoughtful citizen ob­ served: "If you aren't willing to take your time to make a con­ tribution, don't complain." We'll miss Officer Harold Hobbs on the Green and Elm corner, assisting heavy morn­ ing traffic. The retired officer and former chief had that rare combination of qualities which made an ideal policeman. There was a big, friendly smile when you were right, and there was a deep scowl to shrink the might­ iest when you did wrong. We remember an occasional teacher in the same way, and it was effective. Resolution As the thermometer dipped to tti.. 7ero mark last Friday, we arrived at our desk to find a letter from former Lakemoor correspondent, Shirley Schu- err, carrying with it clippings on hourly temperatures in Pho- nix and the valley, the location of their new home. They ranged from a low of 50 to a high of 86. The nearest bus leaves any time now! As Co-worker Marie Yegge tried diplomatically to cut through a beautifully decorated birthday cake, baked in her honor by none other than one Barbara Gilpin, the sharp knife experienced difficulty in travel­ ling farther than the light frost­ ing. After several attempts, Marie gave up in despair, some­ what embarrassed until the en­ tire cake yielded and arose from the plate with the knife still firmly stuck inside. With an office force extremely diet-conscious, snmeone-quip ped: "How many calories in styrofoam and foam rubber?" And so it was, just that kind of cake. KAF (Continued from page 1) porary building in the move from an interim campus to col­ lege might also be eligible for state financing. Smith was described as en­ thusiastic about the idea of an interim campus concept as pre­ sented by Mochon and Dr. Eth- eredge. Mochon commented, "This idea is now and has nev­ er before been used in the state of Illinois." Dr. Etheredge said there might be a scheduling prob­ lem since the state boards meet in April and the local board would like to start on the build­ ing soon. However, he said he would make a brief presenta- McHenry Locks Crew Recover 400Pound Safe (Continued from page 1) Henry Aissen, Hal Moltrum and Steve Marczenia, lockten- ders, working off ladders and a boat which was pushed across the ice to open Water, made the recovery by getting a line to a tow truck on top of the bridge, where the safe was tak­ en from the watery hiding place along with the front and dash board of an automobile. Both items had been dumped into the waterway from atop the bridge and were spotted by the inspec­ tion teams from early last Oc­ tober. Inspection of the safe showed that it had been blown. Dragging continued for the safe door. The crew was able to hook onto it but due to the extreme cold and sharp wind they were unable to bring it to the surface for the second time. This same crew will re­ turn to the same point of op­ eration on the twenty-fourth to recover the blown door, which is felt will give information as to ownership. Mr. Gullang stated that dur­ ing the salvage operation a sheriffs deputy from the Lake County sheriff's office was on hand to observe and keep traf­ fic flowing across the bridge. Mr. Gullang also stated that as of the moment they had no idea where the safe came from. He hopes that the safe door will give more information as to the owner and the manufactur­ er of the safe. He further stated that both items could inflict heavy damage to larger water- craft, and it is the duty of his office to keep the waterways* clear of all navigational haz­ ards both in the Chain O' Lakes and the Fox river from Pista- kee Bay to Algonquin. He asks that everyone cooperate by not allowing trees, tires, piers and other debris, along with empty beer cans and garbage, to be placed into the water as a fin­ al hiding place. He is writing to the various boat companies in and along the waterways to the effect that at the locks (bus­ iest in the world) he will have placed along the shore line and in the locks sufficient cans whereby garbage can be depos­ ited for removal along withoth- er debris the boater wishes to dispose of. Two Educators Visit U.S. Air Force Academy (Continued from page 1) included such outstanding fea­ tures as the cadet academic complex, the modern classroom facilities, the library, athletic field house, visitors center anc museum, and the famous cadet chapel. Purpose of the orientation program is to provide academ­ icians with the necessary back­ ground knowledge in order to counsel prospective cadet can­ didates as to the Air Force academny*s mission and its ac­ ademic, military, airmanship and athletic programs. These programs are designed to train young men for leadership as officers in the United States Air Force. tion of the master plan and how the site would be used to the I.S.J.C.B. Mochon then presented a more detailed floor plan of the pro­ posed college building as des­ cribed at a previous meeting. The architect described a promenade or deck around the entire building and said; "Be­ cause of the extraordinary view that is present at this location, the building is built to use it to its fullest advantage. Because of its simplicity and its hon­ esty, we feel it will be as pleas­ ing and functional in fifty years as it is now." He added that he knows of no other concept like this in the state. Mochon said space has been allowed for future additions such as a swimming pool off the physical education build­ ing and space for a two-story academic addition. Member - Donald Truckenbrod of McHen­ ry moved that the board approve the one-building concept, which met with unanimous approval. Mrs. Joan Hill, another mem­ ber, said she thought this was an opportune time for each board member to reaffirm sup­ port of the bond issue. Each expressed his individual feeling on the referendum and vowed efforts toward a victory at the polls March 7. At the conclusion of the meet­ ing, Richard Taylor, board mem­ ber, showed a newspaper clip­ ping which quoted the Univer­ sity of Illinois as forced to turn away 1,800 students in September of 1970, adding that v •• •r %£ • M AFTERMATH OF BLAZE -- The landscape for many miles is visible which once was withheld from view by the large barn on the Ronald Jeschke property, 724 N.
