Collection Of Glass Bottles Next Saturday Recyllng used containers in­ stead of tossing them into the nearest dump must become the new American way of life. Working toward this end are the McHenry County Defenders who are collecting used glass containers of all sorts on the first and third Saturdays of each month. The next collection will be Saturday, Feb. 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cry­ stal Lake Plaza, southeast cor­ ner of the parking lot. Volunteers will be there to accept glass at that time. Please make sure that your bot­ tles are delivered to a work­ er and not left unattended. There is just one collection point -the southeast corner of the parking area-and it will be manned continuously from 9 to 1. Gerald Droszcz, chairman of the last collection on Feb. 6, pointed out that the handling and processing of the glass is very time-consuming. The Def­ enders would appreciate it very much if all bottles and jars are reasonably clean and sep­ arated by color. Please re­ move the metal rings found on the necks of many soft drink and wine bottles. Broken or smashed glass is also accept­ able if it is all one color and sealed in clearly markedboxes.

PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1971 Montini Board Discusses Teaching Positions Locally Executive session minutes of the Jan. 13 Montini school board meeting approved at the Feb. 10 meeting revealed that two letters of resignation were accepted by the board. Mrs. Ann Kiggins submitted a letter of resignation effective the end of January, 1971. Mrs. Dorothy ,, Boynton was employed to fill the vacancy. Also Sister Laclare, who has been prin­ cipal of the Middle school this past year, resigned her position as principal. However, Sister stated that she will make ap­ plication for a teaching position in the Primary school and will remain in the school system. Both resignations were ac­ cepted with regret by the board. Father Lawrence Urbaniak announced that since his term as administrator expires in June, the board must seek applications to fill his position as well as a principal for the Middle school. After some discussion, the board decided to try to find one person to fill both positions. Following the January > meeting, letters were sent to various orders of nuns, notifying them of teaching positions in Montini school. Letters were also sent to School Sisters of St. Francis and Sisters of Mercy Orders who are presently serving the Catholic schools in Michigan. Due to a recent ruling in Michigan concerning state aid to schools, there is a possibility that many of the Catholic schools there will be closing at the end of this year. The letters contained information about the Montini Catholic school system and urged the Orders to consider sending nuns to this school in the event it is necessary to reassign per­ sonnel. One reply has been received to date. This Order stated that matters are so indefinite in Michigan now that it would be impossible to make definite plans of any kind. At this time they do not have any Sisters available for Montini school. Sister Laclare, principal of the Middle school, reported that she had contacted Sister Mary Ann, coordinator of the Review board for the Sisters of St. Francis to inquire about the possibility of securing more teaching nuns for this school system. She said Montini is eligible to receive one more nun. Sister Paulina, principal of the Primary school, told Jhe board that she too is tryirig to obtain more nuns from the Sisters of Mercy Order but due to the present shortage, it is quite difficult to get them. \ The board was informed that four applications have been received from lay teachers seeking a position in the school. Very shortly, more will be sent out to various schools and agencies notifying them of positions open. Sister Laclare requested that she be allowed to work with the Education committee in their negotiations for employing teachers. She wishes to present some recommendations concerning next year's operation. Her request was granted by the board. The board was notified that eighth grade graduation will be held Friday, June 4. Board members endorsed Sister Laclare's suggestion that two local parishes should alternate in hosting the annual ceremonies. In regard to other graduation matters, letters will be sent to seventh grade mothers to$e« if they would again like to sponsor a graduation breakfast for the eighth graders. This tradition has been carried on in both schools for a number of years. It was also brought to the attention of the board that the administrator of the school, as well as board members, should participate in graduation ceremonies. Further details will be worked out later. Sister Laclare was authorized to look into costs and details of holding a sports banquet and will report her findings to the board at their next meeting. Previously this banquet had been run as a pot-luck function. However, due to the increased size of the school, members decided to seek other methods. Father Urbaniak presented a current financial report on the school system. He reported that some money had been received for past due tuition and book bills. However, as of Jan. 31, there is still $2,395.50 out­ standing on tuition and $795.65 due on book bills. In regard to the problem of refundable milk money which has not been picked up by parents, the board was told a notice had been sent home with each child informing the parents that if the money was not obtained by Jan. 31,- the administration would assume that the money was to be donated to the school. Several parents called to donate their refunds, which amounted to $75.45. The money remaining in the fund and presumed to be donated to the school amounted to $641.66. This amount will be put into the general fund and used where needed. Board Member Ted Pitzen related to members that he had contacted a number of organizations in both St. Mary's and St. Patrick's parishes to seek donations for the new basketball uniforms purchased this year. To date, he has received donations amounting to $110 from the Men's Catholic Order of Foresters and the Ladies' National Catholic Society of Foresters Following his report the board voted to pay the uniform bill, which amounted to $371. The board agreed to follow past procedures and granted the request of the men Foresters allowing them use of the old basketball uniforms for their annual tournament. It was noted that the uniforms have always been returned in very good condition. Father Urbaniak noted that the present enrollment of Montini is 715 students. He stated there is a capacity for 105 pupils per grade. He urged members to find ways to in­ form the public of the splendid educational facilities available at the school. Discussion was held on various ideas. Williard Pierce who was acting president in the absence of John Coughlin, appointed Dr. Gregory Eckstein chairman of a committee to the proposal and submit his report at a later meeting. Fr. Edmund Petit suggested that a calendar be drawn up setting target dates for such matters as board member elections, hiring of teachers, submitting a tentative budget, etc. The board approved his suggestion and set the March meeting for approval of a final salary schedule and a tentative budget; the April meeting for hiring of teachers; and the May meeting for possible approval of the 1971-72 budget. The various committees were urged to begin drafting their salary schedules and proposed budgets immediately. Acting President Pierce read a communication from Fr. Thomas Brady, director of Education for the Rockford diocesan board of education, in which he outlined diocesan policies for the coming school year. A letter was also read from Fr. Eugene Baumhofer, who was out of town and unable to attend the meeting. He submitted a list of questions he felt should be used when in­ terviewing prospective lay teachers to determine their religious convictions before te&'cffing in the Catholic school system. After much discussion, the board directed the ad­ ministrator and the principals to interview teacher applicants and if they wish additional help, they should contact Fr. John Cahill, assistant pastor at St. Patrick's church. Fr. Cahill is Director of Religious Education for the McHenry deanery and would be qualified to give assistance. Dr. Eckstein told board members that he had recently attended a meeting at which Sheriff Art Tyrrell gave a talk on drugs and children. He described it as a very in­ teresting and impressive presentation. Dr. Eckstein suggested that someone con­ tact the sheriff and ask him to present this program at Montini school. The Happy People In Town Are Those Who Read the McHENRY PLAINDEALER... T) he HJottp Clinic Lon's questions involve a fascinating law of Psychology. Anybody who moves ahead of his colleagues by greater diligence or skill, suffers from the same smear campaign that Jesus received in his home town! This holds true in athletics as well as in jour­ nalism, and all the other professions. Inferior people then gleefully resort to that "ad h o m i n e m " f a l l a c y ! By-George W.Crane,Ph. D., M.D. CASE L-543: Lon G., aged 22, is a seminary student. "Dr. Crane" he asked, "why do so many seminary professors, as well as pulpit clergymen, deride the television pastors? "We students thus hear many veiled barbs that are directed against Bishop Sheen and Dr. Peale, as well as Oral Roberts, Billy Graham and other famous church orators. "Yet it seems to me that clergymen should be the greatest rooters for those members of their profession who are such super speakers." speakers." MUDSLINGERS Your worst critics are usually those in your own profession! Jesus explained this same paradox when he said: "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house For when Christ returned to his home town and started expounding his unique ethical ideas, his neighbors said (Matthew 13:54-56): "Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? "And his sisters, are they not all with us?" This attempt to depreciate Christ's miracles and teachings by stressing his humble origin, is an example of the "ad hominem" fallacy in logic. That fallacy refers to any mud slinging or smearing of a man's political and scientific superiority by whispering campaigns about his family or the fact he might have been divorced or father of a delinquent child, or of an alien race or religion. By such diversionary at­ tacks, your foes try to arouse emotional hostility and thus by­ pass your superb logic and other accomplishments. And you can easily see why a man's own colleagues resent him if he spends the extra study or long hours to get ahead of the average of his group. For this reflects adversely on his peers! They may have graduated from the same seminary or professional school, and thus may have had the same preparation. "So why aren't you a famous pulpiteer or radio and TV pastor?" is the implied criticism of these mediocre clerics. This suggests they must either be lazy or else are not as brilliant, and neither of those categories is flattering. "I want to feel important" is the tattoo across everybody's chest, and the mediocre classmates or colleagues thus are deflated in ego. In such cases, there are two alternatives. First, the mediocre colleagues can work doubly hard until they also gain the national reputations of Dr. Peale, Bishop Sheen et al. (But this is slow, laborious and fraught with tension). The other, and quicker method, is to try to reduce those superior colleagues to the level of the critics by back stabbing and ad hominem emotional attacks. In public, however, the usual clergyman may not dare openly attack Dr. Peale, Bishop Sheen and the other great pulpiteers, so he resorts to the device of damning a man by faint praise, as some have said to me: "Bishop Sheen and Dr. Peale are verging on sen­ sationalism!" Even a newspaper editor's worst foes are usually other editors! And my own worst critics are stodgy professors of psychology who also accuse me of sensationalizing psychology „ and reducing the dignity of science by my use of 2-syllable words. Send for my booklet on "The New Psychology of Advertising and Selling," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, and you will see why I employ 2-syllable words! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en­ closing a long stamped, ad­ dressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when youtsend for one of his booklets.) Woo/ Incentive, Mohair Support Prices Announced The incentive price for shorn wool has been set at 72 cents a pound for the 1971 marketing year, according to Joe Getty, chairman of the McHenry C o u n t y A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. The support price for mohair will be 80.2 cents per pound, he said. Both figures are un­ changed from the 1970 levels. The price of pulled wool will be supported at a level com­ parable to the incentive price for shorn wool through payments on unshorn lambs. Mr. Getty said the Agricultural Act of 1970 ex­ tended authority for the wool and mohair price-support program through Dec. 31, 1973. The new legislation amends the National Wool Act by requiring that support prices shall be at the announced levels for each of the three marketing years through the end of 1973. The chairman reminded producers that shorn wool payments will be based on each producers' return from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers from shorn wool up to the announced incentive price of 72 cents a pound. Mohair payments will be calculated in a manner similar to wool. Mr. Getty said payments to producers on 1971 calendar year marketings will be made beginning in April, 1972.
