PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this col­ umn as an expression of their views on subjects of general Interest in our community. Our only re­ quest is that writers lim­ it themselves to 300 words or less - signature, full address and phone num­ ber. We ask too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We re­ serve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or inob- jectional taste.) "Dear Editor: "Last Saturday night we droppped in to the East Campus gym, and saw something which seemed to me very meaningful and very honest. It was, of course, the volleyball marathon to arouse interest in the upcoming high school referendum. "All I had known of this was that a couple of kids had dreamed up the idea of the marathon, and that the Student Council had hurriedly picked up the ball and carried through with the myriad of details with faculty, school board, publicity, scheduling, etc., to make the marathon possible. "It was a highly emotional thing--seeing dozens and dozens of high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors playing their hearts out all Friday evening, and all Friday night; all day Saturday and all night Saturday; and then played and ate and slept there for those many hours for but one thing--to hope that they would arouse enough interest that the voting public would allow them to have athletics and music and all those extra­ curricular activities next year and the next year. They cannot bear to look to their years ahead in McHenry high with no teams to cheer for or no band to lead them, no concerts-in fact, only the day to day monotony of books. "Most of us who are long out of school enjoyed these extra­ curricular activities which 'made* the school. I haven't the heart to deny this to these great kids, who would not only go through this gruelling marathon for a just cause, but who will be better citizens for it. Let's dig a little deeper, and not take it out on these children. "A Senior Citizen, "H.P. Owen, "McHenry" THE REFERENDUM "Dear Sir: "As a student and a con­ cerned young citizen, I am distressed about the prospects of the upcoming tax referen­ dum. Too few parents are aware of the seriousness of the situation, while others are just plain apathetic. "The students are desperate. We have been privileged to participate in a fine education, and we hate to see it all lost. Flexible modular scheduling, musical programs, art classes, football, basketball, swim­ ming, track, Student Council and yearbook would all be discontinued if the referendum doesn't pass. "The volleyball marathon was a total student effort to make the community more involved in the issue. We are pleading with everyone-- please vote yes on March 20. Save our Schools! "Respectfully yours, "Terry Beno" Ringwood News "Save Our Schools" Plea /Moose Secretary At Administration School March 20-21 Raymond T.

It is always an enriching experience for children and adults alike to remember the senior citizens in this manner. Everyone is ready to make another visit again soon.

Richard B. Ogilvie. Savings of more than $200,000 on gasoline purchases and savings on repairs are also anticipated. About 600 cars will be pur­ chased and first bids will be taken in April. The Legislative and Health and Agriculture committee of the board of supervisors released the following com­ ment, as part of a longer statement, at a recent meeting. "The proper committee of the board will make these ap­ pointments (trustees to govern a Conservation district), if necessary, (if the Conservation district referendum should succeed), and will give con­ sideration to anyone whose name is placed before it who has had conservation ex­ perience, whether it be in the field of park land, farm land or water pollution work." The referendum to vote on the creation of a Conservation district for McHenry county will be held on April 6 at the township elections. According to Conservation district law, the affairs of such a district would be managed by a board of five trustees who are residents of that county. These men may not hold any other public office and cannot be officers of any political party. They would also be selected on the basis of their demonstrated interest in the purpose of conservation districts. The chairman of the county board of supervisors, with the consent of the county board, appoints the trustees, each to serve a five-year term. A trustee who has served a full term of five years is ineligible to serve as a trustee for a period of one year following the expiration of his term. A trustee may be removed for cause by the chairman of the county board of supervisors with the approval of the county board. Trustees serve without compensation, but may be paid their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties. The law further states that a Conservation district board must annually make a full and complete report to the county board of supervisors and to the State Conservation department of its transactions and operations for the preceding College Will Host Speaker On Communist China The Political Science department at McHenry County college, 6200 Northwest highway, Crystal Lake, will host Dr. Paul Welty, professor of Political Science at Nor­ theastern Illinois State college, Chicago, Tuesday afternoon, March 23 at 12:30, in Room A- 130.

The same Conservation district board also must seek the guidance of, and consult with the State Conservation department on all matters relating to conservation and recreation policies and plans, and all proposals and plans to purchase real property. In developing and carrying out its plans, the Conservation district board must also con­ sider the preservation of natural conditions and protection of flora and fauna as part of its principal purpose and to the end shall set aside a substantial portion of its land to remain in an essentially un­ disturbed condition.
