REFERENDUM THOUGHTS "Dear Editor: "No one who ever tried to be a teacher could fail to note the lesson taught by McHenry's voters to its young people in last Saturday's tax referen­ dum. "What was it that turned a 5- to-1 September 'NO' into a 3-to- 2 March'YES'? Easier money, lower cost of living? (Oh, come now!) Less concern over rising taxes? (In March?) PR speeches and letters from board members, ad­ ministrators, and teachers? (Weren't all those working in the fall?) "Or did the tide begin to turn when the young people themselves, acknowledging the right of dissent for others (beautifully expressed in a student council letter to the "Pulse") went to work equally hard to line up support for their own cause? "How many 'No' votes turned to 'Yes' when sincere young people convinced their own families of their faith in their educational system, and asked for the help only their elders could give? "How many more churches, clubs, and civic groups responded with all-out support when urged by young members they knew to be worthy of it? "How many of September's indifferent non-voters were different in March because of publicity from fine young people who don't make other kinds of news? "How many older people, with limited incomes screaming No!, quietly voted a painful Yes, sincerely moved by student appeals? "What students taught voters between September and March was that they believed in what their schools were trying to do. What voters taught students was that when YOU work hard Ask Variation On Property For Storage A petition has been filed for hearing before the county zoning board of appeals, asking a variation of McHenry area property to permit use of storage facilities outside of the residence.

You begin to do a little figuring and find you can swing a car-if it's a used one. Even before you start "window shopping" in the used car lots the Illinois State Bar association suggests you bone up on some of the laws designed to protect you in this important purchase, (1) Illinois has an automobile warranty law which applies to new and used cars. This means if you find the car has a defect in the engine, transmission or p enough to convince others of what you believe in -- the system works, too. "Maurie Taylor" "PS. With so many older people joining forces with the young to put it all together, what do you suppose happened to that gap we hear so much about?" wheel, the dealer may have to pay part of the cost to have this repaired, if you report this within 30 days after the car is delivered to you. The amount of the repair cost which the dealer may be required to pay varies from 50 percent if the car is not more than four years old. Of course, this doesn't apply if the defect resulted from a collision you had or yo*. abused the car so that it caused the part to become defective. (2) If you buy a usfed car which the dealer offered to you "As Is," he has no liablility for any repairs you find you need after the sale. (3) The used car dealer may not employ any "deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, misrepresentation, or ... concealment" with the intent to deceive you. To do any of these things is a deceptive sales practice. (4) It is illegal for the seller of a used automobile to alter the mileage indicator to make it seem as if the car was previously driven fewer miles than it actually was. (5) If you finance the cost of your used car, the law offers you a certain amount of protection. There are limits on 'he amount of finance charge which the seller may add to the price of a car sold on credit. A used car which is two years old has a maximum finance charge of $11 per $100 of the loan per year. The price goes to $14 per $100 per year for a car from two to four years old and $16 per $100 per year for cars older than four years. Because the person pur­ chasing a used car must be very careful to try to get the best bargain he can for a car which is in reasonably good running condition, ISBA offers the following tips: a. Get the name of the car's previous owner and call him. He can tell you the car's ap­ proximate mileage at the time he traded it in, why he traded it and whether it had been in any accidents. b. Check the oil. If it is dirty, it indicates that the seller didn't even bother with a normal pre- sale conditioning. This means he probably missed other things too. c. Guard against the pur­ chase of. an ex-taxi, ex-police car or former fleet car. This type of car usually has been driven to6 hard and too far to make it a good buy. Look for holes drilled in the dashboard which might haye ac­ commodated a two-way radio in such a car. d. Have the car you intend to buy examined by mechanic whom you trust. He can give you a good appraisal of the car's condition and what it will cost to maintain. If you have done all these things, you should be able to wave from your car to cyour formpr bus-stop friends when next winter roll® around. Take Me One of John's best friends had died, so he called on the widow to express his sympathy. "Jim and I were friends," he said, 'Isn't there something I could have as a memento of him?" She raised her velvety brown eyes, which a few seconds before had been wet with tears. "How would I do?" she asked. juataooaeoeooooooocoeooooooooor OOOOOOOOQn PET CENTER GOT A pft For yoO- PETS THAT NEED A HOME OR ARE LOOKING FOR THEIR MASTER As a public service of the McHenry IMaindealer al l ads run under "Pets That Need A Home" are Free. f l ie unlj requirements are: The animals are to be given away to ^ood homes without charge or you are trying to find the owner of a pet that has strayed into your possession.
