Robert Blair said a study prepared by his staff assistant on education shows that general state aid to education in the 1969-71 period increased by 78.7 percent over the previous two-year period. When comparing the 1969-71 period with the 1967-69 period, McHenry county's ADA (average daily attendance) increased 13 percent while state aid reimbursement in­ creased 104 percent of $6,007,673.35. Blair said general state aid claims during 1969-71 totaled $1,255,040,000 compared with $702,187,000 in the 1967-69 period. The increase totaled $552,854,000. In addition*, the categorical aids which include Special Education, Transportation, Driver Education, School Lunch, Gifted Programs, Adult Education and Vocational Education increased 64 percent over the same period. The total of these claims increased from $107,430,000 to $175,982,000, or $68,562,000. "The study in general reveals the substantial effort that has been made by the state in school support," Blair said. "The increase in the state's contribution was made possible by the increase in revenue produced by the state income tax." "Legislators and the Governor have been criticized in the past for permitting a new tax," he said. However, this study shows conclusively that school districts throughout the state are benefitting from it." According to the study, state aid to education was increased significantly in every one of the state's 102 counties, despite the fact that in some cases the average daily attendance on which the aid is based, in­ creased only slightly and in some cases decreased. In 1967-69 period, the state's contribution was based on a level of $400 per pupil while the level in the 1969-71 period was raised to $520 per pupil. A further increase was made in the 1969-71 period with the weighting of the attendance of high school pupils by the factor of 1.25. There were two other reasons for general increases, Blair said In 1970 there was an overall increase of 8 percent in the formula and an "urban bonus" also was added for 1970- 71 which amounted to a state contribution of $28 million state-wide for districts over 10,000 in enrollment. Education makes crooks more clever, as well as honest people more efficient. The American Red Cross is offering a review course for water safety instructors at Jefferson high school, 2525 Ohio Parkway, Rockford, beginning Thursday, April 22.

Ogilvie in a special health • message to the General Assembly. The program in­ cludes plans for pre-paid health maintenance organizations, comprehensive planning and financial aid for health facilities, means of.establishing controls over costs, and special programs for nursing homes, blood supplies and a state-wide network of trauma centers. The governor would encourage formation of more local HMOs ( H e a l t h M a i n t e n a n c e Organizations), channeling of Public Aid expenditures for medical care to HMOs and other community health ser­ vices^ allocating of capital funds to HMOs by the public health department, and have the state contract with private and public facilities to provide prepaid "total health care" for all state employes PRESENT CONCERT The Fifth Army band from Fort Sheridan will present a concert at Marian Central high school at 9:45 a.m. April 22. Seventh and eighth graders from area parochial schools are invited to attend. 5V2 thousand of the 38 thousand people killed in auto wrecks last year were driving on the wrong side of the road. by Anne Ashley Q. How can I remove water spots from a shellacked sur­ face? A. By going over these spots lightly and carefully with fine sandpaper or steel wool. It may of course be necessary to remove the shellac down to the wood and, if so, apply several thin coats of fresh shellac. Q. How can I . renew rancid butter? A. Break the butter up and put it into some fresh milk. Allow the butter to absorb the milk, then wash in cold, salted water and work' again into the desired form. Q. How can I treat my nylons to help prevent runs and to add elasticity to the hose? A. Try adding a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse water when washing these items. Q. How can I deal with hardened paint spatters on window glass? A. Hot vinegar usually works faster and more efficiently than scraping with a razor blade. Q. How can I make a neater and more effective job of darning? A. Try putting a piece of net on the underside of the garment to be darned, and then darn from the wrong side, weaving in and out of the net. Gives you a real neat and strong repair job. Q. What is wrong when a faucet begins to drip again, soon after having inserted a new washer? A. Chances are that the seat against which the washer is pressing has become damaged and needs regrinding or replacing. There are special tools and kits for this purpose available at hardware stores and plumbing supply houses. Q. How can I mix a good sachet powder for my bureau drawers and linen closet? A. One very good formula calls for a half-ounce of lavender flowers and a half- teaspoon of powdered cloves. Q. How can I make use of several bottles, each containing just a drop or two of perfume? Q. Try adding a few drops of inexpensive baby oil to this left­ over perfume. This will give you a nice bath oil that will induce a softness and frangrance into your skin. Q. How can I encourage buttons to stay on longer? A. By coating the center with some colorless nailpolish. This seals the threads. Q. How can I prolong the life and beauty of cut flowers? A. By giving them a going- over with some of your hair- spray. Q. What is an effective method of applying oil stains or water stains to raw wood? A. Try using a cellulose sponge instead of a brush. This will require less dipping and it will be easier to regulate the amount being applied. Also, the square edges of the sponge will help when working into corners or along edges. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Jogers Sell Bakery Shop * Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jager have sold their business, the Riverside Bake shop, to Mr. and Mrs. Steve Reisnger of Hoffman Estates, who took over management Tuesday of this week.
