PAGE 14-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1971 demonstrations, he said with conviction, "I am against them * and would deal with them severely". Dr. Davis then outlined the three purposes of a junior \ college: 1 - Vocational- technical training; 2 - Transfer program for those Students who would not otherwise be able to attend a four-year school; and 3 - Community services such as adult education and cultural programs (concerts, plays, etc.)" In conclusion, Dr. Davis said he feels the McHenry C«unty college has great promise. "I think I can do some things that Dr. Etheredge, who is a good friend of mine, couldn't do and he did some things that I couldn't have done. The school has a great staff and the students here, those I have met - I have been very impressed with". MOVE FORWARD TO DEVELOP WHISPERING OAKS PARK AREA (Continued from page 1) Lakeland Park were also sought. The city has installed fifty-six lights since the area was annexed, but more will undoubtedly be added. It was agreed to purchase a 1965 Ford pickup truck at a cost of $450 which will be used to haul mowers and light equipment from place to place. It may also be used to haul sand and salt to icy crosswalks in winter. Use of the small truck will correct the problem of having"to take one of the large trucks from other projects. With water mains being constructed along Industrial drive bv property owners, the Council agreed to installation of a hydrant at 111. Rt. 120. To sum up other action, it was agreed to amend the code to increase the city attorney's retainer from $800 per year to $1,000. Authorization was given to pay Pay ton Chevrolet, Inc.; for new police department car upon satisfactory delivery. The mayor was authorized to sign renewal contract with the Harco corp., for inspection and servicing the water tower in Cooney Heights. The annual fee is $365. Approval was given to the selection of judges of election. In executive session, a salary schedule proposed by the Finance committee was discussed. Then, back to open meeting and adjournment. ARREST ELK GROVE MAN ON CONDUCT CHARGE (Continued from page 1) A telephone operator relayed the call for help. When deputies arrived, they were told that a Sidney D. Hayes of 941 Higgins road, Elk Grove, had forced his way into the home and had threatened the Livelys with a gun. When officers started to search the home, Hayes emerged from the bathroom with no gun in sight and a search of his person failed to reveal one. However, they found a 22 caliber blank pistol in the bathroom. Hayes was taken into custody and charged with disorderly conduct. MUSIN N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) campaigns for the presidency is emphasized. The cost of just a primary in some states is said to reach into the millions, and this amount increases with the actual election campaign. It's no wonder that spending the public's money becomes relatively easy after all the campaign experience with the greenbacks - most of them belonging to someone else. K.A.F. NEW COLLEGE HEAD MEETS PRESS (Continued from page 1) Continuing on the same topic, Dr. Davis said the board must set policy and he felt the board should be involved in im­ plementation where it involves ~ something besides the close knit members of the school. "I feel the board shouldn't administer the college and the board doesn't feel it should either", he stressed. "But they shouldn't feel they should not be asked for their opinion. Citizen advisory groups I feel are essential and districts all across the state have finally resolved problems using them.". He pointed out that generally, if people feel well enough acquainted with people at the college, when a problem arises they will feel free about asking for answers and there is a good chance something can be done to clear the situation. One member of the press asked his views on college activists and discipline in the college, to which Dr. Davis responded that he likes to in­ volve students in what is happening At Mount Carmel, he explained, no disciplinary action was taken until matters had been reviewed before the Student Senate. This way, he said, if a student has a com­ plaint, "he feels he can talk to someone about it before he starts making noise"! Dr Davis referred to a particular incident at Mount Carmel in which students told him they were upset about the manner in which they were being treated by merchants of the community. They intended to devote one entire issue of their school paper to the sub­ ject The president asked them to give him some time to work on their complaints, with the promise that if he failed to produce results they could proceed with their plans. He cautioned that if they continued "making noise," they very well might arouse the community against them and nothing would be accomplished. Davis said the matter was settled at one meeting with the mer­ chants Referring to more violent SCHOOL DISTRICTS GO SEPARATE WAYS (Continued from page 1) was reelected president and Edwin Neumann was named secretary. It was voted that there would be no salary for this post. Lloyd Freund was named president pro-tem and Katherine Alvary, secretary pro-tem, for the year. Regular meeting dates will be the same, the first Wed­ nesday of the month and the third Tuesday, both at 7:30 p.m. in the central administrative building. The McHenry State bank was named official depositor for school funds. Following • a motion recommended by SEDOM to contract for psychological- social work four and one-half days a week for the 1971-72 school year at a total cost of between $9,900 and $11,250, Member Howard Weiss moved to remain at the present four days. When he failed to get support, a vote on the increase of one-half day won approval. At present, the services of a psychologist are offered at East campus and a social worker at West campus, each for two days weekly. SEDOM suggested the addition of a half day because of the growing number of young people with behavorial problems. A motion was approved to allow George Haasl, through SEDOM, to make application for reimbursement for services to handicapped children in a private facility. The total contracted cost will be $4,000, of which $2,000is reimburseableby the state. Members acted to authorize the issuance of tax anticipation warrants in the educational fund against the 1970 levy on specified dates: May 15, $61,000; May 18, $60,000; and May 28, $61,000. No tax money is anticipated until August. The board recommended discontinuance of the Saturday evening adult swimming, ef­ fective May 1. It was proposed that the current charge of fifty cents be raised to one dollar for persons out of the district and seventy-five cents within District 156. The summer swim program was discussed, and Harvey Ahitow was authorized to contact the city of McHenry to participate. A study will continue on the coed volleyball program under consideration in the school. The resignation of Mrs. Virginia White, secretary for Districts 15 and 156, was ac­ cepted. INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS SEMINAR (Continued from page 1) turers association which presented the seminar. "Today we have thirty manufacturers taking part in a mutual aid program that was initiated in October, 1968, by the Manufacturers association. Through this arrangement we alert members to the danger of severe weather, and we make available equipment, man­ power and material to each other whenever an emergency or disaster occurs." Several participants said the seminar proved a practical way to call attention to the many problems confronting those who are responsible for the welfare of many people- school superintendents and principals, store owners, manufacturers, fire and police department leaders, rescue squad members, and others. Cooperating closely with the program was John Shay of McHenry, county Civil Defense director, who broached the idea for a seminar aimed at manufacturers in February. Shay offered services of the civil defense department to provide some training programs for personnel of the seminar participants. They include a medical self-help first aid course and an auxiliary police course. "Several of you may wish to designate people in your business or industry to take one or more of these courses, and I encourage you to contact me to learn how we will do this," Shay said. As a result of the conference, Marian Central has asked Shay to inspect the physical plant at the county-wide high school and offer suggestions on the best way to protect students during a tornado. Bud Grover of the Marian administrative staff attended the sessions. Other non-manufacturing p a r t i c i p a n t s i n c l u d e d representatives of such diverse groups as the Woodstock Children's home, many aria rescue squads, fire depart­ ments and police departments, several businesses that hire more than 10 people, and one hospital-Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. Shay reminded his listeners Civil Defense is intended to train volunteers, adding, "You need to train people to make yourself self-sufficient. It is good to have mutual aid, but you should have the personnel and equipment within your plant so that should a snowstorm, some other type of severe weather, major ac­ cident or widespread damage (such as a sweeping tornado) isolate you, you will be prepared." Paul Boecker, instructor for the University of Illinois fire fighting school, urged business and industry to keep their local fire chiefs informed of fire fighting facilities, location of hydrants, and any changes caused by repairs, closed doors, or blocked passageways. "Plan and drill," he advised. "Prevention is vital to success in minimizing loss from unexpected disasters." Explaining the McHenry county mutual aid program, J.C. Dick described it as "preparedness based on group effort. A mutual aid program reduces disasters in a com­ munity because the planning makes members cognizant of dangerous possibilities," he said. Workings of a severe weather warning system by someone who saw a tornado head for his plant seconds before he dived under a desk were described by Robert K. Fairbert, fire chief at Chrysler's Belvidereplant. That storm struck on April 21,1971 Many participants expressed concern about dangers caused by panic among employees in a business or industi7 because they lack knowledge of "what's going on" near the plant or possibly at their homes. Jim Skeen, Oak Manufacturing, said the mutual aid system helps reduce the danger of panic because someone in authority at the participating plants does know the weather conditions and will alert those at the plant. Skeen discussed types of communications systems. Examples were demonstrated by sales personnel during the noon hour. Jerry Wohlleber, Spring Grove, outlined the tornado warning system of his company. In the afternoon session, Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell presented straight-forward data on the danger of sub­ versive activists, growing abuse of drugs by many nar­ cotics users, and bomb threat retaliation. Much of Sheriff Tyrrell's remarks were in an off-the- record manner to bring manufacturers and their guests up-to-date on growing menaces within McHenry county. The Rev. Clarence Kerr, Woodstock, gave the in­ vocation. George E. Lee, regional supervisor, discussed the new Federal Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970 which goes into effect on April 28, 1971. Several civil defense hand­ books were distributed in an information kit along with a brochure answering the "most frequently asked questions" about drug abuse. New Survey On Employment Now In Progress The Bureau of the Census will conduct a survey of em­ ployment and unemployment in this area during the week of April 19, Curtis T. Hill, director of the Bureau's regional office in Chicago has announced. This survey is conducted monthly by the Bureau for the U.S. Department of Labor. A scientifically selected sample of households throughout the entire United States is in­ terviewed. The employment and unemployment statistics that are based on the results of this survey provide a con­ tinuing measure of the economic health of the nation. In February, for example, unemployment edged down for the second straight month: on a seasonally adjusted basis, 5.8 percent of the labor force was out of work as compared with 6.0 percent in January and 6.2 percent in December. Facts supplied by individuals participating in the survey are kept strictly confidential by law, and the results are used only to compile statistical totals. * Thefts, Vandalism Under Investigation In Community A 16 mm. movie projector with case was reported stolen from Harrison school's resource center room, Wonder Lake, last Friday morning about 8:30. The projector was in the learning resource center room and no signs of forced entry could be found. The theft took place sometime between 4:30 last Thursday afternoon and 7:30 the following morning. The missing items were valued at $300. Frank Leicht of 5724 Circle drive," Wonder Lake, reported Saturday afternoon about 1 o'clock that his summer home had been entered sometime since April 4. Entry was gained by prying the rear door open. Missing were a pellet gun, a target peUet gun with scope and a fishing rod and reel. A shed at the rear of his property was also entered but nothing was taken. A signal strength meter, a rotor control and a spare tire were stolen from a vehicle owned by MacKay's Television Service sometime Monday evening while it was parked outside a tavern in Wonder Lake. The theft was reported by Marvin MacKay of 7224 Barnard Mill road, Wonder Lake. David MacKay of 7210 Salem drive, Wonder Lake, reported that while his car was parked at a tavern in Wonder Lake Monday evening, unknown persons stole three pair of uniform work trousers and shirts from the vehicle. The garments can be identified through identifying numbers of the rental agency that owns the uniforms. A sheriff's squad car was parked in McHenry hospital parking lot Sunday evening about 10; 30 while deputies obtained information from the victim of an auto accident. When they returned to their auto, they found someone had pulled the microphone from the car and hacT taken a six-cell flashlight as well. Sheriff's police responded to a report last Saturday af­ ternoon about 5:20 that a vehicle was on Circle drive, Pistakee Terrace, McHenry, knocking down mail boxes. Before deputies arrived at the scene, another report was received that the two occupants of the car were walking along the roadway, kicking down mail boxes and drinking beer. The offenders managed to elude officers at the scene. However, the description of the car provided by witnesses enabled officers to locate it at a residence on Hickoryway drive. The owner of the car and two suspects involved in the in­ cident are now being in­ vestigated. With proper proof, charges will be brought against them. Damage was done to eight mailboxes and stands on Circle drive, two on May street and two on Hickoryway drive. A street sign at the corner of May and Circle drive was also knocked down.
