PAGE 13-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESPAY, APRIL 28, 1971 Jts \jb f I tt I r1 > mm LEADERSHIP GRADUATE -- State Senator Donald "Buz" Lukens, of Ohio presents a graduation certificate to Richard Walinski of the McHenry County Young Republican club for at­ tending the Illinois Young Republican Leadership Training school. The school was recently held in St. Charles, 111., to bring young political leaders together to learn the practical end of political organizations and to train young people how to work 'within' the system. "Buz" Lukens was a former National chairman of the Young Republicans. Mr. Walinski is McHenry area president of the McHenry County Young Republicans. MUSIN' 'N MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) tures submitted for the newspaper, all because some lady we knew had changed her hair style since we last saw her. If this is so, what chance does a person have of identifying a stranger who is really working to change the appearance. In an effort toward economy- and also to make the post of­ fices more attractive-we believe the department could very well cancel these ugly posters. HOLD GROUND BREAKING FOR NEW YMCA (Continued from page 1) swim instructor office and a pool storage area. Another section of the building's first floor contains a 75 ft. by 37 ft. six lane, indoor pool with a spectator's area and an en­ trance to the women's and girls' locker rooms with a drying area, lavatory and shower room. Other first floor rooms include a yard storage room, a tank room and an electrical equipment room. The basement level of the building contains the tank area of the swimming pool, the filtering equipment, a mechanical room, an exercise room, men and boys' locker rooms with a drying area, lavatories, showers, the boiler room and storage rooms. COMMEMORATE CITY'S 135th YEAR, MAY 1-2 (Continued from page 1) The Evening By The Moonlight" and "When You Wore A Tulip". The period from 1910 to 1930 will find the stage transformed into a background of the Fox river, where one of the popular chartered boats of the day is anchored. In this setting, singers will take the audience through the war years and into the Roaring Twenties with such selections as "They Didn't Believe Me," "Till We Meet Again", "Alice Blue Gown" and "I'm Sitting on Top of the World". Otto Pyritz, with his ac­ cordion, will lead the audience in community singing of old favorites during intermission. The program will conclude with a formal setting of the chorus in several selections leading to the inspirational "The Impossible Drean". The program is sponsored by thirty-five members of Cub Scout Pack 459, who will benefit from their own sale of tickets. Program tickets and special invitations have been sent to original members of the McHenry Choral club to attend an open house in the school cafeteria, which will follow the Saturday night performance. Other members of the audience are welcome to be present also. CITY OBSERVES HOSPITAL WEEK (Continued from page 1) "But machines can't replace people-most of our hospital care depends on judgments and personal services." Demand for much man­ power-about two-thirds of the budget goes toward salaries- boosts the cost of health care, and of course McHenry hospital is like other hospitals in that it provides top health care on a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week basis. "Hospitals sometimes must hire five people for one job to ewer three eight-hour shifts, seven days a week. People also must be given vacations, sick leaves, morning and afternoon breaks, and other benefits which machines don't demand!" For comparison, two-thirds of the hospital's total costs go toward payroll, while industry and business devote only one- third of their costs toward salaries. In the health care field payroll is frequently at a higher salary level because so many skilled employees are needed," said Corcoran. "At McHenry hospital more than one out of every three employees is highly skilled and trained, while in the auto in­ dustry, the average is one in six. We must maintain salaries that are competitive with those of usiness and industry to keep our hospital operating." Providing ancillary services to assure top health care is another factor contributing to the health care cost, but this often proves to be a good in­ vestment because sometimes the number of days a patient stays in the hospital is lessened. ' "As we look around, we realize people who come to our hospital love it. People who have friends requiring care love it. People whose families are accident victims love it~we might answer that opening questioning by exclaiming that everyone appreciates a hospital and what the people who serve there can do for you!" DISTRICT 15 BIDES TIME ON SEPARATION (Continued from page 1) which probably will be needed. A total of $100,000 was for prin­ cipals' salaries; teacher salaries this year were $1,225,000 (the figure for next year would depend on what steps the board would allow teachers on the salary schedule; $15,000 proposed for sub- teachers ; $25,000 for clerical help; and $40,000 for teacher aids, etc. After considerable discussion, Mrs. Cuda asked Lawrence, considering all possibilities, what he thought the deficit would run next year. He replied that considering all question marks, it would be between $75,000 and $200,000. Mrs. Cuda commented that she found it very difficult to go over the budget and deficit with undivided attention when it ap­ peared impossible to decide what the board would do with its program and problems resulting from the separation of districts. Observing that "the whole thing is up in the air until we get stJTUe sort of concrete plans", the board went into executive session. HiiHliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir'isiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- •| ^ i SPONSOR NEW PROGRAM FOR AREA PHYSICIANS (Continued from page 1) 28, starting at 3 p.m. at McHenry hospital. The topic of discussion being "Drug use and abuse". The program will be highlighted by Dr. Edward Senay, clinical director of the Illinois Drug Abuse Program, who will speak on "General Concepts of Drug Abuse". ft STATUS OF COLLEGE UNCHANGED (Continued from page 1) semester 1970 and the spring semester 1971 apportionment claims to the Illinois board was presented to the board. The total claim for fall, listing 10,487 allowable semester hours credit, was $162,548.50 claimed. In the spring it was 9,967 hours with $154,488.50 claimed. The fall claim in 1969 was $144,971.50 and the spring, 1970 claim, $126,511. Referring to a letter sent by the I.I.T. to the college board, stating that it was not in­ terested at this time in further negotiations regarding sale of the college buildings, Dan Malone, chairman of the Citizens Advisory committee, presented that group's report and resolution. It calls for further study on site locations, as well as a letter to the I.I.T. asking clarification of the wording 'at this time". Herbert Lutter, a board member, recommended naming a committee to consist of two advisory members, two board members and the acting president to visit I.I.T. officials and learn their reluctance to negotiate further. Board member*, ,fcowever#, said.... it would be embarras&ing to confront the I.I.T. again on a subject which seems to be closed for the immediate future, especially since the college's check in the amount of $10,000 earnest money had been returned. However, it was agreed that the advisory committee send a letter to this effect. The board will make a study of the possibility of establishing a working cash fund permitting the college to issue bonds in amounts better than $300,000 for a twenty-year period, to be used in lieu of issuing an­ ticipation warrants. A letter was sent to former board member, E.C. Nichols of Marengo, stating the high regard felt for his service to the college. One board member com­ mented that a tax case is in court regarding the status of the I.I.T. building for tax purposes. He observed that if the case is lost, the college may be required to pay a share of #ie taxes. No further ex­ planation was given on the matter and there was no discussion. Students submitted a new constitution for the Student Government for perusal by the board. If the final draft is ap­ proved by all of the students, it will then go to the college board for final action. A citizen concerned with drug abuse asked the board to support a Mental Health board? hot line-perhaps with two or three lines-permitting drug users to receive help. After a split vote, with three members abstaining, two in favor and one opposed, reconsideration was given to the first opinion that the motion did not carry, and it was decided that the result was favorable. Following the discussion, it was agreed to form an advisory group from within the board to study requested endorsements of all kinds. A total of $100,000 in tax anticipation warrants was issued to date this year. Another $50,000 will be needed to cover the current deficit. Lutter moved to ask staff members and others to engage in economy moves which he feels would realize a savings of $20,000 in a year. BURGLARY NETS OVER $5,000 (Continued from page 1) reaching in and unlocking the door. The home was completely ransacked and the following items were taken:$2,900 in currency; .22 caliber revolver with holster; mink jacket valued at $900; mink stole at $600; eight wrist watches with a value of $75 and $90 each. CRASHES CAUSE FIVE DEATHS issued a ticket for driving too fast for conditions following a one-car accident Sunday evening about 8 o'clock on River road, one-half mile north of Fernwood drive, s^.^reast of McHenry. Kolbinget stated he didn't remember what hap­ pened. A witness at the scene told deputies Kolbinger was north­ bound on River road and passed him at a high rate of speed, after which the car left the road and hit a utility pole. Another witness stated the car had also passed him at a high rate of speed, weaving in both attni lanes. Physical evidence scene: indicated the Kolbingejj^ auto failedito negotiate a curve, left the east side of the roadway and traveled approximately 230 feet in the ditch before striking a utility pole. The driver was taken by ambulance to McHenry hospital for treatment of head lacerations. Harold G. Miller of 3941A W. Main street, McHenry, was ticketed by county officials for driving while under the in­ fluence of intoxicating liquor after a one-car accident Sunday evening about 10:30. Miller said he had taken someone home in Orchard Beach and had become lost in the area. He missed a deadend street and ran onto lawns at 2905 and 2909 Kama avenue. Property owners told deputies that the Miller auto tore up their front and back yards and became stuck on top of a well casing in one of the lawns. Arthur M. Anderson of 7721 Deep Spring road, Wonder Lake, was ticketed by sheriff's police for failure to yield the right of way, following a two- car accident Thursday af­ ternoon about 4 o'clock at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Wonder Lake road, west of McHenry. Driver of the other car, Kenneth W. Schumacher of 2710 Franklinville road,- Woodstock, told police he was west-bound on the highway when the Anderson car made a left turn directly in front of him and he was unable to. avoid the collision. Anderson stated he didn't recall what happened. Anderson, who was seriously injured and a passenger in the other auto, Dorothy M. Schumacher, were taken by ambulance to Memorial hospital, Woodstock. Christa Beltz of 7515 Barnard Mill road, McHenry, was in­ jured in a one-car accident Saturday about midnight on Route 120, one-half mile west of Wonder Lake road. The driver said she was east-bound on the highway and as she came to a curve, the steering apparatus failed to function properly and she either blacked out or fell asleep and ran off the road. She was taken to McHenry hospital by ambulance. Margurite Kosman of 4419 W. Shore drive, McHenry, was taken to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, for treatment of injuries after her car went out of control and crashed into a utility pole Monday morning. The accident occurred on Rt. 120, a quarter of a mile east of East Wonder Lake road, at 8:15. Mrs. Kosman told deputies she was east-bound on Rt. 120 and doesn't remember what happened. Her car left the shoulder of the road, crossed back to the other side, and left 84 feet of tire marks before striking the pole.

Investigation revealed the auto was a 1971 4-door Rolls Royce that had been stolen from Lake county. It appeared the fire had been set deliberately. The car was a total loss. space;,- AERONAUTICS ̂ "FLY BY WIRE" WASHINGTON -- The Apollo spacecraft that takes U.S. astronauts to the Moon and back are guided by elec­ tronic control systems. "Why not," ask NASA aer­ onautical engineers, "adapt this system to aircraft of the future?" This would make travel easier for air passengers by softening many of the bumps, sways and lurches often felt in rough air. Furthermore, NASA engineers believe an electronic control system would ease the pilot workload and allow him more time to do the critical tasks of flight planning and manually flying the landing path. And it may well be possible to reduce the size of large structural components such as tail surfaces, and relocate others which could reduce the basic weight and drag of the aircraft. This shoud make it possible to increase the pas­ senger load while at the same time improving flight per­ formance. ' Today's aircraft use a cumbersome mechanical sys­ tem of metal rods, hinges and hydraulic lines to carry the pilot's signals from the con­ trol stick in the cockpit to the aerodynamic controls on the wings and the tail. The long-held theory that these mechanical systems give the best reliability has been challenged recently be­ cause of battle damage to military aircraft and struc­ tural bending in commercial aircraft. An electronic system, simi­ lar to Apollo spacecraft, gets around these problems by substituting lightweight wires for push-rodB and then adding several redundant wire paths at different loca­ tions in the aircraft to make the overall system less vul­ nerable to damage. This type of control is usually referred to as the "fly-by-wire" method. NASA engineers at its Flight Research Center, Ed­ wards, Calif., and the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, have formed a team to adapt the Apollo flight hardware to a reliable "fly-by-wire" con­ trol system for the aircraft of tomorrow. They'll begin this research work soon by adapting an F-8C airplane to the electronic system. By the fall of 1971 the equipment will be fully installed, and the experimental aircraft will be operational the following spring. So while you may never make it to the Moon in an Apollo spacecraft, it is likely, indeed, that you may fly in an airplane that will trace some of its ancestry to the Apollo program. LIONS PROJECT Using a stake truck, Lions club members will be riding through city streets from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 1, in behalf of a benefit project for the blind.
