Murray Earns Masters Degree, 8 In Education Terrance Murray, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Murray, received his Masters Degree in Education, and on the very same day his wife, Barbara, presented him with a beautiful baby girl, named Elizabeth- Ann, and weighing 8 lbs., 5 ozs. The young couple have two other children, James and Lorene. Congratulations, and we of the village wish you and your family a long and happy future. PARK AND BEACH I have been notified that the beach will be closed to the public from June 28 to July 9 during hours 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is the time that the swimming classes will be conducted. This does not in­ clude Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. On July 8 double lessons will be held, the hours for these lessons will be 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. If you feel you muse take a swim during these hours, please use the area away from the beach. Last year, some older boys using the raft, made it almost impossible for the instructor to conduct the lessons. There are new signs to be posted at the beach, one will be a SWIM AT YOUR RISK sign. There will not be a life guard at the beach, so please take care. VILLAGE BUSINESS Another improvement for the village, new street signs have been ordered, and will be in­ stalled as soon as possible. The village has a new police officer. He is Robert L. Sim­ mons. The McCullom Lake Athletic Association has plans to im­ prove the ball diamond, the fence will be removed and the playing area will be improved. McCULLOM LAKE CONSERVATION CLUB If you have not as yet seen the improvement of the lake, I suggest you do. It is much clearer than it has been for years. This is due to the effort of the McCullom Lake Con­ servation Club an(P many volunteers. Their past ac­ tivities have been as follows; Annual clean-up of ditches feeding water to the lake; the installation of seven feeder- breeder cribs; erection of a rough fish trap to preclude entry of carp from the Fox River; permanent type; a coordinated analysis of fish population over the past ten years with Illinois Con­ servation Department Chemical treatment and removal of all fish. At present a restocking program has begun with 50,000 channel catfish and two dozen breeder bass in­ troduced last fall; this spring there have been 200,ood Nor­ thern Fry introduced and in July there will be additional bass and blue gills introduced in the lake. No fishing can transpire until 1973 to give the re-stocked fish adequate growth time. The above plans cannot be accomplished without the raising of funds to properly pursue the club's adequate management of our lake, please cooperate when asked. BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday >. to the following, Bill Gleeson on the first of July and to Todd Morris on the third. COMMENTS Have a safe holiday, see you next week. m McCLORY REPORTS From Washington STREAMLINING COURTS . Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie ap­ pealed for "far-reaching court reform" in a recent address before the Illinois Law Enforce­ ment commission in Chicago. He asked for commitment of $10 million to finance a two-year program to increase the num­ bers of court personnel, apply modern technology to court pro­ cedures and streamline judi­ cial administration. He de­ clared massive improvements are necessary to avert "to­ tal collapse" of the criminal justice system. The governor's program includes increasing court personnel to insure trial of all criminal cases within 90 days of the accused's ar­ rest; a state-wide review of the judicial system and auto­ mation of court records; a per­ manent training program to ap­ prise court personnel of tech­ nological and legal develop­ ments affecting court oper­ ations; a survey of the need for physical facilities across the state and recommendations for effective financing to meet those needs. The easiest tree for a storm to topple is a rotten one. Likewise. Deool« At this season when high schools are graduating thousands of students, the big issue with the families of the graduates involves the next step - college. With the expiration of the 1965 Higher Education act, the Congress is deeply involved in providing a new program to fulfill the hope expressed by the President that "no qualified student who wants to go to college should be barred by lack of money." Notwithstanding this goal, only two out of every ten high school seniors with a family annual income of $3,000 or less entered college in 1967, whereas eight out of every ten high school seniors with a family annual income of $15,000 or more enrolled at a college or university. Under the Administration proposal, almost one million additional low income students would receive aid for their college expenses. This financial boost, which might total $2,900 per year, would consist of an outright $1,000 grant plus a maximum $1,900 guaranteed loan repayable after completion of college. This combination of federal grant and guaranteed private loan would almost double the current budget for higher education to a total of almost $2 billion for the ensuing year. The Administration program would also provide funds for building construction at community colleges as well as at developing institutions -- principally Negro colleges -- and for educational personnel training programs. However, most postgraduate school programs would be merged into a proposed National Foundation for Higher Education, designed to stimulate excellence in education through a wide range of experimental and innovative projects. The Democratic alternative proposes that every qualified student entering college would be entitled to an educational opportunity grant of $1,200 less the amount of federal income tax paid by his or her parents for the year. The idea behind this proposal is to insure that each student would receive aid proportionate to his family's income. In addition, colleges would be provided with federal funds from which they might give supplemental grants to students who need aid beyond the basic amount. While it appears that the Democratic alternative would provide a smaller amount for each college student, the funds flowing directly to the colleges and universities would appear to be far greater. Also, the Democratic proposal extends the vocational education programs (not covered in the Administration measure) and extends the National Defense Education act -- a direct federal loan program -- which OFFICE Save time and steps in your business or at home.

There are various other ideas drifting around the United States Capitol, including the so- called Kerr Plan developed by Dr. Clark Kerr, the former president of the University of California at the time the first large-scale student riots oc­ curred there. Under Dr. Kerr's proposal, all students would be guaranteed up to $500 during their freshman year and would become entitled to a type of federal dowry which would increase as a student continues his education ~ totalling $3,500 if they should become a Ph. D. candidate. Hearings are continuing before the House Education and Labor Committee, with a c o m p r o m i s e m e a s u r e becoming more probable each day. There is a restless air per­ vading the Capitol for «»arly action in order that this year's high school graduates may know soon where and whether they are going to college, and to enable our colleges and universities to budget the'r programs for the academic year beginning in September, 1971.
