It has been said that several hundred McHenry county young people are receiving an education at the county college in spite of a lack of public in­ terest. The statement certainly carries some truth. Aside from the fact that students are studying in a hand- me-down building never in­ tended for a college, they are also handicapped by a lack of library books Thos^e who know the situation first hand say the school is 8.000 books short With an average purchase price of $9 each, this means that it would be necessary to raise $72,000 to adequately stock the shelves At the present time there is an effort under way to relieve the most urgent shortage They hope to do this through a benefit dance to be held Oct. 17 in the Harvard Moose lodge between 8 and 11 pm Even if the dancing toes are not as active as they once were, remember, whatever direction ihey take, it's all for a good cause K A F PARKLAND SCHOOL HOLDS DEDICATION (Continued from pa^e 1) Mesdames Catherine Alvary.

Smith, president of NMSC, said "Although Commended students advance no further in the Merit Scholarship competition, their standing in this nation-wide program deserves public recognition.

The Commended students' names are reported to certain scholarship-granting agencies and to the colleges they named as their first and second choices when they took the NMSQT in February, 1971. reluctantly received by the board from Mrs. Bill (Mary Lou) Weber, secretary of the school board, to be effective Nov. 1.

Brings Action Because of numerous complaints concerning damage to rural mail boxes and the destruction of mail, the Post Office department, through Postmaster Eva Freund, Spring Grove, has issued a1 warning that it is a federal offense to willfully or maliciously injure, tear down or destroy any receptacle used for the receipt or delivery of mail Rural mail boxes are frequent targets of pranksters. However, it is stated that before such pranksters attack a krural mail box it might be well for them to consider that their activities could net them a $1,000 fine or 3 year's im­ prisonment .^Stealing, taking or abstracting mail from any receptacle is also a federal offense and could net a $2,000 fine or 5 years imprisonment or both Postal Inspectors investigate cases of thefts and damage to rural mail boxes and also the theft of mail matter contained therein and turn offenders over to the United States Attorney for criminal prosecution. The government takes a very serious attitude toward such depredations and requests that anyone having information which might lead to the iden­ tification of persons respon­ sible advise his postmaster at once.
