Diedrich, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Diedrich, 3908 North Spring Grove road, McHenry, recently received the Army commendation medal while serving with the 23rd Infantry division in Vietnam. The medal was awarded for meritorious service. Such service can be over an ex­ tended period of time or for outstanding achievement in a single situation. In either case, the recipient must have demonstrated skills and dedication far above the average.

The project has been under discussion for several years, and the first action came two and a half years ago when the McHenry county boardv of supervisors approved a resolution for its extension. The ICC authorization also calls for the installation of automatic flashing light signals at the point where the road crosses over the North Western railroad, south of McHenry. The signals will be paid for by the railroad, but the im­ provement of crossings will be shared between the railroad, county and Motor Fuel Tax funds. County Supt. of Highways James R Rakow said Wed­ nesday that the entire project, which has been estimated to require the expenditure of $400,000, will be financed through county Motor Fuel Tax money. Although he- had not been informed of the ICC go-ahead, he said this would mean that construction will start as soon as rights-of-way are obtained The road's extension, which will connect with Idyll Dell road, will provide a by-pass around the southern part of McHenry. In the beginning, it was discussed when serious consideration was given to locating the County college and a health care complex on the Crystal Lake blacktop. .
