PAGE 10-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1971 \/ BROWNIE TROOP 480 Cl'B SCOUT PACK 454 BROWNIE TROOP 150 Bring Happy Holiday To McHenry Families % Among the youngest heroes and heroines of the Christmas season were the Cub Scouts and Brownies of Johnsburg. It was a mission of mercy when they put their efforts and enthusiasm into the collection of toys and canned goods for Johnsburg Post i 1313 of the American Legion campaign for tjoys for Tots and ' Christmas baskets for needy children and families. The campaign was marked by great success, for which Commander Leon Zelvis and the entire post expressed gratitude. In the picture at left are members of the new Brownie Troop 480, sponsored by the Sunnyside Estates Women's club. It is composed of sixteen girls, ages 7 to 9 years, who meet every Tuesday afternoon at the Johnsburg elementary school. The troop leaders are Marlene Berg, Marian Cyllo and Lisa Parker. Cub Scout Pack 454 is sponsored by Johnsburg P.T.A. It has completed 157 months of tenure, and is composed of thirty Cub members and twelve adult leaders. The pack meets every first Thursday evening at the Johnsburg elementary school. Cub- master is Richard L. Duer. At right is Brownie Troop 150, sponsored by the St. John's Home and School association, composed of twenty-four mem- bers and led by Arlene Cahill, Shirley Davis and Mary Camp­ bell. The troop meets every first Thursday at the Johnsburg elementary school in the afternoon. URGE TRANSIT FUND SHARE SUPPORT r (t ontinued from page 1) the metropolitan area will receive about 90 percent, or about $529 million, of the funds to be allocated in the state of Illinois. This is about $75 for every man, woman and child in the entire area of 6.9 million people. "McHenry- county's fair share' of these federal and state dollars is more than $8,325,000 This amount of money, ob­ viously, would dramatically improve and expand mass transit service to all residents of the county," says Lenske. "But because the suburbs have no single public agency which fc^n apply for the subsidy dollars the way the city of Chicago does for its CTA, few if any of the communities can expect to benefit from the massive sums the federal government and the state of Illinois are making available now for mass transit " He explained that pending and proposed mass transit grant applications by the city of Chicago will siphon off all federal ljand;- expected to be available for Illinois communities through 1980 "It is not that Chicago's needs are greater," he said. 'What is lacking is the means to solve transit problems on the basis of the needs of the metropolitan area as a whole. The logical approach is through a single regional authority con­ cerned with all communities, small as well as large. Such an authority would eliminate the present chaos of decentralized duplication, overlapping of efforts and plans, and the wasteful competition by cities and localities within the region for public funds." The railroad official said a bill known as House Bill 2136 to create such an authority is now before the Illinois: legislature. Passage of that bill," he said, "would lead to more real mass transportation improvements for communities in the metropolitan area than all the transit progress achieved in this area in the past seventy-five years. A single authority could bring about such breakthroughs as stabilized fares for all riders by rail and bus; coordinated schedules and fares of the various means of transit, and transfer arrangements from one mode of transit to another. A single public authority also would increase bus or train service in many suburbs where this cannot be ex­ pected at present from private operators." Such an authority, he said, could be in operation within two years if suburban citizens insist on it "Suburban transit problems are regional problems. These are not problems that Chicago will solve fOr the suburbs. Only a regional authority can do that But nothing will happen unless the suburbs express their BUSY YEAR IN COUNTY COLLEGE HISTORY REVIEWED (Continued from page 1) committee made recom­ mendations in all four areas. The Illinois Institute of Technology site was-recom­ mended provided it would result in a saving of one-half million dollars to the taxpayers of the College district over other sites. After study, the trustees voted unanimously to purchase an option on the property at an agreed upon price of 2'a million dollars. It came as a bombshell shortly thereafter when Illinois Institute of Technology an­ nounced that the site was not for sale. In April, the board named Dr. James R. Davis, president of Wabash Valley college, as president of McHenry County college, to begin his duties on June 1. During the summer months, Dr.1 Davis reactivated the Citizens Advisory committee for the purpose of studyir^g new sites for the college. In November the Weber site, located on Highway 14, one and one-half miles northwest of Crystal Lake, was accepted. In December, the date for the building bond referendum to purchase the Weber property was set for Feb. 26, 1972. During the year, a College Extension center, the Wood­ stock campus, was established- through a grant from the Office of Superintendent of In­ struction. This facility, located on the Square in Woodstock, is designed to provide education and training for Public Aid recipients in cooperation With the Public Aid Office. This adult education program has three objectives to benefit students: (1) to acquire em­ ployable skills; (2) to complete preparation for college level courses) (3) to improve home and family management skills. McHenry County college recently established a Citizens Program Advisory committee to assist the college in planning and evaluating all programs. Eleven members have been appointed to serve for one year on this committee. They will be provided with all of regional and local facts that may in some way affect the college's occupational and transfer programs. The committee will advise the dean of instruction, Dr. Marvin Lieske, in program identification, program development, program im­ plementation, and program evaluation. The passage of the building bond referendum would mean that the college will have a permanent home after four years in temporary quarters. It would provide much needed instructional equipment also.

We are told that school, police and city officials may get their heads together very soon so that a definite decision can be made by School District 156. The city, too, must put its o.k. on the program, but this is expected. While all concerned are placing little or no emphasis on the benefits of a watchful eye of a juvenile officer in our schools, it has a particular appeal for us. It would have the same appeal if a thousand adults were gathered in one place. We feel this is not a matter of most people having little respect for other people and other property - it is only an increasing number in a fast growing population. We don't see how the program can be all wrong with 50 M.C.H.S. students on probation at the present time. We don't suppose anyone would listen if we suggested that for at least some of these 50, and probably many of their parents, the best help of all would be the old woodshed. But who ever heard of the wood­ shed? K.A.F.

"We ^ believe Joe to be uniquely prepared for our work here in McHenry," was the statement of Virgle Chappell, pastor of the McHenry church. "The young people, especially, are very excited about his joining us in our work here." The securing of ah assistant pastor with particular con­ centration upon the youth of the community, was one of the goals laid out by the church in keeping with its tenth an­ niversary observance. A group of seventy persons joined together to form the First Baptist church of McHenry just 10 years ago, Dec. 31, 1961. The church now has about 400 members with nearly „ 700 pensons active in the weekly Bitne study program.
