EVENTS OF PAST YEAR LEAVE IMPACT (Continued from page 1) However, in November, the college board took a one-year option on Sixty-six acres located on Rt. 14, northwest of Crystal Lake, as a site for a new college. February 26 was set for the $3,100,000 bond issue which would make this possible, and only the history of another year will reveal whether the untiring efforts of college backers will this time be successful. Dedication of a new addition to Harrison school at Wonder Lake was a feature of that school's important events. At St. John's school, Johnsburg, it was an increase in tuition that prompted much thought and discussion before action was taken. By a narrow margin, three proposals allowed issuance of $1,000,000 in bonds and an increase of both the educational and building rates in Johnsburg District 12. Besides schools, construction went forth in other areas. Bids were opened March 4 for the new county court house on Rt. 47 and Ware road, Woodstock. Later that month ground was broken for the building. The role of health in the future of the community came in for its share of attention. In what was announced as a major change of direction in long range health care, the Hospital Planning Council for Metropolitan Chicago recommended that Memorial and McHenry hospitals continue in their community roles and not plan to expand the services they provide to any great extent. However, in March, the Crystal Lake and McHenry Hospital associations were advised to continue working toward the establisment of a hospital to serve the entire area. As the year ended, plans were presented to the McHenry County Planning commission in which it was revealed that zoning would be asked on an 87-acre parcel of land on Rt . 31, northeast of Crystal Lake, for a health park. Within the city, one of the most noteworthy accomplishments was the establishment of a rescue squad, for which an in­ creasing number of emergencies created a great need. The growing McHenry County Historical society also made strides during the year, the most important coming late in 1971 when a $20,000 bid for the old Union school to be used for a museum was accepted. v And if 1971 seemed to be a year particularly marked by change, it should be no surprise if 1972 continues in the same vein. Just what those changes will be in this community are mostly a guess at this time, although there is enthusiasm for the Rt 120 road project due to be undertaken during the twelve­ month period. On a broader spectrum, the year should bring changes resulting from the reorganization of political districts to con­ form to the one man-one vote ruling of the Supreme Court. The ball started rolling last year for what may become one of the most interesting election years in history. V- V Thirty-One Indictments Returned By Grand Jury "MEANWHILE BACK AT • v THE COURTHOUSE"' ZONE FOR McHENRY'S FIRST AREA MOTEL (Continued from page 1) Council members to give serious thought to the question for whatever action may be taken in the future. The Council voted to renew option to extend lease on the V.F.W. property used for youth baseball diamonds. When there was some danger of losing this recreational area, the City Council leased the designated area at a cost of $1,000 per year. The former "Mi Place" restaurant and tavern has changed ownership and a license issued to Jack E. Martyn was transferred to Ralph P Johnson and Anne Marie Johnson, James street residents. In a reorganization of the McHenry Plan commission, Mayor Doherty appointed Edward Datz as chairman.

Now that winter has arrived we are constantly issued warnings about sleet and snow that fails to materialize. But our naturally con­ servative nature is at last giving 'way to a daring attitude as we place less and less confidence in the predictions.
