Replace MCHS Faculty Career Day February 1 A preliminary look at bargains offered on the first of the city's semi-annual Dollar Days indicates the remaining two sale days will attract record numbers of shoppers. It is our experience that many of the offers are worth the little effort it takes to slip into a warm coat, get the car out of the garage and mingle with a larger than usual buying public. And one more plus to Dollar Days is the fact that they are leading, rather directly, to are sure to find Spring lurking. We couldn't get into the new year too far without a mention that 1971 marked the twenty- fifth anniversary of the McHenry public library as a city operated unit. A book recording the impressive history of this much needed Organization , from its humble beginning in a room in the East Campus high school, was given to us recently by a present member. The library had been in operation in a small room in the high school when the first board was named by Mayor R.I. Overton. They included Earl R. Walsh, George P. Freund, Mrs. Clarence Anglese, Mrs. A.I. Froehlich and several now deceased, Mrs. C.W. Goodell, Mrs. C.H. Duker, Mrs. George Kramer, Mrs. Fred Ferwerda and Mrs. C.J. Reihansperger. The board replaced one consisting solely of Mothers' club members, and in 1946 carried on for the first time with money acquired by taxation in the city. Old timers will remember well the 25-year-progress-the move from the high school to rooms in the city hall, and finally to the century-old Tesch house, remodelled, which now serves McHenry library patrons. K.A.F. Burglaries And Vandalism Investigated Emmett Hansen of 3207 N. River Park, McHenry, reported to county officials that a 12-gauge automatic shot gun was missing from his home. It was believed to be stolen sometime during the night of Jan. 16. It has not been determined how entry was gained to the premises. A burglary was reported by Elizabeth Simon of 7409 South drive,, Wonder Lake, which occurred sometime since Jan. 15. Her home had been entered by intruders who shut off the electricity to a well pit and removed a jet type pump. Saturday afternoon, county officiate investigated an at­ tempted! burglary at the summer nome of Claire Gronau of 7612 Brbok drive, Wonder Lake. A neighbor who had been looking after the property (Continufcu on page 11) The McHenry high school staff will take a back seat to g a r d e n e r s , a r t i s t s , restaurateurs, airline pilots, s c i e n t i s t s , p o l i c e m e n , engineers, lawyers and tradesmen as the annual Career Day brings the outside world just a little closer to MCHS students Feb. 1. Some time ago a wide range of career opportunities was presented to the student body, and they chose three which most appealed to them. Tuesday, Feb. 1, cjareer representatives will sptmd the morning at West campus and the afternoon--at East campus discussing the facts about their jobs such as security, ad­ vancement, pay, education, and necessary training with the students in a small group situation. Young people will also have the opportunity to present their doubts, questions and hopes to the experts who work in these areas every day. MCHS students have been aided in their preliminary vocational explorations by the Guidance department but have had little chance to talk directly to people in the field. Three sessions enable students to talk with a representative of the career they are seriously contemplating as well as two areas of tentative interest. . At the end of Career Day some 1,900 student* will have completed another step in the sorting process necessary to the determination of a career. Evaluate Area College Site The Weber site was selected by the McHenry County college board of trustees for a per­ manent campus because of its overall high ranking on the factors established by the College's Citizens Advisory committee for site evaluation. Last summer the Citizens Advisory committee developed a rating sheet of important factors which was utilized in evaluating the various sites submitted for consideration. Here is how the Weber site fits the factors which are listed in rank order of their im­ portance as established by the Citizens Advisory committee: 1. Accessibility for pupils and public. It is on a U.S. highway, easily accessible in thirty minutes or less from all areas of the district, and is within three miles of the population center of the district in the general direction of the geographic center. 2. Cost of purchase and clearance. The cost of purchase <$3,000 per acre) is comparable to other land in the area and it is anticipated a minimal cost will be incurred in the clearance of the site. 3. Soil and water-table conditiopi; foundations. The soil is ideal for construction purposes - single or multi- storied. This has been sub­ stantiated by soil borings. 4. Size and shape. The shape of the site is conducive to e c o n o m i c a l c a m p u s development even though it is smaller than the minimum 75- acre size considered by the Citizens Advisory committee. This reduced size was adopted in coordination with, and on approval of, the State Task Force on College Construction which has indicated that most junior colleges in the state have purchased too much land for campus development. (Note -- the junior college with the largest enrollment in the state, Triton, has a 70-acre campus).

Included in the discussion was the present effort by the Curriculum council concerning changes which are now in progress and others planned for the years ahead. The Mini-Project evaluation proved interesting. Teachers involved in the Slow Reader project talked of ways in which students' ability could be im­ proved, particularly through offering material of special interest for the various grade levels. Another phase was called "The World and People", in which faculty members delve into the history and customs of other countries as a source of interest to the young pupils. The Bell & Howell system was explained, allowing students to have their words recorded and later to compare their pronunciation with those of a professional on the same tape. Interest in printing has been sparked by the purchase of an old typewriter in which students work to produce a newsletter, among other things. Efforts to arrive at the best possible grade reporting system were explained--one which will not be degrading to the student and yet will supply sufficient information so that parents and teachers will understand that a problem exists. Sixty reporting systems have been under study and the field has been narrowed to five. Many problems associated with the modular math system were pointed out, in which numerous programs were studied. Nine Workshops have been held thus far this year, and there was indication that nine more would be held before the close of the term. Although difficulties exist, the faculty expressed a belief that the program is beneficial in providing the best method of learning for individual students and their different capabilities. A state request for setting up an ecological committee was announced. One faculty member from each school in the district will form the committee.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO McHenry Man Succumbs To Crash Injuries Joseph Sacco, 83, of 4701 W. Lake Shore drive, McHenry, died Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 26, in McHenry hospital of injuries sustained in a two-car crash that morning at 9:55 a.m. at the intersection of Rt. 31 and McCullom Lake road. Also taken to the hospital by ambulance were Mrs. Rose Sacco, passenger in the car driven by her husband, and the other driver, Bernard Stewart, of Rt. 1, Genoa City, Wis. Sheriff's deputies said Stewart was traveling south on the highway at about 55 miles per hour. He saw Sacco stop at the sign, with right turn signal in operation, and then start up and enter his lane. Steward told officers he applied the brakes but was unable to avoid a collision. Mrs. Sacco also told authorities her husband had stopped. They saw the ap­ proaching car at what they considered a sufficient distance to enter the highway. There were 33 feet of skid marks evident from the Stewart car. The body was taken to the George R. Justen & Son funeral home, where arrangements were incomplete at press time. Liquor Charge' Against Two Saturday night while on routine patrol northwest of Route 173, near Richmond, deputies observed an auto without license plates parked alongside Broadway road. Investigation of the three oc­ cupants of the vehicle revealed they were all minors. A quantity of beer found in the vehicle led to the arrest of John A. Hanny of 472 Fellow street, and Dan K. Thomas of Wild Rose drive, both of Genoa City, Wis. They were charged with purchase or acceptance of alcoholic liquor by a person of non-age. Bond was set at $1,000, with court appearance scheduled for Feb. 7. A juvenile, also in the auto, was released into the custody of his parents with notice to ap pear in juvenile court Feb. 11. Expert Gives Views On Waste Disposal Problem As the mountains of refuse produced by society continue to grow, the debate rages on how best to dispose of these solid wastes. One unusual solution developed at Madison, Wis., will be presented at an open meeting on recycling sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders Wednesday, Feb. 2, at 8 p.m. at the Crystal Lake Nature center. Edwin J. Duszynski, Director of Public Works for the city of Madison, will describe the innovative program of solid waste treatment which he has developed during his ten years at Madison. The unique phase of Madison's program is the grinding or milling of mixed refuse in a special plant. After this processing, the refuse is trucked to a landfill right next to the city's convention hall. This is possible because, unlike the usual materials dumped into a landfill, the milled refuse has no odor, does not attract flies or pests and does not need to be covered daily with dirt. Studies have shown that this process can save 30-50 percent of the landfill space used with conventional methods. There is also the intriguing possibility of using this material in the future. After a few years it can be removed from the landfill, screened for metals, plastic, rubber, etc., then reclaimed as humus for return to the soil. Duszynski will also describe, with slides, the newspaper and glass recycling projects in Madison. In addition, he will detail their current ex­ periments in ferrous metal recovery and scrap paper reuse. Duszynski has his B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin. Beforfe going to Madison, he had extensive experience in various technical and administrative positions in Departments of Public Works in Milwaukee, Appleton and Cudahy, Wisconsin. He is a member of several p r o f e s s i o n a l e n g i n e e r i n g societies and has served as president of the Wisconsin chapter of the American Public ^ Works association. He has received national recognition for his innovations at Madison. The Defenders urge everyone to attend this important meeting Wednesday, February 2, 8 p.m. at the Crystal Lake Nature Center. Sheriff Art Tyrrell will ap­ pear at a public meeting Thursday, Feb. 3, at 8 p.m. in the Johnsburg Junior high school. The purpose of the meeting is to become better acquainted with residents of the community and answer questions regarding his office. George Bailey, memory expert, magician and Ihnif&ttti. entertain guests at the McHenry Hospital corporation annual meeting Saturday, Feb. 5. He's the headline entertainer on the evening program at McHenry Country club. Bailey has a knack of remembering names and demonstrates it as he calls people by name - as he sees them in the audience. Mixed-up magic is another of his entertaining diversifications, says Anthony Corcoran, McHenry hospital administrator. Several changes marked the year for McHenry hospital, and information about changes which can be anticipated in 1972 will be presented during the business meeting of the McHenry Hospital corporation Saturday night, Feb. 5. Anthony Corcoran, ad­ ministrator at McHenry hospital, outlines some of the significant changes during the past year in his annual review which will be incorporated in the 1971 annual report. During the past Christmas holiday season, the ambulatory care unit was converted to provide intermediate care because of the pressing need for more beds in this type service. Twenty beds were made available for the acutely ill by this conversion with no major (Continued on page 11) Sheriff Talks Sheriff and Mrs. Art Tyrrell, left, accept gifts of cheese from Ernest Homouth of Hampshire, field man for the A.M.P.I., Woodstock area, during annual meeting of the Lake-McHenry district of Associated Milk Producers, A J.
