PACE 17-PLAINDEALER- COUNTY ACTS ON COURTHOUSE OWNERSHIP (Continued from page 1) The board noted that a recent opinion of the Attorney General states that the newly enacted act is not a statute authorizing counties to regulate the restoration or reclamation of property disturbed by the taking of minerals. Neither is it a limitation on the authority delegated to counties by the county zoning act. The resolution urges that the county be allowed ninety days for review of reclamation plans submitted by an operator ; that the act be extended to cover the operator of any parcel of land greater than one acre; and that the definition of "operator" be limited to those "commercially" engaged in surface mining. Considerable debate took place on a discussion between John Quay of tfce Planning commission and the Finance committee concerning the HUD 701 program. Numerous line items were recommended to be amended in the Regional Planning com­ mission budget for a 701 HUD Special Study, Community Assistance program. It was noted that only if the county increases the budget sufficiently will the federal government supply $10,000 for the study.rThiR would be matched by the county contribution of $5,000. , i The present allotment for Special Studies is $3,000, and the proposed addition of $1,600 would have brought this to $4,600. Board Member Thomas Huemann of MeHenry objected to a change in line items, suggesting that this larger amount should have been included on the original budget if proponents of the plan wished for the government aid. A two-thirds vote was required for passage, and the count of ballots found the proposal two short. Huemann voted "no" and County Board Chairman Walter Dean and Charles Weingart of MeHenry voted in favor. The Special Study was in the area °f zoning and planning assistance in the county outside municipalities. Dr. John C. Paul and Dr. Robert Simpson were appointed to the T.B. Care and Treatment board, each to serve for three years. Re-appointments were made of Dr. S.L. Ruggero, M.D., J.J. Schultz, D.D.S., and Regina Narusis on the MeHenry County Board of Health. Linnea T. Hadlock, a new county board member who had resigned as a Board of Health member before her election, was named to represent the county on this board. Fred Otto was appointed a member of the Department of Local Government Affairs (Housing Authority) to serve until 1977. Board of Review Chairman G. Watson Low explained to the board the chaotic state presented by the tax situation in the county. He told of twenty hearings ^ld Monday concerning objections in Algonquin township. 01 uiis number, there were eleven assessor errors of information on the record cards. The board gave its okay to numerous recommendations which concern the new court house. These included acceptance of credit of $22,000 on carpeting and changes in the Civil Defense area in the sum of $6,921 (50 per cent of which will be covered by a federal grant). Copies of a proposed zoning ordinance was presented to members for study and discussion. Public hearings will be scheduled later. The next meeting will be held June 12 at 9 a.m. MEMORIAL DAY PARADES MAY 29 (Continued from page 1) Legion rifle squad; cars of dignitaries, including speakers; clergymen, in­ cluding Rev.

SPINNING WHEEL IS WORK OF ART (Continued from page 1) project for the course. Construction time entailed many evening and weekend hours in the home workshop, covering a period of about five weeks. Material used consisted of old pieces of discarded wood found about the home. Turning the various parts on the lathe served an interesting and fascinating experience. When asked what he planned to do with the completed piece, Jaime replied, "I don't intend to sell it; I'm going to give it to my mother". Industrial Arts involves the study of tools, materials and processes, and the tran­ sforming of raw materials into finished, usable products. The construction of the spinning wheel by Jaime Fernstrom illustrates this objective. DISTRICT 15 READING PROGRAM IS REVIEWED (Continued from page 1) Kyle of Valley View, Mrs. Marlene Doukas of Edgebrook, Donald Toole of Junior high, Miss Kevinetta O'Brien of Hilltop and Dick Anderson of Parkland. An unique and bewildering experience was presented for board members and press as Eugene Paulausky, director of instructional services, and Doran led them through a new approach to reading skills. The group was taken into a side room, where there was created an atmosphere similar to that in which children find them­ selves on the first day of school. Various types of confusing material was set before the adults as they were asked questions aimed at establishing a situation like that ex­ perienced by youngsters. Defining reading as "printed talk", committee members explained the various procedures used in their classes. It was noted that pilot programs were inaugurated last year. Whereas the average pupil had a vocabulary of 87 words, new methods brought this to 334. New material was viewed to be used next year. Dick Anderson explained that the Sun Times newspaper program is now in use, which includes instructional material conducive to building the vocabulary. He pointed out that current events account for an interest in learning new words, and the program is also carried over successfully in a math- reading approach. Following the instructional phase of the meeting,' Board Member Dorothy Vick ex­ plained the SEDOM program. TICKET DRIVERS AFTER SEVERAL stated that a vehicle with a Wisconsin license number had damaged the right rear side of the auto and then left the scene. The other driver, located through the license number, stated she was in MeHenry at the time of the mishap but she was never involved in any accident. A witness was summoned and positively identified Mrs. Schuetle's vehicle as the one involved in the accident. Immunization Program Set AREA CRASHES (Continued from page 1) S. Illinois 23, Marengo, was cited by police for failure to reduce speed to avoid an ac­ cident following a three-car accident Tuesday afternoon about 5 o'clock at the in­ tersection of Elm and Green streets. Volpendesta said he was west-bound on Elm. As he came up behind an auto driven by Mary E. Aalto of 5012 W. Or­ chard drive, MeHenry, he applied his brakes but they failed. He down-shifted and attempted to go to the right of the Aalto auto. In doing so, he struck the rear of the car. Miss Aalto stated she was west-bound on Elm and was stopping because of an ap­ proaching traffic signal when she was struck in the rear by Volpendesta's auto. Tlie third car involved, which was parked at the scene, was owned by James W. Walters of 2803 Wooded lane, MeHenry. Walters told police that Volpendesta, in attempting to avoid hitting the Aalto car, must have struck the front wheel of his auto, causing front end damage. Eugenia W. Schuette of Genoa City, Wis., was ticketed by city police for failure to give information after striking an unattended vehicle Thursday afternoon about 4:30 on Pearl street, just east of Riverside drive. Mrs. Theresa F. Sweeney of 5005 Home, MeHenry, owner of the parked car, told officers she had parked on Pearl street at about 4 o'clock. When she returned 40 minutes later, she found a note in her car which Voter League To 'Step Forward' At '72 Meet For 31 May The regular monthly im­ munization program will be held Wednesday morning May 31, from 9 to 11 a.m., sponsored by the MeHenry County Board of Health and endorsed by the MeHenry County Medical society.
