The National Merit Scholarship corporation Principal Robert Swartzloff,1 left, congratulates Thomas B. Sweeney of 716 Regner road alfter the latter was notified that he had been named a Commended student in recent competition. Sweeney, only MCHS senior to be so honored this year, was recognized for this high performance on the 1971 Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test-National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Commended students rate in the upper 2 per cent of those students who expect to graduate from high school in 1973. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD (NMSC) has named 37,000 Commended students in the United States. These students are among the upper 2 percent of those who are expected to graduate from high school in 1973. The Commended students rank high, but below the 15,000 Semifinaiists announced in September by NMSC. " Edward C. Smith, president of NMSC, said: "Although Commended students advance no further in the Merit Scholarship competition, their standing in this nation-wide program deserves public recognition. Their high per­ formance on the PSAT-NMSQT shows promise of continued success in college. The Commended students' names are reported to the colleges they named as their first and second choices when they took the PSAT-NMSQT in October, 1971. The reports include test scores and an­ ticipated college major and career intentions of the Commended students. NMSC encourages these students to make every effort to continue their education. 60th Annual Meet Farm Bureau Endorses Interest In Government Wholehearted approval of increased attention given county governmental issues the past year - and encouragement to intensify this involvement -- is the thrust of policy resolutions adopted by the McHenry County Farm Bureau members at the annual meeting in Harvard Monday night. Adoption of resolutions to guide the board of directors and staff members is one of the main yearly responsibilities and this was the sixtieth annual meeting of the membership. Members heard twelve resolution proposals, presented by the legislative committee headed by John Henning, Sr., Huntley, and Richard Walters, Woodstock, following a review of members' observations and ideas as gleaned from questionnaires sent regular members a month ago. In resolutions adopted, members direct the Farm Bureau board to continue its increased attention in the af­ fairs of the McHenry county board and to have members attend each monthly county board meeting as far as possible in order to "help our organization become better informed on the actions of the board as a whole and on the views of the various members of the board." Affirms Resolution No. 5: "We desire to have the county board know our members and the views of Farm Bureau." "Farm Bureau has long enjoyed a respected and friendly relationship with the McHenry county board and desires to maintain this mutual confidence. As members we believe we must intensify our recently increased par­ ticipation in McHenry County's governmental affairs," states this resolution, "because the whole gamut of problems -- open spaces, taxation, en­ vironmental control, best land use, zoning, road improvement, freeway construction, assessments, landfill or in­ cinerators - have a vital im­ pact on agriculture." Farmers reminded all citizens that McHenry County is still very much an agricultural county, and "how we use our greatest natural resource--farmland-is vital to all citizens." In another resolution, members ask the Farm Bureau board to consider what steps should be taken to preserve agricultural land in the county and the best way to participate in the activities of the McHenry County Planning commission. Members in Resolution No. 4 commend the Farm Bureau board for participation in helping members during the assessment crisis in Algonquin township. "We reiterate our position that this county Farm Bureau continue to help whenever it can on any tax situation and to be alert to prevent the spread of the 'tax, tax, tax' philosophy into other townships." In another major resolution, members direct the County Farm Bureau board to continue efforts with nine other county Farm Bureaus in areas af­ fected by the proposed Fox River Watershed Conservancy to oppose establishment of this district. "We believe many reasons merit opposition," states Resolution No. 2. "Among them are the unlimited taxing powers provided in the proposal and the fact that its establishment would duplicate services that can be carried out by others." In other resolutions, mem­ bers also: 1. Direct staff members to obtain personal property tax forms and assist members as needed in filing the forms when the time comes. Members reiterate their stand that personal property taxes should be ended and urged the Illinois Agricultural association to intensify efforts to end them. 2. Direct the Farm Bureau board to study ways to dispose of dead animals, noting it is becoming an increasing problem in the county. One suggestion offered concerns establishment of some kind of a county-wide dead animal removal program. 3. Suggest the county and state Farm Bureaus step up efforts to find ways to revamp the tax system, which is becoming an increasingly heavy burden on property owners. The resolution notes about 80 per cent of the tax COUNTY BOARD TAKES ACTION ON TENTATIVE BUDGET (Continued from page 1) Record of Deeds, each $17,000; State's Attorney, $32,000; Public Defender, $12,900 and Coroner, $12,500. Minimum salaries are set by the state in each of the above. Other salary recom­ mendations accepted were Civil Defense Director, $12,000; Administrator Valley Hi Nursing Home, $11,400; Building and Zoning Enforcing Officer, $12,000; Court Service (probation), $12,600; Health Administrator, $17,300;, Health Veterinarian, $16,500 and Planning Executive Secretary, $16,500. The Health Administrator salary is in two separate areas, Public Health-Home Nursing and Public Health En­ vironment. In presenting the budget for consideration, the Finance committee explained that last year the county approached the Dec. 1 fiscal year with a balance of about $734,265. This year on Dec. 1 the balance will be approximately $25,000, or $709,265 short of the previous year. Several major decreases this year will include $158,227 for elections; $7,500 for audit and management services and $35,000 for computerization. Chairman Edward J. Buss explained that a balanced budget can be accounted for in several ways. One is an in­ crease in building permits totalling $90,000. Others are $117,000 returned to the county board from the Public Building commission; $282,970 for the sale of old county properties and buildings and $100,000 for creation of the County Mapping department. In addition, almost all con­ tingencies are in the County Board and Liquor commission budget ($72,879) rather than in each budget as in the past. This dollar is used for school support and says McHenry County Farm Bureau would support any system offered if "it is equitable and practical." 4. Commend the board for its increased efforts to tell the public about farmers' position in today's society and on reporting to the public on Farm Bureau's position on many vital local issues. 5. Recognize the sixtieth anniversary of McHenry County Farm Bureau and calls it a "good time" to express appreciation to those who hav€L* served long hours voluntarily as directors, committee chairmen and president. "Their leadership and vision," concludes the 1972 resolutions, "has helped Farm Bureau gain the respect and admiration of the entire community." $ c Summer Fun On The Run The carefree days of summer are over, and scenes like this have given 'way to youngsters carrying books on their reluctant trudge to answer the school bell. The playgrounds there probably are proving to be the most attractive part of the entire day, as they have always been, but the relaxed spirit of summer is gone. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD amounts to an increase of $44,426. The amount will be placed in that category to be used for unforeseen emergencies in the new court house. Buss noted that the com­ mittee had spent much time discussing the proposed federal revenue sharing and its effect on the county budget. He cautioned members that even if it is signed into law, it will be necessary for the county to pay back the $140,000 to the Working Cash fund and the board will not be getting the $117,000 from the Public Building commission or the $282,970 from the sale of county property. Also, the county owes the Class apartment account $30,000. Final action on the budget will be taken at the November meeting. In other business, Robert Segel was named to fill a vacancy on the Board of Health gis a citizen member. Ms. Hadlock had held that post until her election to the county board last spring. At that time it became necessary for her to resign as a citizen member. She has since been appointed as a board representative on the committee.
