PAGE 20-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1972 ministration is in the midst of discussion with Dr. John Beck, executive director of the McHENRY 4-H CLUB WINDOW DISPLAY WINNER (Continued from page 1) Snoopy characters carried out the theme as they came to the crossroads. One road - the 4-H road -- led to Leadership, Growth, Belonging and Respect, symbolized by the comic strip characters. The other path was the 4-D route, leading to Dirt, Desolation, Drugs and Destruction. Ervin Staveteig and Corinne Boyer are co-leaders. HIGH VOTER REGISTRATION (Continued from page 1) The choice was (1) adding 21 inches of fill so th&t the 24-inch separation between the ground water level and the bottom of the seepage trenches can be maintained; of (2) replacing the septic tank with a proprietary device, using less fill requiring a service agreement. Because of severe rains recently, the Zoning committee adopted an amendment of the current Zoning ordinance. The entire board will act on the amendment after hearings. Clarence. Smith of 'ohnsburg was denied ouilding permit on 1M> acres. It was explained that under state law no piece of property under 10 acres can be legally split up without going through the plat act. The petition of Anthony and Helen Poss and William Tonyan and Sons, Inc., for reclassification from "F" farming to "I-L" light industry, a piece of property on Rt. 31 was approved. The Tonayn firm wants to transfer business operations to this property, located south of McHenry. With approval of the Civil Defense Medical Self-Help course administered by the county Civil Defense office, along with the American Red Cross first aid cour?e as ac­ ceptable under the new Federal Safety act, the course will be taught by Sgt. George Meyers and several volunteers. McHenry high school will teach it to 300 freshman. The board approved the recommendation of the Pur­ chasing committee for a Kard- Veyer file in the amount of $4,252 for the County Clerk's office; two legal size filing cabinets for $85 for the Health department; two 110 watt mobile radios for the Zoning department out of the Civil Defense budget totalling $2,099.50; new secretarial chair for Judge Carroll's court reporter for $75; also the ex­ penditure of $84 for 21,000 large mailing envelopes. Several bids and payments in connection with work on the new court house were ap­ proved. These were Gumprecht Moving & Storage of Crystal Lake, $18,500; $429 for intercom for court rooms; changes in electrical outlets in eight rooms $4,074.75; and a $9,342 bid of Rich company for closed cir­ cuit TV surveillance. SCHOOL DISTRICTS WORK OUT COSTS OF TRANSPORTATION (Continued from page 1) According to a state requirement, the board acted in the form of a resolution designating a budget to be prepared in tentative form for the fiscal year July 1, 1973, through June 30,1974, and to be displayed at least thirty days prior to final action. Robert Thornton was named delegate and Henry Nell, alternate delegate, to represent the local board at the 1972 Delegate assembly (the policy making body of the Illinois Association of School Boards) meeting Saturday, Nov. 18. 'A representative of Paul Pettingill & Co., reporting on the auditor's annual report, declared the district books to be in good condition and the ac­ counting system excellent. The report included in: formation on teacher-student loads for several years as follows: 1967-68, 2,557 students, 102 teachers, for 26.03 students per teacher; 1968-69, 2,867 students, 107 teachers; 25.17 students per teacher; 1969-70, 3,026 students, 121 teachers; 22.72 students per teacher; 1970-71, 3,112 students, 131 teachers, 21.64 students per teacher; 1971-72, 3,000 students, 135 teachers, 20.63 students per teacher. A review of the District 15 instructional organization was made. Under a structure worked out by Dr. Boos and Dr. Paulausky, the Curriculum council was established as the hub of this on-going evolving process. Each school has two representatives on the council. Besides the school ad­ ministrators, parents and students will eventually become part of the council. During its first year of operation, the following projects were completed: Pupil progress reporting forms; teacher and administrator evaluation forms; pilot reading programs to be evaluated for district adoption; an ecology committee; educational film committee; mini-project committee; testing committee and committee to define the roles of unit and team leaders. New concerns are inservice- professional growth, and spelling programs, district- wide. Another report included a description of current plans for staff in-service programs. The National College of Education will present a second course in individualized instruction this fall. In addition, the ad- Chicago Consortium. It is hoped that an integrated program of staff development for the second semester of the year can be arranged, using the resources of the Chicago Consortium of Colleges and Universities. The board approved the employment of Nancy Stetter as part time secretary to the transportation director (the cost divided between the two districts). The resignation of Barbara Reid as secretary in that office was accepted. FOX WATERSHED PROBLEMS IN REVIEW (Continued fro/n page 1) Ottawa, are heavy recreation developments at Chain O' Lakes, much industrial use, especially between Car- pentersville and Aurora, scenic beauty rivalling Wisconsin's dells in the southern reaches, and the threatened en­ croachment of silica sand mining near Wedron. In the beautiful rural southern portion of the river, botanically unique trees and plants are found, such as five red pines, relics of Northern forests, the only ones in Illinois. Frese considers the Fox to be the most beautiful, most diverse, and most important river recreationally in Illinois. Sources of pollution were dealt with by a panel led by Robert J. Stein, M.D., pathologist at McHenry hospital. Dr. Stein asked the group to consider what the environment does to man. In his work as pathologist he sees evidences of a pathology of m o d e r n c i v i l i z a t i o n , technologic injury caused by all kinds of pollution. An Illinois State Water survey chemist, Wm. J. Sullivan, stressed the en­ vironment's ability to adjust to pollutants and to survive, providing the quantity of polluting materials landing in any one place at one time is not overwhelming. It is the quantity of pollutants, not the fact that there are pollutants, which leads to current problems. Richard A. Wissell, M.P.H., formerly of McHenry County Health department, listed six sources of bacteriological pollution of the Fox: 1) Private sewage treatment or rather non-treatment, when a septic system is not maintained, 2) Septic fields in flood plains; 3) Public treatment facilities which are inadequate; 4) Boats and boaters disposing of their wastes improperly; 5) Land run-off, agricultural wastes; €) a minor source, water fowl and wild animals. Wissell listed the results of two years' testing of swimming beach water.

A ticket for driving a motor vehicle while under the in­ fluence of intoxicating liquor was issued to Reuben B. Pace of 2202 English Prairie road, Spring Grove, following a two- car accident Sunday morning about 12:10 at the intersection of Route 173 and Wilmot road, north of Johnsburg. higher coliform counts in 1972 he attributed mainly to the heavy rainfalls, flooding and increased run-off. Eugene Theios of the Lake County Health department described conditions in Lake county, and Robert Cheetham, a geologist with the Wisconsin Soil Conservation service, defined silt and described the erosion, transportation, and deposition cycle by which the landscape is rearranged. He noted that 76 percent of McHenry county is cropland, and 10 percent is urban. At times, Cheetham said, the worst erosion offender is an urban area under construction. "Public health and Law Enforcement" as it relates to the Fox river featured a panel led by Wissell. Dr. Stein con­ tributed a paper in progress in which,he calls for a four-way division of areas of con­ servation which would require conservation groups to define what they're doing, and what their special interests are. Dr. Stein's proposed divisions are conservation for survival, industrial resources, for recreation, and for aesthetic value. Dr. Stein concluded, "If mankind is to survive, it is time for each individual to ask himself, what can I do to control pollution?" John Juergensmeyer, Elgin attorney and anti-pollution activist, pointed out that there are few areas where citizen effort can be as successful as anti-pollution work. John Raber, McHenry county sanitarian with the Health department, related some of his experiences in the field, tracing sources of pollution. He personally has found 227 homes polluting the river by inoperable or non-existent sewage disposal systems. All but two are repaired. Of the two, one is a camp not operating until its problem is resolved. The other is a house, now vacant. Raber said, "We're getting them fixed, one at a time. All I ask is get us some help," Sheriff Tyrrell, who assists the Health department with enforcement problems and who has the responsibility of patroling the river, noted a common denominator in crime, narcotics, and pollution problems, which he labeled man's apathy toward his fellowman. Driver of the other auto, Chester Maconowicz of 1837 W. Division street, Chicago, was not injured in the mishap but his passenger, Elizabeth Maconowicz of the same ad­ dress, was taken to McHenry hospital by the Richmond Rescue squad, suffering from shock. Maconowicz stated he was traveling east on the highway when the other car suddenly backed into his lane of traffic. He applied his brakes but was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. Pace reported he was backing from a parking lot at the intersection when he was struck. He didn't believe he was in the roadway when the ac­ cident occurred. George J. Dickman of 3814 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, was injured by a car as he walked across the in­ tersection of Green and Elm streets Thursday afternoon about 2:45. Driver of the auto, Loretta D. Madden of 7408 Cedar drive, Wonder Lake, was issued a ticket for failure to yield to a pedestrian. Ms. Madden told city police she was turning right onto Elm with her turn signals in operation when suddenly a man appeared in front of her auto. She applied her brakes im­ mediately. Dickman said he put his hand out on the fender of the auto as it came at home and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground. He suffered abrasions to his knees and elbows. Bruce A. Riddle of 4807 Strong road, Crystal Lake, was ticketed by sheriff's deputies for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after his auto ran into the back of another driven by Mary P. Moran of 2805 S. Riverside drive, McHenry. The accident oc­ curred Tuesday evening about 8:20 at 5213 Northwest highway (Route 14). According to the report in the sheriff's department, the Moran car was northwest- bound on the highway and had stopped with turn signals in operation, waiting for traffic to clear in order to complete a left turn into a driveway. The Riddle vehicle, which was traveling behind the Moran auto, could not stop in time and a collision occurred. Both drivers were ticketed in an accident which took place Sunday morning about 2:25 at Lily Lake road, near Lake Defiance road, southeast of McHenry. Jacob Masselter of 4203 S. Wilke road, Rolling Meadows, and Ronald J. Belpedio of 212 W. Dowell road, McHenry; were both cited for failure to drive on the right side of roadway. According to Masselter, he was north-bound on Lily Lake road when he suddenly saw lights in front of him. He started driving to the right but was unable to avoid a collision. The other driver said he was south-bound on Lily Lake road when he observed Masselter's auto in front of him. He turned his wheels to the right and accelerated after impact.

Driver of the other auto, Anthony R. Varese of 2917 Deborah lane, McHenry, told deputies he was west-bound on the highway when he saw the other car enter his lane of traffic. He swerved onto the north shoulder of the road to avoid a collision but was struck by the Wiesenbach auto. The other driver said she was east-bound when she came up behind two slow moving vehicles. When she applied her brakes, the car swerved into the west-bound lane of traffic and the collision occurred. A one-car accident Thursday night about 5:30 at the McHenry Gasoline depot, 4102 W.
