PAGF 16-PLA1NDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1973 COUNCILMANS FOR ' PARKING^1 ACUITIES - (Continued! from page 1) will be in installation of the sewer lines and let them know what they wilPhave to suffer in the next few weeks. The meetings at the Com­ munity house are set for Friday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday af­ ternoons from 3 to 5 p.m. Discussion was also held on purchase of the Lakeland Park Water system. The Council decided that David Ladd should be invited to attend next Monday night's meeting and present facts and figures regarding this matter. Supt. Meyer told the Council that a problem had arisen with drainage ditch construction at the corner of Willow and Beach. About 400 square feet of land was needed to insure proper installation of the /drainage ditch so it wouldn't wash out. The land in question is vacant. Owners of the property, William and Theresa Tedor, informed Meyer they would not be interested in selling 400 square feet but would sell the 80 x 150 lot to the city at a reasonable price. Since the whole project was contingent upon securing this lot, the City Council moved to purchase the land. Council members felt they would use what land they needed and if they decide they have no further use for the remaining property, they could survey again and put it up for sale. City Clerk Earl Walsh reported on a recent meeting he attended conducted by the Illinois Municipal Clerks association. A discussion was held regarding Revenue Sharing funds. Walsh learned the following facts: One-third of the money goes to the state and the rest to municipalities and governing bodies; after one year, individual states may change the formula; money cannot be used to retire bonds issued before Jan. 2,1972; it is a five-year plan but that is not certain; funds will arrive quarterly; money must be spent within a two-year period from the time it was received; parking lots can not be pur­ chased with this money; cannot use it to make up the deficit on special assessments; money cannot be used where a government grant is involved; if there is a misuse of fuads^the total amount must be paid b&ck to the government plus 10 percent. In regard to public safety, there seems to be no limit on using the money for the police department. Walsh asked if funds could be used to enlarge the police department building and was given an affirmative answers. For public tran­ sportation, he learned that streets were included in that category. Therefore, the funds could be used to extend Lillian street to cross the tracks and join Route 31. Regarding health services, social services for the poor and aged were considered justified expenditures. Others listed as approved expenditures were recreation facilities as parks and also libraries. Walsh noted there were seven pages listing proper uses of funds and forty pages in­ dicating penalties for misuse of funds. In other business, Looze read a communication from the LaSalle National bank in­ forming the Council that it had purchased the Pries building at the corner of Green and Elm. They ask that the city confirm its obligation regarding an, easement located on the east portion of the property which is used as an entrance to the parking lot on the Nye property. Looze was authorized to confirm the agreement. Lon Smith presented a plan for Council approval. The original piece of property which is located on the corner of Route 31 and Idyll Dell road contained 5Vi acres of land. The plan, called Smith First Ad­ dition, consists of five B-l county business lots. Council approval was required since the property is located within IV2 miles of the city limits. The Council moved to approve the plan which had been already okayed by the City Palnning "Solar Greenery" Flowerwood's New Green Plant Section Indoor Gardening Is Fun ĵlowerwooJ's INTRODUCTORY SALE 10% off GREEN PLANTS (Exotic Angel Plants) Reg. $1.19 SALE $107 I Ea.

The Council was informed that the Eastwood Manor Water Company now owned by Fred Brodie and James Taggart had applied to the Illinois Commerce Commission for extension of water utilities and to construct and maintain a sewerage disposal system. The hearings will be held in Chicago on Feb. 17. Notice was given to the city since these projects are near McHenry. LANUAGE PROGRAM OFFERED CHILDREN BY EASTER SEAL (Continued from page 1) each of the two days. The place is the Easter Seal center of 708 Washington street, Woodstock. Mrs. Middlebrook will supervise the program and her assistant, Mfs. Mary Liston, will handle the program. Due to the fact that few children of this age group can be taken care of in the classes, it is important that the parents register at. once. For information, contact may be made at the Easter Seal center by person Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by contacting the speech correctionist at her home evenings or Saturdays, 338-6867. The classes will start as soon as registration is complete. MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) One asked the principal what he considered the worst problem he has encountered since joining district 15 last September. After pondering for a moment, he admitted this would be difficult to say, but said the number of split families was "an eye-opener". Inevitably, the subject of drugs had to enter the picture. It is more serious here than in Wisconsin, he said. Fields came to McHenry after several years as a teacher and ad­ ministrator in the neighboring state. Proximity to metropolitan Chicago was given as a possible reason. This very serious young principal offered no argument to the statement of a parent who said she understood a student can get it (drugs) within a half hour at East if he wants it. Fields said some colleges no longer have a major problem from the point of ex­ perimentation. Students there have either stopped using it or have gone on to stronger drugs. The experimentation, he ob­ served, has now dipped into pre-high school children. There was much more discussion, all of it interesting, and much of it enlightening. Probably the most en­ couraging conclusion was the statement of Fields that he believes society will return to less permissiveness at home. No time goal was even hinted at. And so, after more than an hour of conversation, our own newspaper deadlines prompted us to bid a rather reluctant goodbye. We had the feeling there was much more these nine parents and the principal had to say. This was only one of several "coffees" scheduled this year. Parents who indicated an in­ terest are being invited to take part from time to time. But what about the 1,000 parents who failed to respond? Will those who complain continue to carry on their gripe sessions with their neighbors? And will they spread their discontent to even more who are equally uninformed? Gary Fields is the first to admit that East campus high school is far from perfect. But he is often the first one in the building in the morning and the last to leave at night--all for the purpose of making it as perfect as he is able. Who can ask for more than that kind of effort? When every parent exerts the same, we can expect a school system which jnight well serve as model for others to emulate. K.A.F. FRESHMAN REGISTRATION AT MARIAN HIGH (Continued from page 1) Cultures, Earth Science, French I or II, German I or II, and Spanish I or II. Individual counselors will be present at registration to assist each family with course selection. Recommendations have been obtained from the Junior high school teachers to provide useful background in the registration process. Along with the teachers' recom­ mendations, test scores will be returned to the 175 students who wrote the SRA High School Placement battery on one of the two dates it was offered. It is to be noted that test scores are used as supplementary data in the course selection process. They are not entrance exams. Interested students who did not complete the test battery are eligible for admission but should notify the guidance office at Marian Central so appropriate records can be obtained by registration time. F u r t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n r e g a r d i n g f r e s h m e n registration may be obtained by contacting Robert Gough at Marian Central. The cheetah is the only cat without retractable claws.

They collided and the impact forced the Philbeck auto to cross the road and hit a car driven by Lawrence Z. Deja of 1511 N. Freund, McHenry, which was stopped at the sign on Route 31. Daniels told deputies he thought it was a four-way stop intersection and when he saw the Philbeck auto slow, he pulled out and was struck by her auto.

McCullom Lk. Kd. McHcnry By BOB JUSTEN The Bolshevik revolution in 1917 fathered the birth of Communism. In the years since, Communist re­ gimes have always managed to muster crowds on anniversaries to celebrate the birih of the most ter­ roristic monster in the history of man. In sheer numbers, the manipulated, mob-minded, emotion-led converts to Communism have outstripped .. but have not outclassed democratic society. The dignity of a democratic, Christian inspired so­ ciety has not only survived, it has grown. Church af­ filiation has increased steadily through the years. But not nearly enough. Church attendance has had its ups and downs. Larger attendance is seen in worri­ some times, less attendance in better times. Com­ placency seems to be a fault of Christian people. It seems sensible to ask what would happen if com­ placency was conquered. . . Think about it this way. . .If each of the 12 dis­ ciples had won ONLY ONE convert a year, and if each convert in turn had converted just ONE more person, and iff this mathematical doubling increase had continued I thru these 1900 plus years, EVERY­ BODY on earth would have long ago been Christians! . . .GEORGET R.
