CANCEL - DISTRICT 15 REFERENDUM i (Continued from page 1) Actually, it was just $382 728 Further, the currently projected deficit for June 30, 1975, has now diminished to $336,082 while a year ago this projection was $972,000. Dr. Boos asked the board for opinions on spending the an­ ticipated $250,000 increase in state aid. He suggested retirement of the deficit or use of part of the money for school improvements as possibilities. Board Member Lester Smith said he believed in planning, and suggested the Ad­ ministration make a study and introduce a five-year plan, \ setting priorities. Smith added that he had reviewed old budgets and noted with concern that expenditures had doubled in some areas over the past six years. He wondered if revenues could keep pace. After some discussion, Member David Cain moved to cancel the October referen­ dum, commenting that it could be held later if needed. An extensive program plan was presented to the board, setting forth the local schools' compliance with the Illinois Program for Evaluation, Supervision and Recognition of Schools. Although the state office has extended the com­ pliance date to Jan. l, 1974, the local district is holding to its original completion time. ' An evaluation team from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is expected next April, at which time the team will assess the district accomplishments. Dr. Boos indicated that District 15 is far ahead of most in meeting state standards. The new director of tran­ sportation, Carl Ames, was introduced to the board. Approval was given to contracts for Natalie Bartmess to teach third grade at Hilltop; Lorna Bauer, Valley View; Sandra Hefflefinger, sixth grade, Parkland; Roxanne Thomas and Janet Tracey, second grade, and Patricia Pitzen and Joan Werth, third grade, all at Edgebrook. The resignations of Susan Glennon, Judith Kiser, Jay St. John, Steve Stahlman, Kathy Lester, Kevinetta O'Brien, Robert Putnam and James Blum were accepted. Putnam, formerly principal at Parkland, will be working as Social Studies coordinator at West campus high school, where Blum will be English coordinator. Carroll Rudden's leave of absence was extended. Delores Romanus and Jane Roewer were employed to work in the Administration office, the former as bookkeeper and the latter as secretary to the transportation director. Anthony Piasecki and Sam Parisi will be employed for custodial duties at Edgebrook and Landmark. George Larkin was transferred from head custodian at Valley View to the same position at Landmark. Bill Walker moves from Parkland to head custodian at Valley View. Approval was given to a new Social Studies program for which particular textbook purchases were included. The Harcourt Brace Reading series also was given an okay for junior high school use. Pilot programs not selected for district-wide use will be retained as supplementary instructional material, along with some of the previously used texts. Approval also was given math texts for grades K-3 to be used in conjunction with Math Modules. A resolution to transfer in­ terest money from the in­ vestment of the Working Cash fund to the Education fund was approved. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' \ (Continued from page 1) only two reporters invited. We may have missed the conference, but there was no missing an invitation just a year ago when we were sum­ moned personally to take the driver's test. If they had just asked, we could have told them everything was legal - very legal, difficult and time con­ suming. Just the thought that maybe some select few may have been able to skip the whole thing is depressing. Few newspaper people ever get to be real important, but it would have been heartening to think the business brings enough clout to occasionally be offered a favor - even one we couldn't accept ! A marriage of almost sixty years ended this week with the deatji of Agnes Peterson. The quality of her role as wife and mother can probably best be judged by the appreciation and devotion of her family. The quality of that devotion is heartwarming. K.A.F. NAME NEW ASSESSMENT SUPERVISOR (Continued from page 1) Floeter suggested holding up road plans until the trail could be included. Highway Commissioner James Rakow explained that he is in the process of making a study of bike trails in answer to other suggestions that they be established ir» various areas of the county. He indicated that problems do exist and as yet, he has no solution. At this point, Member William Ward said, "Why delay it (the road)?" The board agreed and plans for the road will continue. George Watson Lowe outlined a recent trip to Springfield and stated his opinion that he remains as chairman of the Board of Review. Lowe indicated he is awaiting an opinion from the Attorney General. County Board Chairman Walter Dean reminded Lowe that he (Dean) had named him Board of Review board chairman for one year only, and that Lowe himself voted approval of this action. "I am on record as the Board of Review chairman", Dean concluded. Ten changes in polling places were announced as established by the Legislative and Public Affairs committee. Four of them are in McHenry township. McHenry Precinct 3 will be located at the Knights of Columbus hall, 1304 N. Parle street; Precinct20, Shepherd of the Hills church, 404 N. Green street; Precinct 21, Knights of Columbus hall; and Precinct 26, Whispering Oaks Com­ munity center, 4513 W. Front Royal drive. A long debate took place over a zoning petition on 178 acres of land situated between U.S. 14 and the right-of-way of the Northwestern Railroad com­ pany, southeast of Woodstock. Russell R. Reed and Shirley M. Reed are asking that the premises be reclassified from "F" farming district and "1-1" light industrial district to "1-2" industrial district. On a motion by Ward, it was finally agreed that an okay would be given to the recom­ mendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals if the amending ordinance is approved by the Zoning board chairman to the chairman of the County board. A number of other zoning actions involved local requests. A request made by Horace Wagner, real estate agent, for a variety of variation on a septic system in Wonder Woods, Wonder Lake, was denied due to recommendation of the Health department. Similar requests by Ray C. Nelson, 3219 Bay View lane, and M. Schramm, 503 S. Emerald drive, were approved. Action also was taken on a request for septic variation on the Martinec property, 3518 Fairview, McHenry. If a redrawing of plans by the engineer meets with approval of the health officer, this will receive a go-ahead. A letter was read from the city of McHenry, stating that it has gone on record opposing further zoning or building permits for fireworks or ex­ plosives in the area. It was agreed to obtain legal advice to accomplish the completion of road work on Unit 4 of Claremont Hills. It was noted that the developer has on deposit in excess of $19,000 to guarantee this completion which "should have been done long ago". Action on the Freund gravel pit zoning east of McHenry was delayed because an amending ordinance was not submitted. Action is expected next month. Protesters from the area south of Woodstock were present to object to a county landfill site at Rtes. 47 and 176. Ten of them carried picket signs indicating their op­ position, and paraded through the hall during coffee break. A meeting was set for Monday, Aug. 20, at l p.m. at the courthouse for further discussion. Another group of protesters represented the Fox River Grove community. They asked board support against in­ stallation of high tension wires by Commonwealth Edison Co. and said they were holding blackouts nightly extending from 5 minutes to an hour. The board passed a resolution in support of their opposition. The board reported that it has used its revenue sharing payment for the p.eriod beginning Jan. 1, 1973, to June 30, 1973, in the total amount of $416,709,00 as follows: Public Safety, $326,562; En­ vironmental Protection $20,808.00; Social Services for Aged and Poor, $11,448.00; Financial Administration, $2,083.00; Total Actual Operational Maintenance Expenditures, $360,801.00; Health, $16,000.00; En­ vironmental Conservation, $22,000; Public Safety, $25,058.00; Total actual Capital Expenditures, $63,058.00; Revenue Sharing funds received through June 20, 1973 $416,709; Interest earned, $7,250.00; Total fund available, $423,959.00; Amount expended $423,959.

The April sales tax was announced at $46,403. HEALTH CAREER IS SUBJECT OF DIETETIC MEET (Continued from page 1) Sciences, and Mrs. Henrietta Gebert, coordinator of the new two-year program.

The boat was docked at Lookout \ Beach No. 2. Maria Guettler of 2418 MacArthur drive, McHenry, reported that sometime last week both autos parked near their residence had been en­ tered. An ampmeter was taken from one and a tape player and eight tapes were taken from the other. Wayne Krause of 214 Timothy lane, McHenry, informed county authorities that he stopped at a gas station on the corner of Route 120 and River road last Wednesday and purchased gas for his outboard motor boat. He drove off, forgetting to put the gasoline can into his vehicle. When he discovered its absence, he returned but the can was gone. Attendants said they had not seen the offender. McHENRY GIRL LEAVES FOR SCHOOL YEAR IN NEW ZEALAND (Continued from page 1) propriate to her junior year. Among anticipated treats are sailing in the Pacific ocean.

Time is man's greatest asset. Its value arises largely from the fact that: 1) it is short 2) it is uncertain 3) it is irrevocable 4) it is preparation for eternity. The rich man is he who en­ joys the fruit of his own labors and thoughts. The stone that fits into a wall does not lie long idle in a ditch. Deaths CLIFFORD A.
