Announce Free Meal Policy In District 12 VOICES DISSENT 'To the Editor: <*"It was with sorrow and singer that I read on the front pfcge of Friday's (Sept. 7) Plaindealer of Clint Claypool's resignation from the High School board (District 156). It is Spoor commentary, indeed, on at least a part of our com­ munity, to think that an honorable man cannot execute his duties as he sees them without being subjected to personal ridicule. "As a school board member Clint has been a representative of me and the rest of this town and as such, in my opinion, should be both responsive and responsible to me and all McHenry citizens. Here within our community is a unit of government, not unlike our state or national government, v^herein each representative is elected in good faith and is charged with operating a multi- million dollar business with efficiency and common sense. Whether or not I always agree with my Senator or Congressman, I feel I have the right to tell him so, and, I ex­ pect him to be available and open to my comments. I feel the same way with my school board members. And, if my Representative is not in accord with his fellow Congressmen I expect him to have the courage to say so without having per­ sonal ridicule directed at him and his family and friends (Shades of Mafia and Hitler!). Again, my expectations are the same regarding school board members. "To lift a phrase from Clint's quote in the Plaindealer regarding money - "it's not out of your pocket" - I not only disagree, I contradict. Any money spent by the board comes out of my pocket and every other taxpayer's in our community. It doesn't grow on trees or filter through the air as tdust. Every taxpayer gives a fpart of his sweat to put the imoney in the hands of the board land, in turn, rightfully should texpect sound fiscal management of said money. "Although Clint may have felt like a voice crying out in the darkness for the past four and a half years I would fervently hope that he would give it much thought and consider running for the board again at the next election in Spring. Where there is no dissent can we really feel secure that our interests are being served? "Sincerely, "Elizabeth Nolan" FOOTBALL CONDUCT •.'Dear Editor: "Friday night football games ^gre truly a disgrace due to [Students' behavior during (games. It is true that the 'Majority of the students do go the games to watch, but still ,lhe minority is what hurts and U will always be so as long as 'games are being played at •flights. rijt "There are enough seats for .everybody. Every student admitted to the games must be made aware of this fact. The •School or school board must cfjass a regulation prohibiting parents from dropping off their &ids at the field without a (guardian or chaperone. This might sound ridiculous but something must be done to ^gyoid the embarrassment of ^bearing profanity and seeing uncalled for performances during the course of the game, ci "If we can't stop this type of thappening, then I suggest that < McHenry's football teams must play all their games in the afternoon. < "Bill Fuiava" Johnsburg School District 12 has announced a free meal policy for school children unable to pay ihe full price of meals served in schools under the National School Lunch program. Illinois statutes require all public schools to provide free lunches to children from families whose income is at or below the established guidelines.

Children from families whose income is at or below those shown are eligible for free meals. In addition, families not meeting ^his criteria, but with other unusual expenses due to unusually high medical ex­ penses, shelter costs in excess of 30 per cent of income, special education expenses due to the mental or physical condition of a child, and diseaster or casualty losses are urged to apply. They may do so by filling in the application forms available at the nurse's office in each school. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used only for the purpose of deter­ mining eligibility. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. Under the provision of the policy, the school nurse will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may make a request either orally or in writing to Dr. D. Andreas, superintendent, whose address is 2117 W. Church St., McHenry, 111. 60050 for a hearing to appeal the decision. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the office of the superintendent, where it may be reviewed by any interested party.

Elect Officers, Announce Future Easter Seal Plans PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, SEPTbivittL.. -- • Rally Day At Bible Church When St. Paul preached in Antioch, it was a thriving prosperous city of 400,000 people, known the world around. Now, it is a dusty, miserable village. Reason? Wars, earthquakes, floods and less aggressive people. ̂ Under the former Con­ stitution of 1870, Tresurers could not serve a second con­ secutive term. Scott advised, however, that the new Illinois Constitution contains no such prohibition and he noted: "It has been held that the adoption of a new Constitution repeals and supersedes all the provisions of the older Con­ stitution not continued in force by the new instrument . ."
