INSPECTS CHICAGO SCHOOLS - McHenry school superintendent, Dr. Robert Boos, left, was among 100 school board members and superintendents taking part in the sixth annual Chicago Schools tour Friday, Nov. 16. The all-day visitation to a selection of inner-city schools is co- sponsored by the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) and the Chicago Board of Education. Designed to foster a mutual understanding of school problems among school officials across the state, the tour serves as a prelude to the annual conference of IASB, held Nov. 17-19, in Chicago. Also pictured, left to right, are the Rev. George Smith of San Diego, Calif., and a Disney school teacher. A voluntary service organization representing 95 percent of the public school boards in Illinois, IASB annually attracts some 6,000 board members, administrators and others to its state-wide con­ ference. Ringwood News Deaths Local Ladies Escape Fire At Area Restaurant It started out as a pleasant, uneventful day last week Tuesday when Mrs. Mabel Hawley with her daughter, Marion, and Mrs. Anna Reinwall of McHenry drove to Elgin to spend the day. They stopped in a restaurant for a "coffee break" and while there, a fire broke out in the kitchen. They could see the flames shooting up around the french fryer and soon a fireman came into the restaurant telling everyone to get out "before the place blows up"! Needless to say, the ladies did not wait to finish their coffee. ABOUTTOWN Callers at Mabel Hawley's home last Wednesday were Edwin Hawley of Crystal Lake and the Edwin Hawleys, Jr., of Detroit, Mich., and their son, James. Dave Christopher spent last weekend at the International Livestock Show where he was helping with the cattle from Northern Pump Farms under the supervision of Spence Byron, herdsman. Ben Jacobs, Jr., is also at the show working with the cattle. Mary and Art Baker and the girls Cindy and Lori went traveling to Strawberry Point, Iowa last weekend. They left on Friday afternoon and returned home on Sunday. The boys Bob and Bill kept the home fires burning. Walt and Doris Low and Patti Miller were on the serving committee at the last square dance held at Edgebrook school on Saturday night. There were five squares dancing most of the time and regular dancers do come at least to your own home dances as we get new calls at this time.

EXPECT DEC. 17 « ACTION ON CITY ELECTRICAL CODE (Continued from page 1) vehicles at a cost of $2,099. Otto Larsen, of the Baxter and Woodman engineering firm, reported problems in getting a supply of water at the site of the new well. It was decided to proceed with an additional test well and soil borings west of the present site. A requirement of the Federal EPA that the city have an operating manual prepared covering the operation of the sewage treatment plant at a cost of between $10,000 and $12,000 seemed to stun the Council until it was explained that 80 percent of the cost will be paid through the grant. While Engineer Larsen offered to give names of firms doing such work, the Council voted to have Baxter and Woodman prepare the manual. This must be done before final payment under the grant will be paid to the city. A water extension to serve several property owners on the south side of Rt. 120 was ap­ proved under a recapture agreement with Sidney Loeb who will contract for the entire line and then recover from Other property owners when they secure permits for water service. Tests Put Spring Grove Pupils At Median Level Results of the Iowa tests of basic skills were released to the school board by Supt. Frank Tavano at the last meeting. It disclosed that all grades with the exception of fourth and eighth scored near the fiftieth percentile, with fourth grade composite scores on the sixty- ninth percentile and eighth grade at the thirty-second. Dr. Tavano suggested that one of the weakest areas was Language Arts. Since this is the first year for a continuous sequential Language Arts program at the school, it is expected that improvement in all grades will be realized within a two-year period. It was announced that since the federal government has restored the school milk reimbursement program, District 11 will charge students four cents for a half pint of white milk and receive an additional four cents reim­ bursement.

NOVEMBER 23, 1973 Change For The Better There are winds of change in the air about us. There will al­ ways be wars and rumors of war, worrying about the economy, and wondering what will be next. But there is something that each of us can be doing -- something mean­ ingful and worthwhile -- we should try to change our lives for the better. And right now is the right time. We all need to get back on the path to God. We must change within our own lives the feelings of hatred, deceit and apathy into love, honesty and the pursuit of God's will for our lives. We as a nation are ripe for change, but it is up to each of us to bring in the harvest within our own hearts. We would surely be destined toward greatness if we would let God in on our plans, and let our lives fit into God's plan. But we must begin somewhere and at some time. Why not start right here, right now? Can you feel the winds of change? equipment and accessories.

Lenard Duncan will represent the Spring Grove district. Through a letter from the McHenry County Board of Catholic Education, the District 11 board learned that its request to lease the old St. Peter school facility is not possible. Father Kilduff, pastor of St. Peter's church, informed them that the facility is now in use. Members of the board learned that Spring Grove's proposal to meet criteria set forth by Dr. Bakalis' education office in Springfield was one of the first to be accepted. To date, some of the goals have been achieved. These include job descriptions for the administrative staff; rights and responsibilties of the students stated in the student- parent handbook, engagement of the professional staff in planning and evaluation of the school's educational activities; and the creation of an Education committee with written guidelines. m same good neighbor.
