MARCH 22,19*4 REJECT RECOGNITION OF BARGAINING AGENT (Continued from Mure 1) requested that a recorder and 60-minute tapes be purchased for use of the ZBA to accurately record their hearings. Alderman Jeroine Rogers expressed his approval of the request and suggested/ that an additional tape recorder be purchased for use at City Council meetings. "Hive are many times when these meetings should be recorded if not all the time," Rogers said. He felt it would help clarify disagreements on past meetings which sometimes occur during debates by Council members. City Attorney Bernard Narusis commented that it is perfectly legal to tape meetings and is, in fact, an excellent method of keeping records. Trie tapes could be kept in the City Clerk's office and the public would be able to listen to them but would not be able to remove them from the building. Narusis suggested that a system be set up much the same as a library card. Whenever a tape is removed from the files, the name of the user and the date should be listed. "You have to be careful because we all know what can happen with tapes," Narusis smilingly remarked. Approval was given for the purchase of two recorders and ample voice tapes., Developer Ralph Edgar approached the Council to ask its opinion on a parking area plan he had drawn up for use in connection with his proposed building project in back of McHenry Savings and Loan. The drawing he displayed showed an eight-story building with no restaurant on the premises. Edgar said there would be no restaurant as originally planned. He informed the Council he has an agreement to purchase the Unti property and had until April 15 to do so. This property was incorporated into his proposed plan and he sought favorable feelings from the Council before proceeding with the Unti purchase. Since Edgar's most recent proposal differed greatly from his first plan, he was advised to have his attorney meet with City Attorney Narusis to work out zoning and ordinance problems. Narusis informed the Council that he had received a notice from the Illinois Commerce commission regarding a hearing date for the Lillian street-Grove avenue railroad crossing. The hearing has been set for April 3 at 9 a.m. in Chicago. This was good news to Council members because it is a month's jump ahead of the schedule set up for the project. Several citizens from the Main street area appeared at the meeting to question why their cars had been ticketed by police recently in a parking lot which they had used for several years. Mayor Stanek replied that some question had arisen recently regarding the parking lot but that the matter is now under discussion. Hie citizens were informed that no further tickets would be issued until the matter is resolved. The Council approved the purchase of a float for use at the Marine day parade as well as for other parades in the county. Hie aldermen also agreed to sponsor three nights of entertainment at Marine day festivities this year which are scheduled for the week of July 7-14. Hie Council voted to advertise for bids on a 2,500-lb. roller for use by the Public Works department for street repairs.

Approval was given for a tag day for the 'Girl's Pigtail League of American which is a baseball league for girls from die McHenry and Johnsburg areas.

As if that weren't confusing enough, somebody decided to discredit that beautiful start of Spring. On our own two calendars we had to wait until Thursday, the twenty-first. At the next desk they had the jump on us and observed it (correctly according to their calendar) on the Wednesday, the twentieth. When we can't keep as simple a document as a calendar in order, how can we possibly be astonished that the government has problems with its thousands of official papers - and forty-odd tapes. K A F TICKET TWO DRIVERS AFTER MONDAY MISHAP (Continued from page 1) McCabe avenue, Crystal Lake, was ticketed for improper lane usage following an accident Monday morning about 12:30 near the intersection of Route 176 and Griswold Lake road, southeast of McHenry.

ATHLETld PASS SYSTEM jlS REVISED BY SCHOOL BOAR0 (Continued from page 1) i the part 'of elementary districts, building principals and staff members. District 156 will begin classes immediately after Labor day, which is one week after they start at Wonder Lake. Supt. Richard Swantz said he wouid like to start earlier, which would bring the school closing one week ahead and offer an opportunity for students to seek jobs in the early summer. Nevertheless, he recommended the calendar as it stands in a spirit of compromise. Board Member Lloyd Freund observed that many people like to take family vacations prior to Labor day, which would create a problem by starting the term early. The board discussed the matter further and agreed that R would be desirable to obtain the reaction of more parents . through a questionnaire. Action was taken on bids for three new school buses to replace old vehicles. The low bid of Hausman Bus Sales was accepted to provide bus bodies in the amount of $5,092.76. The chassis lad went to the second lowest bidder, Buss Ford of McHenry, with $6,490. Freund of Barrington was the low ladder by $180 but the board felt the service that could be supplied by accepting the local firm would more than compensate for the difference in cost. Some discussion was held to clarify for board members the term special chassis. Carl Ames, transportation director, explained that the term is used to include a larger fuel tank so that trips may be made without the necessity of finding a gasoline service station in another community. In addition, the school is anticipating a change of law regarding lights in school buses, and to prevent drastic changes later, buses are equipped to allow for such installations if they become necessary. A short presentation was made by Marianne Hauge, Vern Peterson "and Greg Johnson, deans of students, regarding the completion of initial efforts to evaluate the district's co-curricular offerings. Johnson also reported on the recent McHenry Alert series of drug abuse seminars. He said the first session drew about 100 ' persons and after that the attendance fell to between 30 and 40. Johnson said this is a real problem in the school but there is little that can be done about it without more cooperation from parents. A report was made on the. KICK-OFF OF LEGISLATIVE ADVISORY UNIT (Continued from page 1) rather tell their legislator what they think he should do on a face to face basis, rather than through relatively impersonal correspondence." "I'm hopeful that people from the other municipalities and the unincorporated areas of the McHenry township and northern Nunda township will attend the Saturday morning McHenry city hall meeting. "v He hopes that those from Hebron, Richmond and Burton township will come to the Saturday afternoon meeting in Richmond. Wonder Lake will have its own meeting Wednesday, March 27, at 7:30 at the Company No. 1 Firehouse. Skinner pointed out that the first round of Legislative Advisory council meetings will reach every municipality with more than 1,000 people, "unless the village is next to another one with more than 1,000 people." In addition, he will meet with college students at the three junior colleges located within his district's boundaries. The one at McHenry County college is at noon Wednesday, March 27. "Everyone with an opinion or the desire to get involved in the legislative process is welcome," Skinner said. Piotrowski's auto rounded the curve in Ahrens' lane of traffic and Ahrens swerved to avoid impact but was sides wiped by the other auto which continued on without stopping. - When Piotrowski later reported the incident, he stated there had been a light snowfall at the time of the accident and he was wiping his window when the mishap occurred.

Poison Control Center Issues Special Warning Poison Prevention week, March 18-24, can be a good time to check whether potentially dangerous cleaning agents, dyes and pesticides are stored out of the reach of children in the household, according to Dr. K. S. Mohan, emergency medical services physician at McHenry hospital's emergency room and Poison Control coiter. "Our first concern should be with the young children, who put everything into their mouths," said Dr. Mohan. "Increasingly, chemicals are used in every day products which can be caustic and even fatal to children." He cited pesticides, the pod-jelly which- is used to develop instant pictures, and floor waxes. "Preventive measures are most important," Dr. Mohan continued. "It is necessary to insure the proper storage and use of pry-proof safety lids for chemicals, medicines, and agricultural products. "In addition, adults should also be warned against the hazardous use of chlorine, insecticides and other chemicals. Barbiturates and tranquilizers must also be used only according to prescription. In excessive dosage, every useful drug becomes a poison." The Poison Control center at McHenry hospital has enlisted the cooperation of surrounding industries in revealing the chemical composition of products their employees utilize, as well as their toxicity and their antidotes. "As a member of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, we are also recipients of the latest information on the symptoms and treatment of poisonings related to new products" Dr. Mohan said. "The adulteration of foods is an important source of poisonings. This can be brought about, no only by lack of sanitation, but by contact with vessels whose surface- is so worn that copper is exposed," warned Dr. Mohan, "The use of charcoal briquettes indooors can cause carbon monoxide ingestion. Passersby, as well as workers, can be exposed to chlorine gas." The * importance of identifying the substance which has been swallowed or inhaled should be emphasized, he stated. "Call your physician immediately and tell him what was ingested. If possible, take the container with you when you go to your physician or to a hospital. If you are too upset to drive safely or have no transportation, notify the police. They can drive you to your physician or poison control center." Not all poisons should be vomited. Dr. Mohan observed. Depending on whether the poison is caustic or not, the patient should either take an antidote to counteract the poison, or take an emitic. "The safest thing to do when you suspect that poison has been ingested is to call your physician," Dr. Mohan concluded.
