15 QTHE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER ĵf SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875 15 VOLUME 99 NUMBER 9 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974 18 PAGES FIFTEEN CENTS 9* Fire Destroys Barn This large metal barn on one of the Northern Pump farms, located at the southeast corner of Ringwood and McCullom Lake roads, was destroyed by a fire of undetermined origin in the early hours of A fire otundetermined origin which broke out in a large metal barn on the Northern Pump farm, southeast corner of Ringwood and McCullom Lake roads, resulted in damage estimated in excess of $40,000. The building was completely destroyed. The Gary Tickner family resides on the farm. Fire Chief Glenn Peterson said he received the alarm at 3:30 Sunday morning, Sept. 1. Upon arrival of Companies I and II, the structure was entirely engulfed in flames and it was impossible to do more than save a small barn nearby. Members of the family said they heard an explosion between 2:15 and 2:30 a.m. They got up and looked out, but could find nothing amiss and so returned to bed. About an hour later they were awakened bv the blowing of horns by passersby attracting their attention to the fire. By that time the flames had spread throughout the barn. The building was used for storage and contained 100 tons of hay and a new grain wagon. The barn, built several years ago to replace another which had burned, was worth $22,000 at that time. Peterson said the two McHenry companies were assisted by Companies I and II of Wonder Lake. Firemen remained on the scene until 6:30 a.m. Child Care Musin and Meanderin' First announcements have gone out concerning McHenry's 1974 Trade Fair, the third such event held locally.

Anyone with questions need only contact Ann Zeller, Ken Sheridan, George Zinke, Don Daley, Frank Colomer or Dick Nethaway. Set aside one of the three dates to attend this impressive event - a showcase of McHenry! Approve Health Unit For Medichek Program It was good news when a major grocery chain recently announced it would put an end to the practice of constant markups of merchandise in its retail stores. New items would be increased as they arrived, officials said, but they would not mark up items on the shelf as soon as wholesale prices increases were announced. The buying public would be grateful if every grocery chain in the country would adopt this system. In recent months, many stores have been known to mark up shelf items as soon as wholesale prices increase, although the outlet didn't pay the increased price for the item on the shelf. (Continued on page 16) The McHenry County Health department has been approved to participate in a well child care program for public aid recipients. The program, called Medichek, is sponsored jointly by the Illinois Departments of Public Aid and Public Health. Medichek provides payment for visits to physicians and dentists for regular medical and dental check-ups, certain tests, and immunizations that protect against measles, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus (lock jaw). Those eligible for Medichek services are infants, from birth to young people through age 20, whose names appear on a public aid green medical card. The services are available at the McHenry County Health department, 2200 North Seminary avenue, Woodstock, or any other clinic in the area approved to provide the services. Physicians or dentists who accept the Department of Public Aid green medical card Announce School Policy Changes Discontinue Lunch Time Open Campus Sunday morning. McHenry firemen are shown on the scene just before the walls fell. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD There will be no open campus during lunch mods at West campus next fall. This was among many recom­ mendations for policy and procedural changes approved by the District 156 school board in a recent meeting Among other areas of change were attendance, tardiness and smoking. Change in the lunch mod freedom was made because too many students were taking advantage of combining their lunch hour with independent study time to leave the campus. All students are required to be in attendance at school about 83 per cent of the time each semester. This means that any student absent more than fourteen accumulative days will be dropped because of excessive absence for the remainder of the semester providing all avenues to correct the attendance problem prove to be ineffective, including parent conference. The reason for new strictness was a 10 to 15 per cent student absenteeism record of fifteen days per semester last year. A recommendation will be made this month on cutting classes. Tardiness was another area of policy tightening The administration and faculty members made their recommendation that five tardies each semester will be considered the limit for any reason. After that it will be considered a matter necessary for disciplinary action. Any tardiness in excess of five per semester will result in loss of independent study time up to and including the tenth tardy. After that a student may be dropped from school for the remainder of the semester. An outside student smoking area is located at one of the exits of the building and this will be faculty supervised. Those found smoking in any other area at any time, including the parking lots, will be subject to disciplinary action. Penalties were set for the number of offenses. Board Member Edward Neumann observed that some students enjoy being suspended for a few days and suggested that reprimands might be better handled within the school, such as writing reports on the effects of smoking. There was general agreement arhong the board. Another change concerns faculty supervision, which will no longer be in the instructional materials center. Supervision in the future will be moved to the hallways, exits, smoking area, commons and cafeteria. Several problems, including that of unwanted guests and visitors with no purpose on campus, may be solved by another procedural change. The access road to the back of the building will be blocked off by a chain and lock to prevent student and visitor traffic. In the future, an educatiori assistant will be provided Ut* constantly police the exterior of£ the building, parking lots*> frontage road and for traffic* control. Students and faculty* members will have special*, stickers on their cars, and only£ these autos will be allowed u|* the lot. A study is being made* on the feasibility of towing away illegally parked cars. Action was taken to allOwf students to leave campus following their last scheduled' class or commitment providing it is later than 1:30 p.m. X* parent permission slip will be necessary for this privilege. Cary Woman Dies In Labor Day Weekend Head-On Crash may also participate in the program.
