Patty, a 17- year-old girl from Peru, has been visiting in the home of the Donald Massheimers, 2811 N. Ma niton, McHenry, for the past ten weeks under thfe American Youth Exchange (AYE) program. It is the second year East campus has participated in this exchange. Patty, who has had only one year of English in her native country, was sufficiently fluent to say that she had enjoyed her visit her very much and hopes some day to return. She was scheduled to start her long return trip home Fridav of this week. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Jacquelyn S. Smith of McHenry East campus, chairman of the McHenry County Youth Service Bureau committee, has taken action protesting a reversal of this committee's decision con­ cerning a grant for McHenry county. Her letter was directed to Dr. David Fogel, executive director of the Ill inois Law Enforcement commission in Springfield, who will attend a full commission meeting of the ILEC March 21 in Belleville. Ms. Smith reminded Dr. Fogel of an October, 1974, allocation by the ILEC com­ mittee of $400,000 to metropolitan Youth Service bureaus as the No. 1 priority. Last week the committee reversed this decision. Ms. Smith said that action was taken with full recognition that McHenry county, among others, was encouraged-by the earlier decision to submit a grant for a McHenry County- wide Youth Service bureau. Ms. Smith pointed out that the county Steering committee has been actively working on researching the needs of the county and developing this grant proposal since August of 1973. Major agencies existing in the county are represented on the committee and there has been police representation and involvement since last fall . The county chairman quotes in her letter the Executive Summary Reports of the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals from the United Stales Department of Justice. It reads, "the highest attention must be given to preventing juvenile delinquency, to minimizing the involvement of young offenders in the juvenile and criminal justice system, and to reintegrating delinquents and young of­ fenders into (he community." Further, it s tates thai by 1983 the rate of delinquency cases coming before the courts that would be crimes if committed by adults, should be cut fo half the 1973 rate. The local teacher points out in her letter seeking reversal of the allocation decision, that unless monies are made available to the Youth Service bureau for prevention and diversion, it will be impossible to cut the rate of delinquency in half by the 1983 date. SCHOOL FILING DEADLINE Considerable interest has been evidenced in the April 12 McHenry public school board elections. With (he deadline for fil ing Friday, March 21, eight persons have filed to fil l four vacancies on the District 156 and 15 boards. It was interesting this week to hear the appraisal by the Taxpayers ' Federation of Ill inois on Governor Walker 's $4.1 bill ion bond issue to create jobs to put people back to work in the state. Financing projects through bonds is not free, as the "watch dog" federation points out. When the state sells bonds, it is borrowing money from lenders just as any citizen would do, and this loan must be repaid with interest. The debt service cost has been estimated at $7 million in fiscal 1975, $78 million the next year, rising to $283 million in fiscal 1979. It would start decreasing gradually after fiscal 1980. Looking at a possible tax increase caused by the bond program, the Federation says maybe not for 1976, but the word is, "Watch out in fiscal 1977 when the State 's General fund will have lit t le or no balance in i t". Will the bond program, or a major portion of it pass? The Federation says yes, because there is (or will be) a piece of the pie for each legislative district -- a lake, a road, a school, etc. And this bears out what this column was talking about last Friday. Everybody is looking to his own particular priority, for which no amount is too much to pay. This t ime there's something for everybody and all those "everybodies" are expected to give support. Next Saturday night when the Easter Seal Telethon is broadcast over Channel 44, two local girls will be doing their best to raise funds for this worthy cause. They are Gwen Reinboldt of McHenry and Mara Gutekunst of Wonder Lake. Jerry G. Bishop will m.c. the telethon,which starts at 10 p.m. March 22 and continues until 6 o'clock the following evening. Gwen and Mara will assist 'on the telephone. Their invitations came from Miss Linda Gladstone, a former McHenry high school teacher who is very closely concerned with the telethon and spending much time in behalf of i ts success. Drivers along Riverside drive had better note the unofficial designation of a new path - just for the season - known as Duck Lane. It 's Spring, and the city's large duck population believes this t ime of year was created just for them. They wander aimlessly across the street near the stop sign at the beach, seemingly well aware that this particular spot is safest. We hope drivers are alert to their presence. K.A .F Offer Three High School Proposals For Johns burg The District 12 Feasibili ty Study committee, in meeting Monday to hear final reports of sub-committees, heard the Facili ty committee and the Finance committee report that they had submitted three high school building proposals, to be considered by the Committee of Ten. Proposals submitted for consideration included: (1) - a high school building supported by state funds using Capital D e v e l o p m e n t b o a r d specifications and recom­ mendations; (2) - developing the present Ringwood structure and site into a high school facili ty, expanding as necessary to accommodate the high school student enrollment; (3) secure a separate site and construct a facili ty separate from present district facili t ies, using specifications deter­ mined by comparison of schools visited by I he Facili t ies committee. In (he opinion of the com­ mittee members involved in fhe projected high school con­ struction costs, alternate building proposals 2 and 3 could be constructed with "projected bonding power and monies received from division of assets.

At that t ime, she and Alderman Jerome Rogers made a motion to table discussion and action on put- chasing squad cars until all alderman were present. Eventually fhe vote was taken, and that action was confirmed again this week No legal justification could he found by City Attorney Bernard Narusis to substantiate Aldermen Hromec and Rogers ' contention that any two aldermen can move to table action until the next meeting. Alderman Hromec said she had obtained her information from Illinois Revised Statutes but did not have the book with her Therefore, a vote to purchase the squad cars from Buss Ford at a price of $3,675 each was made and passed by a vote of 5 fo 2.

The show will again be held at Parkland school June 20, 21 and 22 Further special events will be announced nearer the opening. One of the pet projects the committee is undertaking is fhe fask of making a new sign for the grounds. High winds prior to the opening of fhe fair last year did great damage to the traditional sign, making it impossible to repair.

Attorney Narusis explained that the two aldermen's motion to table was not in l ine with the statute quoted A motion to table is a recognized parliamentary motion called for by Roberts Rules of Orders, he said "This statute in question is another matter It is not a motion to table It is an entirely unique procedure. It is a motion to defer committee action," Narusis explained to the Council He advised Mayor Stanek, "Since the two aldermen specifically referred to a statute and it 's obvious they had this statute in mind, and although the wording may not have been in l ine with the statute, it probably was the spirit of their motion." Therefore, Mayor Sfanek decided to take another vote on t h e m a t t e r w h e n t h e f u l l Council was present. It was explained that the previous vote would have been voided if the motion were proper but it was not in l ine with the statute. "The procedure we followed was 100 percent legal and proper," Stanek pointed out "Legally we could have just ordered those cars, but in the interest of fair play and so that no accusations of pressure politics or the like could be made, I approached Buss Ford and asked Buss to bear with us until the matter could be ironed out af this meeting and he agreed," Stanek explained. A f t e r A l d e r m a n P e p p i n g received clarification on some points in the discussion on servicing squad cars. Alder­ man James Wegener made a motion to ratify the motion to purchase squad cars from Buss passed at the March 3 meeting. The motion passed by a 6 to 2 vote, the only negative votes again being cast by Rogers and Hromec. Narusis reiterated that there is a difference between a motion to table and "this kind of thing' ' regarding the statute In respect to the future, he cautioned alderman to call i t deferment of action on a committee report rather than a motion to table.

Since the county government began working out agreements '.vith various cities and villages earlier this year to assume responsibility for stray dogs, the problem has escalated. Progress has been made since last week's County board meeting report when Charles Weingart, chairman of the Health and Agriculture committee, said negotiations were under way to lease the Harwood Kennels on Raffel road near Woodstock as a place to take the stray dogs. Weingart said Saturday that tentative arrangements are being worked out with the owner on a lease arrangement, but no contracts have been signed pending a review of the developments by State's Attorney William Cowlin. The kennel has space for thirty-eight dogs and leasing would avoid the cost and the time-consuming procedure of whipping serious problems caused by developing a suitable building program. Dr. J.V.
