"And the names -- names, names, "names. All spelled right, too, to my knowledge. Only one shade of doubt: was it CMncey or Chauncey? I know wen how to spell Guy, and Marjorie -- and Bill, Maxine, Mercedes, Loren, Zuke, Wallyi and I 'm sure I have Adele right! Locky is easy, and Sis. Then the memory starts to fog. And that, of course, is just the lack in ourselves that an anniversary issue is designed to fill. "I will look forward eagerly to the Plaindealer Bicentennial issue. Nostalgically, "Dyne Englen ' "111 W. AlisoSt. v "Osai, Calif. 93023 "P S. I have been keeping an eye on McHenry over the years by infrequent Plaindealer reading and following the fortunes of the well- remembered stores and other places of business - par­ ticularly all those Justens. And, as time goes by, I know that they have been keeping an eye on me too. "I 'll be on a trip east in the next month and hope to see McHenry, and hope to find you in at the time, and give warm regards to Earl Walsh, only one of the staff I remember. On a couple of occasions I have delivered impromptu, road­ side, lectures to police officers on how they should conduct themselves with Jack Walsh as shining example. But it never got me anywhere. The younger generation just will not listen. "The last time I saw McHenry I was reminded of Mark Twain's reaction to St. Louis after an absence of thirty years: 'The last time I saw the place I was eighteen years old and could have bought it for $8 million. It is the mistake of my life that 1 didn't. ' " SOLAR ENERGY GRANT SOUGHf (Continued From Page 1) petition of Stewart and Veronica Bauer, asking for a zoning reclassification of property presently zoned "F" Farming to "E-2" Estate district, to be divided into two equal tracts for residential use. The property is located in 'Piatakee Highlands, 1001 W. Broadway, containing 2.892 acres. An allotment to McHenry township and road district from Motor Fuel tax paid into the state treasury during July was announced at $3,295.39. This was the largest amount paid in the county, based on 74.18 miles. George W. Lowe, Jr., was appointed to the Com­ prehensive Health Planning agency, to serve until Dec. 1 of this year. Sales tax receipts for the month of May were announced at $56,765.97. In other business, judges of election were approved and individual township road levies were accepted. CHAIN-FOX DREDGING PROGRAM (Continued From Page 1) work with Guillou on the project. Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr., stated he wanted to make it clear that there is no doubt dredging at this time would not have any immediate flood control value. Senator Jack Schaffer suggested a preference for owning the dredging equipment rather than contracting an­ nually. Some mention has been made of establishing a per­ manent Authority which would be state funded. This Authority could own its own equipment, whereas the Commission could not because it is not a per­ manent unit. Skinner suggested a meeting with the Northern Illinois Plan Commission. Members will be invited to a regular meeting, where the two groups can coordinate their programs. News from European countries say that hair cuts for women are gett ing shorter and shorter . VOTE SCHOOL TAX LEVY (Continued From Page 1) accordance with the Illinois Committee for Full Funding which recently reaffirmed its commitment to full funding as the only avenue for property tax relief and the sole answer to preservation and growth of educational excellence. Full funding was listed as a desperate need for three basic reasons: 1 - Other sources of revenue, both federal and local, have not been growing appreciably and will probably provide less money state-wide during the coming school year than they did last year; 2 - The price of all school resources is rising at an in­ flationary rate at least equal to that of the typical household; 3 - The distribution of all recent increases in state aid has been very uneven because there is a transition in progress from one formula system to another, and because the new formula rests upon an in­ compatible local tax system. A resolution was passed, authorizing the levy of a .02 per cent tax for Special Education building purposes. The resolution pointed out that there are not sufficient funds available in any fund of District 15 for the erection of such facilities. It was disclosed that enrollment revisions will probably be necessary by next year. Dr. Boos particularly pointed to the comparison between Edgebrook and Hilltop schools, where the former has a much higher class average. In accordance with a request made at the previous meeting by Gary Lockwood, Supt. Robert Boos disclosed that reports made on the first and sixth days of the Fall term disclosed about the normal amount of absenteeism as other years. Lockwood had feared a large increase because of the complaints by some parents concerning the early opening of the term. Jack Adams, newly named assistant superintendent of educational services, an­ nounced fourteen committees that will be functioning during the year ahead. Meeting dates must be established for most of them. It was announced that discussion will be held with the city concerning granting an easement on school property, between the proposed sub­ division and shopping center, one to the north and the other to the south of Parkland school. Henry Nell and Lester Smith were named delegates, and Dorothy Vick as alternate, to attend the annual state meeting of school board members, to be held in November. A report on the opening of the school year was presented by Dr. Boos, focusing on the pre­ school conference. HEAD START CLASSES OPEN IN McHENRY (Continued From Page 1) in the town of McHenry.
