According to the National Wildlife federation, the racoon was the symbol for the Whig political party in the United States from 1831 to 1844. This is to inform the public that Johnsburg School District 12 board of education has employed the architectural firm of K-M Associates, Inc. from Elkhart, Ind., and Chicago. 111., as the architects for the new Johnsburg high school. This is the same ar chitectural firm the Crystal Lake elementary school has hired in conjunction with their recently passed referendum for construction to suit their building needs. In selecting this architectural firm, many firms were originally considered. The selection was finally made by the board of education from four final firms that appeared to "fit" between what ̂ the board, administration, teachers, and citizens' feasibility study had in mind as far as the proposed Johnsburg high school in question. The firm selected has an excellent record of expediating and the format utilizing involvement of different segments of the community was impressive. During the week of March 1 to 5, the architectural firm spent a week in Johnsburg working with the following groups in conjunction with nine subject areas for the proposed high school: Outside educational advice, Johnsburg teachers advice, citizen advice, board member advice, and Johnsburg administrative advice. This means that there were, in most cases, from ten to twelve people who worked with the architect reviewing the recommendations of the citizens' feasibility study data, new data generated by John sburg school administration, and-or outside educational personnel who contributed their services, giving 4nput as to the needs for the new high school. The architectural firm *f K- M Associates then spent a week digesting and refining this data and during the week of March 15 to 19 the architectural firm again returned to Johnsburg school with a team to begin drawing various schematic designs for the high school facility. Wednesday, March 17, further input from the different components of the original advisory group was again solicited and facilitated. This culminated with the presenta tion to the board of education on March 19 the schematic drawings for the new high school. Although the time line is quite tight, it is still the goal of the Johnsburg school board, administration, and architects to have the facility ready for occupancy for freshmen and sophomores in the Fall of 1977. To reiterate from a previous public release in area newspapaers, the site for the high school is on Ringwood road between Spring Grove and Wilmot roads on the former Harbecke farm property. The board has taken an option on 20 acres of land with the option to purchase from 10 to 20 more acres should the need arise in ihe future. The Johnsburg school ad ministration and board acknowledge involvement of some local high school teacher citizens who live in the John sburg school district but who teach in other school districts. Their contribution and input into the study was extremely helpful. Special note is Ron Marks. Crystal Lake high school; Ms. Jackie Smith, McHenry high school; Barry Lamb, McHenry County SEDOM; Ray Broderick, vocational educational coor dinator, Rolling Meadows high school; Martin Sobczak, McHenry high school; and Bill Dobbs, Associate principal, McHenry high) school high school personnel. Consultants from the newly constructed high school at Dundee (Jacobs) and Lake Park high school in Roselle added valuable input to the project. On Sunday, Feb, i 29, the district utilized one of the school busses to visit the dedication and open house at the newly constructed Lake Park high school. Ap proximately twenty people rode the bus to Lake Park, and another twenty citizens and-or teachers drove private cars to visit Lake Park high school. In addition to the above mentioned visitations, John sburg school teachers, ad ministrators and board members have visited many other new high schools in the northern Illinois area, and the Building and Grounds com mittee of the board of education spent two weekends visiting high schools in not only Illinois, but Indiana and Michigan. Before the final architectural firm was chosen, architectural firms flew the board members to these new high schools at no expense to the district, to view recent new high school con struction of their firms. The board also hired Dr. Simpson of Northern Illinois university to assist on a limited basis in an advisory and con sultant capacity.' Working in conjunction with Dr. Duane Andreas, Johnsburg school superintendent, a prototype of the high school curricular organization has been developed. Dr. Andreas and Kenneth Falkinhanv John sburg school assistant superintendent in charge of Business Affairs, have also been visiting other high schools in the northern Illinois area As a result of their visitations, advice and input from the following high schools have been a component of the planning to date: Stevenson, Westmont. Harvard, Joliet, Arlington Heights. Buffalo Grove. Waubonsee. and Bergan and Academic high school in Peoria. / The school hasut Hired some free education advice in certain curricular areas from Northern Illinois university, and much free advice from the Illinois office of education. Last but not least, the present Johnsburg teachers are working diligently to offer suggestions and advice to the administration and board as to how the unique Johnsburg school teaching methods, strategies, and concepts can best be articulated to the new" Johnsburg high school building utilizing the concept that "form follows function". Other news from Johnsburg School District 12 is that at the regularly scheduled Johnsburg school board meeting March 9, the entire administrative team was re-employed for the next school year. Johnsburg school's business manager, Kenneth Falkinham, was given the title of assistant superintendent in charge of Business Affairs, and was designated as the "number two" man in authority in the district behind Dr. Andreas. Even though his title relates to business affairs, it is viewed that Falkinham, in the future, will have some tasks that would relate to other areas also, as determined and needed by the superintendent.

Rte. 120 McHenty, Illinois 385-4100 In 1975, pesticides and her bicides necessary to the production of corn and soybeans, were reported stolen from farmers and dealers in nearly every county in Illinois Captain Gerald Schilling, commander of the Illinois State Police Criminal Investigatiosn bureau, reports that over $500,000 worth of agri- chemicals were stolen in Illinois last year That accounts for the thefts that " were reported Schilling said. "We think that the $500,000 figure is relistic but may be low because many thefts are never reported to the police " Most manufacturers of farm chemicals have developed identification systems to aid law enforcement officials in tracing stolen chemicals "Identification systems help." said Schilling, "but what we really need is theft prevention through better security of storage facilities and the cooperation of farmers and dealers in reporting thefts or attempted thefts." State Police Sergeant Robert D Lamb Criminal In vestigation bureau zone supervisor at Elgin, has suggested ways that area farmers and dealers can help First, keep areas where chemicals are stored well lighted. Most burglaries occur under the cover of darkness - don't make the thief's job easy. Second, invest in a good quality physical security device - cheap locks are child's play for burglars Good quality locks that are hard to com-, promise take more time to open and may be enough to discourage a thief Third. farmers. should organize neighborhood watch programs If you see strange vehicles in a neighbor s driveway, note the vehicle type, color, make and if possible, the license number A license number written in the dust on your tractor will keep you from forgetting it until you can transcribe it on paper Even though you don't see anything taken, the in formation may be valuable later since burglars will often case a farmer's buildings for entry at a later time Fourth. farmers should be wary of unrealistic bargains on agricultural chemicals Because of the continuing scarcity of these products, dealers don't have to sell door to-door or at cut-rate prices - buy only from established dealers. Fifth, don't advertise the location of stored chemicals by leaving doors to a storage building open "Most important, call us," said Sergeant Lamb. "We need help from the public if we are to make any real headway against this or any other type of criminal activity. Call us collect at 312-742-3553".

Jim Lucas, county executive director. McHenry county ASCS office reported. "Loan rates for wheat and feed grains, and a reinstated loan program for soybeans were also announced," Lucas said. Target prices for 1976 are: wheat. $2 29 per bushel: corn, $1.25; barley. $1 02; oats. $ .60. rye $1.00; soybeans. $2 50; and sorghum. $2.13 per hundred weight. "Provisions of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 require that target prices for the 1976 crop be adjusted upward from 1975 levels to reflect increased production costs during 1975," Lucas said He added that loan levels were adjusted upward from minimum levels, reflecting approximately the same percentage increases made in target prices "Target prices and loan rates provide a guaranteed support base while adhering to the principle of reliance on the marketplace for farm income," Lucas said. He explained that there was no loan program in effect for soybeans in 1975. Anniversary loans which were implemented for 1975-crop grains will be continued for 1976-crop grains and also included in the soybean loan program. "Loans offer agricultural producers an opportunity to obtain cash and hold their crops for later sale and to even out marketings," Lucas said. The interest rate for 1976 commodity loans, and on storage facility and drying equipment loans will remain at the current level of 74 percent Target prices are used to determine payments made to producers on participating farms when the higher of the national average market price for the first five months of the marketing year, or the loan rate is less than the established target price forythe particular commodity Target prices are also used Up" determine payments for these crops under disaster provisions of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act Disaster payments, at a rate of not less than one third of the target price for each crop, will be paid to eligible producers Son Jesus Christ, to take your guilt and pollution and punish ment on Himself Because you've tuned out this wonderful news, you don't know that a life of freedom and purpose and happiness and service is available to those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior Modern" "But they mocked the messengers of God. and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wi^ath of the lx>rd arose against His people, till there was no remedy " II Chronicles M 16 (About COO B C > Wise" "He that rejecteth me. and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him the. word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day (John 12 Get turned on' "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God Whatsoever is horn of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (I John 5:1.4) "For God so Loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life " (John 3 1«> P U N C H L I N E O F I H E W E E K &RAMPS THE YJORLV /SNT ANY PlFFEfcENT- WE JOST hlAve Better, NEWS COVERAGE? who are prevented from planting a crop or whose yields are substantially reduced due to a natural disaster REGULAR OR DIET PEPSI COLA 2% MILK 816 0 Z.
