JOHNSBURG SCHOOL SELLS »1.7 MILLION IN BONDS (Continued from page 1) Illinois Capital Development, board funds to the Johnsburg high school project, the Johnsburg school board now plans to construct an auditorium as a component of the original high school con­ struction. The auditorium will be a multi-use facility, whereby approximately one-half of the teachers who are projected to team teach can hold large group instruction on a rotating basis. This means, for instance, that instead of showing a movie to one instructional class of thirty five times a day, a teacher can plan to show the same movie to 150 students once, thus saving time with no apparent loss of leacning. CITIZENS AID ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN AT LAKE (Continued from page 1) vironmental Protection agency, which is providing all financial support for the work.

Other studies are proceeding in Richmond, Spring Grove, Lakewood, Cary, Sunnyside, McCullom Lake, McHenry, Algonquin, McHenry Shores, Oakwood Hills and Crystal Lake. Wonder Lake is the only project being coordinated by a citizens' committee. Local governments are working with' NIPC on the other studies.

ZION CHURCH OBSERVES 100TH YEAR (Continuea irom page 1) tury, but this was discontinued in 1906. In 1920 English services were resumed but it was 1926 before it was voted to keep all congregational records in English. Sunday School was initiated in 1906. Between the years 1912 and 1927, a bell was given to the church by Immanuel church, Crystal Lake, and placed in the church steeple. It was this latter year that a decision was made to conduct all services in English. In December of 1945 there was a special meeting for the purpose of discussing the calling of a resident pastor, and the following May, the Rev. F.C. Pudsell was installed as pastor of Zion. A new electric organ was purchased that same year with the Men's club and Ladies aid holding fund raising events to help pay for it. The first parsonage became a reality in May of 1949 for $10,500. This home at 3709 John street later was purchased from Zion by the Norman Lobitz family, who presently reside there. On Oct. 9, 1949, Pastor Carl A. Lobitz, father of Norman Lobitz, was installed and began his many years of dedicated service. Ground breaking services were held Sept. 22, 1957, for the , present church, and the laying of the cornerstone was* ac­ complished May 25 of 1958, followed by dedication of the $175,000 building in August. An unique aspect of Zion's architecture is the rotunda. It is the main entrance to the sanctuary, the education facilities and church offices. The design grew from a need to ease the ascent of the entering congregation to the^"level of worship. ™ , The circular structure under a skylighted dome provides both stairs and a ramp to the narthex and nave. It effectively integrates the church's priestly and teaching functions into a single unit to serve more of the people's basic needs. Artistic mobiles and symbols of the faith and life of the church can be displayed in the rotunda's central space. Presently a plexiglasss form representing the Holy Spirit of God draws attention to the Power behind the congregation's message and ministry. The present parsonage at 3913 W. Grand avenue was purchased for $28,500 in Sep­ tember of 1968. A mortgage burning signifying the final payment of the church building took place early in 1970, less than twelve years after the church was built. The addition, consisting of 12,724 square feet, was dedicated in 1972. An important milestone occurred in 1971 when the women of Zion became eligible to become voting members. Fellowship opportunities in the church today include the Ladies aid, Friendship guild, Altar guild, Married Couples club, softball, bowling, dartball and pinochle. The groups are responsible for dinners, bazaars, rummage sales, nursing home projects and caroling, among others. Besides public services each Sunday at 7:45 and 10:30 a.m., the church offers numerous activities including Bible studies for different age groups and a 24-hour Dial-A-Devotion given in 1970 by the family of Martha Feltz. A very active Evangelism program includes both youth and adults. A Sunday School begun in 1907 with an enrollment of over 375, today requires almost thirty teachers. Youth are kept particularly busy and take the ministry of the Word to Fish Lake cam­ pgrounds each weekend during the summer season. As the centennial year comes to an end, a proud congregation looks ahead to continued progress and service to the McHenry community. (A picture page appears on page 13 of this issue) HARRISON TAX VOTE (Continued from page 1) education serves to compound the problem. Due to unsafe walking conditions, the board provides transportation for all students. The assessed valuation of the district is $11,500,00 and the currant enrollment at Harrison; is 496 students. In 1975-76, the Harrison board Jiad to issue full tax an-» ticipation warrants for one year. With the current budget, it will be necessary to issue warrants for two years. As an economy measure, the board has eliminated extra­ curricular activities and has reduced the teaching staff by three positions. Dr Don Sturm is the chairman of the referendum committee. All registered voters 18 years 0f age or older, residing in the district, are eligible to vote. Absentee ballots may be picked up at Harrison school office between 8 and 3 p.m. through Friday.

In Your Garden Whether you are starting a new lawn, or are repairing one that did not survive the rigors of this past season, Fall is the time to do it, and the sooner, the better. According to George Young, Extension adviser in McHenry county, University of Illinois Extension, turfgrass experts generally agree that Kentucky Bluegrass varieties are the best grasses for this climate. While many exotic types of grasses are often advertised as suitable, the bluegrasses can be expected to perform well year after year. Maximum growth of bluegrass occurs in the cool weather of Fall.Annual weeds which may start with the germinating seed will be killed off by the first frost allowing the bluegrass to fill in. Precipitation can normally be expected during Fall, reducing the need for watering. And planting conditions are usually better in fall than in spring when soils may be too muddy to allow an early start. If you have doubts about your ability to start a lawn from seeu, says Young, consider sodding. While sod can be in­ stalled at any time during the growing season, Fall planting offers the sod the same ad­ vantages it does to seeded lawn. Whether seeding or sodding,' good soil preparation is essential, Young emphasizes. Level your property carefully, so that water will run away from your home, and so there are no low spots where water will stand. Remove rocks or other debris. Then rototill to a depth of about six inches and rake smooth if necessary. Apply the seed with a spreader, or roll out the sod being careful to butt the edges closely. Roll with a light roller to firm the seed or sod into close contact with the soil, and soak. Seed must be kept moist until it germinates. This may mean several light sprinklings daily. Sod must be kept moist to prevent wilting until rooting has taken place. Once germination or rooting has occurred, decrease frequency and increase the amount of water to encourage deep rooting.

The money allocated was computed on the basis of mileage in the county.
