The club officers had indicated that the sheriff's men would be per­ mitted to use the range once it opened Cowlin said the EPA assured him they wouldn't file a violation complaint at this time. / Committee member, Dianne Easty, asked, "Where does it stand?" (the range situation). Cowlin admitted that he didn't know, but said they should have another test, which might prove they wAp not in violation. John Shay, director of Kmergency Services, suggested to the committee that they sponsor a resolution ? for the county board that would permit him to accumulate unexpended funds from one year to the next to permit the build up of an emergency fund for his department's use in an emergency. He said that the county treasurer had advised that a resolution would be ample authority. Committee member Charles Weingart questioned if the county should be accumulating unexpended funds when it was complaining of being short of money. Shay was assured by the committee that if an emergency should arise, the county could find other sources to fund the services required. Shay then withdrew his request.

FORMER McHENRY MAN DIES IN LAKE COUNTY COLLISION (Continued from page 1) front wheel of her car had dropped off the road surface. She swung back and forth on the road and then rolled over on the car's top. No injuries were reported. Patrick W. Epperson, 817 W. Southside avenue, McHenry, had bad luck eafly Sunday when his car was involved in two accidents, opce when he was driving the vehicle, and the second time when the damaged car was being towed in for repairs. According to reports made to the sheriff's department, Epperson said he was driving east on Barnard Mill road, just west of Route 31, about 12:30 a.m. and lost control on a curve. His car went off the south shoulder arid hit a utility pole. Epperson was bruised and shaken up in the crash and the Johnsburg Rescue squad took him to the McHenry Hospital for medical attention. At 2 a.m. Larry T. Hunt, 4214 Sioux lane, McHenry, had hitched up the disabled Ep­ person vehicle to his tow truck and was headed down River­ side road, while a car, driven by Donald J. Buchert, Route 1, PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1976 Walworth, Wi., was headed north. According to Buchert's statement, he was driving north at about 45 mph and when he passed the tow truck with the amber light flashing, he struck an unknown object, which turned out to be the towed vehicle. Hunt claimed that the Buchert car hit his tow. In­ vestigators at the accident scene noted gouge marks on the pavement that indicated the towed vehicle was in the north­ bound lane at the time of the collision. No injuries were reported in the second ac­ cident. A McHenry motorcyclist was injured Nov. 14, when he spilled his 'cycle during a left turn at the intersection of Route 120 and Draper road, according to deputies. Gordon J. Murray, 5418 Thelen drive, McHenry, was taken by the McHenry Rescue squad to McHenry hospital for treatment of cuts and abrasions. Murray told deputies that he was riding west on 120 and began a turn to go south on Draper when his Honda hit some loose gravel and he lost control. A good Samaritan suffered a damaged car for his pains in trying to assist a stuck motorist, sheriff's police reported Thursday. Ward R. Duel, 4907 West street, McHenry, told deputies he was north-bound on Ringwood road at 12:10 a.m. when he saw a car in the ditch just south of McCullom Lake road. He stopped to aid the victim, and determining he couldn't be of immediate assistance, he and the stranded driver walked up to his car, parked at the edge of the road, with the flashers on, to wait for a sheriff's car In the meantime, a vehicle driven by Richard Mueller, 4929 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, approached, and seeing the parked car, tried to brake. The road surface was slippery so Mueller's vehicle skidded and hit the Duel car The driver in the ditch was identified as David L. Dicker, 7615 South drive. Wonder Lake, who said he had been north­ bound on Ringwood aboutll:53 p.m. and a ccuth-bound car swerved, so he slowed down to avoid it, but lost control and ran off the road. His car hit the fence. The other car did not stop. No injuries were reported. Kathleen M. Abel, 618 N. East Blvd., McHenry, was ticketed for failing to yield on a left turn at the Chapel Hill-Bay road intersection Thursday, ac­ cording to sheriff's police, after her car collided with a vehicle driven by Robert A Warren, Route 3, Salem, Wi. Ms. Abel said she was driving south on Chapel Hill and was waiting for traffic to clear so she could make a left turn. She waited for one car to pass and then turned, not seeing the second Warren said he was traveling about 40 mph but was slowing for the intersection when the other car turned in front of him. He braked and swerved, but didn't avoid the collision. It wasn't a game of "chicken" but a sideswipe collision on Route 31 at the Bull Valley road intersection Friday indicated the drivers were not aware of where the highway center line was, according to sheriff's police. Wayne R. Utech, 7349 Kelley road, Rockford, driving a tractor-trailer combination, told deputies he was driving south on Route 31 and both vehicles seemed close to the center line when they collided. Chester H Grandt, 513 N. Front street, McHenry, north­ bound on 31, advised in­ vestigators that the truck seemed close to the center, so he gave way, but was hit anyway. No injuries were reported. No injuries were reported in an intersection collision at Lincoln road and Chapel Hill road early Friday, according to deputies. The drivers' statements indicated that a car driven by William S. Hancock, 4014 Riverview drive, McHenry, entered the intersection before a vehicle driven by Joseph Chodorowski, 1510 Val court, McHenry, had completely crossed Chapel Hill road. Hancock said he had stopped and then started up again when he saw no other vehicle, and struck the rear quarter of the other car. Another intersection accident was reported at 3:40 p.m. Nov. 11 at Barnard Mill and Ringwood roads in which cars driven by Joanne Simon, 7416 Seminole drive, Wonder Lake, and Doris M. Wagner, 2601 W. Ringwood road, McHenry, were involved. Ms. Simon told deputies she was driving west on Ringwood road and was in the middle of the intersection when her car was hit by the Wagner vehicle. No injuries or tickets were reported. Ice was blamed for a collision on Johnsburg road near Ivy lane, Thursday. Lori E. Khidirian, 4901 Roger street, McHenry, told in­ vestigators she was driving west on Johnsburg road at about 35 mph when another vehicle ahead of her began to slow. She braked, and her car slid sideways. Martin W. Phillips, 4406 N. Riverdale, McHenry, reported his vehicle was following the Khidirian car and when he saw her brake, he also applied his brakes.

In spite of some opposition to some educational changes in recent years, it is true that no other country of­ fers at public expense so ex­ tended an education program to so many children. K A F. MCC Computer System Tour Is Musical First MKT ALLOTMENT Illinois townships and road districts have been allotted $3,267,929.91, as their share of motor fuel tax paid into the State Treasury during Sep­ tember according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The allotment for McHenry county township and road district was $33,105.56. Don Bean, left, assistant director, and Manford Kistler, director of the Data Processing center, check a print-out from the IV Phase computer at MCC. A new computer system at McHenry County college is making the monumental job of student registration, employee payroll, and student records a matter of simply pushing a button. The IV Phase Mini computer which was installed last summer made telephone registration possible for 1,500 MCC students this Fall. Daily, the new computer allows college administrators to in­ stantly check a student's schedule, find out if his-her fees are paid, or get a list of all students enrolled in a par­ ticular course. The computer can be fed data Illinois Farm Support Illinois farms sold almost $4.6 billion worth of agricultural products in 1974 compared with $2.6 billion in 1969, according to a preliminary report of the 1974 Census of Agriculture released by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. Total production expenses were $2.8 billion in 1974 and $1.8 billion in 1969. O There were 115,059 farms in Illinois in 1974 occupying about 81 percent of the state's total land area. Places of less than 10 acres were counted as farms if sales of agricultural products amounted to or normally would amount to at least $250. Places of 10 acres or more were counted as farms if sales of agricultural products for the year amounted to or normally would amount to at least $50. This definition was first used in the 1959 Census of Agriculture. The value of sales from crops, including nursery products and hay, more than doubled between 1969 and 1974, increasing from $1.3 to $3.1 billion, while sales of livestock, poultry and their products accounted for $1.4 billion of 1974 sales, rising almost $158 million from 1969. The average size of an Illinois farm increased from 242 acres to 250 acres, while the number of farms with 500 acres or more rose from 12,662 to 15,001. The average value per acre climbed from $490 to $857. The acreage on which soybeans were harvested in­ creased from 6.4 to 8.1 million acres during 1969-74. While the total of farms raising soybeans grew slightly-- to 77,600, up from 77,300, production fell from 215 to 200 million bushels. Even though the number of farms ^harvesting wheat decreased from 44,000 to 38,000, acreage rose from 1.3 to 1.6 million, and production ex­ panded from 46 to 49 million bushels. Fewer farms har­ vested corn for grain in 1974 - 82,000 versus 95,000 -and OUTSTANDING STUDENTS NAMED TO "WHO'S WHO" (Continued from page 1) Who's Who, published by Educational Communications, Inc , Northbrook, is the largest high school recognition program in the country. Students are nominated for the volume by high school prin­ cipals and guidance counselors, national youth groups and churches, or by the publishing company based upon,students' performance in scholarship, award contests, or extra­ curricular activities. Final selection is determined on the basis of criteria which include high achievement in academics and leadership in school activities, athletics and community service. The tenth edition of Who's Who, published in five regional volumes, features 260,000 students, or 4 percent of the nation's 6,500,000 high school juniors and seniors. They represent 20,000 of the 24,000 public, private and parochial schools in the country. Who's Who students also compete for over $35,000 in scholarship awards and par­ ticipate in the publication's annual opinion poll of teen attitudes. The book is ^widely distributed on a complimentary basis to participating high schools, colleges and univer­ sities and public libraries throughout the country. "I acreage dropped from 9.5 to 9.4 million. Farms harvesting oats declined from 27,000 to 17,000 and oat acreage was nearly cut in half-to 378,000, down from 643,000. The number of cattle and calves decreased from 3.2 to 2.9 million, with beef cow in­ ventories growing from 771,000 to 873,000 head and milk cows declining from 292,000 to 237,000 .head. The number of farms having cattle and calves dropped from 64,000 to 55,000. Fewer farms raised hogs and pigs-31,000 versus 48,000-and hog and pig inventories fell trom 7.0 to 5.2 million. The preliminary report, ** 1974 Census of Agriculture: Illinois," contains more than 600 facts about agriculture in the State. The same items of information have also been published for each county having 10 or more farms. Copies for all States and published counties are for sale from the Subscriber Services Section (Publications) Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC. 20233, or through any Department of Commerce District office. from any of 11 terminals in different locations on the MCC campus at Route 14 and Lucas road in Crystal Lake. In addition to storing in­ formation on the students enrolled at MCC, the new computer and a smaller one in the college's data processing department are doing work for other school districts and non­ profit agencies in the McHenry County area. Manford Kistler, director of MCC's data processing center, said the computers have been used to handle a payroll for Prairie Grove Elementary School District 46, to tabulate results of a public opinion poll for State Senator Jack Schaffer, and to study salary schedules for 'North Junior High school in Crystal Lake. The computers also studied land uses for McHenry County planners. The study enables county officials to see how land is currently used both in the various townships and throughout the entire county. The computer study showed not only the number of acres used for farms, homes, or in- A musical first for McHenry county will take place Nov. 19 when Montini Middle school plays host to St. Mary's (Woodstock) elementary schoo) band. The McHenry appearance is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. St. Mary's will also be touring St. Joseph's school in Harvard. All three bands are under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mikus. Mikus is the musical director at Marian Central high school in Wood­ stock. Eventually, he intends to create a select band, chosen from members of McHenry County parochial school bands. du^try, but also gave locations, sail! Kistler. Tt^new IV Phase computer will make even more con­ tractual work for governmental agencies and non-profit organizations possible ac­ cording to Kistler. Students who registered this fall knew instantly if a course was f illed instead of having to wait two days, thanks to the new computer. The college also uses the computer to store its own payroll, keep track of expenditures and payments, and keep student records on everyone who has ever taken a course at MCC. The new computer system also has a built in security system, which allows em­ ployees who work with the computer to feed in or call out information only within their own job areas. For example, the system prevents the business office from access to students' grades while keeping other employees from viewing payroll records, Kistler ex­ plained. In addition to its work for MCC and other agencies, the small­ er NCR computer at the college is used for student instruction. MCC students enrolled in the college's eight different business data processing courses use the computer. It is also used by local high school students studying computer science at Woodstock District 200 H.S., Crystal Lake high school, McHenry high school and Cary Grove high school. St. Mary's is the first of the three schools to go on this reciprocal tour. Montini will be touring after the first of the year. Though the twenty-seven member band is only a year- and-a-half old, the young musicians have advanced to the point where Mikus feels the experience of performing for their peers will be an enriching one for the band and audience alike. The repertoire, which in­ cludes syncopated rock numbers as well as marches, is sure to strike a responsive chord in young audiences, Parents of Montini students are most welcome to attend. Details on the Montini Tour day and the select band program will be announced later. Already, Montini's one- year-old, thirty member band is helping to add a further musical dimension to McHenry. Rousing Jazz Concert Slated At Two Schools Jazz, America's own art form, and several theatre productions are being featured in McHenry county schools through the Artist-In-The- Schools program. The Ken Chaney Jazz en semble will combine historical and musical information with a rousing concert Friday, Nov.* IV. at Parkland Junior high, 1802 Ringwood road and at" McHenry Junior high, 3711 West Kane. Tracing the development of American music from African rhythms through field calls, the blues and various forms up to con­ temporary jazz-rock, this group shows how African and Latin American rhythms blended with European har­ monics to make a uniquely American music.
