In other action. City Clerk Barbara Gilpin reported that the city clerk's office will now- open at 9a m Saturday, rather than 8am as it presently does. Mrs Gilpin stated that persons who come into the office during the week before 9 a.m. generally want someone in the water and sewer department, a department that is closed on Saturday. The city clerk's office will still open at 8 a m on week­ days. Mrs Gilpin also reported that the city has $11.(XX) in anti­ recession funds which must be spent before the end of June The Council voted unanimously to allocate $7,000 of the total toward paying salaries for • summer « em­ ployees. The other $4,000 will go toward purchasing equipment for the city clerk's office The City Council also granted approval to the Purchasing committee to buy several items for the clerk's office Mrs Gilpin had requested four calculators, two filing cabinets and one typewriter table. "It's the unanimous feeling of the committee to make these purchases." Purchasing committee chairman George Harker said "All of this is necessary and required for the efficient operation of the of­ fice " The city has also received specifications from the police department on what the police officers desire in new police cars It is the City Council's policy to open the bidding for the -purchase of police cars to all car dealers in the city. However. one of the specifications is a request for a car with a wheel base of 121 inches "This effectively shuts out some car dealers in town." Harker noted "Ford is the only- one who could bid on it. "It doesn't seem quite ethical to set up a set of specifications that effectively shut out certain dealers," Harker added. The aldermen agreed that it indeed wasn't fair, and set up an alternative The city will ask for two bids from each dealer in the city. One bid will be for a car with a minimum 116 inch wheel base, and the other will be for one with identical specifications except for a smaller wheel base. The Council unanimously approved that suggestion. Mayor Joseph Stanek ex­ plained to the aldermen the present situation concerning Jake's Dead End lounge.

Ekeroth admitted some of his ideas, which included boat docking under the Elm street bridge, were extraordinary. However, the Council did ap­ pear interested in some of his proposals, which include dredging the creek to restore a satisfactory waterflow. Ekeroth's appearance was most noteworthy because he was not on the evening's agenda, but was recognized b^ - Mayor Stanek Alderman LaVerne Hromec expressed displeasure with tht mayor for allowing Ekeroth time to speak without being on the agenda, and without Council approval '4,500 FOR SENIOR CITIZENS (Continued from page 1) "Tennis courts I love," Datz said. "But, $40,000 for a com­ munity center and $10,000 for tennis courts...I think we're going too far that way." (Note: Pepping's original proposal called for $40,000 for a community center. The Council finally decided on a $35,000 figure.) "I marked the tennis courts ($10,000) too high only because we do have school facilities...."Smith said. Alderman Hromec did have a motion to allocate $15,000 for traffic relief defeated in a close vote However, a motion to allocate $10,000 passed unanimously. The $35.(XX) allocated to a community centei is the initial payment of a continuing commitment of at UiSt $25,(XX) per year toward the con­ struction of the community center ;n Petersen park The re\ v*nue sharing funds which vere distributed Monday night .s for a period which ends Sept.30.

A McHenry woman was arrested and charged with driving while her license was revoked, after she was stopped by county police Sunday af­ ternoon at the intersection of Ht. 120 and River road Marietta Foley. 4301 E Prairie, was released on $1,000 bond for an April 18 court ap­ pearance, after her arrest at 2:30 p.m. Police apparently stopped the Foley auto because of ex­ cessive muffler noise It was at that time that she was arrested for having a revoked license Conservation Jloard Purchases Option On Nunda Land The board of trustees of the McHenry County Conservation district, at their regular meeting held March 17, an nounced the purchase of an option from the McHenry State bank.

The option price of the land in question is $600 per acre and the area is part of the Stickney Run-Fox River Conservation area. Before taking any action on the exercise of this option, the trustees will provide at least two weeks public notice and at that time disclose the beneficiary of the trust Fine Missionary Film Showing Set March 27 Peace Child, a masterful film of primitive life in the jungles of Irian Jaya, will be shown March 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Chain O'Lakes Evangelical Covenant church, 4815 N. Wilmot road, McHenry. Filmed in the unspoiled jungles of what was formerly Dutch New Guinea, Peace Child documents the startling reaction of stone-age people to the message of the Gospel of Christ. Missionaries Don and Carol Richardson respond to the call of God to work among these people. After careful preparation and a 10,000-mile journey, they find themselves in the shadows and sunlight of a rain forest inhabited by primitive head hunters. Painstakingly, they learn the language but are shocked when their account - of Judas' betrayal of Jesus makes him a 1 hero to people whose highest attribute is to be masters of treachery. An inter-tribal war continues until a warring chief offers his son as the means of bringing lasting peace. The war ends and a primitive tribal custom . makes the gospel un­ derstandable. Dr. Warren Wiersbe, senior minister of the world famous Moody Memorial church in Chicago, after previewing Peace Child said, "This has to be the finest missionary film I have seen the last ten years."
