I have been in­ formed that if you come directly out of the water and dry off thoroughly, you will not be bothered by the itch, because the parasites do not penatrate wet skin. So, swim if you like, just dry off right away. BIRTHDAYS - ANNIVERSARIES Only two birthdays this week, but lots and lots of an­ niversaries.

Bowling recently noted that his department has ordered the payment of almost $300 thousand in back pay to wage earners under the Illinois Minimum Wage law so far this year. This amount is triple the amount paid under the same program last year. "The back wages and overtime payments in most cases are not for large amounts," Bowling said. "But, when we are talking about someone earning less than the Illinois minimum wage of $2.30 an hour, every cent is im­ portant." The Department of Labor orders payment of back wages when employers do not meet minimum wage stan­ dards. mfik .existing fer atod new .and n ijects^ Will*# & le July 1 as the "This will be the emphasis of Department of Transportation projects statewide," Rep.

"With the continuation of projects begun during the fiscal year that's ending, the new projects mean that we have a comprehensive program to see our streets and roads become safe," Rep. Waddell said. Recent road project developments include the May 16 contract letting on the im­ provements to the intersection of Illinois 120 and Chapel Hill road. "The contract went to the low bidders, Liberty Asphalt corporation of Grayslake," Rep. Waddell said. "The im­ provements include chan­ nelization of the intersection with a new concrete base, concrete resurfacing, and the modernization of existing traffic signals, all ap­ proximately three-fourths mile east of McHenry. The cost of the project is over $112,000." Oldest Tune Scholars at the University of California have produced a 3,400- year old record.

R e m e m b e r w h e n . . - Potawatomi Indians used what is now White Oaks Bay as a village site. R e m e m b e r w h e n . . o u r lakebed was a pasture with cows contentedly grazing. R e m e m b e r w h e n . . i n January, 1929, it was an­ nounced that an artificial lake was to be built by a syndicate at Barnard's Mill. Remember when..in May, 1929, two steam shovels began digging into the clay which was to form the dike for the Wonder Lake dam. Remember when..in October, 1929, the dam was completed and Wonder Lake began to fill with water. R e m e m b e r w h e n . . o n February 22, 1930, the first water went over the dam. Remember when..in the spring of 1930, movies of the construction of Wonder Lake, from the first engineering Surveys to the completed lake, were shown at McHenry high school and the Woodstock Opera House. Do you realize that we soon will celebrate Wonder Lake's fiftieth birthday? Two of our Wonder Lake citizens who were for the most part responsible for the very successful bicentennial fourth of July celebration at the lake, have thought ahead to 1979 and what this year will mean to our community. Janet Bell and Pat Seaver would like to hear from anyone who is interested in our past, a time to think about the needs of our future and a time for celebration because of what we are now. Please give it some thought and contact Janet or Pat with your ideas and offers of help.

Physical Exams For MCHS Students entering the ninth grade this coming August are urged to make medical ap­ pointments now for physical examinations. The Illinois School code, Section 27-8, requires that all students must present written evidence of having completed a physical examination upon entrance into the ninth grade or upon entering the district, if prior compliance has not been met. Parents should ask their physician to record all im­ munizations given under his supervision. If the child has received immunizations from another source, .parents should being these records to the physician for inclusion on the school physical. The district cannot consider that a child meets entrance requirements unless the immunization records are complete. Since most children were immunized for diptheria and tetanus before starting first grade, they will require a booster immunization for these diseases. Free im­ munizations may be obtained through the McHenry County Health department in Wood­ stock. Parents are encouraged to make appointments as early as possible this summer if they have not done so already. By making appointments as early as possible, parents will help area physicians in scheduling the thousands of children who will need physical examinations this year. Parents who cannot afford a physical should contact the school. Children entering the ninth grade will not be permitted to attend classes in the fall unless they have written evidence of having completed the examination. The record of examination must be submitted on a state approved physical examination form and dated no earlier than six months prior to registration. Forms were given to students at the local elementary schools. Forms are also available upon request from McHenry high - East. The physical and emergency forms should be turned in to the registrar at East Campus as soon as completed. These forms must be received by Aug. 1, to insure the proper enrollment of the youngster. It is the responsibility of the transfer student to have a freshman physical or a more recent physical on file in the Nurse's office. Thirty days are allowed for out-of-state students to have the physical form transferred or to have a physical done. Fifteen days are allowed for Illinois transfer students to have a physical on file. The early summer is an ideal time to obtain physical examinations for all sports -- girls and boys. No student will be allowed to participate in a sport, game, or practice until he or she has presented the school with a completed physical examination. This is good for one calendar year. The incoming ninth grade physical is acceptable for athletics, but all upper class student athletes should obtain last year's athletic physical card (or a new card) from the athletic director to present to their physician for a physical examination. * * * * Hint to public speak­ ers: profanity does not im­ prove oratory. ART FAIR There will be many phases of the art world introduced to the public at the Mundelein Art league's fifteenth annual Art Fair to be held Sunday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the parking lots at Seymour and Hawley avenues, Mundelein. Over 100 spaces have been alloted to both professional and amateur artists from throughout the states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and also from the state of Florida. The McCullom Lake village board met Tuesday, June 21, for what was to be a lengthy meeting. Present were the village attorney, Mr. Baker, Mr. Newley, attorney for the Mass annexation, and Mr. Chadwick, our accountant. The financial statement was presented by Mr. Chadwick, which showed the village in good, sound financial shape. Mr. Newley asked some questions pertaining to the annexation of the Mass property to our village, and answered a few questions. Sgt. Ralph Regner of our police force resigned at Tuesday's meeting. For the time being, no one will be hired to replace him. It was announced that a meeting between the Mass people and McCullom Lake's planning commission will be held in the near future, and that the meeting will be open to the public. It was noted that some village residents have not been keeping their yards mowed, and letters will be sent to these people, urging them to clean up their yards. If the weeds get too high, there are lots more bugs, and it is also very unsightly. Mr. Bak^fr is starting work on McCullom Lake's ordinance book, which the board, with his help, hopes to update in the very near future. Federal subsidies will be available in a short time for the CEDA program, a work force program sponsored by the government. Watch the column for further news on this.
