McHENRY TO HOST EDUCATION FORUM OCT. 11 (Continued from page 1) committee must recommend, at least every four years such additions to, or modifications of, the comprehensive plan as it has found necessary, or desirable to improve the educational programs for handicapped children residing in the county. Participation of parents and community agencies providing services to handicapped children at the three public forums is necessary so that the County Advisory committee can perform the duties of the committee mandated by law. The present Special Education Advisory committee was appointed by Edward W. Hall, regional superintendent of schools, McHenry county, last November. Committee members include Mrs. Catherine Alvary, McHenry. Anyone wishing to com­ municate with the committee in ways other than these forums can contact Hall at McHenry County courthouse, Woodstock. He will supply forms for parent input to these public forums. The McHenry County Special Education Advisory committee meets on a bi-monthly basis the second Tuesday of the month. The general public is invited and urged to attend these meetings. Meetings are held in Room 108 of the McHenry County courthouse. BUILDING MATERIALS STOLEN (Continued from paje 1) auto was parked at the Sir Robert inn, Rt. 14 in Crystal Lake, someone threw a rock, shattering the rear window of the vehicle. A window of a car owned by Larry Anderson of 221 North boulevard, McHenry, was broken by vandals one night last week.

Anderson reported that while his car was parked at his residence, someone broke a side window, apparently through use of an air rifle. Werner Schilling of 3102 Chapel Hill road in McHenry reported that someone suc­ ceeded in gaining entry to his locked auto while it was parked in his driveway, stealing his CB radio. Police also noted the recovery of two stolen vehicles during the week, although neither was taken from a local resident. The first was found in a field at Rt. 12 and Sunset road in Spring Grove, and was reported stolen in Chicago. There was damage to the left side of the vehicle. The other was found along Ridge road in McHenry. The vehicle was , owned by a Libertyville resident, and had been reported stolen in Mun- delein. PRICE OF GASOLINE-UP, UP & AWAY ^ (Continued from pige 1) small margin of profit, that very few remain in business very long. "Only Koepke (Koepke's Standard) is getting the price he should," Hester added, "and he's unique. Standard has such a good credit card organization that I'd venture tp guess that half his business is credit card. Others don't have that kind of acceptance." Hester indicated that the price of gasoline is dependent on many factors. Certainly the fact that McHenry has more gas stations than any other city in the county, including Crystal Lake, has caused some station operators to reduce prices to the bare minimum to remain competitive. One authority indicated that, in reality, every gas station should be charging the same price for a gallon of gasoline. That is because of federal laws which require that every oil company receive the same amount of money for a gallon of gas. For example, one of the companies, let's say Arco, could have all its oil from the United States, while Amoco could have to import all its oil from Asia. Certainly, Arco's oil would cost less than Amoco's would, and the company could then sell it to the various dealers at a lower price. To prevent this from hap­ pening, Arco then would have to pay Amoco a certain amount which would equalize the money the company makes on a gallon of gasoline. As to what the future will bring, we call once more on Richard Hester, who says he has no answers. "If I knew the answers to all the problems, I could run the oil industry," he laughed. "If I knew the answers, I'd be somewhere." Thus, it appears that the gasoline industry will continue to be in a state of constant turmoil. Self-service vs. full-service, volume, and low prices vs. a higher profit margin. What it comes down to is this: What's better, a few large loaves of bread or several small loaves? And the answer to that question has been debated a lot longer than there have been oil companies. COMMISSION TO SELECT (CHIEF (Continued from page 1) McHenry within one year of accepting the job. After Murray outlined the commission's procedures for hiring the chief, Alderman Vince Adams stated that, "I don't think we should bring an outsider in. I think we should hire a man from our city." Adams then cited seriot& problems facing the local school districts, apparently believing the problems are a result of hiring superintendents from outside the McHenry area. It was not until the end of the meeting^ after the Police commission members had left, that Smith voiced his opinioa He then made the motion which failed when none of the sue other aldermen present (Ernest Schooley was absent), failed to support his position. In other action, the Council awarded the bid for the construction of well No. 6 to Joseph Huemann and Sons of Johnsburg. Their bid was $19,381. Only (me other bid was submitted, with the Huemann bid being considerably lower. Tom Low, president of the McHenry area Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Council, requesting $15,000 so that the Chamber could hire a full time manager. Low stated that managers have been hired in other cities, and their salaries are paid after the first year through having more members. He told the Council that the Chamber presently includes 157 businesses, out of a possible 560 in the area. He noted that the Chamber lost twenty-eight members this year, and believes that a manager could reverse the downward trend in membership. Alderman Smith was the only alderman to voice an opinion oneway or the other, indicating concern over both the legality of giving the Chamber the money, and the wisdom of it. "I can't understand why more than half, of the businessmen don't belong," ha said. No final decision on whether or not the Council will give the Chamber the money was made. Low will make a complete presentation to the Council at the next meeting. City Cleric Barbara Gilpin reported that a public hearing has been scheduled for Monday, Oct. 17 at 7:15 p.m. for the purpose of determining how LENNOX HEATING UNITS • EFFICIENT • QUIET THE DEPENDABLE WAY TO WARM YOUR HOME. •ELECTMC*GAS*OH LET US EXPLAIN THIS CONVENIENT SERVICE.

Stanek reported that he contacted T.P. Mathews, owner of the Lakeland Park Water company, but no meeting date has been set. Finally, ^the city received notification of rising insurance rates for squad cars. For the five year period ending in 1975, the city averaged seven and one-half accidents per year. In 1976, squad cars were involved in fourteen accidents, and through the first nine months of 1977, squad cars have been involved in sixteen accidents. HIGH SCHOOL BOARD PONDERS FACILITIES USE 'Continued from paje 1) days. The Task Force will then make its suggestions and comments, before the board finally determines what will be done with the two school buildings next year. In other business, Althoff reported to the board that the district will receive $200 per lot in developer contributions from the new subdivision which is being planned for just west of Draper road, and just south of Glacier Ridge. The contributions to the school districts ($200 will also go to the grade school district) were part of a pre-annexation agreement between the developer and the city of McHenry. The money will be paid through use of a complex formula. The development of approximately 180 lots will be divided into units. As the first lot in each unit is sold, it sets off a payment trigger. The con­ tribution for the sold lot must be paid in full. Then, the developer has eighteen months to pay one-half of the remaining lots, and an additional eighteen months to pay off the remaining half of the lots. The board also approved the gasoline bid for the 1977-78 school year. The board ac­ cepted the low bid of forty-nine cents per gallon from the McHenry Oil Company, In­ corporated. The grade school district had approved the same bid last month, contingent on the high school board's ac­ ceptance. Finally, Mrs. Van Wie, a .parent of a student at East ""carfipus, addressed the board concerning students' course loads at East campus. Presently, freshmen are required to take five academic subjects, plus health and physical education. Apparently, Mrs. Van Wie felt that the course load was too strenuous. Her request to have the mandatory course load lowered was denied. OFFICE CLOSED In observance of Columbus day, the office of the State of Illinois Department of Public Aid, 1316 N. Madison street, Woodstock, will be closed Monday, Oct. 10. PAGE 17 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1177 FILE DRUG CHARGES AGAINST AREA YOUTH (Continued from page 1) The first occurred Monday evening, and resulted in the arrest of Nancy Murray, 28, of 5215 Lear, Wonder Lake, for driving while her license was suspended. She was released on $1,000 bond with a court date set for Oct. 7. The police report indicated that an officer, while on routine patrol on E. Wonder Lake road, near McCullom Lake road, observed an auto with no rear license plate light showing. He stopped the car to warn the driver when he discovered that Ms. Murray didn't have a valid license. She was then arrested. The other arrest occurred at about 5 a.m. Wednesday, and found David Dean, 24, of 1302 Hillside in McHenry, being • charged with speeding and - driving while his license was suspended. Total bond on Dean was set at $1,035 for an Oct. 13 court appearance. The police report stated that an officer observed a car speeding 51 in a 40 mph zone at 5 a.m. Wednesday, and after stopping the vehicle, the officer discovered that Dean's license was suspended. He was then arrested for that violation. Lake Problems Reviewed By State Senators " State Senators Jack Schaffer and Karl Berning will appear at the Lakemoor municipal building Tuesday evening, Oct. 11, to share information on the possibilities available to remake Lily Lake into a safe, healthy recreational body of water. Further information may be obtained by calling Bruno Karas.

The women, Esther D. Mc- Neeley of 2013 Woodlawn Park and Sharon L. Lewis of 1715 W. Oakleaf drive, were both taken to the emergency room of McHenry hospital by the McHenry Area Rescue squad. Neither driver was ticketed by McHenry police in­ vestigating the accident. Both cars sustained about $800 damage. Ms. McNeeley stated that she was eastbound on Broad street, and stopped at the stop sign. She added that she looked both directions on Green street, but didn't see any cars, so she proceeded into the intersection and contact was made. That accident occurred at about 3:45 p.m. About seven hours later, McHenry police were summoned to the scene of another two-car accident, this one at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Ringwood road. No injuries were reported. Walter W. Piercy of Rockford, one of the drivers, was ticketed for improper lane usage in connection with fhe accident, while the other. Thomas M. Noga of 4821 Flanders ro'ad, McHenry, received a citation for ficticious plates. Noga told police he was westbound on Rt. 120 in the outside lane and began making a right turn onto Ringwood road when the Piercy car made contact with his. He further stated that the Piercy auto was westbound on the shoulder of Rt. 120 when the accident oc­ curred. Elsewhere, Russell E. Jones his was turning into a driveway. Due to the wet pavement, he said he couldn't stop in time, so he swerved to the right, hitting a concrete utility pole. Thirteen-year-old Ernie Deuenecia was taken to McHenry hospital for treat­ ment of minor injuries last week, after the bicycle he was riding was struck by a car on Dartmoor avenue. The car driver, Jeffrey S. Partenheimer of 4202 W. Crestwood, McHenry, was not ticketed by police, and all reports confirmed the fact that the cyclist rode in front of the moving auto, and although Partenheimer applied his brakes, the accident was unavoidable. Finally, Peter J. Hayes of 1700 N. Riverside drive in McHenry was ticketed for failing to yield when turning left after his auto was struck by; one driven by Karen S. Lobitz of 3709 W. John street,-, McHenry. The accident occurred last week at the intersection of Et. 120 and Riverside drive. No one was injured. Hayes stated he was east- ; bound on Elm street, and was t stopped, yielding to traffic while attempting to turn left onto Riverside drive. He fur- ' ther explained that he moved to the middle of the intersection, and that the light turned': yellow, and then red. He added that he then went through with. - his maneuver when tht.» collision occurred.

I was puzzled by your reply to a woman stating that God did •; not take away the man she loved and was not responsible for her physical condition. Don't you believe that God is omnipotent and to : Him all things are possible, that He can cause things to happen as j well as prevent them from happening? Why then isn't He responsible for everything that happens? A. Yes, we do believe that God is omnipotent and that with Him all things are possible. And great and good values come to people who hold that faith and live by it. But God has given men and women free moral agency-or the ' right to decide for themselves. If they decide in error, they are responsible for that choice and not God. Another thing to keep in • mind is that God has established a natural law and the laws of health. He does not usually interfere in their operation. ' Husband stepping oat Q. My problem is my married life.

Is it possible that if you were different your ; husband wouldn't be stepping out? Could it be that you are • chronically sick, not actually perhaps, but in attitude? If you love I this man enough to stay with him you will need to become a stronger, even more exciting personality. ; Second, never allow him to hit you. Stand up to him. It Just could • be that if you become more resolute you might become more ' attractive to him, or at least you could handle him better.

Jus ten. Jones was not ticketed in connection with the accident, which caused about $100 damage to his car and an estimated $250 damage to the barn. He told police he was west­ bound on Ringwood road, and upon rounding the curve where Pioneer road intersects with Ringwood road, his vehicle spun out of control, skidding, spinning around, and finally striking the barn. Brian F. Antonu of 827 Plymouth lane in McHenry, m a passenger in hH cir, Jean Yuswak of 2704 Pueblo drive, also in McHenry, were both transported by the McHenry Area Rescue squad to i McHenry hospital when they were injured in a one-car collision Friday night on Elm street, just east of Front street. Antonu was not ticketed in the crash, but his auto was demolished. He told police he was east- bound on Elm street at about 30 mph, and looked toward the passenger on his right.
