"In response to the recent letter in the Public Pulse of the McHenry Plaindealer, we feel it is necessary to point out a few statements that were in­ correctly stated. "1--Over 50 percent of the teachers employed by District 156 live in the school district. 2--Teachers are not immune from inflation. Our salary increase did not exceed that of many other neighboring school districts. "3--Staff working hours are approximately 8 hours per day in the buildings, Monday through Friday, plus many additional hours of planning and preparation"on evenings and weekends. Hourly wages do not come close to the amount stated in the article. "4--The vast majority of teachers are dedicated people devoted to the educational welfare of all children in our community. This has always been and will be the No. I priority of the teachers in McHenry Community high school. Any statement to the contrary is absolutely in­ correct. "5--The increase in salary granted to coaches was a small amount considering the vast amount of time spent working with our students. Such stipends do not equal those paid in surrounding school districts. "We encourage the citizens to support the referendum Saturday, Oct. 22, with a 'Yes' vote. We must continue basic education for our students- they deserve no less. "Marty Mullen, President "McHenry High School Teachers Association" "Donald Blume, President "Faculty Senate" - HIGH SCHOOL REFERENDUM "Editor: "I recently realized that I owe great appreciation to the many people that I never met who paid for my education. They assumed the financial responsibility for my schooling through their tax dollars. Whether or not they had children in the school system, had any children at all, were old or young, were wealthy or struggling, they voted to spend their money to provide me with a quality education. One of the most precious gifts I have ever been given came from a group of virtual strangers. "I also realized that in like manner, I must assume responsibility for the education of the children in McHenry. Though our own daughter is an infant and will not be in school for years, my husband and I realize our responsibility to the students in our community. We will be voting YES on Saturday, Oct. 22. "I hope that as each taxpayer deliberates the issues and decides whether or not he will vote to increase his property taxes, he, too, will remember the many strangers who paid his way. Whether we are talking about schools, social security, roads, police protection, income assistance, health insurance, strangers are paying our way. It is the responsibility of each of us to be the strangers who pay the way for quality education for the students in District 156. "Judith A. Zid "3514 Broad Street "McHenry" "Editor: "If all of the people who voted against the District 15 Referendum on Saturday were to ask themselves, 'Who cared enough to help educate us and our children?' perhaps the outcome would have been different. "If all of the parents who have children attending our public schools had taken the time to vote yes, I'm sure the outcome would have been different. "None of us like to see our taxes go up, but are we so selfish that we can't make some sacrifice for the children in our community? Somebody certainly sacrificed for us and we should be willing to invest in the education of our children. "We should all take pride in our schools and want them to be super, not second-rate.

Maple" "Dear Editor: "On Saturday, Oct. 22, the people living in McHenry High School District No. 156 will be going to vote on a most crucial referendum. "They will have two basic choices. A yes vote will assure our teenagers the opportunity to attend a high school which will continue to offer the best of everyting - academics, sports, clubs, drama, music, chorus, band, and many other in­ terests. A no vote means many of these things may be taken away from them. "To take these BASIC education offerings away from them is unthinkable. How will they develop into responsible young adults without com­ petition, challenge, and the chance to do their own thing? THEY WON'T! "As residents of Wonder Lake for twenty-four years we have watched our community grow, and with it our schools, bigger and better. We raised our two children here and can assure you they both received excellent educations at McHenry high school. They took pari in extra-curricular activities with great delight, and we spent many years at­ tending all their programs. We, too, became WARRIORS! "Although our children are no longer at home (our daughter teaches a special education class out of town, and our son attends college in southern Illinois), we still at­ tend many high school programs ami games and enjoy them immensely. There is still a thrill watching youngsters perform and strive to do their best; "We appeal to all parents and grandparents - don't let your children down -- they are your most valuable asset. Vote yes!!! "Most sincerely, "Amy and Bud Street "3116 E. Lake Shore Drive "Wonder Lake" Weed Control Doesn't Increase Alfalfa Yield Although producers will not see bigger yields by controlling quackgrass in alfalfa, forage quality and protein will im­ prove, said Marshal McGlamery, University of Illinois Extension weed scientist. Dairymen, for instance, may find they do not need as much protein supplement when quackgrass is reduced. For best results, forage should be tested to determine protein levels. Kerb 50W is registered for use in established alfalfa, McGlamery said. It also is registered for clover, birdsfoot trefoil and crown vetch. It has given good quackgrass control in alfalfa in Wisconsin tests. McGlamery said that Kerb also kills other perennial grasses, such as bromegrass, orchardgrass and timothy, so it should not be used in a legume- grass mixture. Kerb will not control common perennial broadleaf weeds such as yellow rocket, dandelion and hoary alyssum. McGlamery suggested it only be used on fairly dense legume stands not heavily infested with tolerant broadleaf weeds. It should be applied in the fall, when soil temperatures are below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Use about two to three pounds of Kerb 50W a** acre. It can be applied in th> fall of the seeding year or any fall, but the best benefits occur when quackgrass is controlled before it spreads. Do not graze or harvest the forage within 120 days of treatment, McGlamery cautioned. Two-sided arguments seldom have an end.
