I've only been married a coUple of months but everything seems to be going down the drain. Our honeymoon ended as quick as it began because his mother wanted him to come back home the next day. She lives about 15 miles from us and both of her older sons live with her. They won't help her at all because she is so dependent on Tom (my husband). Also, Tom has two little sisters who he has spoiled rotten. They depend on him for everything. He's said that if something hap­ pens to his parents he will take care of the sisters. I'm not too wild about that idea and I told him I thought we should worry about making our marriage work instead of what may or may not happen with his family. I told him I'd move out if he tried to play father for his sisters. He acted like that would be just fine with him! Now I'm beginning to wonder if he was really ready for marriage. I think he's still a mamma's boy. I love him very much and I would hate to lose him. However, how can I make him put me before his mother and sisters? Needs Help Quick Dear Needs Help: If you've tried to talk to your husband about these problems and he isn't cooperative, then the next best bet, I think, is a marriage counselor. It seems ridiculous to be recommending this so soon after your wedding because these days are usually the happiest in a newly wed couple's life. However, these ad­ justment problems are indicative of even worse things to come, and you need professional advice on how to nip them in the bud. Good luck.

With that being the case, it has become necessary to gear a 'greater portion of education toward offering students those courses which will enable them to find jobs immediately upon ^graduation. Under the leadership of Dale Halgren, director of the Vocational Education program, McHenry high school is attempting to meet ipe needs of those students. Providing them with the necessary skills, knowledge and attitudes with which to find employment in a ,particular field is the goal of the vocational program. Halgren is ..attempting to make the most of what the district faculty members have to work with and every effort is made to make the most effective use of facilities available. Presently, one of every two academic credits is issued for a vocational course. Approximately thirty-five instructors are involved in teaching vocational classes in five different areas of instruction, including agriculture, business, industrial arts, health occupations and home economics. The Industrial Arts program trains students to enter the trades of draftsmen, auto mechanics, building trades and printing. The business education department is unquestionably one of the best areas of vocational education offered in the district. It's designed to train students for job entry as secretaries, typists, bookkeepers, clerical workers, key-punch operators and other related office occupations. Vocational Advisory Council Halgren has established a vocational advisory council to provide community input in coordinating these areas of instruction. This group serves the purpose of developing and improving understanding of the needs of vocational education in our community. By advising the district's administration and staff of vocational needs, they help plan, implement and maintain vocational and technical education programs. "^"The six members serving on this council include Chuck Miller, Wfl IXMffe Frisbyr Rita Hahn, Tim Low, Cindy Oeffling and Richard T he nnes.1 Since last March this group has worked to ttevelop a Master Plan for a Comprehensive Vocational program in .McHenry. Their active and enthusiastic support of the needs of students in this area is evidenced in their work. An important part of the work of this advisory council is in the evaluation of programs that we currently offer as well as recommending future programs. The State Department of Vocational and Technical Education will be sending an evaluation team to McHenry high school for several days to help the Board of Education and Advisory council evaluate and improve our vocational programs. The combined input of these groups will serve to further improve our offerings in these important areas.

That statute says that companies in the state shipping goods themselves must either own the trucks p they use or put the driver on their regular payroll. Every other state lets companies : lease both the rigs and the 5 drivers. State trucking laws apply only to shipments that start ti'and end within that state. Merchandise crossing state lines is regulated by Wash­ ington, where/the Interstate Commerce Commission lets private carriers lease trucks and man them with drivers supplied by specialized man­ power firms. That means that companies in Texas that send some items to other Texas cities and others to nearby states are operating under two different sets of rules. "This is eco­ nomically wasteful and can­ not be justified," the ATA's Private Carrier Conference _ told the Texas attorney gen­ eral in a bid to get the law ^changed. "The use of leased drivers and leased vehicles on an interstate badis is be­ yond question, having been - approved by the ICC, a three- judge Federal District Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court," • the organization insisted in * its 28-page memorandum. ATA says that the Texas law is hurting the state's •economy. The filing alleges legal Notice NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given <that on October 31st. A.D. 1977, a certificate was filed in the .
