PAlifc 18 - PLAIN DEALER - EKIDAY, APRIL 7. 1978 Observe Library Week School Reviews Vocational Needs ' (The following article was written by High School District 156 concerning the Saturday referendum). McHenry high school's vocational education program stands to gain a great deal from the passage of the district's referendum this Saturday, April 8. "Our present industrial arts programs really suffer from lack of facilities at both East and W«!St campuses," ac­ cording to Dale Halgren, the district's vocational education director. "The 61 percwit of our students who do not go on to school after graduation deserve a lot more than we can now give them in terms of job skils." Saturday's referendum will ask the voters to approve the sale of $2.15 million in bonds to complete additions to West campus. That money, together with at least $1 million from the sale of East campus and $2.3 million from an approved state To publicize National Library week, April 2-8, students at Montini Middle school have spent many hours making posters. To encourage a greater appreciation of local libraries, some sixth grade students of Ms. Karen Johanson created an assortment of posters and slogans. Not only do the children feel that "Libraries Have It All", but also that "Libraries are Dy-no-mite!" Pictured above is Michele Rehberg, holding the poster she and two other students. Amy Tronsen and Patty Freund, created. Other posters were made by Peggy Coughlin, Amy Pieroni, Terri Brock, Susan Beck, David Wiles. Herbie Hansen, and Valerie Kilday. As a further incentive to visiting the library, the McHenry-Nunda District library is holding a coloring contest open to children of all ages.

When reading the Bible I honestly get upset. The Old Testament is full of violence, and one can't blame it on TV. I find the God of the Old Testament to be a revengeful God. In the New Testament we have a tender, loving man named Jesus. He taught and loved^implicity. He thought the long temple service was a Dore. This is#ie opposite ofthte God who demanded sacrifices and •riches for the temple. Some people accept the Bible without question. I can't. How^Jq you explain it to one who ;s eager to Understand? A. You impress us as a thinker. The Bible is actually the history of the developing spiritual thinking of many centuries, and the infolding revelation of Gotf's wonderful love. In its pages a stern Diety is transformed into a kind and loving Heavenly Father. You have cagAired that idea, and it is basic. The secret of inding^n dc understai depth is to kpow and follow Jesus, the greatest thi&tplilication for the granting of a conditional use permitfena for amendment of the Zoning Ordinance of McHenrf County, which would result in a change in the zoning classification of the following described real estate: PARCEL I: The North of Lot 1 of the Southwest Quarter of Section 7, Township 44 North, Range 9 East of the Third Principal Meridian, except for that part falling within the premises owned by Commonwealth Edison Co., formerly known as Public Service Co.; also, all that part of the SouUieast Quarter of said Section 7, lying West and South­ westerly of the center line of River Road (excepting the South 1324 feet thereof), in McHenry Count Illinois, and containing spirity&L teacher of all lime. As you do this, the sometimes intricate meanings of the Bible will be made clear. f I wonder if you are aware of the version of the New Testament called "Good News for Modern Man," published by the American Bible society. This could be very helpful to you. We have a booklet, Let the Bible Help You, which has jnven new insights into the scriptures for others, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone wishing a free copy may write to us in cdre of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.' Crippled and Confined Q. My dear husband passed away suddenly seven months ago. We were married for ovm* 58 years, living in this same home for 56 years. We had no children. I have no close relatives and am alone. I have a bad hip condition which keeps me confined to my home entirely. I get around the house only with a walker, so I cannot be active in things as I used to be. * Can yo^suggest anything ffnielp me get over my sadness and * grieving over my loss of such a wonderful companion? Please pray for me. $ . A. We would suggest that ev^ry day^rou give thanks that you # have such a wonderful husband. Because it is a fact that yoi^still do have him. • * Try to believe that he is very near tcryoifmnd wants you to be happy. So don't waste your present ]^e ty being sad. Make a list of all the other people whom you know who are lonely and confined as you are. And establish a friendly relationship by telephone or mail or message. Start a kind of fellowship clifr. By helping each other, each of vqu will help himself or herself. In a Vacuum of Misery Q. When I met my husband I knew he had a child by another woman. We were married and had three cnildrjn. I loved him#very mu^h, believed and trusted in him with all my heart, thinking he fel( theasame way about me. I did not knowJieV^s still seeiig this same woman and had two more children by her and that she tarried his name because of the ftiildren. This was eight yeals ago, and I still have the hurt in my heart I got a divorce, but became very ill. He waaM to wm me again, but the warmth and affection toward him is gone, t am la a vacuum of misery. I know if I take him back he will still have a warm feeling toward the other woman. I am afraid of the future. Thank you for the answer to this problem. A. Sounds like this man is a bigamist at heart. Apparently, one wife and one family isn't enoughrfor him. As a decent woman you could not, of course, be party to such a situation. He should be made to shell out and take care of your children financially. You can get out of that "vacuum of misery" by bringing yourself into an area of positive, hopeful thinking. It was no real marriage except on your part, and since a marriage involves two people, you are probably well out of it If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.

Capital Development board grant, would be used to con­ struct a 117,000 square-foot addition to West campus. A large part of that addition would be used for shops to expand the school's vocational education program. If the referendum fails, the school board will be forced to upgrade the East campus building to meet state Life Safety standards. The district is currently in violation of those standards at East and is operating under an extension by the state. Those necessary repairs, which could cost as much as $2 million, over a period of time, would have to be made without the benefit of state aid. Local bonds for Life Safety improvements would be issued without voter approval. If the choice is made by voters to upgrade East campus rather than to add on to West campus, no additional space could be added to East with Life Safety bonds. That choice would leave the district with the same amount of space it currently has. Any future decision to provide the needed shop space would then require another referendum. "Our current shortcomings in industrial arts are primarily tied to lack of facilities," said Halgren. "We're in good shape when it comes to teaching staff and equipment. But our current space allows us to offer neither the depth nor the breadth that students need to enter the job market successfully." Halgren went on to explain that, of the shop courses currently offered, many are3 available at only one campus or the other. This prevents students from gaining the amount of experience in any one area that they need to get a job. Halgren added that there are a number of necessary programs that we are not able to offer at either campus. Courses in such areas as electricity and electronics, welding, horticulture, and recreational vehicle repair (snowmobiles, motorcycles, outboards, etc.) would offer easy access for local students to the job market. The current vocational program at both campuses was recently evaluated by a team of educators from the state's Department of Adult, Vocational and Technical Education. That group, in their final report, stressed the need for expanded facilities to im­ prove the program. If Saturday's referendum passes, the sale of bonds would increase taxes approximately 18 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. For example, if a house had a market value of $30,000, with an assessed valuation of $10,000, the in­ crease in taxes would be $18. Polls will be open this Saturday, April 8, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at East campus (Precinct 1), Lakemoor Community center (Precinct 2,) McCullom Lake Beach House (Precinct 3) and Harrison grade school (Precinct 4). ^American Viewpoints The music that can deepest reach, and cure all ill, is cordial speech.
