MUSIN AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) have been placed in their positions of trust by our votes Not to put more of these men and women in office because we refuse to vote only negates the citizenship we have displayed in the past. But if "dirty", "cheap" and "low" fit some politicians, they are also good descriptions of soine non-political people. There must have been thousands who read with disgust the story of juveniles who stole dogs, tied them to the railroad tracks and stoned them to death. Maybe if junior's name appeared in enough newspapers his Mom and Dad would pay more at tention to his whereabouts Pride is often more important to parents than fines.

We recall a number of years ago when a summer resident called each September to ask if we would make an appeal to short-term pet owners not to release their dogs and cats when summer was over. The lady resided in an area vulnerable to "gifts" of animals which had provided vacation time diversion and were of no further service to the family. They were dumped, or just left to tip over garbage cans until they could no longer survive the cold of winter. It has been several years since we heard from this particular lady, but when a similar message came from a distraught resident on the same subject last week, we realize McHenry and the surrounding area still , have mean, thoughtless people who persist in the same practice. You can take your choice between being stoned or star­ ving to death in judging the lowness of the individual. How grateful we are for kind men, women and children and for those organizations that prevent more cruelty in our midst. K A F MAYORS CONSIDER BEST ROLE FOR ORGANIZATION (Continued from page 1) said was important for ex­ change of ideas and ex­ periences. And time was a problem, with some officials traveling forty-five minutes to reach a meeting place. Mayor Frances Kuhn of Woodstock recalled that the association members used to bring their own sandwiches to the simpler meetings early in the history of the Municipal association. She said that because not all meetings were attended and she, like many, did not take notes, she would like to see some record of the proceedings for later review But also, she did not want to forego the food. She also pointed out that the group's bylaws indicated that they must operate by Robert's Rules of Order When the question of minutes was mentioned. Secretary James Wittig, village president of Fox River Grove, said his records were pencil copied and not distributed. The association paid no allowance for typing or for preparation of a treasurer's report Mayor Kuhn promised that such notes would be typed and copied if sent to her office and the association could have them for approval at their next meeting. McPhee suggested that they should set apart the first part of their meetings for reading of the minutes and reports The association members also agreed to devote the next meeting to association business McPhee listed the committee appointments for the coming year, which was headed by Joseph Stanek, mayor of McHenry, vice-president of the association as chairman of the Program committee Barbara Gilpin. McHenry's city clerk, and Don Enstrom, village president of Huntley, were also assigned to this committee. Other committee chairman named included: CATS (Chicago Area Transportation Study* Mayor William LeFew of Harvard; Legislative - Mayor Kuhn; Emergency Medical Services (for liaison with ambulance services and Hospitals) - President Hyatt, and President Wittig for the- Bylaws committee, which would investigate needed changes in rules and procedures. McPhee also reported that a recently formed Education committee was working with the McHenry County college to create a study program to provide direction and kqowledge for city and village officials and commissions. Being planned were a number of short term courses, McPhee said. Rose Lillegard, president of McHenry Shores, reminded him that her committee of last year had accomplished much of this work already. Martens, in his address, noted that there is no pat definition of what mental health is, but he suspected that everyone has something to do with it at some time in dealing with family problems and crises. Martens warned that mental illness can tear a family apart when it strikes. The ones in need of their services, he said, have difficulty in coping with day to day problems, which most people must. The mental health program dates back to the Kennedy days, Martens recalled, when the responsibility for services was moved down to state and local governments and numerous health centers were established in decentralized location. There are five in McHenry county which served 2,261 clients, Martens said, of which came from Algonquin and McHenry townships. He also listed the sources of the $750,294 funding which sustains the center operations, and named the directors and ad ministrative staff Brown said the services of his Nature Conservancy group were available to any of the municipalities that want to participate in saving some open space. He said his organization's purpose is to preserve open land, and it is part of the Chicago metropolitan region of the national chapter of the con­ servation agency. He said it differs from other groups who indulge in political br lobbying actions, by actively participating in buying land which they want to preserve and turning it over to ap­ propriate governmental units He cited success in buying Jones' woods and a marsh area nearvSt Charles Frequently the asking price of the land is not covered by available funds of the government units in­ volved. and the Nature Con­ servancy group steps in to take an option, then raises the difference and gives the governments time to make arrangements to buy the land wanted He also said that the group has a program by which owners of land which they want to preserve from development after they are gone could provide for conservation easements which would make the space available for such use without transferring ownership title This would be in lieu of making an actual gift of the land, and it would have tax benefits, he said. Brown noted that some program seminars are operated in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Local Government Affairs and manuals are available to all those interested Septic Tank Sludge Disposal In Discussion A meeting to discuss the possible short range and long term solutions to the septic tank sludge disposal problem in McHenry county has been scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2, in Room 112 of the McHenry county cour­ thouse. This meeting is being held at the direction of the McHenry County Board of Health and the McHenry County Board's Health and Agriculture committee. Individuals who have been invited to attend include Department of Health staff, the McHenry County Regional Planning commission staff, representatives from the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the McHenry County Farm Bureau, the McHenry County Septic Tank Pumpers association, the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Illinois Environmental Protection agency and some interested citizens; Anyone who is interested in attending this meeting is welcome.
