INDUCT SIX FROM AREA IN HONOR SOCIETY (Continued from page 1) by a special faculty nominating committee on the basis of four criteria-scholarship. leader ship, school and community service and character (Juest speaker for the oc casion was the Very Reverend Thomas G. Doran, chancellor of the Hockford diocese, and he elaborated on "the quality of scholarship" and the four criteria for selection. Also present were all existing members of the National Honor society A reception was held in the library immediately following the ceremony Mrs Judy Sowinski is the faculty sponsor of the National Honor society and the presiding officer is president. Brent Beringer OUTLINE POSSIBLE NEW DEVELOPMENT (Continued from page 1) them there on time to meet the requirements It was asked if the city could use the testing facilities at Woodstock, but the question remained unan swered The Council okayed retreading of tires and pur­ chase of a new set for "Big Wheels", the vehicle used by the city to dispose of sludge over fields It was found that the enormous tires were only giving the city 8 months of wear t>efore requiring attention The aldermen believed that lierhaps I ho salesman was a little less than candid when he indicated the length of service. Also, 1 ho vehicle extensively uses hard surfaced road which shortens tread life. Alderman Marker explained The costs, okayed by the Council, were given as $2,554.90 for retreading and $4,525.34 for new tires. The Council also okayed the purchase of machinery in­ surance with $1 ,C>oo deductible for protection of motors, compressors and other items at wells, sewer lifts, and garages in the city Cost was given as $:t,202 Alderman Bolger voted no. declaring the action was foolish Alderman Kdward Datz of the insurance committee pointed out the dramatic in­ creases occurring in the city employee's health program, a 7 percent increase for this year. He said the costs for the city's fifty-live employees would be - $7. r).l(W for the year and the cost would range from to 2 percent' to 15 percent of the payroll depending on the worker's -classification Mayor Stanek said he hoped the employees appreciated litis as Datz in­ dicated there is only one way for the cost to go. and that is up because medical care costs keep climbing In a discussion at the close of the meeting. Clerk Barbara; Gilpin pointed out that bus riders were destroying the lobby of the city hall while waiting for the RTA buses. She said students, while waiting for their rides, were roaming around I he building and breaching security by going into restricted areas Aldermen wondered about moving the bus BUICK-OLDS, INC Has McHenry County's Largest New Car INVENTORY OYER 100 New Cars and Trucks in Stock LeSABRES WU88S GMC PICKUPS % stop to another location along with a shelter, which the HTA said was available. When it was suggested the back parts of the building could be locked. Meyer said there were toilets on the lower level which the public is entitled to use. The police had similar security problems. Chief George Passanelli said, and was considering a gate at the rear of his lobby. Mayor Stanek argued against moving the bus stop location saying the problem < kids > is here, whether the HTA is involved or not. and they should consider the security problem OKAY RDG PROPOSAL (Continued from page 1) Berg reassured the com­ mission tha^ a 12-year period would be about the company's capacity for development, judging from past experience He noted that the building business has cycles and that they might get permits for 160 units in one year but would not have all of them occupied. He noted that the economics vary and that it is dangerous (to the company) to restrict itself. Planner Tom Davis agreed that the law of supply and demand would control if nothing else does and he pointed out the elderly population in one of the recent developments in which housing should be available in twelve to fifteen years. Davis noted that gasoline supplies would also curtail demand. "It's a luxury to live in McHenry," he added Planners and audience ex­ pressed apprehension about the responsibility of some of the numerous developers If the economy is right, people could pour into the city from all sides Attorney Ladd said that the building boom cycle now seems to be three years and an average (limitation) based on that could be worked out with the city. Pepping explained about the need for restrictions on building as opposed to restrictions on other business is that municpalities provide services and facilities and must be able to handle the growth that is thrust on them. But. Pepping added, if restrictions are imposed, they should apply to all builders As the meeting opened. Pepping reviewed the concerns that the commission should consider in connection with the proposed PUD The fiscal study with cost and revenue items which were favorable to the RDG proposal, he believed was computed at today's base with regard for inflation, a question for planning consultant Robert Duchek of Harland Bar- thlomew to answer, he added Pepping also listed proper zoning < land uses) a school site, soil conditions, which he noted were shown as generally buildable except in flodd plains, water and sewer supply, storm drains, and density of the proposal as compared with projections by planners. He also asked Ducl.ek to comment on the traffic situation for which the commission could make no recommendations The impact study had covered traffic numbers vou can bbiih on it! Presented b> STATE BANK OF RICHMOND hh ii iImt K.D.l.t '.. America's early colonists were hard put to come up with hard coin to pay for the goods they purchased from Britain, so they experimented with substitutes for metal. From New England to Virginia, wampum or shells used by the Indians became the accepted small coinage. In 1641 in Massachusetts, it was made legal tender, subject to some limits as to the size of the transaction, at the rate of six shells to the penny. Shells came in two de nominations, black and white, the first being double the value of the second. The acceptability of the shells depended on their being re deemed by the Indians in pelts, making the Indians, in effect, central bankers of their day. Beaver pelts were the reserve currency into which wampum could be converted. As civilization moved westward, beaver became scarce and wampum stopped being convertible, thus losing its purchasing power. It soon disappeared from circulation. Duchek said the source of his figures for traffic generation by the subdivision were from various standard factors used for reference which projected an eventual 10,100 trips per day from the total development. The study did not show what the destinations would be. but they could look at the surrounding road network where Crystal Lake road and Curran road would be the most important north south arteries. Crystal Lake road would be affected the first, with peak hour loads Duchek said, and as a two-lane road it is not the best collector to handle that amount of traffic. Duchek noted that traffice from the proposed development would have to fit into the existing traffic situation in the city; « The present problems along Route 120 now. he felt were due to the lack of signalization. Even though a 5,800 daily count was registered on Crystal Lake road at Route 120 he believed the traffic from this develop­ ment would not exceed the road capacity. Beyond this in­ tersection and that of Draper road the traffic impact was not known In answer to what the peak load capacity was, Duchek said that with 29,000 cars daily at the Crystal Lake road intersection, the peak hourly rate, would be 3,480 and with signals could be increased to 5,000 per hour The RDG development would use one- quarter of the remaining capacity, he said In other remarks at the meeting it was revealed that RDG owned another 52 to 60 acres of vacant land west of Boone creek near Whispering Oaks, which when developed, Gerstad indicated, would result in 175 or more homes. Planner Don Toole, con­ centrating on the "un­ desirable" proposed school site, suggested that if the land is buildable, put something else there and get thc^chool out of there. The prospect of kids in the area "It scares the devil out of me". A review of the Baxter and Woodman engineering report on the Boone Creek drainage problems and proposed solutions showed no significant flood hazards to any of the proposed buildings, the existing bridge structures were not restrictive to flow, and the ponds with supplemental retention areas appear to be able to handle the problem and furnish a controlled release rate Gerstad said there would be some construction in con­ nection with the controlled release, but he couldn't answer specific questions about pond size and locations because the engineering is not complete Susan Honning Earns Degree At Iowa State A graduating class of 820 received degrees at the fall quarter convocation recently at Iowa State university Members of the graduation class includes Susan Leith Honning.

Don Luerssen, president of the McHenry County Farm Bureau, heads the local delegation. Farmers are in a dour mood because of the twin-pronged attack on their farming business. They say the cost of products necessary to produce their crops and livestock keep escalating while the price they receive for what they have to sell is almost unanimously too low to reflect a manageable net profit Farmers are expected to discuss what can be done to lessen the impact of inflation, which Farm Bureau members in their policy discussions are blaming primarily on excessive federal government spending They are also showing grave concern with the announced intention of OPEC countries to raise the price of oil sold the United States when those countries' leaders meet in December Luerssen, Alden dairy far­ mer, is the District I representative on the 26- member IAA tentative resolutions committee this year. This committee has been meeting frequently since July, pounding out proposed resolutions to go before the voting delegates on the final two days of convention Among topics dominating discussion have been those centering on a property tax reduction, a decrease in spending by the Illinois state government and development of some kind of national farm program fair to both city and rural people Farm Bureau leaders have voiced disappointment that President Carter has not an nounced the 1979 set aside program for feed grains IAA President Harold Steele, who addresses the convention Monday night. Dec 11. said last week farmers have been doing much fall plowing but had hoped to have a firm set aside program by mid-October so they could do a better job of planning 1979 planting in­ tentions. District I voting delegates will have a special task, to choose a director Jack Young, who has been living at Spring Grove, nfloved outside the district to Wayne in DuPage county in. mid-year so a replacement to fill the one year on his unexpired term must be elected District I comprises Lake, McHenry. Boone. Kane and DeKalb counties. No announced candidate has emerged but the names of several prominent farmers have been mentioned including Don Ellingsen. Garden Prairie Boone county Farm Bureau president; Allan Aves, Kirland DeKalb county Farm Bureau president and the senior vice president of the American Soybean association. Mel Krueger former Lake County Farm Bureau president. Eldon Gould Klburn. Kane County Farm Bureau president and John Martin and Dale Noe. Marengo. both former McHenry county Farm Bureau presidents The directorship requires considerable traveling, several days a month of the director's time, and makes unexpected demands on the holder of the office almost daily Much depends on what man has some help at hoiye to do the farm work when the newly elected director is t ailed to Farm Bureau leadership responsibilities Voting delegates to represent the McHenrv count v Farm Bureau's 5 ,800 members were chosen last week, as follows: • Donald Luerssen, Alden; Don Cash and William Olbrich, Harvard Henry Boi, Franklin ville; Clarence Adams, McHenry; and Edwin Meier.
