Those who are financially able are asked to contribute toward the cost of the services they receive; however, mo one is denied service due to lack of financial resources. CONCLUDE POLICE-CITY NEGOTIATIONS (Continued from page 1) held Jan. 23. In addition to Datz, Alderman Ernest Schooley and Council member Elizabeth Nolan are members of the committee. The present salary of a starting patrolman in McHenry is $12,340. This compares with $13,156 a patrolman in Wood­ stock is paid and $12,870 in Crystal Lake. The finance committee is eportedly offering an increase i the starting pay to in excess f $14,000. In Crystal Lake, a patrolman ho has been on the depart- lent four years is paid $17,680 and in Woodstock the fourth year officer makes $16,744. In McHenry, the four-year patrolman is paid $15,616. The finance committee has reportedly offered the department a raise in the four- year scale to $17,616. Both the Crystal Lake department and Woodstock departments are presently negotiating for next year's salaries also. A starting sergeant in FRIDAY, APRIL 13,1979 McHenry is paid $16,053, just $197 less than a starting sergeant in Crystal Lake, who 1 makes $16,250. In Woodstock, a starting sergeant is paid $2,459 more than in McHenry, with an annual salary of $18,512. The committee has offered an increase for a starting sergeant to $18,553, just more than in Woodstock. But, Woodstock's department is scheduled to receive a raise in this year's budget also. A top sergeant in McHenry (after five years) has a present salary of $18,564. This is $3,796 lower than in Crystal Lake where a top sergeant makes $22,360 and $2,834 lower than the $21,398 in Woodstock. * "All we want is to be brought up to a comparable level," said a member of the association. "There is only a $8,700 dif­ ference in the total package offered and what we want and they say they can't come up with the difference." "Since 1973, there has been an 86 percent turnover in the department which can probably be attributed in part to low pay," he continued. "At a minimum, it costs $4,500 to train a new officer to put him on the street." The Police association is comprised of the entire 21-man department. This is the first year the association has been in existence, marking the first time it has been involved in negotiations. Another request of the association which has ap­ parently not been resolved concerns overtime pay. The city's salary ordinance presently reads, "With the exception of police officers, all city employees shall be paid time and one-half for overtime. The overtime rate for police officers, including the lieutenant, shall be their hourly rate plus $1.50." The association has repor­ tedly asked to have the over­ time pay schedule for police officers upgraded to a level equalMo the rest of the city's employees. The finance committee reportedly did not offer to ask the Council for a change in the ordinance. Another problem faced by the police officers as well as all city employees concerns sick days. The salary ordinance currently states no paid sick days will be given to any em­ ployee with less than one full year of service. It continues by saying that employees with one year of service but less than three will not be paid for the first and second days they are off due to non-job related illnesses. The third, fourth and fifth full days an employee is off he will receive full pay. "City employees cannot get sick for the first three years they work for the city," an association negotiator ex­ plained. "We would like aff program set up to be controlled by supervisors to keep a careful watch on sick days to be sure they aren't abused. But, em­ ployees should be paid for a certain number of sick days." Last year, the entire police department used a total of 13 sick days. "If department heads supervise to make sure the sick days aren't abused," a spokesman said, "it would not be a costly benefit to offer city employees." A request by the city clerk's office for an additional one and one-half paid days off a year has reportedly not been decided on yet. The finance committee's reports and recommendations will be presented at the public hearing on the budget Monday, April 23, at 7:30 at city hall. The entire budget will be discussed by the Council, including all salary recommendations. The Police association has reportedly been asked to be put on the agenda for that meeting.

Conduct Record Hunger Walk The bitter cold wind blew strong and rain fell, but in spite of it all, 127 persons attempted the 10-mile CROP hunger walk last Sunday. Lyn Sobczak, coordinator of the walk, an­ nounced it to be the largest turnout McHenry has ever had. The event began in the West campus parking lot and from there the participants took off through Whispering Oaks and Lakeland Park. The amount of money raised has not yet been figured, but all proceeds will be given to CROP, an in­ ternational hunger-fighting organization, where it is used for food and for agricultural equipment and expertise. CROP will then leave 25 per­ cent of the money taken in from the walk to be used by FISH for local hunger needs. Derek Eschemeyer, a Rotary exchange student from Brazil, finished the 10 miles in about an hour and 45 minutes and was worth about $28 a mile.

From The Garden To The Cross At the close of an evening's sunset In a land far over the sea, Silent alone sat our Saviour In a Garden called Gethsemane. So regal, so lonely He sat there In robes royal purple and white; His hands clasped before Him so gently As the shadows lengthened the.jpight. There was- no one near Him to comfort No one a kind word to say. And He knew the morrow would bring the price Of a world'? salvation to pay. What were His thoughts on the morrow? As He thought of the Cross He must bear Did He ask God the cause and the why fore And had He forgotten to care? Softly the night it wore onward But he felt naught of the cold, For His Father above had wrapped Him In a mantle moreprecious than gold. Morning came and His vigil was ended A distant cock crowed in the dawn, The sun bursting forth in its spendor Shown a face that was haggard and drawn. Shown a face that was both tired and weary And the tears that fell from His eyes Came from a heart filled with suffering • For such sinners as you be and I. On a Cross they hung Him suspended, A Crown of thorns they placed on His head; When He asked for a Cup of cold water They handed Him wormwood instead. In His Crucifixion so new in the telling Or do you know it from memory by heart Do you receive a new Blessing each Easter As His message to us doth impart? So His Easter doesn't mean for me Gay finery new to wear It means that Cross on CALVARY'S HILL And a burden I'd help bear.
