I*AGE 20 - PLA1NDE ALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 28.1979 DISTRICT 15 ^ACCEPTS BUDGET pF $5,517,092 ; (Continued from page 1) sick and personal leave benefits. Immediately, Nell responded by stating, "I think the salary range is far too high". , He continued to state that in his opinion the position of principal is not that important but acknowledged that the state Insists one be employed. "After I left the board (he had previously served District 15 as president) people said we should have those in business on the board who would spend the school tax money the way they would spend their own". To this he added a recom­ mendation that the wage range be from $16,000 to $18,000. • When Dr. Farmer responded tjiat some of the teachers receive as much as $21,000, Nell countered by saying that ex­ perienced teachers deserve more. ; Member Gary Lockwood agreed that the range should be lowered and suggested from $17,000 to $26,000. The vote that followed on that motion won approval except for •Ihe negative expression by Nell. Dan DeRoche, assistant superintendent for Educational Services, spoke during the meeting of the administrative concern over ihe increasing pumber of organizations requesting that students become involved in fund raising activities. DeRoche I hen read from the board policy which states that student groups or organizations may not solicit funds from the public for any purpose unless board approval has been obtained. He pointed out that while the policy is clear, it has been an accepted practice to authorize fund raising activities for non­ profit organizations. DeRoche said he felt, in view of the in­ creasing of number of requests, ahe board should decide whether the practice be con­ tinued, whether each request should be placed before the board, or whether the policy should be revised to specifically include guidelines for non-profit organizations. Member Gary Lockwood suggested that each group making a request appear before the board for permission and it was generally agreed to proceed in this way. Approval was given to the repair of the sidewalk fronting the Administration center on Main street in a cooperative agreement with the city. The agreement calls for District 15 to assume one-quarter of the cost, or $664.20. High School District 156 will be asked to do likewise and the City will assume the remaining 50 percent cost. Following executive session, the board approved the professional agreement with the teachers subject to final drafting. EXPECT ANNEXATION OF GLADSTONE LAND (Continued from page 1) McCullom Lake." Harker said the City would have to assume some amount of parental supervision and pointed out that the detention areas would not often have any significant amount of water in them. The agreement was okayed by the Council except for "finalizing and approval." Both of these, as well as the annexation and the approval of the preliminary plats could happen at the meeting scheduled for Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m. BUSINESSES SOUGHT OUT BY BURGLARS (Continued from page 1) Someone entered the unlocked garage of August Glowe, of 201 N.

NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS (Continued from page 1) has shown exceptional academic promise. A spokesman for NMSC, which conducts the Merit program, stated that "the high performance that is required to be designated a Commended student in the Merit program is an attainment deserving of public recognition. The nation as well as each of these students will be benefited by the continued educational and personal development of their talents." What Appearance? "I'm not sure," admitted lawyer Beagle, "that your grounds for claiming a divorce are valid in this state. It's all very well to say he's careless about his appearance, but it seems to me..." "I don't think you under­ stand," interrupted the client. "He hasn't shown up in four years." -SPENGEL MEATPACKING CORPORATION "Where the TOP Area Restaurant's Buy their Meat" U.S. GOVT. INSP. EST.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD The Montini Primary center third graders have been hard at work learning Indian songs, painting wigwams and mastering the arts of pan­ tomime and narration as they prepare for a performance for St. Patrick's Ladies guild Oct. 1. Teachers Margaret Fallon and Judith Irwin have adapted the famed prose piece, Injun Summer, often seen on the cover of the Chicago Tribune's Sunday Magazine each autumn. The cast will create a colorful tableau that brings to life the magic mists of an October night, when corn shocks do, indeed come to life to evoke the images of "Injun spirits," and the harvest moon glows eerily in a midnight sky. The forty Indians, several narrators, trees, and of course the Old Timer and Sonny, will sing the authentic Indian songs tracked down by Mrs. Fallon, will dance fiercely around the fire spirit and will tell the tale of an autumn enchantment that never grows too old to hear! Sunday Park Tours Will Recall Glacier Remains Flaming hardwoods will capture the essence of the fall beauty in the Glacial Park Conservation district, north of McHenry, Sunday, Sept. 30, as those attending the annual meeting of the McHenry County Soil and Water Con­ servation district tour the park area.

As a feature of the annual meeting, tours are planned, guided by informed representatives of the district. Each tour includes examples of marshland, prairieland, a bog area and two large hills or caves which are actually glacial deposits. Most of the "hills" in the county have been excavated-these two are the largest remaining. Each tour will last 45-60 minutes as participants follow the nature trail. Glacial Park Conservation district is primarily a picnic and nature trail area. It is also the headquarters for the McHenry County Conservation district. Also included on the tours will be demonstration plots established by the McHenry County Soil and Water Con­ servation district showing a wildlife habitat, a winter grain food plot and a wind break plot. The tours are planned to begin about 2 p.m. and will be followed by a business session.
