y MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued frorii page 1) In an era when violence enters our homes daily through radio and TV, ap­ parently the non-violent crime of shoplifting and stealing from employers fail to cause a stir. And because they are non-violent they fail to create urgency on the put of the public and police to prosecute. Maybe we should take another look! The death of George P. Freund this week took from the McHenry community a man who had probably devoted as much service to his hometown as any other. As the city's first citizen, for 12 years, he drew to him hundreds who recognized his sincerity and appreciated the effort he put forth in their behalf. But his greatest asset was the simplicity that was characteristic of this man who was genuinely a fan of the community in which he was born. Whether he was greeting a dignitary visiting the city or the fellow next door, he displayed an un­ pretentious manner that had appeal for others. And he tackled the problems of the city in the same efficient manner th&t he used on his own business problems. Only R.I. Overton, who served before him, and Donald Doherty, who followed him in office, share with George P. Freund the longest service to McHenry as mayor. K.A.F! WORK TOVVAKU PSYCHIATRIC INPATIENT UNIT (Continued from page 1) alloted for this area, Mar­ tens indicated, 90 of the beds are in St. Joseph's hospital. The present need for McHenry county was quoted as 125 beds, but the board was advised that the HSA might not support this contention. Martens added that the records of his unit show more than 365 residents from McHenry county had been hospitalized for mental health reasons during the past year. When the board raised the question concerning the source of money to finance the study and preparation for certification (Pesce said Memorial did not have extra funds for it), Smith said the 708 board probably had available funds from a $150,000 grant that would no: be completely used. This is federal money and is to be used for survey projects like this, Smith said. And if the proposal is turned down by the HSA which is also federally funded, it resolves into two federal agencies working against each other. "We may be turned down flat, but it's better to have tried," Smith said. Smith commented that he was aware of some loopholes in the HSA "maze" through which the application must be processed. Although McHenry county is a part of a SMSA, it is actually a semi- rural area with different standards for evaluation. Smith recognized, too, that current thinking at the state ievei IS KM cowiiiituiik> IMWU mental health rather than in large state inalitutions. Pesce noted ' that the proposal was aimed at short term emergency care and that patients who required prolonged treatment would be handled by established facilities dealing in this kind of care. Smith advised that the P and M board consideration • of the jail rehabilitation. project was "after the fact." - The project was set up t0 | begin Dec. 1 and to run \ through November of 1M0 tol< coincide with the county's fiscal year. The McHenry. County board and the 708 board had already approved the appropriation of the monies for Bob Meyers, a McHenry County college staff member, to begin operations. It only remained for the P and M board to concur, which the board did. Smith explained briefly that the project is designed ' to increase the aid available and strengthen the psychological care for the 45 persons who might be housed in the McHenry county jail. The recent suicide of one inmate• testifies as to the need for the service. A board member added the concern that psychological treatment continue after a person leaves the jail. Dennis Smith, executive director of the McHenry County Mental Health board, explained that the Planning and Management board is an 1 advisory unit of the Mental; Health board and its recommendations are' binding on the board unless overridden by a two-thirds majority of the Mental Health board.

A parental request was required to be on file in the nurse's office. The amended policy requires that the parent file a request and bring the medicine to school in the same manner as with the former policy. But, in a change from past policy, "The student is responsible for coming to the office to take the medicine. The parents of the student must assume responsibility for informing the school of- any change in the child's health and change in medication." Also, the amended policy says that the school district "retains the discretion to reject requests for ad­ ministration of medicine." The amendment was adopted unanimously. , Representing the Valley View PTO, Pat Przetacznik asked the District 15 school board for assistance in the amount of $2,800 in acquiring a new intercom system for Valley View school. Ms. Przetacznik noted that the present intercom is "20 years old and in poor shape." She said that the system the PTO was considering would cost about $5,000. The PtO has raised $2,200 towards the system, Ms. Przetacznik reported; District 15 superintendent, Dr. Richard Farmer, ex­ pressed some concern oyer school district obid requirements "if the district is going to be the majority shareholder." The board expressed the sentiment that the intercom was necessary, but decided that the board should look into the situation and send out bids. Ms. Przetacznik also asked the board to look into the parking lot lighting situation, saying that it was very dangerous trying to turn off of Route 120 into the lot at night. The matter was referred to the Building and Main­ tenance comrriittee. In other business the school board voted to raise ENDING IN DEATH-A young man was killed early Thursday morning after His car ran into this Commonwealth Edison utility pole on Lincoln road.

Weapons Charge Arrests Arising out of separate incidents, two men have been arrested on charges of unlawful use of weapons, among other things, by McHenry county Sheriff's police.

Jerry Asmus of Mundelein was arrested for unlawful use of weapons, speeding and transporting open liquor in a motor vehicle. His bond was set at $1,035.
