The board is now taking action to cut expenditures by $48,100 during the remainder <>f this year. This/will serve to reduce iheJanticipated deficit nejO^Uune from $805,003 tOS756.903. Lookjalr at a projected defi|Sfrof $1,675,616 by the middle, of 1981 if no action is taken, the board agreed to ihe spartan measures adopted Tuesday night. By doing sq, and considering other factors, figures in the red are anticipated at $778,700. It was pointed out that the district's ability to deficit finance is a statutory matter. The lax anticipation warrant borrowing power in ihe Education fund was listed at $1,179,000. not far above the anticipated deficit-"* in mid-1981 if no measures to reduce expenditures were laken now. In other action, but related lo increasing the district's money supply, approval was given to the adoption of the Working Cash Bond resolution in the amount of $900,000. This amount of money will be invested in accordance with the legal allowance for ihe anticipation of three- fourths of a year's taxes. What is not needed for current operating expenses will be invested at a high interest rate. The board also approved ihe lax anticipation warrant bid of McHenry State bank for $1,000,000 at 7.95 percent for the school year 1979-80. Members also okayed the transfer of $60,000 from the Working Cash fund to the * Education fund. Johnsburg (Continued from page 1) Some classes are already filled and only a few are lacking enough participants to meet the requirements. Auto mechanics and sex education are in need of more students. Most classes will open the week of Feb. 4. Sue Maiorca, PTO program chairperson, reported on the progress of the international event program entitled "Around the World in 30 Days," which is planned for District 12 during the entire month of February. Students from K- 12 will be studying in­ t e r n a t i o n a l c u l t u r e s . heritage, food, folk dancing and many other areas of interest.

On Feb. 24 (3:30) a French movie (with English sub-titles) entitled "Small Change" will be shown at the high school. "It is a profound and wise movie about childhood, . being both traumatic and hilarious," said Mrs.r Maiorca. The month long event will culminate in a district wide Fair day Saturday, March 1, with an open house at Bush, Middle, and Junior high schools <2-5, p.m.) and an international dinner and variety show at the high school (5 p.m.) The public is invited, but reservations are required for dinner. A dialogue was held on the proposed contract for two trophy cases at the cost of $1,250. The general opinion was to look into second-hand cases as a temporary solution because this ex­ penditure did not seem appropriate at this time since the board is faced with cutting back and holding the line on spending. Johnsburg district has been accepted into the Ur- bana Reading program, which is restricted to 15 school districts. All services are funded by this program. Jacolyn Booth, high school reading teacher, will par­ ticipate in the instruction of new districts. She has had prior training in the program.

Driver's education was approved for summer school during executive session. CONVICTED MAN TESTIFIES (Continued from page 1) killed. Wieting said that during the afternoon and night all three of the accused men chloroformed Caraher. When William Frank took the witness stand, he said Caraher had "pulled a knife" on him in the parking lot of the International Mineral and Chemical plant, near Libertyville. and that Frank had shot towards him with a .22 Luger to scare him. Caraher was shot in the legs twice and Frank testified thayhe chloroform had beert used to ease the pain while the trio decided what to do. Both Wieting and Frank said that while the three men were at a tavern pear Libertyville, the third man, Clifford Johnson, "took care of it." On the stand, Frank denied handcuffing Caraher to the inside of the van, "smashing Caraher's teeth in?, and even giving chloroform to Caraher. The body was later put in a snowbank along Vanderkarr road near Woodstock and was found by a snow-plowing crew.. Earlier in the trial, Dr. Stein testified that Caraher died of exposure after being put in the snowbank. Another physician said that a layperson would not be able to distinguish a state of deep anesthesia from a state of death. The last witness and the closing arguments of both attorneys are expected to be given in court Thursday. From there, the jury will be instructed by Judge Block and they will render a verdict. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) Support of this possibility was tfortified by a Jan. 10 announcement that gas prices had increased as much as four cents a gallon in tfcre preceding three wj^eks. We are now paying *fwice as much for a gallon of gas as we did at the same time five years ago. And the writer of 70 years ago might feel he had made a point on safety if he knew that almost all safety and law enforcement agencies are encouraging close ob­ servation of the 55-mile an- hour speed limit for the Devil Wagon. Why? Because they are indeed "dangerous" as he stated early in the century, and indeed, to the many carefree drivers, they are, even today, used as "playthings". K.A.F.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Two individuals and the McHenry area firms they represent were singled out for special recognition when the United Way of McHenry County, Inc., held its second annual dinner Wednesday evening at the McHenry Country club. Honored were Ormel Prust of the McHenry State bank and Dan Schmitt of M o r t o n C h e m i c a l , Ringwood, both of whom received Dedicated Worker awards. The persons chosen to receive these awards have made an unique contribution to this year's campaign in at least one of several ways. Some have held and per­ formed effectively in key c a m p a i g n l e a d e r s h i p positions. Others have done an outstanding job of developing new campaign accounts essential to the United Way growth. Still others have provided outstanding leadership in employee campaigns within their own places of business. A few consistently helped to publicize the United Way • cause within their own local communities. Receiving Gold Employee awards were McHenry State bank and Morton Chemical. The latter also was presented a Generous contributor award. The Generous Contributor awards recognize those firms whose per capita giving to the campaign is substantially above average levels of giving. Firms with 25 or more people receiving this award achieved con­ tribution levels of $20 per capita or more. The McHenry County United Way campaign Organization consists of two part-time employees and nearly 200 volunteer workers from the community-at- large. Payroll deduction giving is crucial to the success of the operation, generating well over 50 percent of the annual campaign revenues. At the election of direc­ tors, Philip Wheelock and the Rev. Ralph Smith of McHenry were among directors named to three- vear terms.
