y "s MUSIN' AND MEANDERtN' PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - TUESDAY. JULY 1. lfM took effect in the 1972-73 school year, McHenry's elementary school district^ has received a 43 percent increase in state aid while the McHenry high school district has received a 400 percent increase. State­ wide, the increase per student has been 109 percent during the same time period. Illinois school districts are organized as separate elementary and high school districts or as unit (grades K-12) school systems. Board member Gerald Bunting points out that , the elementary district school board cannot keep pace with public or employee ex­ pectations under the disadvantages of such state aid. liday (Continued from page 1). The highway is another point of danger, particularly when drivers are in a holiday mood. Most of us assume it can never happen to us, and especially not on such a special occasion. But it does happen to hundreds each holid weekend ot,the year. In one week alone, the McHenry area has lost two young drivers to death in one-car crashes. The word "young" is always a key word. . •" An accurate report of motor vehicle accidents in Illinois last year pnw the discouraging statistic^ that 38 percent of them in\ which someone was killed involved drivers betwen the ages of 16 and 24. And 34.5 percent of accidents resulting in injury involved drivers in the same age bracket. McHenry has had its share of bicycle mishaps. For­ tunately, there has been no tragic story tp tell, but the added motor vehicle traffic, combined with the carefree attitude of more youngsters on bikes could add up to big trouble. What a waste of youth and the contributions they might some day make. Some of the nicest kids are the most careless when they're at play. Un­ fortunately, not too many of them remember that bikes aren't playthings. And then there are the beaches. McHenry has escaped death by drowning to date this year, but the death of a Chicago man during last week's intense heal makes one realize the necessity to treat any body of water with respect. _ Kai'h one is. a potential killer ' - Illinois law strictly prohibiting the sale and private use of dangerous fireworks •• the 55-mile . npeed limit - the lifeguard on the beach -- all have a purpose. These safeguards that some of the public regard as hindrances to freedom are for good reason. When all of the public realizes this, there may be fewer accidental deaths. KAF CRACKDOWN N SPEED (Continued from page 1) ther aggravated by the in­ creased number of smaller passenger cars. Excess speed makes a crash more likely to occur as it lengthens stopping distance and reduces the driver's control over the vehicle. Every crash occurs because someone could not stop the car in time to avoid the collirfdn. While the state police encourage voluntary compliance, a speed en­ forcement program is necessary to provide a maximum degree of safety to the people who travel our highways. THREE DIE IN WEEKEND -- CRASHES (Continued from page 1) Saturday morning. The head-on collision occurred when a vehicle driven by Raymond Schleicher, of 7320 E. Nor- thwood, Wonder Lake, crossed the center line of E. Wonder Lake road and struck the Zuidema auto. Schleicher was not injured and was charged with driving while intoxicated and driving in the wrong lane. Dale Collins, of 2207 Fairview, McHenry, was driving north on Riverside drive when his lear went off the road and struck a large tree.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 8, 1970) . Discontented taxpayers from "th£ county, most of them from Whispering Oaks community of McHenry, filled the Circuit courtroom to hear the presentation of appeals to the state board. All appeals were based on the contention that the assessment of real estate in this county is excessive. Mrs. J.R. (Eve) Levesque of McCullom Lake has been selected to lead the activities of the McHenry Township Republican WomenX club. According to the structitre of the organization, she was next in line to succeed Mrs. Grant (Gerry) Ernst of Wonder Lake, who an­ nounced her resignation at the last meeting.

Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 Resident In Nursing Home Lucille Abbt, a long-time resident of Wonder Woods subdivision, has definitely been running a streak of bad luck with her health the past year. She has been in and out of the hospital undergoing surgery and recuperating from broken bones. Mrs. Abbt has now been moved to a nursing home and is very lonesome for some news from Wonder Lake. I'm certain a letter (ft* even a card would cheer her up a great deal. She can be reached at Americana Nursing Home, 510 Broadway, Normal, 111. 61761. NEW REGISTRAR Even though Fall and election time seem far off, don't wait until the last minute to become a registered voter.

Mrs. Marge Evans of Wonder Woods has taken back the job of registrar that she held in the pahi. She would be more than happy to register you at her home. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Otto Pose celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary with relatives and friends at­ tending an outdoor party at Pose's corral Sunday, June 22. One of their daughters came from Park Ridge to attend, while their other daughter traveled from Florida. A Softball game was fun for everyone except Denise Graff who ended up with an injured finger. Being the sports enthusiast that she is, I'm sure it didn't dampen her spirits and she will be right back at it again, the next time the Poses, celebrate another an­ niversary!

BUTCOSTLY . Chemicals have helped farmers increase efficiency and productivity in Illinois, the state that leads all other states in the amount of agricultural products it exports. Illinois farmers use about 10 percent of all farm chemicals used in the United Slates, but the price of those chemicals is continuing to climb. This increases the cost of producing much of the world's food. Much of the increase in cost is because of government over-regulation, according to Dr. Earl Spurrier of Monsanto Chemical Corporation. He says agricultural chemical companies must satisfy one regulation after another from a host of government agencies, thus increasing the cost of producing chemicals. yj 7 -* I ON l Y RENTAL • NO installation charge • NEW fully automatic softeners • TWO year option to buy with "V" , • FULL rental fee deducted * • ONE phone call can answer any questions rent 312-259-3393 soft ARLINGTON SOFT WATER CO.
