PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JULY 24. mi \ FIESTA DAYS FINAL EVENTS SUNDAY (Continued from page 1) mittees have worked tirelessly to make this midsummer event something to remember with pleasure far into the future. The evening brings to life the pageantry of Drum Copra Magic at McCracken Held on Kane avenue. Gates open at 6 p.m. for last minute tickets, and the competition begins at 7 as six midwest championship drum corps bring their artistry to this stirring performance. Against a background of flying silks, waving plumes, and choreographic marvels, the corps transport an audience through musical realms of jazz, pop, Broadway, and patriotic favorites, creating a night of outstanding entertainment. Reserved seat tickets may be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce office at 12S7 N. Green street this week, as can general admission tickets. Performing in this year's Drum Corps Magic are the Cavaliers of Park Ridge, 111., ; the Emerald Knights of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; the Guardsmen of Schaumburg, 111.,; the Knights of Geneseo, 111.; the Pioneers, of Cedarburg, Wis.; and the Saginaires of Saginaw, Mich. These outstanding units will present their panoply of color, music and dazzling precision for the perfect finish to the community's festival. COUNTY OFFICES RELOCATED (Continued from page 1) ordinances and adopted several resolutions. A prevailing wage ordinance for workers on county projects funded by state and federal monies was adopted by the board, over the objection of some members. A state law requires the county to adopt prevailing wage rates for persons employed in performing construction of public works for the county, exclusive of maintenance work. Board member John O'Hagen said he did not approve of adopting wage rates provided by the Department of Labor. "I have no objection to the prevailing wage rule as long as it is based on a county rate," O'Hagen said. "We should conduct a survey ourselves and set our own prevailing rate," he added. "We have to abide by these rules when we're using state and federal money," Finance Committee Chair­ man Clint Claypool explained. County Highway Superintendent James Rakow urged the board to move ahead with the adoption of the required wage rate ordinance. "We don't want the state turning down our MFT (Motor Fuel Tax) contracts," he said. It was suggested that the county conduct its own survey of prevailing wage rates before adopting a similar ordinance next year. ^ * The board honored retiring Chairman of the Board of Review Walter J. Dean, former County board chairman and member, for his conscientious attitude in the performance of his duties. The board went on record Tuesday in expressing its appreciation to Dean for his service to the county. A resolution was also adopted by the board Tuesday on the occasion of the retirement of Mildred A. Lundborg who has served more than 30 years in the state's attorney's office "with great dedication, efficiency and courtesy, having always the interest of the people of the county at heart." The board, by resolution, authorized Chairman Ronald J. Morris to appoint a special committee on economical development. The tasks of the special committee would include the inventory of staff resources within the county govern­ ment which is able to provide technical support to the economic development efforts of the county. The Economic Development com­ mittee will be asked to develop and recommend, by Dec. 1, "appropriate short and long range economical development objectives and a simple, economical and effective permanent organization structure to plan, organize and implement the county's economic development objectives." SAVE ACHIEVE PROGRAM" (Continued from page 1) clerical aide also at West. The board approved the hiring of Bonnie Ruggers as part-time P.E. instructor and Denise Hay as English instructor. In another action, the board okayed ah administration request to restructure an athletic trainer position to permit staff members to fulfill that function for the three main athletic seasons at an estimated annual cost of $3,636. This is being done to replace Earl Cooper, who as a semi-retired professional, acted as trainer for the school athletic department for a number of years and who will be sorely missed, the board was told. Use of trainers in athletic programs is now a matter of policy in most large schools, the board learned. Ap­ propriately educated trainers can minimize chance of injury to par­ ticipants by their presence at athletic contests. In other business, the board approved changes in teacher evaluation policy, clarifying the language and removing ambiguities. The board also okayed bids for cafeteria supplies, bus maintenance materials, a swimming pool timing device, and asphalt paving bids at both schools. The funding of the pool timing device is through the McHenry Warriors Booster club which will cost $2,990 from Taroda Industries at Chicago. Maintenance will be by the school, according to Mike Kelly, business manager. Successful bidders on the blacktopping were Pioneer Blcaktop, Inc., Grayslake, at $1,620 for East campus and Bull Valley Asphalt, McHenry, at $1,537.90 for West. In preparation for the coining year, the board approved two-and-one-half days of in-service training or parent conferences that will take place Oct. 9, Feb. 26, 1962, and part of May 7, 1962. Purpose of the days were given as: to provide open communication between parents and teachers and to provide staff with additional training on the use of new audio visual equipment and techniques. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) about 8,000 with publication twice weekly. Mary came to the Plaindealer when the crowded office was located on Green street, just north of the Green- Elm intersection and just back of the Unti tavern. There were many stories die could have told if her friends and co-workers had not been so actively relating their own stories which focused on her career years. She could have told of the days when there was no air conditioning and desks of the front office employees were almost on top of each other. When the big Greyhound buses stopped for passengers, with motors running, the summer heat and odor from the vehicle exhausts were enough to send the bookkeeper home with a headache. Air conditioning and the absence of buses help the situation today. But an Uncle Sam determined to assure the sale of aspirin with his red tape, has added chores to the bookkeeper's job to replace the improvements in tem­ perature and air. A move to the present Elm street address 20 years ago brought a spaciousness that added to the pluses. In a transient society, where job locations send workers here and there within a year, rather than through the years, it is refreshing to see a loyalty that keeps an employee with the same firm for as long as 25 years. Friends remembered her with humorous helps for her bookkeeping. They also remembered her with more serious reflections on her contributions to the growth and successful operation of the newspaper she has Worked so well to build. Friends are made in many ways. Among the best are those we acquire - and hold - through some of the most trying days of the working world. KAF FORMER BOARD MEMBERS ACT FOR NEW HOSPITAL (Continued from page 1) McGee, Daniel M. Schmitt, Mary A. Snyder and Virginia Williams, R.N. The Legislative Advisory committee of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce met with McHenry hospital association officials at a luncheon meeting Monday, July 20, at the hospital complex. Ken Bast, executive director of McHenry hospital, presented the history and current status of the complex project of the relocation and enlargement. The Legislative Advisory committee is sanctioned by the board of directors1 * to activate a task force to effectively assist in acquiring the Certificate of Need from the State of Illinois, which is the first step toward the new McHenry hospital. In November of 1960, the Chamber TMS IS A PRACTICE PEAK Aim FOR THE REAL THING. LISTEN 10 YOUR RADlb. If today were a real Peak Alert, we'd be on the radio asking you to conserve as much electricity-as you could between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m., when the use of air- conditioning is greatest. \ To keep your home at 78 degrees, no lower. (The colder you make it, the more electricity your air-conditioner has to use.) ~ To postpone washing, drying or ironing'clothes during the day. To cook outdoors if you possibly can. To vacuum early or not at all. To read a book instead of watching a lot of TV. To run your dishwasher after you go to bed. ^ To take a shower instead of a bath. (A bath uses more hot water and makes your electric water heater work overtime.) Anything you can add to the list would be greatly appreciated. Now, the world isn't going to come to an end if you don't conserve. Your electric bill is just going to go up. For instance. Say we have three or four scorchers back to back and everybody turns the air-conditioning on full blast. When you add that to the normal daily demand for electricity, it's easy to run short. Unless we start every backup power plant that's available, regardless of now small or how old. Worse yet, some of them use awfully expensive fuels, like oil. Which means the cost of producing each extra kilowatthour of electricity goes up to more than 14 cents. That's 18 times more than our nuclear generators can do it for, and the extra fuel costs get passed along to you in the fuel adjustment charge on your electric bill. Besides, if everybody can just cut down a little on Peak Alert days, we won't have to build as many new plants in the years ahead. And they're a big reason for rate increases in general. So in peak demand periods, we'll go on the radio to warn everybody that we're having a Peak Alert and it's time to conserve every way they can. It pays. If we all conserve, we all save. In case you need practice, make a dry run today. ( Commonwealth Edisbn Dorit take tomorrow lor granted. passed a reoslution in support of the relocation and enlargement program. A reiteration of that resolution has been forwarded to Ms. Taylor and all those board members as well as all HSA- KLM board members. Members of the Chamber have Men individually asked to write to the Planning board and to all their legislators to announce their united support and elicit the support of all members of the voting bodies for the Certificate of Need. Many Serve In Rescue Work CYCLIST INJURED (Continued from page 1) Woodstock, refused to make a statement concerning the accident. Howell was arrested for driving while intoxicated and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. In another accident, John P. Doessel, of 1006 Center street, McHenry, was ticketed for negligent driving after his car crashed into a parked car on Green street last Saturday. Doessel said he was heading north on Green street when a bee flew into the car. The driver stated he was going to swing at the insect when his car hit the parked vehicle. The driver of the other car was t Ronnie Fay Hayhurst, of 3701 James street, McHenry. Make Arrest After Fight A fight outside the St. Regis tavern on Green street ended when McHenry police arrested two area men. Ronald L. Miller, 19, of 3111 East­ wood, Wonder Lake, and Michael T. Bishop, 23, of 2610 Henzada, McHenry, were charged with fighting. McHenry police arrested Donald E. Ficarrotta, 19, of 4014 Kane, McHenry, who was charged with criminal trespassing following a domestic dispute. Mary H. Lenz, of 4519 Parkview, McHenry, was arrested by McHenry police for theft under $150 at an area store.

All of the above will be included in the recognition of the Rescue squad Sun­ day, even though only a small number will be riding in the parade. The board of Johnsburg high school District 12 entertained a presentation on the use of propane gase in school buses at the first July meeting. For economic reasons the board is con­ sidering a trial program of propane use in some of their buses in an effort tp further reduce transportation costs for operation of their buses. The presentation indicated the savings in fuel costs would be enhanced by a marked improvement in upkeep on buses using propane. Fraser Scholes presented a possible solution to the drainage problems and was authorized to finalize documents for the solution at the July 28 board meeting. Mileage reimbursement for school vehicles used for school business was increased from 17 cents to the IRA allowable of 20 cents per mile. Lock fees will also be increased to $3 for high school with a $1.50 refund, and junior high to $3 with $1.75 refund. The difference in the refund amounts is that the high school students use the locks for four years whereas junior high students-use them for three years. Ben Beck was employed as new head basketball coach. He has been em­ ployed by the Malta school system. Miss Sue Cassagranda was employed to teach music in the junior high school. She comes to Johnsburg from Wisconsin and replaces Tom Steffens, who will be going into private business.
