He noted that the utility had done a lot of the work at no cost to the city. The council approved the request with an unanimous vote. Mayor Stanek noted a letter that had been received from the McHenry County Association for the Retarded requesting an interpretation of the "R- 4" multi-family zoning classification. The association is applying for funding to build two group homes near the intersection of Front and Lillian to house a small number of develop- mentally disabled adults. The council voiced no objection to the project and left the matter with the city attorney and zoning enforcement of­ ficer to determine if the use is per­ mitted in the classification. In other business, the City Council will be looking further into a request from a local restaurant to put tables outside the building. Council members voiced questions concerning liability. The council approved a request from Superintendent of Public Works Richard Weber to retain up to six summer employees to help with work in Knox park. A motion to include the position of alderman in the Illinois Municipal Retirement fund failed for lack of a second. Members of the council felt the position did not meet the 600-hour-per- year requirement for inclusion in the pension program. The council went into executive session to discuss matters of pending litigation and personnel, but no action was taken. Dr. Richard Farmer, superintendent of District 15, and Robert Swartzloff, superintendent of District 156, accepted developer donation checks in the amount of $19,007.50, which had been collected by the City of McHenry.

Information on non-credit and adult education courses which begin in Oc­ tober will be included in a schedule mailed to all residents of the college district the end of August. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) it necessary to employ many girls. Because of the nature of the work, where speed and the ability to stand for long hours were part of the job, it was probably in the best interest of the business that only young people be hired. But it was impossible not to compare the service of two particular young employees. As we did, it became evident that within an age group, as well as between age groups, all the difference lies in the individual. One was quick to offer service, ex­ pressed a genuine concern for pleasing us, and returned to see if we were satisfied. The other appeared bored, said she would bring the salad as soon as she could, forgot the cheese for the spaghetti and the cream for the coffee. How she kept her job was a mystery that is repeated daily in encounters with employees. All of these musings convince us that many employers - and some of them are in our own town - are paying out their money for less efficiency than is available. And it's their own fault. This may be the Year of the Disabled, but in too many cases this is a slogan only. Discrimination toward women and racial minorities receive pressure, but we can't see much improvement in the lot of the past-40 or those with handicaps. KAF Church Asks Zoning Change A petition has been filed for hearing before the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals by the First Baptist church, Wonder Lake, and the Wonder Lake Fire Protection district for a conditional use of the McHenry county zoning ordinance's "R-l" Residential district and "B-l" Business district to permit a church on the property. The property is located in McHenry township on the east side of East Wonder Lake Wonder Lake road between Oak And Mohawk streets and consists of eight lots. The hearing on this petition will be held Aug. 20, at 2 p.m. in Room 112 of the McHenry county courthouse, 2200 North Seminary avenue, Woodstock. All those who may be interested may appear and be heard. BEACH SAMPLING Water samples collected from swimming beaches by the McHenry County Department of Health Aug. 10 and 11, were obtained from several beaches on the Fox river and from some of the lakes in the county. Those beaches at which there were two consecutive unsatisfactory samples and which the department will be posting as unsafe for swimming are: Riverside Drive beach, Fox river; Village of McCullom Lake; Wonder Woods No. 4, Wonder Woods No. 3, Hickory Falls No. 3, Indian Ridge No. 2, Deep Springs Woods No. 1 and Wonder View, all Wonder Lake. Fiesta Follow-Up Makes Another Try Thursday Fortunately for all concerned, the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce cancelled the Friday evening en­ tertainment for Pearl street park when the weather warnings were severely serious even though the sun appeared through the clouds throughout the afternoon. The thunderstrom invaded McHenry at about the time the band and all the concessionaires would have been setting up. In a Fiesta Follow-up, the band scheduled to appear during this special week has been rescheduled for this Thursday, Aug. 20,at Pearl street park, 8 -11 p.m. Barring any further severe weather, the community will yet get its chance to hear the country-western music and. enjoy refreshments ai)d the Coriipahionship of friends And" neigh­ bors. As previously planned, there is no admission charge, but proceeds from all the refreshments will go to the Fireworks fund. The Police association plans to have a dunk tank on the grounds, with proceeds going to the children's bowling league. The entire community is invited to attend.
