UNDEALER - WEDNESDAY PUBLIC LIBRARY GROWS AND GROWS (Continued from page 1) books a month," Ms. Stuart said. She admitted there was some problem in getting books returned to the library. "We do rave fines, but there are still those people who won't return the books or don't care to," Ms. Stuart pointed out. The library also maintains current editions of about' 118 magazines and has about 1,500 records on hand for people to check out. A little known service of the McHenry Public library, Ms. Stuart said, was the availability of art prints. The prints can be checked out of the library for 30 days at a time. She commented that the library also has a community meeting room which will hold 65 people comfortably and is open to the public or not-for-profit organizations. Ms. Stuart noted that the library is actually much larger than the McHenry building because of its association with both the Northern Illinois Library system and a new intrastate system. "In the new system, all the libraries in the state cooperate," she said. "Including the law and manufacturing libraries. We can get just about any book in a day or two." "We hope people will be patient with us," Ms. Stuart said. "With the increase in circulation, there has been no increase in the size of the staff."

Two Chicago people were injured Sunday when the motorcycle they were riding collided with a deer on Wilmot road. The Johns burg Rescue squad took James R. and Lois Minick, both of 4 N. 139 Kenwood, West Chicago, to McHenry hospital for examination and treatment of injuries.

RESUME ACTION FOR LIBRARY (Continued from page 1) Jjrpjrct last year, there was I substantial delay in the ad­ ministration of the funds because of the change in government. "As far as we know, the funds are in Springfield," Stewart said. This was confirmed by NILS executive director, Lila Brady, he added. "The meeting Thursday night will be the first concrete meeting we've had," Stewart said. The organizational meeting will involve setting up com­ mittees for various parts of the project. Stewart explained that most of the administration and financial aspects of the project will be handled by NILS. However, interested citizen volunteers will be handling site location, public relations, organizing volunteer help, etc. He noted that NILS will administer funds to provide a library for the first year. "Around December, we have to have a referendum petition for the April election," Stewart said. "If the voters like it and pass the referendum, then the federal money continues until the tax money starts coming in. After that, a library board is elected and it con­ tinues on its own." Stewart said some interested citizens visited some of the Project Plus libraries in the western suburbs and commented, "They seem to be working very well." "We hope to open in August," Stewart said. "We don't know how much in­ terest there is but hopefully there will be a lot." The Thursday meeting will show how much community interest there is, Stewart concluded. The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. April 22, at Borre's restaurant. KICKOFF ACTION GOAL TO RETAIN INDUSTRY (Continued from page 1) special committee was appointed to study the problem. Statistics gathered during the feasibility study revealed that economic growth in the county during all of the past decade had not kept pace with the population growth, as follows: ...New jobs significantly lagged behind population growth from 1970-78. ...Per capita income (1970-75) lagged behind other northeastern Illinois counties, the state and the nation. ...A smaller fraction of income each of those years was earned within the county by its residents. After the Economic Development Committee was officially established, its guidelines were drafted. These state the committee will: ...Provide leadership to encourage business and industry to establish or continue expansion. ...Act as a liaison between govern­ ment, industry, business and developers of existing and new businesses. .... Review requests for industrial revenue bonds or financing to further building and expansion of business and industry.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' 1 (Continued from page 1) health care and asked, "Can we really afford the high cost?" And sophistication - or the desire for expansion - has been the answer for most of our spiraling costs. Social Security falls into the latter category. A number of organised ef­ forts are out to do something about it, but to date there are no results. Among numerous recent studies, one answer to a long-term solution to the problem calls for the monstrous system to be divided into two parts. One would be a retirement insurance program in which everyone who paid Social Security taxes could expect to receive what they and their employees paid in, plus interest through an an­ nuity insurance plan. The second part would be a sup­ plement retirement benefit funded from general tax revenues and paid to those whose Social Security payment, combined with any other sources of revenue, is insufficient to maintain a minimum living standard. _ The economist whose study mandates division into two parts was com­ missioned by independent small business men and women. His proposal eliminates social transfer payments to the non-poor, which he claims would result in a cost reduction and make the system more equitable. ' The bureaucracies which created our necessary services are all at work trying to get their houses in order so that we can afford them.

Judge Roland Herrmann delivered his verdict in 19th Judicial Circuit court against the 19-year-old defendant, accused of the March 7, 1960 armed robbery at Ron's Shell Station on U.S. 14, Crystal Lake. Assistant State's Attorney Henry Sugden prosecuted the case against Booras, who was defended by lawyer Edward Downs. Booras is free on $30,600 bond. Herrmann set sentencing for May 12. The offense of armed robbery is a Class X felony, which carries a minimum of six years imprisonment. A co-defendant in the case, 20-year- old Timothy D. Wenninger of 1641 Kimberly, Elgin, pleaded guilty to armed robbery Dec. 14 and was sen­ tenced to serve six years imprisonment by Herrmann on Jan. 25.

Both defendants were also jointly charged with armed robberies March 8 and 14, 1960 at Chain O' Lakes Oil Company, 4710 W. Elm St., McHenry, and with the April 12, 1980 armed robbery at the Clark Gas Station, 487 Virginia St., Crystal Lake. School Vote On Personnel by Marion Olsen School personnel business led the series of actions taken at the regular April 13 meeting of the District 15 school board. ' The board voted authorization to offer school bus drivers the opportunity to participate in the Illinois Municipal Retirement fund. Previously, because of their part time status, the drivers had not been included. The par­ ticipation is optional and the district's cost will be nominal according to the school superintendent, Dr. Richard Farmer. In a 5-1 vote, the school superin­ tendent's three-year contract was ratified. Board member Gerald Bun­ ting dissented and board member Arthur T. Newbrough was absent. In other personnel action, the resignation of Frank Fontana and termination of Tom Christy were reported.

They include Tim O'Toole, Fritz Larsen, David Smith, Doug Maris, Bill will be between $225-1250 per student depending on the actual total enrollment, paid by the district. Transportation per student will cost about $175-1200. Dr. Farmer said that 80 percent of transportation costs are reimbursed to the district and $2,000 of the tuition costs are usually reim­ bursed. Parents are required to pay a registration fee, he said. A low bid by A.B. Dick company for mimeograph, duplicator and Xerography paper was accepted. Discussion of changes in the board of education policy to conform with the new Open Meetings act led to con­ tinuing proposed policy amendments until the May meeting. Membership in the Legislative In­ terest network of Kishwaukee was considered. LINK is a network of school boards for united legislative action. Dr. Farmer and Gerald Bunting had reviewed the program. Due primarily to the newness of the program, Bunting moved that District 15 participation be delayed and reconsidered next year.
