Meyer, mortgage loan officer, pointed out that tj»e McHenry State bank has always been s leader in the home mortgage field. Meyer invites prospective purchasers and-or local realtors to call for more information. Meyer said that unfortunately, deregulation of interest rates and the volatility of rates have made the long term fixed rate mortgage a thing of the past. Ormel J. Prust, executive vice- president, said, "We are- not in­ terested in speculative loans but any owner occupied home mortgage request in the McHenry area will receive prompt attention." Prust added, "The McHenry State bank's ability to take this action points out one of the strengths of our Illinois banking system of unit banks. We can make our own decisions to help our own community and we do not have to wait for instructions or do what everyone else does because our bank is not part of a huge branching or multi-bank holding company system. We make our own decisions right here in McHenry, decisions based solely on what is best for the McHenry area." MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) cent of them non-Americans. The proposed legislation would eliminate benefits for non-resident aliens after they have received back what they paid into Social Security, saving up to $700 million per year, according to General Accounting office figures. The idea for the new law emerged after some sleuthing into abuses and inequities which found that one non­ resident paid only $397 into the system and received over $42,000 in benefits. They also found that just a few years ago 2,070 Mexican students were receiving student Social Security benefits while enrolled in Mexican universities. The average tuition cost at the time was $10; the students were receiving an average of $93 monthly from S.S. And there are also scams, too lengthy in detail to describe, that allow the collection of thousands of dollars in benefits each year for people who will probably never set foot in this country. One of the sponsors of the legislation FRIDAY, MAY 2t. ltt* to remedy this .sbuse has described the Social Security act as having become "a Christmas tree of programs with a little bit of something for everyone". Unfortunately, the roots have become weakened to the point whert today we are scrambling to find revenue sources to keep them alive. Our country has welcomed untold numbers of aliens who have already received the privilege of the right to work and live freely in our country. It is a right not offered to non-citizens of many other countries. But there seems little reason to lavish Social Security benefits on former holders of S.S. cards who don't wish to stay here. It was never' the intent of Social Security. When they have received back what they paid in, that seems sufficient. It's only s beginning, and a small one at that, but let's hope Congress them takes that first step toward solvency.

"It's my belief that the people who will occupy the developed property here -- mnHfil practitftoocrs -- should be able to practice and ply their trade and whatever ramifications are necessary," Harrison Mid. "Now, that is not, of necessity, competitive to the hospital Kse. But if it were, that's just too because that's the basis of our Constitution and free enterprise syttem." Harrison also said he understood the legal definition of a "medical clinic" to be "a group of physftdans working in close association." In this extent only, Harrison said, was he jesting s medical clinic. Iradishsr interjected. "I Just want to say for the record that we do not want to compete with the hospital. You haveto be a hospital to comffete with the hospital." * . "Why do you want B-3?" asked Fouse. •* "I don't want to have a fight later on as to esch clinic that comes in whether or not it is consistent with the zoning ordinance and have the fear that the hospital will come along and say 'Wait a minute, that violates the usage you've been given,'" Gradiahar said. The petitioner's attorney said he did not want to exclude any future uses by reciting a list of what would be per- missable under the B-l classification "We're not trying to be a hospital, you have to believe that," Gradishar said. "We're not trying to comj with any of the hoapital's sources of income." . "If we jeopardize the hospital's viability, we are hurting ourselves," Gradiahar said. "We don't want any technical interpretation of the zoning ordinance that would hinder their right to practice." At the close of the hearing, Ladd said he hoped the Zoning board would continue the matter. In the interim, Ladd said he would discuss the differences of in­ terpretation with Gradishar and see if an understanding could be reached. s"The concerns of the hospital are clear," Ladd said. "The legal association Harrison is talking about is in no way, shape or form prohibited by B-l zoning. The kind of equipment or service we are talking about ex­ cluding are not those normally associated with an individual's practice." The zoning board unanimously passed two motions: one to subpoena Laufer and his records and one to recess the hearing to June 11 st 3 p.m. ^ SSrociiiiiSrocsiixixixicxixiiixirjl ________ comments saying, this comes as a surprise to we were just asking for what we asked for the first time, which is B-J. ZBA Chairman James Fouse then noted that the move to re-amend the petition came as s surprise, not only to Ladd, but to the board ss well. "Why don't we just proceed with your testimony at this time and let the board make up its own mind," Fouse said. Gradishar then called real estate appraiser Herbert F. Harrison, of 192S Woodlawn Park, McHenry, to testify on behalf of the petitioner. Harrison told the Zoning board it was his recommendstion thst precipitated the amendment of the petition to the original B-3. He said that, in his opinion, the "highest and best use" of the land would be B-3 commercial, according to the city zoning ordinance. "The B-3 classification ir the city and the B-l classification in the county tend to have parallels in uses per­ mitted, specifically talki lg about medical uses permitted in both," Harrison said. "Similar permitted uses in the city are only in B-3 and not in B-l. So, going from B-3 to B-l is diminishing in the uses permitted." All other things being equal, a property having one classification that is more restrictive than another classification will have less value in the marketplace, Harrison explained. . Harrison argued further that a B-3 commercial zoning would be con­ sistent with the McHenry Com- DEPUTY WILL STAY ON DUTY (Cowrtwued from pagt 1) be working under other The agreement provides that in November the sheriff would evaluate the employee's l end st that time either witMkaw the or proceed with the f imiossl or disciplinary action. MacArthur noted thst this "hiatus" would "give nature s chance to work" and would dear the air. To Winikates he said, "I know you can be a good deputy. This solution is good for all." McGuire agreed that this approach would be the best an* swer to his client's problem. Sugden reminded all parties that other disciplinary action would be open to the sheriff for sny future problemt with Winikates, thst this did not preclude normal disciplinary procedures. This did not mean six months' immunity, he cautioned. The hearing opened with extensive debate by both couneeb over the extent of due process Winikates was entitled to and how much his attorney would be allowed, contended that this wss not a criminal proceeding, not even a full Mown hearing, and the sheriff felt the ac­ cused was not entitled to more than minimal due process. The, at­ torney for the accused should not be permitted "to engage in a fishing expedition." McGuire. insisting that he needed more documents such as the per­ sonnel file and the bill of particulars against Winikates. responded that "due process is basically fair play. He added, "A counsel is not worth s hill of beans unless counsel Ik informed." If discovery were refused then the "hearing is a sham," and he could not go forward with it. He was allowed access to the personnel file and some other documents. Testimony was elicited only from Winikates and his supervisor, Sgt. Glen C. Olson, before the hearing was halted. Sugden sought to prove that Winikates was unproductive in his job because he did not write enough traffic tickets and serve as many warrants as other deputies. However, under questioning by McGuire, it appeared there were no standards for these operations. By. policy, the sheriff's department does not have a ticket quota, it was explained. Efforts by Sugden to have Winikates himself to testify about his concept of job standards was blocked by McGuire, who insisted thst it was the function of supervision to set the standards. The introduction of a transcript of the tape recording of a counseling session of Winikstes conducted by his supervisors was deferred when it seemed uncertain whether the transcript wss complete DR.

'CONFE&RftJ' IN MURDER SUSPECT (Conthmad froai page 1) named Laurence Neumann as the killer of "a man and woman" in McHenry county in June of last year. A double slaying did occur June 2 in the P.M. Pub, 238 Rand road, Lakemoor, where the bodies of Ronald Scharff, 37, and Patricia Freeman, 31, were found in the living quarters of the tavern. On June 3, when the bodies of the tavern owner and the barmaid were discovered, Chief Deputy Sheriff George Hendle, who heads the sheriff's detective division, said that both victims suffered gunshot wounds in the chest area. He said robbery could be ruled out as a motive of the crime because a substantial amount of money was fouhd at ths murder scene. The disclosure involving Culotta was reportedly made by Charles Parsons, the FBI's chief of organized crime in Las Vegas. He said Culotta told federal in­ vestigators that 54-year-old Neumann, a fellow Chicago hoodlum, had killed a man and* a woman about three weeks before last July 4, when members of the Hole in the Wail gang were arrested in Las Vegas. Chief Hendle said his office could not make a determination on the small amount of information the FBI has on the matter. "We have to work on direct evidence," Hendle said. Hendle said it will be about two weeks before they can talk to the informant. "We'll lopk into it," he said. However, he didn't seem to have much faith in the source of the statements made in Las Vegas. The sheriffs detectives have been working on the unsolved slayings for almost one year and indicate they have valuable clues and a "prime" suspect in the case, who is not Neumann.
