Honorable mention for running doee seconds in the voting were Ethel Kuntz and John Doherty. Virginia Williams, better known to her friends as "Ginny," is without doubt one of the moet popular young ladies ever to graduate from the local school. Her interests during the four years have been many and varied and in none has she spared her time or talent. "Ed" Lay has made friends for himself by remaining totally un­ spoiled in spite of the continuous honors which have come his way as a result of his sthletic ability. Harold J.

TEN YEARS AGO (Tsken from the files of June IS, 1972) Acceptance of a tentative budget and authorization of tax anticipation warrants occupied the attention of members of the board of Consolidated School District 15. On roll call the board voted in favor with the ex­ ceptions of Ann Cuda and Robert Thornton. They made no explanations for their reluctance to support the budget. Elmer P. Pflug, president of the board of educstion of Johnsburg School District No. 12, presented Mrs. James C.

She will reign over the McHenry Marine festival this sum­ mer. by Kurt A former McHenry County College trustee is asking the institution to reimburse him for mpiw he in­ curred while serving on the board. Robert WeMtaor of Harvard has requested 92,004 from MCC for driving i menses hs accumulated by at­ tend* 107 meetings between 1078 and' iiii. Hm Wmi election last November. WeMner said last week that hs vetted until March to make a written request for reibursement because he has been bwty since the election. He also ssid there was an illness in die family. WeMtaer said he did not ask the college for expense money while serving ss s trustee because he frit MCC was "s struggling young in­ stitution that needed all the help it could get." A statute, effective December 1000, states that members of the board "shall serve without compensation" but allows reimbursement for "reasonable expenses" incurred while serving as a trustee. Although the statute of limitations runs out after five years, the board has the option of paying Weidner for the additional year requested. Trustee William Ryan said flatly Tuesday njght he would vote against reimbursement. He called on the boanTto "stop portal to portal pay." Ryan is afraid such sn sction would set s precedent, csusing other trustees to demand money. Weidner justified Ids request by recounting an incident at a meeting in his earlier years ss s trustee. While he (hove 00 miles from his ~ home to sttend the meeting, Wekkier said "a college-owned vehicle went into Coventry (subdivision in Crystal Lake) and picked up board members st their homes, delivered them to the meeting, and after the meeting, they1 »*re taken home. Am I to be discriminated against because I live in Harvard?" The matter was tabled until more information can be gathered. The board wants Weidner to adjust his request for SO cents per mile to reflect whet the college wss paying at the time the tripe were made. Board Chairwoman Barbara Kropp also asked thst the rstes paid by the Internal Revenue Service be examined. In another financial matter, the board also postponed sction on s request from Actown-Electrocoil Inc. of Spring Grove to ehste 0100 in real estate taxes for the coming year. The company besed its appeal on sn amendment to the Illinois Revenue Act, effective Jsn. 1, which gives taxing bodies the option of abating taxes up to SI million for a period of 10 years, ft pertains to industrial firms within the taxing district that are newly located, newly formed or un­ dergoing expansion. MCC President Robert Bartlett warned the trustees, "It is s very complicated issue, one in which the board must act upon year by year." The amendment allows periodk review of abatements, according to ' attorney John Purtill. Bartlett ssid such an abatement would further the tax base. "It would show where this college stands in regardi to economic development" Trustee Herb Lutter added, "In the long run, the community and the college definitely will be benefited." But Bartlett is concerned about imw A to Zebra At Li, such sn sction would sffect homeowners. "We hsve to make sure they see it not as an effort to (day up to industry and forget the residents." Trustee Eugene Meyer opposed the request. "All they're (company;*? ficials) are trying to do is open the door. You'U have them coming here by the handfuls." J*. Meyer added that although the ffeo * abatement is "geanuts, it coul^be UlUUBdllUa M UWIMUm I. A Zebra is comii^ to the local library. A McHenry Public library participate in specisl events designed to keep them reading, learning and having fun through the summer vacation. Teachers in the school district will be aware of the library programs under way and will be watching in the fall to see how each young reader has progressed after participating in the library's A to Zebra activities. Parents are encouraged to enroll their children in free summer en­ tertainment that's good for them. A valid library card is all that is needed. This summer we will have story hours for children, 2 to 3 years, 3 to 3 years and 0 to 7 years and 7 to 10 years old A to Zebra is a little like alphabet soup, with something which will ; everyone. Depending on the fc the individual child the library attempt to challenge their skills and introduce them to mc puppetry, story hours and contests Each child who registers for the summer reading program will receive a chart to record the names of the books he or she will read, special bookmarks and a certificate of completion: This year, because the video games are so popular, the library will also give a "pacman" to each child. He can write the titles of the books on the bytes, and put them in his pacman plate and when the teacher asks who read during sum mer vacation the child can show his pacman filled with bytes as record of what they have read. Registration begins June 9 children's room of the library fr a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. initte f ro f l i lO * > •m F N J O * R E S T A U R A N T Q U A U T V A T H O M F ( 8 1 5 ) 3 8 5 - 8 3 0 0 SPENGEL meat pocking corp.

WEDDING STATIONERY Fox Ridge Club Will Aid Saturday Recycling Drive The Fox Ridge Women's club and the McHenry County Defenders will co-sponsor the recycling drive scheduled for Saturday, June 5, from 9 • a.m. to 1 p.m. The drive will be held in the McHenry Market Place parking lot on West Route 120. Recycling conserves the steadily declining supply of natural, according to a McHe Defenders spokesman. "Each time we use a ton of waste * paper, we save 17 trees," she con­ tinued. "In one yeer, by using 11 million tons of waste paper (as we now do in the U.S.), we save 200 million trees from being cut down. Similarly, every time we use copper scrap, lead scrap, aluminum scrap or zinc scrap, we save the natural resources of the world's copper, lead, , aluminum and zinc mines for future generations. Remember that scrap can be used over and over again; it's not just a one-time process. Items which can be brought to the drive include newspapers securely tied (no cardboard, magazines, or junk mail included;, glass containers washed and all plastic or metal removed, steel ("tin") cans rinsed and flattened, used motor oil in plastic or metal containers, and aluminum scrap of all kinds. The public is also invited to take advantage of an immediate buy-back plan now ift effett Ynr'Stl-slamiimm cans brought to the drive. Cans which are crushed snd hsve no bi metal cans mixed in will bring a higher price. The Fox Ridge Women's Club, a social and service club, each year raises funds for some worthwhile community activity. According to Ms. Brenda Litt, president of the club, profits from this yeer's fund-raising efforts will be donated to the Rescue squad.
