JOHNSBURG SCHOOLS GO COMPUTER (Continued from pog* I) Gerald Sobiesk, Building and Grounds Approval was given for the pur­ chase of three new buses in ac­ cordance with the regular replacement schedule. An experiment with the use of propane fuel on several buses last year was so successful that a conversion will be made on the new buses Dr Andreas noted that while the mileage remains about the same for the different fuels, there is about a 40 percent savings in the cost of propane. Two vocational education teachers were hired as replacements for in­ structors who are leaving teaching for private sector employment. HARMS FARM 4727 W.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pogo I) Now there is reason to believe he may someday run out of miracles and all because we're taking his best farmland away from him. The country has more than a billion acres in farmland, but only about one- third of it, or 345 million acres of it -is considered prime farmland. That figure is decreasing by a million acres each year to housing tracts, airports, industrial sites, shopping centers, etc. A National Resources inventory tells us that in less than 18 years, by the year 2000, we could be in dire straits if the present trend continues. The prediction is that Florida, which produces half of the world's grapefruit and a quarter of the world's oranges, will have no prime farmland at all. All of it, they say, will have disappeared also from Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Several other states are listed to lose as much as three-fourths of their prime farmland, and as little as one- eighth All others will be down 10 percent if the report is correct. The positive note that action now could prevent an all-out farmland crisis is tempered by the solemn reminder that successful attempts by state and local governments to stem the loss have been few. The exodus from the city in recent years has been, at least in paift enjoy a hit/rf open country .. Will these people be SAing, "What country" in less than 20 years? ^ KAF CONCERN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (Continued from peg* 1) Mrs Hughes said an early step should be to establish guidelines for development and form a public relations image of t^e county's assets She commented that, up to now, the EDC has been mapping potential in­ dustrial sites throughout the county without regard for land use, soil types or t<win| classification. Sites had also been placed on the present land use map, which expanded designated commercial and industrial zones. Mrs. Hughes observed that excessive labeling of sites for industrial pur poses tends to aggravate pressure to convert less expensive farm land abutting commercial zones. WATER PROBLEMS BRING VOICED FRUSTRATION Prairie to Shore, which is primarily peat. Peat is not the most stable of soils and vibrates as heavy equip­ ment, i.e. trucks loaded with road materials pass overhead. This could lead to a water main break, Higgins said. "After the lowering of the valves and pipes, we thought our problems were over," Higgins explained. He noted, however, that on three separate occasions, the company (and customers) had problems with the pump at the main well. "The pumps went out on three occasions," he said. "Pumps don't go out unless there Is an external force. We've replaced the wiring and put in two motors. It could be low voltage, vibration; I don't know." Higgins said the company has hired an engineer to get another well in operation, which will automatically take over should another outage oc­ cur. He estimated the well would be on-line in two months. Higgins said boil orders were given in two major situations -- main breaks, outages, etc. and in certain situations where long-term road construction can lead to problems "This summer is different (because of the construction)," he said. "We can only try to reach as many people as we can." Residents felt something more should have been done than the one mailing. Higgins said another letter was sent to 40 or 50 homes subjected to an extended outage, but residents of these home said no letter was received. One person noted that in Pistakee Highlands the water company puts "boil water" signs at all entrances to to subdivision to catch the people coming home from work, etc. Higgins said signs would be made and posted when boil orders were issued. A number of residents confronted Higgins with individual problems, which he said he could not address without information from the office. He advised them to call the next day during regular business hours. When asked if he would make a door-to-door canvass in the event of another outage, Higgins replied, "I Id fcpte to make a door-to-door imitment. It depends upon what ;ns. A number of residents said they had all experienced a similar illness and believed it to be caused by the water and asked who should be notified. Lindstrom said, "If you suspect it's the water, notify the water company, the Health department and the EPA." Lindstrom reiterated his suggestion that the people work through the city council to resolve the water problems. "Go to your aldermen and say we would like you to start working on this thing," Lindstrom said. "They have the administration to run iL It's got to cost leas to the loaf ns." He cautioned residents not to expect other rasldsnts to the city toi 'You just have to write it all down and ace what the figures leek like," Lindstrom said. The EPA representative advised residents to look into a number of alternatives. "Get the costs, but don't Jost look at a million dollars," Lindstrom said. "Find out what the cost per month will be. That's what you'll be psying." Kids' Krusade At City Church The McHenry Church of God is sponsoring a Kids' Krusade Aug. 16-29 for children from the age of 3 through 12.

A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION IN DENTISTRY I I I I I I I Hie plans for the Freund Family Fest are in full swing, according to the reunion committee members, Bar- bara Gerasch, Roman and Phyllis Bauer, Hank and Sue Nell, Catharine Fredrick and Robert Sutton. The family reunion will be held Saturday, Sept. 4, starting a 1 p.m. and con­ tinuing until 7 p.m. at the Johnaburg Community club. Responses from Freund deacen- dants have come in from many states, including Alasks, California, Colorado, Maryland, Minneaota, Washington, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Oregon, Michigan and Iowa as well as many parts of Illinois including the McHenry area. A special Mass will be celebrated at 4 p.m. by Fr. Leo Bartel, pastor of St. John's, in the church that the early settlers of Johnsburg founded. This Mass will be highlighted by Freund descendants who will be assisting in the celebration as lectors, ushers, acolytes etc. A special display of maps and pictures of the areas in Prussia from which the German immigrants came (now West Germany) will be one of the features of the day. Also on display will be the two pedigree charta that guest of honor, Dr. Hanna Egon Freund, has prepared. The first shows the lineage of Freund deacendanta who originated from the village of Engeln and the second is one for those who came from the village of Boos. A third feature will be the pictures of the "old timers" to be brought by every one participating. Dr. Freund has spent 30 years in the pursuit of this ancestry. Along the way, he has collected much data, not only on the Freunds but alao on related families, many of whom emigrated from the Eifel area at the same time as the Freunds. Namea are familiar in the area today such as Adams. Ax, Bantus, Blohm, Bohr, Clasen, Daub, Degen, Engels, Hilt, Junger, May, Muller, Pung, Ret- terath, Schmitt, Schneider, Steffens, Simons, Thelen, Thoenes and Wagener. Dr. Freund is anxioua to share information with other parsons who are willing to share their Freund information with him. Lineage charts and family group sheets are available to assist those desiring to do this. For more information on this, one may call Phyllis Bauer at 3854836. Anyone with an intereat in the history of Johnsburg is welcome to attend the reunion. One need not be a Freund to "qualify". Those who wish to attend are asked to call Barbara Gerasch at 385-0888 for details and reaervations. The committee will greatly appreciate everyone's cooperation in making reservations so they will be able to provide facilities and beverages for the rise crowd anticipated. The last Freund family reunion, held some years ago, resulted in 800 people turning out. Since this is for an even larger family - descendants from all the Freund family groupa - it is expected this crowd will greatly exceed that figure.
