In a less monetary vein, Board President Bobbie Hart presented Russell Greenwood with a plaque in appreciation of his volunteer work with the students and schools in the electrical and engineering fields. The board also approved a request to allow each school to establish a school supply store if they choose to do so. Participation in the Youth Advisory council of the American School Service association, a group involved in improving school nutritional programs and testing quality school food service programs, was also approved. In addition, the board moved to adopt a High School Off-Campus independent study policy. Action resulting from executive session included the approval of a special vacation leave for one teacher and the acceptance by Administrators Van Bosch and Perkins of duties previously handled by the Envi ronmenta l Educa t ion coordinator. FIND RAZOR BLADE IN HALLOWEEN CANDY (Continued from pee# 1) concerning five other Halloween candy products. Metal staples were found in Brach's Junior Peanut Butter Rolls. These candies are wrapped in yellow and brown wrappers and are sold in 22-ounce bags. A double-edged razor blade was found in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, pins were discovered in Mars Snickers Bars, staples were detected in Clark's Peanut Butter Kisses, and a thin piece of wire was found in a Tootsie Roll. Police throughout the Chicago area repor ted fewer- than-average Halloween trick-or-treaters making the rounds this year. Where children were out, parents were supervising them to a greater degree. Police at­ tributed this to fears of "copycat" contaminations, in the wake of the seven northwest suburban deaths caused by cyanide-laced Tylenol. In McHenry, Chief Pasenelli said the Halloween night passed quietly, with only one or two incidents of egg- throwing. Nothing more serious was reported to the Police department. Likewise in the county, ^most mu> -npalities reported little or no extras. Unary Halloween activity. Curfews or special limitations on trick-or-treating activities were imposed in at least 38 Chicago-area suburbs. Many families responded to the candy threat by handing out money instead of food. Others, took advantage of proams offered by park departments, and in some cases, police departments. In McHenry, Park Director Peter Merkel said the annual Halloween party at Parkland school yielded a record turn-out. Merkel said nearly 400 children attended the program. He added that if the program were to continue, the city would need help from service organizations or volunteer groups to run the event. - MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pogoJI) that Social Security won't go broke - and a hundred other things that have been on his mind for a long time. All of this, he asks with a solemn demeanor, at the same time demanding that taxes will never be raised in the official's term of office, and "all those unnec&sary ex­ penditures will be done away witli". Of course, he is quick to remind Chat his personal support was primarily responsible for the successful can­ didate's election. On the plus side, there will be no more kissing babies. And there will be no further need to eat food cooled by long waits after arriving on the table from heating ovens in sundry school cafeterias and lodge kitchens. But there will be other miseries in store. Telephones will ring late at night, or early in the morning. Lob­ byists will appear in huge numbers to stump for what they know is best for the populace - or at least for them­ selves. And woe to the office holder who loses his calm? and shows contempt in a hasty retort. His name will be placed in capital letters in the little back books of all who hear with the notation, "Get him the next time he runs". , Remember the "brainless broads" retort attributed to our own representative some years ago? He weathered the storm to be returned to the state House in spite of his flippant assessment of women who triggered his patience. But success was not his before he had experienced a word barrage in retalation. And so, dear election victors, take our advice and reconsider your choice before you are sworn into office. There is still an opportunity to make application to the institution of higher clowning,- otherwise known as Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey circus. The invitation reads, "No makeup, costumes or props are required for the auditions - just exuberance and the desire to join the elite group of fun­ sters who inhabit the Circus' Clown Alley". Maybe you were that one-in-a- milion politician who, in your infinite wisdom, uttered these words: ..."And if elected I promise you will never hear from me again". Even if you were not, the smartest thing you'll ever do may be to consider trading in your winner's button for a thousand laughs under the big top. The voters you will disappoint have memories longer than all the elephants in all the circuses in the world! KAF INVESTIGATE TWO BLAZES (Continued from pogo 1) "There is the possibility that this was a new fire, " Peterson said. He added that flammable materials were found in the building. Six hours after the second call, at 12:49 p.m. Oct. 31, Co. I firemen responded to a report of a structure fire at 1714 Cassandra, McHenry. Chief Peterson said it appeared a chimney from a free-standing fireplace at the residence had caught on fire, but no damage was done. The Johnsburg Rescue squad responded to the scene with the McHenry Fire department. On Monday, Nov. 1, at 2:04 p.m., Co. I fire fighters and the McHenry Area Rescue squad were called to a reported structure fire at 3323 Bull Valley road, McHenry. The fire was confined to the lint trap of a dryer at the residence. Tell me about your high gas heating bills Fire Safety Tips Smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths in the home, the National Safety council says. People often forget about cigarettes, or fall asleep in bed while smoking. Last year more than 4,900 persons died in fires, according to the council. About 80 oercent of the victims were killed in the "safety" of their own homes, The Council encourages families to have primary and alternate escape routes from each room in their house, and above all, try not to panic during a fire. Take a few seconds to compose yourself and plan your exit. Not all species of fireflies produce light. Among those that do, each has its own characteristic flashing pattern. "It is always with the best intentions that the worst work is done." Oscar Wilde SPLIT CITY VOTE ON ARCADE LICENSE (ConNnuod from pogo 1) that runs under Boone creeK, on a diagonal from Riverside drive toward the sewage treatment plant. Halvensleben noted that the pipe had been buried for 16 years and was probably in good repair. But, he commented that it should be cleaned and televised to determine the con­ dition of the joints. The council took no action. In response to a question from Aid. Ronald Meurer (4th ward), Chief Pasenelli said callers regarding the upcoming magic show were calling residents on behalf of the McHenry Police Officers association, and not the city or the police department. Pasenelli said proceeds from the show would be used to support the Youth Bowling league and other activities of the association. The chief emphasized that the association was not affiliated with any police unions or statewide organizations. Aid. Wieser said a number of constituents had raised questions about the city's paving of First avenue, which lies outside the city limits. He requested a true accounting of the cost of the project, including man hours, etc. Wieser noted that residents of Feger's subdivision, as the area is known, had balked at annexing to the City of McHenry. A report on the matter will be made in the near future. The council asked Park Director Peter Merkel to look into setting up oped swim times at the high school pool. Aid. Cecilia Serritella (4th ward) said residents had complained that there were no open swims scheduled at the pool. The council authorized payment of $79,795.38 for construction costs related to the Meadow lane road improvement project and $9,120 payment on the 1956 Waterworks and Sewerage bond issue. A unanimous vote authorized the expenditure of $450 to purchase Christmas decorations, depending on their condition, from the City of Elgin. The City of Elgin has about 90 pieces for sale, Aid. Meurer reported. Aid. Meurer said some of McHenry's decorations are beyond repair and would cost between $125 and $275 to replace. The council unanimously concurred with a Zoning Board of Appeals recommendation to approve the reclassification of 5016 W. Elm street, from R-3a residential to B-l business. Holiday Mailing Dates Announced For those with relatives in the ar­ med services stationed overseas, or . who wish to mail holiday greetings and packages to others living in foreign countries, now is the time to be making holiday failings, ac­ cording to the U.S. Postal Service. Parcels sent to military personnel in Africa, Australia, Central and South America and Southeast Asia have to be mailed by Nov. 8 if shipped by Space Available Mail (SAM), the least expensive means to ship parcels by air. , November is also the month when parcels shipped via Parcel Airlift Mail (PAL) should be sent. Mailers who choose this service for personal military parcels pay the surface rate plus a surcharge. Packages are airlifted domestically to a gateway facility then airlifted on a space available basis from the gateway to the APO (Army or Air Force Post office). McHenry Citizen Survey Continues The Citizen survey sponsored by the McHenry Area Economic Develop­ ment committee will continue to be taken until all interviews are com­ pleted. It is essential that the total sampling be completed to assure that the survey results are accurately representative. McHenry residents who have been selected few input will continue to be contacted by volunteers from the McHenry Jaycees and the Illinois Bell Pioneers. The purpose of the survey is to assess the citizens' evaluation of their own community and their wishes for the future. This broad community effort is being further assisted by McHenry County college, whose tabulation in the computer department will give results.
