WORK TOWARD (Continued from pog* 1) that the curriculum process is a "looped" one whereby staff and board members may act and react until a satisfactory decision is reached. He said the board has not had a Personnel comfnittee and-it was decided after executive session to combine these two functions. In other business, Swartzloff reported the high schools had received accreditation by the North Central association "with no deficiencies cited." The board approved four contracts totalling $10,597.26 for custodial supplies for 1983-84. In all but six of the 110 bids, contracts were awarded to low bidders. The six rejected bids did not meet specified needs, according to Business Manager Michael Kelly. Approvals were given for the following: -A Chapter I Remedial Reading program proposal was approved. -A trip for East campus school store student workers to Governor Dodge State park in Dodgeville. --An expenditure of $305 for Vocational-Industrial Clubs of America student James Derfus to compete in the national VICA Skill Olympics and training session in Louisville, Ky. An advisor will ac­ company him. Separations were accepted for Mary C. Pierce, Transportation secretary; Kathleen Nusbaum, Central office accounts payable employee; and Anthony Demitropoulos, West campus custodian. ACCIDENT PREVENTION (Continued from pog* 1). eligibility may apply if the driver has one year without an accident or violation); --any driver whose driving privileges have been suspended or revoked within the previous three years; --and any driver subject to a group policy where the premiums have been averaged. Sgt. Corson said, "We (county police) went to this for the senior citizens. We have a number of programs for younger people, in the schools, and so on." He added that the response in McHenry county has been pretty good, with about 150 drivers taking part since it was instituted. Corson said the department will put on the program in just about any part of the county, whenever enough area people have registered. Persons wishing to register for the defensive driving course may do so by calling Judy Hutson, and the Crystal Lake Senior Citizens office, (800) 892- 3273. The course is held on two days for four hours. There is a nominal charge.

Last year alone the various health fair programs provided free check­ ups for an estimated 800,000 people. The dollar value of the screening tests provided in minority communities was estimated at $100 million alone. The actual dollar cost - all of it raised privately - was just a fraction of that. It was the .idea that people, and not just the government, cared that made the giving so very special. Graduates can take heart by knowing that 1982 was a record year for U.S. charities, despite the recession. Contributions exceeded $59.9 billion, up 11.8 percent from the year before. Tax breaks for the donor? Maybe. But there are still thousands of people who give because they see a need. Otherwise how can one explain the anonymous benefactor in Indianapolis who put $7,000 in Salvation Army kettles during the last Christmas season. This is the first rate pa-' ^ the world into which gradvatt. are stepping. If they understand that, and pledge some day to becorhe a part of that segment of society, they have learned much about a good life.. And it will give them a justified optimism. It was Francis Bacon who wisely said, "In Charity there is no excess" - especially true when it is given from the heart. KAF QUOTES LAW TO FIGHT TICKET (Continued from page 1) was issued, the existing standard for the dollar was 12.632 grains of gold 90 percent fine. However, Mish is not allowed to use gold as money because of a 1933 prohibition enacted by the U.S. Congress. He claims as support Act 191 of the Illinois Revised Statutes, which says 'the revenue for State purposes shall concerning the collection of a fine. It is not a tax or any other payment. He "the revenue for State purposes shall /.» noi a tax or any ouier be collected in gold and silver coin, Is saying that i>ecause he can t pay in United States legal tender notes, gold, , he shouldn't have to buy a i iA i t « 4 _• .« " Hfnc Mnnictc current natibnal bank notes and Auditor's warrants...." Mish alleges that the four forms of currency named in the Act are no longer circulating because each was "redeemable in 'lawful money,' which has been construed to mean gold and silver money." The crux of the claim, according to Mish, is that the demise of the stan­ dard unit of value of the U.S. dollar does not relieve the State of Illinois from accepting anything but legal registration sticker," Mrs. Narusis said. Judge Floeter considered the motion and then denied it. He set the matter for trial on June 20 in Wood­ stock. , SCHOOLS HOLD GRADUATION « (Continued from page 1) public relations director, will be money, i.e. gold and silver coin, as keynote speaker for Marian Central • * • • Catholic high school s annual Honors day assembly.

Mish contends that iay^ rties may use paper money as a medium of exchange, but the state cannot compel a citizen to use anything but gold and silver coin. Mish also said he is unaware of any statute which construes Federal Reserve Notes, checks or money orders to be the money of account of the United States. As an act of good faith, Mish sent his license renewal application with a certified check to be payable when an official determination of the sub­ stance of money is made. In court Wednesday, Mish said, "The laws are clear on the kinds of money used for payment...There is no provision in which I can tender Federal Reserve Notes in payment for a vehicle registration sticker." City Attorney Regina Narusis pointed out that the law was equally as explicit concerning the charge- there was no sticker on the vehicle as is required. The question before the court was the payment of a fine, not his ability to purchase the registration sticker. "This is a city and state charge MY DAD'S THE GREATEST .

Since grass comes out of its winter dormancy with a hearty appetite, the earlier you feed your >lawn the better -- especially if you want that first burst of green to last. An early feeding of nitrogen controlled- release fertilizer will: 1) Provide good color and density by encouraging new growth to replace the older, deteriorating parts of' individual plants; 2)' Encourage rhizome development, the underground stems that spread out and send up new grass plants, thereby knitting a thicker, sturdier turf; 3) Discourage new weeds from sprouting by providing a thick carpet of grass to compete with them; 4) Encourage new root growth, which enables grass plants to take maximum ad­ vantage of avilable water and nutrients. Before you fertilize your grass this spring, you should clean up your lawn and mow off old dead grass. This will let more sunshine reach each plant's crown, triggering earlier green up. Matted tree leaves and other debris such as stones and twigs will hinder early lawn development because t h e y s m o t h e r awakening grass. ' And if you've had a crabgrass problem in the past, spring is the ideal time to apply a combination fertilizer- crabgrass preventer. After clean-up, fer­ tilization of the average 5,000-square-foot lawn should take about 30 minutes. If you follow the year-round program recommended and fertilize again in late spring, late summer and fall, your total time invested to achieve a better lawn will only amount to two hours.

Found at hardware and paint stores. ' Village President Duane Zeman told trustees Tuesday night that a repair progr am for all village roads may begin as early as next month. Allan Zeman, village superin­ tendent of public works, said it will cost about $40,000 to $45,000 to grade, pave and seal coat the 6.3 miles of village roads. One bid was received, others are forthcoming. Mrs. Zeman told the board she has begun preliminary discussions with Wonder Lake State bank to receive a $40,000 loan to pay for the work. She said the terms call for the loan to be paid back over a five-year period at an annual interest rate of 9.5 percent. It would cost the village $840 per month, she said. Athough nothing is final, trustees were excited at the prospect of repairing the roads. "I think this is a good, good program," Trustee Jack Crawford said. A motion to pursue funding passed unanimously. "We have to get an absolute com­ mitment on funds first before we sign a contract," Mrs. Zeman said. "I don't think you'll ever get another opportunity to do it at this price." Trustee Richard Matthei, a member of the road committee under the James Rachel administration, likewise urged the board to move quipkly. "We spend ($40,000) in legal fees," he said. Village Treasurer Sue Sturwold said in the fiscal year ending April 30, the village spent $2,784 patching roads. Sipce January about $590 has been spent on gravel alone, compared to $361 spent during all of last year. Ms. Sturwold said the roads are deteriorating and a comprehensive road repair program would save money in the long run. "You just can't keep patching and patching," Mrs. Zeman said. Allan Zeman blamed failure of a road repair program in the past on politics and a reluctance by former trustees to see£ outside funding. "I (now) feel financial priorities are where they should be," Zeman said. Expenses are being re-evaluated by the finance committee. Finance chairman Brian McLaughlin said the tentative 1983-84 budget includes a 40 percent reduction in Police Department expenses at a savings of about $8,000. Not including the new road program, the ublic woorks budget has been sliced by $3,000--11 percent less than last fiscal , year. There are other examples of other fiscal belt:tightening: --The • village attorney was noticeably absent Tuesday night. --Police patrolling has become more cost effective. Mrs. Zeman said recprds show patrolman Tom Dvorak traveled 458 miles in 80 hours on $50 worth of gas. The squad car is un­ dergoing daily inspection and operating well. --The board voted to return a $500 police radio package purchased last year. It has malfunctioned, and is deemed unnecessary since the village's old radio is functioning well. "We are going places," Allan Zeman said, and the loan is just part of that attitude. "We have our chance and as far as I'm concerned we're going to do it."
