Tollway Planned at Route 47
A large number of people from all of McHenry County and the surrounding counties atended a tollway meeting called for last Thurs¬ day. Oct. 26, at the VUIage Hall in Huntley. Many of the people present wore members of the McHenry County Board of Supervisors. Conduct- mg the meeting was Mr. Harley Mackeben, chairman of the Board; Wilpault Brill, mayor of Huntley; and Emest Bohn, Dorr township
supervisor, from Woodstock.
In 1959 tho Board of Supervis¬ ors asked for a tollway entrance on Route 47. At that tune the tollway commission stated that a survey of traffic would have to be made before an entrance could bo considered. Somehow this traf¬ fic surve>' was never made. Mr. Mackeben said that originally when the tollway was laid out, an cntranre was planned for Route 47. Ilowe\cr. duo to an error when the original plans were drawn up, Routo 47 did not get an entrance.
Mr. Mackeben went on to say tha' a tollwa^• entrance at Route 47 would be beneficial to the en- firt county. At the present, Mr. Mackeben said that it would be possible to get a tollway entrance on Route 47, but the people of this area must express a desire in or¬ der for this to come al)out. Mr. Mackeben also said that Huntley and the entire McHenry County area must be behind this program 1(X) per cent, and that it would be good if everyone signed the peti¬ tions. Volunteers from the audience offered to circulate the petitions, and in one week's time, get them filled out and turned back- to Mr. Mackel)en.
The petition reads as follows: "We. the undersigned, being resi¬ dents of tho County of McHenrj' and State  of Illinois, do petition
the ILLINOIS TOLLWAY COjk- MISSION to construct an en¬ trance to the NORTHWEST TOLL HIGHWAY at its intersection with Illinois State Route No. 47 for CONTINl'ED ON PAGE 6

The gate receipts for the three home football games totaled $663.- .5(X--average $221.17 per game. —Discounting expenses^officials, men workers, lights usage, etc.— the average net profit per game was a little over $150. Next year it is planned to have an eight game schedule, so we should have a "Pto receipt of around $750 to $1,000. This will speed up the pay¬ ing for the lights considerably. Then when they are paid for, the fn"tKaii receint<; together with the basketball receipts vidll easily pay for the entire sports program. As it is and has l)een for years, the basketball receipts pay for that particular sport. ITiis past year the receipts exceeded the expenses CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 FACTS A FIGURES      .    .

Letter To The

Dear Boxholder:
"Puhlic education is a communi¬ ty enterprise which should pro¬ vide educational services useful to the total community. However many of them in their adult years need further education to help meet the problems of everyday living. The education of adults is a natural extension of ;the public school program. Through adult education, the public school is ah- leeto provide fuller services to its total community." (H. I. Good. C^rmn. of the (Committee on Adult Ed.. Buffalo, N.Y.)
The Huntley Consolidated Schools Board of Education wants you to feel that the development of the Huntley Adult Education programs is, in a very real sense, constructed in regard to your in¬ terests and desies; and that by paticipation within your .school, we may all participate in furthering its growth and development.
