It was stated that by doing this at the end of the football season only one watering would carry the sod through the winter. Some dis¬ cussion was held on ways of keep¬ ing the sod in good ooadition. It was suggested that perhaps a >snow fepce^^be. placed around the field tlpt^fM^as not In use. An appriiililiili) Wt of $1800. was cited mu'tlw tout area to be coTered.

It was mentioned that the school did not have control when youngsters did not live at home, that there was no one to go to when students did not attend classes, especially if they were over age 16 when truancy was not involved. The vote was all ayes. A committee was established composed of Zimmerman, Schultz, Mackeben, and Adams to compile a l>oofclet of school policies which have been developed over the years by the Board of Education. Trustee Miss Mackeben had started work¬ ing on this and had searched rec¬ ords back into 1947 to find some of the material. The pamphlet will be mimeographed and distributed to the board members and adminis¬ tration.
A list of suggestions by the teachers was briefly discussed. This is being studied by the board  members.
It was reported by Supt Kelly that Dave Trumbo would take over coaching the Fresh-Soph basket¬ ball team. Last year he coached the 6th-6th grade team. Mr. Ed. Ream will again coach the 7th-8th grade basketball team. Mr. Larry Schwab will coach the 6th-6th grade team this year. It waa stated that if a full time coach is hired next year, the men will be retum¬ ed to their previous coaching as¬ signments.
It was reported that |4884.00 had been cut from the cost of the new school building by removing several optionals, among them a covered walk and agate facing on the building. The Board of Educa¬ tion did not realize that they had eliminated the agate facing and now wished to have it replaced on the front of the outer wall of the multi-purpose room. The cost of this  will  be  $2563.00.   The  stone

The most serious incident oc¬ curred in a parked car on the Northwest Tollway near Rt. 47 A man and woman, both from Chica¬ go, are in Sherman Hospital as a result.
They are Bertha Kelly Donegan, 39, of 1622 W. Jackson Blvd. and James Kennedy, 32, of 1640 S. Karlov Ave. Hospital authorities reported the woman suffered mul- tipul cuts of the left arm and left chest but is in good condition to¬ day in Sherman Hospital.

Tollway troopers said Kennedy first indicated he and his compan¬ ion had hetn wounded byanbthier man. Troopers, assisted by police dogs, hunted unsuccessfully for the suspect for several hours.
Huntley Police Chief John Roth assisted in the search for the alleg¬ ed third party, combing the corn fields south of Huntley near the ¦ tollway.

to gain possesdtfh if «a knife. Troopers and hospital authorities reported both the man and woman gave several names and addresses. Tollway troopers today confer¬ red with State's Atty. William R. Ketcham relative to filing charges against Kennedy. He will be taken into custody when he is diaaalssed from the hospital, authoritiea said.
Resigns Enmasse
The Huntley Planning Commis¬ sion felt that it was necessary for them tp resign en masse as the Commission had been started ap¬ proximately five years ago with no results to be shown for their efforts.
The Commission completed their portion of their work through the aid of William S Lawrence and Associates over a year ago and presented their findings and corrected ordinances to the Village Attorney so that he could prepare the necessary legal work to make it an official ordinance. As the Commission could not function properly without the cooperation from the Village Attorney, it was felt that they could no longer serve a useful purpose to the Vil-, lage of Huntley and the following letter was mailed to the Village Mayor.

The McHenry County Firemen held their monthly meeting in Huntley on Monday evening, Oct. 17. This meeting revolves from town to town and is held in Hunt¬ ley approximately every two years
At this meeting the firemen were taken on a tour of Union Special Machine Co. and shown the modem fire devicecs used by the company and the fire prevention meUiods employed. Following this the mem¬ bers of the organization retumed to the Huntley Fire Station and heard a talk by a member of the State Fire Protection Association.
His talk was on insurance and the speaker stated that fire districts throughout the area should check their insurance to see if they are covered when crossing to give futual aid to another district. He went on to say that many times fire insurance ends when equip¬ ment crosses a state line and that if the policy states "only in force in the district", the fire depart¬ ment should ask their agent to place a rider on the policy enabl¬ ing them to give assistance to a neighboring fire district. Mr. J. R. Haugen spoke for the
Union Special Machine Co., giving a short talk on the hist<H7 of sev^ ing, telling how the need for sew¬ ing created the first primitive sewing machines. He said that un¬ like the domestic sewing machine the industrial sewing machine is desigrned for only one purpose and therefore, Union Special makes thousands of different machines and that today machines have many devices which may be added for   zig-zag,   buttonholing,  etc.
Following the meeting  refresh¬ ments were served.
