Apportionment Claims Also at last night's meeting, the board received $67,000 in "apportionment claims" from the State of Illinois. The money represents the $15.50 per student semester hour which Lewis and Clark is entitled to receive from the state. The semester hour total was calculated on the basis of enrollments at the middle of the first semester. The board also decided not to process "chargeback" requests for the fall 1971 semester until next summer. Chargebacks are the money Lewis and Clark pays to students who must go to other junior colleges because the courses they want aren't offered heie Lewis and Clark officials say they won't really know what courses they'll offer next fall until next summer.

So they're going to hold chargeback requests until then Fitzgibbon is expected to announce more vocational courses --pel haps some day courses-before the start of the second semester after the first of the year. So far most of the new vocational courses announced last night are evening courses, intended for adult, continuing education. They are in seven categories: Agriculture--Farm Business Management, Farm Operations and Management for the Part- Time Farmer, Introduction to the Economics of Farm Equipment. Business--Business Law, Fundamentals of Investments, Personal Income Taxes, Principles of Micro-Economics, Rates and Tariffs, Records Management. Fire Science--Fire Inspection Practices.

Law Enforcement Crime Prevention and Patrol Techniques (a basic course); Advanced courses--Criminal Law Criminalistics, Law Enforcement and community Relations. Marketing--Introduction to Marketing, Principles of Retailing, Salesmanship. Nursing--Renewal Course in Nursing (a day course for registered nurses). Water Technology Water Plant Operation. Fitzgibbon said he is currently conducting a survey among high school students to determine what kinds of vocational courses they want.

Glas- Revamped City Liquor Code Gets Reading By Emma Almond Intelligencer Correspondent Highland The Highland City Council In a meeting Monday night, gave first reading to a new liquor ordinance as part of an eilorl by the council to review and update the ciity's legal code. The new ordinance is basically a combination of two old ordinances, witlh minor re-wording to streamline and clarify the code. The city is still limited to 20 Class A licenses and three Class B.

This is based on a population for Highland of 5,637 at the time tibe limits were set. An increase of 500 in the population is required to change the limits. Closing time for taverns remains midnight on every night except Saturday, when it is 1 a m. Sunday morning. Drinks may not be sold after these times, but a one-hour period is allowed for customers to leave the buildings.

The council also approved payment on two estimates for work on the new city electric plant addition. Ralph Korte, a HigMand Contractor, received $39,288 for construction work on the building. This was the second payment to Korte. The first payment, to the Nordberg Electric suppliers of the generating equipment for the $1.5 addition, was $81,972. Councilman Homer Poss questioned a normally routine item, calling aittenton to a notification on the marshal's report of a case which had been dismissed without the city police being notified.

Highland police had instituted the action in the case. Poss objected to state's attorney's office failing to notify the police. Oity Manager Enos Pureell informed the council that a vertical lift pump, for which he had previously requested permission to advertise for bids, had proved on further investigation to be He asked for permission to advertise for bids on a horizontal pump for the water plant. The price, he said, would be comparable, and the horizontal pump would require less maintenance while providing a 400- gallon per minute capacity. He also asked permission to advertise for bids on eight-inch pipe for the city sewer system.

Bids will be opened Dec. 28. Councilman Bill Stieb requested information on the results of an engineering investigation into Dhe needs of the sewage treatment plant. He suggested that the city hurry the investigation along in order to benefit from the recently passed state anti pollution bond issue. Pureell said no concrete recommendations have been made by the ciity engineers so far.

Voter Turnout Light Here Insurance for Library Discussed By Norma Skamenca Of the Intelligencer The Edwardvillc Public Library Board of Trustees continued with a discussion of insurance for the library at a meeting Monday night. Action was deferred until further infoima- tion can be obtained Insurance for the entire library--plant, furnishings, and personal for both staff and public while in the library or on library business--was discussed. The existing policy is a three- way coverage plan provided by one agent. Discusbion on one policy covering all aspects is under consideration. Librarian Ronald McGriff said he has had discussions with several agents.

Following receipt of estimates on coverage, he will meet with the building committee to decide on the matter, he said. In the event that no decision can be made in the smaller group, a special meeting of the full board will be called. Current coverage is in effect until Jan. 13. Most insurance now carries a $100 deductible clause, in which the insured pays the first $100 incuired through loss.

A standard library policy provided by a major company could carry as high as a $250 deductible, McGriff said he was told by an area agent. Considering the kinds of losses incurred by libraries, deductibles such as that, while lowering the annual premium, could result in numerous small losses being paid out of library funds, it was noted. A loss the past year through theft of a typewriter valued at more than $250 was covered by insurance, but would not have been had such a policy been in force. Current coverage covers separately the boiler for the heating plant, fire protection and extended coverage. The board indicated interest in providing talking books for the blind if a federal program provided for by tax funds is turned over to local libraries.

Only in the discussion stage, the proposal was outlined in a Fire in Home Extinguished The Edwardsville Fire Department extinguished a fire at the home of Luther Pike 906 Longfellow Ave at 1:28 a.m today. The fire, in the living room of the home, was apparently started by a candle, according to the Fire Department. No damage estimate was available. The firemen also extinguished two weed fires Monday, one at 501 Warren St. at 10:35 a.m.

and one at 321 Fourth St. at 1:03 p.m. Both started from burning trash, said the fire department. meeting of Iho advisory council of the Lewis and Clark library which McGriff attended last month. The Library of Congress and major libraries have been supplying the talking books and machines free of charge to the blind and handicapped.

If a changeover in dispensing the books and machines came, they would be handled by Lewis and Clark for this area. McGriff said on request Lewis and Clark, he had made a preliminary survey locally to determine how many such persons could be benefited by handling at the local level. He said 60 to 90 persons may want to use the service. The board approved sending a formal letter to Lewis and Clark library indicating the library here would use the service if offered. It was pointed out that it would use up very little staff time because handicapped persons using the service may keep the records and machines as long as they need them.

A motion to close the library the day before and the day after Christmas was approved. In other yeais the library has been closed the day befora Christmas. This year, since Christmas is on Friday, it was agreed to close also on Saturday, providing a four-day holiday for staff. Use of the library at the height of the holiday season is generally at an ebb, members agieed. Hills the amount of 648.0C foi the month of November were appioved by the board, the largest amount for book purchases Repairs and maintenance total $468.11.

The amount included $250.37 for replacement of a door forced in a break-in earlier this year. Total book circulation last month, according to the librarian's report, was 6,520, including 2,191 checkouts in the junior department. The largest daily circulation was 489; the average daily, 266. Since Oct. 1, McGriff said, 1,000 fiction books had been evaluated and withdrawn.

Reordering of 100 titles was done on books of continuing popularity, he said. In addition, repair of old title books was going ahead with one employe devoting an afternoon a week to the project. President John Hoffman and members Tanya Keefe, Grace Cunningham, C. C. Jones and Olive Potter were present.

School Bond Issue Vote Rescheduled (Continued from Page 1) the cost of making it usable might be prohibitive. If the other member districts act in favor of taking title to te land, the board will call a special meeting. Student Dress The board also postponed action on guidelines for student dress for elementary students, presented by six principals. Ed Knies, principal at N. 0.

Nelson School indicated that the six principals who set up the guidelines were not in total agreement. He said they wanted the board to review the situation and establish a policy on dress which would be applicable to the district. He said that the guidelines proposed are basically those by which the schools now operate but that "many parents are questioning our authority" to impose them. The board directed the district administrators to study the matter and to set up a satisfactory policy. Rogier cautioned that dress codes may have no a strenth unless they are related to safety of the students.

Contract Awarded The board also awarded a contract to the Leitner Building Service Co. of Edwardsville to furnish and install acoustical celling at the LeClaire School gym. The Leitner bid of $1,981 was the lowest of four received for the job. The board adopted a policy which states that "items acquired by clubs or organizations operating within the schools shall become the property of the school district. the club or organization having use and control of the items) subject to the direction of the principal of the school." This action was taken as a result of a dispute at the high school between two clubs, one of which was loaned equipment "belonging" to the other one.

The board also authorized the formation of an applied problem-solving class, heard reports on grouping in the district and on the teaching of drug and drug abuse subjects in the district, and authorized the administration to apply for funds to help pay for audio visual equipment. Pilot programs for programs designed to help children to learn reading and mathematics were authorized by the board, and $2,552 was provided for the programs. The board also accepted the resignation of Rogier, who has taken a position at a Florida university and will be leaving the area soon. Heepke has said that the board has a month in which to appoint a new member. After that, a election may be called by the county superintendent of schools.

Local Man Hurt in Wreck Richard P. Kurmann, 27, 633 Frederick Ave, was injured at 8 p.m. Monday when his car went out of control on Interstate 70 in Canteen Township near East St. Louis, According to State Police, Kurmann was eastbound on Interstate 70 when his car struck a center divider, struck a van driven by Richard P.

Louis, went out of control, crossed the center median and the westbound lanes and struck a concrete rail. Kurmann was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in East St. Louis, where he received emergency treatment and was transferred to Missouri Pacific Hospital in St. Louis.

He was reported in satisctory condition today. Hale escaped injury. Election judges at several precincts throughout Madison County reported a light voter turnout for today's election on the proposed 1970 Illinois Constitution. The light vote coincided with experts' predictions. Judges reports in the precincts sampled ranged from only six voters at one Granite City precinct, to 125 voters in the large Edwardsville precinct 6, which has more than 1,000 registered voters.

Although voting was light all over, a few judges said today's turnout was not below the average for special elections at this time of year. Some proponents of the constitution had expressed a fear that a light voter turnout, because of the holiday season, would defeat the proposed document. Sheriff's deputies in Madison County received a tip this morning that burglars were in the process of stealing flags from the Baptist Church at Peter's Station. Three patrol cars converged on the church, but deputies learned that the "burglars" were only opening the building as a polling place for the election.

Saturday in the Edwardsville Public Library. Activities will include a play by children in the first grade at LeClaire School, directed by Mrs. Connie Pival, and a Christmas film. Mrs. Mary Lou Sickbert will tell several stories.
