Page Bond Sale Time Is Decided Arlington Heights Park Board members decided Tuesday night that now is the time to sell $15 million in park development bonds. The bonds are the second port of the million park development referendum approved by voters last summer. Park Atty.

Charles Bobinette was authorized to advertise for bids on the bonds. He will also issue a brochure to be mailed to about 200 financial institutions who might be interested in buying the bonds. Bobinette was more optimistic about finding a bond buyer than the board members The members had checked with persons they knew and generally got pessimistic responses. SOURCES HAD TOLD Bobinette that the board should advertise for bids and it would probably get some response. The bids wiU be opened between July 31 and Aug 12, depending on how soon Bobinette can get the notices of the sale published According to law, the notices must be published ten days before the bids are opened.

Board members agreed to call a special meeting July 31 if the attorney could arrange to have the bids ready by that time. In other action, board members approved a use agreement with the First Methodist Church of Arlington Heights. The church offered free use of undeveloped land south of the church at 1903 E.

Mark Allen Johnson, son of Dr. and Mrs. L. A Johnson of 1728 Wilshire, Arlington Heights, apparently drowned despite efforts by a 10-year-old boy and the rescuer's father to revive him. Johnson, who was playing with several friends around the ditch, fell into the water as he approached the edge of the bank in an attempt to see how deep the water was, police said.

One of his playmates dived into the water in an attempt to save the youngster. The boy said he held Johnson out of the water for a minute but lost his footing and released Johnson. The boy swam out of the ditch and ran home to tell his parents. His mother called the police while the father went back to the scene and tried to locate the youth Officers Preston Haig and Bud Bischoffer both dove into the water when they reached the scene and pulled the body out. They said they found the boy on a small ledge approximately 10 feet under the water.

Police said the boy was in the water about 15 minutes before the body was retrieved. Police and firemen were unable to revive the boy and he was pronounced dead by Dr Edward Paulissian, a physician at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights. The man-made ditch is located on Thomas, east of Rand Road and is about 450 feet long running between Hersey High School and the Candlewood Trace apartment complex The body was taken to Haire Funeral Home in Arlington Heights. The construction site was unfenced. Police Capt.

Jack Aldrich said that from all indications, the apparent drowning was accidental. Tuesday night right around the house and through the bushes and trees with thousands of feet of pastel-colored toilet tissue owing gently in the breeze. But the decorating was all done in the spirit of good, clean fun A band of neighborhood students, who call themselves "The Mungers," combined a colorful imagination with a sense of humor and a little bit of the devil that dances in the young. THEY WRAPPED ROLLS of yellow, green, blue, and pink toilet tissue around the house and through the branches of the bushes and trees. "The Mungers" left the Griffens another surprise: a grave made of beer cans with an authentic granite headstone dating back to 1855.

But the Griffens had the last laugh and the final word. The students, friends of the Griffens and their high school daughters, meet at 101 S. I-Oka for a barbecue and clean-up party last night. "We know all the kids in the toilet-paper troop. As a matter of fact, they called us at 1:30 Wednesday morning to make sure we didn't miss the decorations," explained Mrs.

Griffen. "My husband and I had a good laugh out of the whole incident. We decided that as long as the house was decorated for a party we'd invite the kids back for hot dogs and hamburgers and the clean-up detail." THE GRIFFENS LIVE at the corner of I-Oka and Busse Road, which is well traveled by businessmen enroute to the train station in the morning. "So many people stopped to see the house that they created a traffic jam on Busse. Everybody chuckled at the sight of the toilet paper, and some people stopped to ask if we were having a wedding or a baby shower at the house.

"I guess some adults would be mad if a group of kids did the same to their homes, but we don't think that they did anything wrong. There wasn't any damage and no harm done. "TRUTHFULLY MY husband and I thought the house looked pretty good, as if we were celebrating May Day. The trees looked like maypoles and the colored toilet paper was blowing in the breeze. "These kids are just bored because the weather has been so bad It's been a dull summer, and I don't blame them for trying to create their own excitement I maybe the kids will leave for college a hope the weather gets warmer soon or little earlier this year." Euclid St.

The district would mainly hold the land as open space and plan to put about $4,000 of grading and seeding work into it. MONEY SPENT ON playground equipment and backstops for the site could salvaged by removing the equipment if the lease agreement were terminated. The agreement guarantees park district use of the land until November of 1971. It also contains an automatic annual renewal clause after the two years. The agreement may be cancelled by either board after the two years if six months notice is given before the cancellation takes effect.

The agreement is scheduled to be approved by the church's governing board on Sunday. Board members also decided to adjourn Tuesday's meeting until next Monday mght to discuss investment procedures. The treasurer's report showed excess funds available for investment, but he was not ready to make a recommendation on how much of the money would be needed to cover operating expenses. EDWARD URBANSKI, the newly hired treasurer for the park district, said be was unable to consider the matter in so short a time. Pres.

Charles Cronin polled the board members to find out if the board should take up the matter of investing the money ty holding another meeting next week or by waiting until their next regular meeting on July 28. Thomas McShane, Edward Condon and E. E. Ormsbee said they "didn't care BOARD member Roy Bressler said, "If we can pick up some extra money for the taxpayers, I'm willing to spent 45 minutes here." Johnston Wins Endorsement It's one for Alan Johnston and zero for 11 other Republican candidates seeking the 13th Congressional District seat. State Rep.

Johnston of Kenilworth in New Trier township received the first -and maybe most important township endorsement last night in Winnetka. The New Trier Township GOP gave Johnston the nod on the first ballot easily defeating his closest competitor, Duff, 111 to 34 Candidates needed 109 of 198 votes cast. State Rep. Eugene Schlickman of Arlington Heights, the only candidate from the western four township received no votes. Other totals were: Joseph Mathewsim, 19; Gerald Marks, 17; David Roe, Yale Roe, Samuel Young, Philip Crane, 3 John Nimrod, Alban Weber, Lar Daly, and Schlickman received no votes.

A New Trier endorsement was made early in the campaign in an attempt to thin out the pack. Candidates have until Friday to withdraw from the race and there was speculation that there may be some withdrawals following last night's endorsement. Six of the candidates are from New Trier Township and since only one could get the endorsement of his own township its unlikely that the others can count on endorsements from the district's seven other townships. .1 be I the Si irt I.
