THE HERALD Wednesday, August 4, 1971 Section I --3 Bin At Community Park Permanent Depot For Recycling Set Palatine residents no longer have to cart their old papers to other towns for recycling. Now they only have to go as far as Community Park. A permanent paper recycling depot was finally set up after a year's effort by PEP (Pollution and Environmental Problems) opposite the administration building in the parking lot of Community Park. Palatine Road just west of Northwest Hwy. The bin will be a paper depository for Garbage Bags In Short Supply There's a shortage of plastic garbage bags in Palatine, but it shouldn't last longer than a day or two.

The Palatine Chamber of Commerce and the village health department received a number of calls Tuesday from residents woo were unable to purchase bags at all of the usual 12 locations throughout town. Although several stores have run out of their bag supply, several places still have them available and residents should call the chamber office to find out where bags can be purchased. According to Marian Bauer, secretary of the chamber, a shipment on an order for more bags should be received by the chamber today or tomorrow to replenish the supply at all 12 locations in the village. Southern Horsemen File Suit Three New Orleans horse owners who lost prized thoroughbreds in the June 3 fire at Arlington Park Race Track filed suit Monday in federal court seeking reparations for damages estimated at $280.500. Owners Eugene H.

Rutter, James H. Rutter and Jack Weiss filled suit in the Chicago division of the U.S. Circuit Court. Between them, they lost six horses in the blaze, including Norman, a show horse valued at about $75.000. Their suit charges negligence in the barn area and the lack of a fire alarm system in Barn 5-A, where their horses were corralled.

IN ADDITION, the Louisiana businessmen are seeking $280,500 from each of three defendants named in the suit, a federal court spokesman said. The defendants are the Arlington Park Jockey Club, a division of Chicago Thoroughbred Enterprises (CTE), operator of Arlington Park; Robert Cramer, a horse trainer in Barn 5-A; and Gilberto Morales, a stable hand employed by Cramer. Morales was questioned about the fire, according to Arlington Heights Police Capt. Maury English, who said Morales was reportedly seen smoking in the stable area minutes before security guards spotted the flames. He said the fire was caused by negligence, but Morales was never charged with any crime.

Morales was seen with another stable hand who had been (ired by Cramer hours before the blaze broke out. THE FEDERAL COURT spokesman said all three defendants were issued summons late yesterday. In addition to Norman, other horses lost in the blaze were Sheriff II, Mayor York, Lifetime, Penny Packer and Trade Mark. A spokesman for the Chicago division of the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA) said some of the horses were insured by Lloyd's of London. He said he believed one of the horses was Insured for $40,000.

They were among 33 horses killed by the fire, which destroyed Barn 5-A and caused an estimated $500,000 in damage. Pension Fund For Firemen Founded A pension fund for full-time firemen with the Palatine Fire District was recently established by the village board. The two full-time firemen in Palatine will put aside five per cent of their biweekly paychecks for the pension fund beginning Aug. 1. The language defining the fund is similar to that of the police pension fund, which allots some $10,000 per man for benefits.

A board of of the Firemen's Pension Fund was also established to handle the fund's administration. Members of the board include the village mayor, village clerk, village attorney, fire chief, three representatives of the fin department and one retired fireman. a Trees, Enviroment, People), a reclamation project designed to save trees and help Chicago ghetto residents. The project was organized by North and Northwest suburban communities with Wilmette as the pilot suburb. To date, 20 sites have been offered as collection points for weekly newspaper dropoffs.

The papers will be collected regularly by the West Side Paper Stock a firm financed by the First National Bank of Chicago through a $250,000 loan guaranteed by Container Corp. of America. Representatives of PEP will contact the west side firm when the bin is full so it can be emptied. Once collected, the paper will be sorted, compressed and baled for recycling and reuse as newsprint and then will be bought by Container Corp. for reprocessing.

All profits from the paper stock corporation are directed to the West Side Community Development a non-profit, self-help organization owned by five other black organizations. The money is used to finance black-owned businesses and community services such as health care centers and legal aid. Clayton Brown, president of PEP, recently appeared before the Palatine Park District Board and received permission for the paper bin to be placed at the park. Brown estimated that residents in Palatine Township dispose of more than 84 tons of newsprint each week, which is the equivalent of 1,088 trees. Residents are asked to either tie their papers into bundles or place them in bags before depositing them at the bin.

Papers should be placed as far back in the bin as possible. Authorize Cost Estimates For Storm Sewer City Engineer James Muldowney has been authorized to seek cost estimates on the construction of two retention basins, and storm sewer to help alleviate flooding in western sections of the city. The street, alley and utilities committee also directed Muldowney to con-' tinue seeking formal approval from the State of Illinois for the construction of the basins. Despite the fact the basins and storm sewer will be funded and maintained by the city, state approval is necessary because the basins are proposed for both sides of Rte. 53 near Kirchoff Rd.

on approximately 15 acres of state right of way. The two large holes, designed to hold water until the sewer capacity can allow proper drainage, and storm sewer would help prevent runoff from reaching the low lands in the yards of homeowners in the East Frontage-Holly Lane area. To date Rolling Meadows officials have received indications the state will approve the project and formal approval is expected within the next two months. City officials hope to get construction started this fall. YOUNG CHESS CHAMP Kurt Schulti of Arlington Heights, challenged and defeated a $2.5 million puter Monday in the second annual computer chess tournament in Chicago.

Kurt, who has been playing the com- game a little more than a year, attributed part of his success to some unexpected opening moves. Champ Short-Circuits Computer It was boy versus machine Monday at the second annual computer chess tournament in Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel. And 12-year-old Kurt Schultz, 1428 Yale Arlington Heights, came out on top. Kurt was declared the winner over the $2.5 million Northwestern University computer after 41 moves. International Chess Master David Levy from the University of Glasgow judged the young champ to be in better position and have more men than his programmed opponent.

The match was sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery. A carrier for the Arlington Heights Herald, Kurt uses the money he earns delivering papers to cover entry fees at various chess tournaments in the area, according to his mother, Mrs. Dudley Schultz. Link Kidnap Suspect To 2nd Incident The kidnapper of Katherine Kuhn, 12, of Harrington may be the same man who kidnapped a North Harrington girl a short time ago, according to Harrington Police Lt, Ronald Hemmingson. Hemmingson said descriptions of the kidnapper and the experiences of both girls were very similar.

He said the North Harrington girl, whose name he could not release, is 9 years old, and was driven away in a light-colored four-door sedan by her armed abductor. The abductor was then described as being heavy set, with graying hair. Katherine's sister, Suzanne, 10, who was with Katherine Sunday afternoon when she was kidnapped, told police the abductor drove away in a 1966 blue- green, four-door Rambler. The abductor, who was armed, also was heavy set, in his fifties and had graying hair, according to Suzanne. BOTH GIRLS were reportedly driven around for a short time, slapped in the face several times, and then driven near their homes where they were released.

Katherine was released around midnight Sunday, about six hours after she nad been kidnapped. Katherine knocked on the door of Mrs. Judith Papciak, 2368 Irene in unin- a Palatine Township, who called Cook County Police. Katherine was then taken to Ravenswood Hospital, where she was later released after treatment for facial bruises. Katherine had been kidnapped while playing with Suzanne near the Chicago and North Western Rwy.

tracks about 100 yards from the Kuhn's townhouse home at 579 Shorley. While police refused to say whether Katherine or her sister recognized the abductor, Katherine's father, John C. Kuhn, said he was convinced the abductor was "a local person." Hemmingson said he had been in contact with the North Barrington police, and that they would be continuing their investigations together. "I THINK IT was at little easier than playing a real person because the computer can't think for itself and doesn't have a strategy," Kurt said after the match, which lasted about three hours and 20 minutes. The computer normally took about a minute to decide on its move, Kurt said, but certain variations in the boy's strategy sometimes apparently bewildered the electronic brain forcing it to delay its move up to five minutes.

Kurt had been recommended to participate in the computer tourney by Rich- ard Berber of the Chicago Chess Club, one of several chess associations the youngster plays in. Now a seventh-grader at Rand Junior High School, Kurt first learned to play chess a little over a year ago in the learning center at Patton Elementary School. Since then books and a lot of practice have been his principal teachers. Although his parents encouraged him to learn the game no one else in the family plays, his mother said. DAVID J.

SLATE, a systems analyst Teachers Council Requests Probe Of Salary Talks at Northwestern and programmer for Chess 3.5 the computer's tournament name said that although the machine has no strategy per se, it tries out all its moves in advance, often thinking as much as five moves ahead. The computer was victorious in last year's tournament, but this year just couldn't seem to recover from Kurt's surprise opening which, the boy said, "really botched it up." Kurt, who would like to be a chess master himself some day, says he thinks Boris Spassky the 34-year-old Russian world champion, is probably the best chess player alive today, although an American, Bobby Fischer, is fast catching up with him. At 12 years of age, Kurt Schultz still has a number of years to perfect his game. A game which is already good enough to short circuit a computer. Home Delivery 394-0110 Missed Paper?

"There's a certain percentage of our teachers that is quite conservative who would never consider withholding their services." HOWEVER, HE SAID the board of education "has failed to recognize the burden they have placed on the individual teachers' because the board's offer "is totally unacceptable." The board offer made last week calls for a six per cent package deal increase, including a salary schedule, to last one year. Beginning teachers with Dist. 15 would make a base salary of $7,650. Continuing teachers would move one step up on the present salary schedule, plus receive a one and one-fourth per cent raise.

Teachers already at the maximum ex- perience level would be granted a six per cent flat increase over their present salaries. Teacher negotiators proposed a salary schedule with a $7,900 base on the current index, which would cost the board approximately $158,000 more than their offer and would give the teachers approximately a four and one-fourth per cent raise after then 1 vertical move on last year's schedule. "THE OFFER THE BOARD has come up with will not keep my family financially even for the next year," Butler said. "I've already spent my raise of last year for continuing my own education." Although the teacher negotiators are dissatisfied with the board's offer, "we would never agree to a settlement that would jeopardize the financial security of the school district," he said. May Establish Cemetery Board A Palatine Township cemetery board may be elected to oversee maintenance and upkeep of certain cemeteries in the township.

The township board of auditors, meeting Monday night in the Town Hall, said they will discuss the possibility of a cemetery board in greater detail at the September meeting. However, township supervisor Howard I. Olsen said the creation of such a board would not come until the next meeting of the township electors in April. The board of auditors also requested Olsen to ask the Cook County Highway Department to study the need of four- way stop signs at the intersections of Quentin Road with Illinois Street' and Palatine Road. Presently only drivers along Quentin Road have stop signs.

OLSEN SAID a constantly increasing number of abandoned and small, poorly- kept cemeteries in the township shows a need for a cemetery board. One small cemetery has already asked the township to accept the deed to the cemetery and provide maintenance for it. Olsen said new township statutes provide that a township may create a cem- etery board which can accept deeds for cemeteries, provide maintenance for them and levy taxes to pay for the maintenance. Olsen said, however, he did not think any additional taxes would have to be levied to cover the maintenance expense. "While I don't want to make a prediction on how much it would cost us," he said, "I do feel pretty confident that our general fund would cover it." But Olsen said the tax levy for decorating the Town Hall, instead of being dropped next year when the decorating is finished, would probably be kept to pay for the cemetery maintenance.

This tax levy is now part of the general fund. Olsen said he hopes the township could attract sincere, hard-working members to the board. Township statutes provide only for a $50 a year compensation for cemetery board members, he said, so he doubted anyone would want the job for any financial compensation. Olsen sale the creation of such a board could wait until April because with winter coming soon no work could be done on the cemeteries this year, anyway.
