Parks approve purchase of 3-acre site The Wheeling Park District approved the purchase of new 3.1-acre park last week, the first parcel of the 1972 land- acquisition program. The site is located near the Childerley Retreat House on Valley Stream Drive. The park board authorized the purchase after receiving permission from the U. S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, which is giving final review to a 50 per cent grant for the property.

The board members had delayed the actual purchase so that they would not jeopardize their grant application. The parcel, which will cost $32,500, is adjacent to a second site the park district hopes to obtain. The park board plans to develop the 3.1-acre site along with the 10-acre Ohilderley Retreat House property, 506 McHenry Rd. PARK ATTY. Roger Bjorvik said he expects the park district to close the sale in about 30 days.

The purchase is part of a general expansion program designed to provide for future growth in the community. The park district is currently negotiating for two additional sites, the Childerley property and 10 acres on Schoenbeck Road. Applications for matching grants for both sites rare now 'being prepared by Dave Greenberg, par park consultant. Greenberg said limited state funds may mean that the district will only get ap- proval of a grant for one of the proposed parcels. He, therefore, asked the board to set a priority on its acquisitions.

Board members unanimously voted to Veterans seek parade entries Wheeling's veterans organizations are still accepting entries for the Memorial Day Parade scheduled'for 9 a.m. May 26. The parade will organize at 8:30 a.m. and then step off onto Milwaukee Avenue from the parking lot of Hem's Pub, 141 S. Milwaukee Ave.

Marchers 'will proceed north to Dundee Road, head west to Wolf Road and then south to Heritage Park, where services will be conducted. Organizations planning to participate in the parade include Amvets Post 66, VFW Post 7178, American Legion Post 1968, Amvets Auxiliary 66, VFW 7178 Auxiliary, American Legion 1968 Auxiliary, Junior Amvets, Cub Scout Pack 218, Brownie Troop 998, fire and police departments, Wheeling High School Bond, Wheeling High School Naval Junior ROTC and the winners of the Am- vets Auxiliary tots king and queen contest.

High school field damage may force hiring of cop Recent damage to playing fields at Stevenson High School in Prairie View may prompt Dist. 125 to hire a policeman to patrol the school, according to Edwin Ellis, assistant superintendent for business services.

Longfellow PTO to hold '50s dance The Longfellow School PTO, Dist. 21, Buffalo Grove, will sponsor a '50s dance beginning at 8 p.m., Friday in the school gym. Bobby Socks and loafers and similar '50s-style dress is encouraged. Contests and entertainment are planned. Refreshments of pizza and soft drinks will be available.

Tickets, at $2 per couple, will be sold at the door. "Youngsters on motor bikes apparently find our baseball fields an excellent spot for racing and jumping," Ellis said last week. "They tear up the infield, use the pitcher's mound as a jumping off spot and generally cause damage that must be repaired before each game. Before the season is over, we will spend several hundred dollars in repairs because of this vandalism." The Dist. 125 school board recently passed a regulation prohibiting all types of two-and four-wheel vehicles, as well as snowmobiles, from using school property, Ellis said.

The assistant superintendent said most of the damage to the school's playing fields appears to occur on weekends. If the damage gets any worse, he said, the district will hire a policeman to patrol the entire area. In the meantime, Ellis said the sheriff's police have been asked to arrest any violators found on school property. set its first priority on the Childerley site. They plan to develop the 10 acres of orchards and meadowland as an outdoor recreation center, summer day camp and community meeting place.

THE COMMISSIONERS, however, told Greenberg to push whichever project is most likely to be funded. Greenberg said the state would probably be most favorable for the 10-acre Lichter farm property on Schoenbeck Road, noting a pending condemnation suit filed by the park district. Final word on the applications for 60 per cent matching state funds is expected in August. While the state grant would provide 60 per cent of the purchase price, the park district is also applying for a 50 per cent grant from the federal government. Greenberg said the park district has a better chance of funding from the federal government because of the amount of money available.

The park district has set aside $275,000 in referendum funds for land acquisition. The board, however, does not want to spend this money until matching grants are approved. The park becomes ineligible for matching funds once it uses this money to purchase land. School choral concert May 15 Choral groups at Adlai Stevenson High School, Prairie View, will present their annual spring concert at 8 p.m. May 15 in the auditorium.

Major portions of the rock opera "Jesus Christ, Superstar" will be sung by the a capella choir.Soloists who recently sang in the school musical "South Pacific" will be featured. The Stevenson rock band will accompany the group. The girls' glee club will sing selections from several musicals including "Matchmaker" from "Fiddler on the Roof," "I Feel Pretty" from "West Side Story," "Come to Me, Bend to Me," from "Brigadoon" and selections from "The Sound of Music."

Choral groups will be under the direction of William Misik, music department chairman. William Gallagher, English department instructor, win be the narrator.

Tickets for the concert, $1 each, may be purchased at the door. Two new locations revealed Syndicate-linked machines number 10 by LYNN ASINOF The number of crime syndicate-linked vending machines licensed in the Village of Wheeling increased to 10 in the last- minute rush for 1974-75 business licenses. A license was issued late last week to Whippletrec Village for a vending machine owned by the Deluxe Cigarette Service 7730 N. Milwaukee Niles. This makes a total of nine Wheeling licenses issued for Deluxe machines.

The other machines are located in eight local restaurants. In addition, The Herald has learned that a license has been issued to Wheeling Manor 144 N. Milwaukee for a juke box owned by Apex Amusements located at the same Niles address. The vending machine companies have been linked to crime syndicate figures Gus Alex and Edward Vogel by various state and local crime investigating agencies. A HERALD SURVEY last year found that Wheeling is the only Northwest suburb with a concentration of syndicate- linked machines.

Village records showed a total of six Deluxe and one Apex ma- chine licensed in Wheeling during 197374. Deluxe has since gained three new machines in Wheeling. According to village records, Deluxe High school choral guild to meet Parents of students in Buffalo Grove High School choral groups will meet tomorrow for the third meeting of the newly formed Buffalo Grove High School Choral Guild. They will meet at 8 p.m. in the school choral room.

Parents of students in the freshmen girls choir, the girls' glee club, the concert choir and the bell ringers may attend. The purpose of the group is to support the choral groups and promote the activities of the choral department. The guild hopes to finance trips, concerts and scholarships for choral students. More information on the guild is available from the president, Marilyn Crosland, 541-6197, or corresponding secretary Kathy Rice, 537-5562. also has cigaret machines at the following locations: Lums Restaurant, 102 S.

They said they were not pressured into taking the vending machines, and said they were satisfied with their service. Village Mgr. George Passolt said he plans to investigate whether the village could refuse to issue licenses to syndicate-linked vending machine companies. "This is something I will be investigating, but I don't know what we will do about it," he said. MEET A GOOD NEIGHBOR OF YOURS Stt him tor all your family insunnu needs.

GOLF MILL Air Conditioning Htg. Hunt for boa ends tragically for the pet Mike Lefebevre put out his pet snake "to get some sun" last week, but all it got was some rubber. Lefebevre, 19.

of 1610 Wintbrop Sehaumburg, set his boa constrictor alongside his car Thursday and then went to work on the auto's transmission. "I let it out to sun itself," Lefe- bevre said. After working under his auto for 15 minutes, Lefebevre said he got up and found the snake was gone. The search for the snake ended Friday afternoon, though, when it was run over by a car driven by Pam Exposito, 111 Webster Sehaumburg, about two blocks from Lefebevre's home. Lefebevre said he searched the area two hours Thursday before notifying Sehaumburg police.

Police Chief Martin Conroy said no formal search was organized because authorities told him the snake was not poisonous, and that it would only draw blood if it bit someone. It would not kill or cause a person to be sick, Conroy said. "It was not similar at all to the Buffalo Grove case," Conroy said, referring to the incident last summer in which "Seymour." believed to be an Egyptian cobra, was lost.
