EVENING TELEGRAPH, Saturday, October 23, 1971 Page 1 DIXON Amboy calendar DIXON street progress report ROCHELLE- Commissioner of Streets, Phil W. May, has released a progress report of work done in the Street Department, over and above normal Street Department work. Accomplished in the past six months was the repairing of curb, gutter and sidewalk at the corner of 10th and Ninth Street. Storm sewers inlets from 15th Street to Eighth Street were cleaned out. Installed storm sewers on Lincoln Highway between Fourth and Fifth Avenue.
This particular area in the downtown section of Rochelle had been plagued with flooding problems for years. This has now been eliminated. Built a road base of a section of an extension of the Caron Road from the Rochelle Steam Plant to County Highway 17 on the recommendation of the Rochelle Planning Commission. More storm sewers were cleaned in the area of the Rochelle Township High School and may have to be replaced because they are inadequate to carry the load. A storm sewer problem on First which had not been working properly for the past 1 14 years has been alleviated.
Eight streets in the City of Rochelle were seal-coated as per provisions under the Motor Fuel Tax provision. Investigated the possibility of a new walkway bridge on the west side of the South Main Street Bridge near Lincoln School. Work on this will be started in the near future. Road work on Seventh east from Kyte Creek to the Caron Road is expected to be finished by the end of this month. Initial contacts were made for the acquisition of an 80-foot right from the Rochelle Steam Plant north to the Chicago and NorthWestern Railroad from the Atwood Corporation of Rockford.
This acquisitionwould pave the way for the extension of Caron Road from U.S. Alt. 30 to County Highway 17, as recommended by the Rochelle Planning Commission. Meetings have been attended with the County Highway Office and the State of Illinois Highway Office to coordinate the completion of County Highway 17 easterly to U.S. 51.
It is the understanding that the State Highway Office is planning on installing a left turn lane for southbound traffic on U.S. 51 onto the proposed County Highway 17. This would then enable traffic to use this road and the extension of Caron road to industrial sites in the southeast portion of the City of Rochelle, eliminating traffic through residential areas to the industries. Meetings have been held with representatives of the Chicago and NorthWestern Railroad in connection with certain sidewalk and drainage problems at Main Sixth, Seventh and 11th streets. All ready corrected is the problem on Seventh Street.
A new storm sewer will be necessary to correct the problem at Sixth Street. May stated that the two remaining streets would become a joint project between the City of Rochelle and the Railroad. To permit the City Street Department to do a better job of snow removal, bids have been requested for work to be done in certain areas of the downtown business section. An answering service for the Street Department services has been made available to citizens.

(Telegraph Photo) Computer memory bank robbed by telephone OAKLAND, Calif.
(AP) A 29-year-old electronics whiz, Hugh Jeffrey Ward, has been ordered to stand trial on charges of stealing industrial secrets by telephone from a computer memory bank. Citing a four-year-old state law against theft of trade secrets, Municipal Court Judge William R. Levins certified the case to Superior Court Friday for trial on grand theft charges. Ward was ordered to appear in court Nov. 22.
He remains free on his own recognizance. A staff member of University Computi of Palo Alto, Ward is accused of using a special code and account number to obtain a computer pro- Guitarist, lutenist at SVC Karl F. Herreshoff, classical guitarist and baroque lutenist, will perform in concert at noon on Nov. 3 in the cafeteria at Sauk Valley College. Michael Seguin, director of student activities, said performance is part of the college's cultural events series.
Herreshoff, a California native, is currently touring the country under the auspices of the Arts Program of the Association of American Colleges. Herreshoff began his study of the classical guitar as a young man and presented his first public performance when he was 15 years of age. He later studied composition in New York and was commissioned by the Judson Memorial Church to compose a cantata. Seguin said Herreshoff's film credits include the score for "Year of the Rat," which won first prize at the 1964 Film Festival in Switzerland. He also served as an accompanist for the Chad Mitchell Trio and other performers.
During the 1966-67 season he performed in the Broadway musical, "Man of La Mancha," both on the stage and in the orchestra. During the fall of 1969 and 1970, he twice appeared as guest artist at the Peter Britt Gardens Music and Arts Festival in Oregon. Seguin said Herreshoff's performance is open to the public free of charge. Cases heard in Ogle OREGON- Thomas A. Avila, Rochelle, appeared before Associate Circuit Judge Richard L.

Phillips, Friday and pleaded guilty to an aggravated battery charge. A hearing was set for Nov. 2 and he is being held in the Ogle County Jail. Arrests in Ogle OREGON- Charles Earl gram worth $25,000 from a competing firm. The prosecution said Ward telephoned Information Systems Design, of Oakland last Jan.
19 and attempted to "pirate the program from ISD." Information Systems sells its computer services on a time basis to other firms. Customers can use the telephone to gain access to the memory banks by identifying themselves with special codes and billing numbers. The Oakland firm discovered the alleged theft after a customer received some unrequested information and the Univac began spewing data cards for no apparent reason. Police armed with a search warrant said they found evidence in Ward's office Feb. 15 which corresponded with the stolen program.
Ward, the only firm member charged, surrendered last Feb. 25. During Friday's hearing, defense counsel Spencer Strellis contended that the program Italian census too personal By DAVID MAZZARELLA Associated Press Writer ROME (AP) The government is conducting the first national head count in 10 years but some Italians are protesting that the census taker also is after information about extramarital sex and tax dodging. One question on the 18-page form asks whether each member of the family was at home between Oct. 23 and 24, or "temporarily absent." It asks further whether any person not living at the address was "temporarily present" on the same night.
"'This question can be embarrassing in not a few cases," complained il Messaggero of Rome. Thomas Bucciarelli of Rome, head of the Rights Commission of the International Union of Lawyers, said the question should be eliminated. The census, he said, the last frontier of private life." Giuseppe De Meo, 65, president of the government statistics institute that is conducting the census, replied that the question was to find out exactly how many Italians there were on a certain date and to avoid double counting. "When a group of people wants to be photographed it has to come together and keep still for an instant," he said. He said a recent census in Holland asked explicitly about sex habits.
"What would Italians have said to that?" If there is anything an Italian treats with as much reserve as his sex life, it is his tax status. In this area the questionnaire ran into more criticism. Detailed questions about the size and quality of living quarters and about employment brought fears, as the left-wing Rome paper Paese Sera said, "that the computer of the census takers is a buddy of the one of the tax collector." Italians notoriously evade taxes, a portion of which are was not a trade secret because its code was printed in a newsletter sent to ISD's customers. "They could have kept it stored in several ways to make it safe," Strellis argued. The Oakland firm could have placed a high price on use of the program, "making it economically unfeasible for others to use it," he said.
Judge Levins supported the prosecution's contention that a legitimate trade secret was involved. "ISD regarded the program as secret and the selling of the printout service made available by the program," he declared. "They were not selling the program." The program in question was to print readouts for Aerojet General Corp. of Sacramento, Calif. John J.
Ford ISD executive vice president, testified earlier that his company was the main supplier of computer services to Aerojet and that Ward's firm was a backup source. The specific nature of the program was not disclosed. levied according to living style. The Finance Ministry on Friday pronounced itself "deeply indignant" over insinuations that it would use the census for tax information. The census results, it said, will be treated with "the most absolute secrecy." The statistics instituted agreed.
"What the citizen declares," it said, "cannot be released even to the president of the republic, not to speak of the Ministry." Institute President De Meo said the state simply wanted to find out what Italians do for a living, how educated they are, how many live in substandard quarters, and how they commute to work. All very well, said Milan's Corriere Della Sera, but for the poor and uneducated, the questions are "humiliating." Rochelle mishap ROCHELLE- Rochelle police investigated a three car accident, in front of 817 N. Main at 10:41 p.m. Friday.
