County appeals board denies mobile home setback variance
The Grundy County Board of Appeals denied a setback variance for Donald Noonan to place a trailer within 90 feet of Illinois 47 after three residents urged stricter adherence to zoning rules. The panel also approved Melvin L. Jackman’s variance to 20 feet for a rebuilt shed, granted a rezoning for Frank Weber to M II along the river, and approved Marjorie and Celeste Kinsella’s move to B I zoning for a tearoom business with a required health department septic inspection.

Parochial schools shielded from union bargaining ruling
The Supreme Court by five to four held federal labor laws do not apply to church run schools teaching both religious and secular subjects. The decision affects about 108,000 lay teachers in nearly 10,000 Catholic schools and upholds a lower court's ruling in Chicago and Fort Wayne-South Bend dioceses. Justice Brennan dissented, saying the interpretation was plainly wrong.

Levees stressed in Peoria and Moline as Rock, Kishwaukee, and Fox rivers spilled. 15 grain cars derailed south of Chicago with no injuries.
