Happy Birthday to you both to the Highlands at Route 12 is a very dangerous corner at night and there have been many requests for a light to be installed for everyone's protection. It has been reported that plans are under way for this light and it should be installed before Christmas. Another hazaard at Route 12 are the trees jetting out in the road. Plans are also under way to remove at least one, possibly two of them, which will enable us to widen the road, making it possible for two cars to go through without sideswiping each other. * The heating and electric bids for our community hall are all in and all bids claim work to be done by the first of the year. At our Jan. 2, meeting, you should see at least one of these improvements completed.

There have been a couple of bait shops coming into the community with their trucks and equipment and cutting holes in the ice in order to get minnows. These holes have been left unguarded with no warnings whatsoever, making it very dangerous for our ice skaters. If you should notice such an operation going on, please contact our deputy sheriffs, Ray Novotny or John Thelen. We are on our way to a good government, thanks to our by laws committee. They have, done a wonderful job of amending and adding to the by laws and are op^n for more suggestions.

Our special to Mrs. Neils°n and Mrs Moi. Mbano, as thej were in charge of them and will be in charge >f the January • igs. I'm sure we can expect something equally as nice. Brownie and Scout News Our boy scouts are out selling Christmas wreaths, so let's give them a helping hand. We can all use Christmas decorations either at home or at work, or we can even give them to someone as a gift. Our girl scouts are just about finished with their decorations of Mrs. Haubold and Mrs. Montalbano. At their last meeting, they had their investiture of the following girls: Linda Dobecki, Paulette Geirsbach, Garda Haubold, Sandra Heir, Jeanne Janquart, Mary Lynn Johnson, Virginia Karis, DeUorah Mont alba no, Sybil Peterson, Charlotte ^Smith and Darlene Smolinski. ^^TElaine Schuble is also a member of this troop, but unfortunately was sick and unable to attend.

I'm sure we will be very proud of their work. The scouts have extended an open invitation to all adults to attend any of their meetings. Why not drop in and see them in operation, you'll be pleased and so will they. Our Brownies are also doing very well, under the leadership they are working so hard on their Christmas parry and caroling for us. They didn^t have much time for making their plans, but without a doubt it will be a big success. Keep up the good work, kids, before lpng you will t be tak ing over the association and its functions. SHOP IN McHENRY 4<fc«rfwemant From where I sit... iy Joe Marsh Jusf Call Me Cupid The counter down at Pete's was full yesterday, except for three seats near the end, so I plunked myself down on the middle one. As I took my first sip of coffee a cute young couple came in--a girl in her early twenties followed by a fellow perhaps a year or two older. Without saying a word, they took the only two seats left-- on either side of me. Remembering my younger days, I insisted the young man take my seat so's they could be together. He hesitated at first, then finally he shrugged, grinned and said to the girl, "Well, let's make him happy. My name's •Ricky*. What's yours?" From where I sit, there was no harm done that time; but jumping to conclusions can be embarrassing. In fact, it's sometimes mean and intolerant--like the way some folks jump to the conclusion a man's "wrong" to prefer a glass of beer over another beverage. Lack of facts coupled with lack of judgment introduces trouble. Copyright, 1956, United States Brewers Foundation One million printed reminders to check their drivers' licenses will be handed to Illinois motorists at major intersections between now and Christmas, according to Gov. William G. Stratton and ^Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier. State police under Gov. Stratton and drivers' license inspectors and automobile investigators from - Secretary Carpentier's office will distribute the notices at major intersections throughout the state. The program is the initial stage of state participation in the nationwide effort to "Back the Attack On Traffic Accidents." sponsored jointly by the Presid e n t ' s C o m m i t t e e o n T r a f f i c ; Safety ' and the National Safety council. . The notices will bear the semblance of a "Caution" road sign. The reverse side will urge motorists to check their own drivers' license expiration ° dates while also presenting ten safe driving tips . Gov. Stratton and Secretary Carpentier decided on the plan to focus attention on the importance of a valid license^ The notices will also serve as a reminder for personal responsibility in highway safety. Need for the program becomes imperative in view of the shocking number of deaths during last' year's Christmas holidays. The program of increasing official attention on the elimination of principal causes of Illinois traffic accidents will continue through 1957. 3s *T f Buy U.S. savings Bonds •M * / |s§||plsi ' : J iiMl "OOH, WHAT A DIVINE IDEA!"

' tap.; # What's it Got % Everyone's After? WE figured folks would go for the *57 Buicic-^and big. But we sure didn't figure this--the most rousing reception we've ever seen in all our years of selling new Buicks. We re getting more enthusiastic talk -- along with the signed orders--than ever before. And, neighbor, if you want to know why--listen: This '57 Buick has that sleek low-sweep styling that today's moderns want--and it's here in extra-long measure, in the lowest Buick yet. It has the room they want -- for Buick's new wide-frame chassis permits a sports-car silhouette with more interior roominess than even last year's spacious Buicks. It has newness everywhere, and newness that's wanted ... A smart new panoramic windshield of vaster dimensions and greater visibility. The sweet, solid surety of a new "nested" ride. A brilliant new handling and cornering and levelized braking that come of an ingenious new ball-joint suspension. It even has the modern answer for today's driving -- a new Safety-Minder* that watches your miles-per-hour for you. But even more important, this rakish sweep of automobile has a new kind of instant response--and that'js the biggest reason for the soaring popularity of the newest Buick yet. S For here is performance--smooth as spun silk -- unleashed by a totally new V8 engine 364 cubic inches big, and with the highest compression, torque and horsepower in Buick annals. And here, to deliver that might, is the pow^r-pitch action of an advanced new Variable Pitch Dynaflow.* A Dynaflow of such instantaneous obedience, such smooth and versatile control in "Drive"-- the need for "Low" is virtually ended. In all truth, you've never bossed a car so keenly alive, so smooth in motion, so solid in feel. It's ahead of its time, ahead of the industry -- even ahead of your great expectations. Come check up on all this for yourself. Come drive this shoulder-high sweetheart with the strong he-and-she appeal. Come be our guest--today. *Neto Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow Is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standard on Roadmaster, Super and Century--optional at modest extra cost on the Special. Safety-Minder standard on Roadmaster, optional other Series.
