PUBLIC PULSE SHOP AT HOME It was my unfortunate experience this past week to take a short trip into Crystal Lake to see what has been set before the . public for the holiday season. Contrary to some opinions, I found -nothing more than our own town has to offer. I say shop at home for many reasotis, but mainly becausfe of the disgusting way in which I found the public is treated in that area. What used to be a fine town is now a hub-bub of people, milling around in a way much like that of Chicago's loop. I found it impossible to contact any part of the Chamber of Commerce in my unhappy trip to the police station and city hall. You see, I was the victim of a traffic violation. To concieve the entire situation, one would have to write a book, and so, to make a long story short, I was ticketed on a ' "local ordinance". Having misjudged my distance, my right front tire was a fraction into the next parking lane, however, not preventing1 two other autos from using that space. At the police station, the officer in charge, (who let me know that he could hardly know that I was a stranger and that 15,000 persons were in and out of Crystal Lake every day), graciously sent me to the judge. After relating my story again to the judge, I told him that I thought it unfair to ticket a person during the holiday season on a minor thing, especially since the violation was a local ordinance and I could hardly be expected to know a strange town's ordinances. I then told the judge that I would like to relate my story to a member of his Chamber of Commerce. After taking my two dollars fine and one dollar court costs, he -replied, "I don't even know who the head of the Chamber of Commerce is!" My final retort was, "That's pretty bad, when even a judge doesn't know his Chamber of Commerce." The three dollars overspent the shopping budget, but worse than that was the principal of the whole matter. We are a small town, not a greedy one. Our Chamber of Commerce goes out of its way to give the residents what they need most in the area. Our residents and residents of our outlying communities want the most for their hard-earned dollar. If all the folks want the most for their dollar, here's how! I suggest you shop at home, keep away from the heavily populated areas who will even pull a "local ordinance" on you to make a dollar for their town. Christmas is just around the corner. Give your local merchants who serve you all year round the break which they so richly deserve. McHenryite, Annette Schmit DEATH CLAIMS THREE WELL KNOWN LOCAL RESIDENTS^ Mi's.

Savings and Loan Meeting • The national convention of the United States Savings and Loan league will be held at,, the Conrad Hilton hotel in Chicago from Nov. 22 to Nov. 26. Attending from the McHenry Savings & Loan association will be the president. Dr. Urban V. Comes, and the treasurer, John J. Neuharth. Many panels and forums will be featured, during which new phases and progresses will be brought to the attention of those who attend. Other items of interest relative to savings and loan will be presented and the future of the organization will be discussed. Savings and Loan was founded 100 years ago, during which period the industry has progressed rapidly to the point where more than fifty billion dollars has been invested in this organization. This has contributed much in general development by making possible more buildings and homes. Some try hard and fail to achieve recognition, and others seem to c o m m a n d r e c o g n i t i o n w i t h o u t making the least effort. County Treasurer Vernon Kays has revealed a balance in all funds on Oct. 31 as $755,656.17. However, this is not all available for use due to the fact that it; contains separate account items, including $393,857.17 in disputed taxes. It is believed that the disputed taxes will remain at the same figure for some time due to the fact that the railroads, which account for 80 per cent of the total, now have a supreme court case pending on their tax problem. A big drain on the. general fund is the $5,000 to $6,000 each month taken out for care of tuberculosis' patients. This is necessary due 'to the fact that a referendum last spring to set up a special tax for such care failed, leaving McHenry the Only county in the state that does not operate under a. special tax. The last report of the general fund, after expenditures,' indicat ed a balance of $2,621.56. CARD OF THATFKS Our recent bereavement leaves us with grateful hearts toward neighbors and friends.
