Quotes From The Village Board The signs at each entrance to the village will be painted in the near future and in addition to the information already inscribed, our population will also be prominently displayed. When we incorporated in 1955, a special census was conducted and revealed that we had 685 souls "on board " The 1960 census proved that we had grown and the total population soared to 759. It is fun to speculate what 1970 will yield! Bill Creutz, Chairman of finance, read the appropriations for the coming fiscal year and it was specified as ordinance No. 56. It was unanimously approved and will be published according to the Illinois state laws. The village attorney, Karl Koch, was instructed by the board to prepare a resolution appointing the firm of Chapman and Cutler as authorized village bonding attorneys. This also received unanimous approval. The next meeting will be held Monday, May 27 at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. The public is invited. March but we print it now for your edification. Robert Jay who will be two months old Smorrow, was born March 24 St. Joseph's hospital, Elgin. At that time he weighed 7 lb., 4oz. If he had waited a few hours he would have been born on mama's birthday--March 25. He joined a family which Includes Lee--4 and Chrissy--l1,*. While talking with Mrs. Legler we learned that her sister and two lads who were stationed in Haiti were among the first to be evacuated when the internal situation became so fearful. Mrs. Litzi Buck and children, Renee and Eric, are living with Mrs. Legler's parents in Holiday Hills. They are Mr. and Mrs. Bernhard Schwanke. Mrs. Buck and the two boys were stationed with her husband Major John Buck for8manths when the evacuation orders were received. The three of them were flown out immediately, but Major Buck is still there. Local Gendarmes To F.B.I. School Our police chief and three of his officers have been attending an 8 week course in Woodstock, sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The first of the 2% hour sessions (once a week) began on Tuesday, May 14. The officers include Jack Schlofner, Earl and Larry Murray and Jim Argy. They are being lectured on such topics as public relations, police line-up, techniques and mechanics of arrest, use of tear gas equipment, crime scei\e search, and collection of evidence to name a few. In addition, they will receive briefings on the latest laws governing arrest and other pertinent information. These men give their own time to attend these classes and take advantage of the opportunity to make better guardians of the law and our citizens. They are to be highly commended for this public service. ^ Better Late Than Never Sorry we missed the birth of the Leglers' last baby born in The Parentis Proudly Announec The arrival of four! new members to their household (and one more to come!) The four new bundles of joy are 2 male and 2 females--toy French poodles. Proud mama is Babette.

Grandmother Meets Her Grandson Phyllis and Denny Straumann returned home Saturday morning from a jaunt to Minnesota which covered over one thousand miles. The young Straumanns wanted Denny's mother to have the opportunity to see her three grandchildren --Sandy, Debby and Denny. It was the first time she had seen their sop. Mrs. Wilma Russell resides in Minneapolis. It was the first time that all three Straumann sons were able to be with their mother on Mother's Day for many years. Present at the festivities were newly wedded Mr. and Mrs. Delton Straumann (married in December) and Darrell. Phyllis and Denny then proceeded on to Tracy, Minn., to visit with Denny's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Art Bollhoefer, and one aunt--Mrs. Walter Wegner. The five arrived home in time to celebrate Denny's t w e n t y - s i x t h b i r t h d a y on May 20. Fine Physical Specimen Lottie Piotrowski is greatly relieved after her four day hospital trip. She received a clean bill of health and was released from Memorial Hospital for McHenry County last Thursday. Teen Capers Our basement received a thorough cleaning last Saturday.

R. gave a birthday party for his chum, Don Nelson, who became 13 on Monday, May 20, but the party was held Saturday p.m. Those present to 'twist" were Janet and Mark Hansen, Bettyanne and Jack Granath, Karen McKim, John Bailey, Louise Matthesius, plus Don and J. R. The youngsters snacked all evening and finished with a delicious strawberry cream cake provided by mother Nelson. Real cute kids. Orchid Occasions Birthday greetings are in HALF OF COUNTY CITIZENS ASSURE COLLEGE SUPPORT Nearly half of McHeray county citizens would be willing to give continuing support to a local community college and more than half desired a college education ' for tbeir children. Those were some of the facts reported last week to the McHenry County Community College committee by the population sub-committee. The findings are based on tabulations from a citizens' survey in which 568 persons were interviewed. Survey respondents were selected by a scientifically conducted random sampling technique. By this means, conclusions can be drawn for the county's entire population. The preliminary report also revealed that 48 per cent «of the respondents' children were in the elementary school age group (age 5-13 years old), 17 percent were high school age, 13 percent of college age, and 21 percent under 5 years old. More than 40 per cent of the respondents said they preferred a local community college over any other type of institution of higher education. Principal reasons given as to why they thought the community college was a good idea were (1) convenience -- its closer to home, order for the top man in our household today, May 23. Jake is a member in good standing with the "39ers". .Sonny Hocin is due for greetings also, to day. Last we heard, he was somewhere at sea aboard the U.S.S. Northhampton.. .Thirty one years wed for Nancy and Tony Doolin today, May 23. Best wishes to all. ELM PROBLEMS^ The" Illinois Department of Agriculture said there is no need for concern about the "scorched" appearance on some elm trees this spring. The condition is brought about by an extremely heavy production of seeds on some elms this year and is not due to any plant pCst. In the next few weeks, however, steps will have to be All parents who were involved in prom weekend last drew a sigh of relief on Monday but it sure was fun. Guess the kids thought so too. Don't forget to call 385-3191 this afternoon or tonight with those news notes. See you next Wednesday. and (2) economy -- educational costs are lower. Other significant of the survey were: 1. McHenry county residents are most proud of their schools (most frequently mentioned), their churches, and their recreational facilities. They think McHenry county is a good place to live and that the people are friendly. f 2. While most of the respondents owned real estate in the county, they were still willing to support a community college. 3. Most of McHenry county's citizens do their shopping within the county. There were only a few mentions of Chicago as a shopping area. 4. Largest occupational groups in the survey were farmers and industrial workers. In general, said William Tittle of Woodstock, chairman of the Population Sub-committee, the reaction to the community college idea was favorable. "The survey showed that most of the county's citizens want a good education for their children." Members of the Building and Site committee also reported on possible sites for a com' munity college. Committee members at the last meeting were instructed to look for possible sites of 80 to 125 actres within the county. Sub-committee Chairman James Skeen of Crystal Lake emphasized that his group would not attempt to pinpoint a specific location. Actual selection of a site, he added, would be made only if a community college becomes a reality in McHenry county and then the decision would be made by the college's board of education. taken to cope with elm leaf beetles. The Agriculture Department's plant industry division advises spraying the trees as soon as any damage is noted. They advise using two pounds of 50 per cent DDT wettable powder, or four pounds of arsenate of lead per 100 gallons of water. This is equivalent to two teaspoons of DDT, or fowf teaspoons of arsenate of lea(| per gallon of water. t** SHOP AT.
