Thursday, Dee#mber 12, 1963 THE McHSNftY PLAINDEALtR Plg» Thiw YOUNG DEMOCRATS ENJOY FILM ON CONSUMER FRAUD The film "Consumer Fraud" was featured at the Dec. 3 meeting of the Young Democrats of McHenry County at the Bowl Hi in Huntley.

It's easy to KEEP YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE FRESH. As soon as you get it home, cut 3" off trunk and place tree in bucket of water. Keep outside, away from sun and wind, or in unheated garage or basement. If you've leaned it against a wall, turn it daily so j the branches don't get bent' on only one side. When you set j up the tree for trimming, use a non-tip stand with a water well. Keep container full so bottom of trunk is always covered. Any sagging or additional branches can be supported and secured with wire attached to trunk. And say, here's an easy way to SPARKLE-UP YOUR TREE and give it a gay, finished touch. Simply spray tree lightly with your hair spray or a quick-dry lacquer. Then sprinkle on gold or silver glitter.

Using a separate cloth for each, apply kerosene, then gasoline, and finally rub in linseed oil until spot disappears. WRAP - A - PRETTY - (SIFT - HINT: You'll get neater packages by using the least paper necessary. Measure by cutting a piece equal to twice the width and height of box, plus 1" (for overlap): For patterned paper, center design on top of box before measuring. We had such fun, too, using all our OLD CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR GIFT DECORATIONS that I thought you'd like the idea! With some cards wc just punched a hole and tied them to the package as tags. With extra-pretty cards, we got fancy--by first pasting a doily on the package and then centering the card on the doily. We added a touch of ribbon and bow--the packages looked so delightful everyone hated to open them! Speed up HOLIDAY COOKIE BAKING by cutting some in square shapes. You can "slice" them from the rolled dough with a knife rapidly and leave no dough trimmings to be rolled again. Saves space on cookie sheets too. Decorating Tip: Dip half of each cookie into frosting. Watch for Maggie every week. Gloucester, Mass., has lost over 10,000 men to the sea, over the past .°>00 yeais.

A TAXPAYER'S LAMENT "Dear Editor: "We have just received a letter from the state's attorney's office to notify u» that their records show us to be delinquent in personal property taxes for the years 1952, '53 and '54. We have been given the option of paying said taxes by Dec. 16 or having suit filed immediately to enforce collection of same. "When first notified of our delinquency by the treasurer's office in March of 1962, a letter written in protest stating that we ^could not find any notification of tax due for the aforementioned years and urged their office to check their files to see if any such tax bills were ever sent to us. "We have kept records for the past seventeen years of every tax bill received, real estate, income tax and personal property as well as receipts of any major purchase, automobile, furnace, etc. We have invited an investigation into our records which will prove that since we purchased our home in Wonder Lake in 1947 we have never defaulted on real estate or any other taxes. Why, then, cago, with burial in Resurrection cemetery. Mrs. Pomierski, 67, a long time resident of the McHenry area, died Dec. 3 in Memorial hospital, Woodstock. She was a native of Chicago, where she was born Dec. 3, 1896. Survivors are her husband. Alex; two sons and a daughter. FRANK HUDECEK Frank S. Hudecek, 66, a resident of 7607 Beach road, Wonder Lake, for one year, died in Memorial hospital, Wonder Lake, on Friday, Dec. 6. He had been hospitalized for thirty-two days. Mr. Hudecek was born May 1, 1897. He is survived by his wife He was preceded in death by a son, Melvin, one year ago. The body was taken to the George R. Justen and Son chapel and then removed to the Marik funeral home in Berwyn for final arrangements. would we refuse to pay for those particular years? "Regardless of how unfair we feel the personal property tax to be, we have paid each year since our first bill, which we received in 1955. Perhaps the day will come when this tax will be abolished by voters who feel as I do about this most un- American tax of all. As long as it is the law we must pay or suffer the consequences; however, I do feel that instead of looking back into the morgue for a scapegoat or two to get a few pennies from, it would serve their purpose much better to get after those who never pay their debts and boast contemptuously about it. "In the past I have quietly paid my. tax bills, but when you fihd out almost ten years later that you are a dead-beat, it sort of destroys something in your concept of democracy. We are discouraging our residents from trying to better themselves. Why should anyone work hard to have a nice home, automobile, good furniture, etc. knowing that you will be penalized for doing so by an increase in your personal property tax? "Our forefathers fought a war in protest over taxation. What kind of jelly fish would they think we are when we meekly pay our federal income tax, real estate tax, luxury tax, sales tax and many more and then you are rewarded for your hard labor by paying taxation on taxation--the personal property tax. "Let us unite and destroy this one-sided tax. Let us have a tax bill that makes everyone contribute their just amount. Write to your representative now. "A Disappointed Voter, "Stanley G. Wilson "Wonder Lake, 111." Money doesn't buy peace, but it seems to negotiate many armistices.
