At 7:50 p.m. on the 20th, the squad was called to River Terrace where a resident slipped on the T6e and suffered lacerations of the skull. The victim was taken into the McHenry hospital by the squad for further treat ment. On the 21st, at 12 ^ a.m. they were summoned to a home near Huemann's subdivision where a three month old baby suffered possible respiratory trouble and heart condition which proved fatal. These two calls pushed the running count up to 2,445. The safety tip from the rescue squad this week has to do with ice skating ponds. They urge parents to be sure to check where children are going skating to be certain the ice is safe. Also warn your children not to attempt to go out on ice that is questionably safe. A sad thing happened in Wonder Lake recently so please, parents, urge your young ones to use extreme caution when going out onto the ice. Vehicle Stickers Still Available Another reminder from the Johnsburg rescue squad that the 1965 vehicle stickers can be picked up at several business places in town at any time.
