t Thursday/ August 5. 1965 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Three -- Page Three LAKELAND PARK NEWS BARB MEURER -- KAY DRUML 885-4356 Must Observe Boating flules During the last week the residents of the park received their copies of the Newsletter and it is hoped that it was read thoroughly by everyone. Boating rules should be observed if for no other reason than safety. It is requested that nothing more than a' 5 horsepower motor be used on our lake and that boats be launched at the launching beach and not at Herzog or the East beach among the swimmers., During this past week we havfe been given reports that a 12 horse-power . motor powered boat has been coming among the swimmers on Herzog Beach. Not only is the request for motor power being ignored but to come among the swimmers on the beach is proving very dangerous. Most of the swimmers are youngsters as are the drivers of the boat. Accidents happen without realizing it and they also happen very rapidly. Let's not wait until some child is injured by a boat before the boat launching beach is used, use it now. The number of the boat should be taken by anyone seeing it among the swimmers and the proper people notified so that it can be stopped.

July 26, 1965 Mr. Loren Massey, General Space Chairman McHenry County Fair P. O. Box 375 Woodstock, Illinois Dear Mr. Massey: On or about May 17th, the Young Democrats of McHenry County Organization contacted you in order to secure authorization to set up a booth at the County Fair for the purpose of having a "Corn Boil". This was to be a club fund raising project, and a new Fair feature for the public. After several calls were made to your office by our organization. we finally were sent an application in June for the rental of space. On this application we were to indicate space desired and it stated that you would contact us. With no acknowledgement made on this application, we again called you on July 15th and were informed that the Fair Committee still had not approved our application. At this point, it is felt by our organization, that there is insufficient time remaining to adequately prepare for this project, in order to make a presentable attraction for the People of McHenry County. We further feel that 4his was a deliberate attempt to prevent us from participating in any way in the McHenry County Fair. Very truly yours, Russell M.
