McHem y I# (Continued form Page 1) toj*Jn// Obemdorf, Austria, who "composed "Stille Nacht" on Christmas Eve , 1818L and Franz Gruber, the local ^schoolmaster and organist, composed the music the same day .How many times that beautiful hymn has been sung since the first rendition at midnight Mass that same night! Many, more carols live on and become more loved with each passing year though their composers are almost forgotten. Charles Wesley, brother of John Wesley, wrote "Hark,-the Herald Angels Sing" in 1739 and Phillips Brooks, a noted Boston clergyman, wrote "O Little Town of Bethlehem" in 1S68 after visiting Bethlehem. Many other of the more familiar carols have composers unknown. So if you should go carolling this Christmas season, think of other carollers of years gone by--of the people of Charles Dickens' time in their beaver hats and cutaway coats, of English villagers in hose and jerkin, of good St. Francis, and of the priests of the time of the Christian Roman Empire, who, before carolling as we know it existed, sand "in celebration of our Lord". •!*v Two Christmas cards came directly to the "Musin and Meanderin" desk and the season's greetings contained in them were most welcome. One was from loyal reader Mrs. Gene Dobyns, the other from the Chicago Deans of Harmony and particularly from one of its members, a former McHenry lad, "Biff" Meyer. We'll have more about the Deans in the spring, when they present one of their outstanding shows in Oak Park. From Viet Nam comes word that Pfc. Thomas Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Miller of Wonder Lake, was named headquarters company "soldier of the month" and later won the same battalion honor. Learning of the honor reminded us of the Thanksgiving menu sent home recently by Tom, who had marked off the items listed (about half) which never found their way to the table. The menu was complete with Commander's message and Thanksgiving prayer. Only one thing, according to Tom, was omitted -- his holiday assignment to K.P. VILLAGE OF LAKEMOOR ORDINANCE NO. 65-0-6 GARBAGE TAX LEVY TO AMEND AN ORDINANCE FOR THE LEVY OF A GARBAGE TAX FOR THE VILLAGE OF LAKEMOO&, ILLINOIS, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING MAY 1, 1965 AND ENDING APRIL 30, 1966. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF LAKEMOOR, McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS: Section 1. That there be and is hereby levied upon all the taxable property within the Corporate limits of said Village for the year 1965, in addition to the maximum of taxes authorized for general corporate purposes, a garbage tax of not more than .14 per cent of the full, fair cash value as assessed or equalized by the Department of Revenue, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 24, Section 11-20-6, Illinois Revised Statutes, 1961, as amended by Senate Bill 325 of the 1965 Legislative Session. Section II. That the Village Clerk be and is hereby directed to file with the County Clerk of McHenry County, Illinois, a certified copy of this Ordinance as provided by law. Section III. That should any clause, sentence, paragraph or part of this Ordinance be declared by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the Ordinance as a.whole or any part thereof the most important for each of us to pledge oUr support of fire safety. Lights on the Christmas tree and in holiday lighting displays are sources of great pleasure to everyone. They can also be sources of potential tragedy if precautions are not taken. It is certainly worth every effort to assure a Merry Christmas! From news stories which occur almost daily in small cities and large alike, it would seem that heme fires are on the increase in recent weeks. Tragic as they are at any time of year, during the Christmas season the loss of lives and property takes on an even sadder note. One optimistic fact is that on a year 'round basis fire prevention is paying off. \tfhile estimated dollar losses caused by fires exceeded a billion dollars for the eighth year in a row in 1964, there was some decline from losses the previous year. Tho American Insurance association has stated that without fire prevention efforts, the nation's fire losses would be three times higher than they are today. The Christmas season is one This Christmas you can give to charity without spending a cent. Sound impossible? Well, it isn't. There is a charity called New Eyes for the Needy, Inc. located in Short Hills, N.J. which does not want your money. AH it wants are your discarded eyeglasses, antique and costume jewelry and bits of scrap precious me^al.

Several items were also taken from the Raymond Bachmann home on Lauderdale drive and the home was ransacked. Read the Classifieds Regular School Attendance A Must "But our family hasn't had a vacation together in years. Dad has this two weeks off just before Christmas .Mom says to tell you to write down all the assignments and I'll turn them in the day we get b a c k," promised exuberant Lee. How many times have teachers planned ahead and written out assignments for vacationing children with always this promise? All too often 'nary a speck of work has been completed. True, the child has gained valuable experience but rarely does it substitute for his regular daily attendance at school. Vacations should take place during times when classes are not in session. With each passing year, regualr school attendance seems to be taken more lightly by parents as w«»ll/ as children. Dental and doctors' appointments are being made, during school hours with no regard for the fact that the child's presence at his scheduled classes should take precedence. / ^venr excu ed illnesses ca* be no substitute for learning. In order to pass a subject or grade, it is necessary to achieve a defined course of study. If a pupil is absent, it is mandatory that he make up the work he has missed. He cannot be excused from it. Should he be so unfortunate as to miss many of his classes, he should not be allowed to pass despite the fact that he has completed the homework. The class period itself can never be replaced. The pupil learns from everything that is said and done in the class session. He learns from the discussions and develops a depth of understanding not attainable in any other way. Poor health can never be offered as an excuse for failing to cover the material offered in a course. The student has no right to a passing grade and would actually be cheated if he were given such a grade. Why? Simply because he would not have at his disposal the knowledge that had been prescribed for him. He should be expected to repeat the course or grade. Yes, regular attendance at school has much to do with determining school success. Insist on it for your child. Temptation has a hard time overtaking men who run from it.
