PROPERTY LIENS "Dear Editor: "Undoubtedly growing resentment is increasing in the Lakeland Park and Lakeland Shores area recently annexed to the city of McHenry, due to the Lakeland Park Property Owners association position of stating property liens will be placed against those in the area who do not continue to pay association dues to this organization,,, according to many attending a recent gathering in the area. "Many think it ridiculous that there are now two types of citizens in the city of McHenry because those who never lived in the areas mentioned are not threatened with these property liens, while those that do are under duress to pay dues to this organization or suffer the consequence of liens being placed against their property. Most thought that when they became citizens of the city of McHenry, they would have equal rights with all other citizens of the city and could continue membership in associations, etc., or discontinue as they chose. "Many old-timers contend the city of McHenry ceases being a happy community if there are to be two types of citizens, one who must obey this treatment, while the other remains free to do as they choose in regard to their association, as free American citizens. I think it indicated poor leadership for an association to obtain membership by force. "It appears the new and old citizens of McHenry are now wondering if this situation will be corrected rapidly without legal litigation but i# a true American spirit? "Ray C. Smith" MANY ISSUES DEBATED BY VOTER LEAGUE Mrs. Daniel Weisz,president of the League of Women Voters is that group's official delegate to the national convention of the League of Women Voters of the United States, being held in Chicago from April 29 to May 3. Mrs. James Miyashiro has been registered as an observer. Representatives of the 145,- 000 League women in the United States have a lively time discussing issues and debating the merits of various proposals. Foremost on the agenda is selection of a national program for 1969-1970. The League of Women Voters . is a non-partisan organization dedicated to the principles of self-governmeritestablished in the Constitution. Its members study, evaluate and take concerted action on issues at the local, state and national level. They propose positive steps to improve government on every level, as well as provide voters with factual information on the functions of government and political parties, voting procedures, ballot issues and candidates. A current example is the voter machine training sessions now being planned by Mrs. George Hoffman and Mrs. William Schuette as a voter service of the local League. The sessions will include precinct maps and registration service and will be held in McHenry and Woodstock on May 10 and 11. For information contact Mrs. Hoffman or Mrs. Schuette. For forty-seven years Illinois League woman-power has studied and helped secure passage of such items as improved child labor legislation, independent citizenship for women, codification of election laws, increased state aid for schools, the Gateway amendment, the Judicial amendment and a water resources management program. Top on the list of state's seventy-nine leagues is Con-Con. They will campaign for a favorable vote in the referendum calling for a convention to study and improve Illinois' 1870 Constitution.

Chapel Hill Road 385-0333 McHenry, Illinois 1 The Drivers JSeat 1 During spring and summer, one frequently hears phases like: "Yep, we'll be on the road before dawn Saturday. Alice and I will trade off driving, and if we make good time Saturday night we'll be at the cottage in time for a full day on the water Sunday." Pure suicide. . . Motorists who start off their one -, two - or three-week vacations with marathon highway trips are risking fatal auto accidents. Even if they make it to their destinations safely,they're tired and dragged out for days afterward - unable to really enjoy the vacations they were in such a hurry to start. From a five-year survey in which literally hundreds of thousands of motorists were interviewed, the Arizona Highway Patrol learned that fatigue, unfamiliar ity with the road and negligence were the three main causes of vacation driving difficulties. Here are some startling facts they uncovered: --Thousands of drivers admitted driving more than 1,000 miles without an overnight rest. Hundreds said they had driven more than 2,000 miles under the same condition. Drivers frequently boasted about their marathon performances. --Thousands of drivers who said they had napped at the roadside or while somebody else drove remarked that they still felt sleepy. --On long trips, more than 50 percent of the drivers interviewed scheduled rest stops more than 600 miles apart. --The vast majority of drivers who had accidents or became lost while on unfamiliar roads had been driving for more than eight hours at the time of the incident. --Hundreds of drivers started out on trips of more than 1,000 miles in cars poorly equipped or in faulty condition - leaky exhaust systems, weak brakes, oil in need of a change, bald tires, wheels out of balance and alignment, and no flashlight, flares or reflective devices with which to warn other drivers in case of car trouble at night. --Tens of thousands of drivers either had no seat belts or weren't wearing them when interviewed by police. --The spare tires of hundreds .of cars were flat or low on air - in country where the nearest service station can be more than 25 miles away, j --Finally, one driver boasted that he's bcciiuiiviii£ nillicut Sleep for three days. (Let's hope the police arrested him - for reckless driving). If your vacation includes a long drive, plan rest stops every 300 to 500 miles, make sure you know the route you' re going to take and check your car's condition. And take your time. . .
