REGISTRATION OPENS FOR SHRINE CIRCUS July 25 will be an exciting day when village youngsters depart our shores for a trip to Rockford for the annual Tebala Shrine circus. Wilbert Hecht, Jr., made the arrangements and Jake Levesque is chairman for the tour. Both men are members of the Temple. It is imperative that parents register the children. No applications will be given to the youngsters because of complications. It seems that in the past, the kids signed for each other, and frantic parents were looking for their young ones at midnight. Applications may be obtained at our house - 3011 N. Spring road - and all grade and junior high children are eligible for the trip. Further informantion will be printed in future columns, or call this reporter after 6:30 p.m. The buses will be loading at the beach at 5:45 p.m. for the evening performance. According to Mr. Hecht, there will be a police escort for maximum protection,, This circus trip is made possible by many Shriners donating their circus tickets and the largest automobile dealer in McHenry county underwrites the expense of the buses. This is a marvelous opportunity for our youngsters, so take advantage of it. ANOTHER VIETNAM ADDRESS We are grateful to Mrs. Virginia Tomasello who supplied us with the address of her son, Dominic.

NOTES FROM THE VILLAGE BOARD Routine committee reports were given at the last meeting of the president and trustees, Wednesday, June 5 in the beachhouse. Since Trustee Ginny Aalto and Treasurer Bill Creutz were absent, no treasurer's report was available. The finance committee willraise the appropriations for the next fiscal year because they anticipate a greater return on tax monies. Health and Welfare Chairman Gene Huff reported that a local engineer has offered his services to reassess the sewer needs for the village. He is donating his time and there is no obligation to the village whatsoever. The results should be interesting. A resident lodged a complaint with the board and with Chief Murray against a local under age person for littering and using obscene language. Gordon Sargent, a professional engineer, will be present at the village board meeting, 8 p.m. June 19 to answer questions about septic problems. All residents are urged to attend. TREASURED MEMENTO The following is a letter received by Mrs. Theresa Schultz, dateline Feb. 8, 1968, and will be treasured. It is typical of the thoughtfulness of the man who was so brutally gunned down, last week. "Dear Mrs. Schultz; I want you to know that our family joins me in expressing to you our gratitude for your remembrance of President Kennedy. Your thoughts and prayers continue to mean a great deal to us. Again, our thanks for your thoughtfulness, and warmest regards, Sincerely, Robert F. Kennedy" BOYHOOD CHUMS REUNITE IN VIETNAM "Dear Mom: In your last letter you mentioned Dick Harrison (the son of Evie and Bud Harrison, Pistakee Bay and former residents of the village) being in Chu Lai. Well, the other day while I was on mess duty, I walked in and stood face to face with him! He is stationed about 5 miles from me at the 1st Marine Air Wing. We sat for about an hour and talked about everything and he said he'd try to get back here agaitv- It turned out he had seen an article in the Plaindealer and he couldn't believe that I was here, s from no the electric heating in your home will still be one of the brightest ideas r hsd. \ SivAflS Only an electric heating system will be just as modern in twenty years as today. It will probably outlast your mortgage. (No other heating system can make that statement.) Electric heat has other things going for it, too. Like flexibility, cleanliness, economy of installation, silence, trouble-free operation, odorlessness, and five different types of systems to choose from. All of which adds up to keeping your home bright and modem for many years to come. And electricity is making it possible. Check into electric heat... the modern heat. For further information call our nearest office. Commonwealth Edison Company new ideas ctric. he came to find out." See, (U everybody reads your column. XThanks for those kind words, son.) Love, Jeff" We just had to share this great news with all our friends. J.R.'s morale is very high and for this we are extremely grateful. His letters take about a week, which we feel is marvelous service on the part of our postal system. We sincerely hope that many of your GIs will meet buddies whom they know. It is a rewarding experience for them. We also hope that families of servicemen and women will remember them with subs c riptions to the Plaindealer.
