CHITTER CHATTER We are all going to miss the Frank Luto family, who have moved from our village. They have moved into a lovely new home and I am sure they are very happy, and in turn we are happy for them How about the crazy weather we are having? But it snowed in San Francisco, on Jan. 26, how about that. Roy and Penny Watson will be arriving in Illinois about Feb 10. It looks as though the Watsons will be grandparents twoce this year. Roy and Penny expect their baby July 4. Penny's parents are the John Donleas of Barrington. Please use caution on the icy roads, especially at the bus stops when the children are present. The roads in the village are well sanded, but there is still the danger of isolated slippery spots. To the new residents of the village Do not put the garbage outdoors in paper bags. The village has an ordinance against this. Although I do not live near the home where this happened. I know I wouldn't like it, please see to it that you get the proper containers soon, keep yourself and your neigh­ bors happy. VILLAGE BOARD The next meeting of the village board of trustees will be Feb. 7, at the beachhouse, the time of the meeting is 8 p.m. Try and make one or more of the meetings, they are very interesting.

The very in­ teresting meetings are held at the beachhouse at 8 o'clock in the evening DOG PROBLEM Someone is letting their dog run loose in the wee hours of the morning. It is not by accident, since it occurs at about the same time every morning. If the dog is caught, it can mean a fine plus a fee to a veterinarian. There have been many com­ plaints about this dog, so please keep the family pet in your own yard. CONDOLENCE Deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Jennie D. Toynton, who passed away at the age of 73, Thursday, Jan. 20, in the McHenry hospital.

IN PASSING Don't fret, spring is not far off. In the meantime remember to feed the birds, they have a hard time finding food in this weather. Are you registered to vote? Voting is a privilege. You can register at the village clerk's office, or in Woodstock. Phone Facts Prove U.S. Is Talking Nation There are more telephones than people in Washington, D.C. (975,000 to 749,000), South- field, Michigan (77,000 to 68,000) and Skokie, 111., (131,270 to 131,000). That's 116.9 phones for every 100 people in Washington; 113.4 phones for each 100 of population in South- field and 100.1 phones per 100 people in the Skokie area. These figures, as of Jan. 1,1971, are included in American Telephone and Telegraph company's "The World's Telephones." The booklet, published annually, is a collection of world-wide telephone statistics compiled by AT&T. The figures lag by a year because it takes almost a full 12 months to gather data from telephone companies and administrations from around the world. Chicago's 3,378,000 residents had 2,358,412 telephones -- 69.8 for every 100 persons. Elsewhere around the state Springfield tecLvvith 85.2, Rock Island had 7C3L Champaign 72.7, Rockford 7^2, Decatur 71.9, Peoria 71.2. \ Americans Jiave more telephones and use thei\more often than anyone else ih the world. When it comes to telephones concentration, however, the United States with 58.34 telephones for every 100 persons takes a back seat to Monaco with 64.98 phones for every 100 Monagasques. The U.S., with 120.2 million phones in service as the year began, had five times as many phones as second-place Japan, which reported 26.2 million. The United Kingdom was third with 15 million. There were 779 local and long distance calls for each man, woman and child in the United States in 1970. Canada, whose supremacy as the most talkative nation went unbroken from 1951 through 1967, ranked . GET WELL Mrs. Evelyn Nichols has been moved from the hospital to the Woodstock Residence. .Mrs. Nichols has been hospitalized since Oct. 14, and I am sure she would welcome cards an|i letters from her friends and neighbors. It is always such a. lonesome time when one has been in the hospital for such a long time. Give Mrs. Nichols' morale a big boost. The address of the Woodstock Residence, is 309 McHenry street, Wood­ stock, 111. 60098. second with 739 conversations per person. Sweden was third with 674 and Iceland fourth with 593. The number of telephones in the world climbed to 272.7 million by Jan. 1, 1971, an in­ crease from the previous year of 17.6 million phones - 4.9 million of which were added in the U.S. The world's annual telephone increase of 6.9 per cent is consistent with the rapid growth pattern set during the past decade. The rate of overseas calling increased markedly. In 1970 there were more than 26 million telephone calls beween the U.S. and nations abroad, over seven times the number completed in 1960. The number of overseas calls, AT&T estimates, will reach 33 million this year, an increase of 27 percent over 1970. Telephone circuits from the U.S. to the rest of the world were expanded by more than 500 percent in the past 10 years. Telephone users in all 50 states now have access to over 97 percent of the world's telephones. E-STAR AWARD Illinois has received the E-, Star award from the U.S.* Department of Commerce. The, award to the state is the highest? that can be given to states and private organizations for outstanding achievements in exporting and international trade. Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie accepted the award from Lawrence A. Fox, deputy assistant secretary of the Department of Commerce for International Economic Policy in ceremonies at the LaSalle hotel in Chicago Jan. 17. Fox noted that "Illinois is the first state to receive the E-Star Award and has continued and expanded its excellent export: promotion programs. Gov. Ogilvie's interest and personal attention to international trade has contributed greatly to the state's efforts." Fox continued. X CRISPIN ELLIOTT The word "principal" has come to mean something very challenging, and at the same time rewarding, to Crispin Elliott, principal at Valley View school. The school says awareness and direction to the multiple activities connected with the respon­ sibility of being principal have received the conscientious at­ tention and concern of this fine young administrator. Cris, as he is affectionately called by his colleagues, is new to District 15, and he is recognized by district educates for his fit.e contribution to the educational program. 13 ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ V ^ • i t i • K t ( I I t I • t K C Are You New In McHenry Area ?
