Local government, in thiscase our village government, needs the support of all its residents. In the past the meetings have been very poorly attended. It's a fact, if we do not go to any of the meetings there is no way to 4cnow what's happening, is there? If there is something on your mind about the various laws, or if there should be something you would like to see done or improved, go to the meeting and make your wants known, who knows what might happen. Get involved, that's what it's all about. The board of trustees meets on the second and fourth Monday of every month, at 8 in the evening at the beach house. LADIES OF THE LAKE This fine club meets oiji the second Thursday ot jgvery month, at ' the beach-house, timl; is 8 in the evening. They do have loads of fun at their meetings, plus play* a few games. Just ask any member. In fact attend one of the meetings, all the women are friendly and enjoy meeting new people. The meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month. The next meeting will be Thursday, Jan. 11. VILLAGE NEWS I don't guess this next bit of news will come as a surprise to anyone, but winter isn't over yet. Please remember to park your car or truck at least 18 ill. from the improved roadway,' when the snow plow goes through the village. So sorry to say that the plow cannot avoid piling snow in front of driveways or mail-boxes. I am sure everyone understands why. Wish they could though, no one likes to shovel all that snow. I have received many calls from mothers of school children, asking me to please ask drivers to slow down when children are on their way to the bus stops. The speed limits in the village are well posted, so please drivers, we love our children, slow down. Now on the other side. I have been asked to make a plea to the parents. It seems as though some youngsters are using the streets for sledding, after dark. They are almost impossible to see, and on the icy roads it could be impossible to avoid a sledder. Caution your youngsters against this dangerous practice, please. VILLAGE ELECTION There are four positions to be filled on the village board of trustees. Any man or woman in the village, who is a registered voter is eligible to run for these positions. UOjjg AID TO THE BUNDfi.

"Ang" Marcheschi, 7943 North Nora avenue Niles, state chairman of Lions Candy for the Blind held on Oct. 6, said "I'm projecting a goal of $850,000 in gross collections from the one- day Candy Day campaign based on club reports received to date and the canvass of clubs that have not filed as yet." In spite of the inclement weather, the Lions and volunteer workers were en­ thusiastically working the street corners, highways,by­ ways and public buildings, giving away candy rolls in exchange for contributions. Marcheschi further said, "A record three million candy rolls were given away in the recent state-wide campaign". Marcheschi stated that the Lions are expanding their program of building a bigger world for the blind. He ex­ plained, "We Jiave budgeted $175,000 to each of the two primary projects - Hadley School for the Blind, Winnetka, HI., and Leader Dog School for the Blind Training Center Rochester, 1V1 has been allfll Lions state a| Dialogue, "av R&sorded Magazine for the Blind; Illinois Camp Lions for Visually Handicapped Children; und the Lions Mobile Glaucoma Screening Unit, operated by the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. The balance of $250,000 will be driectec^toward various local aid programs for the visually handicapped. This ai& will include braillers, tape recor­ ders, typewriters, tran- ^ Dialog sportation, eye glasses and estinfa many other services not available from any other source. Community Sight Conservation programs will be carried on by the Lions clubs to include screening programs, eye surgery, and eye safety". Marcheschi stated it costs $2,500 to train a Leader Dog and master. The cost per course at the Hadley school is $200, with each of the 3,000 students enrolled world-wide carrying an average work load of five courses.

The cost of staffing ------------------• County Invelsts $172,076 For E And H Bonds \,McHenry county residents purchased a total $172,076 in Series E and H United States Savings bonds in the month of November, according to Donald J. Still, Woodstock, volunteer county chairman of the Savings Bonds committee. Sales in the state of Illinois were up 14.9 percent for a total of $33,413,047 in the month of November, according to Clarence S. Sochowski, north central regional director of the Treasury's Savings Bonds division. Sales in the state were $378,048,628 in the first eleven months. As of Nov. 30, 107.7 percent of the state's 1972 quota of $351,100,000 has been reached. Illinois sales reported 6.1 percent of the national total of $545,000,000 and the dollar amount outstanding in Series E, H and freedom share holdings is over $57.8 billion. and operating the Lions Mobile Glaucoma Screening unit is $350 per day. Last year rr^re than 50,000 persons were tested in the mobile unit. Of these, 350 were found to have glaucoma in varying degrees of severity, and another 10,000 persons failed to pass the visual acuity test as prescribed by the Illinois Secretary of State to obtain a driver's license. It is difficult to determine the exact number of Dialogue readers, as more than one person reads each issue of ue. However it is ated that Dialogue provides more than 10,000 visually handicapped many relaxing and informative hours of reading pleasure. The Lions are becoming increasingly involved in eye research programs at the Univiversity of Illinois Department of /Ophthalmology. By the year 1975, it is projected that diabetic retinopathy will become the leading cause of blindness, and the Lions are looking forward to working with the University in meeting the challenge of preventing those afflicted with diabetes from becoming blind.

As you bundle up more and brace for the biting cold and the blowing snow, think ahead about cold-weather driving practices. Th Insurance Information institute offers the following suggestions for a safer motoring winter for midwest residents - better car care and more careful driving might cut down on not only the death toll but injuries and property damage as well. To begin with, safety starts with the equipment. Items to check periodically include brakes, snow tires (or, if you live in a rural area, chains), radiator antifreeze, wiper blades, windshield washer solvent, ignition system, battery and cable contacts, lights, heater and radiator hose. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks. Consider carrying in the car a snow brush, ice scraper, battery booster cables, a short- handled shovel, a bag of sand or rock salt and some flares. If you get stuck in the snow, tire traction can be improved by letting four or five pounds of air out of the rear tires; but inflate them again to normal pressure after you get out so the sidewalls are not damaged by under-inflation. Icing in the fuel line can be reduced by keeping the gas tank full. % The best winter accident prevention plan is to stay off the roads. If at all possible, ijse public transportation. If you must drive, the In­ stitute points out, be wary of bridges. Ice forms sooner on them than on the road surface. Intersections are made slick, also, by continual stopping and starting. Adjust your speed to con­ ditions. Remember that, at 20 m.p.h., it can take four times the distance to stop on loosely packed snow as on dry pavement, and eight times the distance on glare ice. For slowing down, apply gentle pressure on the brake pedal. If you must stop fast, "pump" the brakes -- on and off - so the front wheels can continue to turn. If your car skids, take your foot off the gas and turn your wheels in the direction in which the rear of the car is skidding. Reduced visibility requires that you be alert for other vehicles and pedestrians as well. People, especially youngsters, often walk in the street when sidewalks and road sh6uiders are covered with yiow and ice. / To see and be seen better, vkeep headlights and taillights clean. Remove snow and ice from all windows before you drive. Use your defroster to keep moisture from forming on thKinside surfaces of windows. Wipe off both the outside and inside mirrors occasionally. When driving in fog, sleet or heavy snow, use your low-beam headlights to reduce glare. If you drive cautiously and slowly during our Midwestern winter, you will do your part to cut down on loss of life, limb and property; but, concludes the Institute, you will also help to keep auto insurance rates as reasonable as possible. 1220 O N Y O U R D I A L SEND I0R YOUR A I FREE CATALOG I A Top Rock Soul S3.95 Pop- Jazz Party Specials Each Country-etc. • Catalog supply Twin Pack is Limited CK QK Send Today To: ••.33 SARA LYNN'S GIFTS-C2 1208 W. 0AKLEAF McHENRY, ILL. 60050 or Phone: 815-385-5559 8 Track Stereo Tapes Blood Rock-Doors- Guess Who- Chicago Led Zepplin-R.
