West Shore Beach CONNIE SCHMIDT 385-7841 Owners Lack Interest In Association Did you attend the West Shore Beach Property Owners Association meeting? par ticipation has been a major problem for many years in our subdivision. Yet one always hears complaints that nothing is being done and that nobody is taking care of the roads. Were you there to find out why or to help? Apathy seems to be the general trend today as is evident in our lack of com munity concern. You're letting the other residents do the work while you reap the harvests. How can a few people take the place of a majority of resident? If you don't like what is being done, please come and voice your opinions. Too many of us just do not want to take the time to become involved.. The fourteen people who attended the meeting are doing the job for the rest of you. Make an effort for one Saturday a month. We all need your arguments to liven up our meetings. DISCUSSION OF ASSOCIATION MEETING Recently, the McHenry County Department of Health mailed letters to residents concerning pet owners. Try to comply by getting rabies shots for your dog and by confining him to your home. An incident not long ago in our subdivision left tooth marks on a 7 year old boy. In addition, much talk was given to the bad roads. Each year we spend a major portion of our funds on road repair. Boyd Knaack will contact a sand and gravel company for stone. Also, a road work crew was formed to make minor repairs in the future. It will be headed by Bill Moore and backed up by Jack Bielaga, Budd Kidd and Fred Schmidt. Work on culvert opening was briefly mentioned along with the water drainage problem. At the next meeting those people involved by adjoining property should be present to express their ideas. This problem still needs to be resolved. Next, it was told that Bill Mohlman sent a letter to the State's Attorney concerning the abandoned buildings plaguing our subdivision. BOTTLE AND CAN COLLECTION The Women's auxiliary of West Shore Beach has begun an environmental and fund raising project. Those members who are in charge of specific road collection are as follows: Cleveland - Martha Dignam, Alton - Greta Gieske, West Shore - Terry Brodin, Euclid and Orchardway - Dolores Jaburek, Hillside and Highland - Connie Schmidt, Woodland - Doris Moore. Contact these ladies to gather your bottles and cans. Remember all^ottles whether white, green or brown, must have the labels removed. The tin cans should be cleaned, labels removed, and ends crushed inside the can. We would greatly appreciate your cooperation and help. Truly it is a worthy cause as well as a way to help make extra money for the roads or beach sand. Thursday is a good day to put them out for pick up as you can easily remember when all garbage should be placed outside. Make arrangements with your collection lady what is the most convenient for you. March 31 will be the tentative date for trucking to the recycling station. NEWCOMERS Several new residents have moved into our subdivision since the start of the new year. We hope they can join us in our company and friendships. We all give a warm welcome to Kathy and A1 Clark now residing at 5508 Euclid. Also on the same street say hello to the Trainees Of Goodwill In Outside Jobs "During the past twelve months, fifty-five trainees in the Goodwill Industries program were assisted in finding outside employment," according to Jack Rundquist, placement and personnel director. These fifty-five clients are now doing janitor jobs in hotels, dish washing in restaurants, retail work, clerical help in credit departments, "stock clerks in grocery stores, cleaning in motels, helping the aged in nursing homes, working in the paint depart ments, production line work, janitor work in factories and two are employed in a bottling plant. ^ Rundquist reported that when the clients reach a certain peak in production, they are given an orientation course in applying for work through I.S.E.S. and then some ad ditional training before they are referred to a potential employer. Goodwill keeps a file of possible employers and also a complete record on the clients to aid in placement. Rundquist reported that the placement service is the core of the Goodwill program since it is used as a key motivational factor during the training period. "Goodwill is much more than a sheltered workshop where the disabled do 'made work' " Rundquist continued. The total service for the past twelve months involved 351 people. % ON CRUISE - A week long cruise to Cap Haitlen, San Juan, St. Thomas and Nassau was part of a recent Florida vacation for Jeff and Rocky Franti of McHenry. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeooq -Open To The Public- mcHenry COUNTRY CLUB 820 N.

Kite Flying Season Begins Spring and the kite flying season are about to begin. "Young people should know and observe the rules of the sport," said Elliot, area manager of Edison's North Shore headquarters. These are the guidelines for safe kite flying: 1. Ordinary kite string is a must; never substitute wire. 2. Kites should be flown in open areas away from traffic, overhead lines and trees. 3. If a kite gets hung up on a tree or on a line, do not go after it. You could be out for the season if you fall from a tree and break an arm or leg. 4. Rain and lightning are dangerous to kite-fliers. Go indoors at the first sign of a storm. 5. Make a tail for the kite out of old pieces of cloth. Never use anything metallic. "Ask your friends if they know the rules for safe kite flying," Elliot says to youngster. "Help them out if they can't remember all five." Set-Aside Provisions Cited By ASC Chairman PAGE 5-PLAIN DEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1973 Producers signing up for set- aside acreage under the feed grain and wheat programs may elect to use their set-aside land for livestock forage or for approved alternate crops, with a reduction in program paymens, reports Joe Getty, chairman of the McHenry C o u n t y A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. A full understanding of provisions governing set-aside land is essential, and producers should check with the ASCS county office about any details they are not sure of. Basic provisions governing all set-aside acreage is that it must be land suitable for crop production with a potential equal to the average produc tivity of the farm. "This provision on the quality of set-aside land applies across the board--whether the farmer plans to hay or graze the set- aside, plant an alternate crop on it, or keep it idle," Getty said. "If the set-aside acreage is found to be of lower average productivity than the average of cropland on the farm, then the program payments will be based on the potential yield of the set-aside land and not on the established yield for the farm. "Producers should also know there is a minimum size and width rule for areas designated as set-aside. Generally, a set aside area which is less than an entire field must be at least five acres in size, with a minimum width of 132 feet. "This is a general rule, and some exceptions have been stipulated," the ASC com mittee chairman said. Full details are available at the ASCS county office. A set-aside inspection and measurement service is available at cost from the ASCS county office. This service can insure a producer that his designated set-aside is acceptable and in compliance with program requirements. Turning to the provision, new for 1973, which permits haying and grazing on set-aside acreage, Getty said the single most important item for a producer to remember is that the ASCS county office must be notified before haying or grazing is begun on set-aside acreage. The conserving use requirement continues for set- aside land even though the land is used for grazing or haying. This means that crops DANS V? & !iii III 'Base Optional At Extra Cost NEW 1973 COMPACT BLACK & WHITE PORTABLE TV ^^0088 Th« DISCOVERER • D133S FEATURING SOLID-STATE MODULES Portable TV designed with today's decorator touch ... a masterpiece in clean, modern design.

Green Si 385-5500 McHenry ineligible for grazing or haying include soybeans, grain sorghums, corn, sweet sorghums for silage, and matured small grain. Producers may sublet grazing, haying, or silage rights on their farms' set-aside acreage, but this does not relieve them of payment reductions or responsibility for f o l l o w i n g p r o g r a m requirements. Also by taking a reduction payment, producers may grow the following crops on set-aside land: castor beans, crambe, guar, mustard seed, plantago ovato, safflower, sesame, and sunflower. Paymnet reduction for grazing, haying, cutting silage, or growing these alternate crops will be 30 percent of the average payment rate per acre of set-aside under the basic feed grain plan, whether the set-aside is under the feed grain or the wheat program.
