A . \ PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1973 West Shore Beach CONNIE SCHMIDT 385-7841 NIPC Endorses Big Demonstration Project Property Owners Plan Association Meeting April 14 This Saturday at 4:30 p.m. the West Shore Beach Property Owners will meet to discuss our subdivision's business. Mainly the problem has been a great lack of attendance and par­ ticipation. Much help is needed for upcoming road repairs and drainage control. It cannot be stressed enough that a com­ munity is only as good as its residents make it. Let's leave excuses behind and make arrangements to have a representative of your family to attend the meeting. Association news is always posted at three spots in the subdivision, at the beach, at the school shelter, and at the sign on Westshore Drive. It has been brought to my attention that some reckless driver or vandals have knocked down the Westshore sign post. Anyone involved in defacing com­ munity property is asked to please remedy any damages immediately. This will help to prevent any charges or authoritative actions to be taken. Also, with the fishing season now coming into full swing many residents will be using the lake frontage at our beach. Everyone is asked to avoid driving onto beach property to disembark boats in the water. Please park on the road nearby to avoid making large ruts with cars and trucks. The association meeting place will be at 5412 W. Or- chardway drive, the home of Bill and Helen Mohlman.v Your presence is greatly needed. Let your voice be heard. Come April 14 at 4:30 p.m.! WOMEN'S AUXILIARY Much progress has been made on our bottle and can collection last month. Many ladies have sacrificed their time to save and collect for our fund raising project. We have also begun to collect at the McHenry Market Place on the last Saturday of the month. Anyone interested in helping on April 28 is asked to contact me. We will be especially needing some man-power in addition to volunteer workers for the day. Our success depends on you, please try to help us. The Women's auxiliary met the first Thursday of the month of April at the home of Katherine Marich. Those ladies who turned out included: Marie Wegner, Martha Dignan, Grace Latimer, Ann Garrelts, Stella Giest, Virginia Scharlow, Erna Piatt, Lucille Nelson, Greta Gieske, Dolores Jaburekf Terry Brodin, Pat Hartmann,' and Connie Schmidt. Lorraine Hagen stopped by to say Hi. Motions were made and passed to buy sand for the beach and garbage cans for the bottle and can collection. Also it was mentioned to begin saving old clothes and things for the rummage sale. Ladies of the auxiliary will be going door to door to gather your articles later in the month or early in May depending on the exact date set at the next Property Owners Association meeting. We all enjoyed the evening's entertainment with Marie Wegner as the lead lady. Ann Garrelts happily received the night's attendance award. Our next month's meeting will be at Lorraine Hagen's home. We would like to extend a personal invitation to every lady in our subdivision to at­ tend in May. Mark the first Thursday on your calendar now. You are all welcome!

Extended get-well wishes to Virginia Po^thuma confined to the hospTRrtr The Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) last week endorsed a $1 million demonstration project that could lead to a public tran­ sportation system for 'the region's elderly and han­ dicapped. The project application, submitted by the^ Chicago Department of Public Works, seeks two-thirds federal fun­ ding, or $700,000, from the U.S. Department of Tran­ sportation's Urban Mass Transportation administration The two-phase planning and demonstration proposal is intended to lead to the development and im" plementation of a specialized transit system for Chicago s mobility limited residents. It is hoped the project can even­ tually be expanded to include the entire eight-county metropolitan region, including Lake and Porter counties in Indiana. A six-month planning study is to put specifications on a physical system and method of operation. These will be turned over to the Chicago Transit Authority for an 18-month demonstration project in the four adjacent Chicago neigh­ borhoods of Uptown, Lakeview, Lincoln Park and Near North. In this 14-square-mile area, 13 percent of 53,S15 people, are age 65 or over. Its estimated handicapped population is between 12,000 and 25,000. One fourth of the elderly are below the poverty level and one half of the disabled are unemployed. Transportation for the elderly and handicapped has long been a NIPC concern. A specialized transit system is seen as essential for these citizens' independence, in­ tegration into society and opportunity for education and employment. NIPC hopes to initiate in the coming months a region-wide study of the\ public tran­ sportation needs for the elderly and handicapped. In favorably reviewing Chicago's grant request, commissioners asked the city to make its experience and data available as a prototype for other com­ munities in the region. Commissioners found the project to be a major step in meeting stipulations of the 1964 Urban Mass Transportation act. The act calls for provisions for moving the elderly and disabled in all capital im­ provement applications. Thomas Trendler Receives l$U Assistanship Thomas Trendler, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Trendler of 1012 W. River Terrace, McHenry, was among the eighty un­ dergraduate students at Illinois State university who began receiving college teaching experience recently. Trendler, who is majoring in Business Administration, was appointed a teaching assistantship in that department. According to Dr. Stanley Rives, dean of undergraduate instruction at ISU, the eighty students will serve in various capacities in the different departments in which they will r\ work. He said the primary intent is to reduce the im- j personal nature of large section j classes that contain as many as t several hundred students. A full time undergraduate i teaching aide receives $450 a ' semester, three hours credit in a 300-level course and works up ^ to ten hours a week. Dr. Rives i * pointed out, however, that r some will work only part time, allowing for more assistanships than the sixty originally planned for. The echidna, a native of Australia, lays eggs, but suckels its young. IN HONOR SOCIETY Rosemarie Thelen of 313 W. Ringwood road, McHenry, was inducted into Purdue University's chapter of Phi Kappa Phi honor society in ceremonies held at Purdue Memorial union recently. She was among some 300 persons who were named new members which included juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates. Speaker for the ceremonies was Provost H.F. Robinson.
