Defenders Report r Mosquito Program Wasted Tax Money Where did all the mosquitoes go? What happened to the bumper crop predicted for this summer, which was to result from the egg-laying of the huge populations of 1972? In ' McHenry County, only oc­ casional minor nuisance problems were reported. To find out whether this welcome state of affairs was due to mosquito control programs, or whether it was because the past summer was unusually dry, the committee of the McHenry County Defenders which has been studying the mosquito problem, made a survey of several municipalities in late September. Carolina Elliott, a member of the committee, recently reported the results of that survey. It was found that Woodstock conducted a program including Grand opening of The Fashion Shoppe at Front street in the Lee and Ray building will be held Saturday, Oct. 26. The police department and a special committee are working on the question of providing another squad car in .the city. An illness of several months ended in death Oct. 19 of Mrs. Paula Barbier of Front street. Dr. and Mrs. John T.

He is president of the Wonder Lake club. residential fogging, spraying of catch basins, treatment of ponds and flooded areas with granular larvicides, and in­ troduction of the larvae-eating Gambuzia minnow, for a total cost of nearly $10,000. There was no serious mosquito problem in Woodstock. Crystal Lake conducted a different program. Light traps, which wdre monitored by the County Board of Health, were used to determine the need for residential spraying. The count at no time during the summer reached nuisance numbers, so no fogging was done. Catch basins and flooded areas were treated against larvae,,*and Gambuzia minnows were in­ troduced, for a cost of around $1,800. There was no serious mosquito problem in Crystal Lake. McHenry's program was similar to Woodstock's, in­ cluding residential fogging, at a cost of over $8,000. There was no serious mosquito problem in McHenry. Harvard had no mosquito control program, other than keeping weeds cut, so no money was spent. There was no serious mosquito problem in Harvard. On questioning citizens living in areas outside municipalities, where no control programs were conducted, it was found that the mosquito problem, if any, was minor and short-lived. The conclusions drawn by the Defenders' committee as reported by Mrs. Elliott are that residential fogging was a waste of taxpayers' money and Legal Notice STATE OF ILLINOIS ) )SS COUNTY OF McHENRY ) IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 19TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS SAVE*O THIS THURSDAY, EBIINAV m CATIIBOAV FRIDAY * SATURDAY OO PER GALLON ON VINYL Acpruc LATEX CXTKRIOR HOUSE PAIHT SAVE •2°° ON IVIRY GALLON!

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WOODSTOCK INDUSTRY IN THE CLASSROOM - Mr. Weichle's fifth grade class at Edgebrook is shown displaying proudly the pencil holders they manufactured in their classroom. The students rearranged their desks to form an assembly line, and working with tin cans, glue, and colored paper, actually produced the pencil holders. Each person had one task to do on each item. This activity was part of the Production and Marketing of Goods lesson which they are currently studying. The following day the class toured the Admiral company to see a real production line in progress. Mr . Strand was a gracious host, explaining all phases of the operations. It was a profitable week for the students as they learned to manage their finances - they "bought" all their books, supplies, and material and, in turn, were "paid" upon completion of assignments,as well as receiving an hourly rate of "pay" for working on the assembly line. ipvK SHOP EARLY AND SAVE SNOW & COLD WEATHER IS ON ITS WAY MENS - WOMENS - CHILDREN SNOW & WORK BOOTS WATER PROOF & FASHION 20% OFF ENTIRE SELECTION MENS - WOMENS - CHILDRENS WINTER COATS SNOW SUITS & SKI JACKETS 20% OFF ENTIRE SIZE RANGE *10 Gift no Gift Certificate TO THE FIRST 20 APPROVED CHARGE te APPLICANTS WITH GLADSTONES CHARGE HAVE EXTRA BUYING POWER THIS CHRISTMAS THURSDAY - FRIDAY - SATURDAY • SUNDAY NEW HOURS: SUN 9-2, ^URS A SAT 9-6, FRI 9-9 LBDSTDNE TTT 1219 North Green St. Phone 385-0182 McHenry, Illinois r x
