The three excited females left last week to join their dad and husband who is presently serving his country in the Army. A first plane ride and a happy reunion just add to the joy of the nine hour flight. Their new home is now in Op- penheim, Germany, where they will be living for the next nine months. Everyone from West Shore Beach extends their warm wishes to Mike, LaVonne and family for their new life together.

We're sure they will have many great things to tell us when they return. MUSIC MAKERS Young men and women from our subdivision participated in the grade school band and choral festival at West Cam­ pus. Those singing in the choir were: Dawn Latimer, Kathy Latimer, Lorie Latimer, Karen Mason and Barbara Truzowski. Playing in the band were: Dawn Jaburek, Charlynda Johnson and Danny Russell. It was a fantastic showing of talents from our area and the parents listened with much interest. Good work kids! OPEN CREEK Many have expressed dismay at a big problem that can only be solved by the residents of our subdivision. The property owners have tried to / make others aware of the debris blocking the drainage channel to McCullom Lake. Youngsters can be found using the creek for play and residents using it for a garbage dump. Can something be done if your backyard borders the creek? Please open your drainage and make a clear passage for the water. The ditching that was done will aid in a better flow of the water and help to eliminate un­ necessary flooding.

In the age 4 and under group, Todd Mayfield, a very authentic looking clown, •won first prize for the most original costume. Susie Gleeson, in the same age category, was also a winner. She was the cute little clown, who shared second place for the most unusual costume. Apologies to Todd and Susie. Don't know how I could have missed them, when they both looked so nice.

President Barbara Reiter says the postponement was due to the possibility of there being no heat in the building on the eighth. TWO HAPPY GIRLS Denise Suchor, who broke both her arms, when she fell from a swing over two months ago, finally had her casts removed, last week. She had gradually gotten used to the casts and was able to do everything for herself. But now they're off, and though her arms are still a little sore, Denise is mighty grateful. Denise's sister, Deborah, an eighth grader at Montini has reason to be happy too. She's looking forward to next sum­ mer, when she'll take a 21 day 385-8543 WARING CONCERT For 57 years someone, somewhere, has been writing about Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians.

Gas heaters will be installed, as soon as they arrive, which should be within the next few weeks. Volunteer workers are still needed to help on weekends. DOGS RUNNING LOOSE There has been a problem with dogs running loose in the village, knocking over garbage cans and destroying property. Residents are reminded that dogs must be leashed when let outside, if they're not fenced in. Also, all dogs must have rabies shots by the age of six months. This applies to dogs which are kept inside, as well as outside dogs. BEACH GALS MEETING Award winners from the recent fund raising project were chosen at the Nov. 7 meeting of the Beach Gals.

Comprehensive Health Planning Agency for McHenry County, at a recent meeting of its board of directors, has filled four vacancies which have existed on its board for several months. John Garrett, Crystal Lake, president of CHPA, has long been concerned about the vacancies which occurred due to the resignations of four members. "Filling these vacancies has not been an easy task," Mrs. Garrett said, "since it was necessary to locate people with two special attributes: they must be interested in the field of health and they must satisfy the criteria set down by legislation regarding Provider- Consumer balance on the board. "We feel we have found four people who qualify in every respect". Elected for a one-year term, and representing the Consumer segment of the county, was Mrs. JoAnne Wujcik of Crystal Lake. Mrs. Wujcik's husband, Anthony, who is the Mayor of Legislation Seeks Election Consolidation Legislation to save millions of dollars in election costs by consolidating county board elections with regular general elections has been introduced in the Illinois General Assembly by State Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary. The bills would permit county boards in downstate counties to change the date of their elec­ tion from the first Tuesday in April to the date of the November general election in even numbered years. They also provide for changes in filing times for nominating petitions and require the selection of candidates in a primary election when the new system is used. Schaffer said that by opting for the general election date, each county could realize a saving of thousands of dollars that otherwise would have to be spent conducting special county board elections in the spring. At the same time, he said, it leaves open the option for the April election to be retained in counties where it is preferred. PAGE » PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1973 group in February, 1974.
