West Shore Beach Connie Schmidt 385-7841 Remove Parked Cars On Highway For Snowplowing Our first beautiful winter snowstorm has engulfed the subdivision of West Shore Beach. Blowing winds were a great hinderance to snowplowers last week, however, parked cars along roadsides were of even greater significance. It is a subdivision ordinance that all vehicles should be removed far enough from the street to allow the free flow of all traffic. Especially snowplowing is affected at this time and residents are asked to please cooperate. There are some bad hills and many narrow roads where cars are parked on the shoulder. The county sheriff was informed of this hazard and will henceforth place tickets on those cars in question. Try to help our snowplower by making his job just a little easier. We all think he can do a better job if the people of our community will be of assistance. NICE WORK BILL Many community affairs have been completed this year through the determined efforts of our now past president, Bill Mohlman. The necessary sacrifice of his time has helped our community to stay on its way to progress. The concerned peuple have appreciated his nice work and want Bill to know he' fulfilled the office of president very well. Let's also welcome Boyd Knaack who is taking over these respon­ sibilities and back him in the year to come. ASSOCIATION TELLS PROBLEMS The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the McHenry County Board of Health has been contacted by the West Shore Beach Property Owner's Association to in­ vestigate the environments and living conditions of our com­ munity. Inquiries into the legal procedures to correct these situations will be forthcoming. At the meeting of Dec. 8 Helen Mohlman, financial secretary, reported that letters will be sent by Jan. 1. It will include 1972's financial statement and a dues bill that should be paid by March 1. Also brought up was the still existing dog problem. Property owners can legally dispose of any dogs that are found on their property or are causing damage to the property or home. Keep pets in their own yards and chase them down when they do get loose. Proper identification will enable the safe return of your cat or dog.

Green St. FREE GIFT WRAPPING BEEN STREET MALL TIT Unfortunately, retirement is not the storybook ending to a career, with the hero marching off into the sunset. It is an important crossroad and a change in direc­ tion. but it varies from pne in­ dividual to the next. Special care is used by some to prepare for retirement, and when it comes, they are ready. They have financial resources, income and a plan for spending time as well as money. For those who didn't use too much care in plan­ ning or who didn't plan at all, retirement means getting another job to supplement a small retire­ ment pension and Social Security. What makes one retirement more successful than another's? It's really just a matter of plan­ ning It is not something that you plan a month or two before you retire - and then find it hard to live with. A very important item, when possible, is a sys­ tematic program of savings and investments which provide finan­ cial resources or regular income Ask Distribution Firms To Cease Promotions Let's say you are a few years away from retirement and you do not have an adequate pension plan The solution: set up your own "pension plan" for yourself. Set aside as much as you can. If you must make it small, do so. be­ cause whatever you don't need now will be welcome security in the future years. If you can invest, do so. in solid, income producing invest­ ments The nearer you are to re­ tirement. however, the less you should speculate. Try to manage your money with caution, know­ ing that when you retire, you will not be getting your regular pay check If vou're thinking of relocating. don't ^bc in a rush to do so In vestigatc the community care f'lllv Don't purchase a home by telling yourseli tnai you will like the neighborhood or that the price is right. Check these things before making a decision Re member to take your time after all, you'll have plenty of it. The Portuguese explorer Albuquerque developed plans to ruin Egypt by diverting the Nile into the Red Sea. If he had been able to obtain the use of a few modern bulldozers or earthmovers. he might have changed history. Tribute To Americans One of the finest tributes to Americans came recently from Canada, through a radio and TV editorial from Toronto. What Gordon Sinclair said has since been inserted into the Congressional Record. ; . :. • ~ The following are some of the highlights of the editorial: "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser amount Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. "When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries in to help . . . This spring, 59 American com­ munities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.. ."I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes . . . "Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? . . ."You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles . . .-You talk about American technocracy, and you. find men on the moon--not once but several times--and safely home again. You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. "When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. "I can name you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? Our neigh­ bors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tir^d of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thiog~with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles/ "I hope Canada is not one of these. --LET'S HEAR IT! FOR US." u Two state officials have announced they have made a "strong request" that all electrical and natural gas distribution companies in Illinois cease any promotional programs or advertising which encourage greater use of energy. The officials, Marvin S. Lieberman, chairman of the Illinois Commerce com­ mission, and James W. Cook, state fuel energy coordinator, sent the request in telegrams to twenty-three distribution companies. The text of the telegram follows: "The current problems in­ volving adequate supplies of petroleum and natural gas dictate that steps be taken to effect all possible reductions in consumption by the ultimate consumer of the use of natural gas and electric energy for residential, commercial, in­ dustrial, transportation and other uses, consistent with the adequate protection of the public's health, safety and welfare. "Accordingly, we strongly request all electric and gas distribution companies to cease, effective immediately, all promotional programs and advertising designed to en­ courage greater use of gas and electric energy. "The above action is to be taken without regard to the type of fuel used in the production of electric energy in recognition of the fuel problems on a state and national level." For Your Dear Friends, As soon after a funeral as the family's composure returns, proper acknowledgment should be made to those whose gifts and per­ sonal service have meant so much. It is customary to send personal notes to the clergy and to the pallbearers -to those who gave their service, who contributed food, accom­ modations use of cars, etc. - and to those who sent personal sympathy notes.
