PAGE 4 - McHENRY PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20,1974 McCullom --i Lake Gerry Milbratz 385-8543 Need Volunteer Ch ape rones For Community Center Despite repeated requests for chaperones at the community center, the same few people are still doing all the work. Volunteers are needed for Friday nights, also Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Even a couple of hours in the afternoon would be a great help. Chaperones don't have to join in the sports, or organise any games, just be there. The kids are well aware of the regulations, and have been quite good at sticking to them. So, if you're able to spend a couple of hours, once a week, or once a month, qr once in awhile, to stay with the kids, please contact Jerry Raycraft, and let him know when you're available. DOG LICENSE I've just recently been in­ formed that as of Jan. l, 1974, there's been a new procedure in obtaining tags for dogs who've received a rabies shot. When the dog gets his shots, the owners will be given a registration slip, from the veterinarian, to be sent in to the county. The rabies tag, with a registration number, will then be mailed to the owner, from the county. This numbered tag, with a registration number, will then be mailed to the owner, from the county. This numbered tag, must be presented to the village clerk, when purchasing a dog license. A registration slip, without a number, will not be accepted. This applies only to dogs, who got their shots after the first of the year, since before that time numbered registration slips and tags were given to owners, at the same time their dogs received the shots. The due date for purchasing a dog license remains the same, March 31. PERSONALS 10 month old Jacques Rowe, the son of Alan and Lolly Rowe, has been a sick little boy lately. ^ He was in the hospital for a while, with complications following a throat infection, but is home, now. Hope it won't be long before Jacques is com­ pletely well, again. Pattie Wolf, age 4, is ill, and presently a patient at McHenry hospital. A speedy recovery is wished for Pattie. Hoping Mr. Piotrowski of W. McCullom Lake road, who recently returned home from a stay in the hospital, due to illness, is feeling better now. STARTING A TEAM If enough 8 to 12 year #ld boys are interested, Ed Caron is willing to start up a basketball or volleyball team. Games and practice would be Saturday mornings at the community center, exact time as yet un­ determined. Whether the game will be basketball or volleyball depends on which is most preferred. All boys from ages 8 through 12 who'd like to join are asked to call Mr. Caron at his home. AN AUCTION A new venture for the Beach Gals is the auction they're planning for March, 30, to be held in conjunction with their spring bake sale. Donations will be greatly appreciated. For the auction, the Gals will accepttqew, or used, but usable, items (excepting clothes) such as books, appliances, tools, furniture, knickknacks, etc. Now"s a good chance to get rid of things which are no longer needed, but still usable. Anyone wishing to donate something, can call Jackie Raycraft, who will arrange for pickup. CELEBRITY 11 year old Billy Milbratz of W. Parkview was surprised and excited to learn his card had been drawn on "Bozo Circus, Grand Prize Game". Billy was in school at the time, and heard the good news when he got home. He won some nice prizes which will be mailed to his home. Congratulations to Billy. I'm sure his success won't change him, and he'll remain the sweet, charming kid he's always been. ANNIVERSARIES Special good wishes go to Otto and Emma Pyritz who will be married 56 years Feb. 20. Jake and Eve Levesque celebrate their wedding an­ niversary Feb. 24, and Feb. 25, is Mr. and # Mrs. Karls an­ niversary date. A happy an­ niversary to all of you. BELATED BIRTHDAY OUTING Because she was sick with the flu, on her birthday, Feb. 6, Maureen Caron missed out on a birthday party. To make up for it, Maureen's mom took her and some of her friends to the roller rink, Saturday. Besides Maureen, there were Laura Huff, Patty Cunningham, Mary Branham, Pam Reinholm and Brenda Thorsen. The girls enjoyed skating as much, maybe even more than a party.

There must be a moral to this story, "Always be sure to have money and-or a check book (with blank checks). "Never be careless or forgetful. "Always pay your debts or be responsible for having a man lose faith in his fellow man. "Never lose faith in your fellowman. "I can't help wondering if there would have been a story a year ago or so when we were given drinking glasses West Shore Beach. Connie Schmidt ^ 385-7841 GASOLINE PROBLEMS "Editor: "On the way to work our gas gauge read one-quarter full - enough to get to McHenry and home. We realized we would have to buy gas this morning since the stations would be closed before day's end. "After dropping my husband off (we have had our own car pool for years) I drove back to McHenry (3 miles) to a gas station and^hile waiting in line I found to my horror my check­ book was empty as well as my wallet. After explaining my predicament to the attendant, offering to leave my driver's license as security, I promised to return the next day with the money. "He agreed to give me the gas if I returned before he closed that day at 10:30. Ex­ plaining I would be at work until 3:30 he refused to give me the gas since "a woman has owed me $40 for one year". "I thanked him and left, feeling desperate and helpless. "The station we usually trade with had opened by now. The ACCIDENTS Crotches, casts and slings seem to be "in fashion" around thfe village this winter. Latest to join the group is Jeanette Strauman, who injured her foot, when it got caught in the runner of a snowmobile. Jeanette was taken to the hospital for x-rays, and tho' no bones were broken, she's got to use crutches to keep off her foot for a while. Just a few weeks ago, here dad, Les, hurt his shoulder quite badly when he fell off a snowmobile. BIRTHDAYS Belated best Wishes to Jackie Raycraft whose birthday was Feb. 2. This week Rose Ilick has a birthday, Feb. 22. And on Feb. 26, both Mayda Shigley, and Esther Anderson celebrate their birthdays. May you all have a happy day. MYSTERY MESSAGE J.R.'s fingers are crossed in hopes that S.M. won't catch the chicken pox. various shapes and sizes to come buy our gas from the first attendant's station. "Now we can only reminisce and suffer the consequences of our weaknesses, singly and collectively. "M.N. Hedge "Spring Grove" FIRE STORY "Editor: "After reading the heart saddening story of the loss of two businesses in McHenry on Monday - the- loss of *iany years and hours of hard work on their part and then reading about drivers being belligerent about having to walk a few extra steps or drive a few blocks out of their way or just lose an extra few minutes of their time as they could not drive into this one business block. How small and self pitied can anyone be. I guess in one sense we should pity these kind who cannot think of anyone other than himself. "Doing business with both of these stores and knowing Jerry, taking guitar lessons from Bob Vallumstad, it saddens me about their loss. We can only hope that they both find the strength to start over again. We are all pulling for you both. I'm sure I can say this for all - we'll be waiting for you both to re-open. "Georgiana Meyer" Gas Shortage Encourages All To Walk More It's time to remove that heavy layer of fatty tissue stored up from the long holiday season and winter days inside. Be economical too by making df better use of your legs instead THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY Close the gaps and cut your heating cost. Heat escapes your living area and cold outside air enters through openings, big and little. The gap can be as wide as an open front door or as small as a ceiling opening around a light fixture. Whatever the leak, your heat system has to work harder to maintain your desired indoor temperature. Wherever you can close a gap, you save on fuel. Install storm windows or double- pane glass to cut the heat loss through windows. Weather-strip all joints and caulk the frames of windows and doors. Also seal spaces where heated air can escape into the attic. A good fireplace chimney can draw off up to 20 percent of heated air from the house during one hour. Close the chimney damper tightly when it's not in use- And, of course, keep doors to the outside, the garage, and the attic firmly shut. These principles apply essentially to all heating fuels-- electricity, gas, or oil. Further details on these heating hints and others are among the 101 ways to conserve energy at home in our free booklet.

With the energy crisis and gas shortage affecting each individual in the community perhaps a little physical fitness could be the key answer to today's problems. Walking to conserve gas and burn up body calories allows each person the opportunity to save money and to become more healthy. Try taking a walk each day to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood. Or use the shortcut to Lakeland Park and stroll to town for some shopping chores. You'll be doing your pocketbook a favor as well as your heart. If we all begin walking now our summer will shape up even better. ASSOCIATION NOTES x At the Feb. 9 property owners meeting twenty members of the community discussed several issues. Among them was in­ cluded a need for a community lawyer to advise the legal procedure for collecting unpaid dues. Another issue studied was the activities calendar for the year. An organization com­ mittee was formed that in­ cludes: Fred Schmidt, Boyd Knaack, Millie Giddings, Henry Aissen, Sylvia Wasicak, and Bill Mohlman/Jr. A special meeting of the committee will beheld March 6at 7:30 p.m. An iceskating party is being planned for Sunday, March 10, if weather permits. In addition, it wa6 decided that beach sand will be spread on the ice north of the swim­ ming pier to enlarge the bathing area. Lastly, the snowplowing again was reported unsatisfactory by a large number present especially stating mail box clearances and icy hillsides were the main problems. Please feel free to attend your association meetings and let the community know what you think. If you have reason to complain then you have a reason to attend.

Well, the man of the house has been raising pheasants. Two weeks ago it happened again. The dogs killed several of the birds. All of the Garn family were sick at heart both times, it is very sad when things like that happen, especially when people want to own dogs then just let them run loose, not knowing or caring what damage their dogs may be doing. Those people do that for one of two reasons, either they are defiant of every rule and regulation of the community where they live or they just don't give a darn about anyone but themselves.
