McHenry Shores Mrs. Rose Lillegard Couple Will Observe 50th Anniversary Mr. >and Mrs. John W. Et- chingham of McHenry Shores will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. Fifty years ago, on Feb. 13, 1925, John and Viola pronounced their vows. They are the proud parents of three sons, Robert, Gerald and John, and six grandchildren. There will be a celebration at the John Et- chingham Jr., home in Schaumburg, given by their three sons. John and Viola came to McHenry Shores in 1965 after John retired from the Chicago Fire department. Previously they lived in Palatine for seventeen years and prior to that, Chicago. The Et- chinghams joined the lovely sport of square dancing which they find most enjoyable and rewarding. I know that all of their neighbors and friends extend congratulations on such a joyous occasion. DONATE TO FISH Chris and Charlene Norman, who are members of Brownie Troop 415, McHenry, recently collected canned goods as a Brownie troop project. The collection will be donated to FISH. Some sixty cans were collected from the Shores. BIRTHDAYS At the Zeimet residence there were two birthdays celebrated this past week Julie Zeimet and Sam Zeimet celebrated their birthdays the same day, Jan. 26. Although they would not teH me their ages, I managed to find out that their birthdays were two years apart. Stephanie Korczyk celebrated her birthday Friday, Jan. 31. When I asked Stephanie her age, the reply was 38. Our best to you all and many, many more. CLUB CHANGES NAME At the last meeting of the McHenry Shores Social club, one of the points of interest was the changing of the name of the club to the Shoreline Club and its members called the Shoreliners. The meeting nights have also been changed to the third Tuesday of each month. The monthly meetings will be held at the village hall at 7:30 p.m. Their next meeting will be Feb. 18, at which time election of officers will take place for the 1975 calendar year; also the by-laws will be reviewed and up for approval. President Moyer thoroughly reviewed the events of 1974 and proclaimed a bank balance of some $900. The calendar of events for 1975 was discussed and will be narrowed at the 385-7842 next meeting. All residents who are interested in the social events of our community are urged to attend and take part. If you wish to vote for officers in the Shoreline club or be elected, all you have to do is be present at the next business meeting Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. BOARD MEETING The regular board of trustees meeting of the village of McHenry Shores Jan. 23 showed all members present with the exception of Trustee Henderlong, Trustee Sch- weikert and President Bieritz. In the absence of Preisdent Bieritz and President Pro-Tem Schweikert, Trustee Olbinski acted as the president Pro-tem. The 1972 MFT audit was presented and filed as part of the permanent records. The NIPC (Northeastern Illinois Planning commission) resolution pertaining to wastewater treatment was once again presented and was shelved until it could be re written. Three new ordinances were passed. One, number 4.2, no parking on streets after 3 inches of snow fall, was amended to read 1 inch. Others were the water com- j>any franchise and an amendment to ordinance number 1, Administrative code (provides for the creation of the position of deputy building inspector.) Although these ordinances are passed by the board of trustees they do not become law until they are signed by the president of the board. Also to be presented at the next meeting, Feb. 13 will be the ordinances pertaining to village beach hours, disorderly conduct, snowmobile and ATV amendment, vandalisum or dinance and the ordinance to change the name of Idyl Dell road to Bull Valley road. If the proposed ordinances, as mentioned above, are of interest to you, you could be heard at the Feb. 13 meeting. The possibility of purchasing a new police car versus a used car was discussed and a financial study was requested of the police department. Flood insurance was discussed but for the lack of additional printed matter was shelved at this time. A spreader was purchased. for the snow plowing truck to spread ice control materials. Clerk Lillegard made mention that the Nunda township road commissioner had allocated Revenue Sharing funds for the leveling of the hill on Barreville south of Idyl Dell road. This has long been a bad intersection and hopefully in the very near future the problem will be taken care of.

Newspapers, Magazines Bottles, Cans 9 A.M. - 5 P.M Third Saturday Every Month Market Place for information call: 385-8512 Protect Trees From Damage Of Weather Apple, peach, cherry and plum trees frequently suffer from injury to the bark during the ^winter. George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county, says this also applies to many smooth barked ornamental trees. Parts of the tree most vulnerable to winter injury are the trunk itself, crotches, and limbs. Major injury may be caused by hungry rabbits feeding on the trees, especially young ones. You can reduce the problem by using a tree wrap, repellent, or by using screen or hardware cloth collars, around the bases of all the trees. Small animals may eat through tree wrap in severe weather if food is scarce. Another cause of damage is standing water around the base of the fruit trees. The water encourages diseases that may kill the trees, says Young. Younger, newly transplanted trees are more vulnerable than old established trees. Provide good drainage to eliminate the problem. The major cause of winter injury is the extreme tem perature fluctuations. On sunny winter days, the inner bark on fhe southwest side of the tree may be warmed much above the air temperature. Cells in the trunk may actually begin to grow. When the sun sets, the temperatures quickly drop to those of the outside air. The soft cells are frozen and explode. The following summer, the injury becomes apparent as the jjiark splits open. Prevent this type of injury by wrapping the trunk and major branches with burlap or special tree wrapping paper. Remove the wrapping when new growth starts in the spring. Young warns that aluminum foil must not be used because it tran smits the heat. Recent research indicates that painting the vulnerable tree parts with white latex house paint will help keep the bark cooler, reducing or preventing injury. Young cautions that oil-base paint will cause injury to the trees and should not be used. * * * * An apology often follows an epic inward struggle and should always be accepted.
