McHENRY S A V I N G S • ( O A * M I O C U T I O I Holiday Hills Karen Kottke 385-6675 Columnist Turns Reporting Over To Bev Hill After two years of writing this column, I find it in­ creasingly more difficult to perform the functions involved, therefore, I am announcing my retirement. It has been a most interesting and enjoyable two years, especially getting to know the wonderful people in Holiday Hills. This does not mean that Holiday Hills is losing a column, only this columnist, as Bev Hill has volunteered to take over the duties. Bev lives at 1505 Elm Street. She and her husband, Rich, share quarters with their two offspring, Jerry, 8 years old, and Diana, 5 years old. They are also anxiously awaiting the addition of another little Hill in May. The Hills moved to our area from Mundelein about a year ago. We hope everyone will take the opportunity to get to know Bev and furnish her with loads of news. Bev may be reached at 385-5641. Good luck, Bev, I'm sure you'll enjoy this column, as I have. ASSOCIATION MEETING On Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. the Holiday Hills Property Owners Association met to nominate candidates for office in the 1975 election for new board mem-' bers. The meeting was held at the Campbell residence on Driftwood. The minutes from the last general meeting were read and a complete report on the association's treasury was disclosed. One fact that stands out is that out of over 200 homes in this subdivision only 73 are fully paid members of the association. There were several partial payments made and we list 9 senior citizens on our rolls. This is without a doubt a very poor showing for a subdivision of this size. The money is sorely needed and adequately spread (what little there is) above all, to help maintain the school bus routes so we can insure bus service for the youth of our area. The greater part of the meeting was spent nominating a new board. The results are the following: President-Bill Campbell, V-P - Rick Hill and John Drew, Recording Secretary, - Phylis Harper; Treasurer-Lorene Farr and Becky Kline; Corresponding Secretary - Carol Wilson, Bev Hill and Diane Lewandowski; Unit Directors: I-Ken Chappel, II-Jim Coburn; Unit IV-Tim Farr; Unit V-Doug Carroll; Unit Vl-Jim Childs and Bill Bruyn; Directors at Large-Bill Holtz, Jack White, Charlee Guethes, Roger Thietje, and John Schneider. From the slate of candidates, one can see that this meeting was well attended. We also offer a nuniucr oi new names on the roster. We hope this enthusiasm continues in the future. With this interest in the association progress in our subdivision is a reality. As I had not met the deadline for the Friday edition, last week, the election results for the HHPOA are final. Here's the 1975 Board of Directors - President-Bill Campbell; Vice- President-John Drew; Recording Secretary-Phylis Harper; Corresponding Secretary-Diane Lewan­ dowski; Treasurer-Lorene Farr; Sergenat-at-Arms-Marty Lewandowski; Unit Directors: I-Ken Chappel; II-Jim Coburn; IIl\john Foltz; IV-Tim Farr; V-John Carroll; and VI-Bill Bruyn; Directors at Large- Roger Thietje and Jack White. Congratulations and best of luck to all these folks who have volunteered their time and energy for this subdivision for the next year. GET-WELL WISHES This winter has been fraught with troubles for several of our area families. We certainly hope this is the last bad news we hear concerning one such family. After hearing that Judy Jaranski had been rushed to the hospital for a second time, following her month long stay during the Christmas season, we're grateful to hear that she's home and doing well. We have heard through the grapevine that little Cari Jaramski was hit by a car and sustained numerous injuries. Details are few on the incident at this writing, but our best wishes for a speedy recovery follow. 1 BIRTHDAY NOTES We had an exciting birthday party for our four year old, Kristena, on Sunday, Feb. 2. Although her natal day is on the first of February, we postponed the event so our guests could take advantage of the daylight for a few hours of ice skating while the goodies were being prepared. We were joined by grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins totaling about 25. This was a memorable and exciting event for Tena, and hopefully she'll cherish bir­ thday number 4 as one of her favorites. CUB SCOUT NOTES On Jan. 22, the McHenry Cub pack held a derby race contest. Johnny Wegener placed first for his pack with the rocket he fashioned out of balsa wood. The finalists were pitted against other packs, un­ fortunately, Johnny didn't place. Johnny is still very proud of his accomplishment with his rocket. Good work John!

ASKS FOR VISITORS Mrs. Jeffers called me from the hospital to ask anyone from the village to come to visit her or send a card. She is very lonesome. She expects to be home soon but informed me she would have a long stay at home too, so she would like some company. She lives at 4017 Wilmot.

Harper college is located at Roselle and Algonquin roads in Palatine, rz BLUE-GOLD DINNER February marks the forty- fifth anniversary for Cub Scouts. Also, this Valentine month means Blue and Gold banquets are being held. For Cub Pack 452 many long, tiring, and happy hours went into organizing the 1 p.m. dinner Feb. 16 at Obies restaurant in Waukegan. The den leaders were the people behind the scenes. They planned everything from create script writing to the programming. Since Cub Scouting started in 1930, they decided on a nostalgic theme for the dinner, and relived the early days of radio. Broadcasting from low below earth level in Obie s ballroom, Station W.C.U.B. went on the air with the Webelos den leading everyone in the "Star Spangled Banner." (1931 marks the year that this became the national anthem). Tom Kusmerz (Advancement chairman, and Webelos leader) as Tony Marvin portraying the warmup man for Arthur Godfrey (Glen Neuman, cubmaster) told some hilarious jokes. Then, Arthur Godfrey opened the doors to yesteryear. Picture if you can, eight-and nine-year boys performing excellently, famous radio shows such as The Breakfast club (Den 6), Lone Ranger McHenry Shores Mrs. Rose Lillegard 385-7842 Another Boy Joins Family Of James Crook It's another boy in the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Crook, 717 Hilltop, McHenry Shores.

GOOD BUY STATE FARM INSURANCE GOOD GUY (Den 2), a Barber Shop quartet (Den 1), You Bet Your Life (Den 4), and last but not least, a Walter Winchell newscast by Den 3. The Usual Bobcat, Wolf and Bear awards alternated with the skits and brought the group back to realty oc­ casionally. However, when everyone joined in singing "Mairzy Doats", "Three Little Fishes", and other hits of the days gone by, they once again imagined listening to that wonderful invention that brought both depressing news and dance band music into the homes. Toward the end, the 10- year-old Webelos retrieved the colors as a Kate Smith recording played "God Bless America." Arthur Godfrey '75-76 Feed Grain Outlook Is FA Favorable "Producers will soon be deciding how much and what feed grain crops to plant this spring," said Mr. Jim Lucas, McHenry county executive director, "and if we have a decent planting season the acreage may increase." The 1975-76 grain predictions for the nation were announced during the recent National signing off was quoted as saying "Well, folks, the little old clock on the wall says it's time to go." Agricultural Outlook con­ ference held in Washington I)C. ^ Weather difficulties in 1974 prevented growers from planting their full intentions or caused them to shift to other crops, Lucas said. Feed grain production in Illinois, McHenry county totaled 6 millions last season. Mr. Lucas said. Feed grain prices are stronger relative to competing crops. Washington officials indicate average corn yields for the nation could fall within a range of 87 to 97 bushelsper harvested acres, given average planting and growing conditions this year. "This range would produce a record corn crop and total feed grain production could be 30 to 50 percent above 1974-s 165 million tons," said Mr. Lucas. With these levels, grain prices would be reduced and production in livestock and poultry would be encouraged. "With livestock and poultry producers not adjusting to unfavorable feeding con­ ditions," Lucas said, "the demand for feeding will be weaker in 1975-76 feeding year. However, cattle feeding could change quickly because of the large supply of feeder cattle available for placement." Record-level feed grain production would mean sup­ plies large enough for sub­ stantial stock build-ups, even with the continued increase in exports, Lucas said.
