PA6E 4 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1975 McCullom Lake Geny Milbratz 385-8543 New Ordinance Allows Village Condemnations A new ordinance (No. 116) was passed at ,the board meeting, March 11, allowing the village board to condemn buildings considered unfit or dangerous. Previously, con­ demnation was done by the county. A complete legal notice of the ordinance is printed elsewhere in the newspaper. The board also passed a resolution to open a savings account for the deposit of money received from rental of the village hali. All money in the account will be used only for maintenance and upkeep of the village hall. Persons in­ terested in renting the hall for private use may contact Jerry Raycraft for information. Two more street lights will be installed soon. One at the corner of Maple Hill, and Forest, and the other at Maple Hill, and Spring road. The opening for civil defense director hasn't been filled yet. Anyone considering taking the position must be able to complete two home study courses, plus attend two civil defense meetings per month. Village clerk Karen Parks can supply more information on duties and qualifications. At the next board meeting, March 25, Trustee Weisen- berger will present the five year plan for road repairs and drainage. He asks residents who have or know of especially bad drainage areas to attend the meeting and express their opinions as to which places need first consideration. VEHICLE STICKERS Just thirteen days until the March 31 deadline for pur­ chasing vehicle stickers. Because the clerk's office is usually very busy on Satur­ days, it is suggested that residents go for their stickers during the week to avoid a long wait. The clerk's office located at the side entrance of 4616 W. Parkview is open till 7 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. ABSENTEE BALLOT APPLICATIONS March 18 was the last day to register for the election, April 15, but applications for ab­ sentee ballots may be obtained until April 10. Registered voters, who will be out of town on election day, can get their application from the village clerk. EGG DONATIONS ASKED Residents are reminded of the Easter egg hunt for village youngsters, March 29, at 10 a.m., and asked for donations of eggs. Since usually, over 150 kids participate in the hunt, there are never too many eggs. Donations of the hard boiled eggs, can be brought to 5213 W. Orchard, or 4900 W. Parkview anytime Friday, March 28, or dropped off at the beach before 8:30 a.m. March 29. LITTLE LEAGUE There's still time for boys, age 8 to 12, to register for Little League. Forms can be obtained from Mr. Gomez, at 5218 W. Maple Hill, or Mr. Milbratz, 4900 W. Parkview. The second, and last registration date is Saturday March 22, from 11 a.m. till 2 p.m., at either residence. Anyone with questions concerning fees or age eligibility may contact Mr. Milbratz for information. BICENTENNIAL The McHenry County Bi­ centennial commission is waiting for names of a couple of village residents who'd represent McCullom Lake on a county level, in planning for the bi-centennial. Anyone who'd like to join the commission, and help prepare for this country's 200th birthday, is asked to contact Karen Parks, at 385- 2211. The commission is going to publish a calendar of events booklet, and wants to know of regularly scheduled events, or special celebrations planned Pastor Finds Good Old J. ' Days Getting Better (by Father William O. Hanner, retired, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth). When our family bought its first automobile my mother embarked, with me as driver, upon a pilgrimage to her girlhood home on an Iowa farm. I shall never forget her here from July 1975, through December, 1976, which would have county wide appeal. Groups or organizations who have such events planned are asked to inform Karen Parks of them. BIRTHDAY « A very happy birthday to Marv Kantorski, who celebrates, March 24. REMINDER McCullom Lake Con­ servation Club meets Thur­ sday, March 20. 8 p.m., at McCullom Lake beach house. disappointment when nothing remained as she remembered it. It was my first awareness of the totality of "change". " Now, I know enough to realize things are not what they were. When we left Ocean Springs to drive to Miami I resolved to revisit Eglin field where I had been stationed during the war. This field is the; development of the old Proving Ground command. Many of the Air Force research projects are centered there. It was there that Jimmy Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders trained -- it was there a bombing technique was developed to neutral ize the V- bomb attacks on London. This great air base, the largest in the Air Force, lies in the piney woods of North Florida some 30 or 40 miles east of Pensacola. In the early days of the war it was an un­ developed area where there were big rattlesnakes, pine woods, wild deer and frequent interruptions of electric power. w -- y REBATE brings the cost of painting Du Font's LUCITE HousePaint 11 'N PRIMER DRIES IN AN HOUR #*** ^ LUCITE W Wall Paint OUR REG.

Rd.f McHenry, III Daily 9-9, Sunday Til 6 Woodstock, III The buildings were sketchy and rough, the roads often sandy lanes and the beaches along the gulf looked white as snow in the light of a full moon. On lonesome beaches I once gathered driftwood of an evening to keep the fireplace going next day -- for it can get cold in North Florida. All about the field were bayous, marshy and wild. Eglin field was primitive. We found that once you en­ tered the field you drove a long way to the center of things. The original Climatic Hangar, a huge building in the early '40s was only a shed compared with the new and magnificent structures that boggled mind and eye. The little "country store" commissary was now a shopping center. The tiny lab was a great mathematical center. The old Officer's cltfb had been quite a facility in its early day. Now a club that rivaled the North Shore country clubs in Cook county was our dining site. Three huge dining rooms with tall glass windows overlooked Choctawatchee bay. A semicircle of plate glass framed the sparkling waters so that we could clearly see Destin, where we lived in 1942- 44, (then the nearest phone to our house was seven miles away). While we were but seven miles away by water we were seventeen by land. Well designed homes replace the war odds and ends we lived in. A fine golf course was near the quarters of the base. Elegant new housing for the troops was in use. In the old days many used tents. The scrubby little country villages were now modern towns. A modern military base is a complicated and organized municipality with every possible need supplied and a good many luxuries besides. During the war my mother lived with us in our Eglin field days. I don't think she would have been disappointed - just amazed. By night we were in Tallahassee. Fine town, the capital of Florida. Did you ever wonder why Florida's capital is 1 so geographically off center? In the early days there was j nothing south of Gainsville. Tallahassee was at the center j of population. We continued on south from the capital. All morning there was hardly any cars to be seen (in comparison with a few winters back.) Motels were down in price, there were fewer signs of activity. But in the Tarpon Springs, Clearwater, Tampa, St. Pete's area everything was crowded. We had supper and hunted for a motel. At last we found a bad one for which we paid too much and slept off and on as planes roared in and out of < the Saratoga airport. The next morning we con­ tinued across Florida and through Arcadia, once a small cow town but now good size. We visited the Myakka State park., It is the largest state park in Florida and deserves to be far better known. There are large shallow lakes in which fish and wild fowl abound. The park has an area of some 27,000 acres. It is much like the Everglades National park in Southern Florida. In the early 1950's Florida stood second in the nation in beef cattle. Today it stands fifteenth. Mull that over, brother! It does not mean "development" nor "im­ provement". It means that the beef raising area of a great state is being sacrificed for the quick profits of the developer. If everyone insists on having children without thought-and living in fancy housing developments at the price of farms and ranches, we will get to the place where we shall wonder where and how to raise food. It is easy to smile and shrug it off, but a brutal fact remains as we go blithely on with the rape of the food resources of tomorrow. Think it over. Spring Grove Eva Freund 675-2135 Tillie May Honored On 86th Birthday Congratulations to Mrs. Tillie May on her eighty-sixth bir­ thday, the date was Feb. 25. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold May hosted a dinner party for her held in Richmond. Present at the dinner were her family and her brothers and sisters.
