The first step taken thus far is our board and attorney Mr. Narusis, ap proached the Village of Island Lake. We are within the one and a half mile line, therefore we do not have total liberty to incorporate until we get the consent of any existing city or village. Our board again ap peared before the board of Island Lake and indications were given that consent could be given and the consent paper signed anywhere from 30 to 90 days. We are presently awaiting for their consent. Mr. Narusis went on to discus^ many avenues where we could be getting money back that we are giving to other communities at this time. A few mentioned were motor fuel, State of Illinois Income Taxes, Federal Revenue Sharing and Real Estate. Estimation came out to be approximately 12 to 15 thousand dollars a year, based on the census here in Holiday Hills which has to be at least 400 people totaled, before we could even incorporate. If we don't incorporate we won't have or get any more than we have now. You won't miss much because we don't have the roads, and the members don't pay their dues. Hassles will continue because the board does the best they can and don't get the help needed to do the projects like the beach or cleaning cluverts. The list is endless so you as a homeowner has to make the decision. From a show of hands we will go ahead with the Incorporation proceedings. The time that the consent is signed and we become incorporated is ap proximately 150 days to 5 months. I couldn't believe the turnout that we had with around 150 interested people in at tendance. The respect that was asked by Mr. Campbell was not shown to Mr. Narusis or other members when the time came for questions and answers. There was talking among ourselves making it hard for others to hear. It isn't any wonder we have problems with today's kids. They get their behavior from us. It was distasteful and rude for the people to leave when the regular meeting started. Over 100 people got up and left when Mr. Campbell started talking about the subdivision, leaving those who always do things for you. You gripe and hassle over incorporating and yet these people are the ones doing the work, and you don't care enough about staying for a business meeting when you're right there to begin with. The regular business meeting followed the discussion on incorporating. The roads were talked about plus culverts, * ditches and the very necessity of good draining. By grading the roads we don't solve the problem but temporarily as they will wash out again when we have heavy rains and the water backs up, as we have been experiencing. They need help for cleaning the culverts and to either make or clean ditches. If you would like, to have your culvert cleaned there is one restriction - YOU HELP Busing routes will be maintained first. A suggestion as to the changing the name of the subdivision resulted in only one name being given and that was to leave it as Holiday Hills. More was on the agenda but the cooperation of those who left was needed. Money isn't available to do anymore to the beach area, but if you would like to make a contribution stating such it will be used strictly for that purpose. EASTER EGG HUNT Before I begin I must apologize for the confusion as to the day of the Easter Egg Hunt, also for not getting it in the paper earlier. To the Hunt... As I arrived at the empty lot I saw the Easter Bunny looking very unhappy. I went over and said, "Easter Bunny why are you so sad?" "Well" she says "You know the Women's club?" "I sure do" says I, "they planned this afternoon for the boys and girls". She proceeded with her story, "They were to get the eggs and candy, but in their efforts to ask volunteers for the candy, the people failed to bring the candy as was promised and when it came time for me to stuff the eggs I didn't have much to give these boys and girls." Well, Easter Bunny thank you for trying to do what you could, maybe next year will be better. By 1 o'clock the kids were ready and waiting. Every girl and boy there had a good time and gathered a lot of eggs, some with numbers on and then got pennies when turned in. Silver and gold eggs were hidden and prizes were given. Those receiving prizes are Julie Lockman, 3 years old, Kathy Chappel, 2 years old, Julie Bartkus, 8 years old. Amy Siatta, 4 years old, Michael Holcomb, 3 years old, Debbie Bartkus, 10 years old, Tom Wegener, 10 years old and Becky Lonergan, 7 years old. WELCOME HOME It's so good to know that Cari Jaramski is home arriving sometime Saturday. We welcome her home and glad to know that she is doing quite well. Some one else knew she was coming home as the Easter Bunny had brought her an Easter basket to the hunt then took the basket to her after she arrived home. We hope you have a nice Easter Cari.

The Coinage Act of 1972 decreed that the image of an eagel must appear on all coins above the den omination of a dime . . . that was understandable, he was our national emblem, but certainly the law did not presume to imply that the eagle community need send a representative to oversee the Mint's pro liferation of their image, but something strangely not unlike that actually hap pened. In 1836, from out of nowhere, an eagle took up residence inside the Phil adelphia Mint . . . its' origin, age or family were completely unkown. Almost immediately he acquired the name of "Peter" from the Mint employees. During his tenure he was permitted to move about freely but MINT EAGLE" Mint cronicles indicate that "Peter" devoted most of his time to observing and studying Mint operations, always anxious to get as close to the action as pos sible. Ironically, this en thusiasm for his observer duties led to his downfall perched on a flywheel and caught unawares by a sudden startup, he was crushed in the machinery. The best care andattention available couldn't "pull him through" ..."Peter" quietly expired. l or more than six years he had been on the job and his absence was felt by many but there was consolation in the fact that this friendly, unusual eagle was written into of ficial Mint records as "Peter the Mint Bird." The Mint's staff engaged a notable taxidermist and "Peter" carried on from a glass case in the Mint cab inet room ... the future of the eagle's image on our silver coins assured by law.
