BROWNIES On June 10, the Brownies had a picnic. Five of twelve girls from the troop flew up to become Girl Scouts those are RoseAnn Catanzaro, Julie Bartkus, Michelle Canady, Michelle Campbell, Ronda Coburn. The other girls got their pins for being in Brownies another year, those who received the pins are, Gina Tannert, Lisa Quilico, Beth Siatta, Maureen Connell, Dawn Carlson, Jill Saunders, and Becky Lonergan. they ride the streets and grind their engines like they are the only one around. What about the people who work all night to make a living and have to put up with the kids? Remember the credit that was given for mowing, well some mowing got done alright and by sheer luck of convenience all the motor bike trails got done and not too much of the channel area got any attention. I hear how fast some people drive and given a car and steering wheel I doubt if these people would go much slower or go the speed limit. It isn't for only one person to be accused but all the home owners. Next what difference does it make as to who made the motion for the roads. Do you plan on burning their home or beating the person up? The motion was made and handled in the best way thought possible, so let's just forget the incident. Here we are only a small community approximately 200 homes and we are as bad at tearing each other apart as the people who run the government in Washington. We all have our own views but look into your own homes and your yards, take a good look at yourself, I know that I have to do the same thing but this continuous battle that we all have is really not necessary. I am not better than my neigh­ bor but I don't consider them better than I either, after all "All men were created equal". Auction Barbecue Fund Raiser For Subdivision Make a community happy by attending the auction and barbecue this Sunday, June 22, from noon till dark. It will be held at the beach site in the Holiday Hills Subdivision. There will be eats for everyone at a nominal cost. The bar­ becue will consist of beef, potato salad, corn and dessert of cake or pie. Soft drinks will be available, any type of alcoholic beverage will not be sold. If you like you may bring your own beer. The auction will be for raising the needed funds to help us during our inflationary crisis. Items can still be donated by contacting Bill Campbell, 385-4205, Jim Coburn, 385-8730, John Foltz, 385-8749. Several items have already been donated such as, TV, 8 track am-fm Stereo Radio, bars, snowblower, clocks, 7>/2 horsepower outboard motor, reducing couch, antiques, and many more items too numerous to mention. Support you local community. BOARD MEETING A board meeting was held Thursday, June 12, at the Campbell residence. The finishing touches were added to the preparation for this weekend's auction and bar­ becue. The playground that has been discussed in past meetings was mentioned, in regards that permission has not been received from the owner, so the playground will remain the same empty lot. A road committee has been nominated to study the roads to see what can be done to them and to search out the feelings of the community. WELCOME A part of our community is trying to get new residents informed as to what our sub­ division is all about. A welcoming committee has been formed to do the above. If you have a new neighbor and can give us their name and address, please call Rosemary Holtz 344- 0615. BIRTHDAYS Those who had birthdays last week we want to wish you a belated birthday greeting. June 13-Kimberly Hughes, Laurie Johnson; June 14-Cathy Beltz; June 15-Eileen Connel, Roger Thietje, Kirk Johnson; June 17- Laura Kottke; June 19-Elaine Erickson who celebrated her OFF RECORD I sit back and look around and hear things that I fully don't understand. In the Holy Bible it states that God created us in his image and in man's law we are all created equal. Now I ask you if this is the case then why aren't we equal? Would you like to be talked about to another person? or be brought face to face with and accused of wrong doing? Sometimes this face to face criticism is hard to take, but used constructively it can do wonders. I have tried in the writing of the column not to let my per­ sonal feelings interfere with my work, and left them to myself. However, I find it very difficult because of the mixed feelings that are through the sub­ division and what I myself as a • reader wants to know about the community, that now I am taking a stand for what I do feel, and all readers of this column from Holiday Hills will try to understand. I think it is about time we stopped stepping on other toes and look how our own are. The way we actually complained about the roads and when the fill was dumped on the roads to fix them all you did was complain that you had to go around them. The motorcycles Fay Liberty To England In College Program Miss Fay L. Liberty of 5107 W. Fountain lane, McHenry, is one of thirty-four students participating in "Wheaton in England", an eight-week literafure study program sponsored by Wheaton college, Wheaton. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Liberty of McHenry. She will study in London from June 11-28 and in Oxford, June 29-Aug. 8. The remaining time will be devoted to individual exploration. A choice of five full-credit courses is offered. "Literary England" allows participation in Oxford university's summer internship program at Exeter college. In addition, there will be lectures by noted British scholars and teachers as well as field trips and excursions. Donald Luby, vice-president and general manager of Wabash Tape corporation, Huntley, announced that a $500 scholarship was renewed for Miss Liberty whose father is a quality control technician at the Huntley plant. Company scholarships are Before you choose an air conditioner, ask the dealer for its energy efficiency ratio. This number tells you the efficiency of a unit. An air conditioner with an EER number of 8 or above will be thrifty for you electrically. The EER number is computed by divid­ ing the BTUs by the watts. A 12,000-BTU unit that uses 1500 watts will rate an 8. If the EER doesn't appear on the tag or metal nameplate, use this simple formula yourself. It's a worthwhile exercise that can pay off in electric dollar savings over the long run. Don'i buy too much capacily. Surprisingly, an air conditioner that's too big usually won't keep you as comfortable as a smaller unit. So measure the space to be cooled before you go to the dealer. Also note any doors that might let cool air escape, or windows that might let direct sunlight in. The dealer will have charts to translate your notes into the right air conditioner selection. Some lips on culling cooling costs. Keep the warm air out and the cool air in with proper insulation and weather stripping where you need it. Block out the sun by drawing drapes. And locate the air conditioner on the shady side of your house, making sure to seal any leaks in the window after you put it in. It makes a lot of sense to buy an air conditioner that starts efficient and stays efficient. Saving energy always makes sense. And when summer's over, you'll find the extra care was worth it-- > in dollars and cents. LOOK FOR AN EER OF 8 OR ABOVE Commonwealth Edison Working for you. @ McHenry Shores Sandra Moyer 385-8646 Gunder Family Returns From Mexican Trip Mr. and Mrs. George Gunder and their daughters, Gayle ana Tami, recently returned from a Academic Honors Are Achieved By McHenry Students Several McHenry students were among the 2,260 University of Wisconsin- Whitewater students who achieved academic honors during the second semester of the 1974-75 school year.

They drove to the border and then took a bus to Mexico City. The bus ride was quite an experience. If you want to get close to the people take a bus. They toured the museums in Mexico City but the highlight of their trip was a visit to the ruins of the Mexican pyramids. It sounds like they * had a wonderful trip. If this weather doesn't clear up maybe we should all move; south. I have noticed even the ducks are starting to carry umbrellas. VILLAGE NEWS The weather is holding up a lot of work around the village. The utility lines on Biscayne have been marked and the contractor is just waiting for the ground to dry out enough to start ditching. Once the ditches are formed and the resurfacing starts Biscayne will be closed to through traffic. The sickle bar has been fitted on the tractor and the cutting of lots and rightaways will begin as soon as weather permits. The positions on the Zoning Board of Appeals have been filled and appointments will have been made at Wed­ nesday's Board meeting. There are still a couple of openings for census takers and one slot unfilled for patrolman. The response for typists was great and will be a great help in getting work done at the village hall Replacement and repainting of street signs is in progress. These signs cost us the tax­ payers about twenty-five dollars apiece. When they are stolen or damaged it is not only the expense but also a hazard to all residents. If the fire department or rescue squad has to answer a call out here the only way they can find a house is by the street signs. Even a few minutes delay could result in a tragic loss to someone. Please impress on your children the importance of not stealing or damaging these signs. SHORELINE WAVES There are still openings for to 21%!
