The Village of Holiday Hills Cheri Hoglund 385-3944 Tips For A Safe Halloween PAGE 19 - PLAIN DEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1®7« Big Top Beckons To Pratt Family A hushed silence fell over the crowd as the ringmaster strode to center ring. Anticipation was in the air as a shrill shriek came from the whistle he carried around his neck. "Ladieeeees and gentlemen, the show is about to begin." A thunderous applause from the audience showed their ap proval. The circus was in town - or in Chicago if you will, and the Pratts - Winston, Lillian, Linda, Nancy and her guest, Jill Hoglund, were about to enjoy the "greatest show on earth." Excitement abounded when ferocious lions and tigers were put through their paces. The vicious bears, barking dogs and prancing horses added flavor to the big top. Tightrope artists danced across the taut wire, what seemed to be miles up as they defied death with their leaps and twists and turns. The daring young men and women on the flying trapeze were indeed a beautiful and graceful sight, much like birds in flight. The best thing according to two little girls was the marriage of the tiny midgets, that was the highlight of the whole day. It was an unforgettable day in the lives of one of our resident families. UPTHE CREEK0 Viewing the Lord's glorious scenery as the summer slowly changes to autumn, Chris Connell and twenty other young people from the McHenry High School Outdoor club, paddled their canoes down the Kankakee river as the first in many activities for this club. It was a day enjoyed by all, but mostly by Chris. A BUNDLE FROM HEAVEN The village is pleased to welcome Jill Elizabeth, first child of Craig Caldwell and his wife, Kathy.

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY To Marty Lewandowski and his family on the death of his mother We ask the Lord to strengthen them during this sorrowful time. BOO Halloween, with its ghosts and goblins, witches and fairy princess' the one day of the year our children are gay and free. The farthest thing from their minds is looking out for the cars that use our roads, but you drivers MUST look out for the children. Please drive carefully this day (as well as others) especially VILLAGE NEWS The monthly board meeting was held at the home of Bill Campbell on the twenty-second of October. With the minutes of the last regular meeting ap­ proved, business was then brought before the board. Roger Saunders resigned as trustee and the task of selecting another person to fill this vacancy was undertaken. Those interested villagers were then .interviewed. The board then appointed Charles Dubsky to be this trustee until the general election held in April. He will be sworn in at the next meeting. A treasurer's report was also submitted, the particulars available from the village clerk. A special meeting will be held at the home of Roger Saunders the night of the eleventh of November. The address is 2502 Driftwood. Hope to see you there. Another of your elected trustees is Patricia Hughes, who with her husband, Ed and five children, Denise, Tim and Tom. Eddy and Kiki have lived in Holiday Hills for fourteen years. All of her family are socially as well as community orientated. Pat believes that our area is one of the most beautiful, with Trick or treating can be a fum experience for your chil­ dren or it can be as frightening as any ghost story. Each year at Halloween increasing num­ bers of children suffer from auto accidents, fire injuries, falls, poison treats and other unnecessary miseries. But Barb Tickner, safety expert in the loss control department of CNA Insur­ ance, claims much can be done by parents to ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween for their children. Tickner offers the follow­ ing suggestions as guidelines for your Beggar's Night preparations: • Be sure your child's costume does not restrict vision or mobility. Make-up or water paint are better than a mask which makes it difficult for the child to see and breathe. If your goblin insists on wearing one, ask that it be removed when walking from house to house. A child wearing "everyday" shoes will be more comfor­ table, and also less likely to stumble or fall, than when wearing high heels or "cos­ tume" shoes. • The entire costume, including wigs, should be flame retardant. Many an open jack-o-lantern flame has come in contact with the billowing skirt of an un­ suspecting witch or ghost. • The costume should be of a light colored material if possible so it is easily visible its lakes and channels. They offer to its residents hours of leisure in which to indulge in the sports and hobbies they enjoy, such as fishing, skating, swimming and boating as well as the quiet beauty seen in the eye of the beholder. There is something for everyone. She personally wants to see the natural beauty of our area enhanced and preserved.

Reflective tape strips can also be applied to the costume and "treat bag" to make the beggar easier to spot in the dark. • It's a good idea to have your child carry a flashlight. It not only helps to make the child visible, but also makes walking easier and safer. Dec­ orate the light so it becomes part of the costume. • Toy weapons and other not to eat any of the treats until they get home and you've inspected all of it. Make sure all candy is wrapped and that the wrapper hasn't been tampered with. Dispose of anything that looks or smells suspicious or spoiled. All fruits should be washed and cut into small pieces to make certain nothing has been placed inside. If you find or suspect some of the treats have been tampered with, report it to your local .police authorities for investigation. Tickner reminds parents the best precaution of all is to limit your children's trick or treating to your immediate area and friends. Then you can be sure there'll be more treats than dirty tricks. CONSUMER GUIDELINES Sunnyside Area Ellen & Bill Perschke 385-8188 know£^ costume parts should be made of cardboard to avoid serious injury if the child should fall. • Don't let your child go out alone. Always accompany him or her on the trick or treat rounds or station several neighborhood parents on each block watching all the children. • Tell the children never to enter a strange home, even if they are invited by the owner. • Caution your goblins Energy Tip If you have a forced air heating system, prevent heat loss by checking duct work for air leaks--espe­ cially at connection points. Leaks can be repaired sim­ ply by covering holes or cracks with a cloth adhe­ sive tape. Aid Voters In Polling Places With the presidential election next Tuesday. Nov. 2.

Mill ions of tons of water are absorbed by the air through evaporation every second. This gives the lay­ er of gases above the sur­ face of the earth (our weather) i ts moisture. As this air r ises usually because of heating from the earth, which is heated by the sun, i t ascends into colder temperatures. In the colder weather the air con­ denses and i ts water capa­ city decreases. When the dewpoint is reached, or when the mois­ ture content becomes the absolute maximum, precip­ i tat ion follows, s ince air t ravels hundreds of miles a day usually, to the east in this hemisphere, absorb­ ed moisture can be carried great distances before pre­ cipitat ion is f inally tr ig­ gered by a combination of al t i tude and low tempera­ ture. \A< )M( ,( )/Wf K'Y \\Vi\ MIJ IN-STORE WAREHOUSE SALEI Ends Saturday, Oct. 30, 1976 Every Western Field® -30/30-cal. rifle. 114 8 8 • M m' Reg. 129.99 Integral trigger, lever lets you fire easily, rapidly.
