The Village of Holiday Hills Cheri Hoglund 385-3944 Varsity Cheer Leaders Host Italian Dinner Service with a smile was the name of the game when the varsity cheer leaders of West Campus hosted a fantastic Italian dinner for the entire varsity football team. Mrs. Pintozzi was the cook for the evening and her spaghetti was exceptionally tasty. Brownies and ice cream were served for dessert. The girls outdid themselves as waitresses, a fact that is enthusiastically stated by all the boys who at­ tended. Those from Holiday Hills were John Brechel, Tim and Tom Hughes, Dennis and Scott Wilson. BROWNIES Hiking, once the favorite sport of Brownie Troop 409 dropped to a new low. After what seemed to be forever, the girls returned to the point from whence they started, just a mere two hours earlier. For­ tunately the Lord provided the girls with a beautiful fall day, cool and crisp. Moraine Hills, the new state park, north of the village, was the setting for an afternoon of fun. The park which has much to offer any nature lover and its beauty was not lost on the girls. Debbie Mayo, leader for the troop and energetic moms, Rosemary Holtz, Lillian Pratt and Bev Saunders, found it hard to keep pace with our enthusiastic young ladies: Tracey Eggert, .Jody Fortino, Jill and Kris Hoglund, Debbie Holtz, Gloria and Vickie Mayo, Nancy Piatt, Jill and Laura Saunders, Denice Ozyuk, Valerie Nothnagel, Lisa Simmons, Paula Sossong, Diana Thomas and Maureen Connell. With aching feet from the long walk, lunch was a welcomed recess. The girls and moms all agreed it was a wonderful day amid the lord's glorious creation. The pride of each parent was obvious as they stepped for­ ward to place the Brownie pin on their daughter's uniform. Brownie troop 409 held its in­ vestiture and rededication last Monday evening. The new Brownies were then welcomed into the troop by the older girls who had received gold mem­ bership pins signifying another year in girl scouting, v Those girls who were invested were: Tracey Eggert, Kris Hoglund, Heather Olson, Denise Ozyuk, Tammy Kozub, Val Nothnagel, Lisa Simmons, Paula Sossong, Diana Thomas and Monique Betticore. Those young ladies who were rededicated were: Jody Fortino, Jill Hoglund, Debbie Holtz, Gloria and Vickie Mayo, Nancy Pratt, Jill and Laura Saunders, Kathy Carroll and Maureen Connell. After this solemn ceremony, refresh­ ments were served along with an ample helping of good conversation among friends and neighbors. The girls can now return to the project at hand--making Christmas gifts for the residents of Sheltering Oaks, a nursing home in Island Lake. SCHOOL DAZE The Hilltop Parent-Teacher Organization is hosting their book fair tonight through tomorrow. Do support your child's school by attending. The poster contest winners will be announced this evening. You will have time to browse through an excellent collection of children's books. Proceeds from the sale will again go to H.P.T.O.'s playground im­ provement project. We parents who have children attending Hilltop have a doubly fine reason to ap­ preciate those teachers who do not limit their teaching ex­ perience to the classroom. Mrs. Les, the fourth grade teacher spends Saturday afternoons with her students. After lunch they get to know each other better by talking and playing games. One of our children, Leroy Beltz, was treated to a fun afternoon with his favorite teacher several weeks ago. The second grade teacher, Ms. Verene, in the open classroom, treats her pupils Wednesday after school. The children are allowed the pleasure of choosing their own dinner, which so far, has been unanimously, pizza. Jill Hoglund was one of the first lucky participants to enjoy a lovely evening The two teachers will be including all of the other students in these informal visits. THE PRIDE OF HOLIDAY HILLS Linda Catanzaro, daughter of Joe and Connie, was honored as an outstanding student by her selection to "Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges". The selection is based on all aspects of college activities including service to the, school and scholarship to name a few. We all join in congratulating Linda and her proud family. WOMEN'S CLUB NEWS At the business meeting for the month of November the upcoming bazaar was the first item on the agenda. The ladies were asked to volunteer their services to make the bazaar as successful as it has been in the past. Volunteers are siill needed to work at the bazaar. If you are interested please call Marge Connell or Sally Carroll. Don't forget to come to the bazaar, Nov. 20, at the V.F.W. Route 120, 9-5 and bring a friend. Donations were made to Downey Veterans Hospital, Lake Regions Rescue Squad and the Pioneer Center. The Brownie troop also received a donation. The Christmas party was then discussed and will be held at Casey's Hall, Dec. 8. Mark your calendar and plan to at­ tend and share some holiday spirit with your friends and neighbors. The business portion was then adjourned and the ladies enjoyed the en­ tertainment that had been planned: a wine and cheese tasting experience. Mim DeWitt gave us an in depth report on the production of wines, the different types available and the proper use of each variety. Some of the wines sampled were white, sweet, red, and last but not least and perhaps most popular the bubbly wines. Mim did a dedicated research and we all feel greatly enriched by the entire evening, Hie! There were many new faces at Women's Club. We hope you ladies return to share the gaiety and fun and invite all the ladies in the village to come and enjoy our future meetings. THE NAME'S THE SAME When in the future the name of George R. Wilson is men­ tioned four heads will turn to hear what is said. George R. Wilson, IV, was born on Nov. 8. He weighed in at a healthy 7, lbs., 3 oz. The young man's father is George R. Wilson, III. He uses the nickname Bobby and lives in Porten's sub­ division with his wife, Karen. Bobby's father is George R. Wilson. Jr. (Bob) who lives in the village with his wife. Carol and their family. Living in the same area is George R. Wilson, Sr. It is all very confusing but happily they all know who they are. We pray that these four generations will be able to welcome in the fifth George R. Wilson. Congratulations to the proud parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. BIRTHDAY BOUQUETS To Kristine Walters on the nineteenth. On the twentieth SECTION 2-PAGE9-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 17,1976 ODOaOBBCiOOOO Twice d FIFTY-YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 18, 1926) Bank robbers again invaded McHenry county last Saturday and held up the Spring Grove State bank. The thieves walked out of the bank with a little over $2,000 in their possession, but they did not keep the money long, owing to the bravery and quick action of two young men from the village. Inside of thirty minutes from the time the robbery-jvas staged the two holdups were languishing behind the bars. The thieves entered the bank close to the noon hour and held up Floyd Foss, substitute cashier. Paul Weber was standing across the street from the bank and when Foss sounded the alarm Weber was joined by Victor Siegler and gave chase. The robbers were caught in Fox Lake. It was the second time Foss was the victim of a holdup. Howard V. Phalin of McHenry, a student at Notre Dame, has received signal honors from the members of the Knights of Columbus at the university. At a recent meeting of the council Mr. Phalin was unanimously elected lecturer of the council. As this council is composed entirely of college men, and is the only existing university council in the United States, the position carries much responsibility. He has served in this capacity of treasurer for one year. The work of completing the fill at the mill pond will be continued as goon as the ground dries up and work on the Boone creek bridge will also be continued as soon as the water goes down. The con­ tinued rains have caused the water in Boone creek to rise considerably making it im­ possible to carry on the work at the bridge. The workmen°on the bridge across the mill pond have struck solid foundation so it will be unnecessary to drive piling and to all appearances the cement footing for the bridge will be in this week. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 18, 1936) two of our residents share the day, Casey Bartkus and Angels Catanzarcr. Three on the twenty-first, Gigi Smith, Randy Connell and Sally Foreman. VILLAGE NEWS The third Thursday has arrived and with it the monthly board meeting at the home of Roger Saunders. Please attend.

BOND FARM DRAINAGE CO JIM R. BOND, OWNER Fully Insured 5685 Prairie Rood Rockford, Illinois 61102 Phone: 815/963-1286 The personal injury suit of Mrs. T.J. Walsh of McHenry vs. George and Math Glosson was tried in the McHenry county circuit court and the jury retired for its deliberations about 5 p.m. A sealed verdict was returned to court this morning, awarding the complainant the sum of $5,000. The amount asked was $20,000. The verdict was against George Glosson, the charge against the father being dropped by an in­ struction from the court. The suit was the result of -an i automobile accident which occurred on Oct. 13, 1935, when the car driven by Glosson struck and seriously injured Mrs. Walsh, when she was crossing Elm street: on her way to church Sunday morning. Volunteer workers are com­ pleting the Red Cross roll call in McHenry and surrounding territory and are meeting a generous response from local people. Annual membership in the Red Cross enables your local chapter and the National Red Cross to carry on nation-wide works of mercy and relief. A kidnapping scare, probably augmented by the recent cruel abduction and murder of the little five-year-old Antoinette Tiritilli of Chicago by a moron, who should never have been released from jail, has prevailed in McHenry during the past week and was reported to local police Saturday. Several local children reported being accosted by a man in a green Dodge and asked to go for a ride with him, but although police have combed the streets of McHenry, as well as garages and parking places, no such car has been found here. The first in­ cident of the kind occurred on Armistice morning as Walter Nickels and his little sister, Lucile, were going to school. Lucile had stopped at the corner to wait for her brother when the green car pulled up and stopped and the driver asked the child to direct him to a golf course. The girl was on the running board when her brother came up and was invited by the man to take a ride with him. The children declined, however, saying they had to go to school. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 22, 1951) The Kiwanis club of McHenry township elected a new set of officers for 1952 at their last meeting. They are Thomas Stanley, president; Marius Hanson, vice-president; Arnold Schaettgen, secretary and Horace R. Wagner, treasurer. The new directors are Joseph X. Wayne, John Lathrop, Art LaGreca, Anthony Grill, Herman Gertz, Floyd Covalt, George Collette, and Maurice Clark. They will be installed at a special installation meeting Dec. 17. On Tuesday, the McHenry State bank announced that during this week almost $50,000 in Christmas savings Checks are being mailed to customers. This represents the savings of 500 Christmas savings club members for the past year. A Deerfield motorist was brought before Judge Rauen in McHenry the last of the week for violating the ruling on the passing of school buses which are loading or discharging passengers. He was fined ten dollars and costs. The driver was apprehended for failing to stop as he approached a bus which had stopped at the Blake farm north of McHenry to pick up school children. Seventy-seven members of McHenry county 4-H clubs will be guests of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce Nov. 29 at a bancmet at the Grace Lutheran church, Woodstock. Christmas tree decorations and lights will soon find their way through the efforts of the homemaker, from the store room to the Yule tree. Anticipating the many holiday accidents which each year occur, N. Stanley Hunt of Ringwood, deputy state fire marshal, warns of fire hazards at this time of year. He reminds that boxes of paper accumulate and when left near open fires become extremely dangerous. t TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 24, 1966) Fire of undetermined origin broke out in a hay and storage barn with attached apartments of 4335 W. McCullom Lake road, McCullom Lake, Frdiay night and caused an estimated $150,000 worth of damage, according to Fire Chief Ed Justen. Officer Tom Bateman of the McCullom Lake police department was on routine patrol when he noticed the flames, and radioed the alarm at 8:42 p.m. An Intensive Coronary Care seminar will be held Wednesday, Nov. 30, at the McHenry hospital, B.J. Massouda, M.D.. local program chairman for the Illinois Heart Association, has announced. This will be a program for all physicians and nurses in Service Area III which includes Kane, McHenry, DeKalb. LaSalle, Will, Grundy and Kendall counties. With the opening of the new McHenry hospital last June, the remodeled kitchen began a new type of tray service, a conveyor belt system. A selective menu was offered patients for the first time and has proven popular. Cambro covers keep food hot and make an attractive appearing tray. McHenry county women of all faiths are invited to a deanery meeting to be held in Saints Peter and Paul church, Cary, Dec. 7. The agenda will include reports from parish presidents and deanery committee chairmen on parish activities and plans for the coming year The theme on the program is "Christian Love in the Community".

They called it a heat pump. Today, it is the only commercially available heating system that provides an answer to shrinking supplies of fuel oil and gas. How the heat pump works. Basically, the heat pump moves heat from one place to another. Using elec­ tricity to run the device, it extracts heat from a limitless source--the heat in out­ door air. During winter, enough heat remains in the air--even on the coldest and cloudiest days--to be extracted by the pump and transferred indoors as clean, flameless heat. And during warm weather, the process automatically reverses, removing excess indoor heat and humidity--like an air conditioner. Better efficiency* In short, the heat pump does the job of both a furnace and an air conditioner. But there's an important difference. The heat pump produces more than 1V2 units of heat energy for every unit it consumes. That's better efficiency than any other current heating system. It s ready* It's ideal for new homes because it won't be obsolete in ten years. It's not depend­ ent on the fossil fuels that may not be available in the future. To the homeowner, that means significant long-term savings on heating costs. The heat pump is a big step in the conservation of scarce fuels. And here in northern Illinois, the electricity you would use to capture the heat comes mainly from coal and nuclear energy, rather than scarce oil and gas. To get the full advantages of the heat pump, it's important to get a quality prod­ uct, properly installed and reliably serv­ iced. For the name of qualified installers in your area, call G. W. Berkheimer (Westinghouse Distrs.), (312) 374-4411, or General Electric Co., (312) 496-6356.
