SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 2,1977 Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff" 728 0267 Wonder Lake Boy Sought For Police Program Our local Wonder Lake American Legion Post 1169 in conjunction with the Illinois state police and th^, Depart' ment of Safety, Law and Order commission, will sponsor a Wonder Lake boy, 14 or 15 years old to participate in the 1977 Youth Police program. The purpose of the Youth Police program is to bring together the youth of our state and law enforcement officers, in order to create a better understanding of the problems and attitudes of both groups, and to develop a rapport bet­ ween youth and police. The Legion will be looking for an average Wonder Lake youth to participate in this program, a boy not necessarily interested in a career in law enforcement. In fact, a youth who does not seem to have vocational or scholastic direction may benefit the most from this program. Selection of a can- diate will not be based on scholastic standing. One of the goals of this program is to rekindle in our youth the fading respect for persons empowered with the responsibility of enforcing the law at all levels of government. The boys will be given an op­ portunity to 1) witness the rigid training and standards set forth in law enforcement today; 2) seek answers to questions that will help him better understand why police officers take certain actions that may directly or indirectly affect him ; and 3) to express his own feelings and views, both in classroom situations and in informal "rap" sessions. At the end of the week, each youthful par­ ticipant should return to his community with a clearer understanding of the police and their problems. The Wonder Lake legion will assume financial sponsorship of the applicant. The program will be held from June 19-25, ̂ 1977, at the state police academy in Springfield, 111. The sponsorship fee includes clothing, food, lodging, in­ surance, awards and ad­ ministration of the program. Program activities will in­ clude physical training, athletic activities, recreational activities, field trips and educational sessions. Any boy wishing to become an applicant or needing more information about this program should contact Richard Garlinski at 653-7506. BELATED WISHES Belated happy birthday to Tari Ruggero, Jan. 26. Belated happy birthday to Mary Mathews, Jan. 27. Belated happy ninth birthday to Scott Parquette, Jan. 29. Belated happy twenty-first wedding anniversary to Pat and Gene Seaver who celebrated Jan. 28. ATTENDSHOW The Phil Donahue show on .Monday, Jan. 24, presented a very interesting program on reconstructive surgery and the use of silicone for all parts of the body. In the audience were several women from the Wonder Lake area, Sharon McGowan, Joan Freund, Nancy Parquette, Jill White, Nancy Freund, Mary Kay Fenske and Millie Gende. Friends of the girls who were watching the program were especially delighted when Joan Freund was selected to ask one of the questions from the audience. A stop for lunch on the way home topped off a "fun" day for all. COOKIE SALK_ During the week of Feb. 10 through Feb. 19, a bright little girl with a cookie button on her coat will be knocking on your door. Welcome her- it's Girl Scout cookie time again! This year's cookie theme is "Good for You" and you will be of­ fered a selection of mint, golden trefoil, fudge pattie. assorted sandwich and peanut butter cookies to choose from. The Girl Scout cookie sale has four purposes: 1) to raise money for council; 2) to raise money for two projects; 3) to give troops an opportunity to give service council; and 4) a learning experience for the girls. The cookie delivery date will be March 24. BIRTHDAY PARTY Jan. 24 was a big day for Jason Heaver, son of Barb and Roger Heaver. Jason celebrated his sixth birthday by taking a group of his friends to McDonalds for a party. It didn't take long for the little fellows to gobble down hamburgers, french fries and cokes, with room left pver for Ronald McDonald birthday cake. Those who shared Jason's happy day and came home with hats, balloons and prizes were John and David Liggett, Patrick and Kevin Huff, Todd Parquette, Scott and Robby Heaver, Mark Moeller, Carl Moritz and David Bujak. Jason also celebrated with his kindergarten class at Harrison school by taking a very special Big Bird cake to school and serving it to his classmates. TROPICAL PARADISE?

Some bicentennial reception for the Parquettes! And so, Nancy and Ron put on sweaters and coats and used the two blankets available for their bed - there was no heat. In addition to snow, there was rain and wind and a storm that pulled up trees from the roots. All outdoor activities, including a dinner cruise, a glass bottom boat trip and swimming - had to be cancelled. But the Parquettes enjoyed meeting the people of the island and fellow vacationers; reported the food was excellent and being alone together on an island, was great! Nancy recalled the most beautiful sight of all was the view of the lights of Chicago shore line as their evening flight landed on their return trip.

Put the greens on top and set the whole bowl in the refrigerator un­ til just before you're ready to serve, then toss the salad at the table. Take Action To Derail Pollution From Trains Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott recently initiated action to force the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad to reduce noise and air pollution from its railroad yard in Fox Lake, 111. Scott said. "The Milwaukee Road uses the Fox Lake yard to park its commuter trains and locomotives on nights, weekends, and holidays when they are not in use. The locomotives are parked ad­ jacent to homes, and they are never turned off. As a result, they emit totally unnecessary noise, diesel fumes, and odors to the surrounding community. "Neighboring residents have complained to the railroad about this situation for over ten years, with no results", Scott said. ^'The noise and air pollution are in violation of the rules and regulations of the Illinois Pollution Control board. Accordingly, we have asked the board to fine the railroad for its past violations, and to order the railroads to cease and desist from further violations". Scott went on to say that,- "Since Illinois is a focal point for much of the railroad acitivity in the country, we have more than our share of lliilroad pollution problems. Pollution from interstate trains is controlled by the federal government. But the U.S. Environmental Protection agency has recognized that pollution from fixed facilities such as the Fox Lake yard are a local and state problem, and are best controlled by local and state authorities. The wisdom of this policy has been proved in two earlier cases, which resulted in significant reduc­ tions in pollution from rail yards in South Holland and Venice, near East St. Louis, operated by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railrqad and Terminal Railroad association. "We are not seeking to im­ pose any unreasonable burden on the Milwaukee road", said Scott. "All we ask is that they be required, as other railroads have been required, to be responsible neighbors and take reasonable steps to clean up the environment." What About Me? A vendor standing on the street offered cigars at a nickel apiece. A man bought one, lit the cigar, took a puff and began to cough violently. "What kind of rot are you selling me?" he yelled, "this cigar is awful." The vendor looked sympathetically, then pointed to three cases of the cigars and said: "You're lucky you only bought one, look at all I bought!"
