The Village of Holiday Hills CHERI HOGLUND ROSEMARY HOLTZ 385-3944 344-0615 Trivia Fact Earns Writer Luncheon Treat Thanks to the fast dialing fineer and quick (?) mind of this columnist who had all the answers for radio station WIVS in Crystal Lake, a com­ plimentary lunch was the reward for knowing such trivia, enjoyed by myself and co- columnist Rosemary at Crescent Bay Landing in Johnsburg. Our long leisurely lunch began with a spicy, seafood soup and a salad supreme. The entree was a delectable dish of scallops in lobster sauce served over a bed of steaming saffron rice. Dessert and coffee topped off a delightful afternoon BLUEBIRDS The eight little bluebirds welcomed Easter early this year by dining in the very wee hours of the morning when they were treated to a breakfast of waffles, bacon and eggs and juice at the home of Leader Joyce Michaels. They all en­ joyed their first meal of the day. SCHOOL DAZE Mrs. Antonous' first graders were transported back in time to the dawn of creation at the Eield Museum. Dinosaurs and their assorted relatives were the subjects of their journey and as Heather Beltz, Paulette Canaday, Tommy Cusman and Terri Priko were relieved that the scenes they were viewing happened years ago and the year was still 1977.

VILLAGE NEEWS The Holiday Hills Planning commission will meet April 5 at the Bill Schmidt residence at 7 p.m. Meetings are open to the public and all interested parties are invited to attend. The * upcoming village election will be held April 19. The positions to be filled are president, village clerk, and three trustees. It is with this thought in mind that we present those candidates who are seeking office. Roger Saunders is running unopposed for the position of president. He will be seeking his second term He comments, "It can be viewed in either of two ways, First, it could be an indication of extreme apathy on your part, or second, it could be your way of saying that I am doing a reasonably good job, or this point make promises as part of their campaign but Phyllis only promises to do her best to be effective. A village clerk has a large responsibility, and she would like your vote April 19 so that she can handle that commitment to the residents of Holiday Hills. One of the candidates run­ ning for trustee is Helen Schneider, outgoing village clerk. As village trustee she will work to improve the communication between the board members and the villagers. She wants you to feel free to call or stop at her home to discuss problems, your neighbor's needs, etc. She also feels the board should concentrate on the roads. "This is what we in­ corporated for. Our roads need gravel badly. The ditches-- what we have--should be fixed and all roads should have a ditch alongside them. This would help. our drainage problems. We should be looking into the possibility of a federal grant to improve our roads. After the roads, then we can worry about a village hall, street lights, etc. We still need the citizens to do their part. Together we can make this a better com­ munity".

"The clerk is the only person in HAVE A NICE DAY village politics who works on a day to day basis with residents, ) thus she must be extremely versatile not only in clerical duties but more importantly in dealing effectively with people". She feels that she is well qualified for she graduated from Michigan State university with a B.S. in education, spending several years teaching adults and children.

Many candidates at or visible support. at least not too poor a job, as your village president. The latter conclusion is obviously more soothing to my ego. However my primary concern is that voter turnout April 19 does not support the former conclusion". "At stake in this election are the positions of village clerk and three village trustees. The degree of progress realized by our village in the next four years will be greatly influenced • by your vote in this election. It is crucial to the success of our village that the clerk be pleasant, intelligent, well organized and qualified to perform her clerical job. It is equally important that the trustees be level-headed, in­ telligent, cooperative and motivated by the best interests of all the residents. They will have some very difficult decisions to make, which will affect all of us. Please make an effort to get acquainted with,all the candidates". "For my part, I will do my level best to live up to the trust you have apparently seen fit to place in me If you have any questions, comments or criticisms please feel free to contact me.

Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health center staff. This article is "Coping - Consequences of the Changing Role of Women." As a result of our society's changing attitude towards the role of women, many women who have been housewives for many years now see an op­ portunity to more fully utilize potential skills that heretofore have remained rather dor­ mant For many women this means an opportunity to engage in occupations that were formerly reserved ex­ clusively for men. There are, however, some problems, expected and unexpected, for the woman in such a position. Acceptance by co-workers, both men and women, can present serious difficulties. Often women find themselves having to be even more competent in a given occupation than a man in the same occupation. In the time period prior to workers ac­ cepting a woman • in a responsible position, the woman may experience both outright as well as subtle sabotaging of her work. Women also may experience some resentment in the home if she works. Many husbands feel that their wives should remain in the home to take care of the children and the house. Most particularly, if the woman has a very responsible position, the husband may actually feel as if he is competing with his wife for status. > Perhaps most important are . the feelings that the woman herself feels about her working. Often her own misgivings as to her proper role as a wife and mother is enough to produce feelings of guilt. With the ad­ ditional burden of criticism from the family and people at work, a woman can easily develop the feeling that she is out of place in a responsible occupation. The best solution to this dilemma is to talk about her feelings with her family or friends. This will serve the dual purpose of communicating to others the importance to the woman to be doing something THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER " " Established 1875 3812 West Elm Street Phone 385-0170 McHenry.
