PAGE 22 -PLAINDEALER- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1977 Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 Sunnyside Picnic Termed Grand Success The Sunnyside village picnic I hat was held Saturday, Aug. 13, was a great success. Though the turnout was not as large as expected, those who came had a good time. The ladies brought all sorts of goodies from home and the village supplied the rest. Bill Mitchell, picnic chairman, appreciates the efforts of all who helped in various jobs to make the picnic a success. Prize winners in the childrens' games were 2 to 3 year olds: first, Jackie McGinnis, Curtis Holcom; second, Kristina DiCianni, Brian Panerali The 4 to 5 year old winners are: first, Melissa Vayo, P.T. Fleming Jr.; second, Beth Bf^mann, Ricky Dockham. 'i.»e 6,7 and 8 year olds: first. Jean Mieziadowski, Bob Messer: second, Beth Back- mann. Walt Kalinowski. The 9 and 10 year olds: first, Chris Engstrom, Billy Pucucci: second, Laurie Donahue, Bob Slacks. The U. 12 and 13 year olds, first. Amy Freund, John Mieziadowski: second. Michelle Hancock, Joe Dockham The 14 to 17 year olds: first, Mark Zawisiak and Dawn McClory: second, Eric Zawisiak , and Shirley McGinnis. In the adult games only a few were played when the rains came Winners were Mable Zawisiak, Bill Sandell, Sr., and Steve Livery. It rained for a short time and it may have dampened the picnickers, but it didn't dampen the spirits. The picnic went right on. During the day, many went home with nice prizes. Hope to see you all again next year SILO DAMAGED I mentioned a few weeks ago good times can be spoiled quickly when you're the victim of vandals. This time Bill and Donna Mitchell, 4017 Wilmot road, were the victims. Bill was the chairman of the Sunnyside picnic and he. Donna, and son. Billy, were busy all day Saturday working at the picnic, enjoying the day with friends and neighbors. This is when some thoughtless party decided to redecorate their silo. Last year at a great deal of personal expense, the Mit­ chell's had their silo painted commemorating our country's Bicentennial year. Passersby still admire the work. This was marked as the target for vandalism. With cans of spray paint, the damage was done. Isn't it a shame when people can't leave their homes for a few hours without some sort of vandalism being done? To the party or parties responsible: Are you proud of your handy work? The police were notified; though the culprits probably won't get caught unless they strike again and are caught in the act. It's too bad you couldn't come and enjoy the picnic with us. In­ stead you chose to damage other peoples' property. Fortunately Bill was able to clean off the spray paint and restore the painting. But it took a full day of work to do so. WOMEN'S AUXILIARY As I mentioned last week the village of Sunnyside is trying to start a women's auxiliary. At the tillage picnic if was brought up and a number of women signed to say they would be interested in joining. It will be formed by civic minded ladies interested in aiding the village in many ways. It will also give the ladies a chance to get together socially once a month. If you are interested please call me. Betty Messer, 385-6023. All the ladies who signed up at the picnic and any others interested in joining the Sun­ nyside Women's auxilairy should plan on attending the Sept. 6 village meeting. With a good turnout at the meeting, we hope to get the auxiliary launched. See you there? POLICE NOTES Congratulations are in order for a member of the police department. Chief Earl Kramer is very proud of his female and juvenile officer. Jonnie Boike. Jonnie was promoted to Sergeant Aug. 10, 1977. It 's now Sgt. Jonnie Boike. Congratulations, Sgt. Boike. Jonnie's husband. Bill, is also a police officer. We think our police force is doing an ex­ cellent job. EMERALD ANNIVERSARY The emerald signifies the fifty-fifth anniversary. And celebrating their emerald anniversary Aug. 19 were Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Griswold, 1204 Circle drive, Pistakee Terrace. Best wishes to you both for another fifty-five years together. SPEEDY RECOVERY The many friends and neigh­ bors of Mary Prokop, 4116 Riverview, Sunnyside, send her warm and loving wishes for a speedy recovery. Mary, who has been confined to the McHenry hospital for the last few weeks, has been a resident of the area for some time. Your friends and neighbors hope you'll soon be back home again and well on the road to recovery. They all miss your smiling face. Get well quickly and hurry home.

He will be returning back to college in three weeks. We have met our goals for the basketball court. On behalf of all the children in Pistakee Terrace we appreciate the efforts of iril who donated to this project. Next project? Well, all I can say is that it's a surprise for boating adults! DOESANYONE REMEMBER STREETCARS? If so, this small joke may put a grin on your face. A man got on a street car and asked the conductor. "Does this car go to the Loop? " "No" says the conductor. "It goes ding- ding." County CETA One Of Top Rated In State The staff of McHenry County CETA had good reason to be happy last week when they received word that they were one of the top rated CETA organizations in the state. Jack Haffner, McHenry C.E.T.A. director informed his staff of their position at a meeting in the courthouse. C.E.T.A. is federally funded and is the tax dollar returning to the county in the form of jobs for the unemployed and veterans returning from active duty. Municipalities, agencies and sectors of private industry employ the clients from CETA and work with the CETA organization. C.E.T.A. is the Com­ prehensive Employment and Training act and not only helps put people back into the work force but will help them get a high school diploma and training on the job in order to have a marketable skill that in turn would offer some job security. For more information the C.E.T.A. office is located at 225 W. Judd street, in Woodstock. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 4:30. I TAX FACTS Most owners of large trucks, truck-tractors, or buses in Northern Illinois must file a Federal highway use tax return, Form 2290, by Aug. 31. The tax generally applies to single unit trucks weighing 13,000 pounds or more, to truck- tractors weighing 5,500 pounds or more, to trucks of 9,000 or more pounds equipped for use in combinations, and to buses with a taxable gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds, the Internal Revenue Service said. Revenue from the highway use tax program assists states in financing the Interstate Highway system, but the tax is imposed on those vehicles using any public highways, city streets, state roads and in­ terstate roadways. The tax year for the highway use tax begins July 1 and runs through the following June 30. For vehicles placed in service after July, Forms 2290 must be filed with the Kansas City Service center by the last day of the month following the month a vehicle is used on a public highway for the first time, the IRS added. Form 2290 and further in­ formation dn the proper filing of the Federal highway use tax returns can be obtained at the Chicago IRS District office. A handy reference is the free IRS Publication 349, "Federal Highway Use Tax."

ADDRESS CITY JZIP J Protect what yotfve put Into your life Most men think about life insurance when they first start a family. But the older your family gets, the more you need life insurance--and the more life insurance you need. The cost of living and children's financial needs grow with time. If your wife was sud­ denly left alone it would be tough for her to provide for your family. So if life insurance was a good idea 20 years ago, it's an even better idea to call your Country Companies agent and review your life protection today. The Country Companies.
