CbUNCIL STYMIED I ON REMEDY FOR INTERSECTION '(Continued from page 1) feasibility of constructing a water storage facility on the sotjth end of the city. The suggestion to examine the possibility of putting a water storage facility toward ther south came after a plan to put it on Sherman hill was altered * The discussion came about when Chuck Miller, owner of the Sand & Gravel company, offered to give the city land and $80,000 toward the construction of a standpipe on the hill. Miller's offer was prompted by his needs to have a certain amount of water available there. However, instead of con­ structing the standpipe on Sherman hill, the city is now examining locating it south, while at the same time using the money Miller irf offering, and putting in a booster pump which would carry the water to the top of the hill. The proposal was sent to the Sewer and Water committee for examination. The Council also voted to increase its insurance for squad cars to include the lights and siren on top of the vehicle. The city had to pay $550 for new lights and a siren on the new vehicle obtained when the one auto was demolished in an accident. Finally, O'Neill asked per­ mission from the city for his dealership to park autos on the empty piece of land at the corner of Rt. 120 and Front street. The land is owned by the state of Illinois, and O'Neill said that he would deal with the state if any problems arose. What he was asking was assurance that the city would Schaedel objected. GIVE COMMUNITY CENTER VIEWS (Continued from page 1) than one bid for the entire project. "All I'm saying is that there is no need to have the building like a Cadillac immediately," Stanek noted. The aldermen agreed that exactly what should go into the building, and therefore the total cost, is unknown at this time. The city also agreed to purchase a pickup truck for the sewer plant from Buss Ford. The low bid of $4,412 came from Buss Ford, and the delivery time, two-three weeks, was the shortest of any of the three bidders. The aldermen also passed a resolution indicating a willingness to either join a county-wide United Way, or form a McHenry United Way. The Council refused to permit a Kodak film drive-up building to be placed in the McHenry Market Place parking lot. Finally, the city agreed to purchase a street striping machine for $1,300 and a machine for tarring roads.

MAIN ST., McHENRY More than 100 exhibits have been submitted into evidence thus far, as the Concerned Citizens of McHenry vs. the city of McHenry and Edward Buss continued Thursday morning. The Concerned Citizens have completed their case, having taken nearly four days to present their side of the issue. Wednesday, Richard Gordon, attorney for the plaintiffs, called several homeowners from Edgebrook Heights subdivision to the stand. The defense was expected to present its case beginning Thursday morning. The Concerned Citizens of McHenry are suing the city and Buss to prevent the con­ struction of a car dealership on a six-acre piece of land along Rt. 31, east of Indian Manor restaurant and west of Edgebrook Heights. One of the residents testified Wednesday that she objected to the car dealership being con­ structed because it would adversely affect the value of nearby homes. The suit was filed earlier this year after the McHenry City Council voted to change the zoning of the land Buss owns froih residential to com­ mercial, thereby allowing the construction of an auto dealership. Mayor Joseph Stanek vetoed the Council action, which was contrary to the recom­ mendation of the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals. The Council then overrode the mayor's veto, and the lawsuit was the result. In a preliminary hearing before the trial began, Judge Michael Sullivan issued a temporary injunction against the city, preventing it from issuing any building permits for the construction of a car dealership to Buss. The injunction was lifted however, when the Concerned Citizens did not post a $50,000 bond, as mandated by the court. The bond money was to be posted to cover any damages Buss might incur due to a delay in construction because Of the injunction. The bond money would have been refunded if the Concerned Citizens won the case. Despite having the injunction lifted, construction on the auto dealership has not yet begun. Goodwill Industries Thanks -For-Giving Month Is Observed November is the national Thanks-for-Giving month for Goodwill Industries. The disabled clients benefit from the financial contributions, the clothing and materials donations which have helped them to help themselves. A total of 1,676 tons of materials were donated in 1977. In an interview with A1 Soldwish, community relations director, he stated: "Without this support, the Abilities Center Goodwill Industries could not have provided jobs, training and evaluation for 500 handicapped and disabled people or paid nearly $280,000 in wages to these workers. Ten years ago the agency paid out $179,000 showing a gain of $200,000. „ "During the past year the Scouts, school childreflu churches and other friends of Goodwill contributed over 25,000 hours of volunteer time in collection drives," Soldwish continued. About forty regular volun­ teers helped Goodwill this ydar, while ten years ago the agency had the help of 107 volunteers. This does not include Scouters, school and church personnel who annually assist in collection drives. To date Goodwill has served 471 clients in 1977, while ten years ago only 179 were in the program. Also this year over fifty-two clients have been placed in public job:) in industry and business, while ten years ago some thirty-nine were placed. Abilities Center Goodwill Industries, the oldest and largest evaluation center in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, is a non-profit, non- sectarian agency, locally controlled and operated ser­ ving only the area disabled. Soldwish concluded with this , # statement:-"Thesupport giVeir j Goodwill me&ns a fulfillment of its objective. The agency provides counseling, guidance, and job experience to the physically disabled, the mental and emotionally disturbed, the ex-drug addicts and the alcoholics".

It helps produce important body substances. But cholesterol tends to deposit on the walls of the arteries with advancing age. The amount of cholesterol in your body is not only controlled by what you eat but it is also produced by the intestinal tract and liver. Opinions on the desirable levels of cholesterol vary greatly. The "normal" range is generally regarded as between 170 and 240. Genetic factors, including eating habits, and exercise are considered important in deter­ mining cholesterol levels in the body. Saturated fat in the diet is believed to increase cholesterol levels and diets rich in polyun­ saturated fats to contribute to reducing them. Your diet, then, is the first step in cholesterol control. COAST TO COAST STORE 4400W. RTE. 120, McHENRY INDOOR RODEO -SATURDAY.
