We would have preferred that structure included among National Historic Landmarks, and we were told officially it had a good chance for that selection. Or we would have preferred that it . be .made usable as a one-way bridge to ease congestion, or to become a pedestrian-bicycle pathway and retain a link with some of the proud history that belongs to McHenix We saw the need for another bridge, but in another location which would not add to the present high concentration of vehicles in a limited space. But others saw it differently, hence the new structure where it stanrfc Now our thoughts of the future take us to the day when it, too, may become a land­ mark. Will other leaders meet oppostion when, and if, they should decide to destroy and build again? For now we must offer congratulations for a big job completed on time and hope it will serve our community well. But don't be surprised if we sneak a chuckle the first icy morning some driver rounds the corner and can't make the incline -- unless we're that driver.

"The employees of the McHenry post office are doing an extraordinary job of processing and delivering the large holiday mail volume with dispatch and efficiency. The general public can assist further by shopping and mailing as early as possible," he added. Those sending gifts and , greetings to military personnel ' stationed outside of the United States and to friends in foreign countries should consult. the local post office for suggested mailing dates to overseas^ destin s. „7*-7 The Tea Party One of the fateful days in the history of this country was December 16th, 1773-two hundred four years ago. On that day sixteen colonials, disguised as Indians, boarded a ship in Boston Harbor and threw its cargo of tea into the water. It's impossible to completely justify this single incident and behavior. It must be recognized that some of the incentive for it stemmed from ethnic anti-British sentiments and earlier actions. And the colonies weren't represented in Parliament. London had sought to impose stamp taxes in the colonies but the reaction had been so strong Parliament removed most of them, leaving only a tax on tea. The East India Company had then arranged to lower the price on tea so that it was about the same as if there had been no tax. But that didn't satisfy the revolutionaries. They refused to accept the tax in principle, and dumped the tea overboard anyhow. Parliament responded by moving the capital of Massachusetts from Boston to Salem and closed Boston Harbor to all commerce. The bitterness which resulted from these actions was a contributing factor to the revolt of the colonies a few years later. 7 MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS EVE EARLY.
