fAUE 22 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. APRIL 5, 1*78 McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344-1575 Law And Order Entrusted To New Policeman The last village board meeting was held Tuesday, March 28, and some good news was passed on. We have one new policeman in the form of Jim Wright. Applications are still being accepted by Gene Huff for another new policeman, so see him if you are interested in the position. Trustee Monty Yates has tendered his resignation as board member, and until a replacement is appointed, Tom Farrell will act as Health and Welfare commissioner. If you are interested in the trusteeship or would like to recommend someone for the position, contact Kurt Weisenberger. The new health ordinance will be published this week, and enforcement of the new or­ dinance will start immediately thereafter, so if you have junk laying around or bad-looking property, do something about it. Village stickers are supposed to be displayed by now, the deadline was March 30, and if you don't have yours yet, you are subject to a fine. Stop in at the village clerk's office, located at 4807 W. McCullom Lake road, Wednesdays bet­ ween 3 and 7, or call Lesley Curran, the clerk, and make arrangements to pick up your sticker. If you are thinking of remodeling or adding on to your home, please be sure to chock with building inspector, Frank Kurth, to see if you need a building permit. This could save you a fine. BEACH GALS Sandy Keith and her Easter committee did a fantastic job this year; the Penny carnival and Egg Uunt, despite the snow, came off very well, and Karen Parks is to be commended for the smooth way the contest ran. I think the carnival was more successful this year than ever, and, of course, the kids have to be the reason for that. The turnout was really terrific, and the hot dogs added a really nice touch to the festivities. Pretty 1978 Little Miss Mc­ Cullom Lake, Becky Box, and her court, first runner-up Lucy Gravely and second runner-up Janet Behrendt, have probably recovered from all the - ex­ citement; I probably never will. All the contestants are to be congratulated for a really fine job. The Beach Gals meeting is tonight, Wednesday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m., at the beach house. All village ladies are welcome. BOY'S BASEBALL There may or may not be a boy's baseball league this year, and it may all depend on you. The league desperately needs a president to help coordinate things, and at least one coach is needed to help out with the boys. If you are interested in either of these jobs, please contact Mrs. Vic Sarabia, and she will tell you everything you need to know. If you want to play ball, please go to Mrs. Sarabia's house and sign a letter of in­ tention, so that the league can get an idea of how many boys are actually ready to play. If there is not enough interest, there will be no little league this year in the village, so it is really important for you to go and sign up now. ANNIVERSARIES - BIRTHDAYS I'm so excited about having an anniversary to mention after four weeks, that I'm going to break my regular habit and tell you about the anniversary first.

Happy birthdays go this week to Roger Gates April 6; to Donna Gates and Joey Raycraft April 7; to Mary Carol Behrendt April 9; and to Billy Kuechel April 11. After the beautiful weather we've had, I hope your bir­ thdays are just as lovely. $16.7 Mi l l ion For Low Income H6U$trt§ Illinois has been awarded nearly $16.7 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and urban Development to subsidize 3,396 units of new and rehabilitated housing for low- inqome persons, the handicapped and a few elderly, announced A.D. Van Meter, Jr., chairman of the Illinois Housing Development authority.

Elm St McHenry, III. 385-0722 This Week's Migrant PURPLE MARTIN By Vernon Kleen Drawing by Aura Duke (This Week's Migrant" Series prepared and sponsored by the Illinois Audubon society) One of the best known and most written about birds of North America is the Purple Martin. Many people enjoy having this bird around because of its affinity for ridding yards and communities of undesirable insects. Since Purple Martins traditionally nest in colonies and since they readily associate with people, they are almost expected to accept and use man-made apar tment complexes specifically designed for them. Purple Martin colonies vary in size from two or three pairs in a single house to several hundred pairs in many houses. The Purple Martin is the largest member of the swallow family. Males have a glossy, purplish-blue head and body with blackish wings and tail giving them a darkish overall appearance-which leads to their confusion with blackbirds by the uninitiated and unap- preciative. Females are bluish- gray above and whitish below with grayish throats. As spring-like weather ad­ vances, martins appear. The vanguard of returninjg birds to the United States from their South American winter homes arrives in Florida and along the Gulf Coast in late Janaury or, more commonly, in February; the first to reach Illinois may arrive in early March, however, the majority appear in April. The males arrive several days ahead of the females. Homing back to the same nest boxes is not un­ common. Purple Martins formerly used natural cavities in dead trees or cliffs as nesting sites and still do in uninhabited areas; however, the majority now live in rural, suburban or urban environments where wooden or metal boxes placed on 15 to 20-foot high poles in open spaces attract them. The birds show no preference for the type or structure of nest boxes used as they accept almost anything, including gourds in the southern states, that provides adequate living space. The presence of a nearby pond or lake seems desirable, but is not a necessity. The only complaint about Purple Martins is the lack of birds as many people's boxes remain empty each year; unfortunately, there is no logical answer to the question of empty boxes which are adequate in size and properly located. Once Purple Martins arrive, you will know they are present because of their charac­ teristically loud, yet pleasing, gurgles and chattering. Their graceful flight, gentle ways and food habits-feeding entirely on insects caught on the wing- make them an extraordinary asset anywhere. Both the male and female share in nest-building duties; however, the female does most of the incubation of the four to five white eggs. Once the eggs are laid, it takes about two weeks for them to hatch; young birds require another three- and-one-half to four weeks before they are ready to leave the nest and once they have made their first flight, they regularly return to the nest for another week or two. During favorable conditions, Purple Martins are sometimes double- brooded. In August, large flocks of Purple Martins gather at communal roosts each night- often in company with robins and blackbirds; by early September they have all migrated south and Illinoisans truly miss them. The Purple Martin is one of very few species that has benefitted by the presence of modern man.

NAME ADDRESS CITY .ZIP MONEY BACK GUARANTEE FOR UNUSED PORTION" "Power Of Prayer" At Alliance Church April 9 Why should we pray? How should we pray? For what should we pray?

Lakeland Park & Lakeland Shores Sharon Gacek Anne Moore 385-3777 385-6448 Apathy Evident In Absence At General Meeting the annual general meeting of the Lakeland Park Property Owners association was so poorly attended last Sunday that there was no quorum, thus no actual meeting or voting could be held. Those who came to the community house did enjoy meeting the new Chief of Police George Pasenelli and enjoyed his presentation and are hopeful the people of McHenry will work with the new chief to make ours a better city in which to live. Jerry Raycraft, president of the McCullom Lake Con­ servation club, was also a speaker at the meeting and gave interested residents an idea of how dredging would progress this year. A special meeting has been set for Sunday, April 9, at 8 p.m. at the community house. This meeting has been called due to the fact that there was no quorum last week.

Warning On Fish Consumption A warning was issued recently by the Illinois Department of Public Health to persons who eat fish from Lake Michigan. Dr. Paul Q.

According to Peterson , removal of excess fa t from the fish before cooking and eating Lake Michigan fish no more than once a week if the fish weighs 7 pounds or more, are effective ways to reduce intake of PCBs. He said the warnings apply to fish pur­ chased in marke ts or restaurants. r' i i i DOES YOUR HOME QUALIFY? Vinyl Siding Siding mad* from B.F.
