STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Present Zoning Ordinance The Crystal Lake. McHenry and Woodstock Chambers of Commerce have joined together to present an in­ formational meeting of the proposed amendments to the McHenry County Zoning or­ dinance Wednesday, Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m. at the Woodstock Opera HdUse Slides of the county soil maps will be shown.

Seek Breathing Machines Residents who just might have an intermittent positive pressure breathing machine which is no longer in use, are being urged by the DuPage- McHenry Lung ̂ association in Glen Ellyn, to consider donating the machine to the association. "Some people might call these Bennett machines", said Henry B. Harper, Crystal Lake, first vice-president of the association. "With Christmas Seal funds, we have these breathing machines completely rebuilt with sterile parts and made ready for needy patients, most of whom are victims of emphysema. Sometimes, repairs run as high as $80 for just one machine," Harper added. RDG HEAR4NG CONTINUED (Continued from page 1) meaning more maintenance per unit." Babcock said the Com­ prehensive plan for the city, had Curran road planned for all single family development. Martin explained that the plan was general in its nature when it was written 10 years ago, and was not very specific with such small parcels of land. "The comprehensive plan is not a zoning ordinance," he said. "The proposal is very definitely consistent with the plan," the planner told the board. Martin explained that the commercial zoning planned for the corner of Bull Valley road and Crystal Lake road, would not be a major center, because there wouldn't be enough acreage. He indicated that the large conrimerical development planned for Route 120 and Draper road has easier access and enough acreage to serve the area. The planner related the first area to be developed in the proposed subdivision, would probably be the area adjacent „ to the Fox Ridge subvdivision, currently being completed by He explained that only the far southern portion of the sub­ division would not be within walking distance of the land planned to be donated to the ^ RDG city, possibly for a school location. The school location was selected in the center of the subdivision so most of the area was within the lMrmile radius, which requires no bussing. The zoning hearing will continue Friday, when three more witnesses are scheduled to testify before the board. THE BLIZZARD BRAZEN BLITZKRIEG (Continued from page 1) day or at night?" asked one unidentified driver. While most people praised the work of the city departments and ex­ pressed their gratitude, others wanted more to be done. Superintendent Meyer said at Monday night's Council meeting that one call he received was from a woman who was upset because she didn't receive mail because snow had been piled in front of her mailbox! "She told me, i guess I won't pay my taxes this year,' " Meyer said. Meyer and Mayor Stanek indicated that clearing roads was most important at the present time. Police Chief Pasenelli reported that a woman had called demanding the police department remove the snow from the roof of her home. P a s e n e l l i u r g e d residents to travel only for emergency purposes during snowstorms to keep r o a d s a s c l e a r f o r emergency vehicles as possible. And as McHenry con­ tinues to dig out of the deepest snow in anyone's memory, it is comforting to know that 29 days of winter have already passed. Now there are only 62 more days to worry about. 4 Seek Volunteers For J Hospital Emergencies Plans Near Completion For Church Unity Week In City McHenry hospital is seeking a registry of volunteers who are snowmobilers or owners of 4- wheel drive vehicles for assistance in the present, and in future weather emergencies.

Today's Youth BY PATRICK DUDGEON Plan Housing Before the crush of retirement is actually upon you. make plans for comfortable housing. A hasty decision regarding a place to live can ruin more than just one day! While retirement is possible in warm-weather areas, don't just • pull up stakes and move without some investigative work. Find out about costs and consider what moving will mean re­ garding friends and activities which are part of your regular routine. Be sure and vjsit any area you're considering moving to prior to taking the plunge. Stay as long as .you possibly can. Keep in mind that the "perfect climate" is actually a myth. Places that are warm and sunny, for example, can oftentimes be excessively humid during parts of the year. Also, remember that living costs in the United States are becoming fairly uniform through­ out the country -- especialy among metropolitan areas. Liv­ ing costs in non-metropolitan areas can sometimes be lower. But, it you're considering a move like that, make sure the area has the essentials a senior citizen needs to enjoy the time off you've earned.
