Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Simple Logic: No Dues Paid, No Road Work The Lilymoor Association has been trying to keep the subdivision roads cleared, but the fund made up of the $20 fee asked of residents for road care is almost depleted. If the road in front of your home is not plowed, the reason may be that this service was not paid for. For current members who are having access difficulty, the association is working hard to get those roads open. This is another case of needed cooperation by all residents. When no money is paid in for plowing, the snow becomes an individual problem instead of a problem of the assocation. ' Help yourself, help your neighbor, help your subdivision by paying your yearly dues to the Lilymoor assocation. Jerry Weber is the current president, and he and other officers, in­ cluding secretary Carolyn Rasmussen, are doing everything they can to alleviate the snow problem. With the cooperation of all the people in Lilymoor, the battle of the Big Deep will be won. LOYALTY AND DEDICATION In this time of constant change, working for one con­ cern for 35 years is quite outstanding. Helen Donovan started with A.B. Dick com­ pany in 1943, when both she and the company were in Chicago. The plant moved to Niles, and Helen moved to Lakemoor, and ever since, she has been driving into work every day. Helen tKs honored for her long service Dy a luncheon in Morton Grove, given by the company's vice- president. Helen even dove in the Monday of the Big Snow of 1979. She also got home again, after getting stuck in a snow bank which caused a tire to come off the rim. She did miss work Tuesday, however, due to catching cold. Congratulations to Helen on completing 35 years of service. She is actually thinking of retiring this year, so perhaps this will be her last year of fighting traffic and snow banks. THOSE SLIPPERY STREETS Anna Starzyk is another victim of the snow and ice. She must have the record for the most falls on leaving the postoffice in McHenry. Three times she slipped and went down on Green street, enroute to her car and her husband, Paul, who was waiting and fearfully watching her progress. Fortunately, only bruises, aches and pains resulted. Anna is now back at the shop. She did spend Monday in bed and Paul stayed home to take care of her. This was the second time Paul has not gone to work at the shop since he began working there, and both times, the man replacing him was injured. We're grateful that Paul was not hurt. Almost seems as if someone is wat­ ching over him, doesn't it? DOG TALES The fenced-in dogs are Record Dividends Are Due Veterans having a great time due to the deep snow. Noticed one of the pair of Malmutes on Lily Lake road had easily jumped the fence, while his playmate stood up inside, jealously watching. It must be a problem foF dog owners to keep the deep snow cleared from the fences to make sure their pets remain enclosed. BIRTHDAY WISHES Even the birthday list for this fourth week of January is short. Dianne Dember has her day the 24th. Jerry Brizzi and Brian O. Baker both celebrate on the 28th. May the coming year be long on joys and short on problems for all birthday celebrants. A "STARTLING" STORY Imagine coming home after work to the house you left neat and clean in the morning, to find evidence of invasion, but no invader! Until you go into the bathroom, where you are attacked by an unknown flying assailant. Maggie Dunnagan was really frightened, but having had past experiences with flying squirrels, knew how to chase an unwanted, univited starling out of the house. How the bird got inside, neither Mag nor Rich have been able to determine.Friend Ross Ran­ dolph of Holiday Hills had a similar experience, only his was a "harrowing" one. In­ stead of a star lingattack, he and Jean were twice invaded by sparrows, which can be just as unsettling. One bird was demolished by their dog, but the other managed to regain its freedom And yet another exciting bird story. Watching the assorted wild life over Lily Lake last Friday, we were amazed to see a large white bird with tannish spots on its back and wing tips, quietly sitting on a dead tree branch. It was surrounded by Six cawing crows. Looking in our bird books, it seemed to fit the description of the Snowy Owl of the.Artie north which occasionally finds its way down into the U.S. Checking with bird watcher, Miss Clark, and then with Mrs. Charles Kane, who is an authority on owls, we may have seen a rare bird for our area. That would be an exciting sighting for amateur bird watchers. The crows finally won out, and chased (or followed) the beautiful specimen toward Moraine Hills Park. If anyhone can verify our snowy owl sighting call 385- 4934. COMMUNITY CALENDER Feb. 3 -- Fun Fair, Hilltop School, 1-4 p.m. Put on by Hilltop Parents Organization.

GOD BLESS A record $25 million in dividends will be paid during 1979 to 215,538 Illinois veterans holding GI life insurance policies. Donald R. Ramsey, director of the VA regional office in Chicago, made the announcement this week. No application is needed, Ramsey said. Individual policy holders who have kept their GI insurance in force from World War I, World War II or the Korean conflict will receive their payments automatically on the anniversary dates of their policies. The 4,169 World War I holders will receive an average of $256 each, up from $224 in 1978, for an aggregate of $1,117,000. The 175,121 Illinois World War II veterans who have kept their policies in force will receive $22,150,000, or about $128 each, up $11 from last year. Wildlife Project The 36,248 Korean conflict veterans will receive an average of $48 up from $29 last year. Those who have kept their GI insurance will receive a total of $1,866,000. Ramsey said individual amounts will vary depending on the type of policy, amount of insurance, age at issue or renewal and the time the policy has been in force. The 1979 GI insurance dividends, like other insurance dividends, are higher in recent years because the funds on deposit have earned more interest. Dividends on VA in­ surance policies represent a return of funds not needed to pay the cost of the insurance. Nationally, $485 million will be paid to 4 million veterans who have kept their insurance in force. Toxic Substance Study The National Wildlife federation has received a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection agency to carry out a toxic substances project. The end product of the study will be a citizen's participation hand­ book, for use by individuals and citizens groups as well as by state and local toxic substances regulators. Dr. Edward Segel, of Chevy Chase, Md., has joined NWF.the nation's largest citizens' conservation organization, s coordinator of the project. Segel, who holds a Ph.D. degree in physical- organic chemistry from the Univesity of Chicago, was formerly vice-president of the United States Brewers association. He holds nearly a dozen patents and has been published in numerous scientific journals. * As coordinator of NWF's toxic substances project, Segel will meet with experts from BIBLE VERSE "And this is life eter­ nal: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent. 1.
