PAGE 10 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MAY 30,1970 Your Police Department by Officer Jim Fitzgerald Public Relations Officer McHenry City Police Phone 385-2131 Now that the whole country is having a gas shortage problem, and dealers supplies are get­ ting less and less, one of our old problems is on the rise again, but this time it is coming back with a real vengence. Many of you have gone to bed at night knowing that the gas tank in your vehicle is full, and are waking up to find that most or all of the gas has been taken out of your vehicle by someone. Not only that, but the person who is taking the gas isn't being careful about it,and he is breaking the gas tank caps and sometimes messing up the tube from the outside to the tank. Granted, the newer cars now make it a little more difficult to take the gas,but it is still fairly easy to get the gas if it is wanted bad enough. Here are a few things that you can do to make it harder to get the gas from your car, and make the thief work more for his ill-gotten gains. First, and easiest, get one of those lock- type gas caps for the tank. These work with a key, and are almost impossible to remove without the key. Second, there is a small spring-like device that you put into the filler tube, and it slides down the tube and lodges there. Gas can be put into the car with no problem, but you cannot put a hose or tube down the filler tube to remoye the gas, which makes it impossible to take the gas. Thirdly, place the car next to or inside the garage and close the door. Or, if you don't have a garage, park the car with the rear end next to the house (if the gas cap is in the rear of the car), or next to another car or a tree, or something so that the cap is blocked by something if the cap is on the side of the car. In other words, make it im­ possible to get to the gas cap so that the person can't get the cap open. Be aware of strange vehicles or people in your neighborhood, and if something or someone looks like he may be up to something, call the police department and report it. If the person has a vehicle, try and obtain a vehicle description and a license plate number or get a description of the person so you can tell the officer what or whom to look for. Also, when an offender is caught by the police, please follow through and sign a complaint against the of­ fender if you are sure that we have the correct person. If enough offenders are convicted and fined, maybe others will think twice before trying to steal gasoline. Spring, and-or summer are, more or less, here now, and with the warmer season comes the usual increase in traffic through town. People are getting out more now, and they are shopping, visiting, and going to their summer "houses" out in the "boonies" for a vacation, or just for the weekend. If ever there was a time for everyone to be on their toes and to drive with extra care, now is the time. What with the almost constant flow of traffic on Elm nd Green street, and some of the other busier streets, it may seem impossible to enter the flow from a parking lot, or a side street, or to change lanes safely, etc. A little extra patience, and giving yourself more time to get to and from your destinations will save you much heartache, and could save you from having an accident. We all know how bad the traffic is in town on a Frioday or Saturday; you can figure that it is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. For safety sake, check you vehicle for burned out turn signals and brake lights, broken headlights, etc., and then remember to use them all the time. There, is nothing as scary as driving along behind someone and having them suddenly stop in front of you, and you never saw a brake light or a turn signal because they wer« not operating. Remember to use your turn signals while changing lanes and-or turning at the corner, and obey the posted speed limits and stop signs and lights. All the traffic control devices are there for your protection and safety, so make sure that you pay at­ tention to them. There is no point in getting a ticket and having your day ruined by your not paying attention or having an accident. Drive safely and enjoy the summer. All of you CB'ers can help us out this summer, and for that matter, all year long, as you are driving along. If you should happen across an accident or a stalled motorist, or whatever, give us a call on your CB. All of the McHenry city police department squad cars have CB's installed, and we all monitor them, either on Channel 9 or 19. Simply break for a McHenry squad, or for any of the REACT units that are always on the air, and they will get the information to the proper police agency. Also, in McHenry, we have an Illinois state police monitor, in the person of the "Gopher", who stands by on 19 during the week, and on 9 on the weekends. You can break either for "the Gopher" or for "Illinois state police monitor", Lakemoor Margaret Karas and she will answer. Sometimes I think that lady never sleeps, she's on the air so much! Her call letters are "KBF 9847"; and remember yours too; she'll ask for them, and it is one of the CB rules that you use them whenever you use the CB. Have a nice week! -Lilymoor 385-4934 \1( )\ K ,< ) V\I K'V IMM A 11 Automotive values SALE ENDS SAT.

GRADUATION TIME Leaving the known and going into a new environment is always an exciting and somewhat fearful time. With the feeling of accomplishment at the ceremony which marks the ending of the first eight year period of schooling, comes also a sadness, because that time is now gone. Congratulations to these youngsters who are graduating from Parkland junior high on May 31, at 7 p.m.; Patty Chambers, Candy Freeman, Denise Godt, Deia May, Patrick Mieszala, Maria Nejedly, Jill Spears and Christina Watkins. Special personal wishes go to Patty, Deia, Patrick and Chris, as I have watched them grow through most of their school years. The knowledge gained in these first eight years, will be a good foundation for the plans School District 156 has for the development of young adults. Congratulations to all graduates at this com­ mencement time. ROYAL FLUSH bAYS Connie O'Rourke, in charge of the "Bike and Trike" .parade, is accepting '/registrations for the children's entries. The line-up will start at the municipal building in Lakemoor at 10 a.m. There is a small registration fee, which will be used for the prize money for the funniest and most original decorated bicycles in the various age groups. Let the kids join in the fun. Call 385-8574 for information. * The Carnival will be at the Lakemoor beach area on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. See you there. LILY LAKE INFORMATION The Lily Lake Conservation club will have a booth at Lakemoor s Royal Flush days. Joe DeMarco, Roger Barker, and Donna Petersen are among the planners.

LIBRARY PLANS AND ACTIVITIES June 1 is the date that summer hours will be in effect at the McHenry Nunda library on Lily Lake road. Tuesdays,. Thursdays and Fridays, the library will open at 1 p.m., and Saturdays at 11 a.m. A "Monster" summer reading program is planned for the youngsters.

Curt and Ruth Freeman will be enjoying their twenty-third anniversary the first ddy of June. Marion and Don Leske also had a June wedding 33 years ago on the fourth. Ah, springtime. Birthdays to be honored this week included Clarence Eggert's on May 30. Chuck Zabroski starts off the month of June with his birthday on the first day. June 4 finds Billy Goebel 10 years old, and Toni Yerkes just enjoying the date and ignoring the years, as many of us do. Herb Zabroski's day is June 6. Make a happy memory, you- all NEW ADDITION Andrew James Holzrichter arrived May 21. a healthy baby boy of 7 lbs., 10 oz., and 20 in­ ches long. He is now home with his mother and father, Mary and Jim Holzrichter, and is being watched over by five- year old sister Healther and two-year old brother, Jimmy. Grandparents Louise and Don Hipwell are happy that mother and baby are doing well, and that they will all have another baby to enjoy. FISH STORY Jerry Weber had an exciting day, Sunday, May 20, fishing on Lake, Michigan. Ten coho salmon were among the fish landed by Jerry and his three friends, as they ventured miles out into the big lake. Jerry started the trip at 2 a.m., and wasn't back until 5 p.m. A lot of water, wind and the thrills of catching some big ones, made this day of Jerry's at-home vacation a story to remember. LESSON LEARNED? Bottles thrown on roadsides have long been a challenge to persons walking along the streets. Glass and rocks seen at the same time are an irresistible combination. Two youngsters found it not such fun though, when they were seen breaking a bottle on Lily Lake road, and then made to pick up the pieces. Jim and Robbie were asked if something was learned, and they did agree that broken glass on the road could cause an accident, plus it just didn't look good. Let's hope the next bottles thoughtlessly thrown on the roadside, will be picked up and disposed of, rather than broken, leaving the splintereto perhaps cause pain. CANADIAN CAPER Don Hipwell visited with his mother and friends in Canada for nine days. The main pur­ pose of the trip was to attend his mother's wedding and to "give her away", assisted by his brother and sister. His role in the ceremony was similar to that which Louise's children did for her, when she and Don were married. Strange how situations seem to repeat. Don enjoyed the trip and the renewing and deepening of family relationships and friendships. On his return, he and Louise had a whole week of living apart to share with each other.

A Baltimore Oriole has selected his territory to be the tall maples, boxelders and willows surrounding our home All day long he is repeating his strong, "che-ta, che-ta, che-ta, che ta ta," to inform his winged friends that this is where his home will be. What joy and beauty he brings to us, making the desolation caused by the preparation of the spoils area for the saving of Lily Lake, not quite so sorrowful.
