PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 16,1981 So I Hear Biff Meyer, a country boy who moved to the big city, clipped out a part of a recent column regarding butter, cholesterol, vegetable oils, cancer and carbohydrates and pasted it on a sheet of paper -- then added a headline that tells us a carrot a day may keep cancer away. A footnote reads: " Don't despair -- help is on the way." Esther didn't add "Me too" as she did on a doozy of a birthday card. The mail is good. Anne Barrow sends in her subscription renewal with GOSH! CHRISTMAS, AGAIN WELL HAPPY DAYS! DON & JUNE HOENES STEP 1 SIMILAR SAVINGS ON ADDITIONAL ROOMS OR FURNITURE CLEANING kind words about this column. She's my kind of gal! Another reader (no name) sends a clipping with the kind of note that gives a fellow a lift. Enclosed were the following: Do all the good you can -- In all the ways you can - To all the people you can - As long as ever you can. John Wesley Some of your hurts you have cured And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you endured From evils that never arrived! Ralph Waldo Emerson ("Anxiety") Just a week ago, Dan Justen told me he liked S.I.H. on page 4 fnuch better than searching for it in the sports section. That same Dan Justen phoned after the last issue to say he and Vern Sund took note of the fact that the obituaries appeared next to the column. They wondered if ma-" nagement was trying to give me a message. I suggested they put an ad between us (Funerals arranged at your con­ venience). Another license plate: AGE 98 That's getting up in years. Too old for a driver's license. "What do you think of the Cube getting Fergie Jenkins back?", asked Joe Wagner. Great. Now if they had Pat Malone, Charlie Root and Guy Bush -- The annual Plaindealer Christmas Party was held Thursday night at Chapel Hill Country Club. Good food, good time and a real happy note. Louis Blomgren came with his bride on his arm. "Queen Irma" ha a tough bout with illness, but came up smiling. Friends made her feel as welcome as the flowers in May. It doesn't take much to get my friend "Zeke" off and wingin'. My mention of "Flash Walsh" was all he needed to start an in­ teresting letter.

Transportation was limited in those days (no RTA) so we stayed over­ night in homes. Listening to a crystal set radio after the games is another recollection men­ tioned. My mention of 1 cent and 3 cent postage stamps brought out an observation from the "Arizona Kid". Out i there the light air seems to clear your head. Yep. That rings a bell when you recall that local letters could be mailed for 2 cents. A carrier with horse and buggy carried one sack of mail from one side of the creek to the other. Here are a couple of little gems in the letter sparked by mention of "Flash Walsh": "Here's one for you - A lot of men would go further if they knew the difference between a wise guy and a wise man." "Well, Earl, get ready for Christmas and get your resolutions all set for 1982. Making them is sort of like building a boat in the basement, easy to make but hard to carry out!" Thanks for writing, "Zeke". You helped put together another column. MCC Card Design Winner^ Shown discussing the paper selection for this year's MCC Christmas card are, from left, photography instructor Denis Bancroft, MCC student Donna Tidier, who designed this year's Christmas card, and MCC President Robert C. Bartlett. Donna Tidier is the winner of this year's contest to design the official Christmas card for McHenry County college. Tidier, a part-time MCC student, submitted a photograph of an abandoned mine in the mountains of Utah as her entry for the contest. The photo is one she took while skiing and submitted to fulfill an assignment in an MCC photography course taught by Denis Bancroft. This is the second time that she has entered the contest which selects a design for the official college Christmas card sent to more than 1,000 friends of the college, local and state agencies and educators with the signatures of College President Robert C. Bartlett and his wife, Rosemary. Ms. Tidier, who lives in Crystal Lake with her husband, Dean, and their three chidlren, is in her third semester of photography studies at MCC. She is ac­ tively involved in photography as a hobby and also has taken MCC courses in natural sciences as well as in art. The beige card featuring Ms. Tidler's photograph wiS also be available in the MCC , bookstore so that students and others can use the card for their own Christmas mailing. McCullom Lake Dawn Miller Board Passes Ordinance The first village board meeting of the month was held Tuesday evening, Dec. 8, at the beach house and a problem was brought up about house numbers. Your house numbers should be visibly displayed, not just for people to locate your house, but in case of a fire or another emergency. It is to your benefit to display these numbers. A new ordinance, 6B, was passed. This ordinance has to do with an increase in v e h i c l e s t i c k e r s . Automobiles will be $10; trucks licensed A, B, or RV will be $15; trucks licensed C or D will be $30; and trucks licensed E through DB, but all said trucks to be licensed only by the approval of the village board, will be $100. Proceeds from the ad­ ditional revenue will be used for road maintenance. Another new ordinance passed was 52B, which deals with parking in the village rights of way when snowplowing is going on or may be required. It is unlawful to park any motor vehicle within 18 inches of the improved surface of any street in the village at any 385-4901 time when snowplowing is going on or may be required. Any motor vehicle found to be in violation of this or­ dinance will be ticketed and may also be towed away at the owner's expense. The next village board meeting will be Tuesday, Dec. 22, at 7 p.m., at the beach house. Please note the time change for this meeting. It will be held one hour earlier than usual.

THE GAS PUMP COLD-START AID : > Cranking power from the battery can be reduced great­ ly by cold weather. To pre­ vent this, place a 100-watt bulb under the hood near the battery. This will short­ en cold-morning warm up time and help stop fuel line freeze-up plus warm the engine oil. The faster the warm up the more gasoline you save. . A t
