STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD New members were greeted by the congregation at the 10:45 worship service Sunday, Dec. 19, at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry. The new members were in­ troduced' to the congregation at a special point in the worship service and. received a certificate of church membership from Pastor Roger Schneider. All of the new members stood in a receiving line at the door of the church to be greeted by the members of the parish. In the near future, the new mem­ bers will be guests of honor at a new member reception to be sponsored by the Evangelism committee in the fellowship hall of the church. New members received were Lee Drinking-Driving Talk With Teens Encouraged Before teenagers are given per­ mission to use the family car on a Friday or Saturday evening, parents should discuss with them the dangers of driving and drinking, Richard Tippie, a safety specialist with the National Safety Council, said. "Talk with your youngsters, but dont' lecture them" he advised. "The essential element in a successful family drunk driving program is co imunication. Communication based on a sympathetic un­ derstanding of the special problems of adolescence." As the leading cause of death for persons between the ages of 15 and 24, motor-vehicle accidents are a year- round problem. However, they can be even more tragic during the holidays, a time of the year usually filled with togetherness and joyfulness. During the holiday period, the National Safety Council is asking everyone to join its Holiday Lifeline campaign which encourages persons to "follow some logical guidelines to help preserve everyone's health and happiness." Parents, Tippie said, can find out what their youngsters think about drinking and driving. Discuss the laws governing drunk driving in your community. What are the con­ sequences of breaking these laws? Loss of license? Jail? Canceling of insurance?" nhU>" :i9T,'M"eb :.d Brondy and Lois Brondy; Gary, Stephanie, Gary Jr:, and Joshua Bush, Ruth, Jennifer, and Aaron Cepuder, Pat Doherty, Guy Haines, Jeff Harth, Albert and Joseph Jette, Thomas, Margaret Lotito, Thomas, Jr., and Kathleen Lotito, Thomas, Rene, and Jessica May, Dorothy Rose, Richard, Sherry, Shannon, Christopher, and Shaun Wagner. Jf your children are going out with a friend, ask them what they'd do if the friend had too much to drink and wanted to drive, he said. Would they volunteer to drive instead? Would they call home, no matter how late, and ask if someone can pick them up and drive them home? Another approach is explaining the designated driver program, he stated. In this program, one person, the designated driver, remains sober all evening and is responsible for seeing that everyone gets home safely. He said this approach "may appeal to your youngsters because it shows respect for their maturity and sense of responsibility." Above all, he said, make sure your teenagers know that you consider their safety more important than getting the car home, "and that as far as you are concerned, no conceivable circumstances could ever justify driving after excessive drinking." bv Antzela Burden SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE Some candidates for the April 12 municipal election were scrambling for enough signatures on their nominating petitions recently after realizing they needed 10 times more than they were told originally. In Woodstock, candidates were told the amount of signatures needed on the petitions was one-half of 1 percent of voters in the 1981 election -- about 25 signatures. Later, they learned the hum- ber of signatures needed was not less than 5 percent nor more than 8 percent of electors voting in the municipality for the last mayoral election -- about 250 signatures. The consolidated election law seemingly had some city and village clerks confused. McHenry City Clerk Barbara Gilpin said the filings in her city ran smoothly. "I attended the election law seminar conducted in September by State Election board officials at e McHenry County college and if I had any questions I called the state board in Springfield," Mrs. Gilpin said. But she said she was surprised when the filing dates were announced. "It threw everyone's timetable off. Before, we've always had filings in January. "I sent out news releases on the dates and requirements and the notices were published," she said. Mrs. Gilpin also notified incumbent aldermen and supplied them with information in advance. "Announcements were made at the council meetings, which were broadcast over cable television," she said. Harvard City Clerk P. Michael Bannwolf said he. attended the elec­ tion law seminar at the county college. "The clerks were told there were no changes from the last election," Bannwolf said. But, the law was "interpreted differently" by the clerks, he added. Bannwolf said he has reassured local officials that everything is in order. "There was some confusion but it has been straightened out," he said. The confusion in some municipalities is because this year the filing dates are divided. Candidates in municipalities with more than 5,000 population were to file between Dec. 6 and 13 and candidates in municipalities with less than 5,000 population must file petitions between Jan. 24 and 31. The election law also allows a newly created political party, which has a full slate of candidates for each open position, to file during the January dates. -a? McHenry County Clerk Rosemary Azzaro said 12 of the 27 municipal clerks in the county attended the seminar. -i'>'iJ >. ' The county clerk is not inVolved with municipal elections. But, Ms. Aezaro said, she is willing to assist with advice whenever possible. "It is the responsibility of the municipal clerks to get filing dates and procedures lined up. It is then my responsibility to make certification after the candidates have filed their petitions," she said. Ms. Azzaro suggested municipal Guest Speaker At Area Church Pastor Merle D. Conklin and the members of the congregation of the Wonder lake Bible church welcome all to join them in worship and fellowship. Sunday School for all ages begins at 9:30 a.m., morning worship at 10:50 a.m. This Sunday, Pastor Conklin's message is titled, "A Dream Realized" (Luke 2:25-35). At the 6 p.m. Bible Fellowship hour, the speaker will be Ed Brainerd of Lancaster, Pa., area representative for Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. He is the brother of Charlene Conklin, and he and his family are visiting the Conklins over the Christmas holidays. Also spending some tine-vWith the Conklins is Charlene s mother from Peoria.

Hill has announced.
