When the kids are getting a bit too boisterious, try this strategy: As each child arrives, he picks a number from a Christmas stocking. A duplicate set of numbers is kept in a brightly-wrapped box. Then, when thing are getting overly boisterious, signal drawing time by ringing a bell or flicking the light on and off. Draw a number from the box and the child with that number gets to choose his prize from the basket of gifts. The little expense of the prizes is well-spent since it helps to keep the party more pleasant. .

The building funds ap­ propriation was hiked $40,000, from $320,000 to $360,000, because the proposed Valley Hi Nursing Home addition costs came in $275,000 more than expected, creating an additional $40,000 annual levy. Hie cost of improvements at Valley Hi, including con­ struction, bonding and fur­ nishings, will amount to $2,125,000, up from the projected $1.8 million. The Valley Hi levy was ex­ pected to be mcluded on tax bills for the next two years for the construction work. However, with the additional $275,000 expenditure, the levy will probably last for a period of 15 years. tlx warm beauty and charm of naturt' wist The McHenry Plaindealer invites area youngsters to write letters to Santa, which will be printed in a special Christmas Supplement published Wednesday, December 14th. m (Eountqj Squire Restaurant & Counge Relax in ihe elegant surroundings of the beautiful Wesley Sears coun try estate with a picture window dining room overlooking 13'A acres of beautiful grounds.
