Sick Call We were sorry to hear that Mr. Pitt has been ill and we hope that he is lots better by now. 'Mr. Gartner is up and around again after a recent operation. He is taking a little fresh air lately but is very careful on the icy streets and walks. Mr. Measles is making a few calls on the younger set of the community. Most of the five Finger boys are down with them and so is Billy Jackson at '.ast reports.. Here In The Highlands Wayne Taylor is off for the service to ft. Leonard Wood on Feb. 19 and he had a big party in 4iis Honor last Sunday at his home. Lots of his friends, relatives and neighbors were present to say goodbye and to help him celebrate. We wish him loads of luck. Cletis Stewart had a small ?roup of gals %nd their offspring in for a little luncheon '.ast Friday. With five gals and about a dozen kids it was slightly noisy but no one seemed to mind too much and a good time1 was had by all. People usually give blood for their friends but Mrs. Taylor was called upon to donate some blood for her doctor who has been, in the hospital. She was glad to be able to help out. There was a small get together of girls at the Vi Johnson homestead last week to roffee klatch and have a game of cards. They should be getting to be quite the card sharks by now. Those Bnsy Schlicks The Schlicks have been busy chicks as usual this month.

The house will still be full on the twenty-third when the bunch from their card club comes out from the" city to visit with their families. Never a dull moment around the Schlick household. Snow Removal With all the heavy snow this winter I'm sure that everyone is very glad that the association has contracted the Thelens to keep the roads in shape so everyone can get in and out to their jobs. As of last week's meeting the association - members agreed to pay close to $600 for the good job done already this year. But unfortunately everyone is not sharing in the cost of this operation. Those who have paid their as- ! sociation dues have paid their ' Page Thirteen share since the money came from the association treasury. This includes only about 75 percent of the residents of the community. But the other 25 per cent are still using the roads that are nicely shovelled and still- ^ge/tting to their jobs on time. They are still able to get up the steeper hills since they have been sanded as part of the snow, removal contract. The night of the snow storm the tractors were out all night to keep the road open for early commuters. None of us here are rich or have money to waste, but surely when it comes to spending $5 a year to keep our roads free from 'snow so we can get to our jobs and homes, we can't afford not to pay it. No one would ask his neighbor to come and shovel his road off or even his drive without paying him for it or returning the favor. But that is just one of the unfair things you are doing if you refuse to join the association and to pay your dues. Snow removal is* just one of the many benefits paid for by your community association. Why not pay your dues today and support these benefits. Remember,' this is your community because you chose it. It does not belong to McHenry or Fox Lake but to you apd your next door neighbor. Why not work together with him to make it a good community? ROAD CONTRACTS First contracts in Gov. William G. Stratton's 1958 Illinois highway construction program were awarded by the state Division of Highways. Director E. A.
