Ihunda;. Sipiember 1, 1960 tHE McHENRY PLAINDEALER -mi-- Page Nina Wonder Lake REGISTRATION TO EXPEDITE MAIL DELIVERY AT LAKE Jane Dncey Postmaster Paul Eberle says will shortly distribute to e^ch family in the postal area a registration blank for the listing of each child in the family as well as any adult receiving his mail in the box of the householder in question. He plans to bring the mail registration oi the community up to date as soon as possible. Eberle pointed out that book clubs and similar promotional <4ganizations have a lot of children's names on their mailing lists, and "Johnny Smith, RFD 1, Wonder Lake" could belong to any number of Daddy Smiths. The postmaster is also interested in obtaining a better address System on our two "heavy duty" routes. He had been considering a box numbing system for the two rurroutes. Both of the&fe problems must be cleared up before the Christmas mail starts this year, he stressed. JPlease cooperate by filling in your registeration blank completely and quickly, and the post office will repay you with efficient mail delivery. Fire Department Has Its § Problems Too ^he fire department is sponsoring a new system of identification of the homes in the aren to expedite the work of the fire fighters in answering calls. There has been a growing awareness at the fire department of the need of more precise identification of area homes to insure prompt response to the fire alarm. Wk. meeting of various subdivision representatives and firemen was called Wednesday at the home of Horace Wagner to hear W. H. Tammeus of Woodstock outline a permanent home numbering system for both sides of the Lake. The system devised by ^Tammeus pin points each home and would serve all utility compares as well as the post office and fire department. The system meets with the approval of Postmaster Eberle in that it would assign a number to each householder. His need is that it be in use in time for the Christmas season of heavy mail. The fire department says residents reporting a fire can not always tell which subdi- ^ion thjey are in and the firemen no longer know all the people. A fire number Would tell them (himedlately where the fire was located. Harrison School ' An unofficial count of 397 registrants excluding«kindergarten was released by "Harrison school Monday afternoon. J£ndergarten registration was held Monday afternoon and Tuesday. On the basis of past year's experience a total of 500 students is anticipated. Some families are still on vacation and other late registrations will come from families not yet settled for the school year. There's not much chance of a*snow blocked road to school tnis winter with the newly graded, widened and blacktopped road leading to Harrison. Another improvement, not only in appearance but in cutting down on the mud tracking in the corridors, is the blacktopping of the drive in front of the school and in the parking lot. ^The additional surfacing of the lot will also provide an enlarged play area -for recess during the muddy weather. For Your Information The following is a verbatim cfopy of a letter from E. L. .tacobson, president of the Wonder Lake Syndicate, to W i l l i a m L i e d t k e , a d v i s o r y baard chairman, dated July 25, 1960. The advisory board felt it would be of general interest. "Thank you for letter of the twentieth, and for your .efforts in maintaining Wonder Lake as a private lake. The LaGreca property owners have the right under deed to rent twenty-five row boats to any of their customers but so far as the use of the lake is concerned for non-property owners, all rights cease at that point. No one has the right to rent dockage space to non-property owners and no one has the right to launch boats in the lake, which boats belong to nort-propeirty owners. It must be made-dear that the lake belongs to t nfeJWonder Lake Syndicate, whicn\has given property owners onthe lake certain rights on the lake for their own private purposes, and excepting the right Ho rent the twenty-five boats referred to herein, there are no rights granted non-property owners for use of the lake owned by us. Should there be any questions regarding lake rights we would be glad to give any information necessary for a clear understanding of the whole matter.
