THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, May 28, 1964 YOUNG BOYS WORK WEEDS tOM EMPTY LOTS Kay Sielisch Hyatt -- 7-3414 TWo ten year old boys on ^Meadow Hill Lane, Dickie "Morley arid Mark Van Zevern, been working like beavers the weedfe and keeping corner lot clean. The senior members of their families along with the children spent 6 couple of weekends picking tip all the debris, stones and the likes and the two boys have taken it upon themselves to keep this double lot clean and cut. They have been doing a wonderful job and deserve a lot of credit for their efforts. Smce we? all have a stake in our community and the looks of it, many complaints have been coming in to the officers and county board of people dumping cans, debris and the likes in empty lots and of folks burning garbage. Since there is a law against this type of disposing of the same, in order to protect our property and appearance of the community you m&y report the same to Wally Dean 385-7437 or Tom Huemann 385-3093 and there will be some one out promptly. May 21 was very well attended" and everyone enjoyed the film "The Secret Of The Gift." The financial report for the conference year was made available to all. May 18, the Youth Group met at the church at 7:30 p.m. on the same day, at the same time, all the church school teachers and officers met at the parsonage, 1306 Jasper Drive. Miss Ruth Wilson, conference director of children's work, was present for counseling. At 8 p.m. the commission of stewardship and finance met in the church office. Boy Bitten By Dog May 14, seven year old Charles Kocher, Jr., of 704 Broadway was riding his bike and a dog which is allowed to roam and never tied came running after Charles and bit him. Rabies control officer Ed. Jelinek has impounded the dog for the observation period. His mother and dad are anxiously awaiting the verdict. No amount of talking seems to help ;in keeping dogs confined to their yards. After some one is bitten, then the dogs are tied which is too late. Let's hope *that after the people who allow their dogs to roam, read the column they will consider their neighbors and keep the dogs confined. Fly Colors Memorial Day With Memorial Day upon us, let us hope that everyone in the Highlands will be flying "Old Glory".
