NEED NEW COLUMNIST ' FOR LAKELAND PARK NEWS As of now, I haven't received any calls from interested persons who might like to do this column.

Come on gang, there must be someone out there who would like to write the column. Give me a call.

Directories In Libraries Aid Card Senders For McHenry county area residents, it will be a little easier this year to send holiday greeting cards to their out-of- town friends. New and missing street addresses can be found at the Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo and McHenry public libraries, which have telephone directories for many cities throughout the nation. The directories are filed alphabetically by states, making it an easy matter to locate any community quickly. The libraries also have a ZIP Code directory, listing the ZIP code of every community in the United States. Use of ZIP codes will help Christmas cards and other mail go through faster. Library officials say the volume of requests makes it impossible to handle this in­ formation by telephone.
