Alan is from Virginia and works at the Zion Nuclear gower Plant. He enjoys gardening and is looking forward to having his own next season. Ann grew up in Island Lake and spends most of her time tending to 9 week old Eric. The Rasmussens live on Sunset Drive. WOMEN'S CLUB Meetings will be held the second Wednesday of every month so if you would like to put the date on your calendar, so you might be able to attend. . FUNTASTIC On Saturday afternoon most of the residents of Holiday. Hills were able to see a sight that was just terrific. A balloon, I should say an air balloon landed in the lake, within a few minutes later another landed. Most of us saw the sight and headed toward the beach and the one balloon took off again and before we realized it, it had landed in the yard of the Leonard and Kathy Siatta home. Looking down the road we discovered that the balloon that was left in the lake was now landed on Tower road. By this time I believe all the residents had seen an air balloon up close. All those people who weren't there missed a sight to behold. The red and white balloon was piloted by Russ Hardy and Jim Ahern, the name of the balloon is Glad Bag. The gray balloon with red diamonds is piloted by Jim Klick and the balloon is named Johnathan Livingston Seagull 2 or J.L.S. 2. Fire Prevention Week Stems From Great Chicago Fire The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 is the only major con­ flagration whose anniversary is marked by an international observance -- Fire Prevention week -- proclaimed each year vin the United States and Canada It was originated in 1911 as Fire Prevention day by the Fire Marshals Association of North America. On recommendation of a committee of the National Fire Protection association, it was extended to a week in 1922. Fire Prevention week is always the Sunday-through- Saturday period in which falls Oct. 9, date of the Chicago disaster. The fire killed ,250 persons and destroyed 17, 430 buildings at a cost of $168 million. A mosquito's idea of a happy hunting ground is a nudist camp. SERVICE NEARS 100 YEARS - Walter Brown, second from left, Walter Kowalski and Arthur Kattner have served the village of Spring Grove as trustees a total of ninety-four years. Some forty people gathered at Pat's Supper club in Solon Mills to honor the three retiring trustees and their wives recently. Lyle Thomas, left village president, presented each a plaque commemorating his years of service to the village.

The first concert will feature the Texas Boys choir. Disability Pay Over a quarter of a million Americans receive social security benefits because they have severe disabilities which began in childhood and which keep them handicapped as adults. More than 65 percent of childhood disability beneficiaries have some degree of mental deficiency. (by Father William O. Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) On Sunday, Sept. 21 after services at the Northwestern Military and Naval academy at Lake Geneva, Wis., we were on the road north and west. We took a large picnic lunch, enough for two days. It was so cold during the day there was no danger of milk spoiling or the meat. The food lasted two days instead of one. Much cheaper this way. Our first night out we stopped at Spring Green, Wis. This is Frank Lloyd Wright country. The home where he lived and which he designed can be seen from the bridge of Wisconsin Route 23, where it crosses the Wisconsin river. Just over the bridge is a restaurant Wright designed during his last years. Here you dine and look out over the stretches oi the river. The food is expensive and good but the chief note is the world famed designer. In the town of Spring Green itself is a bank designed by the same architect in his later life, while seven or eight miles north in Richland Center (on Route 14) is a warehouse that the architect planned in his early days. Here in a radius of eight miles are four of Wrights works, one of his youth and three of his last days. Great place for young architects! We found a pleasant motel that sold sleep, were tucked in bed by 9 and did pretty well by Morpheus for ten hours. The morning of the twenty-second saw us heading for LaCrosse. My friend, Bishop William is the busiest network A in town! ^ jC . & fr Give the gift of excitement this year ActiOl) RdCliO All new, this fascinating little 4-channel performer permits him to hear minute-by- minute action as it Ipappens in the city . . . automatically. Slide-switch controlled, it searches for a signal... stops to hear the live action then resumes the search for another signal. A convenient, slide-out panel provides amazingly easy crystal access. And this ' highly styled, heavy-duty plastic case fits any decor. . . home or office. Come in today and hear the live sound of the city. It's not just a great gift for Dad. it's fun for the whole family. Carey Appliance 1241 N. Green St, McHenry, Hi. Ph. 385-5500 We have a model for every purpose... every purse. Horstick, late Bishop of Eau Claire, used to sing the praises of the Fall and Spring beauties of his diocese along the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers-the hills-the spring pastels-the fall^, paisleys of leaves, the rolling hills, the valleys, the farms and the herds are as fine a sight as any in our goodly land. The farms were set about like fortresses of a medieval land­ scape, their silos the towers of the fortresses; some farms had as many as five silos and one had seven. We passed a farm where two men were caring for a herd in a small fenced field. As we rolled by (under 55 miles per hour) these two, armed with brooms, were hard at it trying to pur- suade one recalcitrant bossy to rejoin the herd. They were the epitome of harrassment. The Fall colors were starting, not full-but full of promise, I thought again of the word paisley but perhaps Martha Hassell's phrase back in Kenilworth, "a Persian car­ pet" says it better. Wisconsin's barns have an edge on the barns of northern Illinois. We are replacing so many old wooden structures with metal buildings. I am sure they are more economical. They house tractors that replaced teams of Dobbins quite efficiently. Still, there is something to be said for big old Wisconsin barns with gambrel roofs that keep the herds' winter hay fresh and sweet. Wisconsin is full of historical markers. We paused at one that told of Jeremiah McLain Rusk, Governor of Wisconsin, 1882- 1889. He put down a strike in those centennial days and later telling of it coined the phrase: "I seen my duty an' I done it!" This paragon of goodly grammar was Secretary of Agriculture in the cabinet of President Benjamin Harrison. The tale of his grammar must be apocryphal. On through Viroqua to LaCrosse where a great rocky island rises 600 feet above the city. Here we ate the remains of Extend Welcome To Newcomers In Village We would like to welcome our new neighbors who moved into Von Obstfelder's house recently. I hope they got over their disappointing experience they had when they first moved here. When they first moved into the house someone took their boy's roadrace set. In my opinion if someone suddenly has a new set in their house they must know it wasn't a gift from heaven. Their little boy was very sad to see he had lost his prize possession. BIRTHDAYS We would like to wish Carilyn yesterday's lunch and stood in awe before a tablet that told us that 125 years ago James Lloyd Breck had climbed that rocky outcrop with a band of fifty to hold the first service of Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer, in the great cathedral of the out of doors of Wisconsin. He founded two of our Episcopal seminaries and is a famed missionary and* educator among us. On the way down we passed a school crossing guard, good lady, sound asleep in a chair propped up against a tree. As we came down a side road into New Amsterdam, a little hamlet, we rounded a corner and there in the middle of the road was an old lady armed with a long rifle which she had pointed up a tree. She had the silliest, guiltiest look imaginable on her face as we swung by. In the rear vision mirror I could see her ambling back to her post, grey hair, overalls and all. As you travel keep your eyes open-its better than a floor show! Night found us in Eau Claire in a warm motel. We dined on walleyed pike. You can't do better than that. (Carol) Smith a very happy birthday on the twenty-seventh, many more Carol. Antoinette Januschik had her birthday on the second of October, many, many more to you too. ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. E. Januschik are also celebrating their anniversary on the second. Hope you have many, many more. Don't forget the regular meeting of the village of Sunnyside will be held next Tuesday, Oct. 7. It will begin at 8 o'clock in the rear of the Sunnyside Inn. Hope to see you there! Two New Bills Designed For Life Saving Two bills allowing firemen and rescue squad members to equip their personal vehicles with blue flashing lights have been signed into law, according to three 33rd district legislators. f. - , The Bills. HB 1441 and HB 2287, were originally in- • troducted in the House of Representatives by Rep. R. Bruce Waddell, R-Dundee, and Rep. Cal Skinner, R-Crystal Lake, respectively, at the request of local fire and rescue workers. Both bills were sponsored in the Senate by Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary. The three Republican legislators said the new laws will permit emergency per­ sonnel to use the blue flashing lights in their personal vehicles in order to speed up their response time to life- endangering crises. Presently, no such lights are allowed by law, and those attempting to use them have been ticketed by police. * * * * A miser isn't as bad as those who don't know how to give of themselves. Reverse Burning At Homecothing The Warriors burned signs of Mundelein on their bonfire laif Thursday night. Friday evening the Mundelein football team came to McCracken field and "burned" the Warriors by a 10-0 score. The homecoming loss evens the Warriors at 2 and 2. This Saturday the McHenry team will travel to Crystal Lake, eager to spoil the Tigers homecoming. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD
