Johnsburg School Establish Physical Examination Policy The board of education has established a policy requiring all students in the Johnsburg Community Unit > School District No. 12 planning to participate in interscholastic athletics to have a physical examination. The physical examination must be completed prior to the first practice session of the particular sport the student is planning on participating in. This requirement is for all boys and girls who enter in­ terscholastic competition which includes softball, basketball, volleyball and track and field. An examination can be given any time prior to the school year and will be valid for one calendar year. One examination would be good for all sports throughout the yer. Students -planning on par­ ticipating in interscholastic sports can pick up physical examination cards from Van Bosch at the Junior high school office this summer. Upon completion of the physical examination, the card may be turned in to him at the school office, or to Mr. Pieper in September when school starts. Cargo Net Stops Tailgate Thefts Delivering consumer mer­ chandise to stores in crowded urban downtowns can be an ex­ pensive proposition. The reason: heavy theft 1c even more expensive than the In certain areas of New York and othervlarge cities, individ­ uals and youth gangs, familiar with products being delivered to some stores, will steal cartons from truck tailboards in full day­ light view of the driver and gen­ eral public," says Fleet Owner, a trucking industry trade magazine. "Tailboard thefts occur while the diiver is at the front of the trailer, or when he is moving the shipment into the store "Usually the drivers cannot chase the thief, because that leaves the truck and remaining cargo unprotected." But hiring a helper just to watch the goods is 'We've got an eye mi your future In this complicated world, it's tough enough to cope with today, much less think about tomorrow. So one wide-awake part of our business is future-watching for our customers. And another part is providing them with new and improved services to meet the demands of the time. Bank wide-awake and we'll look out for you. The same way we're looking out for many others. The wide-awake bank makes it all so easy. B THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY 3814 W. ELM. AAcHEftRY, ILL. PHONE 385-5400 1 Now, some lines are using a cargo net fitted inside the truck to curb such ripofTs. The nets are strung across the truck body on four cables running the length of riach corner, and were originally designed to hold half-loads so they wouldn't topple in sudden starts and stops. They are at­ tached to the cables with wire rope <clamps that let t^e net slide easily in one di recti oil, but lock if moved in the other without first releasing an automatic clamp. Vallerie Transportation Ser­ vice, a 278-trailer line operating between New England and New Jersey, has installed the nets in all its trucks and told FO that it has not had a single successful tailgate theft since beginning use of the system. Vallerie drivers, when they reach a stop, move the net all the way to the rear of the trailer and, working behind it, get all the boxes for that particular delivery stacked up just inside the net. He then steps outside, unhooks one corner to get out a box, and re- hooks it before wheeling off the ' merchandise on his hand cart. The need for a thief to unfasten the net to get at waiting mer­ chandise is evidently enough of a deterrent. *** Now is the time we would enjoy a good watermelon. Deaths VINCENT M.

Close to Home DON'T BE "FLOORED" BY CLEANING PROBLEMS Even if you're not con­ cerned with floors clean eQgugh to eat off of, you prmaoly spends a healthy t of time making sure they're at least walk able. The Lindsay Division of Ecodyne Corporation points out there are more types of flooring and more cleaning agents now than ever before. Choosing the right cleaning method can be confusing -- but it is essential to preserv­ ing your floor's beauty and finish. Keep an Eye on Your Floor But first things first. If you don't follow a program of continuing preventative and routine maintenance, it won't matter if you spread mud on your floors to get them clean. Preventative care means wiping up spills when they occur, keeping entrances clean to avoid tracked in Myrtle (Paul) Prendergast; a daughter, Mrs. Chester (Patricia) Lundstrom of Killeen, Tx.; three grand­ daughters, Karen, Susan and Nancy, a grandson, Mitchell; a great granddaughter, Terry; and other relatives.

This should be supple­ mented by routine daily and weakly liimainttinancei There are a few general guidelines to follow. You should dust mop or sweep your floors daily. For the weekly event, also clean them with a mild detergent or special solution recommended for your floor type. Except for wood, proper maintenance will generally call for mopping and rinsing with an occasional waxing. Different Strokes for Different Floors Since each type of flooring has its own characteristics, keep the following Aground rules" when establishing your maintenance scheme: Asphalt tile--Wash with a warm, mild, sudsy solution, and rinse with clear water. Dry thoroughly. Solvents, oil, and grease are taboo. They can soften your tile's surface. Ceramic or marble -- Pre­ vention of soil accumulation in the cracks is vital. Before cleaning this tile, seal the cracks with penetrating sealer. Wash with a pow­ dered floor cleaner and wa­ ter, rinse and dry thoroughly, and then wax. Linoleum--Dust frequently, and use a mop dampened with a nonalkaline cleaner weekly. Also, keep It well waxed. RubI*r This is another floor type that doesn't get along with grease, oil or sol­ vents. Wash with a warpi, mild sudsy solution, rinse with clear water, and roop,drjk ,r~ . Vinyl plastic--It's a pretty tough customer. It resists grease, oil, and dirt, making it ideal for the kitchen. Keep it well dusted, and take an occasional damp mop to it. When it gets particularly dirty, clean it with a pow­ dered floor cleaner and warm water. Wood -- While vinyl is tough, wood is ticklish. Dust regularly with a dry mop. Water and wood don't mix well. Even if you use a seal­ ing agent, it's not a good idea to use water for cleaning. Dampen a cheesecloth with either solvent or a liquid cleaning wax. The latter will save time, as it contains sol­ vent for cleaning and wax for protection. After waxing, buff with a weighted floor brus|i. Soft Water a Cleaning Aid Lindsay also reminds that where water is called for, soft water makes floor cleaning easier. Dirt and grease marks readily dissolve when floors are mopped with a cleanser and soft water. For certain tiles, a quick once over with a cloth dampened with soft water will restore their spar­ kle. They may not be edible, but they'll be, more than walkable. NOW OPEN! tAYMOND'S 35ST rt v JOHNSBURt BOW. (FORAAERLY TOAAASELLOS) YOUR HOSTS: RAY * FELICIA KUNA THURSDAY SPECIAL!
