r McCrJlom Lake Gerry Milbratz 385-8543 Trustee Presents 5 Year Plan For Roads, Drainage Trustee Kurt Weisenberger presented the five year plan for toads and drainage at the board meeting, March 25. The first phase will take care of all the drainage in the beach area. After that, comes ditching and drainage through the village then the roads will be done. It is possible the project may be partially federally funded, in which case it can be finished in less than five years. Work will begin soon on putting temporary patches in holes in the road until the weather clears and better patches can be applied. The board is looking into the cost of having all the loose gravel and sand from winter cleared off the roads. Board members voted to make a donation to a county animal shelter which will be centrally located in McHenry County. Stray animals picked up will be taken to this shelter instead of to a local veterinarian as was done previously. The annual fee, paid by residents for dog tags will go toward maintaining the shelter. Since the new ordinance was passed concerning con­ demnation of buildings several houses have been under discussion. The board plans to work on one at a time, in having violations taken care of or condemning the building. The property behind the village hall is now being leased by the village, and plans are to start clearing it soon and using it for a picnic area. Liquor licenses were ap­ proved for the two taverns in the village. New fluorescent lights donated by Gene Shigley have been installed in the village hall. The next board meeting is Tuesday, April 8, 8 p.m., in the beach house. ELECTION INFORMATION Registered voters who will be out of town for the village board election, April 15, can get an application for an absentee ballot from the village clerk until April 10. Candidates for the election include incumbent president, Allan McKim, who is running for president on the Progressive Party ticket. He is being opposed by (leorge Mayer, an independent. On the ticket with McKim are Virginia Aalto, Eugene Huff, Ronald Krumsee and Don Parenti, all seeking two-year trustee terms. Eugene Frost and Terry Jordan, also on the Progressive party ticket, are running for four year trustee terms. Three independent candidates are also seeking the trustee positions. Donald Milbratz and William Walter are running for two year terms, . and Monty Yates is running for a four year term. There will be more information on each candidate in next week's Plaindealer. SURVEY On April 15, the day of the village election, a survey will be taken to find out if residents would vote to have sewers installed in the village. The person taking the survey will ask residents if they would want sewers here. This is not a vote, and no one would have to give or write their name to anything for the survey. It is just to get an idea as to whether enough peoole would want sewers, to make it worthwhile to get engineer estimates, or plans for a sewer system. GIRL'S SOFTBALL REGISTRATION The week of April 5 through April 13, has been set for girl 's age 9 to 15 to register for the softball league. Registration is at the Bitterman residence, 4907 W. McCullom Lake road. Women are needed to manage and coach the girl 's teams and anyone willing to give their time to help can contact Mrs. Bitterman - BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION At this time, no one has volunteered to represent McCullom Lake in the McHenry County Bi-Centennial commission. Residents are reminded this is only a tem­ porary position, and so shouldn t take too much of their time. Whoever wants to be on the committee or get more information, is asked to call the village clerk, Karen Parks. CONFIRMATION PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Richard Penny had a lot of company at their house IVfarch 29, in honor of their daughter Susan's con­ firmation. Sue was confirmed at Zion Lutheran church, after morning services Sunday.

Thomas J Hanahan, D- McHenry has introduced new provisions for the minimum wage law of Illinois, and a series of other bills that have to do with lie detector tests and their prohibitions on municipal police, firemen, and employees in the private sector. Hanahan's comprehensive minimum wage act eliminated the prior provision that there had to be at least five full-time employees. Also included are people such as ushers, con­ cession sales people, ticket takers for theatres, and goes on to provide that after January, 1977, the minimum wage shall be raised to $2.30 per hour, except for those under 18 years of age. not less than $1.95 per hour * * * * A conversationalist will talk whether anyone is lis­ tening or not. * * * * Envy and jealousy eat out one's soul and warp one's personality.

Respectfully, PETER MJUSTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME McHenry, Illinois 385-UU63 Ask Discovery Recount Bill On Referendums State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. • I t-Crystal Lake) las in­ troduced a bill to provide fbr discovery recounts for referendums. (Presently, only elections of public officials are subject to automatic recounts in close races.) "Just one year ago. subur­ banites in the metropolitan area discovered they had lost the RTA referendum by less than 1 percent of the ballots cast," Skinner remembered. "Losing by 12,000 votes with 60,000 spoiled ballots led many kNOw RTA coalition members to call for a recount." explained Skinner. "Imagine our dismay when we discovered that provisions for a discovery recount for referendums didn't exist, even though such 'no fault ' recounts for close elec­ tions for public officials is now routine," Skinner said. The RTA opponent is hopeful of passage. He doesn't think anyone would wish the chain of events that followed the RTA referendum upon the proponents or opponents of any other public issue.

NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are sortie representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q -- I just received an honorable discharge after two years of military duty. I hear the Veterans administration provides free GI Bill benefits for veterans like me who didn't finish h^h school. Is that true? A -- Yes, and the assistance won't be charged against your basic entitlement. Suggest you apply to the VA regional office in your state. Q - What are some of the advantages of GI home loans? I had three years of military service before my discharge two years ago, and I am thinking of- applying for this benefit from the Veterans administration. - A -- Because VA guarantees 60 per cent of loans - up to $17,500, whichever is less- downpayments are either small or not required, and there usually is a long repayment period with no penalty for early repayment. Also, VA appraises the house before purchase to determine its reasonable value. Q - I-ve been out of military service six months, but can't find a job. What suggestions does the Veterans Ad­ ministration have? A - Visit vour local state is an independent congregation, drawing its participation from various communities in the area. employment service office and take your DD Form 214 with you If a job is not available, you will be allowed to apply for unemployment compensat ion. You also should check your regional VA office and U.S. Veterans Assistance center if you are close to them. Q - 1 was separated from military service in April 1973. Am I eligible for five-year, nonrenewable Veterans Group Life insurance? A -- Probably yes. However, you must send application, first premium and proof of service before Aug. 2, 1975 to: Office of Servicemen's Group Life In­ surance, 212 Washington St., Newark. New Jersey 07102. Q - I understand that GI home loans valued at more than $110 billion have been approved by the Veterans Administration for 8.9 million veterans and servicemen since World War II. Have they been good credit risks? A - Yes. An overall 3.5 per cent foreclosure rate on mortgages attests to their credit worthiness. 0 -- My mother, who is ill and requires almost constant at­ tention, receives dependency and indemnity compensation (DJC) from the Veterans ad­ ministration based on the service connected death of my father during World War II Is she also eligible for aid and attendance benefits? A - Probably yes. A $64 monthly aid and attendance allowance is available to widows who draw DIC, if they are: patients in nursing homes, helpless or blind, or so nearly helpless or blind as to require regular aid and attendance of other persons. * * * * Make people laugh and they will pay you money for your efforts. \«.K !» - PLAINDEAI^F.R-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1975 tS REDUCE SCHOOL DEFICIT - The St. John's Home-School association officers, Virginia Spengel and Nancy Majercik, left, are shown presenting a check to Sister Viola, principal of St. John s school.
