HURRY WTTH YOUR f - LETTER, SANTA T5 TILLING HIS ORDERS My goodness, don't tell me you've forgotten to write that letter to Santa Claus! How do you suppbse he is going to know what you want him to bring you fdr Christmas? But we've got a remedy for all you youngsters who haven't written that all important letter yet. As we told you last week. Santa is a regular subscriber to The Plaindealer, so we*have decided to publish all the letters you write him, addressed to "Santa Claus," care of The McHenry Plaindealer, McHenry, Illinois. Then Santa will be able to read them, just as you have written them, in the next issue of this paper on December 19. Several of his little friends have already written their wishes, and they nppear this week in another column. He is busy already, preparing these oi-ders as completely as possible. However, in cases where some ask for too many«' things, it is impossible for him to bring all the articles each one has ordered when he makes the rounds on Christmas eve. He has to divide the gifts evenly, otherwise some of the poor children would receive nothing, and you wouldn't want that to hanpen, would you? But don't forget that you have only this week to get that letter into our office. Why not sit down and write it Ia OUIV,»cu « ...» uruuier, «.i- . rOW? If/°U CMI't W*lte.

Wieland, state superintendent of public instruction, the claims of McHenry county elementary schools against the state distributive aid fund for the school year ended last June 30 aggregate $40,079. For all claims in the state the total is $12,277,121. The claims were approximately $250 000 less than for the preceding year, the state superintendent reported, and he said they had been turned over to State Auditor Edward J. Barrett for payment. From the distributive fund elementary schools are guaranteed $11 per pupil, with special aid going to some districts in southern Illinois having low assessed property valuations cago, where she soon became head dressv designer. Later the two operat- I ed their own establishment on Michigan avenue, where they designed for many of Chicago's first families. Their customers included Mrs. Samuel Insi'll. Lillian Russell and Mrs. Potter Palmer. The sisters retired from business about fortv years ago. devoting much of their time to travel and of late years have lived with their widowed sister, Mrs. Mary Stone at the family home in Richmond.

A word about which volumes and volumes have been written, a mere word which recalls a million words and a million circumstances. But greatest of all, Christmas imparts a feeling of peace and quietude, and strikes a joyous, jubilant note in the hearts of all. In anticipation of this delightful time, shoppers are crowding the stores in search of just the right gift for relative or friend. Storekeepers, realizing that their display windows are the eyes of their stores, have busied themselves to present elaborate previews of the luxuries which »re held within. Overlooking Green street. We find the Agatha Shop with its usual splendid collection of fVne suggestions arranged in an unusually attractive fashion. Large blue hollies with silver bells look down on a doll house, sweaters, fancy dishes and many other novelties. - A famous toy center Is Vycital's hardware store with Santa Claus ready to welcome you as you enter the door. Teddy bears, dolls, bicycles, hobby-horses, all are waiting to be carried down somebody's chimney on December 25. A warm glow radiates from a couple of lamps in the Jacob Justen and Son furniture store on Green and Elm, cresting highlights on an abundance of furnishings which would be the pride of any owner. Too, the kiddies will beg you to view the array of toys. A most attractive window is that to be seen at Thomas P. Bolger's drug store. The ideal gift for everyone, religious articles as well, are handsomely packaged on a background of silver and red cellophane. Toys everywhere, even floating in the air, is the plight of the display at the McHenry five and dime. Smith Brothers show a selection of useful gifts such as weekend bags and wearing apparel, all pleasingly arranged amid gay pennants- and streamers. McGee's store for men excells in beautiful window displays, and this time it extends its "Seasons Greetings" in red letters on a starry background. The gift suggestions will prove to you that any man would come into his element in this store. Refrigerators and washing machines all wrapped up in cellophane and tied with huge red bows are waiting to be taken home to some housekeeper this Christmas fifom Carey's electric shop. Gladstone's department store solves your problems with an entire window devoted to "Gifts for Him" and another labeled "Gifts for Her." Boxes are attractively decked out with poinsettias and holIiesT^- At the Greyhound bus depot overlooking Elm street is a selection of liquors, imparting afbi't of warmth in a snowy background. For a gift that is not too intimate this year, give him a pipe. There's a fine selection at Albert Krause's on Elm street, as may be seen in the eyecatching scene in the window. Riverside Drive Strolling along Riverside Drive, We are attracted by the electrical gift suggestions in the H. E. Buch and Son store. Why not give her a mangier this year, red cellophane bow and all? A miniature village is a delightful refreshment to the vision of those who pass by Karls' restaurant. Santa is seen driving along a street of this tiny town which is robed in ice and snow. Everything for milady's Christmas is the display which greets your entrance to Betty Nielsen's, everything from lounging pajamas to costume jewelry. A grift which you alone can give is your photograph. Christmas wreaths surround the likenesses of a number of McHenry residents at the Andrew Worwick studio. Shoes of every size and shape stand atop miniature chimneys in the Shoe Box on Riverside Drive. Toyland is here, with games and toys galore, as well as an excellent showing of wearing apparel for the whole family at Bast's store. Main Street Stores Now we journey to Main street in West McHenry and we are thrilled with the lovelv sights to behold in these stores. Folleth's shoe store is first in line. Naturally we expect to ftnd shoes on display here, but the green and red atmosphere, created with crepe paper, enhances the sight even more. A splash of color greets us as we cross the street to gaze at the array in Althoff's hardware store. Toys lay everywhere, and we realize why, for there is an open fireplace with two filled stockings hanging trimmly thereon. A revolving table is topped with an electric stove, dishes and then some. For Mother we see all sorts and sizes of containers and dishes she'd enjoy having. Everything is rosy at the Peter M.' Justen furniture store because the! | lights are all covered with red cello- Tection of furniture is tailored to fit •very purse and purpose. The outdoor sportsman comes into his glory as he views the joyous sight lu Kamholz's hardware store. Skiis, knives and fishing rods are only a small portion of the gifts. St. Nick may be seen bearing a package which Is tagged "Gifts for Everyone," so you'd better look within. An excellent selection of blankets to make warm presents this Christmas is the feature at John Stoffel'£ At Freund's clothing store we look through a snowy window onto two green bells which announce "Gifts for Men." Any male wo<*U appreciate a fine shirt or pair of pajamas from this assortment. A midnight blue background is studded with silver snow at A. E. Nye's jewelry store. "Gifts for all -- Gifts Galore," is the slogan proclaimed by this store, and we are convinced at the sight of clocks, dresser sets, rings and many more gifts which will be a lasting token of remembrance. Now that we have seen the town we ftnd ourselves imbued with an urgent Christmas spirit. We grab a pencil and paper and quickly get our shopping list in order. It makes us happy to know that we will not have to go out of town to our shopping, for where else could one find surh neh and beautiful gifts ? s EXPERTS OFFER NEW MILES FOR SAFE EXERCISE GREAT IN WINTER SEEK TO REPEAL THREE DAY CLAUSE ON LICENSES TO WED The county board Monday adopted a resolution asking for a repeal of the three-day notice for Intention to wed clause in the state marriage law. The same resolution has been adopted by various other counties in the state and by the state association of county clerks. County Clerk R. D. Woods said that repeal of this clause would be a fine thing for the county. He stated that with the present law requiring a health examination that it takes some four days to get a license and that the three day clause Just adds three extra days. Mr. Woods indicated that the three day clause is responsible for many couples leaving the state to secure licenses and that it costs the county upwards of $S60 a year in Revenue. The county clerk pointed out that the three day clause was put in the bill tQ prevent so called gin marriages. However, wit^i the health examination clause gin Carriages are out of the question now days The health clause was placed n the bill in July, 1937. 8ince that time marriage licenses have decreased With the advent of winter increase ing motoring hazards and presenting' ; ^ an entirely new set of rules for saff^;!? driving, Charles A. Chayne, Buictf4 ** chief Engineer, has listed the sugg®3»» '• •; tions of Buick's expert test driven! "y't, for the safe operation of an aatomo<fV v > bile under all conditions. ^ "Winter and wet weather drivi.^ brings added hazards and I believ^ every motorist should follow a few? simple rules which, if carried ou< faithfully, will enable him to keep hi® car under control at all times," Mr; Chayne said. The traction between the tires and the road cannot be the same on icq and snow or on wet pavement as ort<- dry roads. The motorists must notl forget this. It's easier to slip ancfb slide. You have to exercise very care-#* ful control of your car. "Under such conditions, motorist# should remember one fundamental rule: Don't do anything jerkily or im4 pulsively. This rule applies to steer-| ing the car and to increasing or decreasing its speed." * The symposium on ssfte driving wastconducted through a questionnaire! submitted by Mr. Chayne to Buick's^ test experts. The five men questioned' were L. A. Wilson, chief of the test di-' vision, Paul DeWitt, W. J. LaFounde.k R. H. Daley, Fred Lawrence aiijd Jfcl J. Kotska, all veteran drivers. i » Answers on Safe Driving Don't take your foot off the accel erator suddenly. It is the same as# applying brakes to the rear wheels " and may cause a skid. Avoid it by slowly releasing your accelerator pedal. Don't slam on your brakes, especi- \ ally on icy or wet pavement. Antici- & pate your stops and take it easy. ^ Don't start up in low gear on ice. 3r In low gear, it is almost impossible > to operate the accelerator delicately ff~. enough to prevent the wheels from spinning on ice. Therefore, always .^ v start up in second or high gear on slippery roads to keep your car under control. '*•" Don't let your car get out of proper « mechanical adjustment. See that your brakes are always properly adjusted. If they arent, they can throw you into a skid. The carburetor adjustment should as &*$>>I , last year to 276. For the first eleven I months of this year there has been a slight increase with 326 being issued. The month prior to the new law being effective, June, 1937, saw a new all time high record set for one month* with 178. Last month only 14 licenses were issued. The resolution will be sent to the three representatives from this district as well as to State Senator Ray Paddock. some 50 per cent in the county. A snuuiu total of 546 were issued in 1937. In j ^ r'£ht to prevent stalling and to in- 1938 the number dropped to 272 and j 8Ure efficient operation of the engine, which is one of the most important factors in control of the car. Don't neglect to keep your steering mechanism in good shape and don't neglect to keep it and other running gedr parts well lubricated. In other words, the car should have a normal "feel" so that you can sense when roads become dangerous. Use Edge of Slippery Road The impulse is to ride the center highly crowned roads particularly when the going is slippery. Don't do this. A variation in the crown may cause a skid and the speed of the skid is likely to be too great to stop before the ear hits the shoulder. Drive near the right edge of slippery pavements because there usually is enough snow or rough shoulder there to stop • the car before a skid. Never turn your head when talking with occupants of the <sr.
