WINTEF. * MOST SEVERE STORM CLOSED SCHOOLS The most severe storm of the 1949-50 winter thus far made its appearance in the early hours of Monday morning. It left not only a substantial blanket of snow over the countryside but continued to whirl it in all directnons most of the day, piling high drifts which made many roads all but impassable. Displaying a distorted sense of humor, the weatherman was not content at playing havoc with the roads through bringing snow but, capricious-like, changed his mind to rata in late afternoon and later sent sleet which transformed tree branches and wires alike into a veritable winter wonderland. It was hard to tell who was most inconvenienced by the unexpected storm, the motorist or the pedestrian, for by Tuesday morning sidewalks were more glassy than streets. Students who had been somewhat disappointed by the fact that Lincoln's birthday fell on Sunday, received a holiday Tuesday, when the condition of the roads prevented school buses from operating.

FOR TOM LAWRANCE OF ISLAND T.AKF. Services were held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon from the chapel at Oak Woods cemetery, Chicago, for Tom G. Lawrance. 64, who died'; Wednesday evening, Feb. 8, at his home at Island Park. The body rested at the Peter M. Justen funeral home until time of services. Mr. Lawrance was born in England and retained his English citizenship. In earlier years he was a sales representative for a meat packing company in Europe and also traveled for Armour & Co., in Spain. He retired in 1932 and only a few weeks ago purchased a home at Island Lake. His wife preceded him in death. His only close survivor is a niece, Mrs. James. Alspach, of Pittsbnrg, Pa. < Red Cross Headquarters Makes Appeal For Drivers By a vote of 224 in favor and 216 against, the issue of whether or not Island ^ke, so^thea^ of j4cHehrY wot^ld become incorporated was settled last Saturday, Feb. 11. Voting took place at two polling places, one in McHenry county and the other in Lake county. The election was officially scheduled by Judge Minard Hulse of Lake county after the necessary petitions had been presented in court. The question of incorporation had caused a great deal of discussion in the Island Lake community for many weeks prior to last Saturday, with arguments- pro and con being offered. Those who favored incorporation argued in defense. of their actions that under cpndftiona • which have prevailed UM£fe* people pay their just proportion of the cost of maintaining the subdivision as a high type rural area. They also felt that the area was lafge enough to have its own government. The opposition made it plain that their purpose in amoving to island Lake was because it was a rural community, free of city law enforcement. Although the election brought out an unusually high vote and was extremely close, those desirous of continued progress in the growing community hope that all residents will now cooperate to make Island Lake a thriving village.

Feb. 13 was really Blue Monday, but like all good fiction stories the day had a happy ending--at least it was happy for everyone but tthe 345. students in our local high school who earlier had pleasantly anticipated the day when a lack of cOal might mean that books fcould be put away for a time. The coal shortage, until this past w^ek an emergency which was more of national importance than of local co'acern, on MffMny threatened to curtail activities in this community.

Until receiving an O.K. on the new order, the school had only a half a carload remaining, enough to carry through about three tweeks of school, with no heating in the evenings. Word that more coal was obtainable was good news to the many organizations which had planned activities during the next few weeks. Probably the happiest of all were members of the Future llomemakers of America, who had almost completed plans for their annual Valentine's party and dance when the event was called off. After Monday afternoon's announcement, the party plans went ahead as scheduled. However, road conditions Tuesday caused the party to be postponed. Others affected by the curtailment of heat included the Parent Teachers Association, which was planning an unusually interesting program in observance of Father's Night and Founders' Day this we'ek Thursday night; the farmers' classes for veterans, which meet at the school two nights a week; the McHenry Choral Club and the Thursday Night Athletic Club, both of which use rooms ia the school one night a week. One of the most important events which would possibly have been cancelled under t£ie Monday order was the sfete Forester basketball\ tournament which was scheduled for the new gymnasium next weekend.
