We base our prediction on ther/ interest shown by our residents on this issue. The ime has conic for every property owner to decide whether itenance of the roads., beach, |k and other improvements is to.continue in an organized mannv, or if they want to assume tfcpse responsibiities alone. , jfcCullom Lake has had its share If wild rumors of high taxes and other bugaboos, for the past few weeks. The most ridiculous of these to reach our ears was, that taxes would be increased by sixty -dollars a year. - Evidently the originator of this jMnor was no friend of incorporfRron. To put a damper on this rife scuttlebutt, we will endeavor •In the next few lines .to explain , What incorporation will mean to ; every property owner. • At the beginning of the fiscal yfear, a budget covering the copt of maintaining our community will be submitted to the county taxing body, who will prorate this cost among all the property owners. 4KThis small additional tax will Wen be added to your regular county tax and after collection,- will be deposited to the credi tof our village. The yearly budget will be estimated by the village president and six trustees, who will be elected to office by the people and will serve without pay. Election of officers will take place at a date after the vote on incorporation and will be decided on by the coutity dge. The beach house, which will serve as a polling place on Saturday, will be open from 6 a.m. to fi p.m. Judges will be Mrs. George Scheubert, Ken Eby, Sr., and A1 Zowada. All persons of legal age who liave established permanent residence at McCullom Lake thirty days prior to the election are eligible to vote. jiaPfc. on Doolin returned to Ft.

Special low price on tepwfar price after Apr! f: $45.00 •14 W. Main St. McHenry, I1U PHONE 12J-j FARM ADVISER'S COMMENTS (William Tammeus. Farm Advisor) George Bernard Shaw once said, "two percent of the people think, 3 percent think they think, and 95 percent would rather die than think." Someone else said, "What's the matter with the U. S. today?" and Will Rogers said, "I, don't know unless its the people." What brings on these quotes? The election--primary, that is-- which is coming up April 11. Half or more of the people do not vote in the primary because they are afraid someone is going to find out whether they are Republican or Democrat or something else. People should have guts enough to keep their pants up or they will be caught with them down some, pf these days. This brings on the story of the gangster who stepped .into a bar with a big tommy gun leveled at the crowd. In no time everyone' was gone but a hard bitten middle aged Englisnman. Glaring ai him the gangster said. "Well" Tho Englishman leaning against the bar said. "Sure was a lot of them ill here wasn't there?" Hold On To Yonr Hat The national deficit • (expenses over income) in 1949 was larger than the entire tax income to our government in 1939. The national debt is over $250 billion. How much is a billion? take minutes for instance. There have been only about one bHlion minutes past since Christ was born. If all the farms, equipment and livestock were sold at market price it would only raise enough money to run the government for sqven months; all the urban homes sold would run it for only eight months: if everyone who had life insurance would die and leave the money to the government it would run it less than a year. - People don't want lo be alarmed, they want security. Security is like a mirage on the desert. The harder you chase it the sooner you come to ruin with your throat swelled shut, your tongue twice normal size, and no water in and nobody would notice that." That is the easiest philosophy for a politician to get elected on Insight. A pile of $10 bills 240 miles high is needed to run the government. Many people think. "For me it would only take a couple of feet day and the woods are full of those who use it. Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty or give me death." Now the cry is "Give me." A man cant be a statesman unless he has been elected. Possible statesmen • don't run because they don't have much chance getting nominated without support in primary elections. What if i> 's oats sowing time April 11? Wi 41 would you rather leave your cl ildren--a few more bushels of oats or a free countrv? Think of the L-nys at Valley Forgo whose frozen ieet reddened the snow with their blood while their wives and children were home starving or possibly seriously ill with no doctor available. You might possibly walk to the polls if the roads were too bad to go bv car. It's interesting to note that those who are successful at their own business are also interested in helping to rftn or help soled those to run the biggest business we have, our government, and those who are unsuccessful are Interested in voting only when they can add to their already too meager coffer. Get out April 11 and vote for candidates who are successful business-men and for issues that indicate good business principles are being used. H you don't know, ask a successful busihessman who does. Air1 l\ It seemed grand to see several familiar, faces in the congregation that of late haye^ been absent on account of illness. Welcome back and we sincerely hope that good health will be with you in the future. It was especially fine-to have you present when we received new members into our fellowship. We were privileged,, to receive the following persons into our fellowship, through transfer or confession of faith: Mr. and Mrs. Ernest J. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. Everett fagersol, Henry A. Reese, and R. W. Nimtz. We pray that a great deal of progress can be made in the Master's work through our fellowshipvtogether. Another grqup will be received into membership on Palm Sunday and in the same service the Sacrament of Baptism will be given. Our thanks go to the ladies who served on the committee for the fellowship hour following the March 15 Lenten service. The figure studied in this service was Simon of Gyrene, who carried the Master's cross to Calvary. Rev. Taveuner of Woodstock will speak Wednesday, the twenty-second, and the Young Adults will conduct the service. On the twenty-ninth the pastor will again speak and the trustees will have charge of the fellowship hour. This will conclude tho Wednesday eve meetings. On April 6 (Holy Thursday) the Sacrament of Communion will be administered, and on Good Fiiday a special service will be held. On Easter morning there will be Do Sunday School. We will continue in the tradition of the past two years and have two morning services at !>:;{(> and 11:00 a.m. We ask you to note the change in time of the second service, 11 isntead of 10:46. We invite you to join us in the remaining services of this lloly season. \ Last Thursday, following a lovley dessert luncheon, the members of the W.S.C.S. were privileged to hear two students ' from E.C.I. (Evanston Collegiate Institute) our junior college in Evanston. Miss Elizabeth Pruitt told us about tke college and what it means to hjpr and then introduced the speaker of the afterneon. Nat. Adibl. ]$%- iria, Africa. He told of his coming to America and then the many ways that we can and must help our African brothers in their great need. It was a challenging afternoon.

The surveyors were out and after quite a bit of measuring and re-measuring have determined the boundries of our property. It probably hadn't been surveyed for a half century at least. Plumbing is now being installed and the wiring will soon follow. If you have not as yet presented your donation for this cause we would be more than happy to receive it at this time. This Sunday evening there will be a very special meeting at the church. It will be the fourth quarterly conference. Dr. Weldon E. Bradburn, our district superintendent, wilt meet with us to conduct the meeting. At 6:30 we will enjoy a pot-luck supper. Last year over thirty were out to enjoy this fellowship and stayed for the meeting. At this conference the members of the Official Board and committees will be elected for the new year beginning July 1. We cordially invite all members and friends of our church to come meet and participate in this meeting. "See you in church Sunday." ilpMMiRAM:.- WINNER . Bill Bethke, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bethke of Barrington, took a definite stride towards a musical career recently when he waB declared second place winner of the Morrice B. Sachs amateur hour program broadcast over WENR. For his outstanding performance in playing "Jealousy" on the electric organ on the March 5 program, Bill was called back to the studio to receive his prizes. He was awarded $40 in cash, a valuable wrist watch and two dozen American Beauty roses. TOLOR BLIND It is estimated that about one driver in twenty has difficulty in distinguishing various colors. Defective color vision is found to be five times more prevalent in men than in women drivers. The percentage of all drivers who find it hard to distinguish between green and red in traffic lights, however, is extremely small. ROBERT ROBINSON CANDIDATE FOR OOP N<O MINFi ATION Robert W. "Bob" Robinson, candidate for nomination as representative in Congress for thtf fourteenth district, was orphaned in childhood and he and his sister Margaret were reared by their uncle. He received his general education in both public and parochial schools in Aurora. He followed this with specialized training in Gregg College and, during his service in the U. S. Marine Corps, at the University of Hawaii. Mr. Robinson believed that the Republican party needed new faces and new strength. He has discovered the same type of feeling from the public regarding the fourteenth district's representation in Congress and was influenced to attempt the difficult task of defeating the present congressman. Mr. Robinson believes that the voter is no longer content with the Washington viewpoint and demands that its representative act for local interests. The, candidate, who is 37 years old. married Marilyn Kiene in 1949, and they live in Aurora, fte is a member of the American Legion. Veterans of Foreign Wars. American Veterans of World War II, Disabled American Veterans. Police Magistrate's Association of Illinois, * Aurora Chamber of Commerce, and the Phoenix Club. Previous to his entry into the armed services, Mr. Robinson was salesman and then sales manager for Farm Building Contsruction and a court reporter. At present time he is completing his third year as police magistrate of the city of Aurora. A-rro VISION Most people can see 90 degrees to each side while concentrating on the road straight ahead. This "corner of the eye" gives good drivers a 180-degree field of vision and makes it possible for them to see dangers at the sides as well as ahead. A field of vision of 140 degrees or less is considered under par. CLARENCE'S SHOP Full line of lawn furniture, bird houses, picnic tables, porch and lawn swings.

Communion Sunday The holy season of Lent is rap-^ idly coming toxfcn end. It has passed the h^lfyrliy mark * and that brings us that much closer to the; date of the council's big event-- our Communion Sunday. The time designated as a Communion Sunday throughout the nation for all Knights of Columbus is April 30. The place will be St. Mary's church and it will be a family affair. Our Catholic ' activity committee is working to complete plans for this big affair but more of this in later columns. You might circle that date on your calendar--April 30. Oar Council On Dec. 15, 1907, fifty-seven Catholic gentlemen met in Stoffel's hall, and our council was organized. DD J. J. Cooney and Master of Ceremonies J. J.
