At this meeting it was announced that there will lie an op€h forum after every village meeting at which time anyone in the audience will be permitted to ask questions ana answers will be given them if possible. I am sure that this forum will bring many more villagers to the meeting with problems that have been bothering them for some time. It was also decided at this meeting that, the policemen would receive forty dollars per month for a force of six men. The men Well deserve this raise for the amount of hours put in per ' month. A new amendment was made in regard to • dog licenses. Dog licenses will be issued January l, 1955. Police court will now be held in the fire house due to the fact that Mr. McDermott needs his building space for his own purposes. The bids for repairing Highland drive were opened aitd read at this meeting. It was voted on and the contract was awarded to McHenry Sand and oGravel company. 'Mr. Miller says that unless he is stopped by bad weather, the road will be completed in four days after starting date. I am sure all the residents on this road will be glad to hear this news.

House Committee Meeting At the house committee meeting a discussion was held on the purchasing of. equipment for the kitchen but was tabled until a meeting with the firemen board could be held and their plans for the kitchen be talked over.

On birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions, of course. But there's a lot of satisfaction, too, in the spur-of-themoment call that reminds a loved one miles away that you're not so far apart after all. Calling Is So Easy Just tell the Long Distance operator the city, state and number you want. .For example: "Detroit, Michigan, WOodward 2-9999." Then tell her your own number when she asks for it; RemcmL-cr, ser\L: !; fas'.:r v you call by number. (Would you like a free Blue Book for listing your frequently called numbers, including those of out-of-town friends and relatives? Just call us and we'll gladly send you one. Or you can pick one up next time you're near any Illinois Bell Business Office.) Here's Another Tip . Calling a number by Long Distance is known as a "station-to-station" call. It's less expensive. But to be sure of catching a particular person at home, you can place a "person-to-person" call. For example: "I want to speak to Mr. Peter Stewart at Detroit, Michigan, WOodward 2-9999." The rate is higher but when you want to find that particular person, it's worth it. Right now--isn't there someone miles away who'd like to hear your voice? All you need do is pick up your telephone... ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Don't wonder . . . don't worry . . . call today and be sure REPORT UPWARD TREND IN PUBLIC ASSISTANCE ROLLS The Illinois Public Aid Com<- mission has ^reported a continuing upward trend in public assistance rolls in - September: Garrett W.

Give Corn For CROP Logan farmers give wagon loads of corn for CROP. Pictured are two loads which were part of a challenge to find at least ten farmers in the county who would donate a loatl of* corn to help feed the hungry overseas. A major portion of the proceeds from these donations will likely be used to ship government surplus commodities, and as such, will actually deliver as much as twenty times their actual value. These farmers of Logan county have given a challenge to farmers all over the state to give not only a few bushels, but wag-on loads, so that more farm surpluses may be distributed to people so much in need of them.

McHenry, DL m *• . s?;*K * % •«* . ; ABRIGHT NEW FRESHNESS greets your eyes . and tells you: Buick's done it again. You see it ifi the bold distinction of that gleaming Wide-Screen Grille. You see it in the rakish sweep of the rear-end contours. You see it in the whole fore-and-aft newness of fleet-lined grace that marks Buick the beauty thrill of 1955. New horsepower--up to 236 You learn more when you get the power story. Up to new peaks go the horsepowers of every Buick V8 engine --a walloping 188 hp in the low-price SPECIAL -- a mighty 236 hp in the CENTURY, SUPER and ROADMASTER. And it's new, more responsive, far abler power you can literally feel as you go. But even bigger Buick news for 1955 is WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT BUICK Will BUIID THfM:|| something more than style and power. It's what the "variable pitch propeller" noit' has done . for .Dynaflmp Drive,*' Up goes performance -- and gas mileage too When you find it necessary to push the pedal to the floor board, you do more than call on the greatest high-compression V8 power in Buick history. You do what a pilot does when he heads his plane down a runway. You do in oil what he does in air -- you cut down take-off time by using "variable pitch pro- Pellers." In this case, the propeller blades are inside the Dynaflow unit.^But they're engineered to swivel or change their "pitch" just like plane propellers -- and with the same result: one pitch for getaway, another pitch for gas-saving fuel efficiuK j. And what you get in the way of instantaneous safety-surge with absolute smoothness, you can only believe when you feel it. This you have to try Of course, we want you to come and see the trend-setting new Buicks -- look into the betterments in gasoline mileage that add new thrift to these spectacular cars. But this year, "seeing" is only the beginning. So -- while you join the crowds viewing the new Buicks this week end, make a date to get behind the wheel as soon as you possibly can. We promise you the thrill of the year. *Sumd*rd on Roddmssur, optional at txtra cost on Otitr StritU NOW ON DISPLAY R. I. OVERTON MOTOR SALES : • '•sv 403 FRONT STREET PHONE 6 McHENRY. ILLINOIS
