In the next few issttee of the paper there will be an article on each of the men and women running for trustees this April. This week the following article was presented to me by Mrs. Nettie Sarley, who is running on the People's Party. "I have filed a petition in or.j der to run for election as trustee) on April 22, 1955. Mrs. Foss requested me to sort of give an outline of what my interests are and so here it is. "I have lived (here since 1936. From 1936 until July, 1949, I have lived here as a summer resident, from 1949 to the present date a permanent one. During this time, before incorporation, I served as secretary of the Lily Lake Beautifying club for eleven years. I have only this reason for wanting to take a part in the vital parts of the village. We are collecting as revenue many times more than we ever received as a duescollecting club. "In my opinion there are three services that come before anything else, a clean, sanitary beach, good roads and a regular garbage collection. And if there I is any money left, and well tfhere should be, then we can take care of the frills. We are all in need of keeping taxes • down but we also want to improve our property. I, for one, feel it can be done without continual rise in taxes and other activities. If you feel tihat I am worthy, then vote for me on thai aate. I am listed under the title people's Party.

All the region north of U.S. Route' 136 carried potentially dangerous infestations into the winter, and serious damage could develop there in 1955 if conditions during the winter and spring favor corn borer growth. This report was given' by Dr. Harlow B. Mills, chief of the state natural history survey, in an address last week at Urbana. Dr. Mills estimated that , Illinois farmers saved $7,130,000 last year by controlling corn borers, chinch bugs, grasshoppers, army worms and legume insects by title use of various insecticides. ;; " BoA© CONraAC^ The first contracts under" QW.

Most people are. And that's easy to understand when you look at a Buick. "It's big, broad, roomy--powered for thrilling action. In prestige alone, it would seem to carry a high price tag. But when you check into things, you discover this surprising fact: Buick is in the nation's top three when it comes to sales volume--and when it comes to low prices that make such huge popularity possible. The price we show here is one proof of that. And an even bigger one is the soaring success of the 1955 Buick -- hottest car in all Buick sales history. So why miss out on Buick style and power and room and ride when you can have it all if you can afford any new car? Why do yourself out of the fun and pride and deep satisfaction of bossing a big and brawny beauty like the one pictured here, when the dollars you pay for this Buick buy you so much more sheer automobile? And why pay extra for things like direction signals, oil-bath air cleaner, full-flow oil filter^ automatic lighting in the glove compartment--when such things, and more, are yours in every new Buick as standard equipment at no extra cost? Drop in for a visit this week and start checking things. We believe that when you look into this great car--when you see what you get for the low price you pay--and when you discover what happens when you nudge that gas pedal--you'll say it's gospel that Buick's the thrill and the buy of the year, hands down.
