PRESCRIPTION CHEMISTS • Quotation by Quintus Ennus 200 B.G» We Hate To Crab but there have been quite a number of incidents lately where ' property has been destroyed due I to children trespassing on others' property. The mail boxes near i Meadow Lane and Broadway have i been, tampered with and the flags j jammed.' This might seem like a very harmless joke to someone but when it involves extra work on j the par^ of the mailman it is just ! interfering with mail service. ! There is a barn near the subdivi- ) sion on the hard top road to Johnsburg that has been broken in to and bales of hay broken and ruined. Community signs and other things have disappeared. As I have Said before I fail to recognize as a practical joke anything that destroys the work or, property of others. We should all try to teach our children never to touch things that do not belong to us or to trespass on property that is hot ours. And then sec that they don't. It's as simple as that. My mother used to say that even with teaching she didn't know CLAIRE BEAUTY SHOPPE -- Our Operators are All Hairstylists -- 200 So. Green Street McHenry, 111.

As this modern kitchen clearly shows, today's trend is to electricity. And perhaps the best example of this is the electric range. Smart looking, convenient. Insulated on aTl 6 sides (as/are all electric ovens) you get even, steady heat for baking and roasting. No guesswork with electric surface uriifs either. The heat you set is yours automatically every time. And the heat goes directly into the bottom of the pan, not up the sides and into your kitchen. But the thing you'll appreciate most is the way your electric range stays modern--year after year. / See your electric appliance dealer $ Public Service Cotftpany ;#li! gust 21 held in McHenry.
