Decntiber 8. 1959 THE WcHEOTtY PLAINBEJtLER XrByo I UN0n MrCnllnm Lain ENGINEER PLANS SEWAGE DISPOSAL "PLANT PROGRAM Eve Levesque a.a #d/ A sewage disposal plant -- ' 1/or a water supply system --sound BIG? Well, it IS!, and there are many problems to be overcome (mostly financial) before it can be considered. But sooner or later, the village will be forced with the task of ^finding answers. Richard M. Baxter of Baxter and Woodman--civil and s a n i t a r y e n g i n e e r s . C r y s t a l -Lake, presented the facts in 0?at detail to the village board on Monday night, Nov. 23. A survey would have to be made which would include costs involved. Financing is the big step, but help is forthcoming in that department --from the federal government. Mr. Baxter explained that through the Fedeal Housing and Loan associfiWon-- small villages and townships (such as ours)-- which are considered financible are given assistance. The basic methods for financing are thrppfold--anyone or all three may be employed. They are (1) general obligation bond issue, (2) revenue bonds, and (3) special assessment. The first two are backed to: total assessed evaluation £Wd have proved to be the most satisfactory method. The last one is not generally recommended. Mr. Baxter further stated that under state law, Awo drains for sewage are required. The first would drain off all bacterial wastes cotnins; from inside a house. This would require treatment. The second (tetin would be a storm sewer. ^Joncerning a communal water sunp'v pvstem--thpro two kinds. The qualified t.vvs would provide all homes with an edequate supp'v for domr tic needs, and would be cheaper. The second would supply enough water for homes, plus fire, fighting needs. ALSO much more expensive. Tfte subject matter is greatly mndensed, but should provide vmagers with some "food for thought". jammed was at Bjork's with the Men's Club playing hosts. Since both bowling teams were comprised of the local gentry-- no body lost. Events got under way with a big bang when Chet Helwig--president-- took over the floor. Hot turkey sandwiches provided - sustaining fare at this shindig. Presented at the Font Dawn Ellen McKim, born Oct. 2, was christened at St. Patrick's church on Sunday, Nov. 22 at 1:30 p.m. with Father Parker officiating. The godparents were Great-aunt and uncle --Betty and George Baumbeck. Parents of the tiny little miss are Mr. and Mrs. Allan McKim of Greenwood Road, of course. Immediately after the service, the group stopped at the home of Mrs. Helen Schaefer who is bedridden as the result of a fall, so proud great-grandma could observe the wee one in her christening outfit. More about Mrs.. Schaefer in an. other article. P a r e n t s , g o d p a r e n t s a n d guests who included Mr. and Mrs. Jack Jeater of Maywood Park, Eileen and George Boyle of Franklin Park, maternal grandmother, Mrs. Marie Hojnacki and husband, Wally, and great-aunt Nancy and uncle Tony Doolin dinned on a luscious ham dinner served up by the doting mama. Speaking of the McKims, Sunday, Nov. 29, was Marie's natal day and for the occasion, the couple enjoyed dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Boyle of Pistakee Bay. Nov. 28 was the birthday of their son, Jim, and the two special events were combined into one nice party. i* More Council Notes ^fter the enlightening discoui& e from Mr, Baxler, the chairmen of the various committees made their routine reports at the meeting of the village board. Mr. Parenti, road commissioner, stated that tte sand barrels have been placed at strategic corners in the community. The nfext meeting will be held on Monday, Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. Public invited. Fowl and Bowling Parties Plenty of activity and people at McDonald's--and Berenice and Whitey's on Saturday, Nov. 21 with both places featuring ^Rvling first--in town--and then guests returning to the bu«'ne«s )->ou*ps for "feather parties". Again the "city slickc~ c" tpnnpd the local lads who were playing for Mac's. Thi* is getting to be an annual event. All hostilities were forgotten as both factions met for a fine party. Hot beef sandwiches and trimmin's satisfied tj^e "inner man" later in the e»ning. Another party which was Completely Incapacitated ' Just when she was making wonderful progress as a result of a lingering illness, Mrs. Helen Schaefer added "injury to insult"! While doing some moderate household chores, she fell and broke several bones, and suffered additional injuries! She is now completely bedridden-- and in a great amount of pain. In spite of her handicap, she maintains a cheerful attitude, which is completely amazing--under the circumstances. You can imagine how much a "sunshine shower" of cards would boost her morale. Why not remember her today? The address is 402 Park View, McCullom Lake. Here's hoping she is deluged with mail in the next few weeks. Breakfast as Usual Will be offered the first Sunday in Decernb^t* Sftd"fh& date ;s the sixth at Berenice and White.v's with the Men's club serving your needs. If you have never attended--you are missing a good deal. Why not try it this week? How Their Family Grew! Hearing strange noises originating from under their house. ED'! iiEHTAL RENTS Floor Sanders to Rotary Tillers EVergreen 5-4123 ^ ^ A S'N m McHenry's largest and most complete selection of toys to choose from SHRAMM' TOY 301 W. ELM ST. Use Our Convenient in WAY 01 Ray Aalto went to investigate the other ajn. and was greeted with the sight of a small mother beagle hound who had just whelped eight darling little pups! A bale of straw was commandeered from a local farm immediately to provide warmth for the large family. When the news was circulated, sustainance was forthcoming from Lil and Lee Sawdo, Berenice Bjork, John Granath and others who have since volunteered dog food. Unfortunately," by Monday morning, four of the new creatures succumbed but the remaining pups ,are thriving. The story goes that this little beagle has been seen throughout the village for quite some time,, but always eluded her capturers. When her time came, it was her good fortune to seek refuge at the home of a loving couple who were concerned for her. All but one of the pups have been "spoken for" --and will find good homes. That is our happy story for the day! of her tenth birthday, Tuesday. Nov. 24, with mama Anne doing the honors at the stove. Ham, macaroni casserole, and other goodies were "dished up" to young ladies Charlotte and Diane Toerne, Sandy Senter, Karen McKim, Janet Hansen, Barbara Lorch. and sister, Nancy. The lads included Mark Hansen, Michael Reid, J. R. Levesque, and brother, Johnny. After the cake 'n' ice cream, the youngsters were wisked into McHenry and attended the local cinema. A memorable event for this pretty little gal. Successaful Drive The Boy Scout fund drive was completed last week and according to local chairman. Don Parenti. a total of $128 was realized. Many thanks to the men who assisted Don in collecting for this very worthy cause. Honorable mention rnust go to our own Bill (Treutz who was chairman in charge of the entire area. Well done, gents. Ladies of the Lake The women will meet on Thursday. Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. in the beaehhouse to plan for the Christmas party which will be held on the following Thursday. Good time is promised for all and this is a special invitation to the new gals in the community to come out and meet the neighbors. Anniversary Shindig Marge and Art Brand, now of Wonder Lake, but former residents chose the site or Berenice and Whitey's for their fifteenth wedding anniversary soiree. The "bride" was beautifully gowned and adorned with a lovely corsage. Her "soulmate" wore a dark business "uit and had a boutonniere in his lapel. Maree whipped up a huge bowl of fruit punch which was served in appropriate cuns a"d tbp happy couple was "toasted". Sloppy Joe sandwiches, macaroni salad, pickles, olives, 'n' other stuff were provided and consumed with relish. It was a happy event, one which ,the Brands wilL.. long remember.
