Do it .now"! Don't' Jump to Conclusions! ' Thomas E. Coughlan of H. C. Speer and Sons Co., dealers in municipal bonds, addressed the president and trustees at the ""test" meeting of the village board on Monday, Jan. 11. He explained the different meth1 odfc of financing a large pr.ojecr, such as community water and sewage disposal plants. However -- this does NOT mean the village is ready to undertake either of these projects at this time!! It is something that must be considered for the future* but that could be five to ten or more years from now. According to Mr. Coughlan, tHp(re are three methods of financing with only two of them proving feasible, i'hev are: 1- General obligation bonds, 2- Revenue bonds, and 3-Special assessment. There are too many disadvantages to ...the third method and is not generally recommended. Mr. Coughlan( offered his assistance to the village whence" we are ready for that kirnJ of help. It is a program for every one to consider - but is not even in the planning stage yet. Road commissioner Don Parenti reported on the meeting held with W. A. Rakow concerning the spring road program.

L o n g e r hours of darkness, frost-coated windshields, snow and ice, wet highways, temperature changes-- these are problems every driver has to face in winter. Adjusting to the added hazards is especially important for all drivers, says O. L. Hogset t, extension safety specialist at the University of Illinois.. The Illinois Rural Safety Council recommends the following basic rules as musts for meeting the problems of wini ter driving: ^ A. Accept your responsibility-- * don't blame' the weatherman. Be prepared to meet the situation. Get the "feel" of the road-- control your speed to meet conditions. You can't stop on an icy dime. Keep your windshield clear --you have to see danger to avoid it. Use tire chains and good tires--don't rely on wornsmooth tires. Tire chains definitely help on snow and ice. but extra caution is still a must. Pump your brakes--a fast pumping action will stop you faster and safer on ice than any other method of braking. Follow at a safe distance-- give yourself plenty of room to stop. And thi£ added bit of advice to cover the situation generally: Ease up in a freeze-up! Eight Holiday Hills women have discovered a way to have a good time and help a worthy cause at the same time.
