McHenry Shores SECRETARY FOR DIRECTORS IS BUSY WOMAN Patt Petersen - EV. 6-5425 Notice Remember that Feb. 15 is the deadline for securing your 1962 vehicle tags. Be sure to take care of this important matter, don't let it go until the last minute. Snow Removal Village president John Bonder deserves everyone's appreciation on the thorough job of snow removal done on our village streets following the severe snow fall of the past week. This assures every resident a fair chance to get out to the highway and keeps the ways clear for emergency vehicles. It is very important during the extremely cold weather that all residents exercise caution about turning their heating devices up to a higher flame. We urge you to keep the setting on oil fueled devices at the same safe level as always and keep your thermostat settings at no higher than 75. Most winter fires are' due to overheating, so keep this in mind when tempted to increase the settings. Student Attendance Our congratulations to the school children on the sacrifices they have made to bundle up and attend school when it would have been so easy to stay in a nice warm bed these subzero mornings;. It was with a feeling of pride that we noticed the usual number of children braving the artic temperatures while others hereabouts were taking tlie days off. We are all proud of you hardy young people! Ingeborg Corcoran was elected to the board of directors in May of 1961 and is serving a two year term. She is now secret ary of the board and has previously held the office of recording secretary of the M.S.C. for three or four years. "Ing" and her husband, Bill, moved to McHenry Shores from Chicago in 1855 and have found "country living" much to their liking. Bill is a salesman for advertising specialties and Ing works for an automobile agency as a bookkeeper and office manager. This member of the board of directors has three very feminine and w o n d e r f u l h o b b i e s ; s e w i n g , cooking and gardening. Needlework seems to be her greatest, love, since she has tried everything from crocheting to making lace. She has just finished making an afghan for her sister, which has taken her two years to complete. Her friends say it is one of thite most beautiful they have ever seen. There are also several items in her home exquisitely covered with needlepoint, which slie has done herself. Cooking, Swedish style, is another specialty of hers. One of her greatest wishes is to make a Swedish smorgasbord with all the trimmings but seeing as she is married to an Irishman, she more than likely will come up with Mulligan stew. Ing Corcoran attended Lakeview high school and went on to business college. While in high school she was a very active member of the Beta Gamma Upsilon sorority. Ing is also a member of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs and a past president of the American Daughters of Sweden. The Corcorans have one son living in Winneconne, Wis., and are very proud of their five grand children. The prize1 for the most unique display was awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Schopp, 607 Orchid Path. Congratulations on such good work. January 1992 Loss Mrs. Loretta Ramage, 3107 Kiniy, and William Pinkonsly, Sr., 3010 Beach Drive, are offered our condolences on the death of their father. Home from Hospital We were glad to hear that Mrs. Julia Ziemet, 3105 Kinley. is now home from the hospital. Boy Scoot Troop An urgent effort is being made to secure a replacement for Walter Para who resigned as scoutmaster after serving the boys of the area in this capacity for the past three years. The scout executive, the troop committee and the V.F.W. wishes to assure the scouts and their parents that we will have a replacement in the immediate future. Hawaiian Touch Mildred Snively gave a birthday dinner for Daisy and John Smith Tuesday night, Jan. 9, in honor of Daisy's birthday.

Neck Trouble Your humble correspondent suffered another injury to his neck as a result of a collision while driving his truck Tuesday. It happened in Schaumburg township .when his vehicle was struck from the rear by a skidding car.

Skaters Getting a Break W e a t h e r p e r m i t t i n g , t h a t kind gentleman, John Hosie, will plow a rink at the big beach for the youngsters of the village. Local Firemen Busy Local firemen answered two calls last week. One was a minor fire at Club Lilymoor in a neon transformer which burned a hole in one of the walls. In answering the other call the firemen assisted Company No. 1 at a fire in a home on Fox street in McHenry. Chickenpox Anyone? After having overstayed his welcome at the Calvert residence, Mr. Chickenpox has moved on to visit the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ewaid. They, however, did not exactly greet him with open arms. It seems Mr. C. has also stopped at the home of Johnny and Tony Weber, Cathy Clark, and Suzy Lamerand. Anyone want a visitor? Hope you're feeling better, kids. Christmas lingers On The decorations for the Christmas season at McHenry Shores this year were very beautiful. A lot of time and effort went into the making of them. Many people were seen driving slowly by in front of the homes and admiring the many ingenuous displays. Mr. and Mrs. John Hinz, 803 Pearl street and Mr. and Mrs. William Pinkonsly Sr., 3010 Beach drive were tied for first prize. Birthdays and Anniversaries A happy -birthday goes to Robert Hawkins who will celebrate his day on Jan. 18. The eighteenth is also a special day for Henry and Reva Peters who will be celebrating their anniversary. Bad Weather Friends The bitter cold and drifted snow ha? us muttering under our mufflers and shaking our fists at Ol' Man Winter. It also has us giving our hand to our neighbors. Garages are offered to stranded motorists. Men are stopping on their way to work to help with stalled cars. Wives are calling other wives to let them know of certain snowdrifted roads which their homebound husbands would be unaware of. Friends willingly go out of their way to bring fellow employees to work because their cars refuse to start. Coffee and a warm house are offered to stranded motorists. These are small sacrifices, indeed, but they warm the heart and, some how, help to keep out the cold. The story, short; the plot, simple; the cast of characters, very nice neighbors. Joimfburg SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION RITE JANUARY 28 Betty Hettermann 7,577 Phones In Local Exchange Alexander Graham Bell would find the widespread use of his now-famed invention hard to believe if he were aliye today. It's unlikely that he had. ideas of trans-oceanic or satellite communications when he invented the telephone in 1876. "During 1961, 422 telephones were added in the McHenry Exchange," said Robert C. Zahn, local manager for Illinois Bell. "This brings the total phones here to 7,577." From these telephones an estimated 2,303,000 annual local and long distance calls are made, Mrs. Peggy Gayeski, chief operator here, reports. "Some of these calls are among the more than 4,000,000 overseas messages made during a recent twelve month period," she said. Mrs. Gayeski noted that overseas calling has increased from 11,000 calls in 1927--the first year of the trans-Atlantic cable--to rrvwe than 4,000,000. Word was received from Bishop Lane last week that the Sacrament of Confirmation will be administered at St. John's church on Sunday, Jan. 28. The Mass will be at 11:45 a.m. on this day. The adults who are not converts and the children will participate in this service. Those being confirmed must have their Baptismal certificate and a sponsor. Those who were not baptized in St. John's church must obtain their Baptismal certificate from the church where the rite was performed. The sponsor must be a person who has beeap confirmed and may not be the same one who was the sponsor at the time of JBaptism. Girl Scout News No meetings were held for troop 295 and 378 last week b e c a u s e o f t h e i n c l e m e n t weat her. Forester Bowling Party St. John's Court No. 96, C.O.F. bowling party begins on Feb. 17 at the local bowling establishment. The bowling will continue on through the 18, 24 and 25 of next month.

On the Move Mrs. Helen Hettermann and Joe Smith left this cold .weather behind last Thursday when they hopped on a train headed for Florida. They expect to spend six weeks visiting their daughters and families. Mrs. Hettermann will spend her time in Pompano Beach visiting the Jack Keenans, while Mr. Smith will be guest in the Bill Tamasy home in Fort Lauderdale.

Training, Obedieace, Hmfe&g & ReM©ving Custom T.V. Topics by Ed Vestgara Television Ghosts Folks often ask us at CUSTOM T.V. about ghost images on their TV screen, and want to know how to correct it. Here's what happens . . . Your antenna receives a continuous signal direct from the TV sending station. A nearby high object like a hill or building can reflect this same signal a thousandth of a second later to follow the direct signal ijito your antenna. The result is two images on your screen. Low cloud formations during bad weather will cause this, too. In many cases a better antenna with more directivity can solve the problem of nearby reflection. Sometimes the lowering or raising of your antenna will correct the problem. Wind will shift antennas out Of position over the years, too.
