t tfThmimf, Deeemkec 2ft, 1MB THE McXENRY PLAHIDBALEH McCullom Liki SUBMIT REVISED COST OF DISPOSAL PLANT TO BOARD Eve Levesque Since there was a division of Slplnion on the original cost estimate of our proposed sanitary disposal plant, a revision was requested by the board and was submitted by Baxter and Woodman, village engineers. W. H. Jollie, representing the engineers, addressed the board, and presented the revision. This is" being studied gby the village officials and in jLhe very near future, a brochure explaining the entire system, plus methods of financing will be presented to every family. It would not be feasible for this reporter to cite figures and statistics because without the additional Information, the figures would be meaningless. This is the first large project undertaken by ^5pur incorporated area, and tjhere are a myriad of details which must be followed step "by step. The only thing we do promise, is to keep you INFORMED every step of the way! By way of explanation -- We would like our readers to have advance knowledge as to when these various representa- *ntives will be present. But in Page Fifteen tvtry coat, th» board Ji notified of their appearance only one or two days before a meeting, and on occasion, only a few hours. Since this copy Is prepared four days before publication, ycu can see the conflict. Mr. Sinclair (Skeets) Morris who resides on W. Parkview and works with sanitary sewage systems, was present and his comments invited. He was visibly Impressed with what they are trying to do and has offered his assistance. Following Mr. Jollie's address, routine reports were made by the road; finance, building and zoning; and police chairmen.

From start to finish, Marie McKlm was the accomplished hostess and everything ran smoothly. She had an excellent staff to lend assistance, including Lois Parent i, Petey Schmidt, Elma Nelson and Joanne Mai. The Olsen basement was festooned with appropriate ribbons, roping and icicles. Several nylon Christmas trees in lovely pastel shades served as centerpieces on the tables. The sumptious repast consisted of baked ham, molded salads, potato salad, bakery buns, pickles and olives and a spectacular egg salad in the shape of a Christmas tree frosted with green cream cheese and sliced stuffed olives serving as ornaments. This was Elma's contribution. Lois furnished a milk chocolate cake which was superb. Two kinds of punch were offered. Alice Gustafson was uncontested champ for forming the most words from Merry Christmas and was duly rewarded The gals also played a robber type of game which proved highly successful and enjoyable.

We are all fine and hope you all are also. I get the Plaindealer and enjoy your newsy items very much. Girls are well adjusted now but were quite homesick and will miss the snow, but I won't! We miss our home and the people we knew. Lots of memories up there. The shops here blow soap bubbles off the roofs and looks just like falling snow. Days are warm, nights cold. Plenty of smog, fog, and people but no bugs. Bye now and v\ arm regards from Tommy, John, Alberta and Robbie." This family formerly resided on Maple Hill Drive and are new cozy and warm in Anaheim, Calif. Nice to hear from them and we sure miss them. Tommy was a stalwart member of bur ladies' organization. A Quiz Kid, Maybe? Sandy Josserand, a junior in high school, was, one of several junior and senior students who travelled to Chicago to be interviewed as possible participants on the Saturday p.m. showing of "It's Academic". Phis is a particularly educational and "* intormative show and we wish her success. The results were not available for this copy. Saints or Sinners? Three widowers have pooled their mutual sorrow and other interests and have turned to ways to make the lonely life more meaningful. The gentlemen are Dewey Fricke, Bill Picket, and Wally (?). They .vill call themselves the "Eins, swei, drei guys". The first meeting was held at Dewey's home and he prepared spare ribs and sauer kraut, wearing a chef's cap, of course. They are willing to accept more members but must have the following qualifications. They must be competent cooks, be able to tipple a bit, and must have a knowledge of "66". So tar. they haven't undertaken any vast improvement projects, but at least they are staying out of mischief; (Or, are they?) Furthering Her Horizons One very capable gal that sure isn't "withering on the vine" is our own Mary Kantorski. When the "blues" begin to set in, she packs up her toothbrush and nightie and sets out exploring. Her recent 5-6 week jaunt, •leginning the last of October and ending Dec. 8, started in Wisconsin and then went south. She boarded a bus and paused eic;ht or nine times in Tomah, Wild Rose, Adams, the Dells, Madison, and other colorful hamlets. Her next destination was Kansas City, Mo., for a two. week visit with son, Bob, and his lovin' Laverne. Mary was along on the party to celebrate the couple's first anniversary. They dined at the Hereford House in K. C. with some of the neighbors. She also absorbed much of the local color and points of interest. On the final leg of her jour ney, Mary popped in on daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Loesch in Chicago. During her abscnce, her home was well cared for by nephew, Ken Loesch, who now lives with her. Her return home was saddened by the n«nvs that one of her friends in Wisconsin witn whom she had visited had passed away suddenly. Hospitalized Alice Gustation, now feeling ho*tf»r. was a recent patient at St. Thereae's hospital, Waukegan. During her 6 day stay, she received a complete check-up and medication.

NEW MENTAL CLINIC Ground will be broken in April, 1963, for construction of the first community-centered mental health clinics pioneered by Illinois,Gov. Otto Kerner has announced. Construction will begin on the facility in North Chicago, to be named the John J. Madden Clinic and patients arc expected to be admitted by September, 1964. TRAFFIC REPORT Retaining control of a small ear on snow and ice-covered roads last winter was apparently more difficult th&tT the handling of a heavier vehicle, according to findings of the Illinois Department of Public Works and Buildings Bureau ol i raffic. Thirteen persons were k.lled in small car accidents last year under adverse road conditions, compared to 66 killed in heavier cars driven under the same conditions. A total of 249,906 small cars (shipping weight of less than 2,800 pounds) were registered in Illinois in 1961, or one in sixteen. Translated into comparative percentages, the death toll on snow and ice covered rbads was 7.7 per cent small car fatalities, against 4.8 per cent for the heavier cars travelling Illinois highways. As an additional danger, small cars overturned twice as often as other cars involved in similar ype accidents. HASTE MAKES WASTE The best way to stay out in front of the Christmas rush is not to get behind with your sleep and rest. The Institute for Safer Living advises that haste, excitement, and overexert ion are prime causes of holiday accidents. Start early, allow time for unhurried shopping, house cleaning and decorating activities. Don't overdo late hour parties.
