Thursday' May 13, 1965 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Thw§ 7 PISTAKEE HIGHLANDS ROSEMARY LUTZ HYatt 7-8814 TEEN CLUB HOLDS "OPERATION CLEAN UP" SATURDAY On Saturday, May 15, at 1 p,m. the Pistakee Highland Teen Glub will start their job of cleaning the beaches in the Highlands. Your help is needed and invited. Adults as well as boys and girls (even if you are not a member of the club) are asked to join the teen club in this all out effort to improve our community. But remember-- you will be there to work, not play--so come with your work clothes and lots of elbow grease and be prepared to do a day's work. This effort by the teen club is done for the soul purpose of bfeautifying the area. The kids intend to continue this project through the entire summer -- but they will need everyone's co-operation! Anyone that will use the beaches should have the common sense to clean their mess afterwards. The adults are just as guilty as the kids, if not more so because they should have better sense. It seems that no matter what goes wrong--the teens in our area are blamed whether they are guilty or not. I'm sorry to say but adults and kids from other areas are using these private beaches for their own amusement, and not being concerned with appearances leave; everything a shambles--consequently the younger generation is always to blame; Something will have to be done to remedy this situation. These are private areas and are to be used by residents and guests only. I'm hoping somebody is able to come up with a solution soon. Reminders when using the beaches: Clean up your mess. Courtesy and respect for residents living by these areas. Keep noise to a minimum. Use receptacles for garbage. 'Think of these areas as you do your yards. Remember the teen club will keep the grass cut and try their best to keep the areas clean but without the co-operation of everyone this job will be a mighty big one. If everyone does his part the end results will be a nice area in which we all can enjoy.* Rabies A Threat To Area 1 At this month's meeting of the Pistakee Highlands Association, Edward Jelinek, Deputy Rabies inspector, spoke on the importance of all dogs being Vaccinated. With the advent of warm weather, the presence of rabies ih wild-life, especially skunks and foxes in this area poses an immediate threat to your pets. If a pet contracts rabies from a wild animal bite, the owner and his children are usually the first ones to be exposed, which will result in a most unpleasant series of injections to prevent this dread disease. This should prompt anyone having a pet not yet vaccinated against rabies, in the past year, to have their animal immunized immediately with a rabies vaccination. If any skunks or foxes are observed acting in an abnormal manner, report it immediately, so that the matter can be investigated. Mosquito Control Possible Still undqr discussion is ridding the atfea of the pesty mosquitos and other insects. This can be made1 possible by a truck coming in and' spraying the breeding areas and killing before they hatch. A nominal fee will be charged to each home owner. There is a guarantee against property damage and we will be protected for 1 year. A speaker will be present at the next executive board meeting of the association and' more will be available on this suject. Watch this column for the date, as this will be an open meeting and everyone will be welcomed to sit in on this discussion. Saturday, May 22, at the church. If you wish to donate items to the sale, call Vi Krispin, HYatt 7-3574 or Hazel Morley, HYatt 7-3320. On Sunday, May 2, the senior high school youth of Ringwood and Spring Grove met at the church with the Mount Hope youth for an afternoon of softball. Birthdays Best wishes of the day go to the following: Helen Messel on May 11, LaVerne Sarver on May 13 and also on that day Eleanor Brill, Dorothy Johnson on May 14 and to Hazel Rodge on May 15. A very happy birthday to ^ach and every one of you and may there be many more. Residents Attend Convention Jan Janquart attended the seventieth annual convention of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs on Tuesday, May 4, in Chicago. Jan was the delegate of the Pistakee Highlands Women's Club. The high-light of the day was the Memory Lane Luncheon in honor of Past State Presidents. Each lady was given an ovation by President Segraves and after her year's accomplishments were read she was given a lovely orchid. These presidents served from 1923 to 1965. The first day of this 3 day convention at least 50 members of the 11th district attended. A real first for the district was the mental health project--operation sweated. This operation was called operation cooperation. 3,000 sweaters and over 400 bed jackets were collected and given to the mental hospital for women at Elgin. Jan reports that the day was really an enjoyable one and she wishes she could have stayed for the entire three days. Mount Hope Church News The vacation Bible School will be held early this year.

Phono. 385-2081 MCHENRY SHORES BERNICB WILSON 885-4880 Shores Club In Busy Session At the McHenry Shores Club meeting on Thursday night we were happy to welcome some^ new members into the club. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Whiteside, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Houghton and Mr. and Mrs. George Kunzer, and Edward Valek are the new additions and the Cicchinis have come back after an absence of a few years. The dredging of the beach will be started in the near future, the cost being split by the SAC club, McHenry Shores club and) Mr. Miller. Bob Harper reported that the light has been turned on at the beach and that another light is to be'installed at the parking area due to the problem of parkers in that spot. The beach .cleanup problem will soon be with us again and Pinky Pinkonsly has suggested that men not able to get down on the day designated then may get one of the boys in the area to do the cutting for a small fee and Corky Olbinski's name was mentioned as one but no doubt there are many more high school boys who will be happy to earn some extra money. This would have to be worked out by your own group. Robert Mieritz reported for her husband A1 that he had spoken to Mr. Miller and now that the frost and moisture are out of the roads they would be graded and fixed within the next two weeks. A1 and Jerry Mieritz personally had a load of gravel dumped on Beach and Broadway where the road is being undermined from the creek, so a big round of applause to the Mieritz boys. that warm weather is with us hope, every one will start feeling much better, and please let's remember to be kind to one another. All in all it was the best meeting we have had for some months and sincerely hope all our new members will continue to attend and also more of the old ones.

The Winters Are 'Family of the Year* As a part of the observance of National family week at the Community Methodist church the Samuel Winters family were named 'Family of the Year'.

They were elected at a Family Night which was held at the church on Sunday evening, May 2. Sam is serving as a member of the board of trustees, Louise is superintendent of the church school and chairman of local church activities for the Woman's Society of Christian Service. Sandy, Nancy and David are also active in the church in various programs and Mary Ann who is the youngest of the family is the only one not yet able to participate but I am sure that before long she will be joining the rest of the group. Congratulations to the family who must be very proud of the honor bestowed upon them. Big Night at the Bowling Alley Last Wednesday evening the last night of the "trail Blazer League found the L & M Construction, McHenry Recreation and the Dura Clean teams tied for first place and at the end of the official season they were still in the same position.

If you have any news let's hear from you. SPROUTING PLANTS If you're planning on doing some spring planting, setting out trees, shrubs, evergreens, roses and the like, you'd do well to heed the latest word from the Illinois Department of Agriculture and take note that "sprouting plants are a poor investment." New growth may appear attractive to the inexperienced buyer but is really detrimental to the plants. The sprouts consume food stored in the plants, arid later on they may not have enough food in reserve to develop new roots and shoots.
