Shop In McHenry SUPERVISORS VOTE 15 TO 12 " FOR WEST SITE (Continued from Page 1) brought out some angry words from Supervisor Charles Weingart of McHenry on charges of a pressure movement. The incident, or long standing, had its start with a request by Peter Baker & Son of Lake county to establish a blacktopping plant on both sides of the highway near Lakemoor. On the original opinion of State's Attorney Cross that a temporary permit was required only if the plant should service local roads, the zoning board refused to grant the right to establish the plant in this location. Later, Mr. Cross reversed his opinion. When the zoning committee refused to change its decision the Baker suit for $20,000 resulted. Makes Offer More recently, the plaintiff told the committee it would drop the suit if one of the two permits was granted, allowing the company to build on one side of the highway. Weingart charged the offer was a pressure movement toward the zoning committee and said it should be3'made clear that any decision of the committee to grant the permit on this occasion would not set a precedent for any future decision. He questioned the worth of the board if its unanimous decision could not stand. A motion later passed, giving full board support' of any committee action. County Highway Commissioner Wayne Mentzer was present at the long meeting to invite the board and press in attendance to an open house in the new county highway building on Rt. 47. Ray Deneen of Marengo was named to the zoning board of appeals to replace Howard Tanner. Mr. Crabb of Harvard was selected as chairman of the board. Named to the grand jury were Vivian Howard, John Lorenz, E. Jaques and William Moreth of McHenry township.

Many Safety Suggestions Offered ^ .A number of Christmas fire safety suggestions have been issued by the Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention, in cooperation with firemen of Company I. 1. Purchase a freshly-cut tree which has been stored out-ofdoors. Keep it outside until it is needed. Don't set it up until a few days before Christmas, or better yet, wait until Christmas Eve. 2. To prepare the tree for indoor use, saw off the butt end at an angle. About 1 inch above the bi)tt, cut some vertical groves into the tree trunk. Place the tree in a secure holder that has a water container in its base. Keep the tree butt standing in water and add water every day to keep the level above the grooves you cut in the trunk. 3. The location of the tree is of vital importance whether it is in the home or in hotels, churches, hospitals or places of public assembly. Do not place near any stairway or elevator because they act as a "flue" and carry fire to upper floors. If doors are near the tree, they should be kept closed. An inspection of the tree should be made every morning by a responsible person to determine whether the tree is safe to have the lights turned on again that day. REMEMBER - a SMALL tree can be as beautiful as-- but less hazardous than -- a LARGE one. 4. Locate the tree in the coolest part of the room. If necessary, shut off any nearby radiator or hot air register. This will let the tree stay green longer. Don't place the tree near any stove or fireplace or other source of heat or direct flame. 5. Anchor the tree with wire at the top to prevent it from fnlline over. the horse-and-buggy. Use only electric lights and see that all wiring is in perfect condition. Don't buy or use any light set that does not carry ti^ approval and label of the Underwriters' Laboratories. 6. Pretty lights are the "heart" of the tree's beauty. Never use wax candles on a tree -- they're as outdated as 7. Locate in your fuse cabinet the fuse that controls the tree lights--it must never exceed the 15-ampere size. If that fuse "blows" when you turn on the tree lights, you must remove other electrical appliances on that circuit over the Christmas season to prevent over-loading that circuit. 8. From time to time inspect thec^tree to see whether any of the needles near the lights have started to turn brown--if they have, relocate the tree light causing it. REMEMBER! It takes less than 60 seconds for the average tree to b£ir|v up' completely! . t 9. Ttirn fhtf • tree lights when the family leaves, the home office Don't leave children alone or unattended while the tree is on display. 10. Do not use any cotton, paper or flammable material for decorating the tree or fice tro Hay/' or Holiday around the base of the tree. Do not place electric trains or other electric powered devices around the tree because metallic tinsel can fall across the track, cause a short circuit and Start the train transformer to burn. XX. Avoid toys operated with flammable liquids. Nitrocellulose (it looks like celluloid or plastic) toys burn with surprising ferocity. Some imported toys in the past have been cheaply made of these flammable materials. 12. Select your electrical appliance gifts with firesafety in mind. Choose only those electrical toys and tree-decorative lighting sets which are approved by the Underwriters' Laboratories. Look for that "label" on the device. In case of doubt, ask your Fire Department if they are approved. 13. Never place lighted candles in windows. Sentiment and flame do not mix! Keep the curtains or any other flammable material at windows pulled back at least 6 inches from any electric candles or wreaths. 14. As you unwrap your gifts on Christmas Day, put all the wrappings in a carton and dispose of them promptly. Don't let them pile up around the tree or the fireplace or any heating device. 15. Christmas costumes and paper or cloth decorations can be flame-proofed by dipping them in the following solution, wringing them out by hand and allowing them to dry. 3 quarts warm water, 7 oz. borax, 3 oz. boric acid. OR 2 lbs. diammonium phosphate and 1 gal. water 16. Sometimes, in spite of careful planning, fires will occur. SO, pre-plan any possible fire incident. The Fire Department recommends that if fire does occur, you do the following in this order of sequence: 17. Write the Fire department's telephone number on a pad and post it near the. telephone^. Be sure everj^ne~in the family knows where the nearest fire alarm box is located and that they know how to operate it. Provide a watertype fire extinguisher (or even a pail of water) in a closet near the tree. ' 18. As soon after Christmas Day and when you notice the tree is beginning to dry out, remove it from the building and dispose of it--don't leave it back of the garage for another couple of months.
