Notes From The Village B<>ard Frank Low was present at the last meeting of the president and trustees, Monday, Dec. 6, to explain insurance policies for municipalities to cover village officials and any employees that might be retained, including chief and police officers. The board will investigate the advisability of purchasing same. This type of insurance was not made available until late '57, so is comparatively new. Harry Lock, road commissioner, reported that the insurance company has promised to install a new Gate 2 sign, which went down, following a car accident at that intersection some months ago. He also proposed drainage work on Eastwood Drive from Maple Hill to Orchard Drive, utilizing motor fuel tax funds. Mr. Heck, a representative of Baxter and Woodman, village engineeers, explained the work in detail. When the proposition was put to a vote, two. trustees passes, one voted aye, one nay. President Stuhlfeier broke the tie by voting nay. Further investigation of the project will be forthcoming. The main objection was the use of m.f.t. monies for the work. Don Parenti, chairman of the s p e c i a l c o m m i t t e e t o h a v e copies made of the village ordinances, reported progress along this line and they should Do It Yourselfers WHOLE HOUSE TURBO - FLOW HUMIDIFIER $35.00 "PATENT PENDING More than enough for a 2000 square foot house POWERED BY ' EXCLUSIVE NEW AIR TURBINE : Bernard J.

Chief Earl Murray reported a car out of control in the early hours of Sunday, Dec. 5, which caused consternation when a gas regulator was broken, in the vicinity of Gate 1. He lost several hours of sleep, but the condition was remedied in short order, with no inconvenience to residents. One more way in which our fine department serves its public! The Cullom-Knoll association announced they will petition the board for a zoning variation in order that the present beachhouse can be enlarged to the west of the present building. They will use the newly purchased property. A public hearing pertaining to the matter will be called in the near future. There will be no more meetings this year and the next is called for Monday, January 3, 1966 at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. Nice to see more residents taking an interest and coming out for the meetings. Youngsters Cause Hazard With Sprays Pressure cans of hair spray, caused an episode which should be of interest to parents having children riding the Junior High School bus that comes to McCullom Lake. Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 8, the bus with a new driver ( a lady) was forced to stop on Washington Street in McHenry after leaving the school. It seems the kids became playful and inundated the interior of the bus with the solutions, making visibility for the driver impossible. Several of the passengers used foul lanwhen they were remonstrated. For this reason, the students were requested to bring a note from their parents with a good reason why they should be allowed to ride the vehicle. Since some notes were not forthcoming, it was felt that the offenders did not notify their parents of the episode. Mrs. Cecil Ballowe, proprietor of the bus, asked that this article be published, to clarify the situation. Used properly, these products serve a useful purpose, but certainly Should not be sprayed with abandon, in the interior of a bus. New Vehicle Stickers On Sale Soon Mrs. Carol Bateman, village clerk, has notified us that the 1966 vehicle stickers will go on sale beginning Wednesday, Jan. 5, 1966. Many residents have begun querying about them. It is not necessary to have the new one until the end of the current fiscal year which is March 31. More Surgery For Local Resident Paul Brendle entered the Veteran's Research hospital, 333 E. Huron Street, comer Fairbanks, Chicago, on Friday, Dec. 3. He occupies Room 1450 for those who wish to write to him. He .had eye surgery a week ago Monday, and according to his tests, he is scheduled for one or more operations in the near future. He has been undergoing testing and X-raying during this time. A cheery note would mean so much during the joyous holidays ahead. Mighty lonesome place at this time of the year. Edith has been visiting him as often as possible but cannot remain in the city with him because of their pets. The Brendles' son, Bud, was a patient in McHenry Hospital recently also. His trouble is a bad knee. On The Recovery List Mrs. Mary Tomasello, who had a serious bout with pneumonia and other complications, is mending nicely, according to son, Charles, but her convalescence will be a long one. She is no longer getting oxygen, and the picture is much brighter. A card of cheer would certainly be happily received. She is a patient at McHenry hospital. Fears Alleviated Plans for Christmas were held up at the Stewart Norbert Lorch home awaiting the outcome of surgery for Dorothy's brother-in-law last week. He underwent brain surgery and Was in a critical condition. Dorothy spent a great deal of time in the city to help with the patient and to lend moral support to her sister. We're happy to report that his condition is improving. Always A First Time Dorothy Cunningham, who never even won a free street car token in her life, was the recipient of a handsome clock radio at her company's Christmas party last Saturday. The party was held at the V.F.W. and was sponsored by the union. AH employees and their spouses were treated to a sumptuous roast beef dinner and later there was an excellent orchestra for dancing. The award was made by Bill Dreyer, who is president of the union. His wife, Joan, came as his guest. Also present from the village were Nancy and Ken Loesch and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Hocin. Dorothy claims it is a pleasure to arise in the morning (Wh-a-a-t?) with soft music playing in her ear.

FIGHT JAP BEETLE Spores of milky disease, a natural control for Japanese beetle larvae, have been released on 20 acres of agricultural land us^ed for soybeans in southwestern Illinois near East St. Louis. Dr. W. H. Luckmann, head of the economic entomology section of the Illinois Natural History Survey, reported the experiment. Milky disease is an enemy of the Japanese beetle but does not affect other insects and wildlife. This is the first such attempt ever made in Illinois by any state or federal agency to control the Japanese beetle by means of the milky spore disease. Development and spread of the infection and its effect on infestations of the beetle will be checked continuously by insect pathologists, Joseph Maddox of the Natural History Survey and Paul H. Schwartz Jr. of the Entomology Research Division of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. There is never any scarcity of excuses for doing what you want to do. days ahead. More on that riext week.
