Chief Earl Murray of the McCullom Lake Force received a call from the Sheriffs department to investigate the accident which occurred at 9:30 a.m. The "66 blue convertible assumed totally demolished, was discovered in the east ditch off Ringwood road, aifid contained a kit of bui-glary tools.

Ken Loesch and Officer Greg Burg, Jr., of the McCullom Lake police together with Deputies Williams, Ken Loesch (no relation), McLaughlin and Lt. Bob Madsen of the County Sheriff's department searched the area for two hours without turning up the whereabouts of the two young men.

Dale Barnett, 3904 West Maple avenue, was recently the recipient of a $35 cash award at the hands of Capt. W. F. Harvey, commanding officer, Navy Electronics Supply office, where he is employed as a supervisory supply clerk in the provisioning division. Acting under ESO's Incentive Awards program, Barnett proposed a reduction in size of the first four pages of a given list used in connection with IBM cards. It was found that since these pages are in constant use, when reduced to one-fourth page size, they actually were much more convenient for the provisioning specialists. His suggestion was therefore accepted by the general panel. In addition to the cash award, Mr. Barnett received a letterbf commendation for his effdrt to save the government money.

City Votes To Widen Crystal Lake Blacktop (Continued from page 1) the McHenry Chamber of Commerce, one of which requested permission to attach Christmas trees to parking meters. This was approved since it did not conflict with a standing rule not to permit advertising on meters. However, the council stipulated that trees should not be attached to meters before Dec. 1. The letter of application stated that trees would not prevent the operation of meters. The second request of the Chamber of Commerce requested that the city donate $1,000 toward Christmas decorations, an increase of $250 over last year. The request for increase was based on sales tax increase. HoweVer, it has been pointed out that increased income has not kept pace at this time with required expenditures in the expansion of the city, the council voted approval of $750" and stipulated that all business areas be considered in the decorating program.
