Whynot and John Krai, tru : -- Looking ahead to the many attractions promised by the city in the approaching holiday season, we feel we must extend a note of congratulations to those men and women, most of them in business, who started very early to assure a festive season for all of us in McHenry. We realize that a competitive business world necessitates early planning, but the comparatively few who take a lead indicate that every merchant does not take the responsibility necessary for a successful city program. The more attractive Christmas can be made in McHenry, in the same proportion will local businesses benefit from the dollars to be spent by shoppers. A Chamber of Commerce plays a very important role In the business life of a city. From strictly a reporting angle, without holding menaJ^,-,. ship in the organization, it becomes clear that the same names continue to be prominent in programs intended for the good of all. The community should be grateful, for their efforts make the shopping, season ahead a little easier, and a great deal more pleasant, for all of us. The fact that the non-workers (Continued on page 3) in regular ses® II ngew concrete street lit, are Donald clerk; Jolui regular meeting last Thursday, the board of the village Lakemoor voted to install flew concrete street signs throughout the village.

A variety of important bus - less came before the county board of supervisors in regular session Tuesday of this week. The long delayed decision on zoning at Berryiand, near Wonder Lake, was forth coming when the board approved one request of the owner, Peter Berry, and denied another because the vote lacked the necessary three-quarter approval.

However, the 15 to 13 favorable vote on the petition to rezone a small, 15-foot square tract from "F" farming to "B-2" business was not sufficient i'o carry. Berryland, since 1958, has enjoyed a variation for a private club operation, whi : i is confined to members only. The lack of a large enough approval prevents the owner from obtaining a tavern zoning which would make it open to the public. Board Chairman Walter D^an said the license Committee of the county had beeaiifonn: iby the head of the fllinois State Liquor commission that restrictions on club licenses are severe. George Lowe, chairman of the county license committee, had referred to communication from the state commission, informing that 10 organizations, clubs or i.-n'iiMtj in the county qualify for club license (members only), VISIT COUNTY HOMI 'he board and members of the press were invited t) a luncheon at Valley Hi, the county home, with food being donated by food vendors who supply the home. The purpose of the visit was to acquaint all mcmV? •' with first hand information on the acute shortage .if space. Another vote on construction at Valley Hi is believed to be forthcoming in the near future. While the vote for expansion wis favorable last spring, it was insufficient to meet the requirements. However, the necessary appropriation was included in the budget. A now insurance policy for county policies was adopted, w:th a two-year contract given to Time Insurance Co. Thirty- five policies were investigated and it was the opinion that this was the best. It was announced that ;he county sales tax for the month of July amounted to $14,324.- 27.
