PG. 4, - PLAINDEALER - WED., OCT., 16, 1968 Country Club N •ws Geri Neubauer MUST PRESENT NEW PETITION ON ANNEXATION The recently discussed touchy Issue of the petition for annexation has taken a new turn the past two weeks. While the signed petition was presented in Woodstock for consideration, it was rejected on the grounds that some of the signatures was obtained many years ago when the petition was first circulated. The recent signatures were added to the old petition without knowing it was outdated. The backers of the annexation petition were urged to initiate a new petition under the guidance of an Attorney, and obtain signatures of those residents interested in annexation and upon completion to again present it for consideration. While this seems like a setback for those who worked so hard to see this petition presented, it seems far better to start fresh on this issue and therefore avoid being rejected again cm the grounds of outdated material. Hie City of Mc- Henry has agreed to go along with the filing of this petition providing 50 percent of the Country club citizens involved are willing to sign the new petition, so perhaps under the guidance of an attorney a speedy presentation can be made. If you have any ideas concerning this recent development, either pro or con, please call me. WELCOME BANNER WAVES HERE A large banner across the front of the house and the American Flag welcomed Sgt„ William Miller to his Aunt's house on John street this past weekend. Mrs. Dorothy Miller had surprised her nephew with a "Welcome Home - Vietnam Hero" on the banner which was spread across the entire front of her home. Sgt. Miller was recently discharged from the Air Force where he served one year in combat in Vietnam. Mr .and Mrs. George Miller of Chicago are William's parents and equally proud of their son and enjoying his safe return home. SPEEDY RECOVERY WISHES A speedy recovery to Mrs. Elaine Ziszik of Virginia Avenue on hfer return home from Rockford hospital where she underwent minor eye surgery. PHONE CALLS BECOMING A NUISANCE During the past few weeks I have received several calls from our residents asking what if anything could be done about the recent phone calls in our area. If you have received vulgar calls at your home you undoubtedly know the feeling of shock you experienced. The advice of the; phone company is to hang up immediately, as any expression of surprise or disgust only 385-7194 encourages the caller to continue. It seems to be consistent among the people that have called that the calls come in early evening, so if you have had such an experience it is advised by the phone company that you answer all calls your self rather than having your children answer them. Hanging up immediately usually stops this kind of person from annoying you, however, if the calls persist call your phone company for assistance in this problem. LEAVES TO BURN???? If you are going to burn all those fallen leaves please check the warnings that appear frequently in this paper as to dry conditions. Don't start too big a fire and stay close by at all times. NO BIRTHDAYS? I have not received any calls other than the annexation issue and the other ideas already mentioned. If you do enjoy this column how about giving me a hand with the news, surely someone in your household has a birthday, anniversary, or special occasion. If you'll phone in those special dates F11 keep trying to bring the neighborhood pews to you weekly. Fair enough? Ull next week?

RUBINOFF CONCERT When David Rubinoff appears in popular concert in Woodstock at the W.C.H.S. auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 23, he will preform as violin solos the full score of Chopin's Polonaise, the Warsaw Concerto, and the Rhapsody in Blue. The American public has grown to love these numbers arranged for piano and orchestra, but Rubinoff feels they lend themselves to violin equally as well. You may purchase tickets from any Woodstock Kiwanian or Rotarian to hear these premiere performances on the violin.
