PLAINDEALER PHOTO HOLIDAY HILLS NEWS INEZ YOUNG 385-4672 PROPERTY OWNERS EXPRESS CONCERN OVER SPEEDING Friday evening, March *28, the Holiday Hills Property Owners Association met at the V.F.W. in McHenry. The new president, Bill Boettcher, opened the meeting at 8:30. Several residents expressed great concern about cars speeding in the subdivision, and on Sunset Drive, in particular. It was agreed that all present would make a concerted effort to reduce their speed and to talk to their neighbors in an effor to make everyone conscious of the danger. When the roads are graded and in good condition, speeding becomes a real problem and it is the desire of the association to bring it to the attention of residents before a tragedy occurs. It is impossible for any vehicle to stop suddenly on gravel roads, even at reduced rates, it takes several car lengths to stop. This would be too late if a youngster chases a ball into the street without looking. Being aware of the problem of speeding cars, parents are also urged to caution the children and watch the little ones closely so they do not wander out into the road. A committee was formed to investigate possible solutions to the problem. Harold Freese, Nunda Township supervisor, addressed the group about the township election and invited them to the township meeting held Tuesday, April 1, in Crystal Lake, and then went into a general discussion about township business and how it effects Holiday Hills. A letter to be sent to all residents from the Better Roads for Holiday Hills Committee was read and President Bill Boettcher said that altho this is not an association project, they endorsed it and will cooperate with them in their efr forts. EASTER EGG HUNT Saturday, March 29, the fields from Elm Street to Evergreen and Evergreen to Catalpa were alive with all the bubbling enthusiasm that accompanies an Easter egg hunt. Forty dozen colored eggs were hidden with a gold and silver egg in each age class for special prizes. Eggs with stars on them also earned rewards. Although it was impossible to determine the number of youngsters present, I'm sure that a great many homes Have already had a head start on the hard boiled egg9 season. First prizes for gold eggs were won by Mark Exline and Nancy Harper, and Silver eggs were found by Ken Szamlewski. Three cheers for Bill and Vi Abbink for making all the arrangements and to their helpers, Phyl Harper, Mickey Walters and Gloria Smith, and to all who donated the eggs.

HAPPY DAZE A happy birthday to our friend and neighbor of 'long standing', Eunice Heise, who celebrates by Aime Ashley Q. How can I make the pouring of liquids or powders from large containers into narrownecked jars or cans easier? A. Since a funnel of the right size is seldom at hand, quickly fold ordinary kitchen-type aluminum foil double to give it added strength, then roll into a cone to create a shape which will serve as an efficient funnel. The small end of this cone can be rolled as tight as needed to fit into the neck of the bottle. Q. How can I tighten up the cane seats of chairs which have become loosened by repeated strain? A. By going over the seats with a cloth soaked in hot wa- . ter, then setting the chairs in the sun to dry. Q. How caa I improve the looks of powdered sugar cake icings? A. Add a few drops of lemon juice, which makes the icing very white. Q. How can I remove grease spots from rugs? A.v One often-successful method is to spread a paste of dry-cleaning fluid and powdered starch over the spot and let this dry completely. Then carefully scrape and vacuum up the dry dust. Stubborn sports may call for several applications. Q. How can I repair a cigarette burn In one of my upholstered furniture pieces? her?? birthday, tomorrow, April 3, and a happy anniversary to Midge and Don Teuber who celebrate their anniversary on April 7. Speaking of happy daze, our home had some especially joyful days this past week with Tom Dougherty home for spring break from school in Oklahoma and the long awaited return of a very special boy from Vietnam. Rich Harrison surprised us with his return last Saturday evening. A. One often-satisfactory repair can be effected by darning the hole in close stitches with a color-matching yarn, then placing a damp cloth over the spot and ironing the area. Q. How can I make a good job of cleaning copper? A. If you'll rub copper with salt and lemon juice or with salt and vinegar, you'll have it clean and sparkling richly in jigtime. Q. How can I do a good job of straining out a can of old, lumpy paint? A. Cut out a circular piece of screen wire that just fits inside the can, about % - inch less in diameter. Dropped in at the top of- the can', the circular piece of wire will sink slowly to the bottom, carrying all the lumps with it. Q. How can I induce head lettuce to stay" fresh longer? A. Avoid washing it until ready to use. Then wash only what is to be used at that time -- returning the rest (unwashed) to the refrigeratorv Many other such helpful tips are contained in my householdhints book. Q. How can I retard tarnish on my silverware? A. Simplest way to do this is rinse the silver thoroughly after every washing. Even the slightest soapy residue will hasten tarnishing. s J Entertainment Every Friday Night FEATURING THE UNPREDICTABLES Public Invited V. F. W. CLUB Rt. 120 McHenry, III.
