VILLAGE NEWS Mrs. Dienes, from Redland, Calif., visited her mother, Mrs. Josie Giosa, this past week. The visit came as a complete surprise to Josie, who was almost made speechless when her daughter walked in. Verbal orchids to those three young ladies for their ex­ ceptional work on the Cystic Fibrosis drive. Gloria Milbratz, Sue Milbratz and Peggy Burg, collected $108, from the generous residents of our village. A thank you to all who contributed. Little Chris Faucher is recovering from a bout with strep throat and the flu. Please parents, instruct your children on the proper use of bicycles. There have been many complaints from motorists about the kids run­ ning their bike in front of automobiles, some kids say they are playing chicken with motorists. Need more be said? By village law your dog's license must be attached to its collar. This is a good law, if for no other reason than to identify the pet should it get loose for one reason or another. Last Sunday the police had to be summoned to rescue a very wet and frightened Chihuahua from the clutches of a few large dogs, that, by the way, were in their own yards. Although the dog had a very pretty collar on, there was no other iden­ tification on the poor animal. I hope the owners have recovered their pet, perhaps we dog owners have learned a lesson from its misfortune.

COMMENTS It seems that severe weather has been a threat to us all City Clerk Speaks Out On Solicitation The following letter, printed in part, is in answer to a letter sent to Alderman Donald Howard and another to the McHenry Plaindealer's Public Pulse column by Anton P. Rebel, regarding solicitation in the city. Because of the concern voiced by some others in Mr. Rebel's neighborhood, it is felt the information may be of interest to everyone in the community: "Mr. Donald Howard, Alder­ man "1504 N. Riverside Drive "Dear Don: "To assist in answering letter directed to you from Anton P. Rebel and signed by residents in your ward, I will attempt to explain the problems. "I have placed notices in the Plaindealer many times regarding solicitors, explaining that those soliciting magazine subscriptions and some others are operating under interstate commerce laws that prevent municipalities from keeping them out. Our office registers these groups and takes down all the information we can about them. A copy is then given to the police department. I would urge residents to phone the police any time a complaint seems justified.) "Complaints riever come in regarding local people working on such worthy Causes as the cancer drive. It is usually the magazine salesmen who cause concern. We realize they have a right to earn a living as long as they conduct themselves properly. Unfortunately many are too aggressive. "We have urged housewives and children not to open screen or storm doors. Keep them locked. These smart salesmen use all the tricks to have per­ sons open the doors. We cannot dictate to people as to allowing Dr. Robert J. Peterson Optometrist Announces ttie opening of his office for the general practice of Optometry at 4719 W. Route 120 McHenry, III. 60050 Office Hour. Telephone By Appointment 385-7930 summer long. Of course the weather warnings come to us through television and radio. A warning that a tornado is ap­ proaching this area is given by the McHenry fire department. It is a steady blast for 3 to 5 minutes. Take cover when you hear this warning. BUILDING PERMITS Building permits are required for construction with a contractor's value of $100 or more. This is true even if you do the work yourself. It's comparatively easy to make decisions but it's much harder to put them into ef­ fective use. COMMITTEE HOLDS On Oct. 10, (rain date Oct. 24), the Early Childhood Education Coordinating Committee for Lake and McHenry counties will hold its second annual conference at Pleasant Valley Farm, Woodstock. "Mother Nature - the Whole Thing" is the theme of the day. The committee felt that all teachers and directors of day care centers and nurseries, and anyone else interested in early childhood education, would enjoy and profit from a day of outdoor education. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. followed by a welcoming speech by Robert G. Lambourn, chairman of the committee. Mr. Lambourn is the director of the Pioneer Center for the Exceptional in McHenry, and a guided tour of the farm by the staff of Pleasant Valley. The rest of the day (until 3 p.m.) will be given over to workshops. Participants will have an opportunity to explore and discuss a variety of outdoor interests; harvesting, animal homes, trees, marsh life, and others. ) The early Childhood Education coordinating committee is made up of early childhood educators of Lake and McHenry counties.

No closing daje, Which will be continent on fhe relocation of patients and opportunities for employment of present employes, has been set. ' . . • Advertising is the servant of those who know-how to use it people to enter their homes. However, if they do not wish to have them enter we can only say KEEP THOSE DOORS LOCKED. "As you know, Don, the City Council is very concerned about the problem, but some ordinances covering solicitors are admittedly not enforceable. Large firms have taken some cities to court and won their cases. The firm which is in the process of codifying our or­ dinances promised at the time of the last interview to give this problem intensive study. "Your constituents are right. Anything we can do to rid the city of the influx of solicitors should be done. On the other hand, they must understand the City Council's, limitations, especially in cases where in­ terstate commerce rules apply. The Supreme court decision is printed on the back of registration forms brought to our office. This makes it im­ possible to limit solicitation to residents of .McHenry only. "This report may be long, but so is the history of solicitor problems. "In most cases a registration - not a permit - is in order. In the past when I signed permits, solicitors used it as an en­ dorsement of product. One photographer failed to furnish pictures of children. Man, did the roof fall on my head! Mammas phoned to tell me my name was on the permit so they thought it was OK. All this in spite of the fact that permit was stamped: "THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN AS AN EN- D O R S E M E N T O F PRODUCT." "Am sure you can see that publication of 'approved' solicitors could also cause trouble and misinterpretation. "To sum it all up, Don, I am in sympathy with the problems and am sure you are, too. Hopefully, the Municipal Code Corp., and our city attorney will find a way to control solicitation." "Sincerely, "Earl R.
