ABOUT TOWN Mr. and Mrs. Russell Soddey ; from Kenosha were callers in [ the Hepburn, Brennan home on ' Sunday of this week. ! Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn of 1 Antioch and Mr. and Mrs. I^aursen also of Antioch were • callers on Nellie Hepburn. Flora Carr entertained the Ladies "500" card club on Wednesday of last week Mae i Weidrich came home with the high score and Helen Winn of Richmond took home the low prize. Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson and Maude Granger of McHenry visited in the Ruby Shepard home. Mr. and Mrs. John Madison of Kenosha were visitors of Nellie Hepburn and on Wed nesday Mr. and Mrs. Carteur Volunteers Insure Blood Supply jGeneration Gap u.SA Five dollars, $500, or a million dollars -- none will be of any worth when you're in the operating room requiring a blood transfusion. Money can't get you blood. Blood has to come from volunteers who come forward when the Bloodmobile is in McHenry county collecting - an orderly program initiated under the McHenry County Blood Assurance program in conjunction with the Beverly Blood center. Volunteers as individuals and volunteers in the form of civic, m social and church organizations must come forth to provide a group which will assume the responsibility of assuring a steady flow of donors when the Bloodmobile comes to an area in the county. Furthermore, the Beverly Blood center wants to establish collecting dates in the county, and these sponsoring groups can assist by offering tp sponsor a collection date and assuring a flow of donors so that collections can be made in efficient manner by these professionals. No one is crying "shortage" yet, but officials close to the situation where blood is required - such as our hospital leaders - are concerned over the way a scarcity of blood has arisen a time or two. Bert Hanson, administrator at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Woodstock, and Anthony' Corcoran, executive director at McHenry hospital, JVlcHenry, are aware of the seriousness of the problem concerning a steady, reliable flow of blood for use at the area hospitals. Blood for accident victims, blood for operating room patients, blood for other patients - these are examples of how the volunteer program now in effect to supply blood is the source of blood for these people. The McHenry County Blood Assurance program was established early this year to assure a safe, steady supply of blood. The new Illinois Blood Labeling Act expedited the need for a comprehensive new program to be sure this supply of adequate blood - safe blood -- is assured. How can citizens respond to this appeal, an appeal which is real and which should have high priority from every civic group, every church and veteran's group, every organization which can get together a* handful or a hallful of people? Contact either hospital ad­ ministrator and tell him: "I want to help the Blood Assurance program." You can helpas a donor or as a sponsor of a blood collection when the bloodmobile comes here. Remember, this is not a one­ time Or a one-month, or a one- reason deal - it is a continuing program with awesome responsibility, because it is on this volunteer program that this county citizenry depends for an adequate amount of mOod. IAA Takes Stand On Property Tax Relief were here from Park Ridge. Mr and Mrs. Lester Colby and Mrs. Hazel Colby, all of Crystal Lake, were Sunday afternoon visitors of Ruby Shepard Daughter Gladys Ainger of Hebron called on her mom, Ruby Shepard, on Tuesday of this week Monday morning found Lucille Sowers and Doris Low making a trip to Elgin for material to make Christmas ornaments, etc., for the bazaar o n N o v . I t . TRICK NTREATERS Folks, let's remember the little ones this Halloween. But kids, you think about the older folks too. If you are going out trick or treat be polite and let folks know who you are and it would l>e a good idea to go early and be through by around 7 o'clock This wa\ you have time to do your homework and the older folks are not bothered answering the door late at night. Remember McHenry police have stressed no trick or treating after k p.m. Have fun.

"Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago already has indicated that the use of federal revenue sharing funds to reduce real estate taxes in Chicago is receiving high priority con­ sideration. "We urge all local govern­ ment leaders to use a major portion of these funds for property tax relief. "Illinois taxpayers are urged to question candidates for state and local offices to determine how they stand on property tax relief -- an issue that is vital to the financial health of our state."
