Llneoh Mansion Is Designated As "Historic Place" Clover Lawn, the Bloomington (111.) mansion home of Abraham Lincoln's campaign manager, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. National Park Service, ac­ cording to an announcement made by William K. Alderfer, Illinois state historian and executive director of the Illinois State Historical society which administers the state- owned property. The home, at 1000 East Monroe drive in Bloomington, was cited as an outstanding example of 19th century residential architecture and the decorative arts. Built between 1870 and 1872, by David Davis (1815-1886), the home has been operated since 1960 as a museum of gracious living in the 19th century manner. David Davis was a close political associate of Lincoln's after 1848, when Davis, as judge of the central Illinois Eighth Circuit court, and Lincoln, as a practicing at­ torney, "rode the circuit" together. In 1860, Judge Davis played a key role in organizing the Lincoln forces at the Republican national convention in Chicago. Upon Lincoln's election as president, he named Davis to a seat on the U.S. Supreme court, where he served for fifteen years. Davis served as U.S. Senator from Illinois, 1877 to 1883, retiring to Clover Lawn three years before his death. The architect for the Davis Mansion was Alfred H. Piquenard, who also designed the present state capitols of Illinois and Iowa. With Clover Lawn's entry into the National Register, the mansion is recorded as a significant site of historical or archaeological interest to the United States. Use of federal money to destroy or otherwise depreciate its value as an historic site is prohibited without an elaborate appeal procedure. NAMED ON MEMORIAL The name of Roland A. Herrmann, 405 N. Green street, along with the outstanding men and women who direct and influence government at all levels, will be engraved on the Republican Memorial now displayed at Gettysburg, Pa. Board Discusses Important Issues For Association The Pistakee Highlands Community Association board met on Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. President Fantus opened the meeting with the following members present: Joe Turuc, Archie Fletcher, Harold Bichler, John Heidler, Mae Kolb, Bobbie Fantus, and Roger Christianson. Discussion followed to table the possibility of raising dues until a later date. This was decided because of the pending improvement to our roads. Should the program go through, dues money now collected will be ample for improvements needed in the community. Our game application for license to play in the com­ munity center has been received and hopefully the game will be under the way after the first of the year. Many details still need to be worked out, such as parking facilities, table and chairs to ac­ commodate the players and to get enough qualified people to run the operation. NEW YEARS EVE PARTY The New Year's party is rolling along smoothly. As of now all preparations regarding food, music, decorations and drink have been made. Tickets are printed and are being sold now by all persons on the committee and association officers. Let's all pull together for this party and bring the new year in right. For further information regarding tickets call Mae Kolb at 497-3626. SNOW REMOVAL There have been complaints in the past about the way our non-township roads have been plowed. Often times, certain unpopular procedures must be Print Rules Of Road Books In Four Languages Secretary of State John W. Lewis has announced that Rules of the Road booklets in Spanish, Polish, German and Italian are being distributed to ' all Drivers' Licensc examining stations throughout the state. Secretary Lewis stated that each station will have copies of all four foreign language editions by Dec. 1. Lewis said the new editions will enable foreign-speaking residents of the state to study the Rules of the Road in their own language before at­ tempting to obtain an Illinois driver's license. Downstate distribution of the booklets includes 300,000 Spanish, 50,000 Polish, 50,000 German and 50,000 Italian. Initial distribution to the Chicago facilities the first of the month included 150,000 Spanish, 50,000 Polish, 50,000 German and 50,000 Italian. Copies of the bookelts are available by mail by writing to the Office of the Secretary of State, Shipping Division, Centennial Building, Springfield, Illinois 62756. used. Under normal conditions, a large plow will plow down the center of the street, then a smaller plow is used along each shoulder to push the snow away from the street and as far in as possible. This is in case of a large snowfall, there will be room to pile the snow. The contractor is not responsible for removal of snow that banks into your driveway. Every effort will be made to avoid inconvenience to anyone. The contractor has requested that no one, I repeat, no one, call his home or office in regards to complaints. All complaints are to be directed to our road commissioner, Don Freeland, at 497-3477. Also, let's be con­ siderate and avoid calling before 8 a.m., if indeed a complaint exists. The plows will be out day or night following a two inch snowfall and sand will be used at the road commissioner's discretion. All township roads will be plowed by McHenry Township Road Department, and has been requested by both the township road department and our contractor, Frank Meier, to keep all cars off the streets following a snowfall so they are able to get through with the plows. WATERLEVEL This summer will long be remembered by many residents of our subdivision. In addition to record rainfall, some of us were threatened with flash flood warnings. Now we have good news. The river is only six inches above its nor­ mal level and should reach normal level this week, pending no rain in Wisconsin. However, by use of the flood gates, the river will be brought down to a level of six inches below the top of the dam at McHenry. This will prevent breakage of the dam due to ice build up during RECOGNIZE FAIR WORKER - Miss Margaret Gilmore, R.N., Woodstock, right, receives an award of appreciation from the McHenry County Fair association because she has staffed the first aid booth at the fairjfor the past twenty-five years.
