V PISTAKEE Bobbie Fantus HIGHLANDS 497-3509 Historical Society Tefls Campaign Facts Women's Club En/oy* Dinner At Christmas Party On li>ec. 13 the ladies held their monthly meeting at the community center. This month* meeting consisted of general business, a spaghetti dinner, tookie exchange, and a grab bag gift exchange. The meeting M(as very nice and much effort was made by several ladies to decorate the center and put it in the holiday glow. SNOW PLOWING During the past snow falls several complaints on the plowing have been made and hopefully I may be able to clarify some of these. Our roads are plowed by Frank Meier who also received many phone calls. We ask all com­ plaints be made either to Road Commissioner, Don Freeland at 497-3477 or President Jim Fantus at 497-3509. Frank Meier is under the instruction of the road commissioner and president, so please do not call him as he can do nothing with complaints. Procedure has been ex­ plained in a previous column, but for the benefit of those who did not read that one it will be re-explained. # v The main plow, will travel down the middle of each street with smaller plows following along the sides of the roads pushing the snow as far back and evenly as possible into the ditches. This is done in case of more heavy snow thus allowing room for more removal along road sides. The most common complaint of our residents is that plows have pushed some snow in front of driveways. This is completely unavoidable and not done intentionally. The plows cannot clean each driveway individually, as when they move up and down each street the snow is pushed directly to roadsides. If they were to clean each driveway our street plowing would become an all day process. Also the county highway department and Frank Meier ask that cars be removed from roads when it snows for easier snow removal. ABANDONED CARS Many reports have been made to President Fantus in the past few weeks about unattended cars. These cars have caused problems to other Civil Service Commission In New Location The U.S. Civil Service commission announces that the Federal Job Information & Testing center, located at Building 3400, Great Lakes, has moved to 2504 Washington street, Suite 200, Waukegan. The Job Information center furnishes one-stop employment information service concerning federal jobs in Lake county and Glen view, as well as other locations. Virginia Vasey, chief of the Lake County Local Office, advises that some of the jobs for which applications are currently being accepted are male Psychiatric Nursing, Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse, Typist, Stenographer, Accouting Technician, ex­ perienced Card Punch Operator, Electrical Lineman, Supervisory Psychologist, and Psychology Technician. These jobs are located in the various federal agencies in Lake county and Glenview. Obtain job information by writing or visiting the Federal Job Information & Testing center, 2504 Washington street, Suite 200, Waukegan, 111., 60085, or by calling 336-2770. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 • p.m. motorists and to the snow plows. ' Right now with the roads in unfavorable driving conditions the abandoned cars run a risk of being hit and make it very hard for plows to do a decent snow removal job. Please try and remove these automobiles from the roads before any damage is done to them. VOTING Congratulations to all voters who turned out in November from the Highlands for the national election.

What are its purposes? When was it founded? Is it privately owned? 4. The McHenry County Historical society was organized in Woodstock by a group of Interested citizens in 1963 and was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1964. Its purpose is to collect, restore, and exhibit artifacts pertaining to the early set­ tlement of the county and its continuing history. The society is governed by its principal officers who are a part of the Board of Directors who are elected from and responsible to the Membership. Q. Is the Society operated for profit? A. No. The society is organized and operates under the not-for-profit laws of the State of Illinois and is also exempt from payment of property, sales and income taxes in Illinois as well as being exempt from the Federal In­ come Tax through an Internal Revenue Service ruling. Does the society now have any historical artifacts? Are they on display? A. The society does have over 6,000 historical artifacts that are now in storage in various places and have the offer of many more. It does not display them, since many are one of a kind, and there is no suitable place for such displays. It is this lack of space and suitable housing for these artifacts that prompts the society's board to create a permanent Museum. Q. Is the Historical society really necessary when we are this close to Chicago and its many museums? A. Man's progress on this earth is not only fascinating but has pro\'<*ed the basis for all of the serviceaole goods we use today. A museum is a record of man's past achievements and preserves relics for our enlightenment and enjoyment. It is for us and unnumbered generations yet to come that some records be preserved. McHenry county has its own history and way of life and it is this life style that needs to be preserved here in McHenry county. Q. How does the McHenry County Historical society plan to pay for a museum: A. Having no other funds other than those derived from membership fees, the society's only course of action is to conduct a planned campaign for funds throughout McHenry county, calling on the in­ dustrial, manufacturing and commercial corporations, the smaller businesses, the professional groups and the general public. Q. How much will the cam­ paign be for, and how will the money be used? A. A careful study of all the anticipated cost involved in­ cluding the anticipated cost of the operations for the next three years determine the goal of $125,000. This sum is suf­ ficient for the purchase of land and existing building for $20,000; the building's repairs and renovation for use as a museum is carefully estimated to be $52,478; the first three years' operational budget, using only one paid employee as, custodian and including necessary interest payments on bank loans, is $22,095. The remaining $19,427 includes a 5 percent safety factor plus the cost of campaign. Q. What are the terms of payment of subscriptions to this campaign? A. Subscriptions may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi­ annually or as the donor desires, providing that sub­ scriptions are paid in full by Aug. H 1975. Q. Are gifts in this campaign deductible from federal income tax? A. Yes, in the manner and to the extent provided by law. Savings income-tax wise can be substantial; you are advised to make inquiries. Q. Will there be rooms and other units available as memorials? A. Yes, a limited number of rooms and areas will be available, and for those sub­ scribing $300 or more will have their names inscribed on a memorial plaque to be mounted on a prominent wall within the museum. There may be other questions, and it is suggested McHENRY-NUNDA TOWNSHIP Libraries aren't just for bookworms. Libraries are for music lovers, and movie watchers, and art lovers, and armchair travelers, and business men and dreamers. The list is endless, and the resources at and available through the McHenry Nunda Township library are varied. Are the children bored and looking for some way to amuse themselves? Old Christmas cards can be made into decorations and ornaments, as Margaret Perry demonstrates in her book, "Christmas Card Magic". All kinds of projects using paper can be found in "Rainy Day Magic". "Funny Bags" by Betsy Pflug, "Play with Paper" by Bank-Jensen, "Chinese Kites, how to Make and F|y Them", or "Paper Mache and how to use it" with Mildred Anderson. So many ideas and fun activites for all ages are found in these books. If Christmas expenses have you defeated, read "Going Broke and How To Avoid It" by Leonard Groupe, or "How To Beat Inflation By Using It" advice from Donald I. Rogers, or from that expert on finance, ERotJaneway, "What Shall I Do With My Money" ~ If you feel as if you are going to collapse from all the holiday hubbub, why not relax with the warmth ard humor of Harry Golden and his collection of best observations? Join Pearl Buck and enjoy her "Once Upon a Christmas", or the stories of Elizabeth Goudge in "The Lost Angel". The mysteries and secrecy of the medical world are explored in "A Surgeon's World" by Dr. William Nolen; "Year of the Intern" by Robin Cook; Theodore Rubin's memories in "Emergency Room Diary"; and "The Making of a Psychiatrist" by Dr. David S. that they be referred to a member of the society, board of director, campaign executive committee or at campaign headquarters, Po. Box 30, Woodstock, I., 60098. Viscott. You will look at your doctor with new insight.
