Investigation is being con­ ducted by Sheriff Tyrrell and the McHenry County Sheriff's department under the super­ vision of Capt. Robert Madsen, chief investigator. The body of twenty-three year old Francis Frechette, Jr., was discovered Thursday (Thanksgiving) by his brother, Peter Frechette, of 5103 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, in a little used storage shed at the rear of his property. The body was found lying on the floor of the shed with a shotgun nearby which he had apparently used to take his own life. The victim had been living at the Frechette home for a short time and was reported missing Nov. 6. He left the previous evening with the shotgun in his possession and had not been heard from since. An organized search had been made in an attempt to find him but all efforts failed. An inquest is being arranged by County Coroner Ehorn. Dale K. Feffer, 44, of 732 N. Madison, Woodstock, was pronounced dead on arrival at Woodstock Memorial hospital at 3:10 a.m. Sunday morning following a two-car collision at the intersection of Country Club road and Bull Valley road, east of Woodstock. Feffer was a lifetime resident of Crystal Lake and was just recently appointed manager of the National Tea store in Woodstock. Driver of the other auto, Herman J. Jacobson of 4212 W. Ponca, McHenry, was listed in fair condition in the intensive care unit of McHenry hospital, where he was taken by the Woodstock Rescue squad. No statement was taken from Jacobson due to his injuries. Charges are pending following further investigation by the Accident Investigation unit of the sheriff's department.

More funds to provide services to a growing number of people prompt the need for the tax ratei increase. The Health and Agriculture committee, with Mrs. Linnea Hadlock as chairman, issued a report asking the county board to approve a resolution calling for the referendum in February. With the date of the primary not firmly established because of efforts in the General Assembly to combine springtime elections dates, the County board demurred in approving the referendum. The board held this request over to its Dec. 11 meeting. MUSIN" N' MEANDER IN" (Continued from page 1) community. Like the Fox river itself, they are a natural at­ tribute. But even without financial help, those of us who feel strongly - and I'm sure there are many - would like to know our city officials have an interest in preserving those few things which every other community cannot claim. Now, will some organization consider undertaking this project? K.A.F. LEO J. MILLER Leo J. Miller, 71, of 2804 N. Old Oak drive, McHenry, died Wednesday, Nov. 21, in McHenry hospital.

It's easy to get carried away by the kaleido­ scope of colors you will see in the store, but remember the furniture must look well with what you have. Beyond all these considerations, re­ member your budget. The next step is to decide where to shop. Decide what kind of service you expect from the store you choose. Will you want help from a staff interior designer? Will you want the furniture de­ livered? Will you want to be assured that the store will stand behind what it sells? Make a check list of what you expect from the store where you do business, and then begin reading the ads of all the stores in your area. Shopping by advertising is a good beginning as you can get an idea of the stores' prices compared to your budget. When a store whose reputation you know and respect has a sale, it gen­ erally means you will get a better value. Get ideas about style from the magazines and later you will get ideas about design when you begin looking at the stores' room setting dis­ plays. Now when you are ready to shop plan to play "twen­ ty questions" with the sales­ man. There are so many un­ seen things which determine furniture quality, particular­ ly in upholstered furniture, that you must be armed with questions to ask. Experts at Kroehler sug­ gest that you'll be a better shopper when you are given accurate answers to these questions. HEALTH MEETING Comprehensive Health Planning Agency for McHenry County will hold its regular monthly meeting Wednesday, Nov. 28, at the new county courthouse in Woodstock. The meeting will be held in Con­ ference Room 104 at 8 p.m. Although this is a meeting of the agency's board of directors, visitors are welcome. Pinning down your furniture salesman on answers to spe­ cific questions can help you make a better buy. What are the "high per­ formance" fabrics you have available? How do I clean the fabric? Is this print (or plaid or stripe) fabric available with a matched print and how much extra does it cost? Has the fabric been test­ ed for wearability and last­ ing beauty? If I don't like the fabric that is shown on the furni­ ture, can you order it for me in another fabric? Ap­ proximately how long will it take to deliver it? Will there be an extra charge? Are arm caps available to protect the arms from wear? Is there an additional charge? Can I buy a matching chair for this sofa? Is an ottoman available as well? Is the furniture guaran­ teed? By the factory or the store? If it is guaranteed, may I have a copy of the warranty ? Does this sofa bed tilt forward on its front legs so I can clean underneath it? Does your store deliver free of charge or do I pay for shipping? Who pays you when you're disabled? Country Life Insurance Company will --if you own one of our disability income policies.

And, in order for him to knowl- edgeably help you by recom­ mending furniture that will suit your needs, he must know how you live and how and where you will use the furniture you want to buy. Some of the questions you should be asked by the furni­ ture salesperson include: Do you have children and how old are they? Do you entertain fre­ quently? What kind of pets do you have? What color is the carpet­ ing, draperies, walls and oth­ er furniture in the room? (Since color is so difficult to describe, be sure to bring carpet sample or threads from your draperies, etc. to help you match colors). Do you have overnight guests occasionally or a grow­ ing family for which you might need additional sleep­ ing space? Will you want to add ad­ ditional oieces in the near More and more, teenagers are getting involved In fund- raising activities. Oftentimes ecology is die motivating force. Hie teenage boy who wouldn't be seen mowing his own lawn will devote hours of his free time to planting trees along a barren strip of high­ way or joining a group of school chums in an all-day hike to save a local park from developers. Hiese marathon hikes and bike rides are a pop­ ular way to advertise a cause-- and raise money at the same time. Next time you need to raise money for your favorite char­ ity, consider harnessing some of this teenage energy. Why not entice your son to orga­ nize a Benevolent Bike Hike? Each rider sells mileage tic­ kets at x-dollars per mile, and no one can start (tie bike hike until all his miles are sold. To speed mileage sales get local businessmen or members of your own organization to sponsor an individual rider by buying up all his miles. Have each rider carry the patron's name on his shirt. Before the bike hike, check future to match the furni­ ture you are buying now? Do you live in an apart­ ment from which you may move, or do you live in a home ? How long do you expect the furniture to last? Approximately how much do you want to pay? out the proposed itinerary for length, convenience and safety factors. Designate mar- shalls notify the proper traffic control authorities. If it's to be a fifty-mile hike, se­ lect a park or comfortable resting spot about fifteen miles from home. Here the boys should plan to stretch out for a few minutes, both going and returning. At the turnaround point, there should be either a suitable picnic spot or hamburger stand. If the boys want to take their lunch, pack plenty of meaty sandwiches plus "ener­ gy" snacks for the rest periods such as cheese cubes, dried fruit and nuts, candy bars. Most boys would prefer to carry a canteen from the Army-Navy store than the family thermos. Whatever they carry, fill it with plain cold water. Caution them against drinking carbonated soft drinks whenever they get thirsty, or they may all arrive home with upset stomachs. Clothes- for the marathon begin with bluejeans of course, but not the sa wed-off variety. Jeans should cover the whole leg to prevent sun or windburn. A lightweight longeleeved shirt plus cap with headbill and comfortaUe shoes are other protector* that wiH be needed.
