I97:t McHenry Shores Mrs. Rose Lillegard 385-850r Santa Claus Will Visit Children In Village, Dec. 22 Mark your calendar for Dec. 22, for that is the day that Santa will be doing his thing within the village of McHenry Shores. Santa's journey will begin at 5 p.m. and continue until all stockings are delivered, hopefully by 8 p.m. After Santa's arrival from the North Pole by sled he will continue his journey by convoy lead by the police car and two trucks carrying all of the goodies and the carollers. Watch for the flashing orange or red lights andjisten for the bells for that will tell you that Santa is nearby to ring your doorbell. Needless to say, Santa's time is very limited so please try to be understanding if he is not able to visit longer than a minute or so. It is also asked that you have the children ready and in the house for Santa. Please do not have the children follow Santa from house to house, this will only cause confusion and delay the journey. Your cooperation is most ap­ preciated in this our first en­ deavor.

Tons Of Magazines, Papers Are Recycled Explore Florida Keys In February of this year, the McHenry County Defenders organized a monthly recycling day in McHenry. It is held on the third Saturday of every month at the McHenry Market Place. The collection of bottW and cans has recently been added. Local clubs and organizations have provided the majority of the labor the day of the drive and have realized substantial gains to their treasury. But more important is the fact that to date 93.2 tons of newspapers, 12.6 tons of magazines, and 1.4 tons of corrugated cardboard have been brought in for recycling. Using the formula that one ton of paper saves seventeen trees, it can be calculated that the collection to date has saved approximately 1,700 trees-a nice sized forest. The 4 percent of the people of McHenry who take time to bundle newspapers should be proud of their efforts. Yes, it has been estimated that the newspapers brought in have come from less than 5 percent of the population of McHenry. Perhaps another 4 or 5 percent is being collected by other groups in the area. This means that approximately 90 percent of the people living in McHenry still either burn their paper or throw it into landfill, which, in this day of shortages, is a terrible waste. The recycling of bottles, jars and cans is another area where landfill space can be saved and products melted and reused, but it's up to the citizens of McHenry to make the effort to save them and bring them to the drives the third Saturday of every month. If anyone has difficulty getting newspapers, bottles, or cans to the Market Place, he should call 385-8512 prior to the day of the drive. The Bull Valley Doers 4-H club will be working with newspapers this month, and a group from McHenry County college will be handling the bottles and cans.

(Pub. Dec. 14,1973) Big Hollow Science Teacher Dick Meyers explains how underwater camera is used in taking slides. Students who accompany the teacher and his family to the "Florida Keys" explore wafers along the shore as well as reef areas farther away from the shore areas. Big Hollow school Science instructor, Dick Meyers, will be accompanied by six students this year as they explore the waters in and around the Florida Keys. Meyers will be accompanied by his wife, Ellen, a German teacher at McHenry high school, and their daughter, Michele. In addition, however, as has been the tradition for nine years now, the Big Hollow Science instructor will have along six of his own students. The students are George Barrett, Greg Bruggan, Dave Parcells, Bob Sanderson, Bruce Szelag and Don Thielsen. Bob Sanderson is the Junior member of the group, being the only seventh grader among the rest who are eighth grade students. "The current gasoline situation is, of course, a concern to us, but people along the route we are taking advise us to come ahead, that the^ situation is good" the teacher said. Meyers will use his motor home to convey the ten members of this year's expedition. Besides Meyers, his family and the six students there is Matt Martin, a junior at Western Illinois university at Macomb. Matt has gone down to the Keys with Meyers for three years. Matt is a licensed skin and scuba diver, and assists the Big Hollow teacher with the group while they explore the sea. » Meyers also tows a camper which doubles as a mobile lab and extra sleeping quarters. The group also takes dissecting microscopes, water analysis kits, preserving solutions, chemicals, scoop nets and Underwater cameras. "Seacamp offers students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with marine science by working in the lab and the sea" Meyers added: Meyers likes to have his students spend some time on "Big Pine Key", largest of the Island chain that stretches from Homestead on the north to Key West on the south. "Big Pine Key with its coral reefs, shady and grassy areas, mud flats and rock pools, all teeming with living forms, is ideal for the study of marine life" Meyers says. This year the Big Hollow teacher said the group will go into the Everglades and spend one full day at Disney World. co-rvfe - - "Florida without Disney World, to our students is like a year without Christmas" Meyers added. The teacher admitted, though, that Disney World holds as much attraction for him as it does the youngsters that make up the "Project Seacamp" group from Ingleside. The students and their teacher will leave Friday, Dec. 21, in the late afternoon, and expect to be btock Jan. 5. Meyers, his wife, Ellen, and daughter, Michele, live on Ames road, between Crystal Lake and McHenry. Legend has it that when an Arabian mullah, or holy man, observed a group of goats eating the leaves and berries of a coffee bush, and them gambolling about energetically, he infused some into his monks to keep them awake during evening devotions. smart giving for ChristmasM.
