Mrs. Eva Eppel, who resides three miles west of McHenry, fell down a flight of stairs last Regner Answers Request For Stop Signs On Nov. 5 Clarence Regner answered my two letters regarding the following requests, I thought you might like to hear his answer. I will be in touch with you in regard to the situation in the weeks to come. Dear Mrs. Bellak: Your request for the stop signs has not gone unanswered. The day after I received your letter, I contacted Tom Brink of the McHenry County Highway Department, who is our county traffic engineer, and we will be out there sometime this week at location mentioned. He will make a survey for the stop signs. What his decision will be I don't know. As you know, sometime ago you requested a stop sign and through a survey by Tom Brink, we installed five stop signs in Eastwood Manor." L must remind you again that I received complaints (2 in number) that people are going through stop signs without stopping. This is a serious matter, you should advise the Sheriff's Office. I will send a copy of this letter to the Sheriff's Office. Mrs. Bellak in answer to your second letter, I have no jurisdiction on private property. Therefore, I cannot put up any "No Hunting" signs in the area you mentioned. Sincercly, Clarence Regner Just minutes ago I wrote two more letters, one to Clarence Regner, and another to Tom Brink telling them both that I appreciate their help and sincerely hope they deem it necessary to make Eastwood and Manor a three point stop area as opposed to my original one stop sign. Once again we hope it will slow down the speeders and save our children from an unfortunate accident. PATH TO HILLTOP The path is scheduled to be put in approximately Dec. 1, if the weather is nice it will be first graded, if not then the gravel will be dropped. You all know how the children walk up the new Fairview Lane and when they get to the end by those abandoned houses turn left for about a quarter of a block then turn vright for another short distance, that is the area of the path where it is muddy and that is where the gravel will be dropped. That sounds simple enough doesn't it, in order to ac­ complish that, Dan McNulty suggested that Wally Dean might be able to help us. He stopped by my house a week or so ago and said that he would put it in providing we had an oral or written agreement from the owners. Then Mr. Nilles of Hilltop had to be informed several times, either to ask his opinion or what have you. Then I had to contact Wayne Amore who got in touch with a banker from Wisconsin who is handling B.K.T. affairs under their present situation. Wayne Amore obtained the verbal agreement for me that finalized the path being put in. Talk about RED TAPE!! But, it will be more than worth it when the job is done. I'll keep you posted on the progress. I just wrote Mr. Dean telling him that we got the go ahead sign!!

Consumers' Corner Return, Recycle, Use Lets Nearly everything we buy comes in a package or container. Bottles, boxes, bags, wrappers, cans and papers. Most people are in the habit of throwing these things away. That means wasting them. Paper and cardboard an made from trees. Cans are made from metal. Glass is made from silica and sand melted together using lots of electricity. All these are natural resources. If we keep throwing stul away someday there won't be eftoagh natural re­ sources left to make the things we need. One thing we can do so as not to waste resources is recycle the things made from them. Recycle means return to use again. Not everything can be recycled but much can. Check to see if there's a recycling center near you. Even better is to use returnable con­ tainers (Recycling uses a lot of energy). Returnables are things that can be used again just as they are. Many of the materials used in packaging cannot be re­ turned or recycled, so the most helpful thing we can do to not waste resources is to use less of ' these things. The most we can do to help conserve our trees and rivers ut& other natural resources is to use only what is absolutely necessary, return and reuse whatever poe-' sible, and recycle the things that can't be reused. Used To Be The tourist stopped and asked how far to the city. The farmer replied. "Used to be "bout 25 miles but the way things is goin' in this country it might be closer.' to 50 miles by now.
