PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22,1975 West Shore Beach Connie Schmidt 385-7841 Statement Of Finance Viewed By Columnist All property owners of West Shore Beach received the f inancial statement for the past year describing the ex­ penditures of our subdivision. Every year it can be noted that the dues collected from our residents are not pnough to cover these expenses. Yet there are individuals who continue to bark about the amount their community must pay for dues. These are definitely not the doers in our subdivision! What, me bake a cake - for what? Why me help with rummage - for what? Why should I go to a lousy picnic - for what? Yes, Mr. and Mrs. for whats - we who have attended those boring meetings and went door to door and even try to write a subdivision column have to be hindered by you folks who share the common charac­ teristics of apathy, passiveness, skepticism and ignorance Let's try to change this view this year and let yourselves come forward. You know who you are. Become aware - this is your community too! # ASSOCIATION NOTES A big note of appreciation to those people who helped to mail the 1974 financial statement to property owners. Subdivision dues can be paid anytime before the March 31 deadline. Fill out the nomination form at the bottom of the page as soon as you have given this im­ portant choice some thought. There were some charitable -organizations that sent letters to the association asking for contributions. Only eight people attended the meeting and hope you all can set the March 8 meeting aside now. ROAD NEWS At the January Association meeting our representative on the McHenry County Unin­ corporated Road Organization, Sylvia Wasicak, read the December newsletter from that organization. Important to ^,each unincorporated com­ munity was the overridden veto and the passage of House Bill 2792. A provision of the' bill states that the motor fuel tax fund will be increased to local township government. Of this increase 20 percent can now be spent on the maintenance or improvement of • unin­ corporated-subdivision roads. Therefore, we must seek the help of our township road commissioner and see what proportion can help this sub­ division. Township government is now the only legal means our similar areas can use to seek road assistance. Everyone please come to our next Association meeting to discuss this most vital issue and our biggest problem and challenge in this community. Each person is individually affected by the road in front of his home and the route he travels from the main highway. Aren't you concerned about those big holes"* and muddy ruts??

Won't you be a part and join some fun! WINTER SPORTS Having the winter blues? Hibernating like a bear? Come on outside and get some fresh air into those lungs and let the cold virus freeze. Try your feet at iceskating - it's fun to glide with the wind! When the snows come again use your toboggans, snowmobiles or mittens to make a snow man! Shovel that small sidewalk and give a push to the guy stuck in the ditch. Why not - it's winter fun time! WIND FALLS Small branches and twigs with some heavy limbs caused considerable problems for many residents. These high winds created a mess of debris in some areas that need tree trimming or removal. This spring we will again need a tree clean-up and hauling project to help maintain these wind falls. Assist your neighbor who cannot remove a branch - they will remember your kindness another day. PERSONALS Many get-well wishes to Joe Finiello who's been fighting the flu bug and needs a little cheer! Dawn Jaburek traveled to Lamont, 111., with the McHenry Junior Rec.

Introducing the Toro Snowmaster: the multi­ purpose snowthrower. Cleans your steps, unburden your car, clears your driveway and cleans your side-walk . . . yet it's compact enough to hang on your garage^ l a mi) A t t 9 S The Snow Master is small and light enough for almost anyone to handle, yet rugged enough to stand up to the high engineering standards Toro sets. Its durability is due to its aluminum and high- impact plastic construction--both materials being lightweight, virtually nonbreakable, and rust and corrosion-free. The new Snow Master has a clearing swath 20 inches wide, yet weighs only 32 pounds. It can clean porches quickly and steps in one swipe. To appreciate the kind of big snow job the Snow Master can handle, all you have to do is see it in action. It can throw 300 pounds of snow a minute. That means in only 15 minutes, it can clear 4 inches of snow from a 50-foot driveway. In heavy-snow areas you can use the Snow Master for steps and walks, as an addition to the big two- stage snowthrowers. In medium-snow areas, depending on the area you have to clear, the Snow Master might be aU'youil need. For light snow, the Snow Master is ideal. If your health and age make shoveling dangerous, it could be indispensable. The Snow Master is probably the most versatile snow-thrower on the market.
