Are you interested in lear­ ning to speak Spanish or German? These Living language records are a part of the new collection being started at your library. Come in and see what is available for your enjoyment and knowledge. VOLLEYBALL Another reminder to any of you out there who might want to play volleyball. Thursday is the night; the hours are 7:30 to 9:30. The place is Hilltop school gym. In case any of you came and found the main doors locked and left figuring we weren't playing, you should have gone Gasoline Pumps Farmer Award Program to the teacher's parking lot. This is at the end of the drive that leads into the school. There is a set of doors on that side of the building that are open for us. At present there are about a dozen girls playing. There are two voleyball courts ~ so there's enough room for two more teams. I mentioned before the cost of using the gym. If you're worried that it might be a lot - let me assure you -- it's not. For twelve players the cost is less than a dollar. Where else can you go for two hours of fun and socializing for that small amount? Plus all that great exercise! Call Cherie Mumma if you've got any further questions. Her number is 385-1982. For those of you who have been there, Cherie already has your phone number and will be calling on Thursday to make sure you'll be going. They need at least 10 players each week. So get on that phone and call Cherie now. The more the merrier! BIRTHDAYS Belated greetings go out to the following and I hope each of you had a very happy day.

ANNIVERSARIES Feb. 22 was a great day in the lives of Harold and Marcella Although it has worked well in other states near Illinois, it is still illegal here to fill one's own car with gasoline. Just because it made sense for Illinois to "catch up with the rest of the country" and because he was searching for some way to offset the im­ pending imposition of a gas tax by the still floundering Regional Transportation authority, State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake) introduced a bill to allow any municipal or county govern­ ment - to let service stations have self-service gas pumps. Zeke Georgi, (D-Rockford) and Giddy Dyer (R-Hinsdale) are co-sponsoring the bill. "If it weren't for the high rate of unemployment in Illinois, I would have no doubt that this bill would pass. Who wouldn't want to be able to brag to his constituents that he had made it possible to buy gasoline for a couple of cents less than if otherwise would have cost? v "Unfortunately, however, many legislators seem to fear that it will eliminate some of the few jobs left that a less skilled person can fill," he explained. "Is it any less logical than self service retail stores?" he a^ed. "Even so, I thmk this is an idea whose time pas come. If it does^^ass this year, it cer­ tainly vifrl the first year that the percentage of unemployed drops to what has been con­ sidered acceptable levels in past years. Foss for that was the date to celebrate the anniversary of their wedding day. The twenty- third was the date Norman and Pat Morrison celebrated theirs, Brian and Lilyann took their vows on March 9 last year. On March 10 John and Voila will look back on many years of married life. Here's hoping each couple will add many more years to the present score and here's hoping each one is happier than the one before. NURSERY NEWS All thoughts of the evening meal were put out of the minds of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn LoPresti on Feb. 10, when little Lonny Ann made it known she was on her way to make her ap­ pearance into the world by way of Woodstock hospital. She was born at 5:16 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs., 2 oz. Her mom is the former Helen Duarte, her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. H. Duarte of Pistakee Highlands and Mr. and Mrs. Robert LoPresti of Pistakee Bay (formerly of Lilymoor). Lonny's great grandparents on her daddy's side of the family are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Abel of Whispering Oaks (formerly of Lakemoor) and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony LoPresti of Highland Park. Congratulations and best wishes to all those concerned and whose lives will be made happier because of her birth. BITS OF THIS AND THAT If you are female, if you live in Lilymoor, and if you like to go out to lunch once a month then you are eligible to join the Lunch-Bunch. We go to a dif­ ferent restaurant each time. If you would care to come along next time which will be sometime in March, give me a call and let me know. We usually enjoy the lunch and always enjoy the relaxation and the company of our friends. The only confusion that takes place is when the waitress lays down a completely totaled bill, then the fun starts trying to figure out who owes what, but all in all we do have fun. CLUBS Between Lilymoor and Lakemoor we have quite a few clubs and in the next few weeks I will try to give you a resume' on them and let you know if they have an open or a closed membership, in case you may be interested in any one of them.

The award will go to the young farmer who has proven to be an asset to his family, community and Farm Bureau. The McHenry County Farm Bureau's winner will compete in the District I competition against other outstanding young men from' northern Illinois counties. Two years ago, the District I winner became the state winner, and then went on to become the national winner-Dick Walters, of Woodstock, who, with his wife and family, had the chance to go to the AFBF annual meeting as special guests in San Francisco.
