Rose Lille gar d - little lady with a big job - has only a tinge of regret as she stores away her roller skates that several times brought her Illinois state championships and took her into national competition. She has also turned over her village clerk's books to her successor, and has relinquished her role as columnist for the Plaindealer. A winner in Tuesday's election, Mrs. Lillegard, who doesn't quite stand 5-feet tall, takes on a big job as first lady president of a local municipality. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Smith, Schaedel Winners The need for a county animal shelter becomes more evident every day. Residents of Emerald Park subdivision became very concerned for the welfare of a black Poodle and a Bassett hound earlier this week. At last, a kind-hearted young man who had three dogs of his own provided temporary space in his garage. On Thursday morning the animals were still there, gratefully accepting this unexpected but very welcome hospitality. Helping Paws organization has exhausted its supply of volunteers to provide tem­ porary care. As a result, numerous local residents have devoted much time and trouble in an attempt to find someone willing to care for these neglected or abandoned pets. Mrs. Jack Hollander, who is well known for her service in the area of animal welfare, has agreed to accept calls from anyone willing to provide a temporary refuge for the Poodle or Bassett hound. • This is not an isolated occurrence.

And last Tuesday she added mightily to the stature of women when she out-polled two men contenders to become the first woman president of a local municipality. With 121 supporters, she topped her nearest rival by 50 votes to garner 48 per cent of the vote. Three years ago, she and other officers of the Lot Owners association ran uncontested for posts in the newly incorporated village of 809 citizens. Rose enjoyed her work and says she will miss the daily contact with her neighbors. But she also has dreams of ac­ complishment for her home village which she feels can best be carried out as president. It was these dreams that prompted her to seek the top office. Rose Lillegard hopes there will be good public relations between elected officials and the people. Community in­ volvement through citizen participation on committees is another goal. With enthusiasm she tells of her hope to educate people about local government. Training appointed personnel, such as those engaged in Civil Defense and Road department work, is also in her plans. First, however, her efforts will be aimed at repairing Minor Crashes Bring Tickets For Drivers Richard V.
