He stressed that he and his neigh­ bors must look at these things many times each day. \ The Council unanimously passed a resolution in preciation of the work done by' Mayme Buss who recently retired as collector and counter of parking meter monies after fifty-three years of service. "Whereas she has been a loyal and conscientious em­ ployee throughout these many years, Now, therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of McHenry go on record as expressing its sincere appreciation for her service." Mayor Stanek informed the Council that the three-year terms on the McHenry Library board for Mrs. Clarence Anglese, Earl Walsh and Mrs. Richard Williams have ex­ pired. His recommendation that all three be reappointed for three-year terms passed unanimously. In other action. Mayor Stanek instructed ,the License committee to check into the matter of proposing an or­ dinance which would prohibit the sale of hand guns in the city. This action was taken at the request of Alderman LaVerne Hromec. She said she realized there was no gun shop within the city limits right now and that persons could walk a couple of blocks over the bridge and purchase a gun "but I would like to see a ban on the sale of handguns," she concluded. Fred Meyer reported that he had been in contact with Ed Reid of Anderson Tree Service regarding cottony scale on maple trees this year. Reid submitted a letter in which he related that he had been in contact with George Young, University of Illinois Extension advisor for McHenry County. Young recommended waiting until the middle of July before taking any action. He said the egg hatch should be complete approximately July 1 in McHenry county. The young scales then Inigrate to the leaves, where they settle and suck food from the leaf tissue. Fortunately, cottony maple scale has many natural enemies such as twice- stabbed lady beatles, parasitic wasps and aphid lions. By waiting until the middle of July, the natural predators will be given time to dispose of many of the crawlers, Young pointed out. Young suggested that any spraying be concentrated on the smaller trees. He also noted that the disease runs in two- year cycles - one year light and one year heavy. It does not kill a tree by one year of defoliage, he stressed. The CounciUdeeided to wait until July 15 before considering any further action. Mayor Stanek presented a proposed obscenity ordinance. He told aldermen it appeared much research had gone into the ordinance. He felt copies should be made and sent to councilmen for their study with a view toward possible adop­ tion of the ordinance. Even though the city has had no applications for "massage parlors" as yet, he felt an or­ dinance should be studied as a precaution. The Council approved a revision in the salary schedule regarding overtime pay for policemen. A pay period of twenty-eight days was stipulated as the time frame during which compensatory time off must be scheduled in lieu of overtime pay. Alderman Jack Pepping, chairman of< the Finance committee, reported that the heads of all departments had met with that committee and presented their budgets for the coming year.

Apparently this is too much to ask for. "Now we face the time for tears and parting. I must'say, this is the biggest and actually th^ first farewell I've ever experienced in all my life. "I'd like to say 'thank you' to everybody in this lovely town, McHenry, which has kept giving me so many happy memories. "My being in this community also has been realized by the people who really support the idea of perpetuating American Field Service scholarships and goals. 1 believe this was begun by the young American soldiers in the battlefield in Europe during World War I who exerted themselyes to try to help every injured person regardless of their nationalities.

Their color, size and shape often deceive youngsters into thinking they are candy. Several years ago a child swallowed a crackerball and died from the arsenic contained in the tiny explosive. Others have received serious burns, and because they easily ex­ plode, crackerballs are a serious danger to vision. Nearly two centuries have passed since the war for American independence. Of the heroes who fought in that war, more than 4,000 died and another 6,000 returned from the battle field permanently disabled. Since 1900, ten times as many Americans have lost their lives celebrating the victories of the Revolution with fireworks than were sacrificed in the war itself. Those maimed, crippled and blinded by the Fourth of July ob­ servance now total more than 100,000. These are statistics, but they are not dull. Parents should be aware that unfortunately, illegal fireworks can still be purchased^by school children from unscrupulous salesmen who smuggle fireworks into the state. K.A.F.
