Hyde Park, this Wednesday at 8 p.m. SCOUT NEWS On Wednesday night, Oct. 29, the week of Halloween, the Girl Scout troop from Holiday Hills enjoyed an evening filled with fun and laughter. These girls decided to have a spook house so with materials in hand and ideas the house became a reality Wednesday night. With tunnels and coffins and other sorts of Halloween spirits it turned out to be a real thriller for the leaders. Ghost stories were read, costumes were judged, and refreshments were served. Winning second place was Rose Ann Cantanzaro. She came dressed as a witch, while yet a little bug that was called a spider took the first prize. The spider's name was Terri Ab- .bink. Meetings are held each Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Siatta residence. Girls from the fourth through the sixth grade, if you are in­ terested please attend. Another party goer was the Brownie Troop 409. Thursday night, Oct. 30, at the Campbell residence the girls enjoyed games of relay, put the clothes pin in the pumpkin, and trying to bite an apple from a_string when held above their heads, being moved around. Sixteen girls turned out in different costumes. Twelve girls were runners up and four were given the grand prize. Judging the costumes were Joan and Jean Witz. Troop 409 is grateful to all the mothers who donated all the party goods. Halloween cup­ cakes, Orange Koolade, and a bag of assorted candy that each girl received, the table decorations and all the other Halloween things that were used. Meetings are held on Wednesday nights from 7 to 8 p.m. This is for girls in the first through the third grades. OVER We had around 100 kids for trick or treat and it seems to me that this year most of them decided to get the treats rather than tricking. Looking around through the subdivision I would say that this year it was a very peaceful night. Some pumpkins got smashed and windows got some soap but all in all it was just a fun filled night.

ADD OR MINUS If your name hasn't appeared in the birthdays or anniversary section then it could be that I don't have you listed on file so if you desire to see your name in print then please drop me a card with your name, address, month and date. Also if you neighbors see that an old neigh­ bor who has moved remains in the column then please let me know so that I can remove the name from my list. PAPERS READ Do you read your paper in­ side and out or just certain sections? It really is amazing what you can find out if you take the time to read the whole thing. Such as, on Sunday, Nov. 2, the Hickory Grove-Fox River frontage and Hickory Grove Highlands were opened. Participating in the opening was Brigade Voyageurs. These voyageurs skillfully handled their two 34-foot Montreal type and 26-foot birch bark canoes. Their clothing was colorful with a fringe sash from which hung tobacco, and a clay pipe, with brightly colored caps topped them off. The ceremony only took a few minutes but it was just a pleasure to be able to attend and see these boys from Scout post 986. The McHenry County Bicentennial Com­ mission was there in full costume of the late 1800's, to welcome the voyageurs. And wouldn't you know I went off and forgot my camera. BABYSITTERS For sometime now I have been toying with an idea that might help all the new families with children who have moved in. What is your reaction to making a book or flyer with the names of all the girls who babysit or are 11 years or older that these families can have to get a girl if they would like to go out. Being new in the neigh­ borhood poses a problem if they haven't gotten to know anyone, before they would go out. Give me your views by sending them to me or their name, address, age and phone number to Holiday Hills News Column, P.O. Box 218, McHenry, 111. 60050.

The McHenry County Senior Citizen's council urges its members and all senior citizens in the county to avail them­ selves of the free diabetic screening that will be taking place during Detection week. Marge Jones, executive director for the council, ex­ plained that "diabetes is another one of those diseases which greatly affect senior citizens. It now hits one out of every four families in the United States, it is the leading cause of new blindness. It is the third leading cause of death by disease and, most important of all, 60 percent of all those who have diabetes don't even know it. This is what makes screening so important. "Senior citizens, and anyone else who is interested," con­ tinued Mrs. Jones, "can make an appointment with any hospital in the county for the screening. The appointments should be made soon, since each hospital can only handle a limited number of people TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 28, 1965) Miss Leslie Decker of Wonder Lake, was recently initiated into the social sorority of Alpha Delta Pi at Mor- ningside college, Sioux City, Iowa.

Producers To Vote On Egg Research Act Nearly 10,000 poultry producers in the United States--almost 500 in Illinois- will be eligible to vote in an upcoming referendum on the Egg Research and Consumer Information act, according to George Young, University of Illinois Extension Adviser, in McHenry county. If approved, this act will assess five cents on each thirty- .dozen case of eggs sold to be used in a nationally coor­ dinated egg research and promotion program. An eighteen-member board will be appointed by Earl Butz, Secretary of Agriculture, to determine allocation of the funds. Board members will be selected from names submitted by poultry organizations and individual producers across the nation. Flock owners in all states except Alaska and Hawaii are eligible if they owned more than 3,000 laying hens producing eggs for commercial use between June 1 and Aug. 31, 1975. They also must presently be engaged in egg production. If approved, all egg producers must comply with the five-cent assessment. However, they will have the right to a refund, says Young. The Egg Research and Consumer Information act is similar to Illinois' egg checkoff program. Funds from the Illinois six-cent checkoff are supporting a major research effort studying cholesterol and heart questions. The checkoff program also provides for funds for egg production via different media throughout the estate. All known eligible voters will receive ballots and instructions ART-CRAFT SHOW A very exciting Art and Craft show will take place Friday of this week at the clubhouse of Four Colonies, 680 Cress creek, Crystal Lake.

TILL 8:30, CLOSED SUNDAY PAC.i: 1!> - PLAIN DEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1975 Town Assessors Support Cutting Numbers In Half The Assessors' division of the Township Officials of Illinois voted overwhelmingly Oct. 2P to support legislation that would cut their number in half by 1977. Over 700 township assessors from townships with less than 1,000 people would find their jobs combined with those of neighboring townships for assessment purposes only, under the recommendation. The resolution, basically the suggestion already introduced by State 'Senator John Nimrod (R-Skokie), would eliminate the election of township assessors for townships under 1,000 people. Instead, assessors would be elected from multi- township districts. Resolution sponsor Forrest Hare, Algonquin township assessor in McHenry county, said the 1,000 person minimum was a compromise "between those who believe 8,000-9,000 people are needed in an assessment jurisdiction to support a professional, full- time effort and those afraid of losing local autonomy. "The resolution recognizes that there should be larger assessment jurisdictions formed for half the state and that any township with less than 10,000 people probably has to have a part-timer," Hare said. during Detection week, which begins Nov. 16 and ends Nov. 22. "There will be no charge for this test," said Mrs. Jones. "The McHenry County Medical society voted to incur the ex­ pense themselves as a public service." Anyone interested in having the screening should call the following for an appointment: Memorial Hospital for McHenry County in Woodstock, McHenry hospital, or Harvard Community Memorial hospital. "If you need transportation to keep the appointment, please call the council at 338-6075 or 455-2660 at the time you make the appointment so we have enough time to arrange tran­ sportation for you," said Mrs. Jones. "The American Diabetes association will be holding seminars beginning in December to help families to diabetics to understand the disease," concluded Mrs. Jones. by mail. Any producer not receiving a ballot by Nov. 3 may obtain one at this county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) office, concludes Young.
