I*/iUL <t * t | Ringwood News 653-9008 653-9262 728-0295 Wisconsin Ice Storm Viewed By Residents Maybe we felt we had more rain than we needed last week, but we can be thankful we didn't get the terrible ice storms they had in Wisconsin. Art and Katy Christopher took a drive west of Janesville on Sunday and after two days of thawing, there was still ice on some of the trees and in the fields. Piles of branches lined the roadway which apparently had been cleared by highway crews and hardly a yard was passed that didn't have some branches or limbs laying in the lawns. HOSPITALIZED Clara Klapperich is confined to the Woodstock hospital this week. Good luck, Clara, and we hope to see you home by the first of the week. . TO SEE NEW ONE Mrs. Robert Low of McHenry and Mrs. Walter Low left last Wednesday for Dubuque, 10., to see that new grandson of Doris and Walt's, Charlie Billikas. Of course Mama Pictured above are the five candidates running for nomination for county offices on the Republican ticket in the March lfth primary. Each and everyone has pfoven his or herself a capable and responsible administrator. We would again like to ask for your support and your vote on Tuesday March If, 1971. L. to R. above: Wm. J. Cowlln No. 103 for States Attorney; W.H. "Bill" !Russell No. 100 for Recorder of Deeds; Margaret OTMeil No. 97 for Circuit Gerk; Theron Ehron No. 100 for County Coroner; Albert M. Jourdan No. 109 for County Auditor. Paid for by the candidates. Linda and Papa Bill and little brother Nicky were very happy to see them. They gave Linda a big moral boost by pitching in and getting Linda's household chores caught up. Then they heard the weather report, snow for Thursday night and all dav Friday, so. Sue and Doris headed for home late Thursday afternoon. They decided that rain was better to drive in than snow. Snow- covered trees are beautiful but very heavy for the trees, there was a lot of broken branches, etc. We did not get snow last Friday, but Dubuque did, lots of it. COMMUNION SERVICE Communion service at the Ringwood United Methodist church has been changed to Sunday, March 21, during the regular 9:15 morning service. We welcome anyone who wishes to join us at that time. HERE AND THERE It was a happy occasion when Mr. and Mrs. Bob Greb and their seven-month old twin daughters dropped by to visit Mrs. Nellie Hepburn. Bob is a grandson of Aunt Nellie's and they make their home in Manhatten Beach, CA. You can bet there was plenty of activity in the house with twin babies to take care of. Mr. and Mrs. Bud Greb of Kenosha also called. Other recent visitors were Mrs. Elsie Ottoson of Wonder Lake and Barbara Brennan of Woodstock with her children, Wayne and Wendy. Monday being a nice day, Mrs. Bud Oxtoby took Aunt Nellie over to visit Mr. and Mrs. Matt Scheid at Solon Mills. FORMER RESIDENT MARRIES Susan Gelvin, daughter of Odell and Kate Gelvin, was married last Friday evening in Fairland, OK. The Gelvins were former residents of our community and members of the Ringwood church.

Anyone having anything for the rummage sale, please bring to the church on Monday and Tuesday of that week, no later than Wednesday morning at least, because we do have to price all items and this does take some time for the ladies.

The ladies are in need of new pieces of fabric, percale prints or polyester, for some of their projects. Also old, wide ties are needed.

Governor is going to have to sit down with a lot of people, in and out of government, to help solve our Illinois problems. We need a man who knows his way around this state. A man who can work with others -- who can get things done. Dave O'Neal is that kind of man. Dave O'Neal is the first Republican elected to office in Democrat controlled St. Clair County in twnety years and re-elected by an even wider margin in 1974. Ob­ viously downstate citizens recognize his abilities as a civic leader, successful businessman, and in public office, successful administrator. O'Neal has, through fiscal reform, underspent his county budget every year in office (one year by $100,000.00) and was the first St. Clair County Of­ ficial to establish a merit system. His is a proven record in successfully working with State and Federal Agencies. O'Neal believes the Lt. Governor should be a vital link between the Governor and the citiztens of our state. He believes that seeking out, listening to, and speaking up for the needs of all Illinois citizens is the way for meaningful change. This former U.S. Marine (married and father of two daughters) can get the job done. Vote for Oave O'Neal in the Republican Primary, March 16th He'll be a good Lt. Governor.
