There are many other facets of village life which can and will improve with good representation on your board of trustees. In the past year we have seen some of these im­ provements take shape and come alive for us." "We are now protected by our own Police department. It is small and operated by volunteers, true-but it is a beginning toward a better future In the past year, during the worst winter in history, our roads were better maintained than many long established municipalities; another small step but a step forward, in­ deed." •*.

VILLAGE POLICE President Richard Saunders has issued information con­ cerning the police department. Arrangements have been made with the McHenry County Sheriff's department to dispatch our Holiday Hills Police department when needed Requests for police assistance should be made by calling the Sheriff's depart­ ment at 338-2141. Your call will be radio dispatched to our police car if it is in service at the time of your call If our unit is not in service when you call, the Sheriff's department will respond to any emergency requests. Non-emergency calls will be relayed to our police officers when they go on duty. At present, and for the foreseeable future, our police force will be staffed with volunteers. Chief Caldwell. Sgt. Traskaski and Officer Downing, all well qualified individuals, will be performing their duties on their own time, after working their regular jobs. They will obviously not be able to provide 24-hour coverage. Therefore, patience and understanding will be needed For those who would be willing to spend some of their spare time serving on our police department, their ser­ vices would be appreciated. Both male and female volun­ teers are needed. Contact Chief Caldwell at 385-1460 if you are interested in filing an ap­ plication. Bv statute, applicants without prior police experience are required to take some pretty extensive training before they can be accepted on the force. This training is available through the McHenry We gel over 15,000 calls a day/ and tney're all person-to-person. • • •; % Cnatomer Scrvlce O.K.

But we get our compliments, too. Along with an occasional wrong number. An average call? There's really no such thing. So our only guideline is to be efficient and courteous.

Voter Publication Available To Public Potato-Ham Dinner In A Crust A special edition of Illinois Election Briefs, educational guides, published by the Illinois State Board of Elections, is available upon request, it was announced by Franklin J. Lunding. Jr., chairman of the Board of Elections. The Election Briefs series consists of election guides covering specific Illinois election law topics. The Briefs are sent regularly to more than l .(KM) participating history and civic teachers throughout the state, who use them in discussions on election laws and procedures. 'The Election Briefs provide background information, suggest student activities and list reference works to help prepare students for their role as voters." Lunding said. The special edition provides basic information on the types of local elections being held in Illinois, such as townships, school board districts, park districts and municipalities. Also, descriptions of various forms of local government are included. Election Briefs on specific subjects, now available include "Voter Qualifications and Registration," "Why Vote?", "Voting Procedures," "Voting Devices." "Judges of Elec­ tion," "Pollwatchers" and "Getting on the Ballot." Lunding said that teachers and the public may request any or all of the Briefs and sub­ scribe to future issues by writing to the State Board of Elections, Division of Planning and Program Development, 1020 S. Spring St., Springfield, 111. 62702. Do-It-Yourself Wall Coverings If you are tired of paint or wallpaper, you might want to try fabric coverings for your wall. The only tool you'll need--if you need any at all--will be a staple gun. You can cut costs by buying County Emergency Services & Disaster agency. Sheriff Tyrrell has assured that he will make a couple of slots available in the required training courses. The final session of the Auxiliary Police course to be held in 1977 will begin Monday, April 18. at 7 p.m. Advance registration is required. An application or additional in­ formation can be obtained by contacting the MCESDA office at the courthouse in Woodstock, phone 338-6400. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. VEHICLE TAGS All residents are required to obtain and display a village vehicle sticker on each of their motor vehicles. The stickers, which have been a requirement since early last fall, are still available from the village clerk's office. However, the sticker you didn't get last fall when the requirement took effect will now cost twice the normal price. The police will be ticketing vehicles without village stickers. HAVE A NICE DAY fabrics at discount stores. And you need not cover an entire wall. By mixing patterns you can create your own master­ pieces. Your choices are unlimited: flannel, plaids, felt, prints plus whatever happens to catch your fancy at the time. By choosing colors and textures carefully, you can open a room up or close it. Another way to use texture on your walls is to use self-sticking carpet tiles. In addition to adding a decorative color, these will also offer a certain degree of insulation. If you want to block out the sound of a teenager's stereo, try covering the wall with carpet tiles. Remember texture can spell warmth. Think of the appeal of different materials. Some are harsh, hinting of conservative restraint; while others are soft and snuggly, giving a feeling of cozy warmness. Works Harder? An 1862 report from the then- newly-formed United States Department of agriculture noted that on three out of four farms, "The wife works harder, endures more, than any other on the place." The author suggested that the farm mother train "her daughters for marriage and her sons in giving their wives proper treatment." spurgeons We've got what you want when you want it -- and it's on SALE now at spurgeons See our separate 8-page section TODAY featuring 70th anniversary values all through the store! rrar Dinner in a pastry shell is just what this handsome Hash Browns and Ham Pie offers.

I' SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER, HEIPFUUDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT Be Careful Television is a welcome com­ panion for many senior citizens. But it can also bring trouble. It is estimated there may be as many "*s 10,000 television fires in this country each year. Covering the ventilation openings by placing the set too close to the wall, radiator, or a piece of furniture is unsafe. Ex­ cessive heat can build up within the cabinet and start a fire. Electrical outlets and cords should be kept in good repair. Don't put containers of water or other liquids on the television sets. These could spill and cause short circuits which can create fire and shock hazards. If you leave home overnight, unplug the television set from the wall outlet. If you are on a cable or connected to an external an­ tenna, also disconnect these. This will prevent a possible television fire hazard which could develop from a lightning storm or elec­ trical power surge C h a r g e o r L a y a w a y 1 ^ spurgeons CORRECTION NOTICE I DUE TO PRINTERS ERROR, Reg $2.29 "Fruit-of-the-Loom" Pocket T- shirts featured in our anniversary sec­ tion, page 8, are price at $1.25 each.
