Appear For Kiwanians Members of the Wonder Lake Kiwanis club and their wives enjoyed a very informative presentation by Christer Niklasson at their regular meeting Monday evening. Christer was accompanied to the dinner meeting by his A.F.S. parents, Paul and Althea Walkington, of our town. He showed beautiful slides of his country, Sweden, showing the contrasts of the area~the southern region with its low, level crop lands, the west coast on the Atlantic with its rugged shoreline where the fishing industry is predominate as well as ship building, and the nor­ thern region with its heavily forested mountains. Christer enjoyed chatting in his native language with Thurston Wicklund, a Kiwanis member:, who was born in the extreme northern region known as Lapland. Also present to enjoy the program, were four members of the Barrington Kiwanis club.

Local 4-H Club Funded - Of­ ficers and members of the Busy Beavers 4-H club have received funding for their community improvement project proposal. Pioneer Hi Bred International provided project monies. The club plans to renovate the McHenry county cemetery in Hart land. Mark Slater, Cary, will serve as project chairperson. Marie Slater, Jim and Dee Pedersen, Norma Luedtke, Shirley Utech and Marie Pesek are the club's volunteer leaders. Work will begin May 1 on the cleanup and rejuvenation project, according to Slater. The club plans to make flower boxes and plant plants for all gravesites, mark the unmarked graves and renovate the cemetery sign. Members will also be responsible for the upkeep of the cemetery. In addition to the initial grant of $50 from Pioneer, the McHenry County Conservation district has supported this projeet by supplying and planting shrubs to mark the cemetery boundaries adds Slater., The Busy Beavers 4-H club grant is one of eighteen given to 4-H clubs throughout Illinois for community improvement projects. Included in those projects are landscaping of community buildings and parks, planting trees in school yards, conducting rural board and boating safety programs and adding resource materials to a community library. How To Deter Crime - Ask anyone how to deter crime. They are not likely to answer, "Use a number." But the fact is a numbering system developed by law enforcement has been proven to be very effective not only in the reduction of thefts, but in the recovery of stolen goods. The Illinois Farm Bureau and the Country Companies are co-sponsoring this statewide Crime Prevention Property Identification program with the county Farm bureaus..Farm Bureau manager, Larry Harris, is organizing the program in McHenry county. The program will be explained by John Scott, regional coor­ dinator of public relations for the Country companies at the monthly meeting of the 4-H Federation delegates. In­ terested persons are invited to attend at 7:30 p.m., April 17 at the Farm Bureau auditorium. This program was developed to combat the rise in thefts, and to aid in returning stolen goods to owners. Other identificaiton number systems have been used, and have been shown to reduce crime, but many problems have been en­ countered in tracing property. Social Security numbers cannot be used for identifying the property owner, for example, and different states use dif­ ferent systems for assigning driver's license numbers.

THURS. ft SAT. 8:90-5 PRI. 0:30-7 program uses numbers which can be traced; each individual is assigned a specific number. The system is. based on a nationwide computerized program known as the National Crime Information center, or NCIC. Property owners maintain inventories of all items marked with the NCIC number and the county sheriff maintains a file of all numbers in the county. When stolen goods are recovered, the NICI computer system decodes the number on the items and traces it to a particular county. The county sheriff then is notified. Iden­ tification can be made within minutes after the recovery of the stolen item. The NCIC system is already being used by all law en­ forcement agencies, and it is uniform in every county in the nation. This unique program is now in effect in several mid- western states and the American Farm Bureau Federation estimates that over half of the nation will be using this program in the near future. With the NCIC system, the assigned number can be stamped on machinery and equipment. Grain identification is made by the use of confetti carrying the owner's assigned NCIC number. Each program participant will receive a property iden­ tification -kit containing a manual with specific marking locations for farm machinery, heavy equipment and smaller items; decals which, when posted, will inform would-be thieves that home items and equipment are marked; theft prevention tips; inventory sheets; and a marking stylus for engraving identification numbers on small appliances and tools. Join The Great Escape - "Teens who want their own mini-vacation this summer should try Teen Camp" says Kaihi Heberer, Extension adviser, McHenry county. "It's a great way to escape the rat race and have some fun!" The Northern Illinois Camp association has two teen camp sessions. The one at White Eagle 4-H camp, located in Ogle county, is called "Big Eagle Week". Held July 3-7, it is the biggest, best, oldest, and longest 4-H Teen camp in Illinois. For working teens, there is a weekend escape at Shaw-waw- nas-see 4-H camp in Kankakee county. Called the "Three Fires," this session is July 7-9. People who have attended teen camps say that the best thing about it is the chance to meet new people. Friendships that are started at camp often last into the school year, into the next summer, and even sometimes last a lifetime! Also, camp is just plain fun. It's co-ed, and planned by a council of teens who know what kids like and don't like. Summer boredom flies out the window the minute kids set foot in camp. There is a huge arrav of activities to choose from including swimming, crafts, sports, and nature exploration. For further information, contact McHenry County Cooperative Extension Service, P.O.

Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis 385-5067 Dangerous Intersections Agenda Topic At the regular meeting of the board Wednesday, April 19, on the agenda was a discussion regarding the need for a stop light at the intersection of Rte. 31 and Bull Valley road. At this intersection it is often difficult to get across Rte. 31. Also, a caution light is being sought for the intersection of Barreville and Bull Valley roads. This dangerous in­ tersection is equally in need of some warning light for ap­ proaching drivers from the south. On the agenda were also various discussions on Flood Plain insurance; fences for the industrial park; the updating of fine ordinances; a proposed license ordinance; and the acquisition of a new mower for the village. At this meeting the board accepted the resignation of Judith Moore. Mrs. Moore was elected to the board of trustees last year. She and her family are moving from the village and we will miss them. The next board meeting is May 3, 7:30 p.m annex. at the village TWO-DAY SALE The sixteen garage sales which were held in the village recently were accompanied, thankfully, by good weather, and everyone involved enjoyed the visiting and bargain hun­ ting which took place on those two days. We hope to repeat this event in the fall with even more homes and families participating. *. BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday to Ron Baggio who celebrated his seventeenth birthday April 25.
