Mrs. Harry Brady called saying that the>;as gauge of the automobile parked in her driveway registered "empty", even though it had been full the previous t ime used. Thank­ fully, there was enough fuel to get to a gas station, which she though was considerate of the thieves. Result: there is one new gas cap with a lock in Lakemoor Hopefully, other car owners will be watchful to prevent a gas shortage in their tanks, and others who need gas will purchase it instead of stealing it . CHRISTMAS FESTIVITY , The Lily Lake Ladies league had its Christmas party Saturday night. A lovely dinner was enjoyed by the ladies and their husbands or guests at the Country club. This is the main social event of the year and all the girls look forward to it . Their last meeting of 1978 took place last Wednesday. The winners af the Bunco tables were Helen Netzel, f irst , then Sophie Paterson. Mfldred Narcarti . and Carol Voelke receiving the booby prize. Both the hostesses, Julia Kraus and Carol Green, were absent Julia is sti l l recuperating from her eye surgery, and Carol received an SOS from her boss to do extra work. Jean Dembef brought the food prepared by Julia, and everyone joined in the serving, eating and enjoying FOOD STAMPS When a person becomes disabled or is unable to find a job that one is able to do, there are government agencies which do provide aid. Un fortunately, some who have asked for food stamps or help in paying util i ty and other out­ standing bills, have been treated without compassion or understanding When persons who have managed their own way, are suddenly faced with existing without money and have no place to turn except Woodstock, it can be a very degrading experience. One local lady told of getting aid for incapacitated relatives, and how she was made to feel l ike dirt for the asking. Her prayer now is that she never, never has to ask for aid for herself Unfortunately, there are persons who try (and succeed) to defraud our welfare program. Perhaps it would be better for the McHenry County Department of Public Aid not to assume all persons asking for help are cheaters, and to allow those of us with problems to retain a li t t le of our dignity and worth as human beings COMMUNITY CALENDAR Dec. 13-Advent service-Faith Presbyterian church - 7-7:30 p.m. Dec. 14-Lakemoor village meeting-8 p.m -municipal building-community hall .

Jr . < R McHenry county* has an nounced that he intends to keep only that part of the legislative pay raise that is "justified by inflationary increases caused by politicians in Washington." Skinner says he and his wife, Robin, will donate the money in excess oi A justifiable cost-of l iving mcrea^'Tb . various charitable organizations. "We discussed giving that part of the raise which we consider excessive back to the state treasury, but concluded that it would probably be wasted there Instead, we've decided to give it to non-profit organizations that offer needed services that state government does not adequately provide." he said Elected officials in Springfield are not responsible Health Facilities for inflation." Skinner, a for mer United States Budget Bureau budget examiner, continued. "The very fact that legislators thought they needed a raise is directly attributable to those very Washington politicians who are making political hay out of last week's action "President Carter 's statement is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black ' He and his Congress control the presses that are. printing more dollars than the economy can absorb When Carter and his Congress balance the federal budget, as we in Ill inois have balanced the state budget since Governor Thompson took office. then they will deserve to be taken seriously."
