Controversial Zoning Voters League Topic Issues Feb. 8 Family Service Offers Workshops What are the zoning hearings all about? How will the proposed amendment to the McHenry county zoning or­ dinance affect home owners? Who, finally, will approve or disapprove the amendment? Is this strictly a growth versus no- growth issue? Those questions and several others will be included as topics for discussion at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, at the meeting of the Woodstock- McHenry League of Women Voters to be held at the Presbyterian church on Tryon street in Woodstock. According to Cindy Swart- zloff, chairman of the league Land Use committee, the local league is initiating the first of a series of meetings on Land Use in McHenry county. The pur­ pose of these sessions will be to acquaint league members and the general public about this locally controversial issue. Thursday's meeting will concern itself with the present countv zoning ordinance which was adopted in 1946. Topics to be covered include the present procedures for rezoning land, the County Zoning Board of Appeals, and the Land Use goals for McHenry county. In a related area, the committee has researched the background and composition of the present County board and its influence in this area. The Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization which promotes the informed and active participation of citizens in government. All unit meetings are open to the public, and babysitting is available at a nominal fee.

A McHenry man escaped injury when the truck he" was driving rolled over on River­ side drive Sunday afternoon. Robert A. Schindler, 2719 Stilling boulevard, told Sheriff's police he was south­ bound on Riverside drive, when a northbound vehicle forced him to veer to the right. The snow plow blade in front of his truck reportedly caught the snowbank alongside the road, causing the truck to roll over. The driver of the other vehicle could not be identified. A Wonder Lake woman was cited for failing to yield after a two-car accident Sunday morning in Wonder Lake. Kathleen J. Killam, 4718 Ottawa road, reported to police she was backing out of her driveway, when her car was struck by a vehicle driven by Dale D. Morris, 3612 Buchanan. Ms. Killam explained she couldn't see the approaching car because of a snowdrift, while Morris said he was unable to stop before striking the Killam auto. Neither driver was injured in the mishap. A Grayslake man was ticketed after his car was struck while it was parked on E. Wonder Lake road Sunday evening. Robert J. Wayne was cited for improper parking when police discovered his car had been parked partially on the street when it was struck by a vehicle driven by Dominick Tuccillo, 7724 Beaver road. Tuccillo told police he was southbound on E. Wonder Lake road, when a northbound vehicle veered into his lane. While trying to avoid the on­ coming car, Tuccillo struck the Wayne auto. A Belvidere man was cited for failing to yield when his car was struck on Wonder Woods drive just after midnight Saturday. James E. Wille, was ap­ parently backing out of a driveway when his car was struck by another car driven by Lisa A. Luther, 4503 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. Ms. Luther was reportedly northbound on Wonder Woods drive when the Wille car backed in front of her vehicle. She told police she tried to stop, 'Are you trying to bend over enough to touch your toes or just to see them?" Snowmobile School but couldn't avoid striking the backing auto. Neither driver was injured in the crash. Blue sky, white snow, and a bright sun make a beautiful winter scene, according to Edgar T. Britton, executive director of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. "But," he add, "it's a touch of beauty tough on the eyes." For one thing, he explains, there's the danger of snowblindness if the exposure is overly severe. For another hazard, it can cause temporary nightblindness. A single day spent outdoors in the combined glare of snow and sunshine could temporarily rob you of as much as 50 percent of your ability to see at night. And, according to Britton, it may take as long as a week for a person to recover normal night vision after long sunny days in the snow. How does one in love with the outdoors avoid these visual problems? The answer is simple, Britton says: a good pair of sunglasses. "Wear sunglasses whenever you step outside to enjoy the sunny, winter beauty of nature," he says, "and you'll protect yourself against the hazard of snowblindness and the dangers of nightblindness." For more information about sunglasses and their use in safeguarding vision, write Prevention of Blindness, 53 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, 111., 60604. A pamphlet on the subject is free for the asking. Pictured above is one of the graduates of the recent snowmobile safety school held at the McHenry county fairgrounds learning the steps for machine preparation. The clinic sponsored by the Greenwood 4-H club and the McHenry County Cooperative Extension service, was a real success when one considers over 50 young men and women learning all that they did, states Craig Scheidecker, Extension Adviser, Agriculture. A wide spectrum of information was presented from how to recognize an oil fouled spark plug, to where you can ride a snowmobile, how to prevent hypothermia and giving artiflcal respiration. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits was pointed out by Ken Fiske, certified instructor for the McHenry County Conservation district, when he discussed the type of young man or woman that gets certified. He said. We try to especially reach the youngster who has no affiliation with a snowmobile club, because they might not have any expert to show the different things and explain the sport of snowmobiling and how to do it safely."*' VU )MT( »( )/VAE K'V im Nil Sale for American Homes Sale ends Sal., Feb. 10 Your choice: 99.97 each! conversation: contemporary-look comer sectional.
