Last week the police department had me run a story on bikes that had been turned into the department. They were expensive bikes that either had been lost or stolen. The bikes are now back to their rightful owners. Chief Mitchell received calls shortly after Wednesday's paper came out. The missing bikes were identified and claimed. Once again our police department has effectively seen that stolen or lost articles were returned to the owners. And it also goes to show we have a pretty loyal following of the news of the area in this column. HOSPITAL NOTE Our friend and neighbor Ken Carlson who, as I reported last week, is in the Hines VA hospital and is feeling mighty lonesome. Ken has been in the hospital for some time and because of surgery will be out in Hines for a while yet. But he's feeling kind of lonesome for Sunnyside and his friends out here. He'd love to get a card or note from his friends. It would make a long lonely day a lot brighter. If you would like to send Ken a card, the address is Ken Carlson, Hines VA Hospital, Roosevelt Road, and 1st Avenue, Hines, 111., 60141, Room 747, Bed 37. ELVIS IMPERSONATOR In August of this year, the village of Sunnyside had a rare treat in a free rock concert given by Dave "Elvis" Ehlert. Those who attended the concert were awed by the amazing resemblance Dave has to the late "King of Rock", Elvis Presley. Seeing him is almost like seeing a ghost. Dave calls his act "A Tribute to Elvis". At his recent rock concert, he started a petition for the national holiday for Elvis committee's Jan. 8 memory to the "King of Music" program to be presented in the area. This winter Dave will be appearing in Jamaica, Ger­ many and Egypt. He and his group have played in 32 states and Canada.

Items needed are toothpaste, tooth brushes, soaps, shaving cream, shaving lotions, etc. Many elderly people who reside in homes have no families or friends, and these little items can brighten the holidays for those who are less fortunate and have no one to think of them at Christmas. If you would like to brighten the holidays for someone with a donation, call 344-2966. vention agenda include business sessions of the IOMOTC, a library of member clubs' activities, a farmer's market of handcrafted items from Double Delemma MOTC, and a concluding dinner-dance with installation of state of­ ficers.. The twenty-eight clubs in IOMOTC include more than 500 members who are mothers of twins or triplets-and sometimes more than once. Each club meets monthly for exchange of helpful ideas on raising multiples and for* business, social and philan­ thropic serviceis. Governor James R. Thomp­ son has proclaimed Oct. 14-20, 1979 Mothers of Twins Week in Illinois to mark the occasion of this IOMOTC convention.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 17, 1929) People in this vicinity will no doubt rejoice at the good news that work has been commenced and is progressing rapidly on the bridge across the Chicago & Northwestern railroad tracks east of Crystal Lake and south of Terra Cotta on Route 31. This will mean the completion of the cement highway, Route 61 which was constructed last year with the exception of the detour at the point where the town line road is met. The large fill was put in at the railroad tracks and the remainder of the road was constructed, leaving the short strip at the tracks not, completed.

Coghlan was on his way to church Sunday morning when he saw the Chicago trio along the highway. One was in the car, while the two others had just shot at some birds. A hen and cock pheasant were found in the car. Thirty days in the county jail was the sentence pronounced for Irving Roth, police magistrate of Lily Lake, for his contempt of court by Judge Henry Cowlin of Crystal Lake.

The project was started on a small scale a few weeks ago, when banks were placed in the school rooms. Later, jars were put on roil tilers mi I In? various business houses in the com­ munity and t he response of the public has been gratifying. Jean and Joan Weber, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Weber, will appear on the amateur hour originating in Chicago on Channel 7, playing "Bumble Boogie" on piano and organ. Mrs. Harry F. Stinespring, Jr., will present a dramatic review of the book, "Love Is Eternal" by Stone at the meeting of the Lecture Lun­ cheon club at the McHenry Country club. His Excellency the Most Rev.
