- . • J fU w ' - Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Our Library In Mopardy A bill is pending in the State Legislature to disband district units in the state. If it passes, the McHenry Nunda Public Library District will be dissolved as an autonomous body, with all properties, funds, equip ment, etc., turned over to McHenry County authority. This might mean the loss of our library. The county will have the authority to dispose of, discontinue, re locate, or handle our library in any way it chooses. Many people in our area have given too much of their time, work and tears, to see the dissolution of the one cultural area we have. McHenry Nunda Library Board members have petitions which they will be asking you to sign, to prevent big government from again swallowing up the individual units. We admit that Big has its advantages, such as loss of control locally, additional costs necessary to become a small cog in a big machine, and perhaps the loss of our very own library. The petitions are also at the library on Lily Lake road. How important is having your own "Birth place of ideas" to you? ASSOCIATION MEETING . "To be or not to be" will be answered Dec. 19 at 214 N. R i d g e w a y a v e n u e , Lilymoor. Jerry Weber, president, has called the meeting at 7:30, to deter mine the future of the organization. He will be submitting his resignation, so others are needed if the association is to continue. Are the community problems a valid enough reason for organized action? This will be resolved at the meeting on the nineteenth. If it's important, be there. If not, the association is dead. LILY LAKE LADIES The L.L.L.L. held its regular meeting Dec. 5. Prize winners at the Bunco tables were Jean Dember first; Mildred Nejedly second; and Carol Voelke, booby. Hostess Julia Kraus provided and served the refreshments, and also made a special prize which was won by Mildred Nejedly. Co-hostess, Mildred Narcarti was unable to be at the meeting. She recently spent three weeks in the hospital, and was just happy to be home recuperating. The League's annual Chris tmas party was celebrated with a dinner at a restaurant in Algonquin. Members and their husbands or guests had an enjoyable, filling evening. The ladies extend happy holiday wishes to the community, and would be pleased to have others join their group. MORE GET WELLS Joe DeMarco, a member of the Lily Lake Con servation club, was hospitalized for a week, he has returned to a full sch edule of work, as he is "too tough to keep down". Bob Hurley, former membership chairman of the L.L.C.C.I., has been in and out of hospitals since Oct. 18. His wife, who works at the Veteran's Hospital in North Chicago, was able to be with him often in the M.I.C. Unit. Prayerfully, he is improving daily. Charles Nettles is also still recuperating from surgery. He inherited the presidency of the Lily Lake Con servation club, and was to preside at the meeting Dec. 10, if he was able. Special wishes for good health go to Marion Leske, still very busy with her ceramic dolls; also, to little Jodi Gray who was hospitalized for tonsillitis on the fifth. CHRISTMAS PLAY Members of the United Per.tacostal church in Lakemoor extend an in vitation to the Christmas play Dec. 23, 6 p.m., in the church building. David Mc Caulley, John Nixon and Harold Nixon, Jr., will be in the cast of the program, dedicated to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. There will be a time for fellowship and meeting old and new friends. Want to be a part of Christ's family? The invitation is open to all. NEW ADDITION Ryan James is the name given to baby boy, Antol, by his parents, James and Marcia. He was born Nov. 26 at 6:30 a.m. in the Memorial hospital for McHenry county. Ryan weighed in at a husky 9 lbs., 2 oz., as opposed to big sister, Ann Marie's 4 lbs., 1 oz., at her birth. _ Ryan also has a brother Jason who will help with the baby as much as an-almost two year old active boy child can. This will be quite a Christmas .at the Antols! WROtfG AGAIN The dredge is still in Lily Lake, not on shore, as reported in last week's column. With the column being written five days b e f o r e p u b l i c a t i o n , assumptions are sometimes made which makes one feel like the first three letters of the word. The weather was the uncooperative member of the team, and the ice buildup prevented the removal of the dredge. Perhaps another plan of attack will dry dock the dredge. SCHOOL HONORS Congratulations to Sundae Morrison, Norman and Pat's youngest daughter, who earned a place on the 3.5 honor roll at McHenry West campus high school. Diane Odarczenko was a member of the high school Yearbook staff, who spent a day at NIU in DeKalb, where the group received a cer tificate of excellence for their work on the 1979 Warrior Yearbook. Another award was the second place in a competition, given by the Columbia Press association of Columbia university, N.Y. BUSINESS TRIP Bill Kmetz enjoyed a working trip to Puerto Rico the last week in November. He found the people very friendly, the food tasty (but not as spicy as some spanish cooking), and pineapples three times as large as those purchased here. Bill returned home in the cold Friday, Nov. 30, very happy that he nad packed his warm winter jacket. Changing from palm trees and balmy breezes to our frozen area can be quite a shock, but all Bill really needed to warm up was coming home to Betty, Michael and John. BIRTHDAY TIME Michael Kunz celebrated his seventh year Dec. 8. Michael's birthday was noted late last year, also. Next year, wishes will be on time, and that's a promise. Dec. 12 is the exciting day for Curtis Freeman, Debbie Skelton, Joanna Ruth Mentzer and Christinia Watkins, who will be 15. Chris is looking forward to a birthday cake at school, and a weekend pajama party at home. Renee Johnson's birthday is Dec. 13, and the fourteenth marks another year for Andreas Kowal. Wonder what his dear wife Alyce has planned for him this year? Alfred Dember celebrates the fifteenth, and Alfred N. Dember celebrates the seventeenth. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Dec. 13 - Lakemoor village meeting. 8 p.m. The only meeting this month. Dec. 17 - Blood pressure screening may be cancelled. Call 344-1978.

Pack 131 of the Black Hawk Area council had its second meeting of the 1979- 1980 season Nov. 29 at Hilltop school. The meeting progressed with the installment of new Cub staff members. The Cub master and committee chairman were sworn in. The assistant Cub master and den leaders were recognized and the one through eleven year pins were awarded for service. The Cub Scout awards followed with the installment of new Cub Scouts, Scouts receiving their one and two- /year service pins and Webelo awards for ac complishments. Den 7 received the at tendance award, after which the father-son cake bake was judged. Two volunteer parents from each den judged the next den's cakes. One cake was picked from each den by the judges to enter the final judging. Out of the nine semi-final cakes one was chosen best by a panel of judges made up of parents and pack staff members. During the judging, a sing- a-long spirited the group and Den 1 did a skit centered around the theme of the cake bake, "Knights of Yor". The Scouts pantomimed out what their den leader was reading as they were dressed like Knights of the Round Table. At the end of the skit each Scout had a short disser tation on knighthood and its requirements in the 15th century and later. 4 The colors were retired at 8:40 p.m. followed by refreshments and good conversation enjoyed by all present. Scribe V\fe alieady have enough coal lined up to last until 2020. Nearly a billion tons of it. Enough to provide electricity until well into the next century, based on our projected fuel mix. We own much of it, waiting to mine it when we need it. And we will need it. Because by the end of this century, the demand for electricity is expected to triple. Our coal will help meet that demand. But it's also doing something else very important. It's helping conserve scarce fuels: oil and natural gas. Over half of the electricity we make comes from coal and most of the rest comes from uranium. Both are abundant fuels. Last year these fuels provided us with energy equal to 1 TO,000,000 barrels of oil. Coal is one important reason we can call electricity the Conservation Energy. It's one way we can make sure there will always be enough electricity. Commonwealth Edison electricity Is made mostly lrom abundant coal and uranium. That helps conserve the scarce tuels: oil and gas. e Commonwealth Edison Working for you. Coal Uranium f/ > i SECTION 2-PAGE 5 - PI ATNDEALER - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER If, lif» Johnsburg Mary L.
