A monthly recycling drive has been held on the third Saturday of every month in the town of McHenry since February of 1973. Since that time approximately 3Vfe million pounds of newspaper, cardboard and magazines have been brought to the McHenry Market Place shopping center by citizens concerned enough ' about the en­ vironment to take the few extra minutes a week that is required to bundle newspapers rather than discard them with the trash. In the last 12 month period alone, 360 tons of paper have been recycled through this recycling effort, plus another 80 to 100 tons that were recycled through other recycling projects in McHenry and Johnsburg. More than 160 tons of glass and cans have also been kept File For Wool and lamb producers must submit their sales slips from 1979 wool and unshorn lamb marketings and filean application before they can receive their incentive payments, Jim Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said. They have until Jan, 31 to file and avoid late payments. The support price for 1979 shorn wool marketings is $1.15 per pound and $1.94 per e^JKsJsr8*- ia AW'n i- v £ j&jpp} gws v > \ .

All of these materials have enteredagain into the flow of natural resources available to the state. An interesting fact to note is that for every ton of newspaper recycled, 17 pulp trees are saved for later use. In addition, community groups have an opportunity to earn funds with which to carry on their projects, and precious landfill space has been saved. This month's drive will be held in the north parking lot of West Campus high school rather than at the McHenry Market Place, due to the need for parking space for Christmas shoppers and for the sale of Christmas trees. The recycling drive will return to the Market Place in January. ~ * Future Students and faculty from Parkland school will be working along with the McHenry County Defenders this month to see that materials are unloaded from care and to see that the materials are moved along on their next step toward beirig recycled. Sixth graders at Parkland school will benefit from the funds raised from this drive when they participate in- ; a resident outdoor "education experience at George Williams Lake Geneva campus in the spring. '• Anyone having questions regarding recycling, or with a large quantity of properly prepared material that needs to be picked up, should call the McHenry County Defenders' recycling representative at 385-8512 or they may leave a message at Parkland school.

They urge other groups and individuals to join them in other projects to give aid. Proceeds can be sent to the Congregational Universalist church, 221 Dean street, Woodstock.

Lucas said pulled wool will continue to be supported at - a level comparable to the support price for shorn wool through payments on unshorn lambs. Shorn wool payments are based on a percentage of each producer's returns from sales. The percentage is the amount required to raise the national average price received by all producers for shorn wool in 1979 up to the support price of $1.15 a pound. Shorn wool prices averaged between 80 Arrest Burglar* With w _ Bent For Dentistry It was a case where evidence and a suspect led police to the place and not evidence at the place led police to the suspect. While on routine patrol at 3 a.m. on N. Front street, McHenry Police Officers Jenkins and Wigman saw a man drop a bag. They in­ vestigated and found the bag contained various dental tools and equipment, ac­ cording to McHenry Police Chief Pasenelli. Include Safety In Plans For Holiday With the holidays coming up, most people are thinking in terms of giftgiving, partying and Christmas decorations. It's a good idea at this time to think, too, in terms of fire safety, according to August W. Hock, general manager of the Illinois Fair Plan association, a non-profit organization that provides fire insurance and homeowners coverage in 110 Illinois communities. • "Many home fires are caused needlessly every year," Hock said, "because of careless use of the fireplace, overloading of electrical outlets, or the Christmas tree itself going up in flames from the heat of the lights." Hock suggests that special attention be given to these sources of possible fires: Fireplace--A Yule log is a beautiful thing. But before you set the fire, make sure your chimney is clean. Soot in chimneys can cause fires. Also, check the damper to see that it's completely open. Once the fire is going, cover it securely with a screen so that sparks don't enter the room. It's a good idea, too, to keep the flammable holiday decorations and Christmas cards at a safe distance from the fireplace. Overloaded Circuits-- When you plug in your holiday lights, put them on a circuit that can handle the extra load. Overloading of circuits is one of the most common causes of home fires. The Christmas Tree--If you use a real tree, be sure to keep it watered so that it doesn't dry out quickly. If you buy a fabricated tree, check to see that it is fire resistant. And, if you leave the house for any extended time, turn off the tree lights. The heat they give out or a short circuit can ignite the tree.

According to Lucas, mohjur payments will be calculated in a manner similiar to wool. However, these payments probably will not be necessary in 1980 as it appears that the average market price received by producers in the open market will be higher that the support price. As of Dec. 11, 53 local producers had filed for their 1979 wool incentive payments. When they checked the office of Dr. Jay Sayler nearby, they found that a burglary had been com­ mitted and some dental tools and equipment were missing from his office, Pasenelli said. Clayton J. Vowels, 22, of Crystal Lake, was arrested for burglary with a court appearance scheduled for Monday morning. children aren't left alone in the kitchen and keep an eye on everything that's cooking. Common sense and a little care, according to the Fair plan, will go a long way toward making Christmas a safer and happier one.
