The s McHenry Area Jaycees, part of an in ternational organization of young men from the ages of 18 to 35, are dedicated to leadership growth and community improvement. "Operation Red Ball" is a program of the Jaycees designed to give an im mediate alert to fire fighters and rescue squad personnel of rooms in a residential home where small children or disabled people are located. During a fire or similar emergency, precious seconds can be saved in locating children or people who may not be able to escape without help. The few seconds can mean the dif ference between life and death, fn many instances. A small red ball symbol is affixed to the window of rooms occupied by small children or disabled people. Once emergency crews arrive on the scene, the red ball signifies immediately those rooms in which there may be someone who cannot readily escape in an emergency. McHenry Jaycees can vassed McHenry Shores on a door-to-door basis Saturday, June 14. The purpose was to determine the amount of red ball insignias to be ordered. On Saturday, June 21, Red Ball decals will be delivered to each household which requested them.

In addition to the regular third-Saturday-of-every- month recycling drives held at the. McHenry Market Place (such as the one to be held there this Saturday, June 21), an experimental curbside pickup program will begin June 23 and be carried out for six weeks in a few select communities in McHenry. This project is sponsored jointly by the McHenry County Defenders, McHenry Alternative high school and CETA (Com prehensive Educationl Training act). Leaflets aire being dist ributed this week* in some areas of McHenry. If a household receives one it means that street is to be included. At the end of the six-week experimental program it will be able to be determined if a higher percentage of people become involved in recycling if curbside service is provided than if they must bring materials to the regular drive. Under the experimental program newspapers, cardboard and magazines (each bundled separately, for they are processed through different channels) may be put at curbside on the designated day in a particular community, which will coincide with the regular trash pickup day. Arrangements have been made with Waste Management, which will pick up trash as ususal but leave bundled paper, magazines and cardboard. These will then be picked up by the recycling crew, so that by the end of the day the curbside will be clear of both trash and recyclbles. T h e e x p e r i m e n t a l program will begin Monday, June 23, and continue through the end of July. Glass, cans, aluminum and used motor oil - in addition to newspapers, cardboard and magazines will be accepted at the regular recylcing drive in McHenry, to be held this Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. People are requested not to leave recyclables there at any other time. Anyone having questions may call the McHenry C o u n t y D e f e n d e r representative at 385-8512 or the McHenry Alternative high school at 344-2424.
