DIXON Secretary of State No one wants to have his or her driver's license suspended or revoked. Licenses are suspended most commonly upon con­ viction of three moving traffic violations in a 12- month period. More serious revocations are most prevalent after the following offenses: Conviction of driving while intoxicated will result in mandatory revocation of driving privileges. "Under the influence of intoxication liquor" means having 0.10 percent or more of alcohol by weight in the blood. Carrying any alcoholic liquor within the passenger area of a motor vehicle, except in the original package, seal unbroken, is prohibited. Drag racing also can cause the revocation of your license. Drag racing occurs when two or more people compete or race on any street or highway, when one driver tries to prevent the passing or overtaking of the competing driver by ac­ celeration, or when one or more drivers compete in a race against time. A third way to have your license revoked is by reckless driving, through "willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property." Conviction of three reckless driving violations in a 12-month period will result in man­ datory revocation. Your driver's license is valuable. Don't lose it through foolishness. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111. 62756.) Christmas Design Winner Twice Told Tales Shown discussing the paper selection for this year's MCC Christmas card are, from left, Art instructor Ossie Rometo, MCC student Robb Witt, who drew the card design, and MCC President Robert C. Bartlett. McHenry County college student Robb Witt is the winner of the annual contest to design the MCC Christmas card. Witt, a Crystal Lake resident and 1979 graduate of Crystal Lake Central high school, drew a family holiday decoration for his card design. Witt explained that the ornament is actually a cranberry scoop, a tool used to remove the berries from cranberry bushes. He said his grandmother found it in the basement and began to use it as a holiday decoration. Witt's design will be on the official college Christmas card which is mailed by President and Mrs. Robert Bartlett to various officials across the state. The cards which will be printed in black ink on ivory paper will also be available for sale to the public this year for the first time. They went on sale Dec. 8 in the MCC bookstore during regular store hours. Tips For Mail Service Postmaster Leroy Smith has reminded customers that for the best service this season they should use zip codes, place their return address in the upper left corner of the envelope and use proper postage. "Bv following these suggestions," Postmaster Smith said, "You will be assured good mail service this holiday season." It is important, the McHenry postmaster con­ tinued, that families double check envelopes and cards to be certain that proper postage is affixed, envelopes n--jr~ u 11 SPECIAL CL0SE0UI PURCHASES FROM IN ALL OF OUR ri (DEPARTMENTS ALL SOLID OAK DINING ROOM SET by AMERICAN DREW ONLY *2495 Suggested Price $3500 Home «t tmriiijo 0>t* RECLINERS $ 2 i 9 ' 5 AND UP ntellBHRY Home fturitishiitfis 7y\ "The Store Thot Cares To Save You Money" QUEEN SIZE' f|i it SLEEPER 11 • rsai .

"When the return address is placed on envelopes bearing holiday greetings, it also helps remind friends of one's current address," Smith pointed. If the family to whom a holiday message is sent moved more than a year ago, it cannot be forwarded. With a return address, Postmaster Smith said, such letters are returned to the sender with a notation that the forwarding order has expired. * * * * The educators tell us that we can learn from the past but it can't be.done unless you are willing to read. • • • * The time for Christ­ mas shopping is at hand and stores have an unusually large stock of holiday goods for sale. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 11, 1930) Ray McGee is exhibiting in his store window a large oil painting executed by John W. Smith, owner of the Empire theatre of McHenry. Mr. Smith has named his work, "The Flaming Arrow," and has painted the scene from an incident in our early American history. A beautiful moonlight night, mountains in the background with a brilliant moon casting its pale light over a stockade nestling in the valley, while in the foreground there is a large figure of an Indian on hor­ seback and a flaming arrow cutting across the darkened sky carrying its message of warning to the whites. The largest auction sale in this vicinity for many months was held at the Will Harris farm when his entire outfit was sold at favorable prices. Mr. Harris has sold his 90-acre farm to A. Cooper of Chicago and he, with his family, expect to move soon to Crystal Lake, where they will make their future home. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 12, 1940) The County board adopted a resolution asking for a repeal of the three-day notice for intention-to-wed clause in the state marriage law. The same resolution has been adopted by various other counties in the state and by the state Association of County Clerks.

In spite of unfortunate weather conditions, a crowd of almost 300 persons gathered in the high school cafeteria to enjoy a delicious dinner and one of the finest programs ever presented by the McHenry Township Kiwanis club to honor the Warrior team and coaches. Chuck Majercik of Wonder Lake was named the most valuable player of the year, having been .chosen for the honor by his teammates. The McHenry Warriors won their first home game of basketball. They beat the Barrington Broncos 47 to 45 in a 3-minute overtime. "Twas the night before Thanksgiving and how thankful were Coach Fulton, his boys and the terrific crowd of home fans when that final second ticked away.
