tAKL WALSH So I Hear maintain enought heat through the night when our children were small.. That meant shirttailing it^down to build up the fire in the middle of the night. Oh. I remember coal! CLOSE STATE FACILITIES Secretary of State Jim Edgar has announced that all of his offices and facilities will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 11, for Veterans' day. Present Eagle Rank Award To Paul Beran Parks & Recreation Some of our contributors are so bashful they won't sign their names. This one sends me a clipping about getting your delivery of coal. It is signed, "One of your many readers. Keep it up". Notes like this make me keep it up. Mention of coal days is enough to get me off and wingin'. Going back to early days with my parents; we had a coal shed out back of the wood shed No furnace. We put down papers near the door of the shed to keep from tracking dust into the house. Our back porch had a large woodbox with a high "splasher" up the back to prevent banging wood against the house. Coal was brought to the porch in buckets, one for hard coal and one for soft (pocahontas). It was my job when a small boy to put on overalls after school, fill the wood- box, lug in the coal and split a supply of kindling Let's not forget carrying out the ashes Merchandise shipped to storekeepers was packed in wood boxes A kid could take his wagon and haul home boxes to break up for kin­ dling Storekeepers threw the empty boxes on a pile out back and were generous in letting you pick up what you needed. Before the days of a fur­ nace, we had a hard coal stove in the living room. It was big, with fancy nickel trim. A hopper (self feeder) ran from the top to the fire pot. You could see the fire through the isinglass sides. It was cheerful looking, but you had to stand close to it and keep turning around to get warm on a severe winter night. The little stove in the kitchen was our father's pride and joy. He called it the boomer. It was a boomer all right. When our father bought a cabinet style, circulating heater, we thought a portion of heaven had descended upon us. He bought if from his good friend Joe Engeln, who ran a hardware store where Bimbo's tavern is now located. When wedding bells wafted us from our parents' homes, we rented a house with a pipeless floor furnace. That is when we learned about dust from coal and ashes. When coal was delivered and shoveled through the basement window into the bin, we stuffed papers and rags in every spot where we thought dirt could seep through. The little Holland boy, who held his thumb over the hole in the dike, had more suc­ cess than we had. Tending the furnace was a real chore. Every time I entered the house it meant a trip to the basement. Banking the fire didn't Chinese Cooking II The City of McHenry Department of Parks and Recreation will sponsor a cooking class entitled Cuisines of China II.

Recycling Is Partial Answer To Big Problem The problem of waste disposal was recently discussed by the McHenry County board. A small scale solution to the problem goes on within McHenry county in the form of the many recycling programs carried on each year If each family living with within McHenry county could become a recycler, not only of newspapers, glass, cans, aluminum,, and oil, but would also dispose of their food scraps in the garden or compost pile, take used clothing and furniture to the Goodwill drop location and be selective when making purchases of disposable and over- packaged items, the landfill needs would not be eliminated but would cer­ tainly be greatly decreased. Over 6.000 cubic vards of landfill space were saved last year through the recycling of material through the recycling projects in the county. ^ This Saturday, Nov. 7, is one of the two monthly drives for newspaper, glass, cans, oil, and aluminum held in the southeast corner of the McHenry Market Place and sponsored jointly by the McHenry County Defenders and other non-profit groups. Members of the East campus Honor society will be on hand from 9 until 1 to help unload cars and offer twine to families bringing in their prepared recyclable material Anyone having questions regarding recycling is in­ vited to call the McHenry C o u n t y D e f e n d e r s representative at 385-8512 or 459-0450: PAUL BERAN Legal Notice McHENRY COUNTY COLLEGE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30,1981 Community College, DistrictNo. 188 State of Minois Counties: McHenry, Boone, Kane, Lake Total District Assessed Value $1,042,334,985 Total District Bond Debt $2,810,000 Tax Rates: Education Fund Operations, Bldg. & Maint.

This federal project plans to cut through the Pike county Conservation area and the 150-year-old Wade Wildlife sanctuary. This site is a traditional, documented , roosting area for Bald Eagles, who have used the area for the past 80 years. Alternate routes for this expressway do exist. Let's save this wildlife habitat - write to your federal and state legislators, and to the governor. Urge them to select an alternate route. Tell them that the people in Illinois care and do not want to destroy our Bald Eagle Habitat!
