MUSIN ' AND MEANDERIN ' (Continued from page 1) "3 - A social worker called in an ur­ gent request for woman with several children whose husband just left her. Social worker will pick up and deliver tomorrow. "4--Lady with two children was embarrassed because she needs help. She remembers as a youngster at­ tending a local school how she used to take canned foods to help others. She was crying when she called -- didn't know what to do about the bills and the need for food. "And we were able to help. "6 - A lady called saying she and her son would help wrap gifts and deliver for Christmas. "6 - Another person is moving to another city this weekend and after reading paper wants to donate food, check and new game for Christmas. ' Someone came over with a check for $25 "And on and on "The power of the press - how great it is! And how wonderful for FISH. "I'm sure because of your articles (Musin' and Meanderin' and the story) we'll be getting far greater support throughout the entire year. And we'll need it. " Marengo school delivered 400 items to our pantry this afternoon That puts us in great shape at the moment, but Christmas will soon be here and we face a long winter. But every bit helps. "I couldn't believe it today - the food came in, and the food went out. My family room was just a temporary shelter for the donations. "You have done us a great service, as well as the entire community". A newspaper is in business to serve. The credit goes to those who work tirelessly year 'round for FISH and to the generous people of our community who responded to this appeal. KAF BONUSES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES (Continued from page 1) such bids would be let is in February of 1982. Alderman George Harker noted that residents of the Garden Quarter apartments had complained of inadequate lighting in hallways and the parking lot. The residents, Harker said, cited various incidents of women being chased, etc. in their plea for city in­ tervention. Attorney Narusis pointed out that the enforcement authority was in the building code, if the council chose to pursue the matter. Mayor Stanek suggested that the situation might be referred to the ap­ propriate fire inspection authority. Alderman Raymond Smith com­ mented, "If we try to force people to change light bulbs, we are getting out in left field." Other aldermen said the tenants might consider withholding rent until the matter is resolved. PEOPLE - COMPARING IDEAS (Continued from page 1) He commented on a lunch at a "typical English pub" and said it was customary for the young men to stand outside with their beer or ale and "watch the scenery." The British, he commented, have cut inflation about in half. He also noted that there was no evidence of the ENTRY FORM THEME: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS NAME ADDRESS PHONE Residence must be within the boundaries of the local school districts: McHenry Districts 15 and 156, Johnsburg District 12. All entry forms must be submitted to the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce at 1257 N. Green street by Dec. 18,3 p.m. Judging will take place Dec. 20. Contest entries will be judged on the basis of aptness toward the town theme, "Home for the Holidays"; originality of concept and presentation of idea; beauty ; overall visual impact; visibility-both in daylight and in the evening; and effort. country's financial strife in London. "The British feel they are making progress against inflation," Bolger said. "They compare the Reagan economic policy to Mrs. Thatcher's ([Mime minister)." The next stop on the ageqda was in Brussels, Belgium, which is the headquarters for NATO and the European Economic commission (the Common Market). By contrast, Bolger said that economically Belgium was hurting. "Belgium is heavily dependent on the steel industry and like our auto in­ dustry, it has not adjusted and adap­ ted," he said. The Common Market, he com­ mented, was similar in nature to the United Nations, with each of the nations involved working together. He com­ mented that there was great concern about the ne^-French government. In Bonn, W. Germany, the delegation met with the American Ambassador to W. Germany, Dr. Arthur F. Burns, who is also a past member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve bank. The group viewed the stock exchange in Frankfurt, and also the Deutsches Bundesbank, the central bank in Germany. v"We found the German people and bankers very supportive of the Reagan economic policies," Bolger said. "They would like to see a drop in interest rates because all of the prices are pegged to the dollar." He noted that the German people are much more conscious of interest and exchange (dollar to Deutschmark) rates because of the dealings with other countries and currencies. "They watch the exchange rates like we watch baseball," Bolger pointed out. He also noted that there were specialized banks which were owned by the municipalities. "It's as if the City of McHenry or the county owned the bank," Bolger said. "The earnings are used to supplement tax revenues." Bolger also noted that there is much more automatic depositing in Ger­ many, where a person's check from work is automatically depositein his or her account. This sort of thing never really caught on in the United States, he commented. In Switzerland, Bolger said the farming methods had essentially not changed for many years. "There is a lot of opposition to the building of roads and the 'spoiling' of land," he said, noting that the Europeans make a much better use of trains than Americans. The Swiss are very defensive about inquiries into the "secret Swiss bank account," Bolger said. The Swiss, he explained, to do not consider the non-payment of taxes a felony, therefore no information is released to foreign governments. If a person is suspected of a serious crime, then the banks will release information. As in Germany, the Swiss also have the municipally owned financial in­ stitutions, which are referred to as "Cantonelles." These banks, he said, are very MCC CATALOG 'OUTLET STORE MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MERCHANDISE CLEARANCE CENTER 301 W.
