* PAGE4 -PLAINDEALER - WEDNt 1> W . MARCH31,1982 EARL WALSH" So I Hear Came the voice over the phone, "This is your favorite cousin". Clarification identified the caller as one named Melvin. The favorite one had just read my last column and headed for the dictionary when he read the word britchen. He hastened to tell me the name is breeching. He's the kind who wouldn't think of calling a creek a crick. I'll refer you to the favorite one to describe another part of a harness closely related to a "britchen". He never harnessed a team of horses in his life, but knows the parts aren't near the bridle. A measly looking squirrel appeared at our feeder last week, looking like he hadn't eaten all winter. He has been stuffing himself like a pig and is rounding into form. We are elated wtih a belated St. Patrick's Day ft that was ordered, but _ dn't arrive in time. A set of glasses that aren't intended for water. Beautiful. Class in glass. Covered all over with shamrocks and gold. Many people who do not jog get their exercise by joining protest marches. Our garden work has been cut in naif. The asparagus bed conked out. All that is left is the rhubarb. We are getting our wren houses up this week. Would you believe? Those fussy little chirpers wouldn't set up housekeeping in common, ordinary houses. SUBSCRIPTION RATES HEARING AIDS THAT HELP PROTECTl •YOU FROM!

If not, they should try to get a copy or else contact me. I'll let them read mine or get them a copy, but I'll warn ahead of time, if the property owners don't abide by them they are breaking them, but if MPOA goes against its 'by-laws', it is considered a 'slight technicality'. "We are being discriminated against. "1 - We are assessed more •<- much more for our little *lots thai acreage. "2 - Be aware of our 'voting Power' - our subdivisions with large populations that pay a lot get wiped out by open land with no population, and they pay less. "3 - There are subdivisions that have the same privileges - beach, boating, etc do not pay MPOA dues and do not pay dam dues. "4 - Property near mine is controlled by a business man who I know has not paid one cent for years toward s u b d i v i s i o n , r o a d assessments or MPOA. (I'm only citing one, he has quite a few more) - of course there is a 'slight technicality'. "We are constantly being told to keep a low profile or we will lose our 'voting power' - what power? We haven't any voting rights to lose. "People interested in more 'technicalities' or the power structure of our area may call me - do not call MPOA.

"Helen Giertuga "728-0605" OOOOOOOOOOOCK Safety Hints »ooooooooooo By Secretary of State Jim Edgar All motor vehicles in Illinois must have a horn which can be heard from at least 200 feet. Horns with unreasonably loud or harsh sounds are prohibited, and no horn may be sounded unnecessarily. Sirens, whistles or bells are not allowed except on authorized emergency vehicles. gm iflonyou use your-.-horn properly? The horn is in­ tended as a safety device to enable you to warn other drivers and pedestrians of your presence. When others are aware of your vehicle, they will be less likely to make a move which might cause an accident. Having a horn on your vehicle does not give you the right to honk it every time a traffic condition irritates you. Other drivers and pedestrians, startled by the sudden loud blast of your horn, may cause an accident instead of avoiding one. A careful driver will sound his or her horn only when he or she knows it is necessary. The horn always should be used to give a warning, not to demand the right of way. If you have any questions about the Secretary of State's office, please feel free to use our toll-free telephone number (800-252- 8980). (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Jim Edgar, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111. 62756.)
