IMII IVI , IH. IUDT n £V,i90^ Wildlife Calendar DEER XING ;T Heed warning signs. Deer-auto , collisions are costly for both people and wildlife. (A monthly column by the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Project of the McHenry County Conservation District.) For the next three months there is a 'tetter than average chance that you ?tould hit a white-tailed deer while '^riving your car. If that happens, the j^leer may not be the only one hurt, fruman fatalities are rare in deer-auto collisions, but drivers and passengers are frequently injured. And damage to the vehicle averages $450. October through December is white- tail rutting season. Bucks are con­ centrating on mating with does and not on the danger on the roads. At the same time, harvesting of crops are ^changing normal deer feeding pat­ terns and territories, increasing their j Agitation and movement. b* Since rutting and crop harvesting tare two natural and necessary ac­ tivities that cannot be stopped, you "Montlni Forms Student Council jr.

Take the following precautions. Reduce your speed and be alert for deer at the edge of the road, especially at dawn and dusk. Make a mental note of where you have seen deer. Watch carefully going around curves or when approaching favorite deer crossings near wooded areas, creeks or drainage systems. If you see a deer cross safely in front of your car, slow and expect more to fallow. Deer frequently travel in' groups of two or three. If the deer sees you, don't expect him to stop or change direction. Deer are not noted for making sensible decisions. When the deer is standing in the road, don't assume that he will run off as you approach. Remember that headlights can temporarily blind and confuse a deer. The noise of a blaring horn may further confuse the animal. Use your horn as a last resort when it looks as if you are going to hit a running deer. Then the noise may produce an extra burst of speed from the deer to get him out of the way. And pay attention to deer warning signs. They are placed where deer- auto collisions are likely to occur. Certain areas of McHenry county have large deer populations which increases the likelihood of an ac­ cident. Route 120 west of McHenry between Martin and Thompson roads; Three Oaks road near Cary between Routes 14 and 31; and the Bull Valley area are locations where drivers should be particularly cautious. Deer usually do not fare well when struck by a car, but some do survive. The McHenry County Conservation district's Wildlife Rehabilitation project has been able to help some recover and return to the wild. Others with more serious injuries must be destroyed - a needless loss of wildlife. The McHenry County Conservation district is conducting a study of deer- auto collisions in the county to pin­ point problem areas and to research ways to reduce the number of ac­ cidents. The district has installed experimental deer reflector systems on two state roads in the county. This mirror system reflects headlight beams to alert deer to oncoming vehicle before the deer enter the roadway. Systems are presently located on Route 14 south of Harvard and on Route 23 north of River road.

Gardner succeeds Norm Heinrich as head of the organization which represents many segments of the dairy industry to boost milk and all milk products. I.einrich served as chairman for seven years. During that time the Dairy Promotion council instituted a successful project in conjunction with the McHenry County Fair to staff the lunch room in Building D on the fairgrounds. This year's promotional endeavors included the sale of ice cream cones at the booth in addition to milk shakes, cheese and ham sandwiches and milk. Don Luerssen, Alden, was elected vice-chairman and Larry Harris was reelected secretary-treasurer. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 27, 1932) The annual orchestra concert given by the combined McHenry, Crystal Lake and Dundee orchestras, under the direction of W.N. Sears, will be given in McHenry according to present plans and will be sponsored by the Mothers club of this city. It is customary for the club to sponsor some enterprise each year to raise funds for the charity work the club does each year. Mrs. E.E. Bassett received injuries to her right hand when it became accidentally caught in an electric wringer. The middle finger was' severely crushed and three stitches were taken in a deep gash in the finger. The other\ fingers were bruised. \ FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 29, 1942) I Gasoline hoarders were under warning by the state fire marshal's office that if they anticipate rationing they are liable to fines as violators of the state gasoline code and that each day of violations contributes a separate offense. Rehearsals for several weeks have been in progress for the annual class play which will this year be presented on Friday, the thirteenth. Don't let the date scare you for the cast is deter­ mined to make this one of the best plays in the school's history in spite of the ominous warnings concerning Friday the thirteenth. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 24, 1957) The first Sunday service for followers of the Presbyterian faith will be held Nov. 3 at 7 o'clock at Eastwood Manor's west barn. All interested people are urged to attend and hear Dr. Cummins speak. Following the service those present will discuss the future of the church in this community. This is the story of a happy ending. Within the past few days, Donald McCracken found a money pouch in a parking lot just off Main street, congaining more than $200 in cash and checks. He took it to local police, who traced a check as far as a Main street address. Hours later, Edward Cannon anxiously called the city hall to find out whether his day's restaurant receipts, lost enroute to the bank, had been turned in. It must renew one's faith in people to find that such a sizeable sum is safe through another's honesty. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 27, 1972) The Committee of Local Im­ provements for McHenry county has developed a petition form and in­ formational sheet for use by sub­ divisions desiring to initiate local improvements by special assessment. Tax bills have never been so late and collections so slow. Dorr and Grafton township bills were mailed Oct. 14 and Nunda township bills were mailed Oct. 17. Payment dates for both installments are shown on the tax bills. Police Chief Kenneth Espey an­ nounced that repairs on the Rt. 120 state bridge would begin about Nov. 1. Until their completion, south bound traffic on Riverside drive will not be allowed to make a left turn. Both the east and west ends of the bridge will be regulated with stop and go signs to permit one-way traffic. The highway project is expected to last about four weeks. Rbvitalizing The Cities An organization dedicated to the economic revitalization of Illinois cities will gather Oct. 20-0ct. 22 in Springfield to discuss with state of­ ficials, bankers and others the best way to get the job done. The Illinois League of Redevelopment Officials (ILRO), chartered 12 years ago, plans to emphasize at the Springfield meeting how communities can best work with existing assets to improve the­ mselves, rather than relying on out-of- town or out-of-state concerns. Most of the conference speakers will have practical experience in trying to make Illinois urban areas more vibrant. Among the speakers will be Peter B. Fox, director of the Illinois Depart­ ment of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA) which has as one responsibility halping cities help themselves. "Our department has several programs aimed specifically at the problems ILRO is addressing," said Fox. "For example, five Illinois towns are now taking part in DCCA's 'Main Street' program which has enjoyed considerable success." Under the Main Street Illinois project, participating communities (East-West Dundee, Macomb, Mt. Carroll, Quincy and Vandalia) have a local manager paid in part by the community and in part by the state.r Fox also said another way Illinois cities benefit is under DCCA's Community Development Assistance program in which the state ad­ ministers federal funds and issues grants to cities with worthy projects. The first round of state CDAP grants was recently announced and more federal funding is expected this fall. Also speaking at the conference will be DCCA experts on a new program making long-term loans to small businesses and the recently approved enterprise zone legislation. FOODS TOTAL DISCOUNT 3705 W.
