Fartnside Wins State Prixe
The Huntley Farmside news¬ paper was honored last week at the annual Illinois Press Associa¬ tion Conventwn held at the St. Nicholas Hotel  in  Springfield.
Several months ago the Farm- side entered a Community Service Division, Class A, of ttve Illinois Press Association State News¬ paper contest. A total of ,56 news¬ papers throughout the state enter¬ ed this particular division.
The Farmeside rtmked 4th in this contest and received an Hon¬ orable Mention ribbon, a plaque for the office's troi*y wall, fflid an emblem to be printed weekly in the newspajjer wiiich appears on the front iwke of the paper. The certificate for the wall reads as follows: "Certificate of Award — This Certifies that Huntley Farm- side has been awarded HONOR¬ ABLE MENTION fei^the Contest for COMMUNTlfW SERVICE [DIV.A] — 196^ ILLINOIS NEWSPAPER   CX?NTEST   Spon
David Kiramer, Gibson CSty Courier; Herbert Bassman, La¬ Grange Citizen; ^^n Denson, Flora Daily News-J^^Ird.
Diviaon A was for weekly and daily newspapers with a circula¬ tion of under 3500. The Farmside's entry in the contest was the tree project held February 9 and 16th at the Huntley Cemetery. As you will recall last year an ordinance was passed by the VUlage Board stating that all dead ekn trees had to be r«noved. TTie cemetery committee did not have One funds to remove these trees. As the months went on the trees began to disintegrate and fall onto the adjacent road and the graves in the cemetery. A year ago on Oc¬ tober 4, 1962, the Farmside ran a picture of these dead trees wi the front page of the p^>er with an announcement from Mr. Emest Fitzi of the cemetery associatkwi that people had not paid their $5.00 annual fee fw lots. Mr. Fitzi hop¬ ed that the people would do this so that the cemetery could get enough money to cut down the trees. TTie money did not C(»ne in and the idea of removing the trees was neglected until January when the Huntley Farmside came out with an editorial explaining that there were 70 or more dead trees to be removed from the ceme¬ tery and that Mayor Wilpault Brill had a solution to "Huntley's disgrace." His idea was that "the community, as a whole, especially those with ability to cut down trees, gather smne weekend in the near future to dispose of the prob¬ lem."
As we stated before the ceme¬ tery cwnmittee did not have the money to dispose of the trees and at that time there was a bki of $75.00 per tree to ranove them. This would have figured tixfot $1700.00 for the whole job.
On January 17, Mayor Brill put a notice in the paper stating that Saturday, February 9, wlB be a day dedicated to the removal of the trees. As this was Natk>nal Printing Week, the Farmside con¬ tinued with an editwial on B«i_ jamin 'Franklin and how Franklin, if he had Hved fn this thne in the

Soon you will close your hemes with tight fitting storm doors and windows, but at the sante time, turn up the heating units or fire up the furnace with coal and wood, expecting to keep you and your loved ones warm all winter long. Have you considered that peihape the heating system needs repaie? Has the trouble you had last year ever been taken care of? Any heating system needs refiare work same as your car — do it now. Not only cleaning the inside of (he lieating system iHit arround it is very imfwrtant. Items aa paper, boxes, scrap wood, paint rags, paint cans, oil rags, cleaning fluid, etc., all very explosive when heat around them becomes great. Aak yourself. How fh^safe is my home for tWs winter? Take a few houn of spare time and. look it over from roof to foastment, electrice wires never be forgotten. It will suprise you the things you can find. Just give Mr. Fire a diance and he will find it for you. Don't let him in. do it your self.
In looking over our 1962 tin calls, there wasn't ont call for a home burning in the Village of Huntiey. Not many ViUages our size have a record Uke this.
It oidy means <»t« thing — you •s home ownen or renters were careful, did cleanu p aiid oot, you did not take a fooMrit chwce or make the fqoiiah sUtement It won't happen io ma'. Be a ftrg ssl^ home owner, oarelessaiss ao mat. ter how small can ebst you • I«t of nonejr and sorrow.
