A light bed of greens was topped with a wonderful vinigrette. A stew of succulant beef, delicious carrots, celery, and onions were swimming in a sea of beef broth. It was simmered to perfection and accompanied by tufted peaks of mashed potatoes with butter drizzeled over the top. To finish there were moist frosted cup cakes and hot fudge sundaes. The tables were adorned with last Sunday's comics, last week's pie tins and fine stainless silverware.
When all seemed satisfied and filled, it was time for the show. It was not your usual show, but the Hobo Show. The Hobo Show, now in it's 24th year, isn't just a musical or even just a comedy. It's a multifaceted show with one main theme to carry you along and keep your interest peaked. This years theme was "Get a Job." It depicted the plight of a group of hobos "trying" to find work. We were allowed to witness the "attempts" at finding employment.
In addition to the fine dining and theatre, there were door prizes, as well as goodie bags at every seat. In the goodie bags were various items donated by local business, such things as pens, pencils, coffee mugs, subscriptions, key chains, magnets, and assorted other knick knacks.
The cast consisted of: Doug Bakley, Andy Cole, Prudy Cole, Rick Femali, Sue Frihart, Terry Frihart, Mary Lou Hardy, Carl Hill, Shelby Hill, Mary Hogan, Margaret Knott, Dorrel Koon, Gary Koon, Raelene Reynolds, Steve Reynolds, David Thakwray, Mike Thakwray, Betsey Warrington, Larry Warrington, and Ron Woodruff.

Defenders Appeal Waste Management Landfm Decision
The McHenry County Defenders has filed an appeal with the Illinois Pollution Control Board objecting to the County Board's February 24, 1988 decision that the landfill proposed by Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. on McCue Road is needed to accomodate the waste needs of McHenry County, it was announced today by Jerry Paulson, Executive Director of the local environmental group. The appeal was filed with the PCS on March 11, 1988. No date has been set for a hearing on the peti¬ tion.
"We support the County Board's decision to deny the Waste Management landfill application on two other criteria," explained Paulson. "But, we think they made a serious mistake by saying the landfill is neeeded."
The Defenders participated - in the hearings on Waste Management's landfill appli¬ cation on the basis that the company failed to demonstrate the need for the proposed landfill, and failed to con¬ sider McHenry County's efforts to implement its Solid Waste Management Plan, including the County's well- advanced plans to develop its own landfill. Waste Manage¬ ment also failed to consider available landfill capacity Continued on page 6
Postage  Rate   Hike  Expected
Board  of Education  Meeting
The U.S. Postal Service has released the design of a colorful new nondenominated stamp featuring the planet Earth which will be issued to correspond with a new domestic First-Class postage rate expected to be imple¬ mented this spring.
The nondenominated stamp, called the "E" stamp, is being issued to assure that an adequate supply of First- Class letter postage is available until new denomi¬ nated postage can be produced to conform with new rates:
Postal officials said new rated are expected to be
considered by the Governors of the Postal Service and implemented in April. The "E" stamps will go on sale about two weeks before the new rates become effective.
Faced with increases in operating costs, the Postal Service last May filed a request with the independent Postal Rate commission for a 3-cent increase in the cost of a First-Class stamp and average increases of 16% for all classes of mail.
The Postal Service proposed a First Class postage rate of 25 cents—still the least Continued on page 4
expensive among industrial nations. Postage rates have remained stable since February 1985, when the price of a First-Class stamp rose from 20 cents to 22 cents.
