SCHAEFER'9 ALLEtS On Monday, Apyil 1, the Boy Scouts ©f troop 162 met in the gym of the Grade School where Mr. Schoenholtz made many announcements. Among these was the one for boys of Catholic faith to attend Holy Mass on Sunday, April 14, to receive Holy Communion, and in the afternoon to go to Rockford to attend the Solemn Pontifical 'Benediction at St. James Pro-Cathedral. Another was that all Boy Scouts who wanted to go on a camping: trip to Huntley might go on April 19 and 20. Our troop feels privileged ,that we may go there because the troop that owns it won't let every troop in there. Last night our troop received a ten-year award for getting a charter for ten years in succession and for having re-reeistered eightv per cent of the enrollment of each previous year. The merit badge that "we are going to represent at the merit badge show in Woodstock is wood-turning. Robert Richardson and Tommy Lawson will make the sign with Mr. Schoenholtz' help. There will be a committee in charge of a ticket drive for the iwople who want to p-o there. Robert Schapfer will be chairman in charge of the ticket drive while Tommy Lawson will be general chairman of all work, pertaining to the merit badge show for our troop. Ray Page, Rav MoGee, C. H. Duker, Elmer Freund. Seth Richardson. Glenn Peterson. C. Anrlese and R. Fyfe attended the troon committee meeting t*» discuss plans for transportating the bovs to^the merit badge show and to find two assistant scoutmasters for our troop. After the announcements we nlaved games and taps were blown at 8:30. Let's get ready to make the Huntley trip a success! SCOUT RUDOLPH JOHNSON.

They could send Dizzy Dean and a bundle of cash to the Giants. The Giants would then have both "Me and Paul." The Giants could then use the cash to buy Bartell back from Detroit and everything would be back to normal. -I- :• Looks like the Sox have a third baseman in Kennedy. --i-- J.

From there we went into Miss Ropp's room where we played all kinds of baby games, "London Bridge," "The Farmer in the I Dell," "Ring Around the Rosy," and I "How Do You Do M^ Partner." These games seemed to help us get into the spirit of the party even more. I Very much to our surprise, MiSs Bauer and Miss Althoff were dressed J like little girls.

It was erroneously stated last week that Miss Isabelle Freund. of Johnsburg, and Mr. Morris Hoven were married last Wednesday, March 27, at Nell's White House. Rather, they were married at St. John's church, Johnsburg, at 9:00, Rev. A. J. Neidert officiating. The dinner was held at the White House. The bride in white taffeta, carried pink carnations and white snapdragons. The maid of honor, Miss Leona Smith, in peach taffeta, and the bridesmaid, Mrs. Clemens Freund, of Chicago, in blue taffeta, both had bouquets of bronze snapdragons and pink carnations. Clemens Freund, of Chicago, was the best man. f ill /the hurt few days, according to the'Chicago Tribune straw ballot, the results show more favorable to the nomination of Richard J. Lyons, candiate for governor on the Republican ticket. Indications are that the Dwight H. Green sentiment has passed its peak and a change is showing toward Lyons. The straw shows*that in Waukegan, Lyons was leading by about 3 to 1 and in Woodstock by about 2 to 1. If is believed that McHehry would probably show about the same trend as Woodstock.
