Walter Stromskv had thought the navy would be to his liking, but Uncle Sam said he needed him in the army, so Wallie is at Fort Sheridan now, awaiting further orders. Still on the subject of servicemen, we noticed a few more uniforms around Wonder Lake this weekend. Capt. J. JoVgensohn brightened our little corner with smiles for his old friends' here. Dick Willett's eyes are bright and shiny with pride for Daddy, Lt. Colonel Willett,, home on furlough. Welcome to our fold this week, seemed to me a bold accusation, es pecially since none can deny bufc that the paper, its publisher. C. F Renich, and its editor, A. H. Mosher, have done as much for our service? men and women as was humanly possible. For months before any help was solicited the paper was sent to all local boys, and girls--and local included quite a territory^ This ir« eludes many of our McCullom Lake boys and girls and those from_ othef subdivisions, some of whom Had onljf; a casual acquaintanceship here. While we have all nobly helped to contribute to the cause, we cer tainly realize in doing so that this is r>r.ly small compensation for th£ tim*>i work and money spent in sendin new permanent members, Miss Car-1 weekly papers to 550 servicemen rie Rhode and her sister, Mrs. Gussie Gust af son. Welcome to our fold, .also, Ted Morse and family, permanent residents of Wickline Bay. Mr. Morse, who hails from Lancaster, Ohio, has taken a position with the Woodstock Journal. One of the things I addition, the Plaindealer, more than any other home town weekly I have read, devotes the greater part of it» front page to s'ories and pictures of our boys and. girls. What the servicemen and women feel toward th? Plaindealer is ex-, pressed weekly in their letters. That think would be of interest to knowjanyone could hope to detract fronv is that in Lancaster, each purchaser1 patriotism of this kind is beyond my is given a receipt in the form of a [ comprehension.

This past week was a busy one at . the home of Jack Graff. On Wednesday, May 2, Mr. Graff passed ,his, 66th milestone on the road of life, and on the following Saturday, _.May , 6, Mr. and Mrs. Graff celebrated forty years of marriage, surrounded i by their children and their children's children, all of whom came out from, Chicago for this most happy occasion. Is this call necessary? "Yes, it is," said Vera Henthorne as she listened to Les' voice coming over th£ phone from New York. We won't repeat the rest of the conversation, but parting, even for two weeks, is such sweet sorrow. The Wonder Lake Baseball team , had a big day Sunday. They played a double header, losing to McCullom Lake in the first game 8 to 6 and winning the second game from Lilly Lake 8 to 7. ; . 7 Glad to hear-you're on your feet again, Mrs. Shau. That isn't like you to let a little old "flu" germ keep you, indoors, away from your garden, especially with everything coming up no^ nice and needing your magic touch.
