A few weeks ago we mentioned in our column that our Wildcats are sadly in need of uniforms and equipment. Now to remedy this need the boys will give you a chance to get an extra war tend if you will help • them in their drive for funds ' for new uniforms. These boys are doing a swell job and their constant victories are making many a former Wildcat in the armed forces mighty happy. Let's give them our wholehearted support. Here is news that should make all 7 the boat owners, very happy. Mr. ^Gorenson, chairman of the Beach and Park committee of the Property Owners Assn., informs us that present plans call for Erection of a concrete sea-wall at a portion of our beach with permanent anchorages in- ' stalled to accommodate the many boats which are now scattered all over the beach. To date many boats have been stolen. To prevent future thefts Mr. Gorenson requests that you register your boat with him' or jerry Cermak, who is chairman of the Beach and Park committee of the McCullom Lake Community club, and a number will be stenciled on your boat and space will be allotted to anchor it. There will be no charge for this service. This move will greatly lessen the chances of your boat being stolen and will also keep non-residents from cluttering up our 1 beach with their boats. So for your own i benefit as well as the benefit, of the community* cooperate. ' / ADIOS.
