The heavy blanket of snow has disappeared and the folks up Knollwood way once again become read conscious as they enjoy their favorite yearly pastime of automobile planting on their roads. "Hie daily rising temperatures have made conditions ideal for this sport. From where we sit, the only ray of hope we can see for a change in this scene is through membership in the Property Owners association, an organization that has done such a splendid job on the McCullom Lake Estate roads. Contact Bill Creut er A1 Wetie^for membership. The happiest event in the lives of the St. occurred on March 10 toith arrival of Lynne Diane at the Ann's hospital in Chicago. » The little lady weighed in at 7 pounds and 13 ounces as she entered this world.

I Just eight minutes after the alarm was turned in the McHenry fire department under fire chief Gus Freund had the fire under control. It was the speed and efficiency of the McHenry fire fighters that kept the ' damage down to a minimum in spite •of their antiquated equipment.

We have it on good authority that Ed has been taking lessons from Ray Deskis, the McCullom Lake Casanova, and Pat is begining to notice the change. Oh well, it's spring and Ed is a young man. • Alan McKim, Chuck Brocken and ; Dave Boyle are three boys who can jget more mileage out of one girl on I a dance floor than anyone we know. !
