Worldfamed artists, including the celebrated Dutch master Joep Nicolas, co-operated in creating the colorful windows. The windows of the Catholic chapel depict the seven Sacraments, while the Protestant chapel windows exemplify the eight Beatitudes. The windows of the main church tell the story of the Creation and other Biblical tales.

Our visit to the flower show at the International Harvester Bhow room8 at McHenry last Friday evening, was an event in our life which wdll long be remembered. After viewing the many floral specimens in the Frank C. Howard exhibit, and the many ribbons awarded our good neighbor, a feeling of pride swelled within us, which affirmed our many past assertions that McCullom Lake is truly the garden spot of America. Alfred' Arregc-.*, master of horticulture on the Howard estate, presented his craftsmanship in a manner which earned for Mr. Howard eight first awards, four second and three thirds. A huge silver platter of garden vegetables, arranged in a novel fashion, was among the first prize winners. We have every reason to believe that the king size onions included in this exhibit played an important part in swaying the judges in their decision. One sniff of those "Bermuda bombs" would bring tears to the eyes of the strongest of men. Among the Frank C. Howard floral specimen in the exhibit were dahlias, a two color fortyniner rose, cotton tail, beefsteak begonia, leather plant, fiscus Elastica, colius and in the gladiolus varities Ethel Cave Cole, leading lady and gold dust. After two years of concentration on producing a streamlined bean, Alfred Arreger merited second prize for his masterpiece at Friday's showing. Head the Want Ads!

Jerry Doran, Shirley Olsen', Evalynne Levesque and their seven offspring decided on a quiet picnic at Williams Bay last Sunday. Their one-day excursion ended in true "ala Slatfield" style. Their 1932 vintage "Black Miy-ia" just wasn't made- to carry a load of ten hoomans and a ton of vitals. At the half way mark on the road to their destination, one of the six connecting rods in Black Maria's innerds decided to come out through the crank case to see what the weather was like on the outside, which was strictly against the rules of the connecting rod workers local, so the remaining five made a loud protest and quit cold, leaving the ten hoomans refugees stranded north of the 38th parallel. v ;, / Repeated efforts of the in the group to snare a passing motorist for a ride home failed and the gals decided to $ * likely spot to bed the Jtpong'uns down for the night.
