McCullom Lake (ADVlStTISBIfBNT) Note of Thanks .-/The collections for the Mothers March on Polio proved an overwhelming success. The total amount collected in a little over an hour of house to house canvassing was $184.34. Everyone's cooperation in this drive was wonderfully unselfish. All the lights were on and some of the roads that are ordinarily very dark, were lighted like State and Madison on a holiday chopping night. Everybody was really •well about the whole affair and you all deserve a pat on the back for helping make our drive a success. A great big round of cheers should also go to those women who gave their ttme so willingly to this cause. One little item in particular that we thought worth mentioning was the fact the Jolly-Six club, a group of children including Cynthia and John Eourke, Marna, Mike, Karen and Jimmy Watkins, Gordon and Marita Thomson, had <a circus. They asked a small admission charge and sold popcorn they had made and the proceeds of the evening went to the polio fund. A grand total of $12.28 was' handed in. Wasn't it swell of them? Cullain-Knoll 9C»ftla{ former Sherly Huff of Johnsburg) are still in f'lorida on their honeymoon and enjoying it to the hilt. They don't intend to return until the middle of February.

TWICE TOLD TALES Twenty-Five Years Ago Miss lhfarie Niesen,, 21 yeahi old, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Niesen, died at the Woodstock hospital Wednesday night at 10 o'clock of peritonitis. She was taken to the hospital Tuesday. A home talent play for the benefit of St. John's church will be given by the John.-»burg Dramatic club at Johnsburg Sunday. At the last meeting of the** J*™? f tkree acts- ',The * li1 MM Am 4VA • M •••111 L. oi Cullom-Knoll association, it was decided to level off the beach and in turn use the sand to fill in the lake. Mr. Piatrowski was elected to contact Chuck Miller about the details and possible date for this project. It was also decided by the officers to issue a vehicle sticker to paid-up members in good standing. Although this was the association's last meeting, it was also the first meeting of 1954. This could be an eventful year for the community if we'd all get behind the club and push on to bigger and better things. Get in on the ground work and pitch In and help when it's needed and form a completely new and different attitude toward the many goals of the club. It's always more interesting when you can watch things being accomplished step by step, especially if you've had a hand in the progress yourself. Make a resolution for 1054, take an active interest in the association's struggle for a better community. Present from Norway Eve and Jake Levesque received a gorgeous baby buggy from..

Last summer's clothes by the dozen are hanging right now in many closets. Any suits, dresses or shirts in your closet that haven't been worn since last summer? Now is the time to clean them. They should have, of course, been cleaned last year when you were through with them. Then wrapped to keep dust off. They'd be ready to wear and less deteriorated too. So before telling you how to clean last summer's things, may we recommend you bring this winter's clothes to us and have them cleaned before you put them away for the summer? And when it comes to dry cleaning of last summer's clothes, we recommend you bring them to us. Tell us that the garment hasn't been cleaned since last summer. That way we'll take the necessary corrective steps to put it back in shape. To do it yourself -- even if you wanted to -- wpuld require too lengthy a technical explanation. But if the garment can be "wet cleaned", that is, washed, and you want to do It yourself -- these suggestions will be helpful to you. 1. Measure the garment thoroughly. 2. Soak in soft water made mildly alkaline. 3. Wash by hand in good neutral soap solution which will lather up well during hand rubbing. Be sure temperature of water is not more than 100 degrees F. 4. Next, rinse in clean soft water 5 or 6 times to remove all soap and any perspiration odor. 5. Finally, stretch to correct dimensions and allow to dry. 6. Press ca/efully and the garment to ready to wear. Any way you look at it, it's a lot of work, isn't it? So why not avoid all that and bring both this season's as well as last's clothing to -- RAINBOW CLEANERS* North Front Street, around the corner north of National Tea.

PHONE 96 McHENRY, ILL. 1954 Heart Fund Opened This Week Research into the teste causes of the heart diseases, responsible for more deaths than all other diseases combined, will receive top priority ill the program supported by the 1964 Heart Fund, which got underway this week and continues .through February in communities throughout the nation. The American Heart association and its affiliated state and local organizations, sponsors of the fUnd raising effort, report that the three major research, problems to Which Heart Fund contributions may help supply answers are these: 1. What are the causes of hardening of the arteries? *. ' 2. What are the high blood pressure ? 3. What are the causes rheumatic fever? These Vjthree conditions -- hardening /of the arteries, high blood pj-esgure -and rheumatic fever -- are responsible for more than 90 per cent of all diseases of the heart and blood vessels, which account for more than 750,000 deaths annually In the United States. Once the causes are understood, medical scientists will be in a far better position to establish controls ( and cures. More than $6,700,000 hap already been channeled by the national organization and its affiliates into the investigation of these and related problems. "It would be folly to predict how soon the causes will be discovered and cures effected," said Dr. Robert L. King of Seattle, president of the American Heart association, in a statement issued on the eve of the campaign's opening day. "Unfortunately, research does not operate by timetable. "But it would be a greater folly to suggest that these discoveries are beyond attainment in the not-too-distant future. "Although we have yet to learn the underlying causcs of tfre major forms of heart diseases, the advances which have been made have opened the way to important victories over heart disease. "These victories include surgical procedures and new drugs which can, in many cases, reduce high blood pressure which threatens serious injuiy to the heart or kidneys or brain. "They include the prevention of rheumatic fever by prompt treatment with penicillin of strepticcal infections -- which almost always precede initial or repeated attacks of rheumatic fever; "They include drugs which interfere with the clotting of blood and thus reduce the possibility of fatai complications following heart attacks, which result from the formation of a blood clot in one of the arteries that nourish the heart muscle." Dr. King pointed out that today the surgeon's scalpel invades the human heart almost as a routine matter, not only correcting defects which are present at birth, but also valves that have been dangerously scarred and narrowed as--a rheumatic fever.
