Thursday* June 16,1955 licCullom Lake News By Eve Levesqne The summer season is with us, even if the thermometer doesn't show it, and the gears have been •set in motion for the Fun Festi- . val. Due to the success of last year's affair, the July Jamboree will henceforth be known as the Fun Festival. In the past week, an opportunity too goad> to pass up was presented to the Ladies of the Lake in the way of rides, tents and c&rnival atmosphere, so the carnival will be staged for three days, July 15, 16 and 17. The pony rides will please the kiddies greatly. Friday, July 15, at 2 «.m. is the official opening. Free ntertainment will be offered throughout the affair. Miss McCullom Lake will be selected Saturday night after a parade through the subdivision. Registration is open for the wee ones and more contestants are needed. Mothers may call Mftrge Peterson^ at 5549-J-l any time during the day or evening. The age group is 4 to 6 years. Saturday night, July 16, the talents of Ernest Useman will be Utilized. Mr. Useman has graciously • consented to call square dancing from 8:30 p.m. to midnight. i More ladies are needed as workers in the booths and as ticket salesmen. Whether you belong to the Laidies of the Lake or not, all women are cordially invited to the beachhouse every /Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. and get in on the fun: This is a Worthy project for the purpose of supporting the community. We'll be looking for you Tuesday night. Cullom-Knoll Bear in mind that the Cullom- Knoll association will be meeting Sunday afternoon, June 26, at 2:30 p.m. at the beachhouse. Permanent and summer residents ^are most cordially invited. Several big projects are being planned and this, is one way you can share in the welfare of the community. Come to the meeting and speallc your mired. You don't have to wait until the meeting to join. The dues are small, the returns on your money are large. One dollar a month from all residents will go a long way toward paying for the improvements in the village which are being planned. Send your dues to Mrs. Betty Poledna or Mrs. Emma Pyritz, Rt. 4, McHenry. Against Great Odds v One of the happiest bits of "tjirfte-^oTrte attention last week. Young Kevin Michael Doran .came home to his family on Saturday from MicWael Reese 'hospit&l. The wee lad overcame almost insurmountable obstacles in his fight for life frpm the moment of his birth June 5 and is now doing fine, "rtie prayers of all of you who were concerned over his welfare did much to bring about his recovery. To say his parents, Gerry and Bob, are gratofiul is stating the case mildly. ff It will be a gratifying experience to watch this little fella grow up. Science scores again in the eternal struggle against death. Receives Great Honor Gert and Chester Helwig of Hickory drive are justifiably proud of their precocious young niece, Miss Jacqueline Helwig, 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Helwig of Fox Lake, 111. Jackie was the first prize winner in an essay contest sponsored by the V.F.W. of Lake county. The subject of her 500-word theme was "Flag of Freedom." On Tuesday, June .7, Miss Helwig read her paper over radio station WKRS, Waukegan. v World Travellers Mr. and Mra. George McOuat, Jr., enjoyed a first visit in four years from Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Gray of Honolulu. Mrs, Gray is Charlotte's sister. The Grays had just gone the wrong way around the world in order to view the graduation and marriage of their son, C. M. Gray, at, Annapolis. Chuck, being one of those swimmers from Hawaii, made All-American while at the Naval academy. Also, that lucky person is being stationed "at home" with the Air Force at Hickham field. Ernest Gray, of Hawaiian Dredging Co., was required in Hong Kong, New Zealand and other far away spots at the beginning of this trip, and they had to rush away from McCullom Lake, too, so that he may go back to Hong Kong. Mrs. Maurice LeBosquet, also of Honolulu, whom some of you may remember from her last visit here, has again turned up after making a three-month swing around the "mainland," seeing at least 160 relatives. Charlotte's mother, a young lady of 8C), likes to travel, but we hope she will stay for a while. The McOuats are envious of all these "trippers," but not too much so; they like it here. Game Called Due to inclement weather last Sunday, the old duffers' ball game was postponed until this Sunday, June 19, at 2:30 p.m. All men between the ages of 30 and 80 are requested to submit their names to Hugh McDonald. A big turn-out of players and spectators is expected. The offer of liniment and mustard plasters still stands, so worry about your aches and pains after the game. This contest we wouldn't miss! Little League » A junior Size Softball league will be started and Will be under the sponsorship of the "Itiwanis club of Wonder Lake, with "Sarge" Duttko as chairman. Male "small fry" between the ages of 8 and 13 are needed to fill the ranks. Be at McDonald's field Saturday morning at 10, ready to "play ball." This should help to keep the youngsters out of mischief all summer. Our Loss The young ladies are in tears over the departure of one of our "most eligible bachelors." Ray Deskis has temporarily taken up room amd> board in Waukegan while he is doing chores for IBTT. Have a bone-dry basement Buy it at . . . ALEXANDER LUMBER Co. Phone 1424 647 W. Main St. McHenry, HL Pretty as a Picture Miss Lynn Hammerstein looked every inch the charming hostess in her party frock last Tuesday, June 7, when she greeted her yaung guests for her fourth birthday party. Delores Diedrich and Karen Hay of McHenry and Rosemary and Michael Rogers and Harry and Allan . Larson from the Lake were participants in the games and refreshments. Colorfully decorated cdp cakes and ice cream were consumed in large quantities by the wee ones. Lynn was thrilled with her lovely gifts.

Linda and Sandy "kicked off" their vacation with a trip to grandma and grandpa while mommy and daddy were flying around. It Can't Be True But it is! Martha and Tom Sylthe have finally made arrangements to have their basement floor poured during the July 4 holidays. Tom has been by-passing this task for five or six years and finally ran out of excuses. We shall wait for the results. Pastel-Shower A lovely pastel shower was held for Mrs. Carol Page at McDonald's last Tuesday, June 7. The hostesses were Mrs. Fanny Freund and Mrs. Caroline Justen of McHenry.

Green Street PHONE 19 McHenry, I1L Along with the other wonders of chemicals it is now possible to control weeds in lakes and channels. When these chemicals are properly applied they are neither injurious to fish or humans. Throughout the years top soil has washed it's way into the lakes and streams making the water shallower And much more fertile. This and the fact that more and more people are using the waterways and unknowingly distribute weed seeds which have collected on their- boats and fishing equipment, etc., have caused a dangerous weed problem in many of our lakes. The value of a lake or channel can be enhanced and the recreational uses multiplied through the control of aquatic nuisances when these growths interfere with' the recreational uses or the appearance of the water. It is a wellknown fact that excessive amounts of submersed weeds and floating plants lead to over-population and stunting of certain species of fish. By controlling the vegetation, organic matter, that has been bound up in vegetation, is released for production of food or fish. Forage fish which have been sheltered by dense weed stands are exposed to predaceous game fish which consequently .make better growth. Control of over-abundant vegetation is essential for optimum fish production and to the maintenance of recreational assets from ther standpoint of fish production, overabundant weed stands may do more harm than good. From the stand point of safety, dense weeds present a hazard to swimmers and boating and may seriously slow down rescue work. Foreign matter often is held in weeds making the water unsightly and dangerous. Laurence E. Anderson of McHenry has been doing control work on aquatic nuisances ii\, this area for the past three years. At the present time Mr. Anderson is treating various locations on the Chain of Lakes. Other lakes treated either in part or the whole lake are: Island Lake, Sana Lake, Murphy Lake, Lily Lake, Matthews Lake and many smaller lakes from Aurora north. Anyone interested in having treating done or further information, please phone Laurence E. Anderson, McHenry 475-R or 1710. Adv.
