Thursday. July 7, 1955 • * THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Rlai 4 McCullom Lake News By Eve Levtsqno By Yardstick For !Bve Levesque Greetings Folks! Should you find the presentation 'of this wefek's news a bit different, please have patience and don't cancel your subscription, for Eve will be back on the mound pitching again next week. Village Board Meeting The welfare of the residents of the village of McCullom Lake , u was the chief concern of the ' board members, at last Monday evening's meeting. It is difficult for the" average individual to realize what a tremendous task it is to formulate a government "that will function in the best interest of the people. To date, ordinances have been passed pertaining to zoning, liquor control and public safety. Since the law prescribes that copies of these ordinances must be posted for prolonged periods of time, action on th? many complaints being filed by the property owners must be deferred until such time as they be- 0f come law. Since law-making is a new experience for many of the board members, the capable assistance given by Counselor Karl Koch so far has proven invaluable, to give the village of McCullom Lake a government for the people and by the people. Ladies of the Lake Meet Mesdames Carrie Sesko, Martha Lorch and Betty Murray acted as hostesses at last Tues- } day evening's meeting held at the beach house by the Ladies of the Lake. The enthusiasm with which these gals tackle the problems ' p- that confront them in planning the coming Fun .Festival is contagious. Mrs. Marge Peterson reports that the following have been entered as contestants for the Miss McCullom Lake title: Lynne Hammerstein, Darlene Palis, Sally Ann Hocin, Barbara Kay DeMar, Bonnie Burg, Deborah Meyers, Kathie Doran, Janet Hansen, Louise Matthesius, Jonan Furlong, Judy and Carol Michaels, Mario Peterson, Nancy Burg, Carol Aalto and Lynne Schultz. All little darlings from 4 to 7 years of age are eligible to enter and registration will continue M until July 9. They Just Don't (Make Them Any Better Ask any youngster in the community who Uunt Mattie is, and he will glajHy lead you to the little white cottage at the corner of Fountain Lan^ and Hickory Drive, where for the past two years any child wa% a welcome guest. • How Aunt Mattie manages to keep those platters filled with luscious goodies which the youngsters enjoy so much, we'll never know. Any hesitancy on the part .of a newcomer is dispelled by the following legend posted on the panel of the kitchen door, "Through these doors pass the finest children in the world." No one loves children more or understands them better than Aunt Mattie and what better way is there to reach their hearts . than • through their stomachs ? Looking into Aunt Mattie's early childhood, we would learn that she was orphaned at the age of 3, and never did enjoy the love and affection a child needs. At the age of 10 she had to earn her keep by working in a kitchen. Is it any wonder that Aunt Mattie knows what a piece of chocolate covered cake means to a hungry youngster? Blue Booties Donald and Josephine West welcomed a new addition to their family group. Little Michael Ray weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce made his appearance on the scene last Monday at St. Francis hospital in Evanston. Kevin Michael was the name Bob and Gerry Doran picked for their new-born. The child was christened at St. Patrick's church. Mrs. Doris Wetzel acted as godmother and John T. Hicks was godfather. McCullom Lake Wildcats vs. 8t. Pat's* Last Friday's game between the McCullom Lake Wildcats and the St. Pat's team was a thrilling one. • Buddy Reid did his best on the mound, with Angelo Brasser on the receiving end but their best was just not good enough. St. Pat's came out on top with a score of 4 to 3. Billy Cable <lid fine work in right field for the Wildcats. Vacationing Mr. and Mrs. Willard Schultz, their daughter, Lynne, and niece, Patty Tamburino, of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schultz and children of River Grove returned Saturday after enjoying their vacation at Butternut, Wis. ! . Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Olsen returned home last Friday after attending the Stavanger Laget convention at Forest City, Iowa. Needless to say that Pa and Ma renewed many old friendships during their two weeks' stay. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Passel and daughters, Marlene and Marylin, returned home after enjoying a week's visit with friends in Chicago. IRequiescat in Pace The sudden passing of George Wolf last Monday brought sorrow to his many friends in our community. Mr. Wolf spent most of his •time at his home on Orchard Drive, occasionally taking a trip to his home in Chicago. His death was attributed to a heart , attack. Burial was last Friday at the Acacia cemetery. Congratulations To Mrs. Eleanore Reid, who will be a little over 21 on July 10. Frank Rourke on the twentyeighth anniversary of his natal day June 28. . V *Dm STATE ECONOMIST TAKES LOOK At FARM FUTURE Here's the way farm economist L. J. Norton sizes up the economic future of" agriculture over the next ten years. Nprton ";$s head of the department of iigttculture economics at thp i University of Illinois College Agriculture. V" "Over the next ten ye&rs we may expect at least one recession, perhaps more severe thin the 1949-50 and 1953-54 varieties, but nothing comparable to that of the 1930's. "Farm prices can be expected to average within the range Of 235 to 275 percent of the 1910- 14 average, or slightly higher than at present. Costs Will continue high. The parity ratio will range between 80 and 100 and perhaps average 90. The income position of agriculture will not be as favorable as it was during 1947-48 or during 1951^.-52. "There will be steady pressure on farmers and landowners for greater efficiency. Some marginal lands will be abandoned, and many marginal farmers will find it rough going. "It will be a period when credit can be safely extended on an intelligent, conservative basis to operating and beginning farmers who have access to an adequate amount of productive land. Loans to small farmers and poor managers will be sticky.- Hi'gher living costs will absorb much of the net income of such operators and leave little for capital accumulation or debt reduction." DR.

"RADIO DISPATCHED" PHONE 920 MENTAL ILLNESS A sharp increase in admissions to state mental hospitals during the first five months of this year brought the number of inmates to 48,157 as of June 1; This showing is contained in a report by Dr. Otto L. Bettag, director of the Department of Public Welfare. Almost half (49.4 per cent) of all patients in Illinois mental hospitals are suffering from schizophrenia, or "split personality," according to his report. Women patients with this type of mental illness outnumber men by about 6 percent. The significance of these figures to the welfare department's planning, Dr! Bettag pointed out, is that schizophrenic sufferers are "long stay" ' patients. They enter hospitals at youthful ages and have a low death rate. Advances have been made la the treatment of this type of fflentdj illness, he said, but the percent^ age of releases is still snpaO* NEW SECRETARY IfteC Major Karin Lindfberg of thp Salvation Army began her nevtjf duties as women's social service secretary for the central terrf?,, *• tory this week.
