ttfcuiwtoy, July'H. 1885 IHE MCRENRY PLAINDEALER J ¥8 JfcgefHlow McCullom Lake News By Eve Levesque Well -- here we go. Tomorrow at 2 p.m. the biggest extravaganza ever staged in our community will be formally "open for business." All roads will lead to McCullom Lake. The affair will run every day and evening until Sunday. The Ladies of the Lake have been at work fo^ weeks planning, buying and preparing for the many facets of this venture with one thought in mind -- your pleasure., The Fun Festival is being publicized far a^id wide and should bring people numbering in the thousands to our village. Here ip a rundown on a few of the - many features being offered. j Friday night there will be public dancing with an orchestra supplying the music. On Saturday night, Miss McCullom t Lake will be selected from among nineteen young candidates in the 4-7 age bracket. The crowning of the new queen will be done by Miss Karen McKim, last year's reigning royal, miss. Square dancing will follow the queen contest and will be conducted by Ernest Useman of McHenry. One of the greatest features of the festival will be the bazaar and bake sale. ' Handiwork of all kinds will be displayed. The small fry can don their Davy Crockett, cowboy and cowgirl regalia and make their dreams come true. Live ponies will become "bucking bronchos" in their young minds. The ponies will be available Saturday and Sunday. Not the least of the temptations will be rides and games of skill for the young and the young at heart! Make, your plans to "come early and stay late" at the Fun Festival starting tomorrow, July 15, at the beach. Village Board At a recent meeting, Dave Hansen and Robert Doran were sworn in officially as patrolmen of the McCullom Lake police department by Victor Howe, police magistrate. The num'ber now totals four, with Paul Struck as chief of police. The department will become a functioning body effective as of this writing. The village board is still meeting every week to plan and pass on the many ordinances confronting them. Orchids To Paul Struck for the witty and chatty column he put out for your reporter last week. It was an exhilarating feeling to bo able to take off, complete with husband and kiddies, for the "wild" regions of Wisconsin and know that you would still have the news. Thanks for a swell \ job well done, Paul! We Levesques had a fabulous time on Scattering Rice Lake near Eagle River. Confidentially, we didn't find a single grain of the stuff. The pine woods were a treat and though we tried to land a muskie or two, the best I could do was snag my line on submerged stumps! Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lang of Belvidere, 111., owned the cabin which we occupied and they were a contributing factor to our good time. Scouting Indians That's what Miss Barbara Lorch is doing when she isn't swirhming or out in the boat with grandpa. The lucky lady is spending a few weeks with her grandparents, Mr .and Mrs. John Dorn of Chicago, at their summer resort on Eagle Lake near Eagle River, Wis. Barbara and Chryssie and J. R. Levesque spent an afternoon together on Eagle Lake. Holiday Vacationers Among the many folks that journeyed far for the Fourth of July were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Osterby and children and Erling Olsen. These hardy souls joined the Lee Sawdo family in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., at their summer home. Lil and Lee broke in their beautiful new car on the trip. Shutout Game The McCullom Lake Wildcats played a hot game on a hot night, Friday, July 8. In spite of the heat, our lads clobbered Lakemoor with a score of 12-0. Don Hayes, future candidate for baseball's Hall of Fame, pitched a one-hit shutout game. "Sonny" Hocin walked around the bases on a homer and Tommy Olsen and Frank Frenzenza, a summer resident, came through with doubles. The young fellows will demonstrate their skill tomorrow night, Friday, July 15, at 7 p.m. against Wonder Lake at Wonder Lake. We're rooting for you, boys. More Softball The old duffers' ball team didn't fare so well last Sunday. They are stilj staggering under the beating they took to the score of 24-4. However, Zane Grey (yep, that's his name) of Elgin claims the distinction of being the losing pitcher. Maybe he should go back to writing western novels! The Absolute End Now the gals have taken it up -- softball, we mean. Too many calories in the cool summer salads so they plan to get out and run 'em off. It's a cinch they can't be any worse than the men. Next Tuesday, July 19, 7 p.m. is the date and time of the first practice. Anyone interested is welcome to turn out. So far the line-up includes Dorie Brennan, captain; Barbara, Marie and Lucie Lawrence, Theresa Cunningham, Jean McDonald, Phyllis Arnold, Florence ZarndL, Irene Veugler and this reporter. The results remain to be seen. Another Victory Was scored by the Whitey- VFW team on Sunday when they chalked, up a 24-11 victory against "Snowball" Perske's team from Chicago. Don Lorch deserves credit for his excellent pitching and Bob Doran is still bragging about getting three hits for four times at bat. Pre-e-e-tty good! Young Travellers Marna and Mike Watkins, former residents of the community, were transported here from their home in Goshen, Ind., by relatives passing through. The youngsters are spending a week with Cynthia and Johnny Rourke and will no doubt have gobs of fun renewing old friendships. ' Pa Olsen is catching up with his "young" wife. He'll be blowt" ing out 72 candles on Wednes day, July 20. That grand guy, Clayt Nelson, was 68 years young on Monday, iuly 11. Greetings to Carl Harth, wh became a ripe old 7 on July 1. Glad to be back, see you next week.

'1' •}' i|» «|n|i Health Talks 1 Multiple Sclerosis The formation of hard, patchy srars in the central nervous system of the body characterizes a disease known as multiple sclerosis. Why they form is n°t known, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society reports in Health Talk While accurate statistics a ip not yet available, the disc asp is widely prevalent and is believed to,cripple twice as many persons as does infantile paralysis. Multiple sclerosis means hardeno i spots occurring in many plaeos. The disease does.not seem to localize, but is likely to be manifest in any part of the body resulting in interference with function of nerve tissue, that is, difficulty in vision, in gait, in movement, and speech. Multiple sclerosis is one of the most baffling and devastating diseases in existence. Characteristic early symptoms, depending on nerve tissue damaged, are inflammation of the optic nerve with blurred vision and partial blindness, and weakness or numbness of arms and legs. Other characteristics are involuntary or uncontrollable movements of the eyeball, tremors in the arms or hands, disturbed speech, bladder disturbances and general Weakness. Multiple sclerosis seems to occur most frequently in persons between twenty and forty years of age and is apparently associated with a severe infection, extreme emotional tension, marked fatigue and, occasionally, with pregnancy. Poor nutrition, chilling, respiratory infections such as the common cold, and minor injuries causing damage to nerve tissue are other factors identified with this strange disease. The cause of multiple sclerosis is not known. One of the theories concerning this challenging medical mystery is that the blood of the victim clots - too easily, thus impeding the circulation of the blood through the veins. Investigators working. on the problem found that a large proportion of patients with multiple sclerosis had more fibrinogen in their blood than normal persons. Fibrinogen is a protein which forms the essential portion of blood clots. - If that theory, is proved true, it would account' for the num<sro^S blood clots in veins of the brain and spinal cord which presumably might bring on the disease. Since loss of muscular control is the factof. that reduces victims of multiple sclerosis to helplessness, special exercises to reeducate muscles and restore voluntary . function are essential. Because of its misleading, recurrent naUw^e,- prolonged rest is advised fdPN. ppients with multiple sclerosis. V?The victim may seem greatly j^itoved for a long period;! ofllr'to lapse again into the "helpless, nervous state characterizing the disease. If the damage to nerve tissue progresses, the passage of nerve impulses may be prevented complete- . lv, which means paralysis of the part involved. In acute cases, the persons may die; others are permanently crippled.
