Thursday, July 21,1955 THE McHENfiY PLAINDEALER ??*' - t f< ' :> >VJ-i<*m' '-'r McCullom Lake News By Eve Levesque £ . We Did It! The second annual Fun Festival is over tout the after-effects are still being felt. From every angle, it was a great success. Several "thousand people took part in every phase and the final results are mighty satisfying. It would be an impossible task * to name all the wonderful people who gave so freely of their time and energy to put this* across. So may we say a great big "thanks" to all the workers, big and little, young and old, who worked so hard for the common cause. .< The big moment of the threeday affair was the crowning of ^ Miss McCullom Lake Saturday night. Miss Dawn Parenti is the reigning queen and her crown was put in place by last year's queen, Karen McKim. Kathy Doran placed second and Debbie Meyer was third. We wish to thank Miss Adele Froehlich and Miss Judy Freund for their impartial and fair judging. "Picking a winner from all those little beauties was a mighty hard job. Mrs. Marge Peterson did a magnificent job of in- * structing the young ladies how to walk, pose and line-up. There is no doubt, she had her heart in this project. !• Thanks to our hard working police force, composed of Paul Struck, Bob Doran, Dave Hansen and Tony Hocin,' everything was carried out in an orderly manner from parking cars to the general conduct of the public. To Mrs. Ruth Smith goes credit for the planning and carrying out of all the working details. It was a pleasure and a1 privilege to be associated with the Fun Festival. Hospitalized Mrs. Viola Hands was taken to Memorial hospital in Woodstock Tuesday, July 12, for x-rays and observation. We trust that she p will be home again shortly and feeling much better. "Future President At least that's what Gladys and Merv Schmitt have planned for their new son. Robert Jbhn gave his first lusty squall Wednesday, July 13, at Memorial hospital, announcing his arrival. Hardly undernourished, he weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. Last Sunday he 'came home to become acquainted with brother Michael and- sister Kathy. Gathering of the Clan Gene Frost was really cele- ^ brating last weekend. For the first time In "eleven years,~he and his two brothers were reunited. Ray Frost, a civilian flight instructor, flew up from Tallahassee, Fla., and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Frost of Chicago all met at the home of Lorraine and Gene. The happy parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Frost of Wonder Lake, shared in the festivities. Ed Zak of Chicago was an innocent bystander to the whole affair. Growing Up At least that's how Linda Pasaalaqua feels. Several of her little friends joined her on Friday for her eighth birthday party for a barbecue feast in the back yard. Miss Nancy Mandel, her cousin from Chicago, who has >4^ been visiting, got in on the fun. Bearing'gifts and singing happy birthday Were sister Sandy, Diane and Berniece Bjork, Marilyn and Marlene Passal, Lynne Schultzand Chryssie and JR Levesque. Trying For First At the rate they're playing, the McCullom Lake Wildcats will make the grade. The young lads trounced Wonder Lake by a rousing score of 15-4 Friday night at' Wonder Lake. Donnie Hayes only allowed the losers four hits. Frank Frenzenza, Sonny Hocin and Ronnie Creutz came , through with doubles and the boys manipulated three double plays. When they take on St. Pat's we hope the "Cats" will take over first place. No Place Like Home Master Derek Egerstaffer will have to become acquainted with his family all over again. He recently returned home from spending four months with his aunt and uncle in Neshkoro, Wis. He passed his sixth milestone .May 27 during his "vacation." On his return, Derek brought along cousins Kathleen, Sharon and Johnny Jones to visit with the Egerstaffers. Date With The Girls That's what everyone has this Sunday. The gals will be batting that ball around at McDonald's field, with the game starting at 2:30 p.m. Maybe we can teach the men a thing or two. Disa and Data Wonder who is causing the gleam in Paul Struck's eye these days ? Jerry and Bob Doran wish to offer congratulations to Fred Wetzel but they aren't saying why! Mrs. Sally Andersen and granddaughter, Span Temple, of Chicage enjoyed a hectic weekend with Ma and Pa Olsen. Sally did her bit to add to the success of our festival. Dorie Brennan is kicking up her heels for the sudden increase in her "mad" money. Couldn't be that Bill increased her allowance? Ask her about it! Mr. and Mrs. Barney Graf and Mr. and Mrs. George -Nugent and children of McHenry swelled the attendance at the home of Marge and Ed Stacknick over the weekend. Beverly and Frank Rourke have them coming and going. Mferna and Mike Watkins left for home on Saturday and a few hours later their house was filled to capacity by the arrival of Bev*s brother and family,~ Mr. and Mrs. Bill Rimell, and her dad, John Rimell, of Adrian, Mich. Naturally they will be conducted on a tour of the future living quarters of the Rourkes, now under construction in McHenry. Patty Tamburino of Chicago has been spending a week with Aunt Theresa and Uncle Will Schultz. She was on hand to applaud for Lynne in the wee queen contest. Sympathy for Maxsons The letter which follows, written by Deanne Enslow, 13-yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack R. Enslow, expresses so beautifully and with childlike sincerity the thoughts and feelings of all of us concerning the tragic drowning of Jimmy Maxson, July 12. "To Mrs. J&ftgcson: - - "The people of McCullom Lake all know of your -hard luck, and you have all of our deepest sympathy. Everyone was praying for Jimniy. And really, the prayers were ' answered. Because Jimmy got the highest medal ever awarded, going to heaven with God. And he really isn't dead. You can still talk to him in your prayers. Ancr Jimmy can hear every word you say and he can talk to you. There was a reason for Jimmy's drowning. God wanted him upstairs with Him. He thought Jimmy was so good and pure, He wanted his company, And, Mrs. Maxson, while the doctor and everyone was trying to pull Jimmy through, he really was still alive. He could hear every word that you said and all the people. And he knows that you love him and he loves you. So just keep praying for him and loving him, which we all know you will have no trouble doing, and he will keep pfaying for you and loving you. And one day, Mrs. Maxson, you will see Jimmy again." "Sugar and Spice" And everything nice, and that's what little girls are made of." Dorene Georgette Vycital daintily appeared on the scene at Memorial hospital, Woodstock, Monday. July 18, tipping the scales at 8 lbs. 4 oz. On hand to greet her were mother, Henrietta, and proud daddy, Harold. Dorene will have lots of company at home with brothers John and Donnie, and sisters, Elaine and Lorene, who is a scant 1VS. Congratulations to this nice family.

CAR PENT! £R Secretary of State A recent survey revealed that three out of 100 drivers in fatal accidents were passing improperly at the time of the accident. Two out of 100 drivers were guilty of this violation in urban areas. The survey shows that in rural areas the number was four out of 100. Before passing another vehicle be sure that you observe the signs along the highways. In many areas, k too, a single yellow line or stripe on your side of the center line is used to indicate no passing zones. These will be found on hills, curves or at other hazardous locations. Do not cross these lines to pass another vehicle. (Sec. 68, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.) Where there are no such markings to aid you, use common sense before passing another vehicle. One of the most dangerous Illegal practices of the road--and all such practices are dangerous--is to pass another vehicle on the right hand side. (Sec. 54, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.) Such maneuvers only lead to disaster. A copy of the completely new "Rules of the Road", booklet will be sent to you free upon request. Write to CHARLES F.

And if you're looki n g for a good card game to play, there's one especially made for travelers. It's called Gin Rummy. Those who remember back before Canasta may recall the impact with which Gin Rummy hit the country in the early 1940's. Despite its spectacular emergence just before World War II, the game is relatively old. Gin Rummy (then . simply called Gin) was conceived in 1909 by Elwood T. Baker of Brooklyn, New Vork, a business man who also taught Whist. The game was given its name by Baker's son, who recognized the game as a variation of old-fashioned Knock Rummy, or "Rum" as it was called for short. Gin Rummy enjoyed some p o p u larity around 1927 but failed to catch an in a ,big way and slipped into a dormant stage during the Thirties. Then, just before World War II, Gin Rummy was suddenly discovered by the motion-picture colony and the radio world. Together they lifted it out of obscurity and planted it practioally overnight iri the forefront of popular card games. As for the game itself.- Gin Rummy has several, features which distinguish it from most kinds of rummy: it is quicker, the scoring is easy, and the tide of battle can change from hand to hand. The object of Gin is to arrange your cards into "sets" and sequences by drawing and discarding. A set is three or four of a kind: four Jacks, four sevens, etc. A sequence is three or more cards in the same suit in numerical order. However, you keep all the combinations in your hand until you or your opponent decides to "knock." In order to knock, the unmatched oards in your hand--that is, those that don't fit into sets or sequences-- must total not more than 10 points. In counting points, face cards all count 10 and Aces only one. The balance of the cards count their face value. Jokers, of course, aren't usedi A player scores a "Gin" when he knocks without any remaining points and receives a 20-point bonus plus the difference •between the two scores. In this case, the player who knocks wins the hand and the bonus even if his opponent al&o ends up with no remaining points. If you would like a free copy of the official rules for playing Gin Rummy, including those versions for play by groups of three and four, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Gin Rummy, c/o Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N.

Our losses by accident would educate mahy students. Illinois Education Association SHOP AT HOME FOSTER Some pf the most popular, songs of all times are about the. South because southern dialect ismelodious and smooth. Yet the well-known compositions of Stephen Foster were written to th^,. North a century ago toy a mart': who was born in Pittsburgh an<fp . died in New York. He took onlyfe a couple of short trips south/4 but produced Old Kentucky* Home, Swanee River (Old Folks'* At Home), Way Down South*; Oh Susanna, and Massa's in thefev ' Cold, Cold Ground. An earlyw ' boyhood impression gave hin^ v. A many useful ideas when his iam^| ily's mulatto servant ' girl toolcfe# him to a Negro church. The best^rf market for songs then was the,, ^ minstrel shows that played in<i':;;: New York and travelled aroundPt: the country. Foster wove sentiment and sympathy into these southern melodies and touched the heart of the youthful nation, just reacting from rough frontier pioneering. He died at thirtyeight in the charity ward of Bellevrie hospital. r . )ll!|lllllllllllllillltl||lll|llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll||l||||||||||||||||||ll|||||||||ilirt|i|il|||||||||||||!l|l||ll|:i|l|lllllllllll It Pays to Advertise In The McHenry Plaindealei iiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHii GAS PUMP THOUGHTS By: Ed Guettler Many of our customers at GUETTLER'S CITIES SERVICE axe proud and happy owners of late model cars. And rightly so. But we advise that if your're going to be a two car owner, shop around and get something old, say around a 1918 to 1925 model. Those had advantages, too, and still do, for a second car in the family. For example: You'll never get stuck in 10 or 12 inches of mud. and snowdrifts are no problem for the big wheels. There is no chromium to rust and you'll be surprised how far away the next driver will stay in fear of dents. There's plenty of fresh air. too, in the old models at no extra cost, and all the visibility you want. And best of all, your wife won't have no trouble finding it when she parks it on a crowded parking lot.
