Grateful Family . Dear Neighbors of McCullom Lake: Your kindness and generosity has given us so much comfort. Though we grieve for Jimmy, we shall always be happy that we had the opportunity to know you. Because you extended yourselves so much when we needed you most, we feel we want to remain and be a part of the community. We searched for a cottage at various lakes for a long time and felt there was a special beauty at McCullom Lake. It wasn't just the beauty that meets the eye in appraising it; we could not define it at the time but now we know what attracted us. It was the warmth and neighborliness of the people themselves. fJimmy spent four of the happiest days of his life at McCullom Lake and we would like to have our three remaining children continue to do' so. The total sum of donations amounted to $40 and wer are giving it to Cub Scout Pack 3&13. They will purchase a large drum j with the funds as Jimmy was a i member of the pack drum and ' bugle corps. Thank you so much and we thanik God for such wonderful people. Sincerely. Lowell and Stelia Maxson A Cordial Welcome Is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Ivar Larsen and sons, Clarence, Lawrence and Norman.

Deserved it, too. My fatherin- law said we were due for bad weather."Birds are flying low," he reported. "That means a storm.** I started to josh with the old gentleman about being superstitious. Then my nephew Jim, on vacation from college, pipes up. "Grandad's right," he says. "At least, that's what they say" at school," Jim goes on. "The heavy air you get before a storm forces insects down low --sv highflying birds have to swoop along the ground if they \*ant to eat." From where I sit, there's probably sound reasoning back of most old sayings ... back of anything people have learned to believe in.

JONES G E N E R A l MANAGER /els the 4'Door Riviera. the stunning new hit of America's Hardtops WHEN Buick introduced this nation's first hardtop--the Riviera--folks went for it, and fast. They liked the Convertible look of this 2-door beauty--long, low and rakish. They liked the added security of the steel roof overhead. And they certainly liked the absence of center posts in the side window areas -- which gave a completely unbroken view left and right. People liked it all so well that, over the past six years, they made the Riviera the biggest-selling hardtop in the world, bar none. And it still is. N ow Buick has come up with another great advance in hardtops -- the 4-Door Riviera--and it's a sensational hit. It has everything the original 2-Door Riviera has--plus separate doors for rear-seat passengers, and a whale of a lot more room for them. Rock-solid half-pillars on either side are what latch the front doors and hinge the rear ones. So there's no center post above the door line--and a completely open sweep of view to both sides. And the roominess provided by this gorgeous new hardtop is really something-- over 9 inches more hiproom and 5 inches more legroom in the rear. Wh y don't you come see this brandnew kind of automobile that's heading up the parade of the hottest-selling line of Buicks in history? That way you can also try Buick comfort, Buick power, Buick ride and handling and roadability -- plus the electrifying action of Buick's Variable Pitch Dynaflow.* Do it this week--tomorrow would be fine --and you'll see what record volume really means in the way ot record-high trade-in deals. * Variable Pitib Dyndflow is the only Dynaftow Buick builds today. It is standard, on ROAD MASTER, optional at mode.'! extra iust on other Series. JVOtVf" f tn fti&Wo&yf fn; tj Come fa and see/ R. I. OVERTON MOTOR SALES 403 FRONT STREET PHONE 6 McHENRY# ILLINOIS
