DON'S EASTER SPECIAL Car Wash -- $1.50 With 10 Gals. Gasoline FRIDAY & SATURDAY ONLY! GAS - OIL TIRE REPAIR PHONE 9764 COMPLETE SERVICE HOURS 7 A.M. - 9 P.M. for the Red Cross drive, according to Mrs. Robert Lunak. Subdivisions as yet not contacted are Wonder Woods, White Oaks Bay, Look Out Point No. 2, and Hickory Falls No. 3. Volunteers to handle these areas would be appreciated. - The quota or $1,000 for Wonder Lake and Ringwood has been only half realized with many subdivisions not yet finished with their solicitations. Funds for water safety classes this summer are, strictly budgeted, and the beach areas in the county which do not meet their quotas will not have swimming classes set up. The good work that has been done by those subdivisions participating in the fund drive will not be adequate to insure water safety classes, if some subdivisions are not canvassed at all. Water safety for our children is a community concern, and is only one of the benefits derived from the Red Cross by the people living in Wonder Lake. • Leckiqan-Kwsch Nuptials Mrs. Esther Leckman and William Kusch were united in marriage Friday, March 13, in a simple ceremony performed by the Rev.
