Thursday, August 10, 1961 THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER McCullom Lake SUDDEN DEATH OF BETTY BAUMBECK STUNS VILLAGERS Eve Levesque Lovely, warm, vital, talented, and all the glowing phrases in the world wouldn't begin to describe the vibrant person that was Betty Baumbeck. Her untimely passing on Sunday literally stunned everyone who heard the news. The immediate reaction was "Oh no!" "Lisa" as she was so affec^ tionately called, had attended m«s at St. Mary's in the mining. It was about noon that she collapsed. The Crystal Lake rescue squad was summoned but their attempts to revive her failed. A loea'l physician pronounced the final verdict. Details and photo appear elsewhere in the Plaindealer. She and her beloved George had been visiting with their good friends of many years, Shirley and Len Jensen of Knollwood Drive, on Saturday night and Shirley states that they had never had such a good time. According to the report, the two couples were laughing and joking, and everything seemed so funny. The Baumbecks, who had just celebrated their twenty-third wedding anniversary on June 2Ef*were one of thp first families to make McCullom Lake their permanent home. They loved the country and thought it would make a perfect place to raise children and animals. As time passed, and our vill&ge expanded, they felt the need for more land so George could have the fa ••••.• that he had always cherished in his heart. It w^ywith dr>ep rein tance that they sold their lovely home on Park View arid rncvtd to Mason Hill road between McHenry and Crystal Lake about four years ago. Like Kin^: Midas and his gold, everyvl.-ir!£ Betty touched became lovelier because of her creative ability. And everyone who came in contacv with her felt her warmth for all nf mflfckind. She ju>t plain loed everybody aiul everything, in spite of much suffering and illness, her c\-cMV outlook never faltered or wavered. It would take a volume to express her many thoughtful deeds and gestures. There are no words to adequately express deepest pathy to George and ih? two handsome lads, George (Butch) ajjl Rick who have lost a most devoted partner and mother. Deepest sympathy also to Nancy Doolin and Mai ie Hojnacki who have lost their beloved sister. Clean BUI of Health For Local Beach A sample of the water was taken from the end of the children's pier and submitted to the dept. of health in Chicago. When the results were discussed at the Cullom-Knoll meeting on Tuesday, it was felt' that t he evidence was inconclusive. Through the efforts of Ed Hammerstein, Don P a r e n t i, Skeets Morris, and Jake Levesque, proper samples were taken and submitted to state approved Laboratory S-40 at the McHenry Medical Group. These samples showod the water to be safe for swimming at our beach and a sign to the effect was posted imr.eJiately. Don Parent!

After the bird was dead, research proved that it was a black-hooded night heron. But to this day the mystery remains as to where it came from and how it arrived ai its final destination. Does anyone have a theory? Behind The Wheel Again Nettie Liacus is overjoyed at being able to drive again.

Just about every youngster hereabouts <and some of them were pre-e-t-t-y old!) was given at least one ride around the village. Cruising The Great Lakes Lil Sawdo, daughter. Barbara, and Lil's sister-in-law, Mrs. THyra Sandberg, together with her daughter, Karen, have been enjoying a grand Michigan vacation.

Half of the world's people seem to be unhappy, because they do not have the things that make the other half unhappy. Page Eleven MOOSE LODGE Women of the Moose This month two new members were welcomed into the Women of the Moose.

Yet it holds more than the biggest conventional wagon. How? Perhaps this picture explains it. Ideally in a station wagon, you need maximum room and minimum length. The Volkswagen people have answered this with a taller car. (The entire top of the VW wagon is level. This gives it the shape of a box. There isn't a wasted inch in it.) This is why things that will not fit in any conventional wagon fit easily inside the VW wagon. An upright piano standing upright. A standard bridge table opened up. Eight adults with all their luggage. (Or, if you open the sufwooi^ o huge, old-fashioned wardrobe.) People are pleased that the VW wagon parks so easily. (If you have ever circled a shopping mart or commuters' station looking for a big enough space for your big wagon, you can appreciate this.) When you realize that the VW wagon is a good four feet shorter than the conventional wagon, you get the picture. You're "thinking tall." (While you are, why not come in and drive a new VW wagon. And find out for yourself why so many other people are "thinking tall," too.) McHenry County Import Motors, Inc. SALES and SERVICE 114 W. Rand Road Ph. EV 5-4100 Lakemoor - McHenry, 111. MfTHOKJZO) MftUft i N s that il>\ s The McHenry county chapter of the American Red Cross plans special training Classes as recommended by Civil Defense, in care of the sick and injured, mother and baby care, and first aid. National authorities urge one member of every famshould be trained in either fir ;t aid or care of the sick and injared. In many communities in this county, there are no resident doctors or registered nurses who would be available should disaster occur, and hospitals would be unable, it is acknowledged, to care for the entire county, hut traine'd persons in each home would be prepared to carry out doctor's orders and assist in mass care. Classes in all of the nursing courses will start in the county in October, and in first aid soon after Labor Day. Mrs. Betty Booth is a registered nurse and trained Red Cross instructor, and John Beckman. Jr., is the volunteer chairman of twenty trained certificated first aid instructors. "Organization groups, factories and individuals interested in such instruction should call the Red Cross office at Woodstock and register as classes are limited", states Mrs. Helen Still, the volunteer chairman of disaster nursing. "Plans will be made to service as manv towns I and cities as possible before i hp holidays, when transporta- ; tion often becomes a problem." I Care of the sick and injured ; is a fourteen hour course twice i a week for fiye classes. Mother and baby care, designed for ! both parents, is a ten-hour | course, twice a week and seVen ! classes in all. First aid stan* , dard course is ten hours, twice j a week for five weeks. The highest temperature recorded in one Maine weather bureau station is 106 degrees, while the high in one Florida station is 96 degrees. BUILDING MATERIALS FREE ESTIMATES ON . ..
