itage Twenty THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, March 22, 1962 Sunnyside Esiales TWO YOUNG LADIES OBSERVE BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARIES Joan Walczynski - EV. 5-8105 Guest of honor at the most recent birthday party was six year old Cathy Davis. Her guests included Gail McDonald, Laurie Radtke and Donnie Rose. Little Pam DeFrancisco was unable to attend due to her feeling a little under the weather. Those present played games, ate the usual cake, ice cream and soda and had a ball. Candy cups went along home with the guests. Debby Noah turned ten on March 4 and celebrated after school on March 5 when she invited some of her classmates to a party at her home. Guests included Karen Hettermann, Mary Jane Lakowske, Linda Kosher, Lynn Weber, sisters, Donna and Diane, and brother, David. They, too. enjoyed cake, ice cream, soda and candy baskets. After eating, games were played and they all left happy with their take-home prize. Like all mothers everywhere, Lucille and LaVerne were glad when it was over. Hospital Bound Today William Schweiger enters McHenry hospital in preparation for surgery to be performed tomorrow. Daughter, June Banker, tells me that he will be in the hospital approximately ten days.. Just knew all his friends would like to know his whereabouts for the next couple of weeks and I'll keep you posted in his progress. Sirk List The others on our sick list this week were Bernice Fry who had a dandy of a cold and Jimmy Fuqua and our Li'l Stan have been home with the chicken "pops". They both returned to school this week, leaving behind two grateful mothers, but not before passing the bug on. Ronnie Fuqua now has them and we're waiting for Ihe second case to pop at our house. ' Chet Banker is now home from Ihe hospital, we're glad to report, and getting better all the time. Keep it up, Chet. This sure has been a winter for sickness, but I'm told that >the Little League is already getting underway and once baseball starts, can spring be far behind? everyone is as happy as can be. Congratulations, folks. Name Selected Further report from the Maule residence, scene of the newly arrived baby boy, tells us that the name chosen is Timothy Dale..Tim is a darling little guy who sleeps and eats and is admired by brothers, Pat and Mike, and sister, Cheryle. Mother Charlotte is doing well, and Daddy Dale says that he and the children didn't have to eat one single meal out of cans, due to the help of those wonderful neighbors, Emma and Gunnar Johanson, and a grand mother-inl a w , L u l u K o l l b e r g , w h o dropped everything and cainea- running just as soon as Dale gave her the glad tidings. Sounds like Dale has a motherin- law as sweet as my own. Brownies Troop 150 has had two meetings since the last news about them was printed so here goes. On March 6 they had quite an affair. A fashion show and ^tea was held following the official b u s i n e s s m e e t i n g , c o m p l e t e with small sets tables and chairs and tdy dishes. The fashions ranged from a swimsuit to formal gowns and I'm told that the ladies had a lovely time. The cookie hostesses were Ronda Schultz and Mary Jo Kennebeck. Officers for the week were Kathy Pflug as president. Leonie Schneider as secretary', Doreen Patterson as treasurer. Mother helper was Betty Hettermann. A good deal was accomplished at the March 13 meetins. Attendance and dues were taken by the following officers of the week: Kathleen Brennan as president, Pam Boeger as secretary, Marie Karstens as treasurer. The girls then received all the literature for the coming cookie sale, day camp and their gift from their equipment agency in honor of Girl Scout Week, which was a change purse. Each girl also received her Brownie catalog. This was fallowed by a sound movie about Girl Scouting, titled "Wide. Wide World." Before partaking of their cookie treat, the girls learned a new g r a c e . C o o k i e h o s t e s s e s w e r e Karen Hettermann and Kathy Pflug, who brought cookies made from a Brownie cookie cutter and decorated accordingly. Ah, to be a little girl again. Mother helper was Loretta Kern. My Three Sorts That's what Gloria and Ernie VonOepen are saying these days. Since the twenty-second of February, that is, when Robert George entered this world at 6:38 p.m. at McHenry hospital weighing 6 lbs., 11 ozs. He was quite a sick little fellow in the beginning but he is just fine now and at home with brothers, Ernie and Marty, and Girl Scouts Troop 295 has changed its meeting night from Wednesday to Tuesday for the duration of the Lenten season. The meeting on the thirteenth was held at the Walczynski residence and again there was perfect attendance. After the business meeting, the girls were given the necessary things for the coming cookie sale and day camp and then Mrs. Catherine Dehn started the girls on their good grooming badge. Through the generosity of Alice Bieschke, Leader of Brownie Troop 150, our girls also enjoyed the colored movie Wide, Wide World. All those interested in the Troop will be happy to learn that Leader, Marge Barth, is out of the hospital and recuperating at home. I'm sure it was the get well cards that her girls made for her that did it. Cookie hostess was Mary Anderson and mothers present were Lois Anderson, Catherine Dehn and myself. The meeting was closed with the good night circle and hand squeeze. Reminder Last week we told of the "Dead End" street signs placed on Grandview, Indian Ridge and Oakleaf. I'm told that in spite of this a car-was stalled, overnight in front of the Fischer residence. Fortunately, they were able to get out of their drive and get to work the next morning but would have been unable to back into their drive that night if the car had not been removed. Common courtesy would call for a knock on the door telling them about the car being stalled and plans for removal of same. The golden rule is still the best way to take care of things. Happy Occasions Today marks a special day for Laird Kayler, who adds another year, and young Nancy- Brink, who has become a 'teenager. Oh, joy! On the twentyfifth of March, Johanna Matuszak celebrates; and on the twenty-sixth, Tony Senkerik, Karen Schneider and Harvey Garber all have birthdays. Congratulations! Odd though it seems, there are no juvenile birthdays to report this week. Our sincere best wishes to that fine couple, Emma and Gunnar Johanson, who celebrate 41 years of wedded bliss on March 25. Then there's Stan and I on the' twentyseventh and it's a wonder the poor guy has survived this long with me. Hope he can stand me another umpteen years, 'cause what would I do without him. 'Bye Now Well, folks, that's about it for this week. Sorry I didn't keep my promise about resuming the visits this week, but it got a little too late to call. Shall try and do better. Keep calling and I'll keep typing and together we'll have the best column ever. . See you next week. Holiday Hills GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ARE ON SALE NOW Inez Young !

Week after week carefully tabulated figures published in "Automotive Market Reports'* show that Chevrolet trucks are worth more in resale value. 2. A more desirable product for resale So if used Chevrolet trucks con- If you were a professional used truck buyer, why would you pay more for one make than another? There may be several reasons, but among them would be: 1. A greater demand for the product over the country, their quality features pay off for you not only as long as you own them but also when you are ready to trade them--double-wall cabs, doors and side panels, roof insulation, select wood floors, reliable and economical engines, real rugged tailgates, a suspension system that helps prolong truck life. • See your Chevrolet dealer for a quality '62 Chevrolet Jobmaster truck. '"Automotive Market Reports" is a weekly authoritative wholesale publication which reports the average prices paid for used trucks and cars by professional buyers at auctions all over the U.S. Any New Cub Scouts Cubmaster Jack Connell is looking for 7 year old boys that will soon be turning 8. If you have one of those at your house, give Jack a call at 385- 3756. If Jack knows ahead of time approximately how many boys he'll have starting up in the fall he can be prepared with enough den mothers to handle all of them, otherwise some beys may have to be turned down, and that's the last thing Jack or anyone would want.
