Rescue Squad Calls Each week., as I write up these calls the thought crimes to mind of> what was done before this squad came into being. Each one of us hopes and prays we never call upon them for help but what a comforting thought to know they are around in case the need should arise. Our squad members were quite busy this past week answering calls. Last Wednesday evening a two car collision took place on Riverside Drive. One occupant was taken in the squad ambulance to the McHenry hospital for treatment and was later released. ' On Friday, the squad was summoned to Bayview Lane where a. boat passenger „had fallen into the lake. He was taken to the hospital in the squad ambulance. Friday evening another call came in that took the squad to Chaprel Hill where an apparent heart attack- occurred. The victim was removed to the hospital by ambulance. Late Sunday evening the squad members were called to a home on Route 31 south of McHenry where a man suffered a fatal heart attack.

More Girl Scout News Kathy Barth reports to me that at last week's meeting of troop 195, the girls further discussed what was needed for their overnight, camping. Most of the girls had never seen a sleeping bag so Melinda Long brought one to. the meeting for them to see. On Tuesday, May 15, this troop put on a skit for the enjoyment of the Johnsburg P.T.A. members. This is to show their appreciation for the P.T.A.'s sponsorship. Candy Kobus was cookie hostess. Eleven girls were in attendance at this meeting along with Mesdames Dehn, Palmer, Patterson and Barth. Remember the tulips that this troop planted and how beautifully they were growing --well things are beginning to change. It seems like the Girl Scouts are not the only ones who were admiring them. A little gray rabbit has a "sweet tooth" and he has been snipping the flowers off from time to time. How about that! .'
