The wives of the members are invited for the sweet corn ripast that is to follow the outdoor meeting. Members are reminded to bring their mowers down Saturday morning to have the ball field in good shape' for the evening game. ^(Keep this under your hats, Dm I hear that the S.S.A.C. has cornered the charcoal market for their steak cookout on Sept. 8.) Over The Bridge (Table) London bridge may have fallen down, but the Shores' bridge is still standing strong. Bridge tournaments, foursomes, luncheons and so on • 'Ave really caught on here in tne Shores. Every week I hear so many things concerning the bridge world. Never until recently did I realize just how important and popular this sport has become. Last week St. Paul's Episcopal church in McHenry held a bridge luncheon which turned out to be quite successful. Daisy Smith was the chairman charge of the event and Gladys Korner helped on the committee. The Shores was very well represented by thirteen of its ladies. In this group were; Mildred Snively, Virginia Verstege, Helen Smith, Loretta Ramage. Elian Duncan, Terry Coates, Irene Middlecauff, Bernice MacCallum, Leone Wagner, Helen Jacek and Anna %nnert. Those who won prizes included Loretta Ramage, Anna Tennert and Leone Wagner. Man Of Leisure As of Aug. 1, Frank Jacek officially retired from the Western Electric Company where he worked for a little over 37 years. For 25 of those years he was a supervisor. f. When his retirement was anounced to the company he was showered with gifts and honored at three separate parties, one by the company and two by departments he worked with. He received some wonderful fishing equipment, an outboard motor, and a delightful book entitled "This Is Your Life, Frank Jacek." This was made ^p by his secretary and contains events from his life in cartoon form. Now that he is retired Frank will be eligible to belong to the Pioneers Club which is open to all employees of Western Electric who have worked for the company for 21 years or are pensioners. It is a social organization which sponsors dances, parties, trips, etc. w Community Dance Reports indicate that friends and relatives have increased their interest in our Sept. community dance at the VFW. Beach Clean Up Beginning with this issue I will list the names of those men who are assigned the coming week's clean up at the #beach. It has been some time since the clean up committees were formed and it's quite possible that some of us have forgotten all about it. This weeks c o m m i t t e e i n c l u d e s , Ken Schopp,, Art Cicchini, Stuart Rode, Warren Weber and Sam Santilli. Flight To Rockford Sam Winters and his two boys, Sandy and David, flew to Rockford last week in the Winters' plane. They were attending the experimental aircraft meet which has been held in Rockford for the last couple of years. This is a five day affair with several hundred handmade, one-of-a-kind planes in attendance. As Sandy and David both appreciate their father's love of planes, they all truly enjoyed themselves. Beach Party And Picnic Louise Winters and Nancy Ewald and their children had great fun at the McHenry Methodist church beach party and picnic last week. The party was held at McCullom Lake and the girls .said: there were fifteen women and forty-two children in all. Visitors For Versteges Jack and Virginia Verstege had quite a few guests on the weekend of Aug. 3. Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Tosstadt from Louisville, Ky., and their son, Robert, Jr., Peter and Helen Schroeder of McHenry, Jack's two sons, Jack and his family from Northlake, Ind., and Ronny and Bev and children from here in the Shores.

Company's Coming The Wetzel family had company last week from Worthington, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hauck. They had an enjoyable stay of two weeks. Mrs. Hauck is Doris's sister. On the last day of her 'cation at grandma's house, little Mary Lee Both celebrated her third birthday. Helping to polish off the cake at the Muellers were her mother, Phyllis, her brother Ronnie, and sisters, Barbara, Sherrie and Susan. Also helping with the cake were new found playmates, Peggy Moore and Billy Dostal. Gerry and Vi Morris joined the happy group and took some three-D pictures with the new camera. The Ewalds had company last week; Marge and Cliff Anderson and their two children, Tommy and Nancy, (Nancy's namesake) all from Libertyville. Daisy and John Smith entertained last week by having a fish fry with some of the 'big ones' they caught up North on their vacation. As guests they had the Middlekauffs and Mildred Snively.

Meet The Simonsons The Simonson family resides at 3101 W. Still Hill Dr. and' Carl (known as Kelly by his family) Helen, and daughter, Pat. They were one of the first families to come to the Shores and have enjoyed watching it spread and grow. Carl was employed by a silver company for 42 years and now both he and Helen work in the McHenry area. Helen was born and raised in Darlington, Wis., and attended a private school in Dubuque. Kelly attended Schurz and then on to business college. Helen, as you probably have guessed, is Irish and that's the reason she likes to call her husband Kelly. You can imagine how proud she was to have her daughter born on March 17th (St. Patrick's Day). Pat is a very active girl, a good scholar and interested in sports, horsebacking riding, skating, music (accordion) and dancing and has won several trophies. In fact all the Simonsons are very active and take an interest in many things. We'd like to say we're glad to have them in the Shores.- Birthdays And Anniversaries First I'd like to apologize to two of the O'Brien children.

" The term varicose, is derived from the Latin word " V a r i x ," meaning "dilated vein," and is a condition which has been recognized for cen- ! turies. In fact, as early as the 7th Century A. D., tieing off the great vein in the upper thigh was attempted to relieve the distress of varicose veins. The cause or causes of this • condition are not definitely known. Heredity may play a part, chronic chest conditions with cough, constricting clothes, occupations calling for heavy lifting or prolonged standing and infections are all contributory factors.
