Page Twenty THE McHENRt PLAINDEALER Thursday/ November?. 1$62 McHenry Shores WITCHES, GHOSTS, .. GOBLINS GATHER AT BEACH FOR PARTY Patt Petersen - 885-5425 in the Pink Lady Shop and at the reception desk. I would say these ladies are truly earning their title of citizens of McHenry. Last week McHenry Shores was the scene of some very mysterious doings. On Monday, a large group of frightening creatures congregated down at the beach for some wierd shenanigans. There was whooping, screeching, shouting and other assorted noises as they all paraded down several streets of the subdivision. They called it a Halloween party and what a party it was! The assorted witches, devils, skeletons, hoboes, ghosts, tigers and cotton tailed bunnies trooped from house to house asking for such strange items as a yellow button? 1941 penny? a hard boiled egg, tin can, burned wooden match and a shoelace. To be concocted, on their return, for a witches brew, perhaps? Later in the evening it was proven that even ghosts and goblins get hungry, as quite a lai'ge amount of hotdogs. milk, and candy were\devoured in a matter of minutes. As the evening progressed and a bonfire was lit for the purpose of warming cold toes a n d r o a s t i n g m a r s h m a l l o w s , the flames danced over an assortment of faces. Most of them had become surprisingly human; masks had been removed and the greasepaint smeared away, and costumes partly or wholely discarded. I think most of our young goblins would agree that it was a very nice party indeed. A special thanks goes to the ladies who worked so hard to plan and organize it. Audrey Whitney was the chairman and her helpers were Connie Lindwall, Joyce Pinkonsley, Gerry Olbinski, Elsie Schmitt and Alice Brunke. In Sympathy We were saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Helen Smith's mother, Mrs. Hawk. Helen's daughter, Mrs. Hugo Forsberg from Ohio, and her sister, Mrs. Harry Black of Indiana, came to stay at the Smith home for a few days in order to attend the services. Hospitalized We were sorry to hear that Joseph Mondry underwent surgery two weeks ago Wednesday but are now happy to report that he is recuperating very nicely. It is not known how long he will be in the hospital and I am sure he would appreciate some cards from friends and neighbors. The address is; Sherman Hospital, Elgin, 111., room 455. Bridge Tournament The bridge tournaments are on again. Actually, they staited in September and I'm jusl a little late in finding out. Regardless they do sound like a lot fo fun. They are held in the Methodist church twice a month and at least three of our ladies are in regular attendance; Irene Middlekauff, Bernice MacCallum and Helen Smith. Volunteers Needed If you have some free time and are looking for an interesting way to use it. you might consider volunteer work as the answer. Help is needed in the Women's auxiliary sponsored snack shop at McHenry hospital. It is satisfying work and all proceeds from the shop go toward equipment for the hospital. Each member is asked to work one dpy a month. Like to help out? If so, contact Daisy Smith, who is co-chairman of this service of the auxiliary. Her phone number is 385-0540. We already have several new volunteers from our subdivision and thev were honored at a tea given in the home of Mrs. Vera Joshel who is the chairman of the volunteer work at the Snack Shop. Those who are giving their services are Jackie McDermott, Marie Cicchini and Ruth Miller. Bernice MacCallum is also a busy worker for the auxiliary. She is the membership chairman and does volunteer work Hear Norman Ross Several of our ladies attended the Lecture Luncheon Club's recent doings at a popular theatre-restaurant. The speaker was Norman Ross who gave a very thought stimulating talk on '"The Three Worlds". Those attending were Daisy Smith, her guest, Irene S t o l l e r , Bernice MacCallum, Elian Duncan. Mildred Snively, Irene Mueller, Louise Winters, Leah Hogan and her guest, Mrs. T. A. Anderson of Woodst ">ck, and Irene Middlekauff. After the luncheon several carloads of the women drove to another well-known restaurant just in time to hear a speech given by Senator Dirkson. Tt proved to be quite an informative afternoon for the ladies. tie**. Happy 25 Tears - Philip and Neva Brod recently celebrated their twentyfifth wedding anniversary by having open house for thirtyfive close friends and relatives. This happy occasion took place on Saturday, Oct. 27. They had a beautiful dinner catered, and hired an organ player to provide dinner music. It was a sumptuous occasion for the Brods. Mrs. Brod said they received some beautiful silver and all in all it was a lovely party. Two Proud Aunts This is the fourth time in the last two months that women have mentioned to me, while bursting with pride, that they had recently become an aunt. I think this proves that becoming an aunt is as exciting as becoming a grandmother, not to neglect mentioning being an uncle or a grandfather too. Mrs. Corcoran recently became an aunt when one of her favorite nieces, Mrs. Gerald Fitzgerald of Milwaukee, gave birth to her first child on Oct. 25. Mrs. Corcoran made a visit to Milwaukee to see her niece and child. Jeanne Egger also became a new aunt recently and Art, a godfather. The new parents are Jeanne's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Goetz. The baby's name is Thomas Christopher and he has a sister, Les, and a brother, David. Jeanne got to see her spanking new nephew last Sunday when the family came to visit. Dinner Party The Ziemet s entertained a rather large group in their home last Sunday. Their dinner guests were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ziemet (Matthew's brother) and their daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. John Stoberg from Chicago, Julia Callas (Julia's mother), Mr. and Mrs. C. Maloney from Spring Grove, and the Whitneys and the Hattans.

The Olbinskis thems elves have four lovely children; Edwin is 12, Don, 9, Susan, who has just turned 6, and Kimberly, who is a year and a half. They have lived in McHenry Shores for about 6 years now and are known as a very friendly family. They lived previously in Chicago. Ed was born and raised in Chicago and attended Schurz high school. He's quite a sportsman. Gerry says there's hardly a sport which he doesn't enjoy. He not only enjoys but excels in them. There are twenty trophies in their home that prove this. His interests cover bowling.' bnseball, golf, basketball and so on. He is a member of the S.S.A.C. Club and the M.S.C. His occupation is a sheet metal worker in air conditioning. Gerry was born in Chicago and raised in Skokie and attended Waller high school. Her life is centered around her children: she says they keep her pretty busy. Gerry's sisters and brothers live all over the U.S. and she rarely gets to see them or their families. This summer, however, the Olbinskis were pleased to have several visits from some of Gerry's family whom they hadn't seen for several years. Visits and Visitors Some of our ladies took advantage of the beautiful fall day last Thursday and went on a shopping spree at a brand new shopping center in Des- Plaines. Julia Ziemet, Irene Mueller and Evie Tanner took one look at all that blue sky and sunshine and couldn't resist doing the town. They completed their outing by having lunch at one of the beautiful new restaurants at the center. Champagne for bre a k f a s t was enjoyed by Elsie and Jack Schmitt when they attended the wedding of friends last Saturday, Oct. 27. The marriage of Patricia Roloff to John Antonucci took place at Arlington Heights with the reception in DesPlaines at the bride's parent's home. This was where the Schmitts had their delightful champagne breakfast. For a breakfast Elsie says it was more sumptuous than most dinners. The Corcorans had a recent visitor in. their home; Ing's sister, Mrs. John E. Moore, made the trip from Vera Beach, Fla. Ing, who seldom gets to see her sister, was quite pleased with the visit. The Brunke family spent this past Sunday in Chicago with Alice's sister and her two children, Mrs. Delores Long, Clifford and Cathy. It was a special family occasion since the two children were observing their first Holy Communion. The Korners had a nice visit with their friends, the Robert Koches of Palatine. Mildred Snively, Helen Smith, Bernice MacCullum and Irene Middlekauff were all invited to have lunch in the home of a friend of their, Mrs. Hazel McLaughlin of Sunnyside Estates.

Obedience, Hunting & Retrieving By: Ross Emerson. R.Ph. Rather surprising is the fact that bee stings account for more fatalities in the nation than do bites of venomous snakes. Most dangerous are the honeybee, the bumblebee and wasps of three' types - yellow jacket, hornet and Poliste. If buzzed by a bee or wasp, it is best not to flail at the insect, but rather to walk away slowly, not run. The insect tends to attack moving things and dark clothes, hair oil scents and perfumes are attractive to them. This is a good spot to mention that you will never be stung in the matter of quality at MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC.
