Thursday, April 11, 1963 THE McHENRY PIA1NDEALEB Pag# Snnnyside Estates Mourn Death Of Max Kropf Jom Waksymid 885-S1M • ®lil8 past week has held a lot of sad news for me to report to you again. George Kmnfs father, Max Kropf, passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 72 years. Although it was somewhat anticipated due to his critical condition, it happened more suddenly than even the doctor expected. The funeral was held On Saturday, April 6, at St. Alexander s church, Villa Park. It happened to be the church I attended all my younger years and I haven't been back there since a wedding in 1949. Little idid I think the next time would be for Stan and me to share a day of grief with our dearest friends and neighbors. I trust I speak for all the folks in our small community when I offer Millie and George our very deepest condolences on the loss of their loved one. The next bit of sad news for me to report is that Chet Banker is very low as of this writing. They are doing all they can for him, but he has a lot of things to fight. Our prayers are with him and June and Dennie during these ever so trying days. News From The South Even the letter Stan and I received from "Mom and Dad" Kimbro held sad news. It seems the flu bug really got at Dad this time and landed him in the hospital, a very sick man. But, thank goodness, being the strong fellow he is, he has recovered enough to return home to finish his recuperating, and outside of the weight he lost, he is gradually returning to normal. The weather in Tennessee is in the eighties, they write, and the flowers are already blooming and, believe it or not, they are already cutting grass down south. Terrific That was all I could think of to say when I learned that Emma and Gunnar Johansen walked all the way into Mc- Henry one day last week. Imagine being able to do that when you are in your sixties and seventies. Quick Trip ' A recent weekend found Dolores and Tom Hanahan friaking scurried arrangements tor baby-sitters, etc., after a last minute decision to attend the installation of the newly elected international officers of the Carpenters' Union in Washington, D. C. They made the trip with Mr. and Mrs. James Sexton of Winthrop Harbor and left on Thursday aQd returned by Monday, II- was short but wondeijfiul- from what they tell me. They toured all the sights they could cram into the short time they were there, including the White House, Arlington cemetery and some of the monuments. What a fascinating weekend that must have been. Dinner With Dad The basketball team of Johnsburg school held a fatherson banquet last Saturday evening. My nephew, Michael Mikkelsen, and his dad, Bob, attended along with Tedding Jost and dad, Joe, and Ted Bierchen, Jr., and Sr. I can't imagine who was more proud that night, father or son! Special Occasion Visit Henrietta and Karl Rau were pleased to tell me that Karl's mother was with them for a Visit. Their daughter, Karen, 4vas confirmed on Palm Sunday (more details next week) THE RAINBOW CLEANERS TRUCK IN FRONT OP YOUR HOME TELLS YOUR NEIGHBORS... . . . Yoo want til* best for |row family! DIAL aHKI For Pickup Service at CASH * CARRY PRICES WKOVED^ SEtVICf and Grandma Rau came out in anticipation of the big event. I also learned that their son, John, suffered a few chipped bones in his knee as the result of a fall at school recently. Study Day That was the title given to the program which filled the day on Saturday, March 30, when a number of seventh grade students from St. John's school made the trip into St. Mel's of Chicago. These "Young Christion Students" enjoyed such guest speakers as the Most Rev. R. P. Hillinger, Rev. John O'Donnell and the Rev. Shaunessy. The children all had a grand time. We (the Walczyhski family, that is) took advantage of the opportunity and spent the whole day and evening in Chicago. We spent, some time with Stan's mother and his sister and her family and the balance of it shopping and a short visit with my aunt and uncle. News Of SEHOA, Inc. The meeting held on Thursday, April 4, was well attended. (Isn't it a real shame that at least that many people can't get to every meeting.) After such preliminaries as the minutes and the treasurer's report, next on the agenda, we heard from the chairman of different committees. Ray Bieschke, as beach committee chairman, asked how many people would be interested and wculd make use of a boat launch if it were constructed. He has asked that those of you who own boats or who have friends with boats, who think they would make use of this, please call him at 385-6166 between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m., any week day. The purpose behind this is that although it would be a very economical launch if constructed, it would certainly be a waste if not enough people would make use of it. Therefore, you are asked to call either Ray or myself and let us know. Next we were informed that James Leahy is in charge of the clean-up campaign and everyone is asked to co-operate. The main objective is to make our subdivision more- eyeappealing, not only to our friends and guests, but to our selves, especially those of us who spend the large majority of our time here. It will begin with the men burning off the empty lots (with the fire house pre-warned, I might add). Then the cleaning up of the trash on and about all the lots; this trash being put out for a spring clean up day pick-up. If you are called upon to help, please do so. Everyone will profit by it. And last but certainly not least, the road committee chairman, Jerry Olsen, presented the proposal for paving of the roads. This was done by his telling us what they would do, how much it would cost, asking and answering questions, etc. When this was accomplished, the matter was put to a vote to see if the road committee should continue with their many efforts to obtain the big objective: paved roads. They had asked for a seventy-five per cent t affirmative vote before they would continue and when the votes were counted, they totaled a 73-74 per cent. However, it was suggested and then put into a motion that since only about half the homeowners were in attendance, another meeting be held next month and once again a vote be taken, thus giving everyone a chance to bet to the meeting and cast a vote. I'll inform you later as to the exact date. Registration Attention all would-be Little Leaguers! Registration is on onday, April 15, (which is ter Monday) at 7:30 p.m., at the Johnsburg public school. Any boy who will be eight years old before Sept. 1, is eligible. If you are interested, be there. Lon«r Planned Trip The eighth grade graduates from St. John's school will take advantage of their day off from school on Easter Monday, April 15, by spending the day making a trip to various points of interest. This "graduation trip" is looked forwerd to long in advance and I'm sure they all deserve it. If £hey have as much fun this year as they did last, they'll really have a ball. I'll let you know next week. Girl Scout News Troop 88 spent their weekly meeting doing the following things. They had a flag cercmony to begin with, followed by attendance and dues. Next they collected the balance of the cookie money, and the two top sales ladies were awarded prizes. The prize winners were Mary Jane Lakowske and Linda Hosier. Next they did some choral reading. This was followed by learning some new songs. Then the older Scouts discussed the father-daughter banquet while the younger anes played games. Seven girls then put on a skit entitled, "Troop 88's First Overniter." After ref r e s h m e n t s , f u r n i s h e d by Rhonda Schultz and Kristine Kerr, the girls ended their meeting with a good-night circle. Troop Leader, Alice Bieschke, spent two days this past week taking the training course for Day Camp director. Troop 295 held its weekly meeting a day early due to Marge Palmer and I having commitments elsewhere. The meeting was spent doing further work on our "secret project" for our Court of Awards and arranging extra meetings between now and the fatherdaughter banquet of May 1, in order to accomplish all we've planned.
