In addition to their family, other guests included Earl's brother, Larry, and Betty; Verna and Jock Schlofner, Mary and Andy Nimeth of Chicago; and son Terry's school roommate (at Bradley) Neil Campbell of New Jersey. Mickey's mother, Ethel Green, who resides with the couple and Earl's mother, Mrs. Mabel Murray, were school chums and maintained the friendship in later years. When Mickey was abut 18, the two visited with Mabel and at this time, Mickey and Earl "discovered" each other. They courted for about lbb years and were married in a Chicago church on June 11, 1938. The Murrays resided in Chicago until Earl entered the service and served with the 202nd coast artillery. For a time, he was stationed in Hawaii. Five years after their wedding, the family started arriving. First was Terrence (Terry) born April 20, 1943 then Susan followed in November of ld45. At the war's end, the two brothers. Earl and Larry, purchased an apartment building and also shared birth dates for their two children, Kathy and Janet born June 19, 1947. In 1958, the Earl Murrays purchased the former Wetle home on Maple Hill Drive and on Sept. 17, 1957, their youngest-- Patricia, was born. Earl has been employed in a savings department over 26 years and also serves as an officer of the local police department. The family has been a welcome addition to the community, both giving their time and energy to serve the village. Mickey te presently the treasurer of the Collom-Knoll Association and last year, she was the general chalttoan for the summer festival* A Fahalouft Dream Come True Judging from Mary Kantorski's sighs as she thinks about the 50th state in retrospect, this, was her first trip there, but certainly not the last! Mary returned last week from almost one month's journey which covered every good and thrilling emotion one could experience. She and her chum, Elsie Reiker of McHenry, "trained" from our shores on May 10. They boarded the U.S.S. Matsonia in San Francisco and spent five wonderful days on the ship. The food, hospitality, and planned recreation were spectacular. The two women landed in Hawaii on May 17 and had reservations at a local hotel. From the balcony outside their room they could see the ocean on the right and observe the city in all its splendor on the left. Mary described it as a jewel in a magnificent setting. They were fortunate enough to be present when astronaut Cooper and his family were honored in the Islands. They watched the parade and saw Gordon Cooper in person. This was a tremendous thrill. Tliey also viewed Ernie Pyle's grave (the famed World War II correspondent killed in action) and visited the cemetery where the heroes of Pearl Harbor Day are resting forever. Mary was amazed at the cleanliness of the city -- no smoke, smog, or dirt!!! The temperature is ideal and even the rain arrives in the form of a mist. You just don't get wet but everything stays verdant. Mary got in touch with Christine Nixon, a member of the American Legion post, McHenry, who is living in the Islands for three years until her husband's hitch in the service is completed. Mrs. Nixon taxied the gals about and they were able to cover more ground than they could have under their own steam. Other highlights of their tour included a trip through Pearl Harbor and one of the smaller islands. They received the traditional welcome and "send-off" with leis (fantastic local flowers) around the neck and smooches aplenty! They attended a typical "luau" complete with roast pig (prepared in a pit), poi (Mary says "ugl" to this one), chicken, fish, and other goodies prepared as only these people can. We can't wait until Mary entertains us with a genuine hula dance. Yes, she has the costume! She' also has adopted the wearing of the muu-muu. For the rest of the growing details--see Mary. She will be happy to fill you in! We couldn't be happier for this grand gal and Mary has already started saving her 'pennies" for the next jaunt. Still Making The Rounds Last week, it was Bill Pickett's turn to play host when the "ein, swei, drei" boys met. Other members include Dewey Fricke and Wally Tetten of Wonder Lake. Bill's entree was jKirk bocks and sauerkraut and dessert was a luscious rhubarb pie. When Bill had finished his masterpiece, he brought it to neighbor Mrs. Frieda Dryer for her inspection and approval. How about that? Dewey supervised the cooking and gave it his seal of approval also. The men finished the evening by playing "66" and washing the dust down with cold suds. These three guys are having a merry time for themselves and they do enjoy it! Natal "Dta/tP Belated congrats to Wanda Senter as of Tuesday, June 11 Kurt Walter is 4 today.

See you next week? s«HOP MCH£ABT PLAINDEALER'S TRAVEL WRITER VISITS SOUTH By Marie Schaettgen We travelled recently through parts.of many southern states, Arkansas. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. We saw many surprising sights, i;uch as large cattle ranches In Florida, developments of the vast wasteland of the Florida Kverglades-but the thing that impressed us most was the road building throughout the South. We came upon stretches of four-lane highways everywhere practically from the time we left McHenry. Last year we read an item telling of the plan to connect Chicago with the Gulf coast by means of expressways. We believe this would benefit our area as much as the southern states. It would dreate an exchange of tourists from the south to the north. On the west coast of Florida We found a tendency to attract the tourist as well as the retiree's tastes seem to be undergoing a process erf rejuvenation. Luxury seems to be the keynote of the newer attractions in the South. One such place that seemed to carry out this idea to the 'nth degree is -a motel (we could be sued for calling it that) owned by the lamed orchestra leader, Guy Lombardo, on the islands of Tierra Verda in the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Lombardo has named it Port O' Call. There is a Marina to accommodate 80 boats, including large yachts; there is a golf course, a tennis court and most importantly beautiful vistas both from the inside and the outside. There is a huge ballroom a theatre restaurant and "everything." What brought on this "little ditty" by me is-"Why hasn't some enterprising millionaire or a group of far-seeing business men thought of our Chain O' Lakes area for something like Mr. Lombardo's Isle of Dreams." Each 100 gallons of sea water contains about one pound of magnesium in suspension. COLLEGE GRADUATE Doreen Kate Davidson of McHenry received her bachelor of science in education degree with the class of 189 Wartburg college seniors last week. Dr. Elton Tru?blood, world famous philosopher who is now teaching at Earlham college, Richmond, Ind., delivered the commencement address at the Waverly, Iowa, college.

Refreshments will be served and all the gals in the community are invited to attend. More Strong Backs Needed! Not enough fellas showed for the Cullom-Knoll work party last week so another one is being called for this Sunday at 10 a.m.! Bob Fernandez, Roger Kinsey, Greg Burg and Lee Mai were a great help to Don Parent! but more arc needed to launch the raft. PLEASE HELP!! The men removed a great deal of debris from the lake including broken bottles and tin cans. Who could be so stupid as to toss this stuff where children are playing? So many have asked favors of the Cullom-Knoll including beach lights until late at night but the dues of six bucks per year are not forthcoming. This is an excellent chance to prove your interest in the community. Your dues may be paid to the treasurer--Mrs. Eary Murray, to the secretary --Betty Murray, or to any officer in the organization, NOW! There are improvements contemplated but they do cost money. Won't you help? We have excellent facilities but they can be much better WITH YOUR HELP! Young Teens Enter Queen Contest Two young local girls and a former one have entered the Army Lad Home On Leave Handsome lad Pfc. John Padgett thrilled his grandparents, May and Butch Kennenburg by dropping in unexpectedly Memorial Day. His military bearing is apparent even in his "eivies"! John has been stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky., and will be leaving for further duty in Korea on June 23. John visited with his mother in Woodstock and then spent some time here in the village. He chatted with his aunt and uncle, Jean and Hugh McDonald, and with aunt Theresa Cunningham. He was scheduled to travel to California to see his dad, John Padgett, Sr., before returning to camp. Johnny mentioned that he had served duty with the troops during the desegragation of Mississippi.
