Thursday, August 1, 1963 THE McHENRY PLMNDEALEH Plslaka* Terrace NEW OFFICERS CONDUCT MEETING AT VYDUNA HOME Joyce Toepper -- 385-3044 The Pistakee Terrace association will meet August 5 at the Calvin Vyduna home at 8 p.m. This will be the first meeting with our newly elected officers. The more interest shown the more incentive it will give. Come support your organization. The Pistakee Terrace Women's auxiliary will hold their election at the August 8 meeting, at the Eleanor Moore home beginning at 8 p.m. The election meeting for July was cancelled due to so many conflicts of the members. Plan to attend this August meeting. Reminder Terraee Beach Private The Pistakee Terrace beach is private for use by subdivision residents and their guests only. Last year two very nice signs were erected on the beach explaining the necessary rules for the good of everyone. Certain area children thought the signs made very good targets for stone throwing with the results being no signs now. At no time are boats to be allowed to come in on the land. The buoys have been repainted and once again anchored out in the river as prescribed by the state requirements. However as usual there are some who don't understand that those buoys are there to provide our children safety from the boats. If anyone observes a boat docking on the beach that will not leave when requested, please contact the McHenry County sheriff's department and they will send the safety patrol over to help enforce the rules. If we want the beach there must be no exceptions. There are refuse cans on the beach which are emptied each Tuesday free of charge. It is costing you to maintain the beach, money that is wasted unless each and everyone does his part. Also it has been brought to my attention that dogs are runnjng loose on the beach. Besides nipping at the children, dogs do not make for the cleanest beach. Need we say more? Terrace Tidings Howard and Agnes Secord entertained their nephew, William Secord from Minot Air Base, Minot, N. Dakota, Sunday, along with his fiancee, Miss Frances Herdt of Glenburn, N. Dakota.

"zr Pag« ScrralM Wonder Lake CHAMP FINDS OUT IT DOESN'T PAY TO BE FRIENDLY Mary Lou Hartog The Mort Woodwards' boxer "Champ" found out the quickest way to "lose friends and alienate people" was to be overly friendly. Champ likes to disprove the theory that dogs and cats don't get along. He likes cats and he likes to let them know it - especially by licking their faces. Well -- it seems that this particular kitty-cat, all dressed up in her black coat with the white stripe down the back just wasn't buying any of this canine friendship and she let him know it in short order. Now he's having to suffer the indignities of having all sorts of remedies rubbed on him. Ruth reports that so far, tomato juice rubbed into the dog's hair has worked the best. It's enough to make a fella turn into a hermit, isn't it? Ronnie Kreutz And Quenten Moeller Arrived Home Two young men from Wonder Woods returned home this past week from California where they have been in service. Ronnie Kreutz brought his bride home with him to visit his parenls, Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Kreutz. Quenten Moeller is still single. Both boys are returning to California where Quenten will enter school.

Miss Wonder Lake Contest Well the big night is over for the eight girls who competed for the title of Miss Wonder Lake last Saturday night at the Firemen's carnival. I wouldn't want the judges job of trying to choose a winner. They were all pretty. Leigh Perry of 5703 Telegraph Road, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Perry, was crowned queen by Leanna Sellek, 1962 Miss Wonder Lake, and was presented with her bouquet of "Happiness" roses by Donna Clark who is replacing Leanna in this year's Miss McHenry County contest. I'm probably doubly happy about the outcome because I sponsored Leigh through my flower shop. I'm right proud of her, I am. Nancy Houda was first runner- up. Jane Koertgen was second runner-up and Pam Parker was third runner-up. The full story of the contest is elsewhere in this paper. Vacationers At 4 a.m. on the morning of July 4 two adventuresome young ladies of Wonder Lake, Joyce Motulewicz and Joan M •! s < sinHo,! out I •. <T. | " ' \ a two weeks vacation in the southland. And enjoy it they did - every minute cf it. Their first destination was Marmet, W. V., where they visited with friends of Joan's, for two days. From there they went to Miami to call on relatives of Joyce. They then moved on to Miami Beach where they rented a motel and stayed for eight days just swiming and sleeping and eating and doing all the fun things that two pretty girts do on vacation. On their way to Miami Beach they stopped at St. Augustine and sipped from the,, fountain of youth (as if they needed it) and visited all the historic places. They also took a boat cruise to Ft. Lauderdale and the Everglades. On the return trip they stopped at St. Petersburg to visit Chuck and Doris Carlson for one night. They arrived home at 3 a.m., on July 21 - tired but very happy. They'd had a perfect two weeks and will have conversation material for the next year. While the girls were away, Joyce's Tiftks^ the Ed. Motulewiczes, were off in the other direction/ visiting Door County Wisconsin. Mom and Pop were camping out while daughter was^ving it up in Miami Beach. Sounds like fun either way. Anniversary A happy anniversary greeting to Tom and Cathy Dockery who celebrated last Saturday. Baton Corps Still (ioing Strong Those fifty youngsters in Delorcs Ori's Baton Corps took the V. J. Day parade right in their stride last Sunday. I understand they all made the finish line too. On Thursday - Aug. 1 - they will enter the individual try-outs at the McHenry County Fair. Each one will lie united <m his or her own merits in this contest. They will compete for prizes. Good luck, kids. Firemen's Carnival Well, that big old weatherman cooperated all the way for last weekend's annual carnival. Just so everyone wouldn't get too smug about it he dropped a few quick showers but not where they did any harm and everything was a big success. The firemen and their everlovin' fraus worked themselves into a state of exhaustion to see that you folks had a good time and apparently they were successful because everyone that I saw seemed to be enjoying themselves even when they were parting with their foldin' stuff. Now they can all rest up and start thinking about how to make it bigger and better next year. Cuts Foot At Beach Dick and Lee Pickrum's son cut his foot at the beach on a broken bottle some thoughtless character had left lying in the sand and had to have 20 stitches in it. If only the people who use our beaches and roadsides as their own personal garbage pail would be the ones to get themselves hurt there might be some justice - but this never happens. Please put your refuse where it belongs and don't litter the beaches with it. MOUNTAIN DUVDW •ft A drive in the mountains can be sheer delight but some of the drops at the roadside are just plain sheer. The Institute for Safer Living states that motorists unaccustomed to driving in the mountains should follow these suggestions: Keep your eyes on the road, do not scenery gaze while moving; for best car control, use second or low gear when climbing or descending steep grades; do not stop on the road; use appropriate turnouts and parking areas.

The Ed Dwyers run these forty-one appliances for only 36c worth of electricity a day Mailman Carl Jacobson stops on his appointed rounds to look on in amazement at the number of electrical helpers the Dwyer family owns--and who could blame him! Actually, the Dwyers are fairly typical of all of us. They've been adding more electrical helpers to their household every year. And like most of us, they're using lots more (about 3 times as much) electricity today, but paying less for it per kilowatt hour. One reason for this Is the Power Grid System, which connects our power lines with companies in fortythree states. This system allows us to buy (or sell) power at advantageous rates, keeping down the price you pay. That's another reason why it costs so little to live better electrically today!
