Page Twenty-Foil^ THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEB Thursday. August 22, 1963 McCuUom Lake ilTTLE LEAGUE AU-STARS TO PLAY SATURDAY Boys To Meet Lakeland Park r On BeachAt 2:30 Eve Leveaqw ertlumn. Ehna Nelson was so occupied with her invalid mother that she was unable to take mver as she has done so magnificently in 1 he past. This reporter is now work- Ipg pn eleven years at this same post and it is the first time there has been a lapse. Am I forgiven? -After losing a heart-breaking .game last week, our little leaguers will have a chance for retaliation this Saturday when the local all-stars, will meet wilh Lakeland Park A. S. fit our beach. Game time is 2:30 p.m. and everyone is. invited. After gping into extra innings, it was a mortal blow for Ihe local lads to lose 4-3 last Saturday. With plenty of welt wishers on hand to spur thefn on, oifr boys should bring home a victory. - Village Board Convenes Iftftiday The regularly scheduled meeting of the village board will be held Monday, Aug. 26, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. The public is invited to attend. Veterans' hospital last weekend for a brief visit. He underwent lung surgery (orally) last week and may need more surgery after tests are taken. He had glowing praises for the excellent care and food at the hospital and claims patients are never lacking for attention. This sounds very good. Your cards of well wishes would be much appreciated by those confined. Mrs. Lee Sawdo, left,. is shown purchasing a 1963 vehicle tak from Village Clerk Emma Pyritz in McCullom Lake last Friday. This is one of the many duties carried out by the clerk throughout the year. Apology For No Column Too many preparations and not enough time for all is the only excuse this reporter has for not writing a column before our vacation 'take-off. W a-s-h i n g, ironing, cooking, shopping, and packing for six people occupied my time until 10:30 -«p4»n. The Alarm was set for 3^80 a.m. and my poor little brain was numb. The Plaindealer received a card sent en route but apparently didn't receive it in time to print that there would be no "To^'s For Tot*" "Word has been received from Dick Pickett that the Marinesponsored "toys for tots" drive will be held this year. Residents are asked to start saving cast-off but in good condition, toys which will be rebuilt and repainted for youngsters who would not normally receive anything for Christmas. We will print the name of the establishment which will serve as a receiving depot in the near future. Eartliqunke Family Survive* It was with ecstasy that Nada Klapperich tore open the letter from her brother, George Popov, stating that he and his family had survived the devastating series of earthquakes which razed the town of Skopjn, Yugoslavia, recently. Mr. PO|M>V went through Ihe entire ordeal but his wife and 'two daughters were visiting in « town about 30 miles away ill Ihe time. They lost all their M'NxlonN when their home hul they are all well. Mi'*, Klnp|»erieh hopes that the four of them will be able to join her here soon. • Hospital Patients Following a fuU which put her in the AjprT^rican hospital in Chicago, Mrs. Emma Johnson (l-Jlma Nelson's mother fell again in the Nelson home and was hospitalized in Woodstock for five days. She is now convalescing in the Highland Rest home, Genoa City, while the Nelson tribe enjoy a much needed vacation. Louise Berquist entered Oak Park hospital Aug. 2 and was released Aug. 10 after suffering prolonged abdominal bleeding. X-rays reveal that she suffers from a very bad ulcer and may require complete removal of her stomach if it continues. She is now taking medication to relieve the condition. Here's hoping it works. Chester (Shorty) Sheriff was able to come home from Hines Serves As Maid Of Honor With her lovely tan and gorgeous gray green eyes, Lynne Schultz was pretty as a picture gowned in blue taffeta covered with white silk organza as she attended her cousin, Miss Patricia Alma Tamburino, on Saturday, Aug. 10. Patty became the bride of Hugh L. McCauley, III, in St. Stephen's Catholic church, DesPlaines, at 2:30 p.m. services. The very beautiful bride is the daughter of Will's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Tamburino of Chicago. Following a dinner reception for 200 guests, the newly wedded couple left for a honeymoon trip west and will probably visit with Theresa and Willard on the return journey. Deepest Sympathy To Bill Brand and the other Brand boys, who lost their mother last week. She was laid to rest on Aug. 17. Her death came after she had been a patient in a rest home for several years. The senior Brands were long time residents of the village, but moved away some years ago. "Miss Peanut" Finalist Happy were were to read that Margie Olsen was second runner-up in the recent "Miss Peanut" contest conducted by the Kiwanis clubs of Wonder Lake and McHenry. Forty seven youngsters took part in the contest last week. Marge, Ole, and li'l Margie departed last Friday for a trip to Kansas to see Marge, Sr.'s family -- the Rijas. They are scheduled to return this weekend. Tom and Ted are "holding down the fort" in mom and pop's absence. Nostalgic Trip To The Past There are no words to fully describe the marvelous vacation trip which Jake, the "Indians" and this reporter enjoyed! We departed about 0G00 on Aug. 9 and returned last Sunday after covering almost 3,000 miles and a myraid of experiences. Our four progeny were marvelo||s traveller* aitf added to the many joys we experienced. After a one-night stop in New York, we arrived in Dracut, Mass., for a three-day visit with Jake's brother and sister. We stayed with Annette and Ray Levesque and the three wonderful children. We broke bread with Julie and Charley Thurlow, the kids swam in the pool and we managed a small shopping trip. Then it was on to Augusta, Maine, with a pause in Newport, N.H., for a "dip" in the Atlantic ocean. With the mercury barely hitting 60, we only submerged our big toes. Our abode in Augusta was a two-bedroom trailer complete with blue fixtures in the bathroom and aqua sink, stove, and refrig in the kitchen, on 12-mile-long Lake Cobbesseecontee. The dwelling was provided by Evie and Joe Kirschner whose family includes li'l Joe, Mary, and Bobby. Joe Kirschner is one of Jake's flying and Navy buddies and one of the finest, men living. He truly lives by the golden rule. He owns and operates a meat packing and sausage factory in Augusta, but they don't ship out of the state (dam it!). Our son, Jeff, "popped his buttons" when he snagged a 3 lb., 16-inch long small mouth bass while fly casting. This reporter stuffed it and the family feasted along with some delicious Maine mackerel! The kids bowled, swam, fished, went horse back riding and just about every sport you could name. Anofher thrill was provided by/<4ne Kirschners when they arranged a reunion with John Lemos of Centerville (near Hyannis, Mass.) on Cape Cod, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Holdgate of Nantucket Island. They flew up to join us. It is almost nineteen years ago since last we met! Joe, John, Jake and Allen (and Evie and myself) served in World War II together at N.A.S. New Orleans and Bunker Hill, Ind. Evie and I even snared husbands! Somehow the ravages of time eluded these four clean living men! They all looked great! We left Augusta and started home with another journey to the past in Vermont. We drove to the top of Mount Ascutney (el. 3,144 ft. at the tower) in Ascutney State Park. The mountain road and part of ..its environs was built by the*^C. C. C. group of which Jdke was a member exactly 30 years ago! Then we hit the road for home, taking three days to do so, with pauses for rest and relaxation. (including more swimming and bowling) arriving home Sunday afternoon, considerably refreshed! Three signs along the way which struck our fancy, we share with you. In Charlemont, Mass., the sign on the fire station read "No fires please, the firemen are on vacation!" In Gardener, Mass. another read "he who has one for the road, has trooper for chaser." Hurd's grocery market in South Tamworth, N. H., advertises they are open 8 days a week! Chrys became so smitten with her cousins -- Lorraine and Gloria Levesque -- she hopes to attend school in the east! D. D. and Matt were also impressed with relatives and travelling. Here's hoping we can enjoy more! J. R. and I enjoyed our birthdays with a party for both at the Ray Levesque home and special treats along the way. Rooks For Downey Patients Bobbie Carroll is soliciting used books and magazines which she will deliver to the veteran patients at Downey hospital, Great Lakes. Your co-operation will be greatly appreciated. Over One Thousand Miles By Travelling some 7,400 miles, the seven members of the Skeets Morris family really ;aw a good deal of the country. They departed our shores the last weekend in July and returned on Aug. 16. Since Route 66 was familiar to Bettie Skeets chose another and they angled south and westward through Denver, Salt Lake City and Reno, with a oneday pause in San Francisco. They were impressed with the scenic wonders of the beautiful and awe inspiring Rocky Mountains. They trekked the route along the Pacific Coast northward to Reedsport, Oregon, to visit with Skeets' sister and family. Cousins cavorted and became re-acquainted as they visited here for one and a half weeks. Another state covered when the family journeyed to Seattle, Wash., for a business trip for Skeets. The splendor and glory of Vancouver, B.C., in Canada and the surrounding territory was breathtaking, according to Bettie. Of all the states traversed, Bettie Morris much preferred Oregon. The family returned three weeks later, with memories which last throughout their lifetime. Family Reunion In Indiana It was truly "back home again in Indiana," when Mayda and Gene Shigley motored there for a family reunion recently. Ther first stop was Webster Lake, Ind., for a visit with cousins, Cecil and Virginia Shigley, and Gene's "pet" Aunt Stella. Although she is 80 years young and recuperating from a broken hip, her spunk and intestinal fortitude is evident. She is getting around under her own steam with a walker. The Shigley couple journeyed on to Muncie, Ind., for their annual reunion with the "clan" which numbered at least 50! The two arrived home on Monday, Aug. 12, with plans to "do the town" and surroundings when Gene received the unhappy news that he was called back to work because of an emergency. He will have the last laugh when he gets his extra week when all other "slaves" are "back in the salt mines"! Timely Treks Details will be forthcoming when the following families return from their vacations. Theresa, Willard and Lynne Schultz should be on the homeward leg from Hayward, Wis., Elma, Earl and the boys also journey northward, and the Ole Olsens will soon be home from Kansas. Birthday Luncheon For the occasion of her natal day on Aug. 10, Mrs. Nada Klapperich served a yummy luncheon to her good chums. They included Katie Guzzardo, Elizabeth Michaels, Rose Schmitt, Anne-Marie Scarbrough and Mrs. Florence Nishan. The women played cards for the balance of the afternoon. Men's Club Picnic The McCullom Lake Men's club held their annual picnic at the V.F.W. recreation park on Aug. 11. The turn-out was excellent and included the Bud Cables, Dave Hansens, Ardelle Brand and the Len Jensens, Jr. For the children's amusement, the men arranged a series of games which included an egg throwing contest and hunting for pennies hidden in sawdust. Guy Hansen was the uncontested winner by digging out 34! The women provided the food by bringing a "pot to pass' and the men , provided the "sarsajaarilla" (with suds, of course!) Dinner For Tot's Birthday Roast beef provided hearty fare for the guests who came to honor Sandy Straumann as she turned 3, on Aug. 13. Phyllis and Denny entertained Mr. and John Sklarski and kiddies, Jenny Sulkowski and daughter Rosemary, Cynthia and Kevin Rourke, Nick Freund, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Larsen, grandma and grandpa Piotrowski, Aunt Delores, and brother and sister, Debby and Denny.
