Thirrsday, October 31, 1963 THE McHENBT PLAINBEALER Page Twenty-On® McCullom Lake GHOULS, GOBLINS GHOSTS, GOODIES FOR SMALL FRY Eve Levesque Here's hoping the moms of the community have been busy "building" costumes for their little ones., The chance to display originality will occur tonight when the Cullom-Knoll Association presents its annual Halloween party for the younger guys 'n' gals of the village. The affair under the able direction of Roger Kinsey will get under way about 7 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for the best boy costume and one for the girls. There will be "apple dunking" and other forms of amusement and treats will be distributed liberally in lieu of "tricks." The youngsters yill have plenty of time after school to make the rounds of the homes for their "handouts." So, be prepared!. Mr. Kinsey and his committee have been making plans in order to insure the kiddies a really good time. Deliver your wee fellas and little ladies to the beach for the time of their lives. Children Honored Guests At New Store Saturday An open invitation has been extended to the younger por pulation by Bernice and Torsten Bjork to attend the "grand opening" of their new pop and candy "emporium" Saturday afternoon, Nov. 2. There will be free gifts galorei and moms and dads are welcome IF accompanied by a child! That's a bit of a switch--but the unvarnished truth! Only the patronage of the community can insure the success of this new venture. "Fowl Frolic" For Nov. 23 Another reminder from the Ladies of the Lake to mark this date in red when the gals will again hold their annual Thanksgiving soiree. The place is McDonald's and starting time is about 8:30 p.m. As in the past, the funds realized will be used for the good of the community. The women are contemplating another shelter for the school kiddies and these ventures require lots of that "green stuff." -but this article is meant as a warnmg to motorists! The hours of danger are between 4:30 p.m. to about &30 p.m. We did report one accident of this nature which occurred-- let us have NO MORE! Illuminating Information Ole Olsen was astounded to hear from Lee Sawdo that a weasel can kill a man. When he queried further, Mr. Sawdo said he knew of a man who was crossing the railroad tracks and didn't hear the "weazel"! These are the gems of information no column should be without! Young Men In The Limelight When he graduated from Mc- Henry high in June, former resident John Rourke was named "sportsman of, the year" and it follows that he would continue his accomplishments in the "halls of higher learning." John wrote his mother and dad, Bev and Frank, last week that he was accepted for freshmen basketball. He was elated and so are they. He is attending Northwestern University at Evanston on a Chick Evans scholarship. Another young man in the limelight was Ted Olsen, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Olsen, when he and two other lads represented Marion Central Catholic high school, Woodstock, on the "It's Academic" television program last Saturday night. The show was taped earlier for viewing on Oct. 26. Sad we are to relate that Marion was not the winner, but the lads made an excellent showing. son and Joanne Mai were the clever ones in this department. For entertainment, the gals bowled with glee while playing "rebbor ognib" and it is a great deal of fun. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. Scenic Canadian Jaunt For Fall Vacation Lil and Lee Sawdo accompanied by daughter, Barbara, and her friend, Johnny Miller of McHenry, recently returned from a 1,733 mile journey which included points north and east. They motored to Ocanto, Wis., and entered Michigan by way of Menominee. They continued on, through the Indian country and then boarded a boat for the trip to Mackinac Island. They paused here overnight before continuing on to Sault Ste. Marie and entered Ontario, Canada, via the new bridge which opened last summer. They forded Lake Michigan by boat which also carried twenty-eight railroad cars, many of them handling coal. That's quite a boat! They returned to Oconto where they have a home and agreed it was glorious journey. Spring Grove LAYMEN CONDUCT METHODIST CHURCH , SERVICES SUNDAY | Eva Vnnd Laymen participation was held at the Methodist church last Sunday when three young men, Jack Freund, Gary Grant and Nick Hedge, conducted the services. A fine rendition of their theme "God and me" was given. In the afternoon the M.Y.F. group attended a rally at Harvard church. They also took part in the donations of canned goods to orphanages. A Thousand Pardons For the goof we made concerning the village board meeting. With total disregard for the meeting held Monday night, Oct. 28, we blithely stated the next would be Nov. 11. Please forgive--I was working in the wrong week! ; Cars 'N' Cows Could Cause Chaos With the change in tune, milking time for the farmers along the McCullom Lake blacktop comes after dark. When this chore is completed, the bovines are turned out to pasture and must cross the highway to do this. Last Saturday, this reporter and Indians came upon a herd quite suddenly because a weak flashlight was used for illumination. We would suggest a flashing red light of some sort, Vnried Costumes "Cop" Prizes An Algerian palace guard (this reporter), "Madame Butterfly" (Marie McKim), and a blonde "beatnik" (Joanne Mai) won. the prizes in the Ladies of the Lake costume party last Thursday night in the beachhouse. The difficult judging job was handled skillfully by Laura Slater, Mary Kantorski, Marie Hojnacki and Betty Reiter. The other women were attired thusly: Helen Scheid as "Daisy Mae"; Bobbie Carroll, Gertrude Murphy and Sally Olsen as men; Lois Parenti was a McHenry high cheerleader; Marge Stacknick as a lolly pop sucking little girl; Petey Schmidt was a ferocious pirate; while Grace Kinsey was a "bloody" pirate.

All very clever. For the affair, the beach house was handsomely done in caricatures of skeletons, pump kins, and witches with trim ming of black and orange crept paper. On the tables were real pumpkins which served as vases for the seasonal mums of varied hues. The centerpiece was a huge carved pumpkin surrounded by squash and anoth • pumpkin served as a punc bowl! Helen Scheid. Elma N When A Feller Needs A Friend While traveling along one of the Illinois tollways last Friday, hubby Jake was the unfortunate victum of a flat tire. He raised the rear deck and was about to change the darn thing, when a patrol car approached. The officer called for a repair truck which appeared in less than five minutes.
