Village Board Notes The village board of McCullom Lake held its semi-monthly meeting Monday evening, July 27, with village president Jake Levesque presiding. Among items up for discussion was the washout hazard on Orchard Drive between Spring Road and Forest View. The board moved and seconded the motion that this area be immediately repaired before any further damage is done. Major repairs of the roads in the vil lago have gone into the planning stage and the board suggested that a special committee be appointed for the purpose of designating which roads are most in need of these repairs. On the matter of finance, the county commended the village for the tremendous job they have done in the matters of handling the village funds. Our village is about the only village in the entire county that has this commendation to their credit. The proposal made by Mr. Mass to put in another road to the village was also brought up again. Laurence Anderson of Lake Shore Drive was present with a petition containing some seventy names protesting the Mass proposal but as president Jake Levesque had another meeting to attend the matter was postponed to a future date. The next meeting of the village board will be held Monday evening, Aug. 10, and the public is urged to attend. Linda Watson Married Miss Linda Watson, daughter of the senior Watsons of East Lane, became the bride of Mr. John Hachmeister Saturday, July 25. The rites were peri'ormed in the church of the Holy Family in Lake Villa with Jim Oates serving as best man and Darcy Watson and Lora Hachmeisler as attendants. Ushers for the ceremony were Roy Watson and Tom Hachj meistcr. The newly married couple ar£ presently setting up housekeeping in Chicago, while John is a member of the United States Army. Linda was recently honored at a surprise bridal shower in her home July 23. Miss Rae Chadwick was hostess for the affair as eighteen of Linda's former schoolmates presented her with many beautiful gifts. Miss Watson is well remembered as the 1963 McHenry Fiesta Day Queen and many good wishes are extended her for a long and happy married life. (Irandparente Again Mr. and Mrs. Anton Hocin of Maple Hill Drive became grandparents once again when their daughter Judi (Mrs. David Young) gave birth to her second son July 20. The newest addition to the family was named Thomas Michael and made his appearance at the Harvard hospital weighing in at 8 lbs. 14 oz. For a playmate he has his older brother, Scot David, who will be three years old Sept. 7. The young lad's paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Young of McHenry. Congratulations to the entire Hocin family on this blessed event. Hawaiian Luau Party Mr.' and Mrs. Nick Tabor of Lakewood Subdivision were host and hostesses at a Hawaiian luau party given in their home Saturday evening, July 25. Guests on hand to join in the festivities were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hansen, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hoelscher, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rourke, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Barrows, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Levesque, Mrs. Dorothy Bock, and Dewey Fricke. The "feast" was served on a. low table (Hawaiian style) decorated with fresh flowers, greens, and candles, and featured a fresh fruit centerpiece. The menu, which was designed to tempt even the most sensitive taste buds, consisted of shrimp tempura, barbecue ribs and chicken, bean salad, hot rolls, and coffee. For refreshment there was a beautifully decorated punch bowl and for those with stronger tastes* a portable bar. The highlight of the evening was Dave Hansen who danced the hula in a real grass skirt with Rich Barrows accompanying him on the bongo drums. Honorable Mention Quite a few people have been talking about how Kenny Betts,. of East Ldne "stole the/show" during the McCullom Lake Festival' July 25 and the general consensus of opinion is that he deserves special mention. Kenny played the target for "dump the sitter" for a period of three hours the evening of the 25th and turned it into the most riotous attraction of the day. He had a wisecrack for everybody and proved such a delightful target that people have begged him to do a repeat performance next year. Honorable mention also goes to Bill Walters who was chairman of the festival and did such a wonderful job in arranging everything for the event and to Bobbie Carroll who did such a fine job at the refreshment stand. With people like these putting their all into the festival it's no wonder it turned out to be the success it was. Engagement Announced Congratulations to Ken Sawdo on the announcement of his engagement to Miss Susan Blomgren. Miss Blomgren was born and raised in Madison, Wis., and is presently employed at St. Mary's hospital in Milwaukee, Wis. Ken is also presently a resident of Milwaukee where he is a student of electrical engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The couple have not set a definite date for the wedding as yet but plan on exchanging vows during the latter part of September. Ken is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Sawdo of Fountain Lane, McHenry, and Susan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard G. Blomgren of Columbus, Ohio. tered a terrible thunderstorm and had to drive through five hours of rain. Saturday afternoon found them in Pembine, Wis., where they spent several delightful days. From Pembine they journeyed to Goodman State Park in Goodman, Wis., where they camped some thirty miles back in deep forests. From there they spent some time camping at High Cliff State Park in Appleton, Wis., and after taking in their fill of the beautiful scenery they returned home to relax in their own "park" and reminisce about their many wonderful experiences. But the period of relaxation did not last for long for Mrs. Sehultz received a letter Thursday, July 30, from her boss in Springfield concerning an important conference Friday morning. So she packed up once again and left for Springfield Thursday afternoon, spent the nighl there, attended the conference Friday morning, and was back home relaxing again by Friday morning. Taina Olson, Mrs. SchUltz's six year old niece, was a visitor in the Sehultz home during the time she journeyed to Springfield. Taina helped Lynne and her uncle "hold down the fort" until Mrs. Sehultz returned. Saturday, Aug. 1, found more company at the Sehultz residence. Mrs. Elizabeth Houck, former McCullom Lake resident, dropped in to spend the day with the Schlultzes. Mrs. Houck has rceently been released from the Lake County TB Sanitarium where she had been a patient for six months and everyone was quite pleased to see her looking hale and hearty again. Now that vacation time is over Mrs. Sehultz is concentrating on her fourth coming campaign. She is a candidate for Recorder of Deeds on the Democratic ticket. Weekend Vacations Marge and Bonny Egerstaffer of Fountain Lane spent the first weekend of August visiting a very dear friends of theirs in West Chicago, Mrs. Sue Fox, and her four children. While there they had a most enjoyable time but were sorry they could not have spent more time together. MB. ZIP TAKES NEW ASSIGNMENT TO SPEED MAIL Mr. ZIP has a new assignment - to accelerate delivery of long distance parcel post by twenty-four hours or more. Postmaster General John A. Gronouski has announced plans to distribute outgoing parcel post by ZIP Code in the nation's thirty-four largest post offices. These offices account for more than 50 per cent of the total volume. The program, he said, will not only speed ^deliveries but will reduce damage to parcels because of fewer handlings in transit. "I envisage a virtual revolution in "the handling of parcels, in speedier delivery schedules and reduction of breakage and error," the Postmaster General commented. Entertains Visitors Mrs. Lauretta Frye of Lake Shore Drive has her great nieces and great nephews visiting with her during the first week of August. Spending an enjoyable vacation with their great aunt are Cathy, Scott, Neil, and Joe Holliday from Mokena, 111.

"I want to emphasize that ZIP ( oiled parcel post Is no1 designed merely for the benefit of the bulk mailer. Its purpose is to help everybody who sends a package through the mail. We expect it lo be a significant postal improvement, especially during the Christmas reason." Explaining how the program operates. Mr. Gronouski pointed out that ZIP Coded parcel post by-passes larger cities where there is a heavy mail, volume in post offices and is routed directly to the sectional center nearest.its destination. Delivery thus is accelerated by as much as 24 hours, especially for packages which travel .100 miles or more. And since fewer handlings are involved, t lie possibility of dam-'ige is reduced. By way of illustration, Mr. Gronouski said a parcel mailed, from Los Angeles to Alexandria, Virginia, without ZIP Code must be halted enroute at Cincinnati for further sorting. From there it is sent 1o the Washington. D. C. sectional center and then forwarded tp Alexandria. But if the package is ZIP Coded it will by-pass Cincinnati and move directly to Alexandria through the Washington sectional center, usually by local delivery star routes, saving as much as a day in transit. ZIP Code is built around the concept of 566 of these sectional centers througout the country. Mr. Gronouski explained. By the end of the year, he said, the distribution of outgoing parcel post by ZIP Code is expected to Ix1 implemented in each of these mail handling plants, which serve as transportation centers for surrounding "post offices. ZIP Coded pared post is another major step in an overall series of parcel posl improvements ordered by the Postmaster General since April, including: 1. An oider to the nation's postmasters to "clean up" .pnti| eel deliveries daily.. . V, 2. An increase from 25,000 t<j 35,000 in the , nunahefc .t "mounted" city delivery routepp on which the carrier |sjipoi|nEed on a vehicle and- < deiivew parcels of all'sizes.^1 ^*1 3.
