Thursday, August *5. 1184 Tim McHEffBlf PLAINDEALER Section Tw@ W-Fsgs MCCULLOM LAKE NEWS CAROL BATEMAN Shrine Circus Trip A Success The free trip for village children to the Shrine Circus In Rockford went as scheduled Wednesday, Aug. 12, and with the weatherman cooperating things went better than anticipated. The children all behaved like little adults on the buses and at the circus. The kids got quite a thrill when the clowns went through the audience and shook hands with as many children as possible and the circus, as promised, was better than ever. It looked like some of the adults that accompanied the children as chaperons got a bigger kick out of it than the kids did. But aren't we all kids at heart! The only bleak note of the evening was listening to the children sing "Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall" all the way home. This, of course, is a personal opinion for quite a few adults were heard singing over the voices of the children. Special credit should go to the police officers who escorted the caravan of buses to and from Rockford. Wilbert Hecht, Jr., was the man responsible for all of this. Next year Mr. Hecht plans on taking the children from McHenry to the circus, besides our village children and the Crystal Lake children. Plans are already in the making. Attends Wedding Theodor and Sally Olsen of Fountain Lane spent the weekend in Chicago to attend the wedding of Sally's granddaughter, Miss Lynne Sally Temple.

Godparents for the baby were Mrs. George Diedrich and Gary Freund. Proxy for Gerry Freund, who is presently in the Army and stationed in New Jersey, was his father, Clarence J. Freund. Following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Young, paternal grandparents, held a dinner party for the family in their home.

In the absence of village president Jake Levesque, Eugene Shigley presided as chairman over the meeting. Other board members present were Emma Pyritz, John Boyle, Art Stuhlfeier, Art Nelson, and the village attorney Roland Herrmann. Mr. Stuhlfeier reported that he had obtained one road patching estimate which included labor and materials but the price quoted was per ton and the board suggested obtaining bids for the entire patching job instead. It was also decided that the village ditches will be cleaned out as soon as possible. The subject of the Mass road proposal was again brought up and Laurence Anderson of Lake Shore Drive asked if the petition he brought to the board at the previous meeting protesting the Mass proposal was read into the minutes as had been agreed on. Due to some oversight it hadn't been and the board moved and seconded the motion that it be officially recorded in the minutes. However, the village attorney stated that petitions or no petitions, the people cannot do anything about matters the village board decided if the board does it for the betterment of the community and seeing that the board has already voted in favor of the Mass proposal it is now more or less a closed issue. The next meeting of the village board will be held Monday night, Aug. 24. Double Birthday Celebration The Earl Nelsons and the Jake Levesques went out on the town last Saturday evening, Aug. 15. Reason for the celebration was Eve Levesque's and Earl Nelson's birthdays which both fell on the same day. The celebrants and their spouses enjoyed a luscious dinner at a Crystal Lake restaurant with organ music for entertainment. With Earl being only twelve years older than Eve It is really amazing how much younger she looks than him. A champagne pa^ty was held the following day at the home of Earl Nelsons where the foursome took up where they left the evening before. Highlight of the day for Eve was a phone call from her brother, Ted, in California wishing her a happy birthday and his three little girls singing to her over the phone. Ted, who is a major in the Air Force, has just recently returned from Bangkok,, Thailand, and is awaiting his twenty year retirement from the army.
