Baseball Warning With all the kids playing baseball in the empty lots at this time of the year, it seems necessary to pass on a word of warntrig for parents to pass on to their offspring. It seems a little late this year as one accident has already taken place as the result of a thrown bat.

General Meeting A very small group of interested citizens wa's on hand at the community house last Sunday when the annual meeting of the Lakeland Park Property Owners Association was called to order. Business which was brought up included discussion on the roads' with our road commissioner, Mr. Douglas, requesting people to call him if they have road problems. A report from Mr. Walinski on the beach fund was also heard. Each beach has a slide and swings with the same equipment also at the community house. We hope that parents will impress upon their children that this equipment belongs to everyone and to take care of it like it belonged to them. In this way it will .last for many years. Vicki Bottari, as President of Woman's club, presented the association with a check to be used in making the community house nicer looking and more comfortable. The annexation committee announced that on April 28 they will take the petitions to Woodstock, and then a date for the elections will be set. More about this will be in the Newsletter next week. The results of the election for board members were as follows, Shirley Koch, Gladys Hafer and Bill Bockman, Jr. Congratulations to these three very capable people. LPPOA dues and garbage fees will stay the same as last year but will be billed only twice a year, once in May and again Nov. 1. There will be a savings of $5.00 if you pay your dues by May 31. Recuperating at Home We were all so happy to hear that Marge Webber is now at home and probably very happy to be there. She still has her arm in a cast and is walking with crutches but she is getting along just beautifully. We are also happy to hear that Virginia Hodges is back home again having spent the last 6 weeks in the hospital, partly in Woodstock and partly in Rockford. I'm afraid I slipped up on Carmon and Virginia's anniversary which she celebrated from her bed in the hospital on March 2 so here is a belated happy twenty-fifth anniversary to you folks. Strolling Through the Park All of our Cub Scout dens were busy over the holidays taking a trip down to Crystal Lake where they were shown through a drive-in restaurant. The boys were impressed by the many operations which it takes to make the food ready for serving. On Wednesday, Mrs. Hulbert and Mrs. Rogers took their dens on another field trip, this time to Barrington where they toured the Jewel plant. Well, Spring has sprung and if ypu don't believe it just look at all the runny noses around and about. It seems that the complaint to have these days is a kid with an ear infection or sore throat. Kim Cynowa is not feeling up to snuff with a recurrence of an ear infection that supposedly had cleared up. Likewise her sometimes partner in crime, Barbie Humann, whose mom would like to have stock in the drug company. Bobby and Gale Hutt have been under the weather with severe sore throats. Hope that they're back in circulation by today. On the cheerful side of the ledger are lots of comings and goings. Jack and Petey Oakford were in the audience Saturday night at a performance of "Inherit The Wind" in which Pietey's niece, Pat Mc- Cullough, had one of the lead parts. The Humann girls and their mom spent last Wednesday in the city visiting Grandma Humann and enjoying the lovely weather. They also paid a visit to the first-born son of Marge and Phil Johnson. The young lad has been named Eric by his proud folks. A wonderful day, but there's no place like home! Max and Shirley Koch entertained Saturday evening with a dinner party for Glenn and Laura Williams. It was a farewell party for Glenn who is off to launch more rockets for Uncle Sam. After dinner the Johnsons dropped in to. complete the party which lasted till the wee, small hours of the morning. Virginia Fry and her four children of Milwaukee spent Easter week visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Poole. They were joined on Easter by another daughter and husband, Laura .and Pete Ternes and their five children. A nice family reunion. Hattie Manning spent a Week with her daughter, Marilyn Willnecker, in Oak Lawn. Marilyn was under the weather and Grandma came to the r e s c u e . T h a n k h e a v e n f o r grandmas, who are always there when you nped them. The Laursen family and Jo- Ann Gladman spent the weekend camping with the Millstream Campers at Rock Cut State Park near Rockford. The fickle weather didn't cooperate too well, but was great for a shake-down trip. Joan Maynard of Zion spent part of her spring vacation with her sister, Virginia Buss. Ray and Carol Cynowa entertained Mr. and Mrs. Walt Davis and son from Woodstock at dinner on Sunday. Grandpa Humann and grandson, Jim Humann, came out to enjoy a day of fishing with Don on Saturday, but Grandpa's usual luck held and the fish population of the lake didn't decrease at all. Otherwise the fish have been biting pretty well. At least they seem to beckon when garages need cleaning, etc. Many familiar faces were seen at the Neighborhood Girl Scout Fair on Sunday at the junior high. Both the Brownie troop and the Junior troop were well represented. They each had tables displaying their work from the past year, and as we are very prejudiced, we thought they were excellent and among the better displays. The Brownie Scouts who represented Troop 464 in the flag ceremony were Wendy Quast, Shirley Meurer and Mary Humann. The Junior Scouts were Debbie Foszcz, Cathy Humann and Donna Humann. The Hodges had as their guest over the weekend Ray Gernke, a young boy who was attending the Methodist youth rally in Crystal Lake. Jo and Paul Rizzo took Paullette back to school Sunday after being home for three weeks on vacation. On their Is In ou? bends when' we compound your doctor's prescription.

The Georges arrived home from a two week camping trip last week Friday having traveled some 4,700 miles. They toured the Southwest states, viewing the Grand Canyon, and getting caught in the Carlsbad Caverns when they had a power failure about 485 feet underground. The weatherman was very nice to them out there being very warm most of the time. I'm anxious to see their movies when they get them back.

Twenty-Five Years Ago (Taken from the files of April 10, 1841) A deal was recently closed giving Mr. and Mrs. George W. Freund full possession of the William Bishop house on Riverside Drive. A total of fifty-one marriage licenses were issued in the county clerk's office for the first three months of 1941, this being just one short of the number issued in the same period for 1940. Commencement exercises at the McHenry community high school to be held on May 29, will be conducted in a novel manner this year. C. H.
