We also wish to extend our sympathy to Lyda Radisch on the passing of her brother, Ralph Kendie, of Royal Oak, Mich., on July 22. 4 STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK I guess some things are just more noticeable in the summer with everyone getting around more and the windows usually open. The open windows have brought an unwelcome guest in the form of extremely obnoxious qdors of burning garbage. Sure is the crowning touch to a nice evening. Even though it is dark, some things just can't be hidden and garbage burning, which incidentally is against the law isn't one of the better good neighbor policies. Get-well wishes to Terry Licastro who was taken to Mc- Henry hospital early Sunday evening following am accident in which her bicycle was struck by a car. She received many cuts and possible broken bones. She could probably use a few cards to cheer her upF Art and Gladys Hafer are back tome after a terrific trip through the Southland. After leaving their old favorite Mountain Home, they toured Austin, Texas, and sawthecapitol. In San Antonio they visited Hemisfair and the Alamo battleground. The Farmers Market and the Lone Star Brewery with many old memorabilia of Texas history were highlights. They also visited the San Jose Mission before going on to Houston where they saw, the giant eighth wonder of the world. They were completely impressed by the size of the Astrodome which sounds extremely impressive statistic-wise but is really overwhelming when you're really there. They attended a night time soccer game while they were there. In Galveston they saw the Manned Space center and visited the fishing wharves out Seawall Drive where the shrimp boats were a -comin'. They took advantage of the opportunity to partake of a freshly caught seafood dinner which sounded pretty tasty. The battleship, USS Texas of World War I and n fame was on display and open to the public. They wound up the trip with a visit to New Orleans where they took a tour of the French Quarter and that would put the proper finishing touch on any trip. All in all they had a great trip which they took with friends from South Holland. They really put the air conditioning in the car to good use down there. Glad to have them home again. Patti Shabow was the hostess at her birthday party in honor of her eighth birthday on July 24.

They started off with a picnic at Porcupine camp grounds near the Continental Divide and then went on to Frontier Town and visited the Charles Russell museum. They spent the weekend on a ranch visiting with relatives and if the west has been tamed it sure doesn't sound like it! Therewasn't any water as they were in . the process of drilling a new well, so back to primitive living. They had a great time playing Tarzan in the barn, springing from the lofts on a rope and away we go. They visited the Sodbusters Museum near there and saw herds of antelope while driving. Ray had a ball riding on the tractor and Ruth had a differ kind of thrill with,a driving li son in the middle of a field, the only comment from her instructor was that it was an experience alright! After that they returned to Helena where they commenced with their sight seeing. They drove to Canyon Ferry Dam and saw deer and a small forest fire on the way. Lyle, Ruth and Ray climbed Mount Helena and brought back a rock as a memory of that experience. They capped the trip with a train ride to the State Capitol where they toured the government buildings and made a phone call from the .Governors reception office. The last place on their agenda was a visit to Maryville Ghost Town where they found tombstones in the cemetery dating back to 1805 and make with antique square nails. That was the end there wasn't any more and the train ride back was it, with only an tour and fifteen minute delay this time. They took lots of movies and are looking forward to enjoying their trip again through them. Dorothy and Rudy Lensehave been entertaining two of Rudy's nieces from Germany who have been visiting here. Sure tope they enjoyed their stay. Helen Strandquist is back tome after spending four delightful days in St. Joseph, Mich, with friends, Mr. and Mrs. V. Pitlik.

Because the same duct ° system that heats your home can cool with gas just as easily. (Something to keep in mind if you're building a new home and want it to stay modern.) Once you buy the missing half of gas central air conditioning, you'll have the most comfortable cooling system known. Because gas central air conditioning not only cools... but dehumidifies, too. So call us. Hear about our 5-year payment plan, free 5-year service warranty, and low summer rates. If you want to switch to clean, versatile gas--we'll even finance the conversion with your heating contractor. See? Your gas heating system has no excuse for not having anything to do this summer.
