RECREATION HOUR -- A test game of volleyball is always good for the figure, as these young ladies find out first hand, at Villa Maria camp, Pi stake© Bay. It's also fun, providing one of the favorite diversions at the Catholic Charity camp, which opened recently. PLAINDEALER PHOTO MCCULLOM LAKE NEWS BONNIE MORRIS 385-0941 SANTA CLAUS VISITS VILLAGE EN ROUTE NORTH Can you imagine the ques­ tions some parents are being asked after their children saw Santa Claus last Thursday at one of our local establishments. Santa was on his way back to the North Pole and happened to stop here in the village. Chil­ dren who witnessed this scene Congratulations to them as they start this life together. FORMER RESIDENTS SEND WISHES Last Saturday the Shigleys were surprised and happy with a telephone call from Chet and Gert Helwig. The He 1 wigs, long time residents of McCullom Lake, moved from our shores 4 years ago to Millbrae, Calif. They want to extend their very best wishes to all of their friends back here. Chet has been were Laura Bitterman, Sandy, hospital this past year, Deborah, Jeanette, and Dennis Straumann, and Matt Levesque. I know it has been cold, but gee whiz! Even Santa Claus is confused! _ t LITTLE LEAGUE The Tigers are off to a«'roar- ing" start this year, winning the first two games of the sea­ son. On Tuesday last week they squeaked past the- Braves 8-7 in a thrilling game. The Ti­ gers had jumped off to a 4-0 lead, but the Braves came back to tie it up and then to go ahead. In the last inning, the Tigers came back to tie it up, and then came up with the win­ ning run, just before a play was ;made at second base for the third out. One of the highlights of this game was when one of the Tigers hit a ball to left field, ; where young Mike White, ^Braves, was playing. Mike, in •his first year and first game of Little League determinately ran 'towards the ball, then stopped, ^ looked down and there in his 'glove was the ball. I don't think *he believes it yet. A proud mo- •ment for all. | On Thursday July 26, it was definitely Tiger Day, as they 'beat the Cubs 15-5. More scores next week. Umpires are needed, >if interested contact Elaine Gleeson at 385-0615.

Lots has happened in the two months since I last submitted a column. And aren't you lucky to have such a talented young woman, Mrs. Bonnie Morris, doing the reporting? With your support, she can continue to do a fine job for organizations, the vil­ lage, and all of you. JEFF BACK TO VIETNAM: For the past month, we have been enjoying every moment of Lance Cpl. Jeff's company. He arrived home Memorial Day and has brightened every day with a million thoughtful ges­ tures. He left O'Hare airport at 8:35 Tuesday morning for the flight to Travis Air Force Base and the return journey to Viet­ nam. Our family is now re­ duced to Jake, Matt, and me. Mightly lonesome because Jake is gone most of the time. GOVERNOR'S REPRESEN­ TATIVE: Jake was authorized by Governor Richard Ogilvie to represent him at S.I.U. for the dedication of the University's new airport. It was a thrilling experience for Jake who holds the position of Assistant Direc­ tor of Aeronautics for the state. Since assuming his duties in March, he has been to Washing­ ton D.C., Kansas City, Mo., and Denver , Colo., on state business. STUDYING UP A STORM: SecondVLt. Chrys, our daugh­ ter in tte U.S.A.F. is deep in studies laving to do with com­ munications. She is based at Goodfellow A.F.B., San Angelo, Texas, and enjoying her work and her friends. She called home Sunday morning to bid farewell to her brother. > CRISES, TORNADOES, AND FUN! Our young Deedee, who will be entering her junior year at McHenry high is having the time of her life, attending spec­ ial classes at the University of /Kansas. Last week, Lewis Hall was on tornado alert which caused a stir of excitement, > which is very familiar to all of us. Fortunately, they weren't in danger. Another crises oc­ curred when two young people were stuck in a balky elevator and it was sometime before they were extricated. Deedee has been enjoying her courses, chums, and just about every­ thing except the food. Says she misses Mom's cooking. She wrote in time to bid farewell to her brother. She will be home, Sunday, July 27. WEDDING BELLS:, Last weekend, Theodore Olsen, Mar­ gie and Ole's second son, ex­ changed nuptial vows with Miss Janice Eva Beaumont, daugh­ ter of Col. and Mrs. Allen Bea- mont, Belleville, 111. Their re­ ception was held in the Officer's Club, Scott Air Force Base. The entire family was invited but most of us were unable to make the.journey. Marge, Ole, Tom and young Margie attended - from the groom's family, in­ cluding paternal grandparents, Sally and Papa Olsen. They re­ ported the wedding as just beau­ tiful and we wish Jan and Ted every happiness. They will be residing in Milwaukee. MIRACULOUS RECOVERY: So many of you wonderful dears have inquired about the health ' of sister--Theresa Schultz--I feel a bulletin is in order. Since her release from the Wood­ stock Residence, she has made tremendous strides in recover­ ing her health. She is just about completely self-sufficient. What help she needs is forth­ coming from husband, Will, and children--Lynne and Len Ben­ son. Everything is "coming up roses" in that department and we couldn't be happier for them. The Schultzes and the senior Olsens (Papa and Sally) recently returned from a cold and fish- less vacation jo Wisconsin. It was great for the four of them to get away, but miserable weather and no fish left them disconsolate. They are consol­ ing themselves by building a super dooper recreation room ^..where their outdoor patio used • to be. MATT AND MOM: Fortunate­ ly for us, we still have Matt at home. He has been amusing himself since school let out with swimming and little league. His ball playing has improved and ditto his swimming. He is hop­ ing to attend day camp for at least one week. Since his big brudder has been home, he has been well entertained, but that ceased, as of Tuesday. Also en­ joyed an overnight visit with his "cousin" Kevin Rourke. This former scribe has been busy working at the usual location, savoring every moment of JefP s being home, and a quick trip to V V • \ ' ~ the State Capitol, recently. We visited the State Legislature in session, visited with the Gov­ ernor and William Scott, and met a friend from 24yearsago. When Jake and I were first married, he was stationed in Indiana and myself in New Or- ^ leans. Not ideal for newlyweds; William Norton of Red Key.Ind., improved conditions by taking this second class mech for a few trips to the Hoosier State. By coincidence, he was in Sprigfiekl the same weekend we were, checking on his instru­ ment instructor's rating. He read the name on the door, rec­ ognized Jake, and the three of us had a terrific reunion. Truly a very small world. Thanks to Bonnie and the Plaindealer for letting me sub­ mit this bulletin. She is doing a great job and deserves your complete cooperation. Bye for now, and a happy and delightful Fourth of July to all. Sin­ cerely--Eve Levesque.
