GET-WELL WISHES Get-we 11 wishes to Ann Albergo who returned home recently from a stay in the hospital. Mrs. Albergo reminds us once again of the friendly ' spirit of the people of Wonder Lake when she told us of all the kind things so many have done for her since her hospitalization. Hope your days in the future are filled with sunshine and good health, Mrs. Albergo. ARIZONA VACATION The Kelseys, Bill ahd Karen, and fair haired daughter, Erin, recently departed from rainy -Oakwood Shores and flew to sunny Tucson, Ariz., to visit with Karen's folks, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pedersen. While there, they toured the beautiful national parks and national monuments in Tucson. A side tilp to Mexico included dinner at El Cid's restaurant, unique because it is located in a cave. Listening to Mexican musicians strumming their* guitars, the Kelseys sampled Mexican type foods, one of which was green turtle soup which Karen described as "super". . NEWLYWEDS Miss Judy Ellen Blucher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blucher, 3515 Thompson road, Wonder Lake, and Jef­ frey C. Petersen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Favero, 8911 Memory Trail, Wonder Lake were married on Sept. 23, at Christ the King church, Wonder Lake.

Members are asked to start thinking about what items they would like to make for the bazaar. Parishioners of the church are also reminded about the annual Thanksgiving clothing drive. Now is the time to start setting aside clean, usable clothing for the drive. SMALLTOWN LIVING Just when I was almost convinced that everybody likes to see their name in print, one gal who hails from Chicago became rather indignant when I wanted to write some news about her family. "Good Heavens!", she said, "I can't get used to this small town living. In Chicago, we have to die to get our name in the paper!" VISIT NEW YORK When Dr. Santo Ruggero and his charming wife, Mary, were in New York City recently to receive his degree as a specialist in family practice, they also spent a few hours seeing some of the sights of fun city. For instance, they walked on the most expensive real estate in the world, $600-sq. foot - where? on Wall Street. Other attractions were the Cultural Center where they viewed some impressive art work, a ride on the subways which is an ex­ perience all its own, a visit to Macy's - world's largest department store, a climb all the way up the skinny steps of the Statue of Liberty, a tour of the United Nation's Building, a visit to a cemetery right in the middle of the city with graves dating back to 1763 and signs that implore "Please" don't feed the pigeons!, and a smorgasbord of good eating adventures including Scan- danavian, Jewish, Russian and Japanese cookery. LOVE STORY I guess it must be true - I'm different. Erich Segal's novel "Love Story" had been a fantastic best seller and when I read it I thought, this is the best writing in America today? This rather small, rather dirty, rather ineffectual story of two people whose personalities really turn me off? Then the movie came to T.V. Curiosity got the best of me and I wat­ ched the flick. Again I was disappointed. The six han­ dkerchiefs I had ready went back into the drawers, still clean. Me, who cries at com­ mercials, Marcus Welby and most any soap opera. What is it anyhow? Maybe love means never having to cry unless it's about someone who can touch your heart and make your life just a little bit better or a little more meaningful for having done it. It seems to me that on occasion the American public has been fooled. As I sit here alone with my thoughts, my third cup of coffee and my dry eyes, I can't help wondering if Mr. Segal is related in any way to Clifford Irving.

"Strong Express" is the largest combined land, sea and air exercise ever held by the allied countries of the North Atlantic Treaty organization. Coast Guard Petty Officer First Class Harold D. Vycital, Find Answers To Problems In New Library Books Answers to some of the problems of our changing society, how to adjust and find the happiness all are looking for, are to be found in these new books at the McHenry-Nunda Township Library on Lily Lake Road. "A Nation of Strangers", by Vice Packard, our mobile society; "The Brothers System for Liberated Love and Marriage." by Dr. Joyce Brothers; "The Second Wife" by Jean Baer, how to live happily with a man who has been married before ; Becoming Partners: Marriage and its Alternatives" by Carl R. Rogers. The library is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 2 to 6; and Thursday from 2 to 8 p.m. "MOVIETIME" IN LAKEMOOR Friday evening will be "Spook Night", that is not the title of the film, that is the description of the program plus cartoons. For those of you that have not heard, the Friday night movies are supervised by four or five adults and approximately seventy children and a few adults attend them every week. Some children have begun causing disturbances during the movies. If this continues the Friday evening programs will come to an end. If your children attend unescorted and sit quietly this is fine but on the other hand if yours are the ones who get noisy and rowdy they will spoil it for everyone who would like to enjoy the movies. So, parents caution your children and ask them to • cooperate for the enjoyment of everyone there. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Donors this past week were: - Thelma Massheimer, Rita Christianson, Todd Kunz, Eddy Lou Phernetton, Connie O'Rourke, Donald Vornkahl, Toni Yerkes, Bobby Betan- court, and Violet Nixon. When Lakemoor held its corn roast one ingenious youngster polished and decorated stones and sold them, then donated the money he raised, to pay for last Friday's film, which cost him $22.50. His name is Billy Garbacz. He is commended for that very unselfish thing he did. Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Vycital,Sr., of 2809 N. Spring Road, McHenry, was initiated into the Mysterious Realm of Borealis Rex, designating hini a "polar bear," during traditional ceremonies at the Arctic Circle aboard the Coast Guard Icebreaker Edisto. His ship crossed into the Arctic to assist in a scientific project 600 miles from the North Pole.

ON THE SICK LIST Louie Schueler is the only one on our sick list this week and I hope by this printing he will be feeling much better. IN CLOSING It is very discouraging when someone makes plants to better some areas, by cleaning it up. A request was put in this column for volunteers to come out to the beach on Rte. 120 to help rake it up. In case you are in­ terested NO ONE came out on the scheduled date. It is a shame that people can't get interested in their own com­ munity. See you next week. Capybaraa, the worid's largest living rodents, sometime weigh as much as 15( sounds. Ohooooo I cAn tow you easy. Lucky's just gave it a tune-up. LUCKY'S Citgo Sendee 385-9787 "Just uast ot the Bridge; On Rte. 120"
