M. St. Peter s Church Hall Spring Grove, I I I Ml'>IC BY BOB "BEEF" FKEI'ND [ P n z e s a n d R e f r e s h m e n t s Dated this 1st day of October A.D., 1973 (Signed) Joseph B. Stanek Mayor Conservation Club Adds Chemicals To Kill Lake Weeds The McCullom Lake Con­ servation Club added chemicals to the West side of the lake to kill the large weeds plaguing the area. They have treated the lake for swimmers itch earlier this year. It should be noted that everyone surrounding the lake rpostly expects these necessary things, to be done without realizing1 who carries them out. The club: has been declining in mem­ bership and only six peoplel attended the last meeting. Yet there are hundreds who fish, swim and enjoy the water all year long! -- These chemicals will tem­ porarily clear some of the weeks, but more needs to be done. If you use or even care about the lake at all it is your duty to find time to support the people who want to make it a better place for all of us. Usually behind the scenes representatives do not ask to be congratulated. There are some of us who do appreciate all these efforts and want to keep our lake a beautiful place. Please try to attend the next scheduled meeting of the McCullom jLake Conservation Club, which will be the third Thursday in February. Make an effort to come and join in the fight to help our lake and save our environment. Inform your friends and neighbors too. GOOD DEED An anonymous good Samaritan of the community cut down high weeds and cold patched the roadhon the corner of Alton and Orchardway. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by those of us who use the road daily. More of our roads need a spot patch before the winter weather comes upon us. If you have access to some patch or could tell the association where you obtained your materials please contact our president, Bill Mohlman. It was a good job and will save a little wear on our cars.
