TOURING ENGLAND with I la Hogan On May 22 we drove to Bury St. Edmunds the largest town near to Mildenhall -- This town was once known as St. Edmunds Burrough -- burrough means town. On the way we went through five or six small villages each with its lovely old church - The East Anglia area was known for its prosperity from the wool of the sheep in Saxon times - the churches are often referred to as the "Wool Churches". They can easily be distinguished from other areas by the square stone towers and look more like forts rather than churches. It was Market day in Bury St. Edmunds -- we walked through the farmers market where there are some permanent buildings for the hogs, chickens, etc., that are brought in by farmers for auction -- also open tables for farm tools, old furniture, etc. -Then in the town square about two blocks from the Farmer's Market-traveling merchants set up tables with canvas over some to display their wares -- everything imaginable is sold - cheeses, fruits, vegetables, fabrics, ready-made clothing, toys, china, leather, etc. -- quite often you can find a real bargain -- and the produce is the freshest anywhere. We went through a large department store on our way to a restaurant where we were to have lunch and was I surprised to see that they sold everything in the grocery line too - even fresh meats. Our lunch was a typical Englishmen's lunch (their heavy meal is at 1 or 2 p.m. rather than at night) ~ we had plaice and chips, salad, wine and coffee -- plaice is similar to trout and very good. On May 23 we drove Mildenhall to get mor^sterling for shopping ^-^we were planning to visit the town of Ely but ended up with a dead battery on Mary's car. Earl was on alert at the base and the base service truck was out so we spent an afternoon walking around the base and reading in the car until we finally got help. We did manage to get home but the car had to go back to the base garage and Mary ended up without her car for a couple of days which slowed us up a bit. t On May 24 Mary had to pre- bowl a game as we were leaving the next day on our trip to the continent -- she managed to get her car in the afternoon to do some grocery shopping and get us to the late afternoon train as we felt it better to stay in London on Friday night as we had to leave from London Central at 7 a.m. Saturday for Dover. We took a train down to London from Shippea Hill station about 4 miles from RAF Mildenhall. The gates on the tracks are hand opened with a station master on duty 24 hours. It really surprised me to see the man come down out of his little tower and open the gates! We arrived in London about 7:30 and took the famous underground to the nearest stop to our hotel. After lugging our heavy suitcases to the street level we found out that we were given bad information and had to go back up again! We were pretty tired by the time we got to our hotel - we were happy to iust have a quick dinner in the hotel dining room and then take a bath and get to bed -- It was really a shame that we were so tired as we were right next to Buckingham Palace! On May 25 we had breakfast in our room and then over to the train station where our tour was starting. The lines or queues were so long and we had to stand in line until our train left for Dover at 8:15. We met some very interesting people in our compartment from Singapore and a lovely lady from Yorkshire, England, who gave Mary many ideas about family trips for her family while they are in England. It was about a one and a half hour train ride to Dover - we boarded the ship for Ostend -- it wiis particularly crowded but we did get seats on the top deck and had a lovely view of the white cliffs of Dover as we sailed away -- they don't look as white when you are close but are lovely from further out at sea. The crossing was much longer than we had expected, about four hours - but was very smooth. The food on board was very simple and quite expensive --an apple was 50 cents - a glass of orangeade was 40 cents. We arrived in y sunshine around 2 p.m. Our motOFsCoach met us at the dock and weNwere soon on our way to Brussels for dinner and the night. Our first stop was kind of disappointing - the hotel was old and construction of an underground in t/ie street .immiii Ẑ peciaL 11 x 15 WHITE C0RNIN6 PORTABLE COUNTER SAVER MANY USES *C75 J Plu Plus Tax WHILE THEY LAST GLAVIANO'S INTERIORS & Palatine Millwork 414 SO.

McHenry Shores Viscounts (by Bob Wiles and Sandra Betancourt) This week the Viscounts traveled to Mar ian Central high school to take part in the ceremonies opening the Miss W o o d s t o c k P a g e a n t Wednesday evening. The rest of the week was spent preparing for the VFW state competition. We have a busy weekend ahead of us starting Friday night with a parade in DesPlaines, Saturday morning preliminary contest and inspection, and hopefully, finals competition Saturday evening. The corps then will be traveling to Kankakee for another contest Sunday evening. Many people are not aware of our parent organization that meets the first Monday evening of every month at 8 p.m. This group of parents and boosters is the mainstay of our corps. We are hoping to enlarge the amount of Boosters this year in our travels and have boosters at all of our contests to cheer the corps on. Anyone interested in joining our Booster club can contact either Glen Blank, president, Marty Ehlen, vice- president, or Melinda Adams, our secretary, at 385-6982. This week's Viscount of the week is Tom Morris. Tom has been with us for four years. He started as a baritone and is now playing contra bass. Tom's nickname is Maurice. Release All 3-Letter Prefix License Plates Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett said that the list of all three letter prefix 1975 Illinois license plates would be released on or before July 20. "We had hoped to release the list around the middle of June but we had far more requests for new combinations than we anticipated," Howlett said. The three-letter prefixed plates were issued for the first time in 1974 with a limited number of combinations distributed. "No more combinations will be added to the 1975 list," Howlett explained. "We have delayed making the final decision until the last possible time to give everyone an opportunity to send in new combinations." Special requests and reassignment numbers for 1975 may be ordered from Aug. 1 through Sept. 30 along with pre­ print applications which will be mailed to all registered owners. No applications will be accepted uhtil this period. CYCLONE IS COMING TO Jos.H.Huemann & SONS WELL DRILLING SIP6WAIKSALE!

CREEK DREDGING In the event that you have not noticed or were wondering about all the activity taking place at the site of the creek it is the State of Illinois, Department of Waterways dredging the creek from Broadway east to the Fox river. The process will continue for at least two weeks until the project is completed. It is asked that all parents instruct your children to remain away from the area. This is very heavy equipment, so for the safety of all concerned, we would appreciate it if you would instruct your children as to the danger of playing in this area.
