I* AGE 4 - PLAIMiKALKK 1KIDAYJULY 19.1974 Holiday Hills Karen Kottke 385-6675 Muscular Dystrophy Carnival Prows Most Successful On Saturday, July 13, several of our area children held a backyard carnival for the muscular dystrophy campaign. Interesting and imaginative forms of entertainment insured the carnival's success. Games such as Bozo buckets, penny pitching and water balloon throwing were enjoyed by the participants. The youths even provided a fortune teller for those seeking an advanced outlook on life. ftie children involved in the endeavor were Gina and Diane Boettcher, Jay and Margie Wise, Julie Mahon,^ Mark Boettcher, Carl and Tom Gargulinski, Becky Lonergan, Sharon Heathscott, Sally, Don and Wally Foreman. This group is grateful to Mrs. Heathscott for her inexhaustible aid with this project. lliese kids put in many, many hours planning, preparing game booths, executing the event, and cleaning up afterward. They tend to underestimate the amount of work they themselves put into the project. They deserve a great deal of thanks also for their efforts. LITTLE LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME On Wednesday, July 10, the Island Lake Little League all- stars met in fierce competition with the Burton-Richmond all- stars. The game, which went into extra innings, ended in the ninth with a final score of 10 to 7. Congratulations to the Burton-Richmond team; you can be sure that the Island Lake Little Leaguers will be back for another shot at the all- stars again next year.

TOURING ENGLAND WITH ILA On Sunday, May 26, we were called to breakfast across the street at the hotel restaurant - Breakfast was typical continental type-hard rolls, butter, marmalade or jelly and very strong coffee-most people have their coffee half and half (half milk and half coffee). They often just pour both at the same time-when they do ask they will say "Do you want it black or white?"

Rte. 120 McHenry 385-0048 At 9:15 we left on a city tour - f Brussels, a city of 14 million - mostly French Catholic N is a - world trade center. Center of the European Common Market, - it had the first railway station- 50 percent of the people speak French - 30 percent Flemish and the remaining is a mixture. Brussels was never bombed during the war so there are many old buildings. When the Germans came in 1940 there wai no resistance, later when the Allied forces came there was no resistance as the Germans had moved out - so with no destruction there is an abundance of housing. We saw many of the remaining permanent buildings from the World's Fair of 1958 held in Brussels. The Atonium, nine huge silver balls looking something like a huge jack was so interesting - there is now a lovely restaurant in the top ball. There are beautiful gardens around many of the pavillions - the Chinese Pagoda was so colorful. The Palace of Justice, a memorial of the fipst World War, was impressive. There was a large special memorial depicting the friendship between Belgium and the British which to this day is kept up by the British community in Brussels. Around the Parliament buildings there was an unusual wall made by trimming the trees in a flat strange way to make a flat lattice effect that was so pretty. We also noticed how almost every building had wrought iron balconies on all the windows. In the center of the city was a small park divided into forty- eight different gardens with a statue in each garden showing forty-eight different trades of the country. We also saw the Flea market and a fifteenth century building which was once a trade center for the city. The famous statue Mannekin Pis of the King's Son was much smaller than we expected. At noon or shortly after we went back to the same hotel restaurant for lunch, which was a large salad with boiled egg, cheese, bean and pea salad, one half barbecued chicken, French fries, peas, apricot pie. After lunch we headed for the Netherlands - reached the border about 3 p.m. and stopped to exchange money - we now had four kinds of money - Dutch kroner or guilders, Belgium francs, English pounds and pence and some good old U.S. green! Right after the stop for money changes we stopped at a tea room where we had beer, fruit yogurt which we thought was Spanish cream, coke, etc. Shortly after this stop we crossed the River Rhine - which we crossed many times later on. Then we reached Rotterdam - - saw many facilities for boat repairing - the largest repair port in the world.1 Drove through Rotterdam seeing some of the capital highlights and then on the Schevenigen - dinner and our hotel which was just lovely - a balcony that overlooked the North Sea - huge spacious room which even had a kitchenette with soft drinks, beer, and sherry stocked in the refrigerator - big swivel chairs - sofa, etc. We were so impressed with this hotel and were glad to hear that we would come back from Amsterdam the next day and stay there a second night - the restaurant was a glass modern one on the roof top and was as lovely as our room - the food was good (veal cutlets, beans, potatoes, fruit compote - Rose wine) and we were very happy with our second stop. After dinner we visited the famous Maturdon miniature village - A grieving father began the project in 1945 when his only son was killed - it now shows all the important places in Rotterdam and has many moving things such as ferries, fire boats, etc. Even the Airport had several planes taxiing - several people water skiing on Dattf and they are open for public scrutiny at <Published July 19, 1974) McHenry, 111. 112-587-5490 ON FOX LAKE, STANTON POINT RD. SUNDAY IS "FUN NIGHT" NO ADMISSION the 5x10 ft. lake - milk factory with the inch bottles moving along the bottling line ~ it was •fascinating to see the detail that has gone into the city - Although the first buildings were done by the one man he eventually donated these to the rib and now this park belongs to the city and he has directed the additions for years. After the miniature city we visited the American Embassy, Hall of Justice - the original King's Hunting Lodge where the first government in their country was formed, viewed the large statue of William of Orange, founder of the country. Although it was night many of the buildings were illuminated brightly and the courtyards were beautiful at night -- often the cobblestoned sidewalks were lined with flowers. Ila keep this story coming it is very interesting and we're sure everyone is enjoying it as much as we are printing it. •A HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS McHenry State Bank Resources Top 70 Million The McHenry State bank this week announced that the bank's total resources reached $70,046,174.84, thus enabling it to maintain its leadership as McHenrycofcnty's largest financial institution. It was on May 12, 1971, that resources reached in excess of $50,000,000, reflecting a 29 percent increase in less than three years. This tremendous growth is due to many things, but primarily due to the confidence the entire community has placed in the bank. The McHenry State bank has been serving the public for sixty-eight years. ARTS-CRAFTS FESTIVAL The fourth annual Arts and Crafts festival to be held at the Northpoint shopping center, located on Rand road (Rount 12) between Palatine roads (Willow road) and Arlington Heights road, in Arlington Heights, will take place Sunday, July 21.
