Another week has passed And I hope I have some, items of interest for you. About our Hew "organization" and the plans we j have made ioi the Young People's j club. We haven't heard from any of the boys or girls but we expect to in the near future.' When we do i receive replies from our Service girls and boys in response to our request, tfcey will be entered one a week in; this column. More about the Young People's j Club. They wflt work hand in hand! with the officers and members of the; association. When our young folks give dances and parties we expect i support from the older folks. ' Nowj I know what you older folks are1 thinking, young people plari all thej fun and we spend all our time and j money. But, ah! I've a surprise for i you. Tlie .money collected for all af fairs will be turned into your treas- i ury for future improvements to be made on West Shore Beach. Surprised? I thought you'd be. But, arid of course there always is a but-- the concessions such as ice cream, cake, pop, hot dogs, etc., that will be for the young people's treasury. The money collected will be used to i put swings and other amusements on the beach for the young tots of j West Shore Beach, In 1939 West Shore Beach McCul-' lorn L^ke, wasn't a very scenic spot, there were only a few summer homes scattered hither and yon. But 1944 tells a different story, we are an up and coming subdivision. More folks are building permanent homes or converting their summer homes into all year round residences. That. speaks well for McCullom. Lake and | McHenry township. I George (Red) Nugent, one of the: recent recruits of the U. S. N-., is expected home sofon, and our little Patty is anxious to see him in navy" blue.

Frank has been a "North Western" cat inspector for years--an alert, keen-eyed workman who pride® himself on doing a thorough job. • \ Frank's thoughts, these days, are largely with his boys, especially the four in service. Harry, the oldest, is the family's . representative in the Navy--he's an aviation radio technician* Raymond and Arnold enlisted for service with the Marines. Raymond is somewhere in the South Pacific; Arnold at present is at Pearl Harbor. Corporal Jerry favored the Army. He first went to Africa, then saw service in Sicily, then moved on to Italy where he was seriously wounded in the Battle of Cassino. He's no^recuperating in this country. Wonder if yon feel as we doTabouAhe Xagolan family. Somehow they seem to exemplify the spirit of the thousands of other families whose boys have gone into service. While the older folks are doing what they can on the home front, their uniformed sons are overseas, moving determinedly forward toward victory. "North Western" families are represented on fighting fronts all over the world. To say we are proud el them is putting it mildly. eRvtfi* Ant«!CA Aiifr maci OR ALMOST A qgflTUKV Wegner is doing her share to help win the war on the home front.

"It's true of lots of things in this war, Eben. Every day we hear of new tactics and requirements and new uses of products. For instance, take the alcohol that is used for war purposes. In World War 1, this vitally needed product was used mostly in making; smokeless powder, chemical warfare materials and medical supplies. Today it must do fer more... it must provide the base for such Indispensable products as synthetic rubber, Shatterproof glass, lacquers, plastics and many other of our requirements so essential to victory. "As a result hundreds of millions of gallons are required every year... half of which fe being produced by the beverage distilling industry. Bet you didn't know that, Eben."
