Sehrants, jc, Host, No. 612, American Legion, in CUthe of Bdito give you on this tire next week's 4*tha news of the Maaaorial Day. The late Ernie Pyle has written three hooks. In one of his books, entitled "Here H Your War;" he made reference to one Staff Sgt. R2y Aalto. Soma time later a syndicated article appeared in many papers in which> Ernie Pyle wrote as follows: -One the Me, now, earing for the j planes, bat before the I stack my nose in H-tj*. *«-*-*>. - en airwar he Her man.

He wishes his wife- could see him now." On reading this item we were tly impressed with Sgt. Aalto'a oity, and among oar many we hoped that some day we could meet up with this genius. Imagine the thrill we experienced when we met up with this grand GI Did You Know? Sixteen miles up it is 100 degrees below serof Bananas should never be stored in a refrigerator?

A hearty welcome to both of you grand folkkt Another reason to justify our boosting of MeCuDom Lake as the beet place on earth to live. Mr. and Mrs. George Harker will spend the next three weeks enjoying an early summer vacation at the Harker Manor. George ia that kind of a guy that can take his fish pole off the hook and say, MI*m going oat to get a few wall-eyes," and sure enough return an hour later with a few walleyee. His fame as a fisherman ia legend «£vith the folks of McCullom Lake. How he does it wa have yet to learn. Due to the seat shortage George has inder with orders for fish. We can plainly see that his next three weeks will he the most nrafttaMe ones in his young life. Pat us down for a herring or two, George.'; Here ia a story on Ed. and Grate Walton and their heating stove. After forty same odd years Ed. finally decided that he wasn't being fair to Grace as it was Grace's warm back that famished the heat for his cold tootsies. That east iron critter in their living room Just didn't have the capacity to furnisne enough heat In spite of its shortcomings, Ed. loved that hunk of iron, but then Grace's repeated complaints caused Ed. to purchase a new floor furnace. To make room for the new fangled thing-a-ma-jig Ed. had to move his old heater. His problem was what to do with tiiis old horse that had served him so faithfully - all these years! He decided to retire it to a cozy corner in his garage. It was a difficult task for one man to dislodge such a huge hunk of iryrn that had so deeply been entrench&T in their parlor rug. Somehowe Ed. managed to move it to the desired spot, and as he turned around to get a canvas covering to protect it from dust and termites something happened thatj even Ed. can't explain. The old stove just fell over on its face and broke itself in a thousand pieces and that, folks, accounts for the sad and pussled expression fid. has been wearing this past week.. Irwin Schmidt, Mc Henry's foremost tonsorial artist, and his charming Mrs. were among the many outof- town guests to enjoy what McCullom Lake had to offer over the weekend.

If you have worn a uniform in World War II consider yourself an invited guest. Don't forget the date, June 22. This week we welcomed Robert Struck home after his discharge from the navy. Robert's name will also appear on the list of graduates at the McHenry high school. He interrupted his education when he enlisted in the navy in March, 1944. His six month course at the University 6f Idaho and his two years of service overseas have earned him more than enough credits for his diiloma. Our congratulations to you, The McCullom Lake Wildcats now taken over by our returned servicemen were no match for the Richmond team in last Sunday's game. The final score was 16 to 3 in favor of Richmond. Looks like the soft easy life our boys enjoyed while in the service has softened them up a bit. Come on you Wildcats, get the lead oat of your astigmatism and play ball. When you read the long list of birthday celebrants for June you will undoubtably agree with us that Bill Shakespeare was all wet when he said that it was in the spring time that a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love.

Way lock In 1912--thirty-four years ago--127 northern Illinois farmers blew out lampa and lanterns for the last time ... started flipping switches to flood their homes and barns with safe, electric light. By 1925, more than 800 miles of rural electric lines were serving 1000 customers; and at the end of 1935, almost 9,000 farmers on 2,800 miles of power fines were enjoying the numerous benefits of electricity. Came 1943 and nearly 20,000 farmers were using power to make Canning easier and more profitable. Milk Taste Tastes and odors in milk art it- | lated to ita quality.

Over these electrical highways travel the kilowatts that kick up farm production and profits ... cut down work... make daily living more convenient and comfortable on 26,973 farms and rural units. ; The Pswtr That Flows through these lines comes from same infffironmrtrd sources that not only supplied the farmers with muchneeded help during war years,, but also met th« tremendous wartime power demands of hundreda of war industries. As A Consequence of careful planning and increased facilities, there is today, as there was during the war years, a reservoir of electric power--the mod* era tool of agriculture--that enables the farmer to save more pigs -- produce more eggs... add more cows to his herd ... get more milk--and keep it at < top quality. It's a "wired" hand that neither sleep# nor tires--it's a willing worker that does the job-- faster.. . better... cheaper. There Are Now 30,041 farms and rural units in the area served by this company. 26,973 of them already have electricity or have contracted for it. Obviously, then our goals this year are two: to stretch rural power lines to the most remote farms and supply every farmer with *11 the power he wants and needs... to help him get the most benefit from it. And most important--to do both as quickly as possible in order that he may eqjoy at its very beat. • '* -03 t; if:j ; «3-' , y>4<:¥; i i »USLK •IBVUI CQMFAMT ^-utig'H^rdP*'
