The mystery of Steve Huaka, Jr*a. missing pair of panta was solved last Saturday when therese bered loaning them, to "Obbc^ Brocken one cold day in December. It so happened that on that eoM day the seams in Chock's pants fan way as he reached for what looked like a dime on the floor of a WAF bus enroute to Woodstock. Therese, a passenger on the bus, noticed his embarrassment and, being a kind hearted soul, offered him the use of Steve's trousers which she was taking home from the cleaners. This incident was soon forgotten by the charitable Therese and was only brought to her mind when Steve decided on a Change at 10:57 last Saturday A. M. "Bring back the pants Chuck and all is forgiven." That's Steve's message to you. . ^ Otto Pyritz found that first steft off his front porch a high one early Sunday morning. As he picked him- , self up out of the mud he wondered l if his legs had suddenly shrunk and' being an inseam surveyor by profession, he instinctively dug into his vest pocket for his measuring tape and slide rule. After twenty minutes of grinding on his cranium gears he deduced that the all-nigh^ rain had washed away about a foot of his real estate onto his neighbors yard. Now if the Schmaus boys would only delay their pilgrimage for another week. this would give Otto enough time to retrieve it. Mr. "and Mrs. Winfield Pietsch left for Frederickstown, Mo., at noon last Sunday where they will attend the funeral of Geosge McCarty, father of our Pearl, who passed away at 3 a. m. on Sunday at the age of 78. Our deepest sympathy to the Pietsches. ATTENDED ANNUAL CONFERENCE Mrs. Robert Krinn, president of the McHenry unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, joined represemtstives of the over 800 units in Illinois Department of the American Lifio* Auxiliary. An alMay tar attended by over lflO* portwns was held at the Sherman hotel, Chic- S, on March 24. Other representees from McHenry wars Mra. Francis Patake, Mrs. Pearl Pietsch and Mrs. Era Bacon. Each department conference held throughout the United States is patterned after the National Patriotic Conference held recently in Washington, D. C., which was sponsored by over thirty women's organisations and attended by Illinois officers of the Auxiliary. The programs of the Americanism, National Defense and Pah American Study\ committees are specially stressed. The Chic Mr. and Mrs. John Rimell of Adrian, Mich., were weekend guests of the Frank Rourkes of Lake Shore Drive. Mrs. Allen Weber and Mrs. Frank , Turk and son, Robert, of Kenosha j enjoyed a pleasant visit with Mr. ' and Mrs. Alvin Blake last Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. George Harker and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Barber were among the many folks who enjoyed the weekend at their country homes. All'through the bowling season the boys on* the Roy-Al team depended on Frank Rpurke (their anchor man) to give them a boost when they needed it most Frank could always be depended on when the going was toughest but lately his enthusiasm and ability to Itfiock over the maples have taken a turn for the worse. (98 pins is nothing to brag about) His appearance at the alleys for last Thursday's match, wearing a pair of flannel gloves, made his team mates wonder if "Petunia," who is better known as number 35 on the Hickory Creek Farm's squirt parade, could give them an explanation for his lethargic behavior. ,* Congratulations To Judith Struck on her tenth birthday anniversary, March 27.
