Thursday, June 23, 1955 THE MeHENBT PLAINDEALER & Wonder Lake News By Vanesse Sells Bed Cross Water Safety Wonder Lake recorded its first drowning victim" of 1955 -- Peggy Walker, 5, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Walker of Indian Ridge. Services for the little girl, who drowned Monday afternoon at the Wonder. Center beach, were held at Christ the King church this morning. Drowning is called "the most needless of all deaths" by officialdom -- because it is so easy to prevent. Just teach each child the simple rules of, water safety. , t The' annual summer Red Cross 'water Safety program for Wonder Lake starts with registration at two beaches Monday morning. It is free, it is taught by experts, and it is easily available fOB every child. Water safety lessons this year may save the lives of the children who take them. Registration at the North •Beach in Indian Ridge is from 9 to 10 o'clock Monday morning and at the Silver Beach in Wonder Woods from 10 to 11. Any child interested is eligible for the program. Nancy Swanson of Wonder Lake will serve as life guard at 'r'the beaches during water safety instruction, which will be given by a Red Cross certified instruc- - tor. Nancy is a product of the Red Cross water programs in that she received her initial instructions on the beaches at Wonder Lake and later received lifeguard training at Woodstock with a Red Cfoss class. The water safety is paid for by money donated by the ^people of Wonder Lake and is intended to save lives. To do so, there must be cooperation of the people. Lawsuit in Court A lawsuit between Grover j^Wickline of Wonder Lake and Harry and Florence Hunt of Coldwater, Mich., was declared a mis-trial and re-set for hearing by Judge William Carroll Tuesday. The Hunts are, former Wonder Lake residents and are suing Wickline for $3,210 which they claim they invested in property - at Wonder Lake and then were unable to use for the purpose intended. According to the complaint, the Hunts bought a tract of land from Wickline in 1952 for $4,800 and Wickline agreed to build an ice cream and hamburger shop with living quarters in the rear for an additional $4,000. The • Hunts claim they were led to believe that the land was zoned for commercial use but that it was not so zoned and a petition for re-zoning was denied by the county zoning board of appeals. The land is still under a farming classification. The Hunts say they paid Wickline $1,000 and spent an additional $2,210 in improvements of the property. They are seeking a return of their money. The Hunts are now operating a riding academy at Coldwater. Mrs. Hunt says they have twenty- two ponies and riding horses. and Mrs. Ray Von Bampus, and her brother and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Von Bampus, are all residents of Florida.

HQ % CAMT THE NEWEST CARP GAME Don't believe it the next time someone tells you that Calypso is only a combination of Canasta and Bridge. Nothing could be farther from-the truth as you yourself will discover the very first time you play the game. Calypso, of course, is the exciting new card galne c u r - r e n t 1 y sweeping the country which gives each player his own personal trump s u i t and is^ played with four decks o f c a r d s Shuffled tog e t h e r to form one giant pack. Conceived in the romantic island of Trinidad, Calypso has already been described by one well-known card expert as, the first really new card game since Whist. Whist first appeared way back in the sixteenth century. If this isn't enough to convince you that Calypso is an entirely new game, a few comparisons with Canasta and Bridge may help. How does Calypso differ from Bridge? For one thing, there is no bidding in Calypso. For another, there is no "dummy"; ell four players play etfery hand. But Calypso's biggest distinction is that it gives each player his own personal trump suM* determined at the beginning of'the game by drawing cards and unaltered by any of the cards received in ensuing deals. Calypso is a game in which tricks are taken, but unlike Bridge, the number, of tricks captured has no significance and they are frequently broken up in the process of forming Calypsos. Calypso also differs from Bridge in that no one suit ranks higher than another. What about Canasta? The games are similar in that the main object in Calypso is to complete as many Calypsos as possible during the four deals comprising a game. But yott cannot add to a Calypso (a complete run of 2, 3, 4, etc., up to the ac^ <*f your personal suit) by melding from your hand; you build the Calypsb only with cards in tricks won by you and your partner. There is no melding or discarding in Calypso, no wild cards or bonus cards; Jokers aren't even used. Perhaps the best news for most card fans is that a Calypso game is completed in )a half hour or less while a game of Canasta can sometimes run several hours. You can get a free, pocket-sized leaflet containing the complete rules for playing Calypso merely by sending a stamped, self-addressed envel; ope to Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17. SCOTCH HISTORY Many users of the handy Scotch tape have wondered why it is called Scotch. The story is that the manufacturers at first tried to save adhesive by putting it only on the edges of the cellophane. Customers complained that this must be a Scotch practice, and the name stuck.

Hbi HIGHLIGHTS OF FFA CONVENTION THRILL McHENRY YOUTH In addition to the chapter delegates. Dick Wissell and Mark Zimmerman, Ted Schaefer, secretary, Harry Diedrich, treasurer, Tom Blumhorst and Dave Buck accompanied William Pictor, adviser, to the twenty-seventh annual F.F.A. convention last week. The state convention is a good place to impress anyone from agriculture boys to the state goyernor .that the F.F.A. knows what it is doing and is getting it done. For three days, morning, afternoon and evening, sessions were handled on schedule. This year's Illinois state president, Larry Rower, could not attend because he is in England for three months representing American rural youth, John Bail, vice-president, took over and did a fine job. One of the highlights for the McHenry chapter was receiving the banker's plaque for having completed the best program of work in Section 6. Barrington was a close second and each school received bronze ratings by the state .'for their effort. The public speaking contest, various state awards, Star Farmer award, F.F.A. follies, election of state officers and State Farmer degree ceremony were ju9t a few of the many acUvities that filled the sessions. . In a few hours between sessions, Springfield offered much for the visiting F.F.A. boys to see. The state capitol and Lincoln memorials are in the biggest demand. The McHenry delegation drove to the New Salem village and were Impressed by the detailed display of how Americans lived in 1830. With the impression made by Dick Wissell's becoming Section 6 vice-president, the McHenry chapter is looOcing forward to bigger and better things in the next year. | OBITUARIES | Join your friends in fun at the Fun Festival at McCullom Lake, July 15-16-17. 7 MRS.
