Fred Matthesius, road Commissioner, did a wonderful job on this project and is to be commended for the good work. Housewives are mighty Mppy about having comparatively dustfree homes. There are a few places which still need a little fixing and those will be cared for in the near future. A major road improvement mlan is being discussed and investigated by the village board. When definite word is received, our readers will be informed. Tlie people of our village can be proud of the advances and progress made in the past year and a half. i Tom-Toms and War Paint | Little Nancy Burg was treated i to a special sight at the Wis- I consin Dells last weekend. She | witnessed the Indian war dance I which is only staged once a j year. Nancy was the guest of | her aunt, Miss Mary Burg. The ladies enjoyed all the luxuries supplied by a modern motel in j the vicinity. They returned home J Sunday night. New Look (^ene Piotrowski, his father, M^itony, Ray Deskis, Bud Cable, •-'tijjl Brennan, Bonpy, Egerstaffer, Len Mager, Hugh McDonald, Gerry Burg and John Cunningham performed a major moving job last week. They moved the walk-in cooler, meat refrigerator and all the other big equipment from the old store into the new building. While the work was being done, the old floor collapsed. Fortunately, no one was i#njured. Business is being conducted as usual, in Lottie and Gene's Grocery store, and customers are being asked to use the rear entrance while the construction is under way. On Monday, the old building was torn down to"make way for the handsome masonry and brick front store which will take its i^ylace. The new store will be ^TOOre than twice as large as the old one, with many modern features being added. The Piotrowskis are making big plans for a grand opening celebration when the construction is completed. Again, we point with pride to the progress in our village. Hospitalized Early Friday morning, Ray Aalto was rushed' to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, for immediate treatment. He had been ailing for the past week but took a turn for the worse suddenly. According to the latest report from his wife, Virginia, he is responding to treatment and may be home soon. We wish him luck and a speedy recovery. Sad we are to report that Joe Matterer was hospitalized in Woodstock last week.. He has been very ill for quite some time. We are praying that Joe will be home soon with his wife, Mabel, where he wants to be. Cheery messages from their friends will do much to help our sick'ffeHows" recover.'

The June meeting of the American Legion auxiliary saw the election of a new slate of officers for the next auxiliary year. Eleanor Reid was elected president and Pearl Nerstad treasurer. The secretary is as yet unnamed since this is an appointive office rather than elective. Rev. Kerr of Woodstock spoke on the history and the hopes for the future of the Children's home. Another interesting phase of this meeting was the initiation of about twelve junior auxiliary members. The junior convention delegates gave reports, as did Mrs. Olson and Mrs. Homo, who chaperoned the girls. Janice Mikota gave the junior district report at the convention. There will be a report later on the eleventh district convention in McHenry on the twentyfourth.

According to Pete' Back around the turn of th' century a preacher was hold ing a revival meeting in a onehorse town. He ranted, raved and waved his arms 'til he was plumb out of breath ... at which point a fell a in the crowd hollered, "You're a phony! You stand up there talkin' and make folks feel re ligious and then you haul off and leave town . . . but the feelin* don't last!" To which the preacher replied, "Neither does a bath. Now while we're on the subject of bath, we'll bet you don't know what makes the ring around the bathtub you see after bathing. Dirt? Nope, it's a combination of soap and hard - water minerals that makes the ring of scum around the tub. It's called "soap curd" and it's insoluable. Unpleasant though it is to think about, some of thii soap curd stays on you after bathing. Clogs pores and causes skin blemishes faster than costly lotions, creams and salves can cure them. Also leaves a greasy film on your hair when you wash it in hard water . . . makes it dull, dingy and stringy looking. Hard water's a miserable thing to have in your home. Soft water is much better. The f a c t t h a t s o f t w a t e r ^ma&es every bath a bubble bath is just one of hundreds of ways in which soft water assures softer living.
