McHenry Shores BEACH SCENE OF PARTY AS GOBLINS PLAY by 'Louise Winters The goblins were out in force last week in McHenry Shores. It has hard to tell which were real, and which were make believe ghosts and goblins dancing around that bonfire at the children's party. They all had a wonderful time, only the oldsters were heard complaining about cold feet. The kids were too busy comparing costumes and wolfing down hot dogs, etc. Our ways and means committee deserves a big hand for the terrific job they have done with both parties in one weekend. Thanks also to our policeman, Ken Schopp. (That's a policeman!) Our hats off fo Rudy Barnett who has been weighing and measuring his catches to make sure they are big enough to keep. If you're in doubt about yours, his scale is- always handy. Misfortune I Jack Schmitt is nursing a | mighty sore foot these days due to a run in with a large pile of sheet rock. He's lucky he had heavy work shoes on, and Elsie was with him. Wives do come in handy at times. Beach It has been brought to our attention recently that some of our newcomers may <not realize that the beach has not always looked as inviting as it does now. Ray Olszewski and his beach committee have done a whale of a job beautifying and maintaining our beach this summer. Thanks, fellows, for a job well done.
