It sure was enc o u r a g i n g t o s e e s o m e n e w faces. We played cards, caught up with some visiting, did some dancing and we all got in the auction where we bid for some choice articles with fancy verses from the auctioneer, Mr. Kalmes. There was plenty of delicious food and liquid refreshments. A big hand to the ladies who helped De De and to the Fritz family for the use of their basement. Plans are in the making for the Christmas party for the village children which will be on Dec. 20. The families will all be notified.

There were no objectors registered to a B-l rezoning request by Harry W. and Carl Strom for property located in Rt. 2. three-quarters of a mile east of Spring Grove. The Stroms requested rezoning for construction of a motel and swimming pool on the site. The property is presently under F-farming classification. Thanksgiving Well, I'm afrftid I was very disappointed because I thought my phone would be ringing all morning with news and just a couple of people called. The Chester Crowleys went to Chicago to daughter, Pat's, for dinner which they thoroughly enjoyed. The Fredricks family went to McHenry to Kay's aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Williams, along with her parents and sisters. To help us with our turkey our daughter, Barbara's fiance, Robert, was over and while the women were doing dishes the men were enjoying the footbali game on T.V. P.T.A. The turnout at the open house at St. John's was really a very good one because over 150 parents showed up to see the work their children have been doing and to talk to the good sisters about any problems that needed help. • Siek Call Vickie Bogal is coming along nicely at home and if you have a few minutes to spare, how about-dropping in to say hello. Irene Garrity is doing so well that the doctor is letting her go to work a few days a week so that she doesn't get into a rut. The Obstfelder family had help with their turkey from grandmother, Mae Obstfelder, and Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and family. The Fran k MacLaughlins had a houseful when their children and grandchildren stopped in along with other relatives. The Benoche family went into the city to Jean's sister for their family feast. They closed the store at one and were able to spend a whole day visiting which they all enjoyed. New Arrival .The George Schumans hav£ another little girl, to join the three they already have. Sue spent just a few days in the hospital because she wanted to be home for Thanksgiving. Gad-a-bouts Well, the' children and I took our weekly trip into the city to do some shopping, and to visit my niece, Elaine Monkus, and her husband, Danny, then on to my brother, Otto, who was a doll because he kept an eye on the children while I went on to the hospital to see my brother, Fred, who is doing fine: After all the hellos and good-byes we hurred back home so that I could go to the, social, and I was sure glad I went because Bill had to work and I went alone but I enjoyed myself tremendously. Lucky When Bernadette Schneider visited at the convent in Milwaukee last week she became the possessor of a jar of honey which she said was delicious. The jar can be used as a bank in which to save her pennies. An Angel In Heaven The Lord moves in many ways and we are powerless to change them. I guess most of you know that, while the majority of us were rejoicing on Thanksgiving day, little Mfchael Muleski, who was just two years old, passed away and is now a little angel in heaven. We all offer the parents cur; deepest sympathy and prayers ! in the time of their great sor- , row. CIVIL DEFENSE DAY PROCLAIMED BY MAYOR FREUND Mayor George P. Freund ha§! proclaimed Dec. 7 as McHenry Civil Defense Day. It is interesting at this time to review the chances of escaping in case of a modern A-bomb .explosion. Should you happen to be one of the unlucky people right under the bomb, there is practically no hope of living through it. In fact, anywhere within one-half mile of the center of the explosion, your chances of escaping are about one out of ten. "r" On the other hand, from onehalf to one mile away, you have a 50-50 chance. From one to one and one-half miles, the odds that you will be killed are only fifteen in 100. At points from one and one-half to two miles away, deaths drop all the way down to only two or three out of each 100. Beyond two miles the explosion will cause practically no deaths at all. If your house is close to the explosion, there is little you can do to profect it from the 'bomb's blast or pressure wave. It is only wise tp figure that the upper floors of most buildings near the explosion will be pushed in. This means that the basement is probably the safest place to be.. Besides protecting you from blast and heat, basements also provide shielding from explosive radiation. Everyone can be prepared by having "fireproof housekeeping." Don't let trash pile up around your house and always keep it in covered containers. Six survival secrets for atomic attacks have been given: Try to get shielded drop flat on ground or floor; bury your face i in your arms; don't rush out- j side right after a bombing; i don't take chances with food or water in open containers; don't start rumors. terest to the citizens of McHenry; and WHEREAS, we realize the value of a strong Civil Defense organization from lessons learned in McHenry during fires, floods and other natural disasters; and WHEREAS, the existence of a strong and efficient organization of governments at all levels to meet and cope wifh emergencies is necessary for the protection of McHenry residents; and WHEREAS, the degree of the Nation's preparedness to meet disaster is measured by individual and community readiness; and \ WHEREAS, the understanding and support of all citizens is necessary to build and maintain strong emergency government capabilities in every community; and WHEREAS, such support, understanding and maintenance is now, more than ever before in history, a vital concern of every individual because of possible dangers from atomic arid hydrogen bombs and intercontinental guided missiles; NOW, THEREFORE, I, George P. Freund, Mayor of the City ,of McHenry, do hereby proclaim Dec. 7, 1958, as McHenry Civil Defense Day. I ! urge „ government. employees | and McHenry residents to participate hi Civil Defense obc: varices during these days, : therby reaffirming their belief in the principles of government ! in emergency. I further urge j the citizens of McHenry to 1 take advantage of the opportunities afforded during Civil Defense Day to familiarize themselves with Civil Defense instructions, the program in their community and their j part in it. j Given at the Office, of the Mayor a% McHenry and i sealed with the Great Seal i of the City of McHenry i this fourth day of Decem- 1 ber in the year of our Lord i One Thousand Nine Hun- | dred and Fifty-Eight and j of, the Independence of the j 1 United States of America, the One Hundred and i Eighty-Third.
