PourlMa THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday/M^28, Sunnyside Estates SOLICIT NEW MEMBERS FOR SCOUT TROOP Lois Anderson The newly farmed Boy Scout troop of Sunnyside Estates has held two meetings to date to get things going. They are eager to have any boy join their ranks if he is interested in scouting. He must be between the ages of eleven and fourteen but if there are any older boys who would like to join they can do so as explorer scouts. The rist of members includes Dennis Banker. Bob and Paul McDonald. Mike Major, Cory Patterson of Sunny - side and Johnny Rau. This troop, which has already applied for its charter, will meet every Friday evening at 7:30 at the Bierchen residence, 307 Mayfair and extends an imitation to all would-be scouts in this area. Along with the boys they hope to enlist the help of many interested parents, we can't expect the scoutmaster and his committee to do all the work. We are fortunate in having a fine group of men who are interested enough to give of their time. They are Ray Jensen, scoutmaster, Bill Kirk, assistant scoutmaster, Ted Biorchen, chairman assisted by Cnet Banker, Dick Janicki and Sal Kobus. You can call any one of these men for further information. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS RETIRES FROM POST OFFICE William A.
