CHILDREN SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR FIRST SCHOOL DAYS Patricia Robinson, University of Illinois child development specialist, suggests that you look ahead to some new experience your child will have in starting school and start preparing for them. Fpr instance, a child vC'no has seldom gone beyond his own yard will be at a los* when the post office and train station are discussed in school. So take him to these places in the community. When you do, don't just drive by and expect the youngster to learn about it. Show him different things and encourage him to ask questions to find out things for himself. You should encourage him to play with other children so that when he starts school he will know something about sharing playthings. Another part of your job in preparing your child for kindergarten is to teach him some specific things. He should know his name, address, telephone number and parents' telephone number and parents' name, by all means. He should also know how to care for himself at the toilet and how to dress himself. The clothes you buy can either help or hinder his learning to dress. Cardigan sweaters are easier to put on than slip-over sweaters. Additional information will appear in a future article which should be of help to parents. McHenry Shores Successful Golf Outing Enjoyed By Clare Mueller, EV. 5-0553 Nine "die hards" wondered for a time why they didn't stay home in bed like the other golfers who were dtfe out on the course at Pistakee early Sunday morning. Aug, 8. Hqwever. they decided to dodge the few raindrops and tee off for a morning of fun and companionship. The rain stopped for good before the first golfers had poked their balls down the first fairway. Friends and members of the Shores Social and Athletic club then enjoyed the next five hours of a clear day on the links. Art Cicchini turned in an 85 for lowest score. Other awards were arrived at bv a series of arithmetic problems called a handicap system. Looks like Clare Mueller had an "in" with the management, who picked out the holes for all the figuring because his handicap net was 59 Jack Schmitt was second with 69.

Young Man Drowns In Lake Residents of the Griswold Lake area were shocked to hear of the drowning on Sunday, Aug. 7. of a young Chicago man visiting in the lodge across the lake from Holiday Hills. It was difficult, as always, to obtain a clear account of the accident. Jack Romanov, 16, had fallen off a plastic raft some distance from the shore. His brother. Nicholas, rowed out in a boat to help Jack to shore, but fell out and drowned. Nicholas could not swim. Jack made it to shore, but could not get help to his brother in time. Having tlje lake and the rover on our doorstep, we sometimes tend to forget how quickly a tragedy can occur. Parents should take all precautions when swimming with their children at the beaches, and particularly when taking the family for a ride in a boat. Inflated devices of any kind, mattresses, rafts or rings, are to be discouraged because it gives the child or adult a sense of false security. Children have drowned from slipping out of plastic rings after drifting out into deep water. Woman's Club Meets Woman's club members enjoyed an instructive demonstration on woi'king with straw at the regular monthly meeting Wednesday, Aug. 10, at the Lutheran church.

Village of Sunnyside Road Repairs In Progress Irma Gunther - Reporter EV. 5-3484 Warning to Speeders Complaints about speeding motorists inside the sudbivision have risen to new proportions. There is a posted speed limit of 25 mph. within the subdivision. On the blacktop around the entrance the limit is 35 mph. Any resident who notices a car traveling at an excessive speed is asked to record the license number if possible, and to notify one of the deputies. The deputies are Jim Harper and Bob McWilliams. DISSOLUTION OF IMPROVEMENT GROUP IS ASKED Announcement has been made that Wonder View Improvement association. ,Unit No. 1, will remain inactive until the first general meeting in June of 1961. It will be recommended by the officers at that time that the association be dissolved due to lack of support of the property owners. Notice of this meeting will be sent out to all property owners, but only paid-up members may vote on the dissolution of the association. The announcement was made last week by Irene Menalos!- no. secretary of the organization, who said it was with regret that the move was being taken. She added that the officers felt the good of the comj munity must be put before per- I sonal differences, and an orj ganization must be supported if it is to be successful. Lots of women would make better wives, if they weren't so busy making better husbands. i Some of our roads that were really bad have been repaired so that you can go down them w i t h o u t g e t t i n g l o s t i n t h e holes. The men have started to put drain ditches in alsq. Social We made an error last week in stating thaJUlfre social will be between "the Fredricks and Williams homes. The social will be in back of the Willianjs home.

The three are sisters and are in the order of The Daughters Of The Divine Redeemer. One sister is at Cleveland. Ohio and the other two are at Pittsburg. Pa. Many fond memories were discussed and Joe said the meals were delicious. The only bad part of any vacation is t h a t t h e y a r e n e v e r l o n g enough. Successful Carnival St. John's is grateful to all the hard workers, and to all the people who made their carnival a great success. Even the weather was very cooperative for the three days. Pistakee Terrace If you have any news for the column call Barbara Flood at E. 5-3928 and she will turn it over to me. The Mecko house had company last week when Mary's sister, Dorothy, her husband.
