Thursday, S3.I9S4 THl MeHENBT PLA1NDEALER FBf§ ilUIUVB McCullom Lake SILVER WEDDING CELEBRATION FOR VI AND BEN GATES Eve Leveaque Although Violet Stuhlfeier and Ben Gates grew up in the same neighborhood, in the Forest Park area, their paths didn't cross until Vi was in her teens. While attending a picnic and dance at Altenheim (a home for retired folks of German background), the couple was introduced by mutual acquaintances and culminated in their marriage. On Saturday night, April 25, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gates will hold an "open house" at Whitey and Bernice's in honor of their silver wedding anniverssary. Actual date is April 29. Festivities will tyjgin at 8 p.m. With taste tempting delicacies --and music for dancing. Violet Gates, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stuhlfeier, was born in Minneapolis, but grew up in Forest Park. Ben was born in Joliet, and moved to the Chicago suburb while very young. After little over a year of being engaged, Vi and Ben repeated their nuptial vows in April, 1939, with her parents as witnesses. A large reception attended by members of both families, and mutual friends was held shortly after. In 1942, first son Glenn blessed their union and Bob followed in 1944. The family moved to McCullom Lake 19 years ago, and in. 1948 their son Arthur1- was born. He lived only 2 days. Both young lads graduated from McHenry high school, and Glenn is on military leave, awaiting orders. Bob is in structural maintenance, stationed at Naval Air Station, Glynco, Ga., and has served almost two years in the Navy. Ben is entering his twenty-fifth year as a machinist in Chicago and Violet has been employed locally- All four members of the Gates family are pleasant, personable, and NICE to know. They have improved their home and thereby improved their community. Violet's theme of life is music, music, music, with a little French conversation thrown in for good measure! We couldn't be happier for both of them as they celebrate this wonderful milestone . in their lives and many of our villagers will be on hand for Saturday night's fun and frolic! Second Record Set For Precinct 12 In Percentage Voting For the second consecutive primary, precinct 12 heads the lis£ in percentage of registered voters turning out at the polls. According to the official list, we had 68 percent voting, eight points higher than the next highest!! Two years ago, we were in the 70's! Certainly proves our citizens are civic minded and don't intend to waste their privileges. Jake Levesque was re-elected Republican precinct committeeman with a total of 121 votes. Wilbert Hecht, Jr., received 118. A total of 30'} ballots was cast --243 Republican and 60 Democrat. Eight persons voted by absentee ballot. It was a long and arduous day for judges Earl Murray, Elma Nelson, Marge Olsen, Irene Sales, and Tony Luto and they are to be commended for a fine job. Theresa Schultz was unopposed on the Democrat ballot for precinct committeeman and for recorder of deeds. In the latter capacity, her name will be on the ballot in the fall and will oppose Harry Herendeen.

Green St Phone 385-0917 McHenry, 111. An tutomobile transmission, we grant you, isn't the most soul-stirring subject on earth. Nothing to look at either. But if you'd like for your next new car to give you a better break on performance and gasoline mileage, something happened last week to be your guide. The Los Angeles to New York Mobil Economy Run proved one thing for sure. There's quite a difference in the transmissions of new cars. Three out of four for Buick The long-time champion in the transmission league--Buick--walked off with the 1964 economy pennant. No other single make of car won as many events as Buick. Four entries, three winners. The winning Special carried the new Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission; the LeSabre was equipped with the Super Turbine 400 (both optional at extra cost). They're the latest in a long line of Buick transmissions well known for their smoothness and absence of "shift feel". The Super Turbine is a refined and improved torque converter type to help you safely pass cars and trucks as well as gas stations. You'll hear a lot about it in the next couple of years as this modern kind of transmission is adopted by more and more car builders. What about engines? Of course, an efficient transmission gets more efficient when teamed up with a lean, agile engine. The winning Buick power plants were our new V-6 and V-8. The 300 cubic inch V-8 in the winning Buick Special (the lowest priced of afl Buicks) and the Buick LeSabre (the lowest priced big Buick) is like a well-conditioned fighter, All muscle, no fat. Weighs in at far less than other V-8's of similar punch. It took every other V-8 in the Economy Run. Your type of driving--regular gas The Run was through cities and towns, across super highways, in traffic, out of traffic. This was not race track driving or proving ground driving. This was your kind of driving--even though you can't expect to get as good mileage as these •xpett drivers io their finely tuned produc* tion can. The distance was 3,243 mile*, about what most families log in four months. All three Buicks used regular gas. So the Economy Run is not just a cross: country tour for the Mobil people and a • few car buffs. It's a reliable test of a car's • power team and what it's able to squee?© out of its fuel. We don't expect everybody to rush out this week-end to buy a new Buick just because we won a few economy trophies. There are so many other good reasons for leaning to Buick that economy usually gets second billing. There's styling, natu*, rally. An unusually great ride. Extraordi* < nary engineering and workmanship. And I very young performance. Small wonder' Buick sales are running at 11.5% over last year. But it's nice to get economy as a plus in • i Buick. Beyond the dollars saved on gaso* > line, there's a certain pride in knowing you have a car that's built to get the most out1 of every tank of gasoline. Wouldn't You Really Rather Have a Buick?
