PAGE4-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1972 them awhile. Quite a thrilling experience. Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen & Marge Conned - 385-6344 Farmans Enjoy Three Week Trip To Scotland Ken and Sara Farman recently returned from a three week trip to Scotland. Leaving the United States on Sept. 9, they arrived in Aberdeen, Scotland, to the joyous welcome of Ken's family, his father, Charles Farman, and several brothers and sisters. Ken had not seen his father for ive years, and one of his brothers for 10 years, so it was really quite a family reunion. And of course, his family had not met Sara, nor she, them. Their first week was spent renewing family friendships, and touring around the area of Aberdeen. Ken and Sara visited the fish market in Aberdeen, where Ken's father and several of his brothers work. Can you believe a fish market a mile long, filled with freshly caught fish, and all sold out by 10 o'clock each morning? Sara reports it was quite a sight to ^ee- / • From Aberdeen, they toured many remote areas of the Scottish Highlands. Sara and Ken report that in most areas the roads were only one lane, with sheep roaming all over. It was quite an amusing situation when they met oncoming cars, but because of the sheep, neither car could back up or move forward out of the way of the other. So they just would sit and wait for the sheep to amble out of their way. The Farmans also visited the famous and legendary Lochness Lake, but didn't see the fabled monster. And they stayed on the Isle of Skye, as well as several other areas in Scotland. After touring the country on their own for many days, they returned to Aber­ deen to say their good-byes to the Farman f*milv. and returned home to the good old U.S.A. It was a wonderful trip, and Ken and Sara have many, many pictures to remind them all their beautiful memories. WOMEN'S CLUB NEWS The Holiday Hills Women's Club held its October meeting on the evening of Oct. 11, at the home of Mary Ann McMahon. Following a business meeting, a very interesting program on decorated and jeweled eggs was presented by Mrs. Bonnie Westphal of Maple Park. She presented a brief history of egg decorating, which started in Russia during the time of Alexander, and which just recently is becoming a very fascinating hobby for many people. Servers for the evening were Carolyn Stackhouse and Pam Bellon. The next Women's Club function will be the annual kick- off dinner, to be held the evening of Nov. 9. All women in Holiday Hills are encouraged to join the club, and the mem­ bership drive will be con­ centrated during the next month. More information concerning the dinner will be forthcoming. Last weekend, the club sponsored a bake sale at the Market Place Shopping Center in McHenry. In charge of the sale were Barb Emmons and Diane Michealis. They did a fine job of contacting club members to bake, but un­ fortunately, for the club, so many of the gals did not cooperate. The club made a small profit, but had they had the support of all the mem­ bership, the sale could have been quite good. When Barb and Diane set up the sale bright and early Saturday morning, they had a surprise visitor, Dan Walker, the Democratic candidate for governor. He bought a plate of Brownies from them, and talked with MORE POLITICS Several local ladies attended the tea given for Mrs. Pat Nixon on Monday, Oct. 9. Taking the train from the station in Crystal Lake, Pat Hughes, Carolyn Stackhouse, Libby Hellmig, Lorene Farr and Dorothy Johnson met other women from the McHenry Republican Women's Club to join them on their excursion for the day to Chicago. Leaving in the morning, the gals had some time for sight­ seeing along Michigan Avenue, and they enjoyed a leisurely lunch atop the Prudential Building. Then they took a cab over to McCormick Place, where Mrs. Nixon was due to arrive later that afternoon. Because of the crushing crowd of women gathered to meet Mrs. Nixon, and due to her late arrival, the gals sat for several hours in the Arie Crown Theater, -waiting for her to come. Unfortunately for them, Carolyn and Lorene had to be home early, and so had to leave. But for Pat, Libby, and Dorothy, the wait was wor­ thwhile. They did get to meet Mrs. Nixon and shake her hand. So it was quite a day for them, one they will all long remember. SAUNDERSAT MILWAUKEE ZOO Taking advantage of the beautiful autumn weather and scenery, Roger, Bev, Jill and Lori Saunders spent last Sunday driving. to the Milwaukee Zoo. The children enjoyed the antics of the playful smaller gorillas, but Bev reports that she most enjoyed watching the lion cubs, who were born in early September. They had a lovely day, in a most enjoyable place. 644 SERIES Our "bowling pro" has done it again and right proud he can be. Congratulations to Wally Karafa of Hickory Street who last week rolled a 644 series at the bowling alley in Island Take. His high game was 265...and what a thrill he must have experienced. One of these days he'll surely come across with that 300 perfct game at the rate he's going. Wally has many trophies and awards that he has won due to his bowling ability and if all you fellow bowlers want gome advice, maybe we should toss out our official bowling shoes and try "gyms" as this is the only type shoe he'll use and perhaps this is the secret to his success. Much skill however is needed to roll a 265 game...and that Wally has...so again, congratulations on a "beautiful night of bowling!" GIRLSCOUTSGO APPLE PICKING • Our Junior Girl Scouts from Troop 478 has started up again for another year of learning and fun under the leadership of Jackie Carbone and Cheri Hoglund and already have made a very interesting field trip. The girls were taken to a large apple orchard in Wauconda, where they learned about the many different types of apples and had the fun of picking them right off the trees. They also learned how apple cider is made, and visited the old-fashioned country store and museum which features can­ dies, home-made jellies, souvenirs, an Indian arrowhead display and replicas of treasure maps and any old and famous documents. They found this to be most in­ teresting and educational. Besides the leaders, Carolyn Stackhouse and Connie Grasser helped out with the tran­ sportation and the girls who went on this "apple picking expedition" were Paula Car- bone, Gina Boettcher, Chrissie Connell, Noreen DeWitt, Barbie Grasser, Angela Catanzaro, Pricilla Kasprzyk, Sharon Underwood, Cathy Hoglund, Jan Emmons, Ann Stackhouse and Kelly Wegener.

Mr. Fullmer suffered a dislocated shoulder and has been home for three weeks but hopes to return to work shortly. Although his two month old 1972 car was completely demolished, he feels very fortunate as his injuries could have been much worse. Another member of the Mahon family landed on the "injured" list this past week. As Billy Mahon sports a metal splint on his arm due to a football accident, Debbie Mahon is hobbling around with several stitches in her leg due to an injury during a field hockey game in Marengo. Hope they both are feeling better now and are able to get back to their respective teams real soon. SKATING BADGE Attention all Junior Girl Scouts: Once again the roller rink in McHenry is offering a skating course for Girl Scouts which will enable them to earn their "Skaters Badge". This is an eleven week course and the girls must attend at least nine sessions to qualify for the badge. A small fee will be charged to cover .the cost of the lessons and skates will be furnished. The lessons started on Saturday, Oct. 14, but it is not too late and you can still sign up for the classes. Plans are also in the process for having an advanced class for the scouts who have earned their badge and would like to further their ability. Details on this will be released when we receive more information depending on just how many girls are interested in such a. class. CHEERLEADERS Congratulations to Jean Catanzaro, Janet Szamlewski, and Cindy Weyland who were recently selected to be cheerleaders for the McHenry junior high sportsteams. With these pretty gals leading the crowds in cheers, our junior high team certainly can't lose! GRISWOLD LAKE ATHLETIC CLUB Just a reminder...the meeting of the Griswold Lake Athletic Club will be held tonight, Oct. 20 at the home of Bill Mahon on Brich street starting at 8 p.m. BOYSCOUT CAMP-OUT Several of our Boy Scouts who belong to Troop 162 in McHenry had a real fun weekend recently when they attended a camp-out at Chain Of Lakes State Park near Fox Lake. Gordon Hellmig, Timmy and Tommy Hughes and Ricky Connell left on the Troop bus early on Saturday morning and enjoyed beautiful fall weather, football, badge work and STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Until very recently, the driver who imbibed too freely might have had reason to pause and wonder as he approached the corner of Center and James streets. There he found not one, but two utility poles standing side by side, one several feet into the roadway. The rather unusual circumstance came about when work was un­ dertaken recently to improve Center street, providing curbs and gutter. The small photo at right shows a closeup view of the two^fles. At left was the driver's view as he approached the intersection, travelling north on Center. After several months, without fanfare, somebody removed one of the poles recently. games. A canoe trip had been planned, but was cancelled due to the high waters in the area. The boys had a great time however, and returned home on Sunday afternoon very en­ thused about their weekend in the outdoors. ATTENDS CIRCUS For a combination birthday surprise, little Angela and R o s e a n n e C a t a n z a r o , daughters of Joe and Connie of Hyde Park, had the thrill of a lifetime when their parents took them to see the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus held down at the In­ ternational Amphiteatre on Friday, Oct. 7. Having never seen a circus before, neither one knew just what to expect and having never taken the auto ride from McHenry to the amphiteathre, thought they would never get there. They couldn't un­ derstand how Chicago could be so big and how they could keep driving for so long and still be in the same town.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22 1:3k) p.m. to 3:30 p.m. From the start of the big night, it was just ohs and ahs as they watched one act after another. To see a man put his head in a lion's mouth was beyond belief. The clowns were great . and the gorgeous costumes were beautiful with their sequins glittering in the colorful lights. They saw Cinderella, breath-taking high wire acts, flying trapeze ar­ tists, many animal acts and even saw Santa Claus riding on an elephant with antlers. Connie and Joe enjoyed it as much as the kids did, and it will certainly be a night they will all remember for a long time to come.
