NOTE ^ For those of you who have wondered where this lit Grove Spring 675-2135 Eva Freund Interesting Life Of Sah Hanssen Told In Visit We sat in her living room, my friend and I, Shirley Dawson and Eva Freund, visiting this gracious lady, our hostess Sah Hanssen It is a home resplendent with Danish furnishings, and a stone fireplace built by Sah and a friend, Harriet Searles. A sleepy eyed cat, who didn't let us disturb her in the least was reclining on her very own chair. It all added up to an atmosphere of comfort and we could have just sat there the rest of the afternoon visiting, but we were also there for a purpose. Our primary interest was to glean some information trom Sah on her life before and after arriving in Spring Grove. A celebration on her eighty- fifth birthday at» Hunter Country Club held on June 25 prompted this visit. Sah was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and came to America at the age of twenty- three. While in Denmark her athletic ability progressively earned her a position in the Olympic Games Team. This team represented Denmark in the 1908 Olympics held in London, England, and they were guests of the Danish Ambassador. Before their departure for London, a performance of their athletic achievements was presented to an audience in Copenhagen in the presence of the King and Queen of Denmark. In America her knowledge of swimming earned her a position at the Chicago Hebrew Institute. There she was a swimming instructor for twelve years and helped to introduce and organize life saving and artificial respiration. In 1944 Sah purchased a vacant farm three miles north of Spring Grove on what is now known as James Road. Old buildings and pig pens were torn down. The barn was utilized as a recreation building, a stage was built and the curtain was made from a large parachute purchased from Government surplus. Also from Government surplus column has been lately, it 's been skipped because I had no news. It's your column and if you have any news in your family, why not give me a call?

A dining hall and swimming pool were added. Soon this became Alpine Camp for Girls and the first year sixty-eight vacationed there. Within ten years the camp became the summer home for some 120 girls at various intervals. The staff then included twenty counsellors, a registered nurse and infirmary, cook and caretaker. Shirley's part in this story enters when she was operating a lunch room and ice cream parlor in town. Sah would drive her girls from camp in a trailer to have a treat at Shirley's. At that time gravel roads were our only thoroughfares and ruts in these roads brought out the shouts of "Here comes Burnpity-Bump" this soon became the name of the visits to Shirley's Ice Cream Emporium. It all brought interest and excitement to our little town, but it ended in 1955 when Sah sold the camp. She built a home on Park Lane in Colemar where she still resides in peaceful surroundings of wooded area and the Nippersink Creek rippling nearby. All our best wishes go to Sah and may she have many more years of happiness. Extend License Display Deadline For Some Vehicles Michael J.

The bill was sponsored in the Senate by State Senator Jack Schaffer (R- Cary) and in the Illinois House by State Rep. Calvin Skinner (R-Crystal Lake). The bill as amended would allow town boards to enter into contracts with subdivision groups to allow the township road commissioner to maintain and plow subdivision roads. The bill would also allow town boards, if they desired, upon p r o p o r t i o n a l m a t c h i n g contributions, to help finance the upgrading of subdivision roads by the special assessment process. Senator Schaffer stated, "This bill will allow the townships to use federal revenue sharing money along with contributions from subdivision groups and property owners to both maintain and improve our many subdivision roads This bill will not provide all the money that will be necessary to bring our subdivision roads up to standards but it will allow for much improvement and is a major step in the right direction." Senator Schatter praised Rep. Skinner,' Lyle Jacobs, chairman of the McHenry county subdivision, Algonquin Township Supervisor George Starr, Algonquin Road Commissioner Julian Dvorak, and all the other interested parties who have worked for passage of this important piece of legislation. The bill returns to the House for concurrence of the amendment and then to the Governor's desk for signature. Senator Schaffer urged all interested people to write the Governor in care of the Capitol Ho Id Benefit^ Carnival, Sale For Dystrophy Children from three subdivisions in Wonder Lake will sponsor a carnival, bake sale and yard sale as muscular dystrophy benefi Saturday, "July 13.
