Ringwood News Doris Low 653-9262 Kafy Christopher 385-8037 Old Glory Flies Again It was 7:30 a.m. Saturday, July 4, 1961. The bugle call "To The Colors" broke the stillness as Old Glory slowly raised her proud head above Ringwood park. Chris Perrara played the bugle call while his wife Linda raised the flag. Though no one was in attendance but a few onlookers sitting on their porch across from the park, it was still a proud moment. It's been many years since our nation's flag has flown over Ringwood park. It came about because some interested! citizens cared enough to do something. Lee Walkington, with the help of Jim Pearson, painted the flag pole, Chris Ferrara contacted one of our state representatives and was able to get a national as well as a state flag donated. And several weeks ago, a number of interested people turned out for a 'clean up' day at. the park. The grass was mowed, flowers and bushes were planted. For the time being, the flags will be raised only on holidays. Anyone interested in taking on the respon­ sibility of raising And lowering the flags on a daily basis may contact Mary at*" the post office. We all need to work together to reinstill pride in our little town, which once boasted the largest depart­ ment store in all of McHenry county. Though we are no longer a thriving trade center, Ringwood is still one of the nicest places I can think of to live. FAMILY REUNION Ben and Lois Jacobs en­ t e r t a i n e d t h i r t y - f i v e members of the Howard family last Sunday for a wonderful get-together. Of five sisters born in the family, only two survive. Lois' mother, Mrs. Howard (Laura) McCracken of Oregon, 111., and aunt, Mrs. Howard (Clara) Hjelm of Garret, Ind., were both present for the festivities. * While not all the relatives were able to be present, each sister's family was represented by at lea3t one member and in some esses, all the members were present. Relatives traveled from California, Florida, Indiana and Ohio to be a part of this happy occasion. Lois' sister, Marion Phillips of Chico, Cal., added a little bonus by staying over a couple of days so the two could catch up on family news. SIXTH BIRTHDAY It was a very special oc­ casion for little Frankie Visconti when he entertained sixteen of his little school friends, neighbors and cousins last Sunday for his sixth birthday. Also present were grandma Edith Harrison, godfather Ronald Paulson and family, and godmother Kathy Noble. The children w«r« fascinated by the tricks of a blind magician and thf antics of a clown. In* terestingly, the blind magician hai a 'black ball In karate and instructs blind children in the art of karala. There were many lovaly gifts for Frankie to open and enjoy. Mother Lil, saw that the hungry appetites were appeased with hot dogs, potato chips, cake and ice cream while dad Frank, supervised the gallons of soft drinks he had to make. A very special surprise and gift was a phone call from grandpa and grandma Visconti and great-grandma Piazza from Sicily, to wish Frankie a '"Happy Bir­ thday". In turn, Frankie wished Piero Capizzi, husband of cousin Anna (Visconti) Capizzi, a happy birthday since they both share the same natal day.

He was born and raised in the Marengo arefi and later moved to Ringwood, where he taught school for many years. After retiring they moved to the Johns burg area. HOME FROM KANSAS Mrs. Linda Ferrara and her three children; David, Jenny and Beth returned Thursday, July 2, from their week long stay with grandpa in Lawrence, Kan. 'Grand­ pa' is Linda's father, Gene Hubbard. It was their first visit to Kansas and they had an enjoyable time. Some of the highlights of the trip were:- of course, getting to know grandpa and his wife Phyllis a little better; getting some further genealogy in­ formation about the Hub­ bard side of the family; touring the lovely campus of Kansas university in Lawrence; cat fishing; and enjoying the beautiful rolling hills of eastern Kansas, (bet you thougmTit was flat*) The kids particularly enjoyed the ride home on an AmTrak Super Liner. But, they're all glad to be home again with 'daddy' Chris, and hope to take him with next time.

Recycling In McHenry On Saturday Saturday, July IS, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. McHenry Boy Scout Troop 459 and the McHenry County Defenders will cooperate In operating the recycling drive at the southeast corner of the McHenry Market Place parking lot. Troop 459, which is based in'the Lakeland Park neighborhood, will use its share of income from the drive for such things as troop camping equipment. Accepted at the drive are bundled newspapers, bun­ dled corrugated cardboard, clean glass jars tnd bottles iwith all metal and plastic removed), clean and flat­ tened "tin" cans, all- aluminum cans, and used motor oil. Bi-metal beverage cans (the kinds with an aluminum top, but steel sides and bottom) can not be accepted,, because of the difficulty which scrap dealers have in handling that combination of metals. The steel sides and bottom of such cans can be detected with a simple magnet. As is usual how, there will be a payback program for all-aluminum beverage containers as an incentive for folks to help clean up the littered landscape. Residents of the McHenry area are reminded that the recycling drives now close at PAGE 17 -PLA1NDEALER FRIDAY.
