March 25 will be all all' Important day in the history of our community. Oa this day the voters , of McCullom Lake will cast thoir ballot* at the beach house to settle the future fate of their community. Their vote will decide whether it will enjoy an orderly- and progressive future through incorporation as a village or be permitted to deteriorate- as so many other subdivisions have in the past. The rapid growth in population in the past two years has definitely taken. McCullom Lake out , of the. summer resort classification. . The weather and increased; vehicular traffic have both played havoc with the pavement on the roads. What will these roads look like a year from now if no -definite steps are taken to insure, their "repair? Think, Mr, Property Owner, what this will do to the resale val- ; ue ot your home. , \7 ' It is not our intention "to use ; this medium to make up your mind, for or against the issue', but to point out the facts as we see them, and urge you to cast your ballot on March 25 at the beach house. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. amateurs and the public alike judging from the enthusiastic re-' sponse at each presentation. There was an acute shortage of linement in Mcllenry's drug scores over the past week-end and it was the McCullom Lake Shamrocks who were responsible for this situation. It seems that the boys decided it was about time to begin their spring training and what better place to go than the skating rink in McHenry, where they could harden up some of those tenderized muscles which they've acquired din ing the lonp period of inactivity. Clamping on a pair of roller s&Tit<>s to their shoes was a new "experience for most of the boys. It "was like wearing . a pair of shoes wliilt*" playing, baseball. Aftifran evening' of .wrestling with the law of gravity the roller rink took on a' slieen like it has ltev^r seen before. After this ordeal M;arie and Alan MoKiin. Lil and Pave Hansen.
