Victim Of Surprise Lawrence Cook'was the object of a surprise party last Saturday evening, planned and carried out by his daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and George Oeffling. About fifteen were on hand to help Mr. Cook celebrate his seventy-ninth birthday. His other daughters in California and Michigan remembered their father by calling him long distance and wishing him many happy returns of the day. We join in extending our very best wishes to him also. Pet Destroyed The Bill Barth family is quite disturbed over what happened while they were gone to church last Sunday. The Barths have several pet rabbits in their back shed and someone shot and killed the father rabbit. Marge was very angry when she called me as there are a couple of young boys who have been around her place with guns. She said that they have been warned several times about shooting so close to their property but have ignored her pleas. Marge is worried about the nice weather coming on and. all the little ones who will be out playing. There is a lot of danger in gun totin' if it isn't handled with respect. Parents, if you know your sons are out' with guns, please urge them to use extreme caution. Entertaining Folks Bill and Ruth Martinec had the Dan Thurlwell family of McHenry and the Dick Jung family of Solon Mills as their dinner guests recently in honor of Bobby's Confirmation.

Later they were joined by several family members when they had dinner out. The Leo Smith home was the scene of family-type Easter celebrating last Sunday afternoon. Kathy Barth was taken out for dinner by her parents and brothers on Palm Sunday which was the day she was confirmed at Mount Hope church. Mr. and Mrs. August Karpenski and the Ray Karpenski family spent a few days last week as guests in the Fred Karpenski home. They are from Wausau and Rosholt, Wis. The Frank Schmitt family attended the funeral of Laura's uncle in Grayslake on Saturday. Easter Sunday all of Laura's side of the family were their dinner guests. The number in attendance totaled 27. The Schmitt boys, Bob and Duane, were home from their respective colleges to spend the Easter vacation with their family.

Rescue Squad Notes On the 14th of this month, the members of the Johnsburg Rescue Squad were called to Pistakee Highlands at 11:30 a.m. when a resident suffered a possible heart attack which proved fatal. A two car accident on Chapel Hill and Bay roads was their call on April 17. One of the occupants was taken to the McHenry hospital for x-rays. The running count has now been pushed up to 2,362 calls answered by the squad since they began. I would like to correct an item of safety which appeared in last week's column. One little but important word was omitted in one of the tips. You are NOT grounded when you are in a car with wires from a utility pole over it. If you are in doubt, please remain in the car until help arrives. Another very important word to the parents of small children, KEEP ALL PILLS OUT OF THEIR REACH. Two youngsters in neighboring towns have died as the results of overdoses in the past month or so. Don't wait until tragedy strikes --put all pills and medicines out of their reach. The lawn mowing season will be in full swing very shortly so here are a few good hints to safe mowing from your own rescue squad. 1. Do not attempt to clean out the mower while the motor is running. Shut-off the motor, disconnect the spark plug wires and ground them. 2. Do not let small children near the mower. Many times it is very hot and they can be severely burned. 3. Be sure you are properly braced when starting the machine and always be Sun of ydur looting when operating your tnower. It is easy to slip if you do not have the correct balance. 4. Never fill a hot engine with gas. 5. Many injuries come when the guard has been removed, from cracked blades or from loose nuts and bolts. Be sure your mower is in good working condition. 6. Always be sure the area you are mowing is clear of people. Many times objects are drawn into the machine and expelled which can be most dangerous if a person is in the near vicinfoy. And last but far from leaslf be certain a proper age person operates the mower. Exert extreme caution at all times, especially with the rotary-type mowers. Keep the young children outrof the way all the time the mower is in operation and never leave it while it is still running. ' : If you keep these tips in mind, you can have a peaceful and healthy summer in view. Class Takes Outing As has been the practice in the past years, the eighth grade class of St. John's school ,htis a trip on Easter Monday. This year they were accompanied by the Sisters on an all day bus trip to Chicago. They had a list of points of interest which they intended to see that was about arms length long. If they saw them all I don't know but you can be sure.they tried. The weatherman was most cooperative and gave them some beautiful spring sunshine for the day. Six more weeks of studying for them, and then the climax--graduation. Congratulations Corner , Many happy wishes to Mr. and Mrs. George Deidrich who recently observed their silver wedding anniversary. Congratulations also to "Red" and Pat Frisby of Sunnyside, who have their twenty-fifth anniversary coming up over this weekend.

GOAL OF SEAL SPEECH CLINIC IS EXPLAINED The Speech Therapy Department is another project of the Easter Seal Society sponsored by the McHenry County Chapter of the Illinois Association for Crippled, Inc. The goal of the speech clinic is to improve the individual's speech pattern to the extent that it no longer calls attention to itself nor interferes with the individual's communication ability, according to Ronald Stearns, speech therapist. Speech therapy is the process of eliminating undesirable speech patterns -or habits and substituting, through practice, an altered and more desirable speech response. Therapy pror vides a situation in which correct speech may be reinforced and transferred to everyday speech. The clinic operates on a yearly basis. At present, therapy sessions are scheduled for Saturdays until the annual summer speech program is opened following the closing of all McHenry county schools in June. This program is open to children and adults and consists of thirty therapy sessions during a period of six weeks. Each client is seen by one of two therapists for a period of onehalf to one hour per day, five days a week. Stearns points out that tliere were seventy-three children and adults enrolled in the 1964 summer program. Volunteer workers are present at the clinic Monday through Friday to accept any referrals by letter or telephone. Payment for the service is based on the individual's ability to pay. Many are given free. The 1965 campaign for funds through Easter Seals provides this service if the person is unable to pay. When you receive your letter, remember that you are helping someone who is not as fortunate as you. The Easter Seal Society will be appreciative if the contributions are sent early so the programs can proceed.
