LEADERS NEEDED Lakeland Park and Shores has always had a fine scouting program for all ages of boys and girls. The boys and girls have always been interested in scouting but at times have been hampered by a lack of leaders. Right now the Girl Scouts are to need of a new co-leader again. Mrs. Stupey and her family will be moving out of town in April and this leaves Mrs. Bierman holding the fort. Perhaps someone would be willing to come to the meetings to help out - even if they don't want to become a leader. This would be alright for the rest of this year, and give the troop time to find , someone who would really be interested in Girl Scouting. If you know someone who might be interested in helping Troop 320 or are interested yourself please contact Mrs. Bierman at 385-3404. BOWLING STANDINGS After a night of bowling on the fourth of March with only two nighty left in the final round the standings are as follows: In first place with 15-5 are the Wino's followed by the Warriors with 13-7. The Jammer sand the Sints are tied for third with 12-8, and there is a three way traffic jam in fifth position with the Ramskells, Dreps and Jawbreakers with a count of 11-9. Another group who seems to favor togetherness is the Sinners and the Famous 4 who are all tied up with 9-11. °Not to break the string of ties are the Short Circuits and the Bombers with 6-14. All by their lonesome with no one to share the pain are the 4-Pins who have sole possession of the cellar with 5-15. The next bowling night is March 18 so that will give everyone a chance to rest up and get in some really big games. STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK Every time that I start looking for Spring in this darn column it starts to snow or freeze or something, so as far as we're concerned we won't mention it again. Nothing like being a jinx! Marty Nuss celebrated his seventh birthday last Friday with a group of his old buddies. They were served birthday cake and the trimmings in a circus motif and took home balloons and favors. The young gentlemen in attendance at the party were Kenny Quast, Kennie and George Lauer, Scott Hendricks, Mark Giacomo, Michael, Burmann, and Paul Richardson. Mark Webber and Larry Koerper were not able to attend. Get-well wishes to Pat Linnane who is in McHenry hospital and Jan Walker who is in Silver Cross hospital, Jollet. Nedra Eckhart entertained Charlene Wimmer and Dickie, and Jay last week. It was the first outing for Dickie after he lost his tonsils. A group of ladies attended the tea given by the Methodist church last Wednesday. They really enjoyed the afternoons entertainment. Among them were Melinda Bassett, Helen Strandquist, Petey Oakford, Ann Herzog, Lyda Raddisch, Sherry Patterson, Mrs. Crabill, Barbara Meurer, and Nedra Eckhart. Wedding bells rang out on Saturday morning for Karon Karls who was wed to Ensign Alfred L. Caudell of Greenville, S.C. The young couple was married at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church by Reverend Donald Johnson. Among the attendants were Karon's sister. Virginia, and herbrother, Randy, who was the best man and Ricky was groomsman. Julie Brooks was the flower girl. A reception was held at the church after the ceremony. The newly-weds will be living in Waukegan where Karon is finishing her last year of nurse's training at St. Therese hospital. Our best wishes to the young couple for many years of happiness ahead of them. Lloyd and Jerry Wagner spent Sunday in Lombard where they visited Jerry*s mom, Mrs. Harbaugh, who is just home from the hospital after surgery. The Becker family went to Chicago mi Sunday to celebrate Mary Alice's birthday with Grandma Becker who also was a recent birthday girl. Those old golf nuts, Lee Mai, Jerry. Rogers, Jim Wickenkamp, Norb Kwiatek and Jack Butler couldn't stand the wait for golf season any longer, so they hopped into the old chariot and headed south. They spent the weekend in St. Louis where they played golf in rain and> sleet, but they were playing golf! They also managed to get in to see a hockey game between farm clubs of the Black Hawks and the Rangers. Such dedication these fellows have to that little white ball. I hope that the last of the snow melts soon so that they can get out on the course closer to home. Get-well wishes to little Renee Plucinski who was operated on in Harvard hospital for a ruptured appendix on Saturday. She was much better by Monday (when this was written) but . was still under intensive care. Grandma Plucinski came out from the city to help in the emergency. It's pretty hard for a lively little five year old to stay quiet so she would probably love to receive some cards. As we don't know how long she will be in the hospital, they should be sent to her home. Carol and Ray Cynowa andthe kids drove to Durand last Tuesday to visit with Father Rier, who is an old friend of theirs. They hadn't seen him for quite a few years and. had quite a gettogether. Carol's folks came for dinner on Sunday and Grandpa Gartze went with Ray to Zion where he was bowling with the Moose traveling league. Helen Strandquist attended a get together of the famous Old Timers club of many years duration. A dinner was held by Elda Bolin of Sullivan, HI., at the home other daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Helse in Glen Ellyn. Attending the affair were "Old Timers" Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Boepple,°Mr. andMrs.I.Lange, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Rose and Mr. and Mrs. W. Stamm. Also on the Sunday dinner kick were the Knor family who were guests of the newlyweds, Georgia and Bob Boyle, in their new apartment. Ruth Roach celebrated her non-birthday of Feb. 29 at her mother's in Chicago on Sunday. Jim's brother, Art and wife, Ruth, were also invited to the dinner. Later in the day, they were joined by Ruth's friends of 23 years whose birthdays fall at this time of the year also. They shared a birthday cake but left the candle blowing to Ray. MARCH 9, 1967 - McHENRY PLAIN DEALER - PAGE II, SECTION I Get-well wishes to Karen Stupey who was caught by the mumps bug. Hope that old "bug" wears himself out soon; A surprise pa&y was given for Fran Quast last week. It was a shower of trading stamps to replenish her bedroom after a slight conflagration changed the decor a bit. Greeting her at her front door as she was about to retire for the evening were the hostesses, Maureen Johnson, Shirley Koch and Roberta Humphries bearing cakes and coffee as well as the coffee pot and tableware. Also in on the hoax were Leah Nuss, Laverne Hromec, Rosemary Tiffany, Marge Webber, Barbara Meurer, Dorothy Dowell, Dolly Nowell, Jean Hendricks, Connie Giacomo, Louise Altergott, Sandy Cole and Carole Humann. Needless to say the evening was a complete success and a complete surprise. Quite a way to begin the week! J' THANKS I guess the help wanted plea in last week's column was a success for quite a few people answered my distress signal with news. Thanks to all and also to anyone who couldn't get through on Monday morning. It's useless to try calling on Mondays as that's when I use the phone to follow up all the leads and try to track down additional information. Anyway thanks and the longer column this week shows how much you can help. Don't stop.

The YMCA CONSIDERS McHENRY AS SUE FOR NEW CENTER The first report meeting of the Lake Region YMCA finance campaign was held recently, signifying the efforts of teams representing both the Special Gifts and General Solicitations division. Special Gifts solicitations have reached 58 percent of their goal of $11,000, or $5,800. General Solicitations divisions reported $2,459.50, or 18.8 per cent of their goal, which is $13,785. The total for the evening's report was $8,259.50, or 32 percent of the grand total of $24,785. The campaign will continue until March 9, when it is expected that the combined efforts of Special Gifts and General Solicitations divisions will push the thermometer over the top and reach the goal of $24,785, the amount sought to augment the operating budget of $37,985. One hundred and fifty workers will continue to appeal to t!\e "Y" friends in all the towns the YMCA serves. Towns in the service area include Island Lake, McHenry and Wonder Lake. It i^believedthe response will exceed expectations, and residents will accept the challenge to take part in the program of development and expansion of the Lake Region YMCA. After the conclusion of the Finance Campaign efforts will be intensified to choose a location for the opening of the second program center in the Lake Region Service area. Tentative plans are for the site to be in either McHenry or Woodstock, depending on numerous factors. The new program center will be able to explore and discover the needs of the area with local leadership. The tremendous growth in response to the Lake Region YMCA activities has necessitated the organization of program centers in several towns. The establishment of additional program centers will follow as soon as finances permit. 962 increase from November to December is reflected in the figures for individual programs. The caseload for McHenry county was as follows: Total, all programs, 742, $46,346; old age assistance, 187, $21,- 004; aid to dependent children, 332, $12,840; blir^d assistance, • 3, $267; disability assistance, 48, $7,354; general assistance, 172, $4,881. TRANSPORTATION GROUP TALKS OF BUS SCHEDULES The fourth meeting of the Blue Ribbon Transportation committee was called to order March 2, 1967 by Chairman Ray McGee. In his opening remarks Mr. McGee reviewed the duties of the various committees which were organized at the first meeting. Mr. McGee also gave a brief resume of what can be expected in future growth in the community. Five new grade schools, one junior high and one high school are anticipated in the next ten yers or less. Following these remarks by Mr. McGee, Don Heldt introduced four guests who included Glen Draper, James Thompson, George Worts and Tom Ballowe, all of whom are bus owners; Mr. Heldt served as moderator of the discussion. Bus routes are set up by the combined efforts of the contractors and the transportation director. Mr. Worts said that each bus travels approximately fifty miles per day. - Until three years ago the contracts were only a verbal agreement. Presently, the administration sets up the budget and each of the fourteen contractors is given a one-yfe&r contract. All of the panel agreed that the various times of school dismissal is a costly factor. If all grade schools, including parochial, were dismissed at one time this would improve existing conditions and could reduce present costs. One contractor felt that having only one contractor for all busses would definitely be a saving as well as an improvement in communication. However, no contractor would consider less than a three-year contract since the initial investment is tremendous. Another contractor felt having only <me contractor would present the problem of securing enough drivers. However, all of the busses have drivers now. CHURCH THEME The imperishability of spiritual things will be a theme of this week's Lesson-Sermon titled "Substance" to be read in McHenry Christian Science church on Sunday. Bible references will include a verse from Psalm 125: "They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever." gas wall furnaces make sense.
