Some were treated by a McHenry physician, while others awaited the arrival of a relief train on which they were taken to Chicago. The train was making the regular Sunday evening run from Williams Bay to the city, when without the slightest warning, the locomotive swerved to the right and the cars followed, ail leaving the rails.

The final step now comes as the library board faces approximately $2,000 of unpaid bills. After deliberately avoiding a fund drive, the board now has determined that this is the only method of reaching all residents of the city. A little survey brought out the fact that many people are vitally interested in the library and have intended from the very beginning to contribute. Two popular MCHS seniors.

KENNEL CLUB WINNER Maureen Paroubek, a new member of our community, showed her Doberman Pin- scher, Lisitza's Kaye Dee, at the International Amphitheater dog show Oct. 7. It was Maureen's introduction to competition, and she was very proud that Kaye Dee won a second place in the six-nine month puppy class.

Mich. The weather was mostly cold and damp: so fishing was limited, with just a few small walleyes ending up on the dinner table. We discovered the beginning of U.S. Route 41 at Copper Harbor. We can now say that we have traveled from its start in Michigan to its end at Miami. Fla. Fort Wilkins at Copper Harbor has been restored to make the history of that mining area come alive Never a very active military post, its func­ tion of watching for Indian uprisings in 1844 and trying to keep the miners in line, lasted just a few years. However, the presence of the soldiers could still be felt, due to the quality of the restoration. The Carnegie library at Ironwood was a musty ex­ perience. The high columns, steps, concrete and marble made for an awesome facade, but somehow not as inviting, accessible and enjoyable as our un endowed libraries. And everywhere were large deserted, desolate school buildings, some intact and others with just shells remaining These are memories of earlier mining davs u hpn the area was rich in copper and everyone dreamed big Now the remains of past enterprises loom all around the Upper Peninsula, as working copper mines are very few. The color was magnificent The sugar and hard maples were resplendent in reds, oranges, yellows, with one red- and-yellow leaved variety particularly outstanding Seeing a hill of maples, with the spires of spruces. the uneveness and height of the pines, the yellow and tans of the aspens, and the greens of the oaks and basswood. was breathtaking For you who have not seen the Northwoods in the fall, imagine a gigantic hooked rug of all shades and hues of greens, golds, oranges, reds and rust. You who have, turn your minds' eye back to that beauty, and relive the joy of seeing God's handiwork at the peak of glorious color Now it's back to Lily Lake, library, and planning for future jaunts Good to be back, even if our car ended up in the hospital five miles from home. RECUPERATING Alma Hueckstaedt is home walking much better now She had foot surgery at the McHenry hospital last Thur sday Glad that problem is over, and that she might even start jogging now! Walk in the sunshine. GOD BI.ESS V.F.W.
