Phone 92-R West McHenry, Illinois t if |T It was just 2:13 in the afternoon when an Illinois Bell telephone operator answered a call on her switchboard and heard a woman screaming. Swiftly, she turned the call over to her supervisor, Mrs. Edna R. Lejcar, who succeeded in calming the frightcoed woman within a few moments. "Please help me!" pleaded the voice on the wire. "My baby's choking!" Mrs. Lejcar, a mother of two sons herself, gave instructions on how to relieve the choking infant Then she got the customer's home address, called the Five Department and ordered an inhalator squad to the scene. Finally, she checked her emergency list of doctors, ited one in the neighborhood and asked him to sh to the woman's home. All this took just two minutes from the time the first signal appeared on the switchboard ... two minutes that averted a tragedy. Mrs. Lejcar received the Telephone Company's coveted Vail Award for her cool-headed efficiency. But she prizes even more the knowledge that she was instrumental in saving the baby's life. The value of your telephone is ^ immeasurable in emergencies. And it's still a big imgain in everyday activities, too. It saves time, worry ».. and money. Illinois Bdl Telephone Company. th Mr. and Mrs. Lee Sawdo and family enjoyed a week's, visit with Grandma Annie Sawdo at Sturgeon Bay, Wis. , During their absence over the weekend their basement was flooded by the water from the melting snow which put their heating plaint oftt of order. It was Tryg Ronjstad who first noticed that the water was not following the usual course add decided to investigate. Soon after. Theodore Olson. Ray Osterby, Otter Ebert, Fred Ttaomsen and Art Olson appeared on the scene with equipment which was hastily rigged Up and in no time the basement was pumped dry, the heating plant put in operation and snow removed to divert the stream to its natural course. The Sawdos were two grateful people when theiy learned of this good deed on their return. Mr. and Mrs. William Myers returned to their home on Maple Hill after an extended tour of the Southwest, accompanied, by Major and Mrs. John Fox. The folks spent the last three weeks of their vacation at Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Major Fox is stationed at the army air base. Mr. and Mrs. George Harker enjoyed the weekend at their cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lepinske and son braved the elements last Sunday to beat the robin to McCullom Lake. The Lepinskes early appearance presages an early spring, and we're betting on it spite of what Mr. Groundhog prophesied. Harry has fully recovered after undergoing a major operation and eight weeks of hospitalisation. Mr. and Mrs. George Baumbeck had as weekend guests Mr. and Mrs. Baumbeck and nieces, Marilyn and Barbara, of Chicago. Wilbert Hecht, Jr., was host to ten of his fellow employees of the N. W. R. R. at breakfast last Sunday at the Hecht home. After breakfast the group motored to Williams Bay, Wis., for a day of skiing and tobogganing. No casualties were reported and we're sure that the upholstery the boys added to their frames after partaking of Ma Hecht's good cooking made them bruise-proof. We predict a great future for the enterprising Chickie Sales, your Plaindealer salesman. It must have been a pleasant surprise to his many customers to receive a valentine with their Plaindealer last Thursday, which only goes to prove that his heart Is in his work. ADIOS. BFILDIN6 DISPUTE Antioch'8 new fire station remained unused last week while the contractor. Ed Kidera, and architect, Leonard Lantz argued over the condition .of the building. The architect still refuses to approve the building upon his inspection, saying that the workmanship is not up to the required standard and much Is not done according to specification. Kidera asked the village board for his money at the last meeting, citing the many things he had done in the building without charge and the changes and improvements he had made in offsetting by far anything that might be lacking. The board, unable to act until the architect gives the nod of approval, is withholding $2,400 still due Kidera. _ Grade Creasing Accidents More highway, railroad gradecrossing accidents take place on Saturdays than on any other day- AUCTION WM. H. RUSSELL, Auctioneer ANNETTE VICTOEIN MARYLIN MARTIN was driving the family car feeling very gay and worldly. Suddenly a jammed on the brakes. It was Barold Fits, and of1 all things, ha was riding a bicycle! Just her hide. Harold came over to the side of the car, clinging to his bicycle. "Are you trying to kill me?" he exclaimed, his look one at resentment and "Don't be silly, Harold," KaryUn returned impatiently. "If you can't ride a bicycle, you should keep off the streets." Harold leaned over the open w i n d o w a n d looked at Marylln like a sick call | "What time should I call for you Saturday. Tom's party, remember?" "I've got a date." Marylln returned crisply, and her hand was waiting to shift gears impatiently. "Oh, yeah?" Harold flared angrily, "I suppose you're going out with that . . . horse breeder?" His voice dripped with sarcasm. 'Harold Fits!" llarylhi cried, her cheeks flaming. "If you're referring to Jonathan Benton, he's the best riding master in the country!" "He's a dope and old enough to be your fattier," Harold pointed out seriously. Then in a softer tone he continued: "You know how Ij feel about you Marylln and . . . I thought you were keen about me, too. until this character butted in." Marylin flared, "Yon «r» sncb m child. Go back to four bicycU." Shf Uarted the car. Harold, a hurt look in "his eyes, yelled after her. "Dad drove the car out of town -- and I like my bicycle." It wasn't every girl that had the honor of being Invited to the country dance Saturday with the riding master of Gaylor Stables. Jonathan was tall, had dark eyes, a selfassurance and poise that made him so fascinating. The way he helped her into the saddle and then caught her in his arms after every canter they had together. THE sun was faintly visible In the sky when Jonathan Benton slid into the seat beside Marylln. "Isn't it s glorious afternoon?" she sighed. "I don't know," Jonathan replied uncertainly. "I sort of feel a storm in the sir." He glanfced out of the window skeptically. Marylin started the car. It was a good five miles to town and she drove slow . . . purposely. She wanted as much time'alone with him as possible.
