Hugo Keerburg, died after a long illness. The family, who came to the United States from Estonia, has lived in our country about two years. A few months ago they moved from our comfKiunity to McHenry, but have ^Continued going to church on Sundays in Lakemoor. The children especially will well remember the two Keerburg girls, Tlnia and Reet. Not only wei« their grades in school always above average, but they often , entertained their classmates with some of their folk dances in Beautiful native costumes. We Offer our sympapthy to the fam- ^igly at their great loss.. Nina Loveless was taken to the Woodstock hospital last Week and Tuesday she was taken to surgery for a very serious operation. Her family have been visiting her daily, and her condition is now somewhat improved. All of us here in Lakemoor extend our wishes for a very speedy recovery. V • I would like to remind all the n^w residents of the community, and many who" ha!ve lived' here for years but never bothered *o register to vote, that • now is the time to do it if you want to be able to cast your vote for the November election. The privilege to vote is a precious thing. Use it wisely, and let's all be sure we are properly registered, Jfeo that we can exercise our '^rights as citizens of /the good did U.S.A. Marge Ehrardt is the registrar for our area and anyone in McHenry county can register with her at her home. Stan Hatch of Chicago. They all had a happy* though very busy, weekend. Mr. and Mrs. dafWbee Kattfce of Lilymoor are moving to Fox Lake this w e e k. * Strangely enough they will now be neigh* bors to the Charles Gohl family, who lived near them in Lily* moor also. I'll bet they will have some swell canasta games now that they are neighbors again. I promised last weeik to print any names of the winners in the various races at the firemen's picnic, and I learned that Jimmy Cassell was a winner- MI, T to group. Our family took a trip to Lemont last Sunday, and I was impressed by their system in the town for combating the lowly mosquito. Each family donated one dollar, and for this sum, the entire town will be sprayed three times with DDT. The second spraying of the season took place while we watched. A jeep carrying the spraying equipment rides ug and down the streets spraying huge clouds of the insetfeltfttlng vapor. The residents report th$t there was a noticeable difference after the first spraying, and they art all in favor of the system. I couldn't help but think how we sure could use soma oft that stqff around here. * .That gleaming flash of light ftpat you may have seen on the South end of town is just the brand new car the A1 Kuatz family purchased recently. A meeting of fctit Lily Lake P. T. A. will be held, Thursday, Sept. 4, at 8 p.m. at the schoolhouse. The parents of children who are just starting to school, as well as any other interested parents, are very cordially invited to be present. Refreshments and a social evening will follow the business meeting. =Jimmy Cassell celebrated his cth birthday last Saturday with a swell party. The me?;u was planned to eliminate h lh fuss and muss, and it seemed a good idea with such a big gang. The guests included Marylon Cassell, Rusby Cassell, Linda and Sandy Pike, Lenny and Carole Szarek, Wilma and Lily ^ Boyd, Lenny Blades, Robin Jean vRupp and "Irish" DeCicco. Some of the mothers were also present a e 4 they included Jimmy's godmother from Chicago, Mrs. Dorothy Rupp, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Ben DeCicco, Jr. Jimmy received some very lovely gifts jfrom his friends. Just as the guests were beginning to leave the party, Mr. and Mrs. Passage, a great aunt and uncle of Jimmy's from Indiana, arrived Jpand also his great aunt and Uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels of „ Elmhurst. This provided a great surprise and a very happy ending for his birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Theadore Beahler had as their guests this Weekend, Mrs. Estell Sexton of Chicago and also Mr. and Mrs. Mary Schiavone's sister, Mrs. Julia Guliano, and her cousin, Bessie Spine, of Chicago were out last Tuesday to visit her, and see hew she is getting along. front. They, together with a friend from McHenry, had a picture taken together to send home to the folks. ' Jack Wail had a bit ot^tough luck last Thursday, coming home from the free movies. He fell somehow from his bike and broke one of his fingers. Jack was one of the ambitious young fellows this past summer, and he worked for a local contractor to earn his spending money. We are sorry to hear of his misfortune. Rev. Henry L Harms, evangelist and youth leader of Wheaton, will conduct youth meetings at- the McHenry Bible church, located on Rt. 120, Lakemoor. 111. with services each evening at 7:30 o'clock. Scfct. 8 to Sept. 12 Mr. Harms has had fifteen years of experience as a pastor and ie/ t-- tion party are selling like hotcakes.

Sept. 7, at 3 p.m. at the Lannes Tower building. Members of the association are urged to M present for the election. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bitterman and Mr. and Mrs. W. Dixcn spent their vacation at Mount Carroll, 111. The families rented adjoining cabins and spent a very gay week together. Mrs. Harry Rodgers has returned from a vacation trip to New Jersey. She did her travel ing by airplane, and she tells us that from now on that is the only way she wants to travel. Mrs. Rodgers is a gardening fan and her yard looks like a colored photo from a gardening magazine. from early spring to late fall the entire yard is a mass of blooming color. It takes long hours of hard work to get results like that of the Rodgers. but they both love it. It is a real inspiration to walk by and see something so beautifi#. youth worker.

Each meeting is streamlined to the interests of youth, but interesting and helpful to the entire family. The public is cordially invftld to these services. Jean Flynn, the little girl that was hit by a car on the highway, came home from the hospital last Tuesday afternoon and is doing very nicely. Chicken Every Sunday Hie "chicken every Sunday" tradition seems to be expanding to include the rest of the week, too. Mass production techniques in the production of chickens and turkeys have made it possible for one mato to tend thirty thousand broilers, or ten to twelve thousand turkeys. Chain conveyors in feed mechanisms, automatic drinking fountains, time clocks for night lights, and gas-heated brooders ail make the producer's job easier. And, while production has gone up, mortality rates have gone down, thanks to the new antibiotic feed supplements and modern sanitary procedures. Ail this adds up to big business. For instance, in 1951 about 780 million broilers were produced, and some authorities predict that in 1953 over a billion will be raised. The average American now eats more than twenty-nine pounds of chicken meat annually--twentyf per cent of American meat copsumption. Health Talks Contact Not every person can wear contact lenses. For this reason, it is important that an individual requiring a correction for vision should be carefully evaluated, particularly when a contact lens is desired rather than glares or spectacles, according to the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society in a Health Talk. There are many persons whose vision can be corrected very nicely with spectacle glasses and who look well wearing them. However, if their ^occupation is such that spectacle glasses are prohibited, such as persons in the theatrical world, people in contact sports, such as football, basketball and hockey, the professional swimmer and others. There are also certain medical conditions of the eyes which cause visual disturbances that are not adequately improved by spectacle glasses, but are corrected nicely "with contact lenses. And then, of course, there are the patients who wear them purely for cosmetic reasons. One type of contact lens has a portion that fits over the central or corneal part of the eye, and a second part that fits over the scleral or white part of the eye. Read The Wast Ada! Mr. and Mrs. Myron B. Morrison and their daughter, Myrna Pete Dix, an<f Don Bush were all guests of the Claude F.

FREE ESTIMATES In other words, this type is in contact w)th ^two parts of the eye. Another type is known aa the corneal cap and is fitted to the size of the cornea of the eye only, making it come in contact with only one part of the eye. In both types the prescription for each individual case is ground on the central porton of the lenses which corrects the patient's refractive error, whether it be farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism or any combination of these. With the contact lens which fits over two portion^ of the eye, that is the corneal and scleral parts, an accessory fluid is used which rests between the contact lens and the cornea of the eye. This thin layer , of fluid permits, t^ie uninterrupted transmission of light rays from the contact lens to the cornea of the eye. It sometimes takes the patient considerable time to become adjusted to the fluid, since the eye becomes irritated after an elapse of several hours, and then, too, it frequently causes the vision to become cloudy. On the other hand, with the corneal cap, no fluid is necessary, and the cap just fits over the cornea of the eye, not too tight and not too loose. The thin layer of tears normally present over the eye forms a thin layer between the corneal cap lens and the cornea of the eye. The lens then holds its position in part by 2DE Sgt.

Many advances and improvements have been made in contact lenses. Because of their practical value, the progress is interesting, but, generally speaking they are not suitable to all types of visual disturbances and are not the answer to everyone's problems. Medically, they would be more suitable to the group of people whose vision is appreciably much better with contact lenses than it is with spectacle glasses.
