On Saturday, her husband, Edwin Kantorski, and Mr. and Mrs. John Kantorski, also of Chicago, arrived so the weekend was definitely not a lonely one for Mary and Jake Kantorski. . Father's Day For Real Fathers were much in evidence for their day when Mr. and Mrs. John Reimell of Adrian, Miell, and Mr. Frank Rourke, Sr. of Chicago arrived to visit Beverly and Frank Rourke of Knollwood. How fortunate that both Beverly and Frank's dads could spend this pleasant occasion with them. Mr. and Mrs; Reimell, returned to their home in Michigan on Monday and took their grandchildren, Cynthia and Johnny, with them for a week's visit in the north country. ;;V , 2 Hurray!

These young lads are spending the week communing with nature and learning to become selfsufficient in , true Boy Scout manner. Bill Creutz is devoting one week of his vacation with the boys serving in the- capacity of counselor. Last night, the parents of the boys turned out enmasse to visit their sons/ for parent's night. Maintaining these camps is where part of the money that you donated goes. ] The rest is returned to the boys in merit badges and providing materials to further their skills.
