They wound up their trip with a visit with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Rimell, of Adrian, Mich. Thie kids flew home last, Wednesday. Friday, they appeared in the golf tournament at the Country Club. The pay-off is that Cynthia took top honors for young ladies. And Master Rourke placed first in the boys' division.

Miss Oleson is teaching English and Miss Zender will try to enlighten our 'teen-agers 7 in ^speech and English.

While working in the garden, she tripped over some equipment which caused an ugly gash in her hand and dislocated a finger and required treatment from a local physician. This is a good excuse for Anna to put son Ray to useful employment, we think. „ Seriously, we do hope Mrs. Deskis will be "on the mend" in a very short time. to close the wound; Ta&e it easy, boy! What a Let Down Jim "Twinkletoes" Pokorny is bemoaning his fate. He "celebrated" his birthday last week with no present, no one came to see him -- in fact, nuthin' happened! Belated greetings, Jim.

No Doubt In His Mi This happy gentleman has just taken title to his seventh motor car. And while he would probably have difficulty recalling all the different malces and models he has purchased through the years, there is one thing he knows with absolute certainty: He never felt like this before when hi took the keys and made for the open road. For this is his first Cadillac! And what a glorious feeling it is to know that at last he 'Jjfs chosen the "car of cars"! Gone are the doubt . . . and the worry . . . and the wonder. This time he knows he's right! And how quickly and convincingly the evidence will assemble in support o'f his sentiment! First of all, there will be the eloquent testimony that comes from the car* itself--its magnificent performance . . . its marvelous comfort and ride . . . and its incredible ease of steering and handling. And then, as he takes the sweep of the boulevard, there will be those quick glances of approval from his fellow motorists to tell him that he is not alone in his judgment. And, finally, there will be that delighted assembly of family and friends that will be waiting for him at journey's end-r-r^ offeringfinal confirmation of the wisdom of his choice. Of course, the man who takes title to a new Cadillac today enjoys the double satisfaction of having made the wisest possible choice at the wisest possible time. Because of Cadillac's increased year-end production, for instance, he wilj find that he can have prompt delivery on his new Cadillac. And, as if this were not sufficient in itself, we are also in a position --because of our low inventory of used cars--to offer him a most generous allowance on his present automobile. Why not come in soon--and spend an hour at the wheel--and let us acquaint you more fully with this unique opportunity? OVERTON CADILLAC PONTIAC 400 FRONT STREET McHENRY, ILL. PHONE 17
