By 8*9 Leveeqoe ."f>. "Sailing, Sailing j Over the bounding main." Not • .'the ocean but the Fox river, is • toeing treated to the trimmest . little vessel that ever set sail. ^Iponrad Gustafson, with many Ip'ears of sailing experience behind ithim, has just completed his sec- • - ifncl boat, a fifteen-foot sloop. . .fever since he sold his first boat -f-frfter the war, he has had plans for another craft. Connie started work on the boat in his garage in July. 1954. ' \When the sloop outgrew the small building, he moved it into the backyard, where the work progressed. It was finished in August of this year. The trim little boat, with clean lines, was launched Sept. 30. She has a beam six feet wide, with a mast 23 feet high and a draft of 15 inches. Mr. Gustafson worked on it after working hours find weekends. With the able assistance of Lee Larson, Dave Hansen and friend. Roland Erick- . son and friend of Mundelein, she was lowered into the water. < Her maiden voyage consisted of a journey down the river under power because the mast was not fully rigged. The first trip under sail took place on Sunday, when Connie took his friend, Lee . Larson, out and displayed his sailing prowess. Mr. Gustafson comes by his sailing heritage naturally. He went to sea at 15 in Sweden and became familiar with the Baltic and North Seas. He sailed under the American flag during World Wars I and II as a merchant marine on ships which transported troops and amunition. He made - several trips around the world before he became an American citizen. Conrad and his wife, Alice, plan to put in a bunk on either side of the center board trunk. At some future date, the Gustafsons plan a really extensive trip. These two have the wanderlust in their blood! get in touch or call 2171. with Don Parenti See you Saturday!

He "busted" into the ranks at St Mary's hospital, Columbus, Wis., to be close to his mother, who just happened to be there at the time! The Ringelstetters have another little soldier. Tommy, who expects another promotion when he reaches 5 in December. Lillian stayed witli her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Walasek, in Columbus from August until Johnny's birth. Happv man was papa Mark on Monday, when he was able to bring his entire family home. The bachelor business leaves much to be desired. Our sinqere congratulations to the whole platoon.

The contender for. the beauty crown made her first "formal" appearance at Memorial hospital Woodstock, Wednesday, Oct, 3, weighing 9 pounds, 1 ounce. For her parents, she chose Elaine and Jack Rogers. Her adoring mother and father promptly named her Diane Marie. The little miss was welcomed into the family by big sister, Rosemary, and brother, Michael, when the entire family was reunited at home.

'*• MILTON ROSSMAN. Owner McHENRY STATE BANK, Clerking Save and October e Week 14-21, 1956 Some of the advantages pf saving are so obvious they boil down to simple cause and effect. Because somebody saves, a family is happier, youngsters lead pleasant, active IrijSfe. 'HGrown lifespan indulge their dreams of travel, home ownershipt^raflbious living!,'And older folks can look forward to worry-free retirement after their working days are over. But there's more to savinjf tliah these obvious advantages. " ' I,,, j / /; Joseph X. Waynne, Executive Secretary qf Mcjienry Savings & Loan Association in his afinouncement of the institution's participation in SAVE AND BE FREE WEEK, OCTOBER 14-21, points out that the individual's savings is one of the most important positive factors in our economy and one that can insure both individual and national freedom. « "Drive through any attractive new real estate development in any growing city or township," Mr. Waynne said, "and you will see an aura of prosperity and well being founded on tangible basis -- home ownership. Ownership of these homes is, in turn, founded on savings. To such a thriving community come businesses, other homeowners, schools, churches, and the full cycle of social and financial development. No one can deny that such progress -- the most stable progress in our civilization -- is founded on saving." Other advantages of saving discussed by Mr. Waynne, included our expanding industries. "Here again," Mr. Waynne affirmed, "industry can take grea,t strides only because investors choose to support it. Accumulated savings are used to purchase stock in expanding companies, and new production goals are attained. Once more, the savings of the individual directly contribute to community and national welfare." In conclusion, Mr. Waynne stated that other advantages of saving, while less tangible, are equally far reaching. "Educational levels are higher. College and specialized training are possible for more youngsters. Living standards are higher. More people can afford more things -- automobiles, appliances. Items that used to be considered luxuries have become essentials. Possibly, the most farreaching result, however, of regular saving as practiced by so many provident families is worry-free living. Theyi know their present standards of comfort can be met even in the face of financial emergencies or after retirement. It is our hope that, cluring Save and Be Free ,Week of this year, more and more families throughout the country will embark on a planned saving, planned spending program."
