Between the raindrops they stopped in Genoa, Wis. t From there they went to a cabin in BUrlington, for a rather rainy but enjoyable rest for the weekend. Sunday School and Church A preliminary meeting was held last week for those interested in having a Sunday school or church here in the community. Mr. Shave explained the details of the plan. Bulletins will be passed out in the near future about the meeting to be held on August 21 at the barn. All those interested in having a church or Sunday school are urged to attend this meeting. Mrs. Peterson is in charge of this and if you are. interested in helping as a teacher or in any way just contact her at 697-R-2.' Since there are nq protestant churches nearby this will be a good thing for those who wish to attend. Back To Work again after their vacation are Dick Morley and his new neighbor Adam Rzechula. The rest was short and sweet so back to the old grind again boys till next year. Sick List That mean old mister itchy measles finally caught up with little Billy and Randy Jackson. They both broke out in big red spots last week and will probably be joined by their brother Robbie soon. We hope they will be all over them soon. We send our best wishes for a speedy recovery to Ted Finger who has been laid up sick for a couple of weeks. We hope you're up and back to work soon. Tough Luck . Seemed to be following our big league legion ball players, Denny Li twin and Don Bentz last Saturday when they played. Denny twisted his ankle and Don was hit by a ball. Denny pitched on Sunday despite protests from his friends but lost. Now the team will have to start at the bottom again and work up. But we "have every confidence that they will still hit the top again. It was a tough break but keep plugging fellas, and we'll keep rooting for you to win. Song Fest A daily serenade could be heard last week as the girls waited for the bus to come and take them to day camp. It presented a very nice, sound for many late sleepers to wake up to and we're sort of sorry it's over. Visitors Here Mr. and Mrs. Pitt are enjoying the visit of their granddaughter Pat. Pat likes it here very much and will \be mighty sorry when she has to leave. Art and Myrtle Bentz>s daughter, Jan Thuring, is still visiting but took a day off and- went to Milwaukee to visit her sister there. And Dot Formella is enjoying the company of her cousin, Pat, who is spending a few weeks here this summer. We hope she likes it here and is having a very ni6e visit. to be a real whiti^dfife io ifotft miss it. * So Tirpd Was the report of Barb Schlick last week after the day camp was over. She was in charge of sixteen girl scouts and said she never worked harder in her life. Another Swing Set .has been donated to the com- "munity by Mrs. Tomao. It needs a couple of poles but as soon as the construction committee has it in shape you will probably be seeing it at the beach. This should provide plenty of equipment for the children to use . while at the beach now. And a big thanks to Mrs. Tomao. Tanned Retunrers Among those lucky people that had nice vacations are the Callahans who just returned from two weeks in Florida. They enjoyed the rest and the sunshine and sights. • v Down that way Betty Griesbach took off with her daughter for a trip to sunny California. They are also sporting beautiful tans and vacation memories. Those Rogdes have guests for the week again. Hazel and husband are so fond of company they almost need a guest house.

August 18 is thfc day, Pistakee Highlands the place, and the event is the big annual Pistakee picnic. All residents and nearby committees are urged to come for a day filled with fun. There will be games contests, pony rides, and the big barbecue of the steer and other luscious refreshments. The day of fun will be climaxed by dancing at the barn in the evening to the music of a local band. It promises " Next Week we will have a complete report of the girl scout day camp that is still in progress at this writing. So watch for the details of the week of fun. A Robbery was reported at the Burk residence on Lake Shore Drive. Their hose used for watering the lawn mysteriously disappeared and they would appreciate having it returned or any information as to what happened to it. Full House Warming The Taylors had their housewarming party on July 14 and quite a full house ti was, too. Friends and relatives came from ne.ar and far until the house was packed. But a good time was had by one and all and Mrs. Taylor is still awed over the beautiful gifts that were left for her new house. We hear that a lovely lounge chair was one of them so now the'Taylors will, have to take turns relaxing in it. : ' What's This? It seems there was one male at the girl scout camp last week and he enjoyed his stay - very much. The girls didn't really mind too much though since he was only one year old' and was Bobby Schlick who was there with his mother. •" * Home Again Janet Peloquin will have lots to talk about for the rifeiff few months to her friends. She* just returned from a trip to Denver, Colorado with her grandma and reports that those mountains are just the most. She spent two wonderful weeks touring the state and visited Pike's Peak and all the scenic spots. Her mom and dad enjoybd hearing about the trip as they proceeded to paint their house. Walter is on vacation but has plenty to^keep him busy with the house to paint. Where's those snap shots, Janet? Top Htmdjni so far go to Kay;Sielisch as the block captain who has passed out the most tickets for the picnic. So *r with Cooling Hot Weather Tips For the job-bound who can't get to the ocean, lake or pool during heat waves, here are some practical cool-off tips for the family. Dunk hot, swollen feat in a basin of cool water to which you add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda. Swelling wanes and pep returns. If watching the 9 pooch pant makes you wilt, give him the same treatment--if he's the cooperative type. Since he perspires through his pads as well as his tongue, cool paws will make him a cooler pup. For that all-over, hot, sticky : feeling, climb into a tub of cool water spiked with a half pound of baking soda. It's a real refresher. And you'll be getting practically the same treatment you'd get at the famous spas-- for spas and soda contain similar properties. The cool soda bath also relieves the soreness of vacation and week-end sunburns. Don't scrub, as that further irritates already tender skin, • and since soda is a mild detergent as well as a mild alkali, you come clean just soaking. If baby has prickly heat, a sponging of affected areas from time* to time with a quart of cool water plus four teaspoons of soda soothes. for better homes for Ibwest prices SEE US NO TANK TO BIIY BUDGET "KMEP.FIU" SERVICE BULK RATES ARE LOWER for domestic, industrial and commercial use DRI-6AS KEEPS YOUR TANK FILLED you only pay a MONTHLY PAYMENT Our bright green cylinders are, of course, available for regular use* T H E A L L - P U R P O S E F U E L Is a registered trademark of THE DRUGAS COMPANY ROBERT HAY CONSTRUCTION Co.

Reporters Comment This reporter included the above notice sent in to her because in a job such as our officers hold in the association there is always an abundance of criticism and too little credit given for all the many hours of. effort put out. It takes very little time and no effort to criicize others. Any jobs that anyone does for the community association is done for the good of the community with no reward except appreciation. So the above notice was gratefully accepted. Reed Carlson returned to Chicago after a week with Kay and Wally Sielisch. He .enjoyed his stay very much. • Welcome Praise The district of councilman Kay Sielisch wishes to thank Ray Novotny and all officers of the association for the grand job they have VACATION SPEED A recent speed survey shows, out-of-state "cars average higher ! speeds than Illinois cars. This, says the Illinois Division of Traffic Safety, illustrates the common habit of drivers on long trips to go faster than those going shorter distances. Common sense would indicate that drivers should useless speed on roads which are unfamiliar and on trips which call for long hours at the' wheel. Extra speed is the reason why many who start out for a happy vacation trip meet with accidents along the way. OBSERVE NATIONAL FARM, HOME SAFETY WEEK JULY 21-27 Keep accidents out of your kitchen.
