I understand that somehow last week I Ifad unintentionally cast aspersions at the young lads on Visitor FVom Heaven Falling from his celestial star, and making his entrance to the world at the, home of Roy and Rita 2?leSl r~:was not my in*en tion at all. If in any way, my item" iErickson, is little Edward Joseph hurt anyone, I am sorry and would like all to know that my original intent was to cgll attention to the terrific traffic we are dealing with this summer. More' so than other ears the1 traffic is almost bumper bumper through our village beween the hours of 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Sunday evenings. The call to cyclists is meant to apply to bicycles as well. We have had our share of tragedy in the village. Let's try to preveht any more. We love our young folks and would like to see them protected. August Visitors . Mrs. Jennie Vallone spent last toteek with relatives in Chicago. Last Sunday Mrs. Vallone entertained a group of fifteen relatives and frlehds with an outdoor dinner. Mrs. Edna Petlak and daughter Linda spent two very wonderful weeks visiting relatives in Huntington, West Virginia, and Fort Knox, Kentucky. Last weekend company at the JValter Para home were Mrs. Scienski and children of Eau Claire, Michigan. Miss Rosanrte Brzezinski returned last week from girl scout camp after a thoroughly busy and happy two weeks. Vacationing here in the Walter Para home while the Paras vacatibned in Michigan were Mrs. Francis Para and children. ^Visiting at the Ed Jink's home W Ed's mother, Mrs. Jinks from Boston. Sick List After surgery, it is reported that Agnes Swenski is doing very nicely. We were surprised, to say the least, when we heard of Agnes' illness and hope that she will soon be completely recovered. Mrs. Wegener has been ill lately jjkid it would be a nice thing if she could receive some cards and visits from some of her friends in the district. Mrs. Wegener has been the very able treasurer of the Ladies League for some time, despite the fact that she has been bedridden for a long time. Erickson. He figured into the family at 7 a:m. Thursday, August 1, at the Woodstock hospital. Master Edward weighed a strong 7 lbs. 7% oz. and arrived with his mother back at the family home on Sunday, August 4. Reports have it that mother and little Eddie are in rare form, both eager "to get at the business of sterilizing bottles. Master Edward is reputed to be a very good baby and is causing, none of the usual cry-baby- stuff. Congratulations to the lovely couple, and hello wee one! First There Were Three . Last week I reported that good news was in the offing. Rita made the i^ews leak out. One downtwo to go. Who's next?. Five To Go Ed Jipks tells me that pretty Penny's pups are still available to any little boy or girl who will give them a good home. Two very pretty puppies have already found their place in society and five are waiting for the children to see them and want them. Mr. Jinks does not have the facilities to keep the pups and in the event that those that are left are not called for by folks in the district, he will be forced to take them to the orphans of the storm. These will be little dogs and are as cute as a button. Wouldn't you like a puppy? Congratulations Congratulations are in order for r. and Mrs. A. L. Leon who celeated their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary last Monday, Aug. 5. Mr. and Mrs. James Schmit celebrated their fifteenth wedding anniversary on Thursday. August 1.

Her son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Geiger presented her with their new daughter last week at the Woodstock hospital. Reports have it that grandma is bearing up well, and has at last relaxed from all the nervous tension. Congratulations, grandmother Ti.

Due to the oncoming future developments in the Schmit household it is going to become extremely difficult for me to continue with the Lakemoor column.

TWO-THIRDS OF AMERICANS HAVE HEALTH INSURANCEOnce upon a time every household had an invalid These people were frequently suffering from some vague and chronic ailment never diagnosed by a doctor. Today, the average American gets his difficulties diagnosed, he goes to a hospital and has necessary operations., and he returns to vigorous, active living. Only occasionally are people pushed into a backwater of invalidism; some because they are beyond cure, others because they cannot afford needed care. People who cannot afford hospital care today are considered by economic experts in the same class with the grasshopper of the Aesop fable who danced away the summer and did not prepare for the irage'Oewt difficult days of the winter. This is because hospitalization is so easily available and should be a ""must" with every wage earner, every housewife, every family head, because no one can really : "afford" to be ill. Statistics show that more than two-thirds of the American people now have some form of voluntary health insurance. Administrator Bert Hanson of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County at Woodstock says there are five type of voluntary health insurance programs available to American families. Three types are most widely used, to help pay hospital, surgical and regular medical bills. The fourth type aids in meeting expenses of major illness; the fifth type provides protection against the loss of wages due to sickness or accidept.
