Harry tells me that they celebrated this grand occasion which took place on September 11th, by taking an extended trip together. They went to Nagara Falls (of course. Where do honeymooners go?), then up into Quebec Canada, where they visited the Basiliea of St. Anne de Du Prieux, toured the Northeastern States and spent five days in New York and two days in Washington, D. C. Harry •aid he tried to sit in the Presidential seal, but was told to wait until elecion. (Bet they didn't know you were our J. P. Harry!) At any rate, they had a wonderful had a wonderful time and travelled through our beautiful I Autumn weather. Belated Happy ' Anniversary, folks! Oh yes, and -while all of the above was taking t } place, Grandma Hlavacek ' (Othele's mom) spent her* vacation taking care of her two grandsons Terry and Jim. Who had the best time Gram? . £>, L.I.A. News The L.I.A. had their annual dinner last Saturday evening, enjoying a wonderful chicken dinner, served family style with all the trimmings, at Club Lilymoor.

Dick Hyatt tells me they are very. hopeful of opening our much eagerly awaited Library by the first part of October. We hope you can make it, Dick. We All know how hard you members W the L.I.A. have worked and al1 of us are grateful. The L.I.A. wishes all the donors of books who have so far remained anoymous would please call either Dick Hyatt or myself and make yourself known.

I, Lily Lake Ladles Aid Members of the Lily Lake Ladies Aid had a social meeting last Friday, followed by an installation dinner at the Vogue on Saturday night. A good time was enjoyed by one and all. -- Mr. and Mrs. Hoppert, (Henry and Delorcs) and son Michael took their Aunt, .Miss Elizabeth Schaefer for a visit at the Koine of Miss Schaefer's brother in Lombard. The occasion was a birthday celebration for her niece and nephew. Miss Schaefer had a wonderful time,,' as did the Hopperts, and as We all know they had beautiful weather that weekend. The "Silent" Village The past week found many of us finding out for the first time just how much we use the telephone service and how matter of fact we take it. It was a low blow when we picked up our receivers to make a call and heard that none but emergency calls were being accepted due to the work stoppage.. I'm glad they negotiated so quickly, for I sure miss heading from my loved ones and calling them too, to make sure that everyone is O.K. I know all of you must feel the same -way. So it was with delight"-.that I heard that we could once again use this modern convenience, Which We all take for granted. I just hojpe that the "phone girls" get what they want without too ^much delay, don't you? / Sticks and Stones It seems such a shame that some of the children get such a perverse pleasure in throwing stones at the street lights in our fair village. It works a hardship on the surrounding homes when this happens, and It is only then that we are made conscious of this very necessary seirvice. Our corner street light has been broken four times in the past year, and we have Seen small boys from time to time throwing stones at the lights on other corners. Come on, kids, we all love you and know what fun it is td peg a rock, but aim at a tin ran can't you? It takes a long time for the Utility Company to come out and replace these lights. Motto I think an appropriate motto for our new Library would be this one by TUpper: "A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever." P.T.A. Mrs. Buchwalter reports that the next meeting of the Lily Lake P.T.A. will be held October third at 8:00 p.m. at the Lily Lake School House. Those who 'did not attend the last meeting missed a real treat. They had a visitor. The district director ,Mrs. Charles Fage, a very gracious lady and A good speaker. . Everyone enjoyed hercotmftents. Mrs, ^Buchwalter asks "parents, of Lily Lake school children to come to this P.T.A. meeting. They need your help.

Services were held from the Universalist church here Sunday morning, with burial in Woodland cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. John I Story, former McHenry residents, observed their golden wedding in Chicago Sept. 18. The Story's operated the Riverside hotel here for many years, where they celebrated their china, pearl and silver wedding anniversaries. Two weddings took place here recently. Miss Julia Stoffel and Charles Reihansperger were married at St. Mary's church, last Saturday and Miss Francis Welch and Dr. A. I. Froehlich at St. Patrick's church Thursday morning. St. John's church," Johnsburg, was the setting for the marriage of Miss Veronica Young of this city and Mr. Stephen Schmitt of McHenry^ which took place Wednesday morning with Rev. Father Schmitt of Oklahoma, brother of the groom, officiating. From Ostend comes the news that two young inexperienced men from Chicago visited their neighborhood looking for farm work. Neither one of them could milk but wanted $40 a month and room and board. They wanted the farmer to pay for their time and teach them to work. We wonder where they can go and learn any profession without paying for it." Not. many farmers can afford to spend their, time teaching and then pay the pupils for his time at the above named rate.

Find o Picture to Keep A few minutes ago we heard a group of youngsters outside our window chanting "Finderskeepers." Now,'we thought, there's a good phrase fdr all picture takers to remember. For only if you really use your viewflnder--and use it properly--will you get pictures that you'll be proud of and want to keep. With your eye centered on the viewfinder--and a second lobk before you click--you'll learn to see as your camera "sees." Make sure you've caught the scene you want in the viewer--then check to see that the picture elements are arranged to show up clearly. For example, if you're shooting a dark-colored subject, try to get it against a fairly light-cdlored background. Without such contrast, your camera won't be able to "see" enough to give you a really good picture. If you're taking close-ups, you'll want to avoid "scalping" your subject. The best plan is to aim your camera so that the viewi finder shows an ihch or two of air space over the subject's head. And .in every case, be sure the action to be pictured is not lost against ia distracting, cluttered background. We think it's worthwhile to practice playing "finders--keepers." Just remember your camera can't give you a better picture than the one you see in the viewfinder. That's why a look before you click .will pay off in all your picture taking. --John Van Guilder Sept. 21, after a few weeks illness at the age of 83 years.
