" , ' Altar Boys meet every other Friday evening at-the Church at 7:15 p.m. Outer Suburbia Recently we received a letter from the mother of one of two boys, aged 14 and. 16, who wepefined $10 each by our lactd Justice, The' boys had trespassed and were target shoting in the channel. When apprehended at their car they discovered that they had lost their wallet containing drivers and hunting licenses. The wallet has since been found and the mother is grateful to the persons who were instrumental in returning it. We would like to point out that the projectile of a 22 caliber rifle with a carrying range of one mile is a lethal weapon in our built-up community. The first complaint came from a woman who heard the lead whizzing over her head. It is,no longer possible to enjoy the freedom of "being out in the open" with a rifle in this area. The State of Illinois permitted its first deer season in over fifty years this fall. Permits were issued for the use of shotguns using slugs, only. Slugs have a maximum effective range of 100 yards, or 300 feet--compare this with a wild flying 22 at 5,280 feet. It is to be hoped that there is a general realization of the hazards of the sport of shooting small arms before a tragedy does take place. Both .McHenry and Wonder Lake have, ranges and gun clubs to'accommodate the enthusiast. &ofh Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. George-Unwin of Maple Drive, Wonder Center, will celebrate their golden wedding an-; niversary Nov. 23 by holding open Rural Carrier Examination An examination for rural carrier for the post office at Wonder Lake will1 be open for acceptance of applications until Dec. 10, the civil service commission announced today.
