The Case of the Missing Cane Have any of you ladies who attended the Thursday night ladies' league banquet in Ingleside recently, noticed a cane around your house?. It it is a strange one and it doesn't jyiong to you, it may be the We Alice Ross is looking for. It seems Alice brought the cane along to the banquet as p a r t o f * h e r c o s t u m e f o r t h e skit' she participated in later h i ' t h e e v e n i n g . S h e w e n t home and left her cane hanging somewhere. She has b e e n told that one of the ladies took it along so Alice is most anxious to have it returned. It may come in handy in case her ever loving Ear} would trip and sprain his ankle while gathering daisies for her. So if you took the cane along h o m e a n d m a y b e f o r g o t y o u did, let this serve as a reminder and contact Alice soon. , Johnsburg Boys. League The spring tryout meeting of the Johnsburg boys league was held on Thursday, May 5, with a good size turnout of young men. All present were in a baseball mood and were raring to go. The various teams were picked at this time which consists of four major teams and three minor teams. The major teams are made up o f t h e , o l d e r b o y s w h i l e t h e younger ones make up the minor teams. Just a few of the registration fees and release forms are still missing at this time. Parents, please see that these two important items are taken care of as soon as possible. No boy can play ball unless his release is signed by his parents so be sure this is not neglected too long. These slips are to be turned in to the team manager at the first practice session. If your release slip is lost you can pick up another, at either Paul's Drive-In or from Mrs. Patterson who is the secretarytreasurer. A game schedule is being arranged and the first game will be announced soon. The first game will take place possibly the first week in June. The new managers are as follows: major league, Harry Freund, Archie Fletcher, Lee Marshall and Joe Himpleman; minor league, Cyril Heim, Archie Fletcher and Bob Joyce. In the very near future some person will be happy when the boys league will announce the winner of their recent project. This announcement' will be made at their first scheduled game. Graduation day--one of the big occasion*--call* for pictures. J>ot j| formal and informal, for remembering throng!) the v^ars. Graduation--Truly a Picture Occasion Graduation Day exercises are in full swing across the --•country. Hundreds of thousands will be clutching the tightly-rolled diploma that closes one chapter and opens another in the wonderful story of "growing up." " Whether the boy or girl graduate in your family is entering high school, heading off to college, or getting launched on a new career, this is a memorable time--a big-time occasion--in terms of family Bistoryi That's why we suggest you let your camera help you record it in the only fitting way--in permanent form on JUm. ^ In most schools and colleges Voday, Graduation Dby is a misnomer--it should really be called Graduation Week. For fehool's end is now marked by '• score of special events-- Proms, senior banquets, class plays, and all sorts of festivities before the "great day" ^tself. If you're a wise parent--or ~ grandparent--you'll salute the iroung graduate in two ways. " rst, you'll do a little planig- ahead and have your camera ready for a series of tf£icture-taking sessions. No single yearbook picture can ever tell the story of the tun and excitement. From the whole collection 01 snapshots you take, select the> best ones and mount them in a special Graduation album. There, recorded on film for the future, will be everything worth remembering about this happy time. And you can be sure both the graduate and his .family will have countless hours of pleasure re-living his school-day memories as the years go by.,, . The second of the ways to salute your young graduate is by means of a gift that he'd enjoy receiving. Here, may we suggest that you consider a camera? For what other gift item is more likely to please and more capable of providing so many hours of satisfaction? A simple flash camera is a fine choice for a young teenager, and an older graduate will appreciate a more elaborate camera or accessories for the one he already owns. You may also want to think about giving a miniature camera or one of the new low-priced movie cameras to the student who'll be off to college next fall. --John Van Guilder W CLEARANCE SALE „ ON ALL CARPETS IN STOCK ft ' Rolls, Remnants, and Used Rugs "SAVE from 25 to 65% , 9x12 new rugs $39.95 and up; regular price ^,$59.95,and up.
