Place Third In The County The Wonder Workers 4-H unit came in third in the Share the Fun county competition at Woodstock high school April 25. Each county unit produced a skit for the final competition. "Fun in '59" was the title of the Wonder Worker's production which consisted of a camp fire sing around a very real looking camp fire in the center of the stage. Leader Mrs. Jay Hansen says the credit should go to Marvin Wenck, chorus director at Harrison school, since most of the girls had their chorus training there. Legion Post News A special meeting of American Legion Post No. 1169 was held April 27 for .tlje purpose of presenting the recommendation of the post executive committee to dispose of the present Legion property located on the Ringwood road. It is felt that with the everincreasing number of veterans in Wonder Lake, the future site of the Legion should be more centrally located, with a building befitting a growing community. Regular monthly meetings will be held, thereby retaining the charter, and all programs twill continue as scheduled. The scholastic awards will be presented to the outstanding boy and girl graduates of the Harrison and Ringwood schools, and the annual Memorial Day ceremonies and parade will be held.

This will be the third Tuesday, which is the regular business meeting night the year around. Two seventy-two passenger busses will be leased by the school board for next year. The "board anticipates it will take three runs to pick up the students in these larger busses, instead of the four runs it took with the old busses. Bowling League Finale They danced until 3 o'clock in the morning at the Friday Night Business Men's Bowling League banquet held Saturday night. In their reluctance to go home the crowd paid tribute to the fine dance band that furnished the music. One Springfield Trip - Her name is "Bonanza", that trim four passenger Beechcraft of Art Gaits, that flew the mothers to Springfield last Friday. And a bonanza she proved to be, making the trip down in a little over an Tiour, at an air speed of 140 mph, in near perfect flying weather. The drone of the motor is broken only by the beep of the radio signal, dot, dot, dash, dot, dash. . . the Fox River is behind you, then the Illinois River, and soon the landing strip of the Capitol airport can be seen ahead. ". A car was waiting to whisk the women off to a tour of the Little Red School House, parent operated school for retarded children in its second year of operation in Springfield. There they met the teachers and several members of the parent group, and were shown through the classrooms. Thie school has twenty-six children enrolled, with an age span of 6 to 21 years. Displays of their academic work and handicraft such as rug weaving, wood carving, embroidery and artificial flowers were arranged in every room. The school has a budget of $15,000 a year, most of which comes from the United Community fund of the city, and the remainder from tuition payments by the parents where they are able. Then our Wonder Lake delegation was taken to the executive mansion to meet Gov. and Mrs. Stratton and to brouse through the rooms of the beautiful old home. There, were 160 guests at the reception and after coffee the Governor and his most gracious first lady gave generously of their time to talk with the mothers. Upon learning it was Marg's first time in a plane (she'd take a rocket to the moon if it would help the cause of retarded children), Mrs. Stratton prescribed tablets for air sickness which she always carries in her purse. She told our friends that she has a pack with the weather man, she has had good weather for every reception tea, since she has been living in the Governor's mansion. Then, Cinderella-like, the mothers hurried back to the airport and their pilot friend, Joe Rasymas, for the return flight to Wonder Lake. Mission accomplished. News Briefs Mr. and Mrs. John Sirtak are off to Carthage College May 9 and 10 to attend Parent's Weekend and see son John, Jr., who is a freshman there. Get well cards would be appreciated by George Unwin who returned to the hospital in Waukegan, and by Mrs. Gussie Sadler, who is convalescing from surgery at the Memorial hospital in Woodstock. Our best wishes to both these Wonder Center residents. Three birthdays past are those of Ruthie Wilson, who was 11 on April 25 arid Kathie Ahrens who was 11 on the twenty-sixth of April, and Eleanor Miller, who was 31 again on April 29. Hippy birthday all.
