V. • ; Thursday, December 3, 1959 THE tffcHENRY PLATNDEALER Page Seventeen I*kemoor REPORTER BACK TO WORK AFTER OF BABY by Annette Schmit .No doubt many of my readers missed the Lakemoor column during the holiday week, and I'm sure all understand that mother, having brought her new little puppet home from the hospital, just didn't have hands enough that week to meet her deadline. Little M^annette (Puppet) is an adorable baby and attended her first social event in the form of her christening at St Mary's church last Sunday. With all the hub-bub over, we hope this reporter can "again resume the job of bringing you your week's news. Don't forget to call at anytime with your items. EV. 5-5239. seventeen! And the lucky man who is really living it is young Jerry Foutfe. He celebrated his birthday on Thursday, Nov. 19. Many happy returns, Jerry, and try not to grow too fast in the next couple years. One lpses sight of "seventeen" all too soon. It's a Girl! A fragile little piece of feminine fluff was flown by the stork to St. Therese hospital in Waukegan on Nov. 19. She yv a s baby Sharon Renee', daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Jacobson, the former Jean Weingard. Little Sharon weighed in at a tiny little sixthree. pnn Party in November Young Tommy Para had always yearned for a lawn party for his birthday, just like his sister has in the summer. However, his birthday is on Nov. 15, and the weather isn't exactly ideal at that time of year. This year, tho. Tommy's dream came true. He started his party with a small handful of friends. Tl^y ventured into the yard for a snowball fight. Before his party was really^ begun, he had snowballed his way to a guest list of fifteen. Among other guests at his party were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Para and family, Mrs. Jean Dember, of Lakemoor, and Grandmother Para. A little late, but we wish you many happy returns, Tom. A Deer Hunting Just prior to the holiday we received word that Mac Mcpermott got the yen for venison steak again and this year returned to his hunting haunts up north to find himself his dieer for the year. Haven't yet learned the outcome of the trip but you can bet I can smell the steaks already. Hat's Off The village's hat is off to that v wonderful fellow, Harry Strnad. Harry has never failed to be where he was needed, fenrhe was needed. The folks bn the south side of the lake are indeed grateful to him for his wonderful good samaritati act recently when he spread cinders on all the icy spots around that section. The bridges got some, the curves got some, and any place that looked bad got it too. Here's a man who deserves hat's off, anytime! Happy Anniversaries That fine couple we all know as Mr. and Mrs. Anton Hirsch celebrated not one but two anniversaries on Thursday, Nov. 19. It was the anniversary of their tenth year of matrimonial muldoons as well as the occasion of their eighth year here in the United States of America. They are not onlyp-the cutest couple, but also the finest citizens we know. Congratulations folks, and may all your problems be little taxes. Dislocates Shoulder On Tuesday, Nov. 24, Mc- Henry verged victorious over Warren high school of Grayslake, in their first wrestling match of the season, but speaking of firsts, it was the first round of that first match that put Don Kibbs in trouble. Don suffered a dislocated shoulder. Sure hope you're on the mend now, Don. Anyorte wishing tickets please contact this reporter or phone Richard Hyatt at EV. 5-4007. Danger--Thin Ice! Last week, the thin ice proved disasterous to little T o m m y S c h m i d t . He w a s rushed to McHenry hospital where he has since recovered. However, this is only the first of what could be many thin ice tragedies. Parents, please let all the"*vhildren know that a notification will appear in this column when the ice is sufficiently thick. The freezes have not been heavy enough yet to warrant weight on the ice. Near the shore line it is thickening, but oommon sense tells us to wait, rather than to wonder. Please, kids, keep off for just a little while yet. Just think, we'll have all winter of thick ice, but let's not rush the season. Y.C.W. Seventeen That wonderful age. Condolences The village extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Ruth Gullachson Rogers who passed away just before the holiday. She leaves her husband, Louis, and three boys, Buddy, Jerry, and Chet. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chet Gullachson, also survive.

Girl Scouts Troop S09 It was learned recently that Scout Leader Pat Morrison will be going to Camp* Hawthorne Hill in the near future to renew her campers license: Camp Hawthorne Hill is in Elgin. The scouts of this troop as well as the boys of Boy Scout Troop 161 went to the Sun- Times building on the nineteenth. Thirty boys and girls, seven adults, the bus driver and his daughter, made up the entire group. On the way they all stopped to have lunch. Everyone enjoyed the trip very much. The next meeting of Troop 309 will be held on Dec. 7 at which time a court of awards will be held. Adults are needed to help collect for the boys. Our collections will have to cover the Lilymoor, Lakemoor and the Holiday Hills area. It would be impossible for one or two men to cover this vast area alone. Anyone willing to help in this fund raising campaign, please contact either Ted Beahler or Ray Morrison. V.F.W. Boy Scouts Troop 161 The charter presentation held on Nov. 18, was a wonderful affair with about sixty-four boys in attendance. Most everyone has received the brochures handed out by the scouts recently, wherein the problem of fund raising has been brought before the public. It is now necessary to appeal for help to the civic minded citizens of the community. Swimming Pool Project Representatives will be needed in this area i to help raise funds for the new swimming pool project that is gaining such momentum in McHenry. Anyone from our area who wishes to help, please contact William Pries in McHenrv. Elmhurst on Saturday, 28. Nov.

EVENINGS BY APPOINTMENT PHONE EVergreen- / From where I sit... iy Joe Marsh Junior's Name was "MUD" Red Jackson's seven-yearold, Junior, was passing by the local beauty parlor the other day. He looked in the window and saw a lady with one of those mud packs on her face. Busting with curiosity, he walked in and asked her why she had all that stuff on. The lady was taken babk*for"a moment but politely answered, "It's to make me look pretty." When the beautician removed the mud pack, Junior took a close look at the lady and commented, "It dtdnt really work, did it?" From where I sit, count on children to tell the truth-- sometimes, the embarrassing truth. Maybe we adults could use more of that. For instance, maybe we ought to admit that tolerance "doesn't really work" until we eliminate all our intolerances-- even to respecting a neighbor's right to enjoy a quiet glass of beer. Good neighborliness begins when intolerance ends... and, in troth, we all ought to work towards Qqynght, MSB.
